Chapter 167 A Year Later

The final item of the auction was Earthquake Hammer, an earth-grade weapon with immense power, forged from a combination of rare metals and infused with the essence of the earth element. This mighty weapon is renowned for its ability to shatter the ground and topple structures with a single strike. Bidding for the Earthquake Hammer began at one hundred and fifty thousand spirit stones, capturing the attention of the influential figures present. Lord Feng of the Huang Clan, , and Lady Yue of the Shen Clan found themselves locked in a relentless bidding war, each vying to acquire this formidable weapon. The final bidding price reached one million spirit stones. Lady Yue of the Shen clan was able to acquire this earth-grade weapon.

As the final gavel fell, the auction came to a close, with the Huang Clan and the Shen Clan each claiming their hard-won prizes. The intense bidding wars between the two families had made the event unforgettable, and the auction had been an astounding success on multiple levels.

First and foremost, the reputation of the Khaleesi Auction House had been bolstered exponentially. Word of the rare and valuable items sold at the auction, as well as the fierce competition between the Huang Clan and the Shen Clan, would spread throughout Jadesky City and beyond, drawing more attention and business to the auction house.

Furthermore, the event provided Han Cai and his team with invaluable connections among Jadesky City's elite. As the hosts of such a prestigious and successful auction, they had gained the respect and trust of influential figures in the city, giving them greater access to the inner circles of power. This would prove invaluable as they continued their mission to infiltrate and manipulate the highest echelons of the Mystic Sky Kingdom.

The auction had also given Han Cai and his team a unique opportunity to observe the dynamics between the various factions within Jadesky City. The rivalry between the Huang Clan and the Shen Clan, as well as their respective backers, the Crimson Serpents and the Aurelian Dragons, was now clear to them.

As the attendees filed out of the Khaleesi Auction House, their pockets lighter and their arms laden with treasures, Han Cai and his team took stock of their accomplishments. They had taken a significant step forward in their mission, and the seeds they had planted during the auction would soon bear fruit. Little did the attendees know that the true purpose of the event had been far more than just the exchange of rare items; it had been the beginning of a grand scheme that would change the course of the Mystic Sky Kingdom's future.

Months passed, and the Khaleesi Auction House quickly established itself as a cornerstone of Jadesky City's vibrant social scene. Each meticulously planned event was a veritable showcase of opulence and grandeur, attracting the wealthy and influential residents of the city and beyond. Under the expert guidance of Han Cai and his team, the auction house earned a reputation for offering an unmatched selection of rare and valuable materials, setting it apart from its competitors and solidifying its status as the premier auction house in the Mystic Sky Kingdom.

Month after month, the anticipation and excitement surrounding the Khaleesi Auction House's events continued to grow. Lavish displays of exquisite treasures and Earth-grade materials captivated the imaginations of bidders and spectators alike, with each auction surpassing the last in terms of both scale and spectacle. From enchanting jewels and precious metals to ancient artifacts imbued with mystic power, the selection of items available for bidding was truly unparalleled.

As word of the Khaleesi Auction House's extraordinary events spread throughout the Mystic Sky Kingdom, bidders and collectors from all corners of the country began to make the journey to Jadesky City. The auction house's reputation for luxury and exclusivity transcended borders, drawing in a diverse array of nobles, aristocrats, and other powerful figures, each vying for a chance to acquire the treasures on offer.

As the Khaleesi Auction House's fame grew, so too did the fortunes of Han Cai, Han Dai, and their team. Their reputation as purveyors of Earth-grade treasures and unparalleled luxury afforded them a level of prestige and influence within Jadesky City's high society that was difficult to overstate. And as their influence grew, so too did their ability to gather intelligence and further their ultimate goals within the Mystic Sky Kingdom

Han Cai, Han Dai, and their crew have made great progress in their goal to infiltrate the Mystic Sky Kingdom over the course of a year. They had established a firm basis for their power within the upper echelons of society as affluent merchants and proprietors of the famed Khaleesi Auction House and Inn. Their success was dependent on the ties they carefully developed with significant figures in the country. The auction house had built friendly relationships with both the powerful Huang Clan and the powerful Shen Clan.

It was no easy task to navigate the complicated web of power relations inside the royal family and court, but Han Cai and Han Dai proved themselves more than competent. Their natural charm and quick wit enabled them to build connections with numerous key members of the court, pulling them into their inner circle and gaining significant insights into the kingdom's political environment. This knowledge was critical to their objective since it allowed them to better grasp the Mystic Sky Kingdom's main actors' strengths, weaknesses, and motives.

Han Cai and Han Dai had managed to convert their Khaleesi Inn into a renowned establishment known across the kingdom for its elegance and splendor, in addition to their attempts to create contacts inside the court. Many visitors visiting Jadesky City for the auctions decided to stay at the Khaleesi Inn, enhancing its reputation and adding to its expanding prominence. The success of the inn not only served to legitimize their presence in the city, but it also supplied a consistent source of cash that allowed them to finance their activities and keep their cover.

At this point, the Khaleesi brand had established itself as one of the most trustworthy and dependable in the magical Sky Kingdom.

Over the time, there were subtle changes in the rules of the Khaleesi auction house. Previously, the Khaleesi auction house would deliver the item as soon as the bidding was completed, but there had been minor alterations in the regulations, for example. Instead of just delivering the item to the bidder and performing an exchange, the bidder had to pay first, and the house would check to see if the bidder had paid the required amount. Only then would the item be delivered to the bidder. But since the Khaleesi had become a very reliable brand, no one questioned them.

Although infiltration was Han Cai and Han Dai's major goal, they realized that their attempts to position themselves as renowned merchants and entrepreneurs were delivering unanticipated rewards. The Khaleesi Inn and Auction House, which had begun as a front for their covert operations, had grown into a successful business with huge revenues.
