Home/ Devil / Chapter 69

Demons love the night, especially powerful ones.

The most grand events in most places are held at midnight, weak demons almost disappear in the city at this time, and all those who dare to travel at this time are only high-level demons.

“I have to say that Kohler is very brave. The invitation you got originally belonged to him, he has come to this kind of auction three times! As the weakest demon in the city, he dares to walk openly on the street, Tsk tsk! No wonder he has been unable to gain weight even though he’s rich, he’s under a lot of pressure!”

The red-haired female demon was walking on the road while speaking, while the people around were looking at her. She was obviously accustomed to being watched by others, and while accepting the gaze of others, she also gave a contemptuous glance at the roadside. 

“Pay attention to yourself.” The black-haired man walking in front of her said suddenly, and looked back at the female demon behind him.

Noticing that the direction he was looking at was her chest like the other demons, the female demon hurriedly covered her chest with her hands while being shy 

“It’s disgusting, boss, it turns out that you also care about other people’s breasts…”

“I only care about your pectoral muscles.” After saying this lightly, the black-haired man turned his head again, and continued walking.

The female demon suddenly froze in her place, and when she looked down, she let out a scream as she saw that her chest was flat with strong muscles.

“Disgusting! Boss, why didn’t you remind me that my chest muscles haven’t changed back? You still let him be stared at like this for so long…” The woman complained while rubbing her breasts vigorously. The place where she rubbed was strong muscles tangled with flesh, causing the scene to look extremely weird. The people next to her kept glancing at it, but she ignored them and howled at anyone who dared to look at it. After a while, no one around them dared to look over.

“It’s so difficult to turn the pectoral muscles into breasts!” She rubbed her chest with a bit of heartache. With her constant efforts, the pectoral muscles finally turned into towering breasts again, and her chest swayed as she walked forward.

The man in front walked indifferently, seemingly turning a deaf ear to her words.

However, after a while, more and more sights drifted towards them.

Compared to women with hot bodies wearing tight fitting outfits, muscular women in tight fitting outfits may also attract similar levels of attention, but the projection in their eyes was quite different.

By the time they reached the outskirts of the venue, all the sights casted towards the man were already envious.

Wearing a black formal suit, Ah Jin handed the invitation to the tall and sturdy guard with his hand wearing gloves. The guard glanced at the little bird-like woman beside him, and then respectfully asked them to enter through the passage behind him.

The venue is divided into three parts. The one that can accommodate the largest number of people is the outer venue. The tickets for this area can be bought if one reaches a certain level. For example, the invitation that Ah Jin was holding now belongs to the outer venue, and it was also one of the assets left by Mr. Kohler. This world is much bigger than the human world that Ji Huan once lived in! There are tens of thousands of cities with the same size as Koloda City in this place, and Kohler is not a big demon with a background, so the invitations he can get can only be at this level.

The invitations for the inner venue are more advanced than the invitations for the outer venue. The number of such invitations is fixed, limited to fifty per year. The person who can receive this invitation is qualified to go on stage to personally identify the auction item.

Finally, there are black invitations that are not issued to the public at all. However, the time and target audience of such invitations are very mysterious, to the extent that the identity of customers holding black invitations every year is only exposed when they have bought certain items.

“This year, a total of six people have received black invitations. One is the lord of northern Ilibia Farhan Rom. It is said that his family has 18 sons vying for his position and he simply decided to take his newly married 34th wife out on vacation; The other is Claude, the lord of Royer City in the west, who is a senior antique lover. This time, he came specifically for a certain item, which one? I haven’t received any information about it yet, but my subordinates have been conducting further investigation, and I should get news before the auction officially starts; The third person is Miss Jin, a wealthy tycoon from the neighboring city, she brought two boyfriends over to play this time. I heard that she had an affair with Farhan Rom before, and it is estimated that the two of them may match up in this auction; what’s more, there is….”

Intimately holding Ah Jin’s arm, the red-haired female demon smiled and whispered next to his ear, almost kissing it. The scene that looks very intimate to others, is actually the female demon reporting the results of the investigation to her boss.

However, this intimacy was quickly interrupted by someone.

“Hey! Isn’t this the successor of that bastard Kohler?” An arrogant voice suddenly came from the opposite side.

Ah Jin slowly turned his head, and saw a…big fat man standing in front of him.

It is not an exaggeration to say that he is really a big fat man. This demon is like a mountain of flesh. Although it seems to have barely strengthened its human appearance, it still doesn’t look like a human or a demon. At this moment, there are two delicate beauties hanging around him, snuggling up to the fat man’s side, obediently wiping his sweat for him.

This auction requires everyone to wear formal attire, which caused this fat man to sweat a lot, it’s quite possible that he usually remains shirtless every day because of his troubled body size.

“Last time, I said I wanted him to enjoy the auction, as next time, this place won’t be open to people like him. Hehe, this time, you really bullied him.” He laughed loudly. and a sour smell of sulphur came out of his mouth, causing the red-haired female demon to frown.

“Hey, Mr. Firzaha, you also brought a beautiful lady with you, this is…” The beauty of the red-haired female demon obviously made this huge demon interested, with a hint of ambiguity, he asked Ah Jin.

“This is……”

Afraid that the boss would say the word “mount”, the red-haired female demon quickly interrupted.

“Hehehehehe, I am Laura, Mr. Firzaha’s secretary, and this is my business card.” As she spoke, she suddenly took out a piece of paper from her chest and handed it over. The fat demon originally wanted to touch her little hand but unexpectedly, he only managed to touched the sharp corner of the business card.

With a desire of wanting to know more about the beauty, the demon glanced at the small piece of paper in his hand, but was stunned when he saw the title on the business card:

“Star newspaper CEO: Miss Farah Laura?”

“It’s me, it’s me~ Mr. Tang Hank is also a loyal reader of my family’s tabloid. You have subscribed to the newspaper for ten years, I really have to thank you.” Covering her mouth with her fair fingers, the red-haired female demon laughed wildly.

The demon Tang Hank, who was recognized at a glance, put away his thoughts for this beauty, and looked at the red-haired female demon opposite him, with a solemn expression in his eyes.

Owning the entertainment newspaper with the highest circulation in the world, the Star newspaper industry can be described as mysterious and huge. There seems to be nothing they don’t know or dare not report in this world. After reporting so much information, they still have survived to this day. This is a strength in itself, and no one knows who their backstage is. Although they have long heard that the boss is a female demon, few people have seen her. Now this person suddenly appeared in front of them, Tang Hank didn’t know what to do for a moment.

But he doesn’t need to deal with it.

The red-haired female demon quickly took the new richest man, Mr. Firzaha, to their seat. Leaning intimately against the man, the female demon ordered the drinks and other services. Although her considerate and gentle posture is not much different from the female companions around him, considering the identity of the female demon, Tang Hank feels that no one around her can even compare to her fingertips!

When he looked at the man next to the red-haired female demon again, Tang Hank’s eyes were already jealous and sharp.

Cough cough, in front of everyone around him, he maliciously said:

“Mr. Firzaha should enjoy this auction. It’s hard to say whether he will be able to sit here next time. Of course, if Miss Laura is still willing to ask him to be his male companion and bring him here.”

For demons, this was a very insulting statement.

The last time Kohler was deeply humiliated was due the banter led by Tang Hank, and he finally spent all his income for a year to buy an antique that he could not even figure out the origin of, and finally left with resentment.

The black-haired man suddenly glanced at him, and the moment he was stared at by those stagnant eyes, Tang Hank had a creepy feeling:

“I was just curious, how many invitations did Mr. Tang used to enter this venue?”

Obviously, this question was also thought about by the people around him. As soon as this question was asked, the huge Tang Hank instantly became the focus of the outside venue.

There was a burst of whispering in the arena.

Damn it – this guy is openly mocking his size, this, this…

“I heard through the grapevine that Mr. Tang Hank spent the price of nine invitations to enter this venue! It is said that he even tried to ask the organizer to give him a discount, but of course, he was rejected.” The others were only discussing it in private, but the red-haired female demon said it loudly.

Adding fuel to the flames, the red-haired female demon smiled and revealed some inside information. This was great, the people who were still whispering could no longer hold back, and there was a burst of laughter in the venue.

For a moment, Tang Hank ignored all the creepy feelings he got from the man, and felt a wave of anger explode from his brain, and the bodies of the two female demons beside him began to tremble slightly. This big guy would eat everything when he got angry…

Fortunately, he held himself back.

The sound of the hammer indicating the start of the auction has already sounded, and making a scene before the auction is supposed to add entertainment to everyone, but if someone causes trouble after the sound of the hammer, the consequences would be very serious.

Sitting on the seat bought with the price of nine invitations, Tang Hank sat down with a livid face.

He stopped paying attention to the auction items which he originally wanted, and his eyes full of haze were fixed on the black-haired man sitting at a distance.

However, it seemed that the man really just came here for business. While sitting on the seat, he let his female companion stick to him, and just seemed to be focused on the progress of the auction.

Finally, after the auction of an antique alarm clock ended, and the organizer brought out a ring, he sat up slightly.

Tang Hank’s attention immediately turned to the midfield, and he, who had been paying attention to the man’s demeanor, was sensitively aware that the man was about to take action.

Sure enough——

“The next item to be auctioned is the only jewellery made by the weapon master Jacob eight hundred years ago: a ring full of ‘love’.”

“The entire ring is made of precious metal “gold”, and the inner wall is inlaid with seven stars, which symbolize the month of Mrs. Jacob’s birth and the time they spent dating before marriage. Master Jacob successfully proposed with this ring, after his family passed away, this ring passed through several owners, resulting in several beautiful marriages. According to legend, one’s marriage proposal will never be rejected with this ring. Similarly, there is also a rumor that this ring is an important part of one of Master Jacob’s weapons.”

“However, the authenticity of this ring cannot be determined at present.”

“It is also for this reason that the starting price is an exception of 500,000 gold bars, please make an offer!”

Along with the host’s rhythmic voice, the bidding began——

Most of the auction items sold at the auction are authenticated as genuine by experts, but occasionally there will be items whose authenticity cannot be determined in the venue. The starting price of such auction items is generally not too high and there will not be many people bidding for these items.

Sometimes people will buy back a fake at a high price, and sometimes they will buy a priceless treasure at a low price.

“500,000 gold bars.” The black-haired man was the first to bid, and his price was quite satisfactory, which happened to be the reserve price offered by the host.

Not long after this price was shouted out, two more people shouted the price one after another, and the price increase was not much. In the end, the price of this ring fell to 800,000 gold bars.

With a malicious smile on the corner of his mouth, Tang Hank suddenly raised his hand: “1.8 million gold bars.”

All of a sudden, the price of the ring was directly increased by 1 million. This move instantly attracted a lot of attention from the audience.

Spending 1.8 million to buy something that may be a fake, but it was just a ring, and this kind of “romantic” behavior was a bit eye-catching.

When it was clear that the bidder was Tang Hank, everyone around him smiled.

Many people have already seen the dispute between him and the young black-haired demon before the start of the auction. Immediately, someone who was close to him, asked Tang Hanke:

“Old Tang, there are two beauties around you, and there is only one ring, which one do you want to give it to?”

“Of course, I’ll give it to whichever is more pleasing. If both of them are the types who don’t have long eyes and can’t speak, I’ll throw them on the street.” Tang Hank touched the slender waists of the two beauties, but his gaze landed on the black-haired man not far away, full of provocation.

This is to make it clear that he will have trouble with the black-haired man.

“2 million.” Turning a blind eye to his actions, the black-haired man added another 200,000.

“3 million.” Tang Hank again increased the price by 1 million!

“3.2 million.” The black-haired man added another 200,000.

“4.2 million!” Tang Hank added another million! Even though this amount was already a bit much for him, thinking of the guy’s ridicule before the auction, Tang Hanke snorted coldly and went hard!

“4.4 million.” The black-haired man quietly added another 200,000 as if he was specifically trying to get through with Tang Hanke.

By this time, even the people in the inner venue had noticed the price-chasing.

“Isn’t that ring fake? Why do these two people keep increasing the price?” It was Farhan Rom in the box who asked the secretary next to him.

Unlike the people outside, they got more comprehensive product information. The ring was 80% likely to be a fake, and they got the news long before the auction started.

“I heard that the two had a quarrel before the auction and Mr. Firzaha laughed at Mr. Tang Hank for being too fat.” The conscientious secretary had already inquired about what happened outside. When the employer asked, he immediately answered.

“Haha! He is obviously a fat man, so why is he afraid of people saying it out loud?” Originally, he was interested in intervening, but when he heard that the price increase was just a quarrel between two people, he immediately lay back lazily.

Just during this period of time, the price chasing outside the box has intensified!

“9.2 million.” The black-haired man said quietly.

Almost as soon as he finished speaking, all eyes in the field focused on Tang Hank!

If he adds another 1 million as usual, the price of this auction item will exceed 10 million! So far in the auction, there wasn’t a single item with an amount exceeding 10 million!

A quarrel caused the price of a possibly counterfeit ring to reach nearly 10 million, this…

Isn’t this what this auction house is looking for?

“9.2 million once, may I ask if there are any customers in the venue who will increase the price?”

After a long time when no one raised the price, the auctioneer started shouting.

“9.2 million twice, may I ask if there is any price increase?”

The eyes of everyone in the venue fell on Tang Hank’s face, including the auctioneer’s.

A big cold sweat dripped from Tang Hanke’s forehead. For a moment, he wanted to increase the price, but…

Ten million words is already equivalent to a quarter of his current property, he…he…

He dare not!

A basin of cold water was poured from the sky, and Tang Hank’s face, which had just been hot with blood, was as pale as death.

“9.2 million thrice, now I declare that this piece of jewellery, which may be the only jewellery made in the life of master Jacob eight hundred years ago: a ring full of “love”, now belongs to Mr. Jin Murphy Firzaha!”

There was a burst of warm applause in the arena.

Although it may seem unfair to throw nearly ten million gold bars for a ring that may be a fake, it is undeniable that the name of this newly crowned rich man has successfully imprinted on the hearts of many people in the venue.

To measure his financial performance today, in a sense, a social gateway has been opened for him.

Among the people who participated in this auction, Mr. Firzaha did not bid for the most items, and the price of the items he auctioned was not the highest, but he received the highest attention.

Numerous reporters surrounded him, asking him how he felt at the moment, and whether it was too risky for him to spend 9.2 million to buy a ring that might be a fake.

Faced with the frenzied siege-like inquiries, Mr. Firzaha just said lightly:

“9.2 million, if I could get one person with this ring, I think it’s still very cheap.”

“The person you want? Excuse me, is it the beauty behind you?” Immediately, a reporter noticed the red-haired beauty next to the black-haired demon, especially at this moment, this beauty was still coquettishly raising her fingers.

“No.” Mr. Firzaha’s answer was as concise as ever.

“It wasn’t for me… you, do you want to give the ring to some other girl?” the red-haired beauty cried.

“It’s not a girl, I am giving it to a man.”

After the young demon with black hair said these words, he was escorted away by the organizer, leaving the reporters in the venue to imagine the rest.
