What a nuisance!
To run into her again.
"You scoundrel, you liar, what a coincidence!" the young girl sneered. "How about it, can't get in, can you? Feeling uncomfortable?"
"What, you want to buy Ice Silkworm Silk again?"
Chen Yu raised his eyebrows.
The person before him was none other than the little rich woman who had cost Chen Yu over 300,000 gold coins.
Ronnie!
Chen Yu didn't want to waste any more words with her.
Judging by her expression, if he spoke to her, she'd cling to him. It was best to keep a respectful distance from people like her.
"Let's go, let's go~"
Turning, Chen Yu was about to go in, but unexpectedly—
"Stop him!"
A sharp, clear cry came from behind.
Instantly, several burly Lionmen at the entrance of the auction hall extended their furry hands, their eyes glaring as they blocked Chen Yu.
What's going on?!
This woman's words actually held sway.
Chen Yu glanced at his wrist.
[Gold Rank]
Hmph!
What's the pretense!
With my Five-Colored Sword, two strikes would put a bowl-sized hole in your skull.
If not for wanting to be devout these past two days.
Heh!
I'd spare their lives.
After staring at the Lionmen for a couple of moments, Chen Yu turned around.
At this moment—
The young girl stood with one hand on her hip, her chin slightly raised, her face filled with defiance.
"Go on, get in!"
"Do you know her?" Chen Yu murmured out of the corner of his eye. Immediately, he saw the goatee's face turn green. He lowered his voice, "Mr. Chen, you have a history with her."
"What, does she have an unusual status?"
To be able to move the two guards at the auction hall entrance with a single sentence, and to throw around hundreds of thousands of gold coins, she must have some status.
"A relative of the City Lord?"
"She, she is the daughter of the Alderton family, Alderton~Ronnie!" the goatee whispered. Hearing this, Chen Yu's eyes widened.
Alderton!
That's not...
Chen Yu glanced behind him. The goatee nodded continuously.
Tsk!
This is truly unlucky.
This woman is from the Alderton family.
And—
The daughter!
This is a bit tricky to handle.
"Oh my, oh my."
Upon learning of Ronnie's identity, Chen Yu rubbed his hands.
"What a coincidence, meeting again, fate has brought us together."
"Fate?" Ronnie scoffed, crossing her arms. "Then you're thinking too much. I came specifically to wait for you. I knew you'd come to the auction, so I came here to catch you."
"Oh my!"
Chen Yu, hearing this, immediately showed surprise.
"Miss, you are truly a divine calculator to have predicted my arrival at the auction. Why go through all this trouble? If you wanted to see me, you could have just said so, and I would have paid you a visit!"
"Pah!"
Ronnie spat directly onto the ground.
"You? Want to step foot into my Alderton family's establishment? Take a look in the mirror at your own character. Golden-hair, Silver-hair, keep an eye on him. This person is not allowed into our auction."
"Yes, Miss!"
The two lions nodded solemnly.
"Hey, hey, hey, there's no need for that," Chen Yu quickly raised his hand to mediate. "You're all doing business, opening your doors, how can you turn away a customer? You know my financial capabilities; it's good for your family's revenue, isn't it?"
"Who needs your stinking money!" Ronnie sneered.
"You, why are you scolding yourself when you're angry?" Chen Yu clicked his tongue. "My money, doesn't it all come from you? You say my money is stinking..."
"You dare say that again!"
"I..."
"Keep a close eye on him!"
Ronnie, looking furious, walked into the auction hall.
Seeing that his plan was about to fall through, Chen Yu decided to go all out.
"You're talking nonsense, woman. You pretended to be rich and insisted on bidding against me at a 1:2 ratio. Didn't I tell you then that I had already bought it? Chen Yu said speechlessly. "You're presumptuous and jumped to conclusions, and you're still causing trouble for me. Who is at fault here!"
"I'm truly sorry~"
Ronnie, who had entered, stopped.
"Here, my word is final. I don't care whose fault it is. If I don't let you in, you can't get in!" Ronnie's eyes were filled with arrogance. "Put him on the Alderton family's blacklist!"
With that, Ronnie walked in and disappeared.
Just as Chen Yu was about to step forward.
The two Lionmen at the entrance blocked Chen Yu with fierce looks.
"Fine!" Chen Yu licked his lips, blocked as he was. "Alderton Ronnie, you'd better not let me get my hands on your birth date."
Spitting fiercely, Chen Yu retreated from the auction hall.
"Mr. Chen, please don't be too angry," the goatee said, seeing Chen Yu's displeasure. "Our city's auction isn't held only once. It's held about every six months, you..."
Six months!
Chen Yu couldn't wait that long.
He needed the legendary upgrade blueprints, the guide for camp upgrades, and he needed to integrate into the underground native's circle. Time was extremely precious to him.
How could he wait half a year!
"Sir, this is my fault; I didn't handle it well. This gold coin..." The goatee took out the gold coins. Chen Yu glanced at them and pushed them back. "It has nothing to do with you; that little girl is deliberately picking a fight with me."
"Then shall we..."
"Hey, does your city sell masks?" Chen Yu asked.
"Yes!" the goatee nodded, then understood what Chen Yu was thinking and said, "Sir, this plan is unlikely to work."
"Why?"
"Do you see anyone wearing a mask going in here? And Miss Ronnie just said you weren't allowed in. Even if you wear a mask, those two Lionmen will make you take it off." wΑp.kanshu伍.net
"Hiss!"
This is troublesome.
Chen Yu absolutely had to participate in this auction, or it would affect his development progress.
"Think about it, are there any other ways to get in?"
Chen Yu frowned.
He was absolutely unwilling to leave like this.
"A consignor can also participate in the auction," the goatee said in a low voice. "It's just that the auction is about to start, and for A Xing to be favored by the Alderton family, it would require items worth at least a thousand gold coins. Moreover, I estimate that looking at Miss Ronnie, even if you were a consignor, she would still reject you."
"Take me there!"
Chen Yu's eyes lit up.
"Sir, Miss Ronnie..." The goatee hesitated to speak. Chen Yu frowned upon hearing this, "Why do you care about her? Just take me there."
"Okay, okay~"
The goatee dared not say more and led Chen Yu to a building next to the auction hall.
At this moment—
People were still coming and going, but those who came out looked dejected, clearly annoyed at not being accepted as auction items by the Alderton Auction.
"Disperse, everyone. The auction is no longer accepting consignments."
The robed Foxman at the long table waved his hand. The people around began to retreat. Chen Yu heard this and quickly strode forward.
"Wait, give me a chance!"
Chen Yu pushed through the crowd to the long table, leaning on it with both hands, saying earnestly.
"I have something substantial here!"
