My Wife Act Differently Behind Me novel Chapter 185

As if remembering what happened back then, a smile crept across Nicole's face. She helped Zeke get down from the bike and then led him forward.

Zeke looked at the desert in front of him, not knowing why Nicole had brought him here. Nicole saw his doubts and explained, "We can only go on foot from here onward."

She brought Zeke and walked for about five minutes, and a massive white architecture appeared in front of them. The style of the building was superficially similar to that of the castle, but it looked cooler overall, and the shape of it resembled the king of the chess pieces, looking quite imaginative.

There were two guards at the gate. When the guards saw them, they held out their hands to stop them from going forward. Nicole took out the red piece of paper and handed it to them with a straight face, then shot Zeke a look, reminding him to do the same. Zeke came to his senses and took the red gilded paper out of his pocket.

As soon as the guards saw the paper, they became more respectful instantly. "Please come in. The Gold Session welcomes you."

Zeke looked at what happened with puzzlement. But he quickly came out of his daze and followed Nicole when Nicole walked in calmly.

One of the guards took the two of them inside, the ground floor of which was massive with low-key but luxurious decoration. Zeke thought the guard would take them to go upstairs. After all, the building looked tall on the outside. But he was wrong. The guard led them to an elevator, and then they took the elevator all the way down. The moment the elevator door opened, the heat had gone, and cool gentle wind greeted them on their faces.

'This should be deep underground,' Zeke thought.

When the elevator door was fully open, Zeke looked at the scene in front of him with his mouth agape; it was a massive auction house.

At this time, the auction hall was packed. People were wearing a very special masks on their faces, and no one turned their heads to look at them when the elevator door opened. Coming down from the elevator were all noble guests of the auction house. Those who stayed on the first and second floors were not qualified to look back at these people.

Nicole took a baseball cap out of nowhere and put it on Zeke's head. Like herself, the brim was lowered.

The guard led them through a special passage directly to the second floor of the auction house, all the way to the end of the passage before they stopped. The guard looked back at Nicole and ushered them to enter respectfully. "Please."

Zeke followed Nicole inside. There was a massive electronic screen, two tightly pulled red curtains next to it, and some different metal barcodes in front of the electronic screen, with different numbers written on them, and many gold and silver buttons around.

Seeing the doubts on Zeke's face, the guard explained, "The box has a real-time broadcast of the auction. You can see the item being auctioned in real-time. Of course, if you are not convinced enough, you can always draw open the curtain to see with your own eyes. Your position is almost next to the auction table, so you can see things clearly. I hope you have a great time."

Nicole nodded gently. The guard apparently knew who was in charge here and knew what Nicole thought. So, he quickly left.

Zeke was excited and wanted to ask questions, but Nicole gave him a quiet gesture. She took her laptop out of the bag, quickly connected it to an ethernet port in the box, and said, "I'm going to intercept the signal of this box in a moment. Feel free to do whatever you want, but don't disturb me."

She then quickly got into a working mode, hitting the keyboard gently and then quietly waiting for when the signal of the auction house was connected.
