The Supreme God of Martial Arts novel Chapter 280

Anyway, if we can find a couple of treasures in the auction, it will be a worthwhile trip for us."

The five men entered inside.

...

Inside room 63 of the Ganges Auction House, Austin was busy in his meditation and his eyes were closed. He had been sitting like this for a while now and the maidservant was angry and resentful at his nonchalant manner. He had been acting like a monk or a hermit.

'Damn! What kind of guest am I stuck with? Is he a eunuch or something? Why the hell isn't he reacting to all my seduction efforts?' She thought furiously.

The maidservants in the VIP area were officially paid to serve the guests. But the tips they received far outweighed their salaries if they could satisfy those guests through sex.

As the ticket to enter the VIP area of the auction house could only be afforded by the very rich, the maids were sure to receive highly generous rewards for their efforts.

But this particular maid hadn't expected that she would encounter a guest that day who was completely oblivious to her honey-trap.

Ding-dong! Ding-dong!

The bell rang out through the hall of the auction house and

its resounding tinkling sound could be heard across the whole building, which was extremely large in size. The hubbub of the crowd gradually waned and gave way to a calm and anxious silence. Everyone turned their eyes towards the center of the hall where a crystal platform was situated. Their gazes were filled with anticipation and enthusiasm.

"Ho ho ho! Hello, everyone! I am sure that you all are getting impatient. So, I will skip the cliched opening lines and start the auction directly."

A grey-haired old man announced as he walked to the center of the stage. There was a crystal desk situated before. His eyes ran down the hall which was packed with a dense crowd, and a wide smile spread across his face.

Then he rested his eyes on the VIP area for a few seconds and looked away again.

His sounds still reverberated through the hall.

As an experienced auctioneer, he knew clearly what the guests really wanted to see and hear and was aware of what they didn't like. Therefore, he cut off the crap of greetings and got straight to the point.

As it turned out, a huge round of applause burst out on his first dialogue only. The old man had won the crowd's hearts with his straight-forward manner.

Several guests in the VIP area also nodded with smiles on their faces. They were all extremely rich and had several thousand vital energy crystals tucked away.

"Gentlemen! This is an auction by the Ganges Auction House. I assure you that you will not be disappointed today."

The old man clapped his hands, and announced, "Now I declare, the auction of the Ganges Auction House, open!

As soon as the old man was finished, dazzling lights suddenly burst out from the huge crystal platform, as if the dramatic effort was a part of his dialogue too.

After a long while, the harsh glare gradually disappeared. A blue colored sword, long in size and glittering coldly under the harsh stage lighting, slowly rose up from the table that lay before the old man. The aura that surrounded this sword sent shivers down some people's spines. It must have been an extraordinary sword.
