Chapter 575: The Auction Hall Was Extraordinary

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

When Vincent and Kurt walked out of the market, they were followed by countless figures in black robes.

As those individuals were dressed in black robes, they did not care that they would be discovered by Vincent and Kurt. They walked on the street casually.

When Vincent stopped, they stopped.

If Vincent continued walking, they would continue walking.

Only when they saw Vincent approaching the auction house did the black-robed figures disperse.

Kurt looked at Vincent, who wanted to continue strolling around. He could not help but try to persuade him, “Mr. Vincent, it’s too dangerous for us to continue staying here! According to my analysis, Dragon Race materials are one of the top resources in any world. As long as anyone recognizes the dragon egg in your hand, they will not let go of this opportunity to take credit from the Frost Dragon. Once they see us entering the auction house, they will immediately notify the Frost Dragon. At that time, we will be in a bad situation!”

Vincent turned to look at Kurt and said confidently, “Don’t worry, just follow me. Have you ever seen me do something I’m not sure of?”

Kurt could only nod and say in a deep voice, “No matter what Mr. Vincent wants to do, I will follow you to the death!”

Vincent patted Kurt’s shoulder lightly, smiled, and said, “Don’t be so nervous. There won’t be any danger today, and no one will kill us! Just look around today. If you have any materials that you like, tell me and I will buy them all for you!”

Kurt was not in the mood to choose the materials at that time. He took the initiative and said, “I’m still a little worried. Please let me go out and have a look! Even if Mr. Vincent has other plans, we will still be safer if I have a look around. This is to make sure we don’t make any mistakes!”

Vincent saw that Kurt was determined to go, so he nodded and said, “Well, you go and check it out. Pay more attention to those figures who have been following us from the trading market. I might be going to participate in today’s auction in a while. If you want something, you can find me in the auction hall!”

Kurt nodded cautiously and said, “Please rest assured, Mr. Vincent. I’ll pay careful attention!”

As Kurt turned around and left, Vincent became even more unscrupulous. He strolled around the auction house, playing with the dragon egg in his hands as he looked at every precious item in the display cabinet.

The auction house was much more sophisticated compared to the market where goods were sold on the street. The items that could be stored in the exhibition hall were even rarer.

Vincent soon stopped in front of a crystal window and looked at a round, pitch-black object that looked like a moldy apple.

Vincent read the introduction of the exhibit and sighed softly, “Soul patching fruit, a rare treasure from the Ghost World. It has the powerful effect of repairing a broken soul! This is indeed a good thing!”

“You must buy it!”

At the same time, an old and excited voice sounded in Vincent’s mind. It was Justin, who was hiding in Vincent’s body.

“Don’t worry, I have the same intention!” said Vincent softly.

He then continued to walk around the auction house quietly. He deliberately stayed in front of every booth for a while, showing that he was very concerned about every item.

One had to ensure that the security was top-tier especially in an auction house. If no top experts were guarding the venue, the auction house would have been robbed and turned into ruins.

Vincent walked around the hall on the first floor. Very quickly, he had a clear understanding of the defensive forces there.

There was a guard in uniform in front of every booth. Although they were from different races, they all possessed astonishing strength.

It seemed that every guard who stood in the open had the strength of a level 40 creature. This was a very powerful lineup for a world that could run amok.

What made Vincent even more surprised was that there were some guards disguised as guests hidden among the crowd that was constantly flowing through the auction house!

The hidden guards moved in an orderly manner. They were moving around in a specific area, and they were not interested in the items in the window. Therefore, Vincent was able to quickly discover their true identities.

Each guard was in charge of five to seven windows and possessed the strength of a level 50 creature or above. In Vincent’s eyes, this was already an extremely extravagant security force!

Vincent did not relax at this point. Instead, he closed his eyes and began to listen to the movements around him. As he began to turn off his other senses, his hearing quickly reached its peak and he could hear every sound in the entire auction house.

Vincent was soon able to hear various breathing and heartbeat sounds. Those sounds were very weak. It did not seem like it was coming from any guests in the auction house.

Vincent then looked carefully at the canopy above the hall, and slowly moved his gaze to the stairs leading to the second floor.

Vincent’s eyes narrowed and he sighed softly, “There is a mezzanine between the first and second floors! There are cubicles behind the walls of the hall, and there are many creatures lying in ambush there. If something unexpected happens, the entire auction house will be instantly surrounded, and no one will be able to escape! However, I don’t understand. What is the use of those creatures hiding in the middle of the upper floors?”

Not long after, Justin’s voice sounded in Vincent’s mind.

“Amazing, to be able to discover the upper floors and the middle floors. That is a place that even I cannot detect! However, I know that there are some races among the 10,000 races of the Black Hole where they are born with the ability to enhance their eyesight. It is not difficult for them to see through the middle floors and observe all the movements on the first and second floors. There are even some races with extremely powerful talents that can see through all the secrets on you!”

Vincent said with some surprise, “So there are creatures being used as surveillance cameras! It seems that they have seen my every move since I entered the hall. I am relieved now!”

Justin asked with some curiosity, “What, are you trying to trick others again? Who are you trying to trick this time?”

Vincent said with a smile, “This is a secret! Just wait and you’ll watch a good show!” He then continued to walk around the hall.

At the same time, two figures covered in black robes suddenly appeared on the stairs on the second floor.

One of them pointed at Vincent’s back and said, “Pay attention to that person. He stopped in front of every item for a moment after he came in. Even if he is rich, he should have some personal preferences and motives when he enters the auction house. Looking at how he cares so much about every item, he is either trying to steal or cause trouble!”

The other figure replied in a low voice: “Immediately investigate his identity and background!”
