The old ghost keeps the secret

The dominance of the Heavens Chosen Alliance made everyone afraid to look, fearing that they would be the next ones targeted.

The members of the Heavens Chosen Alliance sat in their seats, crossing their legs.

Some sat there chatting, while others began to sing.

At this moment, it was as if they were in their own home.

At ten past eight, another group of people walked over.

There were twenty-five of them in total; each person's Face bore an air of righteousness, yet their bodies were filled with Killing Intent.

The powerful Aura coming from the twenty-five people made others afraid to meet their gaze.

"These are people from the Law Enforcement Alliance, twenty-five of their department heads," Xiao Fan said in a low voice.

Ye Chen could see that all twenty-five individuals wore a badge, which was enough to indicate their status.

"Ah, Brother Zhou! Long time no see!" one member of the Heavens Chosen Alliance greeted with a smile.

A burly man from the Law Enforcement Alliance also smiled and said, "Brother Biao, long time no see! How have you been lately?"

The one named Biao was a short man, about 1.6 meters tall, though his build was quite sturdy.

When he smiled, his eyes were almost squinted into slits.

After the two finished greeting each other, the members of the Law Enforcement Alliance sat in the front row.

As expected, the relationship between the two was quite good.

"The reason the Law Enforcement Alliance gives so much Face to the Heavens Chosen Alliance is, first, because the people of the Heavens Chosen Alliance are strong, and second, because there are many unique individuals within the Heavens Chosen Alliance whose pets possess unique abilities. Sometimes, the Law Enforcement Alliance also needs the help of the Heavens Chosen Alliance. Most crucially, the leader of the Heavens Chosen Alliance was previously a high-ranking member of the Law Enforcement Alliance before leaving to create the Heavens Chosen Alliance."

Xiao Fan kept his gaze forward, speaking to Ye Chen in an extremely faint voice.

Ye Chen nodded, indicating he understood.

He truly hadn't expected that there was such a complex side to their relationship.

"Then, how is the strength of the Heavens Chosen Alliance leader?"

Xiao Fan shook his head: "I don't know, and no one knows. Even if someone does know, others don't know who that person is."

Xiao Fan said a mouthful, like a tongue twister.

However, Ye Chen still understood.

In the blink of an eye, the time had reached eight-thirty.

With a hum! The lights in the front row turned on, shining onto the stage.

A group of figures walked out. Emerging were some young women with graceful figures, wearing neat outfits.

These young women slowly ran to the center of the stage and, as the music began to play, started to dance gracefully.

The crowd quieted down, appreciating the dance on stage.

The dance lasted for a full ten minutes before stopping.

The lights gathered at the entrance, and a man wearing a black robe walked out. It was Old Ghost.

Behind Old Ghost followed many young women, who looked like staff members of the Shenzhou Chamber of Commerce.

Old Ghost stood in the center of the stage, where there was a table with a hammer on it.

Many of the women held an item in their hands, standing straight behind Old Ghost.

"The items those women are holding are all auction lots. Some of them were provided by people coming to auction, but most are items from the Shenzhou Chamber of Commerce itself," Xiao Fan explained to Ye Chen.

It could be said that Xiao Fan was a very qualified commentator; without waiting for Ye Chen to ask, Xiao Fan would state it directly.

Old Ghost came up and exchanged a few pleasantries before getting to the main point. But before that, Old Ghost kept them in suspense for a moment.

"Everyone, today's auction will only exceed your imagination. I presume everyone came today because there is something you want. I, Old Ghost, guarantee here that no matter what item you want, as long as it is Heaven Rank, we can satisfy you. As long as you can afford the price, we can let you obtain it!"

Old Ghost said with great confidence. As soon as these words were spoken, the scene erupted in an uproar!

"Heh, this Shenzhou Chamber of Commerce is truly confident! To be able to say such big words. The item I need is the top-tier Heaven Rank Materials, the five elements divine stone. Can you give it to me? Really!"

"Haha, I'll see how he cleans up this mess in a moment!"

"Could it really exist?"

"Not necessarily; with such a large power like the Shenzhou Chamber of Commerce, there's no reason for them to brag!"

Some people believed it, while others did not; of course, most remained skeptical.

A person from the Law Enforcement Alliance sitting in the very front stroked his chin and frowned, saying: "This Old Ghost has always been steady. What's going on today? Why has he started talking big!"

"Perhaps they really have it?" One-Eye chuckled.

Old Ghost heard everyone's words. Facing the disdain and suspicion of the crowd, the smile on Old Ghost's Face grew even thicker!

"Today, I will become a legend in the auction world!"

Old Ghost chuckled: "Alright everyone, without further ado, next, let us welcome our first auction item, the fire dragon fruit! A fire-attribute growth consumable. After consuming it, one can increase attack power by one percent, with a chance to directly increase it by five percent! Starting bid is one hundred thousand, each increment must not be less than ten thousand!"

A young woman, holding a fire-red fruit in her hands, walked up step by step, moving with a Yaorao gait and swaying her hips.

"fire dragon fruit? It's useless." Ye Chen thought to himself. Although this fire dragon fruit did indeed increase attack power, it had a limit; after consuming ten, it would have no effect.

It was just relatively difficult to obtain.

Moreover, it was something that gamblers liked. If all ten increased by five percent, that would be fifty percent! It would be very Heaven-Defying.

But that possibility was no less than you going to buy a lottery ticket, getting your head caught in the door when closing it, stepping in dog shit when you go out, hitting all green lights on the road, winning the first prize in the lottery, your first love calling you to say she wants to marry you, and your attending physician telling you that your cancer was a misdiagnosis!

"Brother Ye Chen, won't you try? After all, it's useful for a pill master like you!" Xiao Fan smiled.

"Forget it, leave this kind of thing to others; I don't really like it."

"Haha! Alright then, let's watch the show!" Xiao Fan smiled.

"One hundred and ten thousand gold coins!"

"One hundred and twenty thousand!"

"I bid one hundred and fifty thousand!"

Although Ye Chen didn't need it, there were plenty of people who did! After all, there are gamblers at any time!

"I bid one hundred and eighty thousand!"

In the end, the fire dragon fruit was auctioned off to someone for two hundred and fifty thousand.

Old Ghost was quite satisfied with this price; after all, when he acquired this fire dragon fruit, he had only spent one hundred and fifty thousand gold coins.

"The second item is a good one! It is called the Three Saints Stone, an Earth Rank enchantment material. After enchanting, it can increase attack power by three percent, defense by three percent, and movement speed by three percent! It is an excellent enchantment material. The starting bid is three hundred thousand gold coins!"

A golden stone was brought up by a young woman. Under the illumination of the lights, the entire stone emitted a dazzling golden light.

"Three hundred and fifty thousand!"

Someone shouted immediately as soon as it was brought up!

A three percent bonus was already quite high and very good for an enchantment material!

After all, a shadow stone or a wind-travel stone only increases it by 0.5 percent, and there are restrictions on the targets they can be used on.

This Three Saints Stone has no restrictions at all!
