Chapter 1490 Mysterious Bracelet
For the owner of the auction, it is no longer important who painted the magic formula on the potion bottle - what is important is that the thing was blown up under his hands, and in full view of the public. Even if you want to, there is no place to deny it.
What's more, his ability to gain a foothold in the black market relies on good reputation... But paying 50 million secret crystals in one lump sum is like bloodletting.
Anyone who does business understands that assets are not equal to liquid funds. Auctioneers have a big business, but in fact they have a lot of goods that are difficult to sell. The problem of compensation is the biggest headache for the big boss of the auction at this time. problem.
"...Did she really say that?"
After listening to the steward's report, the auction owner couldn't help but move... In the end, he chose to stand up from his chair, otherwise he would always feel very unnatural.
"Yes, boss."
The owner of the auction shook his head: "Although the items have been auctioned, they have not been officially delivered. We have no money from the buyer... The 50 million means that we will be compensated in full, which is impossible at this time."
< br>
The old steward frowned... thinking that this notoriously stingy boss was just planning to compensate for the reserve price of the auction items, right? If that were the case, that witch would definitely explode... The steward's eyes couldn't help but become weird.
"That's not what I meant!" The auction owner coughed twice in embarrassment at this time, "What I meant was to exchange items for items... Use treasures of equal value as compensation - go to the warehouse and find a few items to estimate the price. , take it out when it’s close and give it to the witch.”
The steward opened his mouth... Why did he feel like throwing an egg and returning a vegetable? How on earth did this guy come up with such stingy attention?
Valuation?
As long as something is put up for auction, there is no accurate valuation... If a piece of rags is said to be high-end, it may be sold at a high price...
"Boss, this witch lady is also in business. Isn't it easy to fool her?" The manager felt that he still needed to remind her.
But the owner of the auction said: "You think I don't know? I'm not stupid... Do I really want you to pick out the junk? You go pick out a few pieces of magic jewelry, want better quality ones, and then send us last month's Put the thing I collected in it too... That thing is a hot commodity anyway, I'm worried about what to do with it!"
"Then...Okay." The old steward thought for a while, and finally nodded and said: "I think the idea has come true. Now that the matter is over, it will be useless for the witch to make trouble...I will go and discuss it with her. .”
The owner of the auction was about to make plans, but at this moment someone from outside hurriedly walked in and sent a note, saying that it was sent by Maria.
The auction owner quickly took it over and took a look, and then his expression turned a little strange.
The old steward and the highly paid consultant in the room couldn't help but wonder, "What did she write on it?"
The owner of the auction house frowned at first, then gradually relaxed, and smiled and said: "It seems that this witch is not like the rumors, and she will fight at the slightest disagreement... Take a look. .”
The auction owner spread the note in front of the two of them, and they came over to take a look. The old steward couldn't help but be stunned after reading it, "Hey, it can still be like this..."
It turned out that Maria’s solution was written on the note: This time the work of [Legendary Witch] was finally confirmed to be fake. As for why it deceived the auction appraisal, it was entirely because the product had a very high-end label attached to it. The illusion even exceeded the ability of the auctioneer, so it deceived everyone. If it hadn't been for the auctioneer's gavel this time, it would have really caused heavy losses to both the auctioneer and the buyer... This is equivalent to Maria giving up directly. received a compensation of 50 million secret crystals.
But there are two additional requirements here. First, compensation of 8 million secret crystals. Second, the auction house must take 6% of the total profit from each subsequent auction as a deduction until the deduction of these 5 million is completed. Up to ten million.
"This...isn't she afraid that we will default on our debt?" the steward asked curiously.
"You must sign a contract..." The owner of the auction said with a wry smile: "Besides, even if you don't sign a contract, you may be able to refuse, you can escape, escape to the living world and hide, and she may not be able to find you in her life. But I can't. If I escape, what will happen to my property? What about my family? What about the business I have worked so hard for so many years? Just tell me, just do what she said...Who said this witch is just being reckless? ? It’s simply a beautiful snake! ”
The old steward nodded, and then asked: "Then do you want to go to the warehouse to order something?"
The owner of the auction thought for a moment and said: "Order, order two more and send them to the sponsor who bought the potion... The guy who can easily get 50 million secret crystals will definitely be ours in the future." Sir, hurry up! As for the other thing... well, just send it to Maria. Think of it as returning this favor. As for whether that thing is a treasure or trash in her hands, it depends on her own luck... Damn, this Maria can do it. She is so smart. If I didn't have a wife, I would definitely marry him. She! Gee, this woman actually has a good figure!”
"Hey..."
……
"What is this? Is this thing worth eight million secret crystals?" Maria couldn't help frowning, looking at what the old steward sent like an old dog: a cyan bracelet that seemed to be made of jade.
"Of course not." The old steward still had a dog-like smile on his face, "Miss Maria, the eight million secret crystals you requested are here... Please count this anonymous secret crystal card."
As the saying goes, ten birds in the forest are worth less than one in the hand... Maria put the secret crystal card away first - although the psychological gap was still huge, it was not completely unacceptable - because the old housekeeper had already said something about the bottle being engraved It has the [perishable] attribute.
Maria didn't even say anything. Judging from what she had experienced with Master Pansy... she could do it! It can definitely be done! That Master of [Seven-Colored Pansy]!
"Then what do you say about this thing?" Maria looked at the bracelet in front of her again.
The old steward suddenly foamed at the mouth and said: "This thing is a treasure that our big boss recently collected. It has a big origin! This was found in a ruins in the [Inhuman Realm]... [Inhuman Realm] I guess you know the origin of this bracelet! It’s probably Greek! Something used by the gods in the age of gods... If the secret on this bracelet can be unlocked, its value may be even higher than the value of the works of the [Legendary Witch]! Our boss sincerely wants to marry Miss Maria! You make a friend!”
"I believe you!" Maria snorted coldly, "Who doesn't know that your boss is famous for being stingy... items from the gods in the Greek mythology era? I'm afraid this is not something salvaged from a smelly ditch!"
The old steward still smiled like the spring breeze.
Maria shook her head and waved her hand rather boringly: "Okay, you go back and tell your boss that I will come to collect the money on time next month... Don't default on the bill, otherwise you will be responsible for the consequences!"
"Definitely, definitely!"
Seeing the old steward push the door open as if he was relieved... After closing the door, the third lady of the Zhong family walked out from behind the screen with a smile, walked to Maria, and stretched out her palm. .
"Come, these million secret crystals are yours." Miss Witch waved her hand boldly.
The third lady couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, "Ten percent?"
Maria shrugged and said: "Next month I will pay you one million after collecting the bill... divided into five times."
The third young lady could only shake her head. She would not lower herself by pursuing such an issue... She glanced at the bracelet on the table and picked it up casually.
Maria quickly said in a high voice: "This thing is worth at least four...three million! Three million! You heard it too, this is something from the gods of the Greek pantheon!"
The third lady sneered and threw the bracelet back... The witch girl could only smile and said: "Give it to you, give it to you... Well, give it to the vampire lady, just think of it as a thank you gift from last time!"
Only then did Zhong Luoyue slowly take the bracelet over.
She had no interest in this thing, but suddenly remembered that Elizabeth seemed to be very interested in the era of Greek mythology, so she planned to bring it to her... But she came out empty-handed tonight, wearing a dress, and there was no place to hide anything on her body. , so he simply put the bracelet on his wrist.
"This is my messenger number in the [Inhuman Realm]." Maria gave a badge at this time, and then wrote a note: "This is the phone number in the real world... make friends?"
The third lady smiled and even came over... Before leaving, she suddenly looked back at Maria, smiled mysteriously and said: "You won't suffer any loss if you make friends with me... Elizabeth, now is the master of Glory Tower. ”
The door was still closed, but Maria couldn't help but become a little confused, thinking about Zhong Luoyue's last words... Master of Huiyao Tower, Master of Huiyao Tower... huh?
Who is Huiyao?
"F*CK!"
"The first tower master of the Magician Association, the first person in the [Inhuman Realm], Hui Yao!!"
The witch lady jumped up suddenly. At this moment, she almost wanted to lift up her skirt and chase her out. She could directly shove five million secret crystals into Zhong Luoyue. She could do it upside down!
……
"Yue, what are you carrying on your hand?"
On the carriage returning to the association headquarters, the noble master Fantas quickly noticed the strange bracelet on the third lady's wrist, and he suddenly became curious.
Zhong Luoyue turned her eyes and said half truthfully: "This bracelet seems to be a treasure prepared for the next auction... When I went out to the bathroom, I met an acquaintance who gave it to me."
Things from the auction, acquaintances... This made the noble master Fantas easily think of something - his expression changed imperceptibly, and then he smiled and said: "This bracelet looks simple and elegant, it must be very precious. , the person who gave the gift was thoughtful.”
The third lady smiled and nodded, "It's a testimony of friendship."
Fantas's pupils shrank slightly, and then his smile became even brighter, "Really... But I think Yue, you are more suitable to wear a necklace - this magic necklace, in addition to being made of rubies, also has several defensive techniques. Style is perfect for a beauty like you.”
It was probably prepared early in the morning... Fantas held out a box with both hands.
"So beautiful."
It is indeed beautiful. This unique design can make even a kid like Zhong Luoyue, who is used to seeing jewelry, feel a little moved.
"Can I personally bring it for you?" Fantas said with burning eyes at this time.
"You really think you are a gentleman, Fantas." The third lady's expression remained unchanged. Finally, she slowly lifted up her long hair behind her and turned around, but she seemed to block her own hair with a folding fan casually. Let's just put some meat on the chest, she thought to herself.
Zhong Luoyue has always asked herself, after becoming a [non-human], what capital does she have?
What she has... is the only capital a woman has.
Fantas suddenly smiled proudly. He didn't mind Zhong Luoyue's little defensive move... The key is to close the distance. As long as the distance is constant, the prey will naturally not be able to escape - don't worry, Wen Shui He understands the art of boiling frogs.
But just as he picked up the necklace and was about to put it on Zhong Luoyue, the carriage suddenly shook violently, and then with a loud noise, the carriage was blown up into the sky!
……
Fantas could feel the fluctuations of magic power. The moment the carriage exploded, he activated the defense of the necklace in time so that he was not injured. However, he was also affected by the impact of the explosion and was thrown directly more than ten meters away... Zhong Luoyue It's not far away from him.
"Yue! Are you okay?"
"No...just a little dizzy...Who is this?!"
On the blue-black stone road, I saw a guy wearing a black Dou Po standing in the air... probably relying on the ability of some kind of magic or prop, male.
He looked down with the cold eyes hidden under the mask, sizing up Fantas and Zhong Luoyue... The next moment, he rushed directly towards Zhong Luoyue without any warning.
After all, Zhong Luoyue had lived in the army for a period of time, and was much calmer than the average rich girl. At this time, she was panicking but not panicking. Facing the attack of the man in black robe, she instantly aroused her immature vampire power. His strength suddenly increased and he jumped up, barely avoiding the sneak attack of the man in black robe.
"Vampire?" The man in black robe seemed a little surprised, and then whispered: "Where did the newborn vampire come from... [Pluto] is not something that your thirteen clans can get their hands on."
"What?" The third lady said that she didn't understand what the other party was saying at all.
But at this time, Fantas' bodyguards who had heard the news had arrived quickly, and surrounded the man in black robes as quickly as possible - not only these bodyguards, Fantas who was accompanying him this time The teacher and the senior secret pharmacist of the association were also alarmed.
"I am Vicky, the senior secret pharmacist of the Magicians Association! Who are you to dare to openly attack people from the Magicians Association?" Fantas' teacher shouted sharply at this time.
The man in black robe looked around, and finally took a deep look at Zhong Luoyue, then suddenly rushed into the sky, "People from the Magician Association, go back and tell your Glory Tower Master... we will not let him go. He’s a thief! God’s Domain... we will take it back!”
The man in black robe disappeared into the night sky, leaving everyone with blank faces.
Zhong Luoyue looked at the direction in which the mysterious black-robed man disappeared, and intuitively felt that the man seemed to be coming towards her... the thing on her hand - she subconsciously wanted to take off the bracelet on her hand, but at this time this strange The bracelet can't be taken off no matter what. She couldn't help but think of what the mysterious black-robed man said to her... [Pluto]? Is it possible that this bracelet is really a treasure?
