William glanced at the woman and chuckled. “The name Sophia means wisdom, but this lady doesn’t look like a wise woman. Do you want to look smarter with that name?”
Sophia looked unhappy. “Hey, old man, how can you speak like that?”
Merrick laughed. “Mr. Owen is still so humorous as usual. Please continue singing. See you later.”
He led Sophia to leave.
William felt worried as favonovel.com said, “Merrick must not come here for any good deed. Is favonovel.com also coming for the Asclepius Needles?”
Thomas remained silent at the side. Based on the previous investigation, if his guess was not wrong, the Dawson family should be secretly carrying out human organ trafficking. They were temporarily out of stock because they were investigated by the police previously. The Dawson family had come to South City this time, and they might be aiming for the human organs in the underground market if there were any.
The three of them also did not intend to sing. They just patiently waited.
Soon, it was time for the auction.
The big screen of the KTV private room was suddenly cut off, and a sentence appeared. [Please head to the lobby on the third floor.]
The words appeared for half a minute before it restored the original page.
“It looks like the screen here can be remotely controlled.” William dusted off his shirt and stood up. “Let’s go. The auction is starting soon.”
The three of them left the private room one after another, and they got up to the lobby on the third floor along the staircase. At this time, many rich people gathered in the lobby. All of them were dressed decently, and they looked like rich people.
A while later, the sculpture opposite the lobby separated into two halves, and the wall also slowly split. Shortly after, a wide tunnel appeared!
Various famous paintings were hung on both sides of the tunnel, and the scenery was nice.
A staff member moved forward and said, “The auction will be starting soon. Please enter the venue from here.”
William clicked his tongue in surprise as favonovel.com saw. “Water Cloud is so rich. The design of this machine is quite interesting.”
The crowds calmly entered the tunnel. After they walked through the tunnel, rows of seats were arranged at the end of the tunnel, like it was a set-up of a cinema. Opposite it was a wide stage. At this time, a red curtain was not lifted up yet. There was no restriction on the seats. Thomas and the other two people found the seats at the corner, while Merrick brought Sophia to sit one row in front of them. After everyone was seated, the curtain slowly lifted.
The host held a microphone and stood on the stage. He gently coughed, tested the microphone, and started his speech for the auction today.
“Ladies and gentlemen, good afternoon. I’m the host for this auction. Today, let me bring you a series of exquisite auction items. I hope you’ll like it. Before the auction officially starts, please be informed that there is a small screen on the left. If you insert your VIP card, you can check through all the items of this auction and the order of them being auctioned.”
“Now, you have 15 minutes to check through them. Before the auction starts, you can decide what you want to bid on.”
“And… Time starts now…”
Everyone took out their VIP cards and inserted them into the socket before they selected an item number and viewed it.
William also inserted the VIP card. A menu popped out from the small screen. There were serial numbers, names, photos, and the summarized introduction of the items.
