In fact, it's not that Uncle Guang can't see Ma Tao, it's just that there are hundreds of people gathered in the entire auction house at this time. Under the crowds, it is not that easy to seriously find someone, not to mention that Uncle Guang didn't expect that. Meet Ma Tao here.
The moment he was confirmed to be Uncle Guang, Ma Tao was so horrified that he stood up from his seat, but then he thought something was wrong and quickly sat back down, because his movements were so quick that others looked like he was here. I was tired of sitting on the hard stone chair and wanted to get up and change into a more comfortable position.
Let’s not say why Uncle Guang appeared here inexplicably. Standing up like this will definitely attract the attention of interested people. Being noticed will make people remember it. After being remembered, it will be easy to do anything. It’s hard to deal with. The best way to save Uncle Guang right now is to pay for him and then slowly and carefully ask what happened? Uncle Guang shouldn't be living in seclusion with those old men who have lost their children in the valley over in Seoul. Why is he here? He is here, so where are those poor old people?
"What’s wrong with you?"
The sister next to him was the closest to Ma Tao. Ma Tao had been watching the auction carelessly. When he suddenly got up, his sister was the first to notice it. Seeing his expression was different, she asked him gently. one sentence
"What did you see?"
Although Ma Tao's movements were not particularly large and his concealment was timely, Gao Han still noticed something was wrong with Ma Tao's expression at this time and asked accordingly.
"I'm going to buy the sixth middle-aged man on the left in a moment. No matter what, I have to buy him."
Ma Tao's eyes were fixed on Uncle Guang, and everyone could hear the unquestioning tone in his voice.
"Which one is it?"
Gao Han knew that Ma Tao was not usually a joking person, and if he got serious at this time, he would definitely take some action, otherwise it wouldn't happen.
"Is he the tall, thin man with the Chinese character face and small eyes?"
My sister also saw Uncle Guang, but she was not sure whether what she saw was the same person as what Ma Tao saw.
"That's right"
Ma Tao nodded and replied.
"Why buy him? Doesn't he look good?"
Xiao Jinzi looked at Uncle Guang who looked a little stunned and said.
"Don't worry about so much. I know that person and I must save him."
At this time, the auction of white shirts has reached the fourth one, and there are only two of them, Uncle Guang. Fortunately, the competition is not very fierce. The price of middle-aged live bait like them is generally between 50-100G. Until now, there is no auction. Over 100G, Ma Tao squinted his eyes, and most of his heart dropped.
"Looks like I need to act."
Gao Han glanced at Ma Tao and the tall, thin middle-aged man with small eyes, and blinked his charming almond-shaped eyes. Although he didn't know why Ma Tao had to save him, he definitely couldn't do something bad. , it only saves one person, and it doesn’t cost much.
The price gap of live bait slaves is quite large. The cheapest live bait can even be as low as 1G, which can buy a life or death, while the most expensive one can be as high as tens of thousands of G, which can even buy a large tank. Bidding also hides some shady things. For example, there is something at the auction that A likes very much, but A is afraid of being bought by B and C, so A arranges for people to compete with him, creating a tit-for-tat relationship. With fierce momentum and no one competing with you, it is most convenient for you to start by yourself. If you have your own opponents competing with you, you can also withdraw directly. If you withdraw, then your opponents will naturally not continue to compete with you. This is a way to advance or retreat. In this way, those who are against him, those who are willing to buy, and those who are more powerful than himself will not be willing to get involved. In this way, A can bid for this piece of his own. Although you spend the same money on something you like very much, you can virtually avoid many opponents. This kind of trick is generally used to compete in bidding for particularly good things.
Soon we arrived at Uncle Guang.
"The next one is a reclusive person. It is said that he is a cook. He was wearing a chef's hat at the time. What kind of skills are he? We can only wait for the big boss to buy it back and test it himself. The starting price is 30G, and each increase must not be less than 10G. "
The smile on the white shirt's face almost froze. He had been smiling professionally for almost an hour, but the auction was still going on and business had to be done.
"100G"
Ma Tao spoke immediately and raised the price to almost the highest point of all live bait auction prices currently. His purpose was to show his determination to win.
Buying a middle-aged man who looked quite thin at such a high price, people in the auction room immediately started whispering to each other. There was a lot of discussion for a while, and no one understood why Ma Tao paid such a high price. Although he is a chef, But that's all.
Although Uncle Guang's mouth was sealed with tape, his ears and eyes were free. When he heard that he was called such a price, his apparently dull eyes flashed with a gleam of surprise, and he escaped from the sound. Looking in the direction, he met Ma Tao's eyes in mid-air. He immediately became energetic and wanted to say something, but his mouth was sealed with tape and he couldn't open it at all. He could only make a whining sound.
"The warrior over there bids 100G. It's 100G. Is there anything higher than 100G? If not, this reclusive cook belongs to that warrior."
The white shirt was very happy. The price of 100G was enough to make back the original investment and profit, and the wrinkles on his face were all piled up.
"100G once! 100G twice! Twice!"
The white shirt pointed at Uncle Guang, who was being guarded by the guards, and shouted loudly.
At this moment, a heavily armed guard suddenly ran up to the auction platform and came directly in front of Bai Shirt. Then he leaned over and said something in his ear. Bai Shirt glanced at a piece on the right side of the auction house. The gray-white glass nodded. Seeing that he understood, the guard turned around and ran away again.
"I just got the news that someone is bidding 200G"
After the guard left, the white shirt immediately shouted loudly, and there was another noise in the venue. It was not because the 200G was expensive. Anyone who could come here had at least a thousand G of expenses on him. No one was short of it. This 200G, I just think it is unbelievable to use this money to compete for a cook who has no fighting ability. The only possibility is that the two buyers may know each other, and they may have some hatred to deliberately cause trouble.
What are you doing?
Ma Tao had a bad premonition since the guard in the white shirt was talking in his ear. Now it was fulfilled and he quickly glanced at Gao Han.
Gao Han, who had Sister R between him, ignored him and lazily said to the auction table, "210G"
"220"
As soon as Gao Han's voice fell, Ma Tao's plain voice sounded, and he immediately took back the initiative again.
He wanted to test whether the guy who was competing with him had a grudge against him and was deliberately trying to mess with him. But he and his team were new here and had never had any grudges with anyone. Is it possible? Is it the one named Yan?
Thinking of this, Ma Tao immediately became angry. You almost killed Sister Han and we haven't settled the score with you yet. What kind of trouble are you going to do today?
"It's 220G! Is there anything else..."
Before the white shirt finished speaking, the guard who ran over before actually ran over again. No need to guess, the price came again.
Ma Tao stared at the guard fiercely, wishing he could run over and kill the guard directly. The one who could mobilize the guards to send messages and do it so mysteriously must be the one named Yan. He didn't run away.
Sure enough, as soon as the guard turned around and put on his white shirt, he shouted loudly, "250G! Now this reclusive cook is worth 250G! Is there anything higher than 250G?"
As he spoke, Bai Shirt glanced at Ma Tao and the others intentionally or unintentionally.
"Fuck you, you are deliberately trying to make things difficult for us. What bastard is hiding and teasing us?"
Even Xiao Jinzi could tell that someone was deliberately trying to make a point, but why did this person jump out when his group was choosing to bid? Why didn't he participate before?
"I give up……"
Ma Tao gritted his teeth and finally sat back on his seat angrily.
"250G twice!"
The white shirt's shout sounded again like a reminder.
"300G!"
When Xiao Jinzi saw Ma Tao sit down, he stood up and directly increased the price by 50G to 300. This price was enough to buy a young and beautiful female slave or a man with some fighting ability. Buying such a The useless middle-aged chef is becoming more and more interesting.
Soon, the guard came over again, and then followed the old rules and said a few words into the ear of the white shirt, and the price became 350G.
The expression on Ma Tao's face changed and he glanced at Gao Han. Both of them had a confused look on their faces.
how so?
At first, Ma Tao thought that the other party knew him or had some estrangement, so he preconceivedly regarded the other party as a competitor. However, Ma Tao had given up and the other party was still increasing the price for a small amount of gold. This was obviously not against him. Is it possible? Could it be that he also has a grudge against Xiao Jinzi? In other words, the other party knows them?
Thinking of this, Ma Tao stretched out his hand to summon Little Carrot, who was watching curiously behind him, and quietly told him to go behind Gao Han to increase the price.
He did as he was told and quickly ran behind Gao Han's chair. Then he glanced at Ma Tao and shouted "360G" when he saw him nodding.
Maybe it was a little timid and a little curious. Little Carrot's voice was not loud, even a little small, and he didn't dare to increase the price. He just raised the minimum standard of 10 G. But that's what the white shirt was for, and he immediately heard it.
Everyone's eyes turned to the other side again. Soon, the guard came to the stage again, and the price reached 400G.
Ma Tao and others were all confused. What is going on? The other party is obviously determined to win against Uncle Guang. Is this a fight to the end?
But this time Ma Tao noticed a problem. Not only did he notice it, Gao Han also obviously noticed it, that is, when the white shirt was connecting with the guard, he would always glance at the huge gray-white glass on the right intentionally or unintentionally.
Ma Tao followed his gaze and saw that there was nothing on the wall on the right except the four to five meter large piece of glass. He didn't know why the white shirt wanted to look at this thing.
Looking at the huge gray-white floor-to-ceiling glass, Ma Tao suddenly felt familiar. Then his eyes opened wider and wider, and he suddenly thought of where he had seen glass of this color.
VIP box in the arena!
That's right!
The bulletproof glass in the arena room that Ma Tao had visited before looked like this color from the outside, but it was indeed transparent from the inside. As soon as the answer came out, Ma Tao immediately realized that the gray-white floor-to-ceiling glass There is definitely a secret room in the back. That's right. How could I be so stupid? I didn't realize that there must be some hidden small boxes in places like auctions for those who have status or need to hide. Since there are such small boxes. There must be more than just one. Ma Tao looked around again and immediately discovered that there were three floor-to-ceiling glass windows of the same size in the entire auction room. They were on the left and right sides of the auction table and directly opposite the auction table. That is directly behind the entire auction house, but Ma Tao did not see the door that can enter these boxes, so the entrance must be hidden.
After understanding this, Ma Tao knew that the person who increased the price with him must be hidden behind that gray-white bulletproof glass. Who could it be?
Gao Han saw that Ma Tao suddenly fell into deep thought, but the auction was still going on, and he had already been shouted at 400G for the second time. After shouting once, the uncle Ma Tao wanted to save was about to be taken away, and he hurriedly coughed. A sound to remind him.
Gao Han had never been to the arena, so naturally he didn't know what was going on behind the gray-white glass.
Awakened by Gao Han's shout, Ma Tao immediately came back to his senses. When he heard the words "400G" in the white shirt for the second time, his heart suddenly burst into flames.
As the saying goes, the Clay Bodhisattva still has three parts of fire nature, let alone a human being. Ma Tao also risked his life. Uncle Guang on the auction stage was saved today. No one could stop him. He didn't care what he just said at the moment. In order to quit or something, he stood up and just shouted.
"500G!"
At this point, I can't care about anything at all, but I want to see who is insisting on going against me today. Ma Tao roared with anger, and he was quite confident. In addition, Ma Tao was already standing at this time. When he stood up, he stood out from the crowd and instantly became the focus of the audience.
Although 500G is not much, everyone here can afford it, but today's incident is quite interesting. It is obviously a fight between two groups of people. People who watch the excitement will never find the excitement not enough, and even wish that the excitement would be better. Now, the protagonist of one party has appeared, and the character of the other party has not yet appeared. There is still much excitement to behold.
In the secret box of the auction house, when Su Lanxi, who was dressed in black gauze, saw the face of the man standing up clearly, the expression on his face immediately became stiff. Not to mention the mixed feelings in his heart, there was a trace of joy, and Some anger.
Originally, Su Lanyu planned to come to this auction to relax. Although the area of the Shura Palace black market was quite large, there were no entertainment items at all. Apart from blood and violence, there were only tobacco and alcohol. There was really not much that could interest her. There are many, so this auction can still be a lively one, but I didn't expect that Uncle Guang would be included in today's auction.
Su Lanyu naturally knew Uncle Guang, and also received Uncle Guang's warm hospitality in the small village secluded in the mountains. From the moment he saw Uncle Guang, Su Lanyu knew that the small village was probably gone, and something must have happened to him. Therefore, Su Lanyu had to save him, but to his surprise, someone would snatch an ordinary live bait from him, and they did it so confidently that the price was only increased by 10 G each time.
In the Shura Palace black market, this is equivalent to her own territory. Su Lanyu is not short of money. If it weren't for the fact that she didn't want to attract too much attention, she would have directly shouted out the price of 1000G, but she did not expect that the person who has been competing with her for light My uncle's guy turned out to be Ma Tao. Meeting two acquaintances here at once was a joy that couldn't be happier. However, one became the lowest live bait slave, and the other was Su Lanyu really didn't know whether he should cry or laugh for the bastard who harmed his sister.
In the room, the guard who had been delivering messages to him was standing straight to the side, waiting for instructions from the woman in front of the bulletproof glass window, looking straight at the area in front of him, not daring to look up at all.
This is Mr. Yan's woman. Everyone knows that Mr. Yan is obsessed with this woman to the point of madness. If he dares to be disrespectful to this woman, it is simply because he thinks his life is too long. Another reason is that this woman in black gauze A beautiful woman is so beautiful, her beauty is breathtaking, and she is so attractive to men. She is like a proud queen who will make you unable to help but prostrate yourself under her pomegranate skirt, and you are willing to do whatever you want. That attraction.
But this woman was silent now. She just stood in front of the bulletproof French window. She didn't move, and the guards didn't dare to move. The other maids in the room also lowered their heads and remained silent. That's it. , looking at the white shirt in the auction house and justifying himself there alone.
The most embarrassing thing here is this white shirt. I have announced the price of 500G three times to the whole audience, but the guard who has been coming to tell me before has not come yet. What does this mean? Could it be that the person in the VIP box gave up on his own initiative? Shouldn't it? It's only 500G, which is not money at all to her. Even a hairpin on her head costs at least 1,800G.
Time passed by, and the white shirt still didn't see the guard arriving. There was still no news about the guard inside, so he had no choice but to boldly say, "500G for the third time! It's... the deal!"
The high degree of mental stress made his verbal expression less fluent, and he actually stuttered when he said such a sentence. At the end, he wiped the unnecessary sweat on his temples with his sleeves, looking very nervous.
"Congratulations to the gentleman over there for acquiring this chef who lives in seclusion in the mountains. Please go backstage to pay."
As the white shirt stretched out his hand to signal, Ma Tao and others couldn't help but look at each other, especially Ma Tao. He had made plans to use these 10,000 G to save Uncle Guang's life, but why did the other party suddenly give up? ?
What happened?
what's the situation?
Could it be that the other party was so frightened by his aura that he did not dare to continue following because of his sudden standing up? Or is the other party planning to use some dirty tricks to deal with him and others? Or maybe the other party suddenly encountered some unexpected incident and left?
Ma Tao frowned, not understanding why his opponent suddenly stopped midway, but no matter what, he succeeded in saving Uncle Guang. At worst, the soldiers would come to stop him, and the water would come to cover him up.
After glancing at Gao Han and Sister R who were also confused, Ma Tao nodded and led everyone to get up and rush to the backstage of the auction.
In a secret box at the auction house.
Seeing Ma Tao leaving, Su Lanyu woke up from a dream. When she saw the auction ended, it was obvious that Uncle Guang had been bought by Ma Tao. Only then did she realize that she had just been thinking about something. When she turned around, she saw that the house The guards and maids inside were all standing there with their heads lowered, quietly waiting for their orders. When they turned around, Ma Tao had already stood up to leave.
Su Lanyu immediately turned around and left the box. She wanted to go to Ma Tao to ask how her sister died. She wanted to know what happened, but as she moved, all the maids who were around suddenly turned around. They took a step forward and blocked the door with their bodies.
This kind of thing obviously happens often. The movements of these maids are very unified, even the steps are consistent. After blocking the door with their bodies, all the maids are still as before, lowering their heads and saying nothing. .
"Step aside!"
Su Lanyu looked at these maids and shouted angrily.
These maids have been seriously trained like puppets. They will not cry out for pain or hunger. If these people were not flesh and blood with heartbeats and breathing, Su Lanyu would have doubted whether these were real. Humanity. ,
"I'm sorry, miss, you can't meet any outsiders. This is Mr. Yan's rule for us."
All the maids blocking the door with their bodies bent down and lowered their heads.
"Serious! Serious! Serious again! Don't I have a little freedom and a little space!!!"
Su Lanyu didn't know how many times she had heard this sentence. She even knew it by heart. Normally, she would forget about it. Now, couldn't these guys see their facial expressions? The angry Su Lanyu couldn't bear it anymore, and in a flash, He turned back and unsheathed the sharp sword, and the cold blade lay directly across the neck of the maid in the middle.
The sharp blade immediately cut a bloody mark on the maid's neck, and the wound deepened. A drop of blood slipped down the blade.
"Get away! Believe it or not, I will kill you right away!"
Su Lanyu's eyes had turned cold.
