In the end, there was nothing that the other VIP guests could do.
In a place like this, money was king.
As long as one had enough money, they could do whatever they wanted to do.
So as long as Ye Qing Huan had enough money to pay the amount that she bid, then there was no problem for her to make this bid. At the same time, she had the guarantee of the gold rimmed black mask, so there was no one that would doubt that she could pay this amount.
That was what it meant to be a VIP member.
Though one shouldn’t take this privilege lightly since the black market would surely take what they were due.
So if a VIP guest couldn’t pay, there would be a different side of the black market waiting for them.
At the very least, just having the gold rimmed black mask was a kind of guarantee of one’s wealth.
With it, the black market wouldn’t doubt their bids.
“Young master, you can’t. There’s still the other item that we want, you can’t bid any more than this.”
This was the young master that had sent away the maids earlier.
He was the one that had made the first bid in all of his arrogance, but in the end…his pride had been slapped by Ye Qing Huan who didn’t give him any face at all. That was why he had wanted to bid against her until the end.
The only reason that he didn’t was that his followers were doing all that they could to stop him.
The only reason that he calmed down in the end was because they mentioned the task that his family gave him before he came here.
If it wasn’t for that, he might have gone all the way to the end with Ye Qing Huan and used all of his money to bid against her.
After calming down, he slammed his fist down on the armrest of the chair that he was sitting in and said, “Find out who it was that was so rude to me. I don’t care what you have to do, but we will be taking our revenge after this.”
The followers looked like they knew that this was going to happen, so they just bowed and said, “Yes, young master.”
This was something that they were used to doing as followers of a young master like this.
So they didn’t even ask any questions as they prepared for what would come next.
Though there was already someone assigned to watch over Ye Qing Huan’s VIP room, they sent three more people to take care of this because of the young master’s orders.
At the same time, there were others who gave the same order as this young master.
Such as the one that also made a bid against this young master earlier.
Part of the reason why they had bid earlier was to provoke the young master, but there was also a part of them that wanted to take the item for themselves.
So when Ye Qing Huan made a bid like this, it also felt like they had been spited.
As such, they sent people to investigate Ye Qing Huan.
Though they didn’t send as much as the young master.
As for the rest, they were just simply curious who Ye Qing Huan was that she was able to spend this much on the flood dragon bone.
Seeing that no one else was making a bid, the host didn’t hesitate to count this bid down.
After all, this was finally a price that far surpassed what they had expected from an item.
This was a price that was almost double what they had expected since they had expected the price to peak at around ten thousand spirit stones.
They never thought that someone would suddenly bring it up to twenty thousand like this.
So they happily sold the flood dragon bone to Ye Qing Huan.
And after that, the manager once again paid a visit to Ye Qing Huan’s room.
“Young miss, here are the items that you’ve purchased.” The manager said with a wide smile on his face.
In addition to the flood dragon bone, there were also the three other items that Ye Qing Huan bought.
She just simply gave a nod and tossed out another small bag to the manager.
The manager wasn’t surprised at all by this and quickly caught it before giving a bow to Ye Qing Huan.
With that, the room cleared out, Ye Qing Huan turned to Lin Fan to say with a sweet smile, “All of these are yours.”
Lin Fan just had an awkward look on his face seeing all of these things, especially the flood dragon bone.
He didn’t know how to feel about this, but he was certainly feeling something from being attacked with money like this. It was a feeling that was very strange and there was nothing that was like this feeling…
So it really caught him off guard.
In the end, Lin Fan had no choice but to accept all of this since it was Ye Qing Huan.
But it still confused him about what she was doing…
It didn’t seem like anything that she was doing was related to the mission that they had.
Still, there was quite a bit of time before the auction was over, so he could wait to see what she was up to.
Lin Fan didn’t think that Ye Qing Huan would come to this place for no reason…
After that one special item, there were several other items that weren’t that special.
However, Ye Qing Huan dominated the bidding process by making the first bid every time.
It was as if she was set on taking every item that was here, which put bitter looks on the faces of the crowd down below. At the same time, the staff members also started showing bitter looks once more as she kept doing this.
The expressions of the staff members had looked a bit better after the bidding for that one special item, but their mood dipped once more seeing Ye Qing Huan acting this way.
The way that she was going was causing more and more losses for them.
While this was covered in part by the special item that she bought, it didn’t mean that they could allow themselves to just keep suffering losses like this. The more losses that they suffered, the harder it would be for them to explain themselves in the end.
But the manager still didn’t do a single thing even though Ye Qing Huan was acting this way.
“Manager, at this rate, we’ll all be ‘fired’.”
The way that the word ‘fired’ was said made it clear that there was a different interpretation of this. Being fired from this black market auction wasn’t just as simple as losing a job…
There were a lot of secrets that came from working this job, which meant that there was a need to ensure that those secrets weren’t revealed after they quit the job.
The best way to ensure that was…death.
Death was the best way to ensure that lips stayed sealed forever.
That was what they were afraid of.
However, the manager was still firm on his decision.
“No, we’re not going to do anything. I have already reported this matter to the higher ups and they will take care of it. From now on, this matter doesn’t have anything to do with us.”
All of them were surprised to hear this, but they had grim looks on their faces.
Seeing this, the manager simply gave a snort and then released his aura to suppress all of the staff members around him.
They all couldn’t help taking a step back when they felt this aura.
There was a reason why the manager had his position.
It wasn’t just because of the way that he did his job, but also because of the power that he wielded. After all, this was a world where power reigned supreme, so without the power to back him up, it wasn’t as if he would be able to keep this position of his.
So naturally he would be able to suppress them if they ever wanted to go against him.
In the end, the staff members had no choice but to accept the decision of the manager.
Once they were all gone, the manager gave a sigh before saying, “I hope that this will turn out without any big problems…”
There was a tone of worry that was in his voice as he said this.
Even though he showed a determined and confident look, there was a part of him that was very worried about all of this.
After all, he had no idea what was even happening right now.
Ye Qing Huan just kept bidding for everything that came out.
Even the next two special items were all taken by her.
She didn’t care at all about offending those people that were in the other VIP rooms as she just doubled the price of whatever they were bidding on.
Every time she did this, it was as if she was bidding on this thing for Lin Fan.
Lin Fan was confused, but he could guess that she was just using him as an excuse to bid on these items.
Though he just couldn’t understand why she was doing all of this.
As time passed, there was more and more hostility that was shot in their direction, but no one seemed to do anything about it.
“This is our final item for the day.”
