Chapter 638: Collateral
It is under such a premise that the appearance of the life crystal makes everyone's hearts itch and scratch, and the official of the Western Alliance only resisted for a short time before compromise. The www.biquge.info Ximeng issued a serious protest to the Huameng side, protesting against the Huameng's behavior of not inviting them to participate in the auction. The diplomatic rhetoric is very high-sounding, they say that the life crystal and the metamorphosis belong to all mankind, and the life crystal is certainly obtained by Huameng, but since the auction is held, Ximeng should also be eligible to participate.
Huameng's reply was more ingenious, and the official reply given by Huameng was that because Ximeng did not approve of Huameng's reconnaissance of the marauders, it tacitly agreed that the life crystal obtained by Huameng was not real, and in order to avoid disputes, Ximeng did not invite Ximeng.
The war of words between the two sides began, but as the time for the auction got closer and closer, the originally tough attitude of the Western League side gradually softened. After all, those in power cannot afford to be unable to participate in the auction. You know, all politicians have the support of the consortium behind them, and if those hidden forces give up their support for them, then they are nothing, let alone re-elected.
Therefore, in the end, the Western League had to compromise with the Huameng, acknowledging the results of the Huameng's reconnaissance of the plundering of Samsung, and at the same time, it also made compromises in some aspects. However, even so, they paid a greater price to be allowed to participate in this auction.
The collateral of each participating party on the Northern Alliance side is a battleship, while the Western Alliance side is an expeditionary-class capital ship of one level higher, you know, the value of the battleship is ten times that of one level worse. There are a total of twenty-seven finalized bidders in the Western League, and this is twenty-seven capital ships! Its value is equivalent to that of two commander-class giant ships. Such a high level of collateral. For the first time in the history of the auction.
Of course, the Western Alliance side can conduct a unified auction, but in front of such a valuable existence as a life crystal. Trust is not so easy to exist. In particular, no one wants the life crystals they photographed to be known. Huameng is allowed to participate anonymously. Of course, you can also participate in the auction as long as you want.
Ximeng paid the price for his previous stupidity, and the first to be affected was the Osdie family. Because they are strongly advocating confrontation with the Huameng, and this time there is such a big problem, they cannot shirk their responsibility. Many consortia naturally calculate their losses on them. Of course. Fortunately, it is only collateral, and if even the auction price is affected by this, the Osdi family will probably have to bear more pressure.
No doubt. In this confrontation at the political level, the Huameng side instantly reversed the situation with the powerful allure of the life crystal, and slapped Ximeng in the face, which has always been the weakest. This is the first time that such an upper hand has been held.
The appraisal day has finally arrived under the expectation of many high-level forces. In order to participate in this auction, everyone has paid a lot of price, and to participate in the auction, the first thing to determine is whether the lot is what they want. Therefore, the representatives sent by all parties have sufficient vision or have participated in the research of metamorphosis.
Huameng officially issued a statement that the appraisers of all parties involved in the appraisal on the appraisal date must strictly follow the appraisal rules, and if there is a problem with any appraiser. There is even an act of stealing, then. The bidder represented by the bidder will be directly disqualified from the auction, and the collateral will not be refunded. Such a provision is understandable, and it is both a constraint and a manifestation of fairness.
The venue of the appraisal day was not officially announced until the day before the appraisal day, and when the participating parties learned the location of the appraisal day, they could not help but be moved. Even the participating parties who originally had some dirty ideas, after learning about this place, couldn't help but restrain a lot.
Skyfire Museum!
A plain and straightforward name. But the meaning it represents is so shocking. The former residence of the soothsayer.
Although the soothsayer is dead, the mighty ruler known as the Eye of the Future is the most mysterious of all the rulers who has ever been, and who can be sure of what he left behind before he left? What's more, the significance of the soothsayer to the Tianhuo Dao, as long as anyone who knows a little bit about the Tianhuo Dao knows that if someone dares to go wild here, they will inevitably be hit by the Tianhuo Dao with all its might.
The Heavenly Fire Avenue is not accessible to everyone, but it is beyond doubt as the most powerful organization in the world of the Alien today. In recent years, the Heavenly Fire Avenue has frequently produced dominators, and it has actually shown the strong strength of its younger generation in the Ability Competition, and finally won the crown, thus making the overall strength of the Heavenly Fire Avenue continue to soar in front of the evaluators. Now it has completely become an existence beyond the two castles and the Grand Alliance.
As one of the bidders who came to participate in the auction on behalf of the Northern Alliance, Chu Dong, as the head of the family, came in person, and he also came to Tianhuo Avenue for the first time, from his son, Chu Dong had heard a lot about Tianhuo Dao, but when he really came here, he felt completely different.
As soon as he walked into Tianhuo Avenue, he liked it a little. Chu Dong likes all kinds of ancient things very much, and Tianhuo Avenue is like a perfect architectural exhibition in the Shangyuan era, and every building on both sides of the street is so exquisite. Whether it is the five ridges and six beasts carved and jade of Chinese architecture, or the spire of Gothic architecture, or the complexity of Gaode-style architecture, each of them has a thrilling beauty in his eyes.
Looking at these, he couldn't help but stop, his eyes a little mesmerized. I even forgot a little about the purpose of this trip.
At this moment, he suddenly felt something, and subconsciously set his eyes in one direction.
The four eyes met, Chu Dong's mind froze slightly, and the mood of admiring the building disappeared in an instant.
It's him!
The touching eyes instantly became complicated, and it was no wonder that he was like this. How many years? How many years haven't seen him? He is less heroic than he was back then, but he is a little more stable and old city, even if he has become a generation of masters, but the years have still left traces on his face after all.
The gourmand strode towards Chu Dong, and only stopped three meters in front of him.
"Brother ......" is a simple one-word call, but at this moment it seems so difficult for foodies. His voice was a little harsh, even slightly trembling, and his eyes were already red.
When he was a child, Chu Dong and Chu Xi brothers had a very good relationship, Chu Dong was eight years older than Chu Xi, and he took great care of his younger brother since he was a child. He had never been jealous of his brother's talent, and although he worked harder than his brother's cultivation, he was even more looking forward to his brother becoming the pillar of the family. They practiced and played together, and spent their youth together.
Even during the most painful period in Chu Xi, he never hated his brother, because the person in charge of the family was always their father, Chu Yun, the head of the iron-blooded Chu family. From childhood to adulthood, when Chu Xi was punished, I don't know how many times Chu Dong guarded him and helped him bear it silently.
And all this, time has passed, it has happened 20 years ago.
"Bang-" Chu Dong punched his younger brother's chest, causing the gourmet's body to slide back directly and retreat seven or eight meters before stopping.
The figure flashed, and Chu Dong had already arrived in front of him in the next moment, grabbed his front placket, and stared at him with eyes as sharp as a knife. "You bastard!"
The gourmet, who has the title of the Lord of the Watch of the Underworld, is like a child who has made a mistake at this moment, his hands hanging down at his sides, without any intention of resisting, and his eyebrows are lowered and pleasing to the eyes, and he is completely willing to fight.
"Do you know......" Chu Dong's eyes also turned red.
The gourmet's body trembled slightly, and the punch he was hit by was a little painful, but it obviously didn't contain any energy, just pure strength and resentment.
"Do you know ......, I miss you so much!" Chu Dong pulled the gourmand closer, let go of the hand that grabbed his placket, and turned to open his arms, tightly hugging his brother who he hadn't seen for nearly twenty years.
The gourmand was stunned, and in the next moment, in some hesitation, he put his backhand around his tall brother who was already gray.
"Brother, I'm sorry." I'm sorry, these three words came out of the mouth of a gourmet, like a thousand pounds of burden, these three words lingered in his heart for a long time. Since being promoted to Juggernaut, his mind has become much more enlightened, and he has gradually figured out a lot of things after thinking about everything in the past. He is already completely sure that the death of his lover should have nothing to do with the family, and those obvious traces, now that he thinks about it, why not be a blame?
Letting go of the hug, Chu Dong pinched the corners of his eyes, and the moist tears were quietly steamed by the Hades flame, "Why don't you come back?" You should have understood what happened. The old man has such a stubborn temper, so are you, you are more like him than me, is it so difficult to go back? He's old......"
When he said the last three words, Chu Dong's eyes couldn't help but moisten again.
The gourmand said bitterly: "It's not that I don't want to go back, but I don't have the face to go back, and I don't know how to face you at all." Even today, I hesitated for a long time whether to come and see you. Brother, when I go back, please say sorry to my father for me, I know I was wrong. However, the mistake has been made, and I ......" (to be continued. )
