The interior of the villa is as luxurious as the exterior gardening. Crafted mahogany, natural balustrades and arches, intricately crafted crystal chandeliers, shiny floors clean enough to reflect human figures, and valuable wall paintings everywhere – this villa is an expensive work of art in its own right. As a result, the guests mostly gathered in the dining room to eat or rest in their rooms before the old man took the stage, and some were always wandering around, looking left and right – but just now, almost everyone was heading towards the main venue of the auction.

Except for the rookies who participated in the "black auction" for the first time, everyone knew when the big thing about the carnival would start - it was a quarter of an hour after seven o'clock. The old butler bowed respectfully and stepped back, and the two who appeared next attracted the attention of the guests below.

The one in front of him, dressed in a fuchsia suit, with a fat head and big ears, in addition to being bald, has a treacherous smile and a full face that is obvious at first glance - as it seems, this guy is really not a good thing. He is the president of "Rubacher", Marconi.

In the face of the elites and elites from all walks of life in the audience, Marconi showed a flattered and flattering smile, and greeted the audience while laughing. But no attention was paid to him - because he was just a guide, and the middle-aged man behind him was the main thing. Marconi obviously understood this, too, so when the man appeared in front of the stage, he smiled playfully and stepped back behind the middle-aged man.

The usual hairstyle of the classical aristocracy, the neatly trimmed stubble, the well-proportioned figure that has passed the age of confusion, and the graceful temperament from top to bottom - at the same time, without forgetting his ability and position in the city - he attracted all eyes as soon as he appeared.

"Ladies and gentlemen...... Hello. The middle-aged man walked up to the stage, and just one sentence caused a heated discussion among the participants below, and some even showed flattered expressions. You must know that the people in the field are all elites or magnates from all walks of life, and they are all de facto rulers from all walks of life. Being able to make some of them look like this is a testament to Harutman's influence.

"Is this guy Harutman? Hehe, it's indeed more majestic than Mayor McDowell......" Heliga's heart and expression did not fluctuate, and he took a sip of the wine on the table, "but I have also seen the "Iron Willed Prime Minister" anyway...... The majesty on him is just a pretended appearance, far from the pride and courage of the prime minister who devours heaven and earth. ”

"That's what I thought too...... He wasn't even as good as Queen Ashley. Levi also had an indifferent expression. Coincidentally, the two people wearing masks have seen some of the best authorities and superiors on the mainland, and Harutman's pretentiousness is so majestic that he can't get into the eyes of the two at all.

"Let's just wait...... I can't afford it, but it's nice to look at the artworks on display, isn't it? Looking at Marconi with an embarrassed but polite face, Heliga said to Levi beside him.

"Strange ......" As the auction at the main venue was reaching its climax, Garcia, who had patrolled the huge mansion several times but found nothing, scratched his head, for some reason, his heart was always full of unease, "I thought they would do something......

"Even the Black Moon, who doesn't know the height of the sky, doesn't dare to be disrespectful to Speaker Harutman." A member of the mafia sneered that Harutman had a two-pronged relationship with Crossbell after all, and even if it was a republican, he had a lot of intricate relationships with him.

"Stupid, don't underestimate them. Needless to say, that Cao is also a very talented guy. In the face of such an opponent, if you take it lightly, you don't know how you died. García reprimanded, he still had a sentence that he didn't say - "Black Moon" has long had the intention of throwing off the politicians of the republican faction and going it alone, and Speaker Harutman is probably just a relatively difficult opponent in the eyes of today's "Black Moon", and if they have the opportunity, they will definitely cause some trouble for "Lubacher" and Harutman.

"Yes...... "For Garcia, an old chasseur, the mafia members still have great respect, seeing that the boss has such an attitude, how dare they continue to say something.

"However, there is always a feeling that something is wrong with this auction......" Garcia ignored his subordinates' actions, and thought to himself, "except for the Black Moon...... There should be some other forces that are secretly acting in the shadows......"

Who could it be? The soul of a hunter, which had been sluggish in Garcia's heart, burned again. Is it the superkiller of Oriental Street, which claims to be immortal? Or is it the "Son of the God of Fighting" who is acting in Crossbell for some reason? Or is it ...... Who else?

......At the same time, a silver-gray shadow silently passed over the heads of Garcia and the others, the target of which was the warehouse where the goods to be exhibited at the auction were kept.

"Oops...... Is it about to start, think about it...... still a little excited, "Away from the noisy crowd, in addition to Helliga and Levy, there is also a young woman dressed maturely. The hairstyle on the top of her head is a weird diamond double ponytail that people dare not compliment her taste, but her status is so prominent that no one dares to point out the comicality of this hairstyle directly, even if she ignores Speaker Harutman, she will not be blamed or commented on by anyone.

She is Mariabel Cullois, the daughter of the president of the "Crossbell International Bank", the daughter of the richest man in the mainland.

However, there was a hint of madness in her expression at this moment, no doubt not for the next auction, but for something else.

"Two people over there...... Hehe, it should be fine. Mariabel had long been aware of the presence of Levi and Helliga, who she had always been puzzled by. Of course, not to underestimate, that kind of power is too terrifying.

"It's just...... No matter what you're going to do...... Don't be a stumbling block in the path of our Kulois family......" The corners of Mariabell's mouth curled in a dangerous arc.

“……？” Heliga, who was keenly aware of the hostile gaze, looked at Maria Bell—
