Chapter 63: The Auction
Red Moon Auction House.
This auction house was opened by the Red Moon Family, one of the seven wealthy families, and the Red Moon Family is a pivotal presence in the northern part of the Radiant City, and there are five noble families nearby, all of whom are under the orders of the Red Moon Family, including the Celestial Scar Family.
In the past, because the Celestial Scar Family was suppressed by the Divine Family, one of the three pinnacle families, the Red Moon Family was alienated from the Celestial Scar Family, but now seeing that the Alchemist Association has such a close relationship with the Celestial Scar Family, the Red Moon Family has frequently shown favor to the Celestial Scar Family.
The auction house was full of people, and as the nobles of the family, Nie Hai, Nie En, and Nie Li were arranged in the VIP room on the second floor.
He was accompanied by the heads of several other aristocratic families and their retinues.
Nie Hai saw a few acquaintances and went up to say hello.
"Li Yuan family master, Chi Feng family master, long time no see!" Nie Hai said slightly.
Li Yuan looks like he is fifty or sixty years old, although his hair is a little gray, but his spirit is very strong, and he is the head of the Liyuan family. The Chi Feng next to him was a little younger, very tall, and was the head of the Tiankui family.
"Nie Hai family master, don't come to harm!" Li Yuan and Chi Feng also bowed their hands and said with a smile.
"Haha, thanks to the blessings of the two!" Nie Hai said a greeting, he had a good relationship with Li Yuan and Chi Feng, even during the suppression of the Divine Family, Li Yuan and Chi Feng still had some contacts with Nie Hai.
Seeing Nie Hai greeting Li Yuan and Chi Feng, the Jiang Ming family head of the Silver Tiger family and the Lei Zhuo family head of the Iron Gate family in the distance all showed a trace of resentment and jealousy.
"The Nie Hai family master is very proud!" said the Lei Zhuo family master with a faint mockery.
The head of the Jiang Ming family next to him also sneered and said: "Isn't it, I was suppressed by the Divine Family before, and when I went to the Divine Family to beg my grandfather to tell my grandmother, I almost didn't kneel down for the people of the Divine Family, but now with the protection of the Alchemist Association, of course I can jump around." But...... How long can the Alchemist Association protect the Heavenly Scar Family? At that time, maybe the Divine Family will be in trouble, I don't know if the Nie Hai Family Master can be as proud as he is today!"
Hearing the words of Lei Zhuo and Jiang Ming, Nie Hai's face changed slightly, Lei Zhuo and Jiang Ming's families and the Tianji family have never been very opposed, the cynicism in the tone of the two made Nie Hai very unhappy, he naturally did not show weakness, and smiled disapprerovingly: "Why do I smell such a big sourness, it is not wrong for the Tianji family to be protected by the Alchemist Association, it is better than some family grandfathers who don't kiss grandma and don't love it!"
Lei Zhuo and Jiang Ming's faces were slightly gloomy, to be honest, they were indeed very jealous of the Tianji Family, the current Alchemist Association was not the Alchemist Association of the past, I heard that the Alchemist Association purchased medicinal herbs from the Tianji Family, which was more than thirty percent higher than the market price, and the Alchemist Association also sent a lot of high-grade pills from the Tianji Family, which was enough to cultivate many outstanding juniors, while their Silver Tiger Family and the Iron Gate Family, the herbs planted were completely unmarketable, so they could only sell them at a low price.
"Being a dog leg of the Alchemist Association is still so self-righteous. I really thought that the Alchemist Association would treat you as treasures!" Lei Zhuo pursed his lips disdainfully.
Hearing Lei Zhuo's words, Li Yuan and Chi Feng also spoke.
"Lei Zhuo's family master's words are wrong, if the Tianji Family is the dog leg of the Alchemist Association, I'm afraid there is no need for the Alchemist Association to give such good conditions to the Tianji Family, right?" Li Yuan said with a faint smile, he was obviously on Nie Hai's side.
Chi Feng also nodded and said: "Indeed, it is obvious that the Alchemist Association has asked for the Tianji family, so it will give the Tianji family such generous conditions, and even take our two families with it!"
Li Yuan's Liyuan family and Chi Feng's Tiankui family sold the medicinal herbs they planted to the Tianji family at a price one percent higher than the market price, and the Tianji family resold it to the Alchemist Association, making a lot of money from it, and they and the Tianji family have become a community of interests. This can be regarded as their reward for sending charcoal in the snow when the Celestial Scar Family was down.
Lei Zhuo and Jiang Ming snorted coldly, they couldn't figure out what was the matter of such a huge force of the Alchemist Association that the Heavenly Scar Family was asking for? They sent a lot of subordinates to investigate, but they didn't get any clues.
There was always a faint hostility in the VIP room.
Nie En and Nie Li were sitting on the side sipping tea, anyway, it was a fight between the heads of the family, it was none of their business, and they couldn't say anything.
"The heads of the Silver Tiger Family and the Iron Gate Family have always been domineering, and when the Divine Family suppressed us, they lowered the price and sent someone to buy a piece of territory from us!" Nie En looked at Lei Zhuo and Jiang Ming in the distance, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes, "If we knew that they were going to buy it, we wouldn't have sold it for anything! When the Divine Family suppressed us, these two families contributed the most and stole all our business!"
Hearing Nie En's words, Nie Li's eyebrows raised slightly, if it was just an ordinary family fight, he wouldn't take it to heart, but if these two families were the dogs of the Divine Family, Nie Li would definitely not let them go.
The auction was about to begin, and the owners of the houses walked up to the stands and looked into the distance.
The auctioneer in charge of the auction was a beautiful girl, wearing a faintly transparent silk dress, with that delicate face, full of endless temptation. I have to say that the people of the Red Moon family are very smart, and such a sexy ** girl is easy to make people's heads hot and spend a lot of money.
"Recently, the Tianji Family has traded various medicinal herbs with the Alchemist Association, and it must have made a lot of money!The Nie Hai family master is here, the real treasures of this auction, I'm afraid it won't be the turn of the two of us!" Lei Zhuo glanced at Nie Hai and said with a smile.
"Also, how can our financial resources be comparable to the Heavenly Scar Family!" Jiang Ming said with a smile.
Nie Hai's expression was depressed, how could he not hear the ridicule in the words of Lei Zhuo and Jiang Ming, but he could only swallow this breath in his stomach, although he had cooperated with the Alchemist Association recently, the Tianji family had indeed made a lot of money, but the foundation was still very thin, that is, he had barely recovered his vitality, how could he compare with the two families of Silver Tiger and Iron Gate.
Li Yuan and Chi Feng also frowned frequently, Lei Zhuo and Jiang Ming were simply pressing step by step, not relenting, which was very annoying.
At this moment, Nie Li, who was sitting on Nie Hai's right hand, suddenly spoke: "The two family masters have won the prize, and the Tianji family has nothing else, but there is a lot of money, and the real treasures of today's auction are indeed probably not the turn of the two family masters!"
Hearing Nie Li's words, Lei Zhuo's face sank, and he said, "Little ghost, what are you, and you deserve to talk to us, can you represent the Heavenly Scar Family?"
"Can you represent the Heavenly Scar Family, you can ask the Nie Hai Family Master!" Nie Li said lightly.
Nie Li's status in the Heavenly Scar Family is indeed no longer what it used to be, Nie Hai nodded and said, "Of course he can represent my Heavenly Scar Family!"
"A little kid dares to say big things here, I'm really not afraid of flashing my tongue!" Lei Zhuo snorted, since Nie Hai said that Nie Li could represent the Tianji family, he didn't have anything to say, "The Tianji family is really getting more and more regressive, and he is so spoiled by a junior!"
