As soon as this remark was made, all the guests in the rooms began to gossip. 

Who is Princess An Leen’s father? His Majesty the Emperor.

If the message from the guest in room 066 is true, then the body of the old Emperor really was bad. There were so many royal pharmacists, but they had to look outside for a chance of cure.

Combined with the other party’s sudden alliance with the President, trying so hard to marry into the Chu family… Is this to divert the Federation’s attention to the marriage and cover up the Emperor’s serious illness?

No, more than that, the Imperial Princess stuck Chu Rong as soon as she came her, looking overeager at times. Can this actually mean that she was looking for a clue of Chu Rong’s recovery instead? 

‘Interesting, this auction really reveals a lot.’ Many people thought so. 

Princess An Leen kept her head down in her room 022 despite her enormous shame. Meanwhile, in room 008, An Tyn, who was sitting with Chu Rong, performed marginally better. He only looked sheepish while he looked at room 066.

Chu Rong, who had been silent, nodded slightly to the table and said with a pointed finger, “It seems that Prince An Tyn really did not know what Princess An Leen was going to this auction today… Maybe you need to go to the bathroom again?”

This is an obvious attempt to tell him that Chu Rong actually knew. An Tyn, on the other hand, was still trying to obscure the news that the Emperor is seriously ill.

An Tyn pulled back his eyes, frowned, and hated his sister’s foolishness even more. But he couldn’t say anything to room 066, nor could he pull back his sister’s careless remark. He can only bear with this situation with a long sigh. He got up and left, no longer sitting here trying to curry favor with Chu Rong, and turned to room 022.

The nasty ghost went away, and the cold expression on Chu Rong’s face immediately melted. He showed some irritability, fingers rhythmically tapped his photon computer. He glanced at Fan Xiangnan, who was quietly waiting at the corner. He ordered, “Send someone to contact the guest in room 066 and ask for the source of his news.” 

Fan Xiangnan knew that the relationship between Master Shang and the Chu family was good, so he knew this request was reasonable. He nodded, and got up to leave the room.

After the room door was closed, Chu Rong’s gaze fell on the auction booklet. He turned it over, turning his thoughts subconsciously to Qiao Zhiya, who seemed very troubled these days. He frowned. 

‘Last time, my teasing was a bit too much. I should buy something to appease him.’ 

After guest 066 finished speaking, the auctioneer suddenly smiled and said that because this mecha was the first business of today, the organizer decided to waive the additional transaction fee. 

After listening to this, Chu Yan laughed even more exaggeratedly. Master Shang spent 10 billion to buy back his own mecha. Originally, he only had to pay for the transaction fee, but since that was waived off, he basically spent zero penny to humiliate that annoying Princess! This sale is worth it!

Princess An Leen’s face turned green. Then, the door suddenly opened. An Tyn strode forward and said coldly, “Do not talk rashly, pay attention to your manners!”

“Ge…” An Leen whispered softly.

In the end, she is his sister, and she had learned a painful lesson today. An Tyn couldn’t say anything more severe. He could only glare at her. Instead of continuing to scold her, he simply sat down and looked at the auctioneer who had already continued as if this was the usual. “This is the Federation’s territory. We are outnumbered everywhere! If you want to stand up, you have to speak with strength. Remember, our main purpose of this auction is near the end.” 

An Leen was reminded by him, thinking of the set of weapons she had specifically auctioned off this time. She became a little calmer, but then, she remembered the finale – a set of mysterious weapons. She frowned again, saying, “Ge, I understand… But instead of using my weapon as the finale, Famous Brand inexplicably got a set of twin knives to press our weapon down. I was furious and just … “

“Stupid!” An Tyn couldn’t help but raised his voice again. Seeing his sister’s shrinking neck, he slowed down his anger and said, “This is just a little trick the Federation used to save face. Your main purpose today is to make Chu Rong take that set of weapons, everything else is secondary! Now because of you, I was kicked out by Chu Rong, and I couldn’t continue to chat with him. Father’s sickness was also exposed. You better pray that the weapons are enough to attract Chu Rong, otherwise … “

“How did you get kicked out by Chu Rong? He—”

An Tyn shutted her up by glaring at her. 

An Leen froze, swallowed her question, and promised, “Ge, don’t worry, the weapon was customized by Master Brendan according to Chu Rong’s preference. Chu Rong will definitely like it!”

“I hope so,” An Tyn snorted, looking back.

After that, the auction became smooth and normal. Chu Yan turned back to the theater mode. While he praised every item, he did not take any of it. He just watched others bidding with joy, occasionally gossiping, and ate snacks. Just simple fun.

Qiao Zhiya accompanied him eagerly, waiting quietly for the last item to be on sale.

Without knowing it, the auction finally got to the last two items. 

A cloud of fog gathered and dispersed again. A combination of a mecha’s cold weapon and firearm appeared on the display stand. The cold weapon was a short dagger, and the firearm was a simplified double-barreled cannon, all of which were low-key black. It looked both powerful and aesthetically pleasing. 

When Chu Yan saw the weapon, he stood up. His frown got deeper and deeper with each passing second, then his expression became serious.

Qiao Zhiya also stopped peeling nuts. Looking at the weapons on the stage, he remembered the old photo that he had seen. He had an unpleasant guess in his heart. “This set of weapons …”

“It’s exactly a copy of my Erge’s weapons back then,” Chu Yan answered, and brought back that old photo to directly compare it. “Erge’s preference is widely known. He likes short swords or daggers, and for long-range, he likes using double-barreled guns. This set of weapons seems to be tailor-made for him.” 

Qiao Zhiya didn’t know this yet, because when Chu Rong used the mecha in front of him, he had never used a weapon. This made his heart uncomfortable and his mind hazy. “Will Chu Rong really like it? Then I will bid for them-“

“Don’t bid,” Chu Yan stopped him, and looked away at Princess An Leen’s room. His Young Master radar was tingling. He shook his head as he said, “Believe in me. Compared to the weapon we bought, Erge will prefer the ones you make.” 

Qiao Zhiya blushed at this remark. As he thought about it, he followed Chu yan and gave up trying to bid. ‘Xiao Yan is right. Since I can design and make weapons, it’s better I make the ones for Chu Rong by myself. Maybe it’s time for me to master firearms-making.’ 

“Sir,” Fan Xiangnan couldn’t help looking at Chu Rong at the table.

Chu Rong waved his hand. He looked at the weapons on the booth, sneered, and said, “I didn’t expect that my weapons preferences are still remembered after decades. No wonder the President urged me to come so hard. An Tyn probably had told him.” 

Fan Xiangnan followed and shook his head.

With such an obvious bait, how could the Marshal bite so foolishly like that? This time, the Marshal came to this auction not because of the President’s invitation or An Tyn’s urging. 

The auctioneer on the field reversed the style of the brief introduction before, and detailedly described this set of weapons: “This set of weapons was produced by Master Brendan, the Imperial Royal Mecha’s designer. It uses rare black Thunderstone as the main component. After six months of careful design… “

Finally arriving at the main show, Princess An Leen immediately sat upright and tidied her hair. In her plan, she would wait until Chu Rong bid for this weapon, then immediately show up to give this set of weapons to Chu Rong for free. This token of love would definitely spark something up! 

Five minutes later, the auctioneer’s long introduction was over, and the weapon was announced.

Then one second, two seconds, three seconds… one minute …

The reserve price on the price logo was unchanged – no one bid. It was very awkward and deserted.

The auctioneer finally had to stand up and promote it again, but no one wanted to bid at it. Seeing that three minutes almost passed, but nobody actually tried to buy it, An Leen was beyond anxious. She reached out to the bidder and said, “Why didn’t Chu Rong bid? The weapon was so perfect. Did he want me to deliver it to him? But… “

“Shut up.” 

An Tyn interrupted her ramble, but did not obstruct her bidding. His face turned black.

Weapons made by the mecha maker of his Imperial Royal Family must not be bought by the Federation. This was a matter of not only Master Brendan’s prestige, but also the Imperial Royal Family. 

Princess An Leen made a bid. It was 100 million. 

Three minutes later, the weapon was sold at a price of 100 million yuan, and the atmosphere in room 022 sank to the bottom.

Finally, it was today’s finale. The auctioneer quickly moved on to the grand finale with a wave of his hand. The stage was shrouded in clouds again, and at the same time his brief introduction sounded, “The next item… the finale. Us, Famous Brands, proudly presented, from a second-time seller, a set of twin knives made of a secondary-mutated red tin ore and Star Sand. Feast your eyes.” 

The clouds disappeared, and a pair of knives appeared on the stage. The blades of the knives were dark and purple, shrouded in some kind of mysterious dark lines. The booth light flashed, and the gorgeous blade reflected it. 

Without waiting for everyone to carefully see the pattern on the knife, a mecha suddenly jumped onto the stage, took out one of the knives, and made a gentle stroke across all the rooms. The knives were smooth, and it split all the clouds in one clean strike. But the rest remained spotless, showcasing the sharpness and quality of the knife. 

‘What an amazing weapon!’

All the guests were surprised and couldn’t help leaning forward.

The mecha disappeared, the knife was inserted back on the stage, and a row of weapon data was projected.

“As the guests can see, all the values ​​of this weapon are all super-class,” The auctioneer said with a smile, as if the super was something that was easy to achieve, and there was no need to linger on it. 

“All super-class?” Chu Yan was flabbergasted, looking at Qiao Zhiya. “Can you sell the super-class weapons you made?”

“No, no,” Qiao Zhiya was also equally speechless. Then he took the spar from the storage ring and said, “I-I have the money. Quick, we must buy it back. This kind of special weapon can’t fall in other people’s hands!” 

“He didn’t expect that Master Ren actually took out a super-class weapon for auction!

Chu Yan collapsed, mourning while holding the bidder, “What the fuck is Master Ren doing? He can’t send this weapon for Famous Brands like this, is he trying to pit his ally?” 

The Imperial Twins reacted immediately. Princess An Leen spluttered, “It’s all super-class? This is impossible! Even if there is Star Sand, it is impossible! What is a secondary-mutated red tin ore??” 

As if in response to her words, the twin knives on the stand suddenly disappeared and replaced by a dark purple stone. The auctioneer explained with a wide smile, “This twin knives can have such a value, all because of its very special material. This is the real finale of today’s Famous Brands auction – the second-mutated red tin ore from the Chu family. There’s currently a limited supply, one of which was used to create these knives. The opening price is 100 million, and the bid is now open.” 

Chu Yan and Qiao Zhiya slumped together, feeling boneless. “What? Secondary-mutated red tin ore?” This is… no longer a secret now?” 

In room 008, Chu Rong was satisfied. He took a tea cup and took a sip calmly.

‘Today’s play isn’t bad.’
