Evening, 18:00.
When the dinner banquet began in the middle zone, various aromas assaulted their noses.
The attendant respectfully handed Wu Jin a towel, aiming a curious gaze at the bodyguard beside the young master. The ambiguous relationship between the two seemed to have become a source of conversation and gossip.
Wei Shi was expressionless.
The sound of detailed discussion grew calm the moment they appeared.
Wu Jin accepted the towel.
He raised his eyebrows slightly. The lighting in the hall was ambiguous, and curtains covered one side of the hall. The curtains were embroidered with leopard-like spots, and access to the upper area was behind it.
Wu Jin: “What is that.”
The waiter bowed, “That door will open up for distinguished guests in due course.”
Wu Jin nodded.
The attendant spoke in a low voice, “Tonight’s auction is about to begin. If you’re interested...”
In the headset, Researcher Song’s voice came across, mixed in with electric static, “The access requirements for the upper zone is unclear, but the auction is the only way to throw money at the problem. The Duchess’s contact will arrive in half an hour... By the way, remember this––don’t use your own card.”
“Use Brother Wei’s card. We’re out on a business trip, so he’ll be paying for it!”
Wu Jin quickly nodded repeatedly. He wasn’t nearly as rich as Brother Wei!
The attendant beside him looked confused.
The young master suddenly straightened his back, “We’ll go to the auction.”
Wu Jin reached out tentatively to the big boss.
Wei Shi’s expression changed slightly. The scene where the little white rabbit begged pitifully for pocket money was very pleasing to the eye. Wei Shi soon drew out a black card and handed it to Wu Jin, his fingertips rubbing twice across the youth’s palm.
Wu Jin shivered and held the big boss’s no-limit credit card very carefully. Then, he immediately came back to his senses and pretended that he bought things and freely spent money frequently.
The attendant led them to their seats, then left after Wu Jin found an excuse to send him away.
The leopard stepped all over others and came to rub its big face against Wei Shi’s calf. Meanwhile, a new stand was set up in the middle of the auction hall.
While nobody else was paying attention to them, Wu Jin raised up his small round face to look around everywhere.
There were several charity auctions in Wu Jín’s memories, but the auction on the Star of Bliss was different from those grand auctions. It was more like a corner in a shadowed private salon that could appear every night.
Legal and illegal goods intermingled and circulated around in this place. In particular, Wu Jin noticed that the aristocratic ladies who’d lingered near the garden in the middle zone during the day could no longer be seen, while the sound of sweet laughter came from the attic in the distance.
The auction area was isolated by a ‘vacuum zone’.
Wu Jin suddenly remembered that Researcher Song had said that the Star of Bliss was a carnival for adults.
“!” Wu Jin quickly hid in the shadows and asked the big boss cleverly, “What do they sell here?”
Wei Shi didn’t answer.
