After Big Black Cat's bid of 500,000 Spirit Stones was announced, the outside fell silent; no one else continued to bid.
Ye Yun's eyes twinkled, a faint, mocking smile playing on his lips as he calmly sipped his Immortal Tea, his demeanor unhurried.
"500,000, going once."
The woman's voice rang out. After about thirty seconds, seeing no one follow up, she continued, "500,000, going twice."
The surroundings remained silent; no one else bid.
In one room, the Store Manager's face was grim. He fumed, "What on earth is Old Li doing? I asked him to arrange for people to secretly push up the price. Didn't he hear my instructions?"
Beside the Store Manager stood a woman dressed in black, her attire embroidered with a small Xuan bird pattern. Her face cold, she said, "I'll go take a look."
With that, the woman in black turned and left the room. When she appeared in a certain private room, she found it empty.
Strange? Where did they go?
