Chapter 501: Auction

Angie Prairie did not return so quickly in the end. When the auction began that night, she finally helped Uncle Sienna and the others deal with some follow-up matters in the United States of Melaita and stepped onto the returning starship.
According to her schedule, she would only be able to jump through the stargate at dawn. She could barely make it back before daybreak.
Angie Prairie expressed her regret that she could not participate in this auction.
Not only because she might successfully help Xiu save her clansmen in this auction and repay her for saving her previously, but also because once the process of the auction was not smooth, she would have missed a good opportunity to participate in the commotion.
Chu Nan sneered at this.
He did not want any accidents to happen at this auction. It was best if the Angelo Chamber of Commerce obediently took out Xiu’s clansmen to auction. Then, Dong Fang could successfully buy them all and resolve this problem easily.
When Nightclub City was enveloped by the night again, Chu Nan and Xiu appeared at the entrance of the auction with Dong Fang.
This auction was the largest one in the recent period of time in Nightclub City, the entire Planet Leppler, and even the entire Sapphire Star Field. Not only did it attract Chu Nan and the others who had an additional goal, but it also attracted guests from all over the Sapphire Star Field and other Star Fields.
However, in fact, not many people were qualified to enter the auction.
According to the lowest requirement given by the auction, even Dong Fang was invited to participate in this auction because the organizer had given the Earth Federation’s caravan face.
After all, the Earth Federation had sent this caravan this time. It was the first time this extremely remote small country on the Orion Arm had conducted such a public and large-scale commercial contact with the Sapphire Star Field. In order to have better cooperation in the future, the few large factions on Planet Leppler had paid a lot of attention to this.
If it was in the past, even if Dong Fang revealed his identity as the son of a major shareholder of the Earth Federation’s top-notch company, the Seres Security Company, he would probably not be taken seriously.
“Mr. Dong Fang, welcome to this auction. May I ask if the two of them are your followers?” After the attendant in charge of welcoming the guests checked Dong Fang’s invitation, he respectfully handed it to him and his gaze landed on Chu Nan and Xiu behind him.
......
Dong Fang nodded. The waiter seriously sized up Chu Nan and Xiu and did not ask further.
The guests participating in the auction came from all over the place. If everyone asked too clearly, it would inevitably cause the guests to be unhappy.
Seeing that the waiter made way, Dong Fang walked into the venue.
Chu Nan and Xiu followed closely behind. Just as they took two steps, a figure suddenly walked out from the side and happened to be between Dong Fang and Chu Nan, blocking his path.
Chu Nan was stunned and stopped.
Looking up, a trace of surprise and vigilance flashed through his eyes.
Although this guy did not look special on the surface, as his body moved, he could clearly sense the energy in the space around his body flowing abnormally.
Apart from proving that he should be a martial artist with powerful control over spatial energy, this special state also proved that he was actually in a state of being ready to attack at any time.
Moreover, Chu Nan actually felt a familiar aura from the energy fluctuations around him.
After thinking for a moment, he quickly understood.
This familiar aura was actually identical to the Void Break expert he had encountered when he had visited the slave base of the Rand Clan in the suburbs last night!
Seeing that the other party was blocking in front of him and staring at him, Chu Nan narrowed his eyes slightly and revealed an unfriendly expression.
Although he had finally been exposed last night, he had been very careful to hide his face from the beginning to the end, let alone fight with the other party to expose his cultivation method. Therefore, the other party should not recognize him so easily.
Now that he had suddenly darted out, he might have guessed it with reference to Chu Nan’s figure, but he was not sure.
Under such circumstances, Chu Nan naturally could not show any guilt.
He looked straight into the other party’s eyes with an unfriendly expression and a trace of provocation in his eyes.
In an instant, the spatial energy around the two of them began to fluctuate wantonly. Threads of lightning caused by the friction of energy flashed between the two of them, immediately causing people to feel that the atmosphere was filled with gunpowder.
The waiter who had already moved to the side was shocked. He hurriedly took a step forward, but he did not dare to really interfere between the two of them. He could only shout softly and anxiously at the middle-aged man who suddenly darted out, “Mr. Falk, what are you doing? These are VIPs from the Earth Federation. Please don’t fight them here!”
Towards the end, the waiter’s words already carried a trace of threat.
The person hosting this auction was another large faction on Planet Leppler that was definitely not inferior to the Angelo Chamber of Commerce. If Falk, who belonged to the Angelo Chamber of Commerce, caused trouble here, the large faction behind him would definitely not let him off easily.
“Mr. Falk?” When he heard the waiter call out this middle-aged man’s name, Chu Nan almost laughed.
Although he knew very well that the local language on Planet Leppler was not related to the language on Earth and that this name was directly translated from his personal terminal… this name was still too interesting.
Falk looked at Chu Nan deeply and approached him. He said in a low voice, “Kid, don’t think about causing trouble, understand?”
“I don’t think I’m the one causing trouble now, right, Mr. Falk?” Chu Nan retorted bluntly.
Falk snorted loudly and turned to leave.
Seeing his reaction, Chu Nan was even more certain that he did not completely recognize him.
Otherwise, with the status of the Angelo Chamber of Commerce on Planet Leppler, if he confirmed that he was the person who had secretly sneaked into the base yesterday, he would definitely not give up so easily.
Dong Fang raised his eyebrows and looked at Chu Nan questioningly.
Chu Nan smiled at him and shook his head to indicate that it was fine. Then, he pulled Xiu who had revealed a vigilant expression because of Falk’s actions, and walked in.
The venue was very large. With a rough glance, it was enough to accommodate at least 500 people. It could be seen how large the scale of this auction was.
With Dong Fang’s status, he was still not qualified to book a single room. He could only bring Chu Nan to a random empty seat in the venue.
The efficiency of the auction organization was very high. After the designated time, they used a very short method to complete the useless segment in the early stage and officially entered the auction.
Chu Nan’s only goal in participating in this auction was to save Xiu’s clansmen. The person in charge of the auction was still Dong Fang, and the person in charge of identifying people was Xiu. Therefore, he originally thought that it was none of his business.
However, when an item was taken out, it attracted his attention.
