Chapter 505: Successful Auction
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Perhaps it was because they had seen that prince being angered away by Chu Nan and had personally seen his wealth and determination to obtain these three girls, but when the second batch of slightly inferior girls were pushed out to be auctioned, Chu Nan’s sudden large increase in price only surprised everyone. However, no one was willing to compete with Chu Nan, allowing him to easily bid for this batch of 37 girls with a mere million.
One had to know that although these 37 girls were clearly inferior to the previous three in terms of appearance and other aspects, and the value of their eyeballs would not be very high, they were still considered good slaves. Under normal circumstances, if he really wanted to bid for all of them, the final price might exceed two million Trans.
When the third batch of strong men who were not of any special value in the eyes of others was pushed out and similarly priced at 300,000 Trans, Chu Nan was the first to bid. The others were not even interested in trying to increase the price. In the end, Chu Nan directly sold it at the starting price.
As for the last batch of old, weak, women, and children left behind, in the eyes of others, they were not valuable at all. The Angelo Chamber of Commerce did not expect to earn any money from auctioning them. They only tried to lower the price to 100,000 Trans.
Chu Nan deliberately waited for a while and cooperated with Xiu to put on a show. Only at the last moment did he put on a forced appearance and increase the price once more. He easily bought this group of Rand people who had the most numbers but were the most worthless.
Therefore, in the end, although Chu Nan spent two million Trans to buy three girls at first, he only spent 3.4 million.
Thump!
The wooden mallet in the auctioneer’s hand fell.
“Congratulations to guest 176 for successfully bidding for this batch of Rand slaves. Next, we’ll proceed to the next auction…”
After the dust settled, the auctioneer and the other guests were unwilling to invest too much energy in these few auctions. They turned to the next auction.
Hearing the auctioneer announce the result, Xiu turned around and looked at Chu Nan in disbelief. She opened her mouth and suddenly hugged him before crying loudly.
As she cried, she choked.
“Thank… thank… thank you… thank you…”
......
This action attracted the attention of some of the surrounding guests, but it only made them smile. They paid attention to the next auction and did not pay much attention to it.
Chu Nan smiled and patted Xiu’s back, “Alright, don’t cry, don’t cry. Don’t be in a hurry to thank me. Let’s go fetch your clansmen.”
Dong Fang also laughed, “That’s right. If you want to thank someone, you should thank me. Don’t forget that I paid for this.”
Xiu stopped crying and turned to look at Dong Fang with an extremely complicated expression.
In her heart, this Dong Fang was simply a demon. He always looked at her as if he was looking at a commodity without any emotions.
However, Dong Fang was right. The money to buy her clansmen was indeed paid by Dong Fang. Therefore, if she really had to thank someone, she should thank Dong Fang instead of Chu Nan.
Seeing Xiu’s conflicted expression, Dong Fang laughed and waved at her.
“Alright, I don’t need your gratitude. I’ve said it before, this is a deal to me. I think you and your clansmen are worth 5 million Trans, so I’ll pay all of it at this price. Moreover, it’s rare for Chu Nan to scheme and save me more than a million.”
At this point, Dong Fang revealed a meaningful smile to Chu Nan.
Chu Nan’s performance earlier had really exceeded his expectations.
This guy had snatched the initiative of the auction. His first action looked very rash and brainless, and he even angered a prince away. However, it just so happened that this action shocked the others with Chu Nan’s aura, causing no one to continue competing with him.
These slaves of the Rand Clan were indeed valuable, but they were not that precious.
If one did not especially like the slaves of the Rand Clan, generally speaking, no one would be especially obsessed with obtaining them.
Now that Chu Nan had displayed such an aura, the others naturally could not be bothered to compete with him.
If this boorish man raised the price very high and suddenly gave up, it would be a huge loss.
If the auction was carried out at a normal pace, the cost of bidding all the slaves of the Rand Clan might exceed five million Trans. However, after Chu Nan played a small trick, he immediately lowered the price by so much.
Dong Fang originally thought that Chu Nan’s family background was ordinary and he was not very familiar with the auction house. However, he did not expect him to be so decisive and even come up with some small tricks. It really made him feel as if he was meeting Chu Nan for the first time.
“Let’s talk about other things in the future. Go bring him out now. Chu Nan, go with Xiu. I’ll see if there’s anything good to buy here,” Dong Fang said.
Seeing that the staff of the auction house had already walked over, Chu Nan nodded and pulled Xiu who was still in a dilemma over.
The total number of Rand slaves taken out to be auctioned totaled nearly a hundred. Naturally, it was impossible to bring all of them to the auction venue.
Apart from the three especially young and beautiful girls of the Rand Clan who were taken out to be auctioned at the beginning, the other slaves of the Rand Clan were actually still imprisoned in the hands of the Angelo Chamber of Commerce.
After the staff of the auction house explained this situation to Chu Nan, he brought him to see the person in charge of the Angelo Chamber of Commerce.
Then… he was not surprised to see that Mr. Falk.
When he saw Chu Nan, Falk was stunned.
“It’s actually you?”
Chu Nan was not surprised.
He had already fought this guy at the base where the Rand slaves were held, so he was naturally from the Angelo Chamber of Commerce.
He glanced at Falk. “Can’t it be me?” Could it be that if it was me, your Angelo Chamber of Commerce will go back on this transaction?
Hearing this, Xiu immediately became nervous.
Although her clansmen had already been bought, if the Angelo Chamber of Commerce suddenly went back on their words and refused to hand them over, the problem would be serious.
Falk sneered, “Our Angelo Chamber of Commerce has always been extremely trustworthy. How can we do such a thing? Follow me.”
He waved at Chu Nan and gestured for him and Xiu to follow.
The two of them followed him out of the auction house and got into a small low-altitude floating shuttle. Before long, they flew out of Nightclub City and arrived at the base that Chu Nan had explored last night.
Under the lead of Falk and the staff of the auction house, Chu Nan was not obstructed this time. He smoothly and generously walked into the base and arrived in front of the familiar large house.
“Everyone is inside. Go count them yourself.” Falk coldly threw out and ignored Chu Nan and Xiu.
Without a word, Xiu rushed in.
A moment later, cries sounded in the room.
Chu Nan sighed in his mind and could not help but shake his head.
This group of Rand Clansmen had a tough life. If not for Xiu coincidentally encountering him, they would probably have been sold to various places and suffered an unimaginable fate.
However, when he thought of this, Chu Nan felt a little strange.
Dong Fang had always emphasized that he had taken a fancy to the value of these Rand Clansmen. However, other than the two martial techniques that Xiu had taken out and their special eyeballs, Chu Nan did not know what value they had.
With just those two martial techniques, although Chu Nan admitted that he could study them thoroughly, they were extremely valuable and could even compare to an S-rank cultivation method.
However, it was easier said than done to study it thoroughly.
As he thought of these questions, Chu Nan walked into the room.
As soon as he walked in, he saw Xiu supporting an old woman from the Rand Clan.
“Chu Nan, she’s the high priest I mentioned to you.” Perhaps it was because he was happy to see his clansmen again, but he did not stutter, “The high priest is my teacher and my family. She heard that…”
Before she could finish, the high priest’s body suddenly collapsed and she knelt in front of Chu Nan.
“Oh Heavenly God!”
