âMaster David, the auction is today. Please be prepared and Iâll take you there shortly,â Mick said outside the door.
âThank you, Old Sir. Iâm ready. We can go now,â David answered.
âPlease come with me, Master David.â
David followed Mick.
In the end, they came to a luxurious huge building. Four Immortal Rank guards were watching the door.
Only a loaded force like Treasure Trove could use Immortal Rankers as guards.
âMaster David, thatâs the venue of the auction. Please show the guards your invitation card before entering. Itâs still early and the auction will only start 3 hours later. You can walk around the streets outside and come back an hour before it starts. Please donât be late Once the auction starts, no one is allowed to enter. Not even if you have an invitation card,â Mick pointed at the door not far away and said.
âAlright, I got it. Thank you, Old Sir,â David thanked, âYouâre welcome. These are all Miss Albaâs orders. Iâm just a messenger.â
âI still have to thank you.â
âDo you have any questions? If you donât, Iâll take my leave.â
âRight, Old Sir, this is the first time I am participating in a large auction. Is there anything i should take note of?â David asked.
Mick did not ask how many times David participated.
Since Miss Alba brought David here, this had nothing to do with Mick.
âMaster David, just as the name suggests, this is an event where they will auction off many goods. The organizer will take out an item and then explain its use and function. If you think. itâs useful to you, you can participate in the bidding. The other guests who need the same thing as you will also bid on it. The person who offers the highest price will get it in the end Itâs that easy,â Mick explained.
âAre there any restrictions? For example, is there a price limit? Or will they check if the bidder has the money?â David continued asking.
âMaster David, youâre hilarious. Everyone who receives an invitation to enter the auction is very prestigious and commands respect. Itâs impossible for them to bid for an item but have no money to pay. They canât afford to humiliate themselves like that Even if something like this happens to the youngsters, the forces behind them will still send the money over in time Therefore, there arenât any restrictions.â
âYouâre saying I can keep bidding?â David asked, feeling overjoyed.
âMaster David, Miss Alba brought you here, so I think you have a pretty high status and wonât bid maliciously. The treasures for this auction cost a lot. If you donât have the money for them, not only will you be humiliated, even Miss Alba will be implicated Also, Treasure Trove had prepared for this auction for many years, so there canât be any accidents,â Mick advised quickly.
He was worried that David would cause trouble at the auction.
If he did not have the money for the items he bid on, it would be troublesome.
The key was that they did not know who David was, so this was an unknown element.
âIâll go ask Miss Alba later.â
âI got it. I can bid on whatever I want if I have the money.â
âYes, butâ¦â Mick pondered for a while but in the end, he did not say anything.
He added in his heart, âYouâre so young. How much money do you have?
âEven if youâre from a big family or youâre a direct descendant from a major force, you will have a limited amount of money, right?â
There would not be a lot of young people coming to large auctions like this. Instead, it would usually be the person in charge of the force.
After all, it involved a lot of money.
A lot of the treasures here could improve the forceâs overall strength by a lot.
Thus, they would need to risk something to bid on them.
Even if the young person was a direct descendant or an heir, they usually could not make the decision.
âDonât worry, Old Sir. I will control myself. Miss Fellowes and Treasure Trove trust me, so how could I cause trouble?â David said.
He could tell why Mick was worried.
âWell then, I hope you find something you like at this auction. If thereâs nothing else, I wonât disturb you anymore,â Mick bid his farewell.
He still needed to go to Miss Alba to confirm Davidâs identity.
âThank you! Bye!â
