[Margaret’s Perspective]
"Miss Diana, this is a personal supre VIP auction position specially prepared for you by our boss. Please have a seat. If you need anything later, just call , and I’ll be right outside the door!"
Before the attendant standing by our side could finish speaking, I gracefully walked into this lavishly decorated room, with Donald following quietly behind . Today, he was playing the role of the silent, handso companion brought by ’Diana.’"
I took the main seat in the room and, without turning my head, said, "Have your people stand back further; I can’t stand the sll of strangers around ."
These people clearly couldn’t quite grasp my fastidiousness. After exchanging glances, they respectfully uttered their assent and silently withdrew.
The door of the room was closed from the outside. I slightly turned my face towards Donald, patted the spot next to , and gestured for him to co and sit.
[How co I never knew you were so good at acting? You just wait, you’ll see what’s coming to you after this is over.] Donald communicated to via mind-link, then very ’obediently’ ca and sat down slowly.
I looked at Donald and slightly cocked my lip, pulling at his tie and planting a teasing kiss on his lips, [Of course, we have to perform a full act, otherwise how would they believe our identities? But their caras are quite brazen, aren’t they? Anyone being slightly attentive could spot them.]
I said this and then looked directly at the cara, my gaze as cold as if it could freeze soone to death.
[They do it on purpose. This is also an unwritten rule of underground auctions. The presence of caras is to monitor safety within the venue, and the footage is only for venue use and won’t be leaked outside.] Donald spoke and sat up straight, shielding entirely with his body.
I casually stroked his jaw and felt sowhat speechless about this rule, [Doesn’t this amount to a bit of ’bullying by the venue’? Do we have to keep pretending that we haven’t noticed them?]
While Donald and I were covertly communicating, music suddenly started playing outside, followed by the auctioneer warming up the audience.
[Let’s wait and see.]Donald responded while turning to look downstairs, his face mostly hidden by a mask and showing no emotions.
At that mont, I also slowly turned my head towards the host and suddenly felt that the voice sounded familiar.
"Distinguished guests, dear ladies and gentlen, the much-anticipated auction is about to begin. But first, let us welco with applause the initiator of this auction, our esteed Alpha of the Spirit Dragon Pack—Lord Levi!"
As the host’s words fell, a rustle of applause broke out, interspersed with silence from a considerably large portion of the crowd, causing the atmosphere to slightly stagnate.
Sothing occurred to , and I raised my eyebrows, intrigued, telling Donald, [It seems today’s auction will be quite interesting. It looks like not everyone is pleased with this Alpha!]
Donald didn’t respond to my comnt, just watched as the werewolf slowly made his way to the stage, his aura gradually turning colder.
Levi’s face was uncovered as he stood in front of the microphone at the auction stand, his lips curled in a casual smile. He glanced around at everyone below him before slowly beginning, "Welco everyone for taking ti out of your busy schedules to attend my auction. I won’t say more; I believe the items today will satisfy you all!"
"Oh, and another thing, during the auction, please do not leave or whisper to each other. If I find anyone violating these rules, I will assu you are disrespecting , Levi, and you really wouldn’t want to offend !"
After Levi finished, the smile on his face broadened, but his eyes were full of provocation.
I didn’t quite understand what Levi was trying to do, my brows furrowing behind my mask as a sowhat unpleasant feeling arose.
"Humph!"
At this mont, Donald scoffed lightly. I glanced at him sideways, feeling as if the disdain in the eyes of the Lycan King was about to spill out!
[He sure knows how to throw his weight around, I wonder who gave him so much courage.]
"Oh? Since when did these two rules get added to the underground auction? Why didn’t we know about them before? Levi, I advise you not to go too far. Everyone is here for what they need, Lilo Sea isn’t ruled by you alone... it is still under the jurisdiction of the Wolf royal family, you better rember that!"
"I heard that your backer in Royal City, Prince Henry, has already fallen from power? The streets are filled with warrants all bearing his na. What are you being arrogant about here? Are you wishing for a shorter life?"
Two dissenting voices quickly arose from below, revealing that not only Donald and I found Levi’s thods inappropriate, but there were also reasonable and sane people among the VIPs in the venue.
