Chapter 1124: Chapter 1122 Auctioning the Copper Fragnt
One quiet night passed, and in the morning, when Mada Daphne woke up, there was an extra breakfast on the table.
Though it was just simple soy milk and fried dough sticks, Daphne had never had it before and found it surprisingly delicious, even licking her fingers at the end.
“Is it really that good?” Wang Dadong was surprised.
“Uh…” At that mont, Daphne rembered Wang Dadong was watching the whole ti, and her face flushed slightly.
“Have you thought about what to do with this thing?” Wang Dadong saw Daphne was a bit embarrassed and changed the topic.
Daphne nodded, then took the pendant off from her chest and handed it to Wang Dadong, saying, “Can I let you keep it for ?”
Wang Dadong did not take the pendant imdiately but asked, “I suppose you’ve seen its effects. With it, you essentially have an extra life. Are you sure you want to give it to ?”
In life, dangers are everywhere. In a way, this copper box fragnt is like a heaven-defying treasure.
Actually, Daphne was reluctant to give away such a treasure, but she knew her own abilities. She couldn’t keep such a treasure.
“Yes, but I have one condition,” Daphne said.
“What condition?”
“You personally escort
back ho.” Surprisingly, there was a hint of expectation in Daphne’s eyes.
Wang Dadong thought for a mont, then nodded, “Okay, I will escort you back ho.”
Actually, even if Daphne hadn’t made this request, Wang Dadong would have done so. Before Daphne woke up, he had already received Hao Wentao’s task directive—to rescue Daphne and safely escort her out of Huaxia.
If soone as famous as Daphne were to be hard in Huaxia, it would certainly bring a lot of negative impact to the country, so the state was very attentive to this matter.
In order for Wang Dadong to accept this task, Hao Wentao spent a huge price, promising Long Qiuyu a period of leave.
Now Wang Dadong had successfully rescued Daphne, and all that was left was to safely send her back to Arica.
“But before that, we have to release so news,” Wang Dadong pondered for a mont and said.
“What news?”
“You’re going to hold a private auction.”
Daphne looked at Wang Dadong, puzzled about what he ant.
“I can’t keep this thing either. It has to be transferred to soone capable,” Wang Dadong said.
“Who has that capability?” Daphne asked.
Wang Dadong chuckled lightly, “You’ll know when the ti cos.”
The next day, the news spread that Daphne was going to hold a private auction.
Rumor had it that a priceless treasure would be auctioned at this event, which imdiately attracted a lot of attention.
“Boss, I don’t actually have to attend this auction, right?” At the auction entrance, Wang Dadong said with a bit of distress.
Unexpectedly, for Daphne’s private auction, the Female CEO was also attending and insisted on bringing him along.
“No way, you’re a shareholder of Shiyan now. How can you miss it? Last ti Mada Daphne showed
such favor by personally inviting
to dine, so if possible, I’d like to bid on Mada Daphne’s auction item,” Lin Shiyan said seriously.
Wang Dadong imdiately understood the Female CEO’s intention; she wanted to show goodwill to Daphne.
Indeed, winning Daphne’s auction item at a high price would be the best chance to show goodwill.
Actually, besides the Female CEO, Qu Corporation and Qiao Corporation had the sa idea.
In the end, Wang Dadong had no choice but to follow the Female CEO into the auction site, realizing that if he dared not go, she would start discussing his absence from ho last night or talk about Lin Xiao and their resignation issues.
Getting caught by the Female CEO was really unpleasant; soday he must use his own leverage to correct her shortcomings.
“I believe I don’t need to introduce Mada Daphne further, so today, we mainly introduce the item she is auctioning, a pendant she acquired at an auction. It’s the most mysterious among Mada Daphne’s many treasures…”
“Enough with the chatter, just tell us, what’s the starting price!” Many people seed impatient; they ca mainly to see if they could win this item to curry favor with Daphne.
As for what the item really was, they were not interested. Even if it were just a broken copper piece, they would find a way to buy it.
The emcee nodded and said, “Alright, since everyone is so eager to know its auction price, I will now announce it…”
“Its price is… priceless!”
As soon as the emcee’s words were finished, the venue erupted in an uproar; who has ever heard of a priceless item? If it’s truly priceless, why auction it?
“Everyone, please don’t rush; let
explain. Here, priceless ans that to win it, you don’t need to spend a penny. If you believe you have the ability to possess it, you can take it away!” the emcee said.
“Haha, emcee, are you sure about that?” a boss from a third-rate company laughed and asked.
“Yes,” the emcee nodded.
“Alright, I believe I have the ability to own it!” the man said, striding towards the emcee’s table and reaching out to grab the pendant.
Whoosh!
Just then, an arrow shot through the air, piercing the man’s hand.
“Ah!”
The man clutched his hand, shrieking in pain.
This sudden turn of events shocked everyone, prompting them to glance around the room, yet they saw nothing.
Even the emcee had beads of sweat forming on his forehead.
Seeing this scene, Wang Dadong realized those people had arrived.
Soon, the person was taken away by dical personnel.
“Now, who else feels qualified to own it?” the emcee cald his fearful heart before speaking again.
“I’ll give it a try!” Several minutes later, soone finally spoke up.
The crowd turned to see a person fully encased in thick steel armor walking towards the emcee’s table.
Everyone was speechless; they didn’t expect that soone would have such equipnt.
However, just as the person’s hand was about to touch the pendant, a curved knife flew from sowhere unknown.
Clang!
With a sound of tal clashing, both the person’s arm and the outer steel vambrace were chopped off!
The severed hand fell to the ground with a thud.
Everyone’s faces showed unparalleled astonishnt, not expecting that with such thick armor protection, the person would still lose an arm.
It seed acquiring this auction item wasn’t going to be easy.
