Looking at the sudden appearance of a large amount of gold coins in front of her, Kelsey couldn’t help but be stunned. Having grown up in Sanders’ Trading Conference, she could naturally tell at a glance the approximate quantity of Gold Dragons in the room.
“There must be at least two million…”
As she thought of this, shocked, Kelsey’s slender eyelashes fluttered and she couldn’t help but swallow her saliva.
Without a doubt, this kind of cash reserve far exceeded the range of ordinary nobles and wealthy merchants.
“How about that? Is this enough?”
With a faint smile, Leo Ray waved his hand again, and the large luxurious room was immediately restored to its previous state.
“That’s enough, Your Excellency, you really are very wealthy.”
On the other hand, Kelsey replied sarcastically, secretly thinking: “Hmph, what’s so great about that? There are many rich people here this time, the real nobles are measured by their family heritage!
For instance, Tier 3 and above equipment and Magic Medicine are not something that can easily be bought with just money!
I’m afraid this so-called important person hasn’t even seen what these precious items look like, right?
In the end, he’s nothing more than a talented country bumpkin just wanting to see a big scene.”
Thinking of this, Kelsey’s pretty face couldn’t help but show a touch of smug satisfaction.
She then continued, “Anyway, since the requirement has been met, the invitation is naturally no problem. Once we return to the trading conference, I will arrange it.”
“Thank you.”
Upon hearing this, Linda nodded slightly and frowned, “Kelsey, the auction is starting this afternoon, what are you messing around in town for at this time?”
“Linda doesn’t know.”
On the other side, Kelsey’s delicate face revealed a touch of sadness as she explained, “Because of this auction, our Viennas City Sanders’ Trading Conference is one of the organizers.
As a result, in addition to the already-confirmed precious auction items, we need to prepare some ordinary auction items to warm up the atmosphere. The direct members of our family have started playing their tricks with this.” Next, through Kelsey’s description, Leo Ray learned.
It turned out that the direct members of the city’s Sanders family, in order to push Kelsey’s father out of the position of conference president, deliberately held a competition within the trading conference.
They used the number of collected auction items to determine the selection of the next Viennas City president, and through some means, obtained the approval of the current Sanders family head, Grand Duke Harrison.
“Originally, Lord Mongoose, the owner of the clothing store, had planned to entrust a Tier 2 top-quality Magic Medicine, as an auction item, to our branch family.
But in the end, he turned his back at the last minute, secretly handing it over to those direct members! To think that Lord Mongoose had once received my father’s kindness, and yet he proved to be so ungrateful!”
As she spoke, an emotionally agitated Kelsey, who was sitting on a luxurious sofa, went so far as to grip the wooden armrest next to her, leaving a deep indentation.
Amidst the splinters flying, she continued, “What’s most crucial is that in the beginning, after our efforts, we had nearly equal numbers of collected auction items with those direct members.
However, today my father and I discovered that those despicable people had been secretly doing a series of actions, using both threats and incentives.
They pried away a portion of the auction items to their side. With this, the number we in the branch family collected is now much less than the direct members…
“Kelsey, are you saying that your father’s position as president might be in danger?
Hearing this, Linda’s face displayed a worried expression, and then she looked at Leo Ray who was leisurely drinking tea nearby.
On the other side, Leo Ray put down the delicate teacup in his hand, and then asked, “What are the requirements for an item to become an auction item?”
“At least it has to be a Tier 1 Magic Medicine or a Tier 2 equipment crafted by a master.”
With a sigh, Kelsey responded, “These items are extremely precious, ordinary civilians might not see one in their whole lives, they’re not something that can easily be taken out. “Upon hearing this, Leo Ray couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows slightly.
Well, he had been worrying about not having the chance to drive the direct descendants out of Viennas City, but now, they had taken the initiative to come to him.
“Take me to your Sanders’ Trading Conference. I might be able to turn the tide in your favor.”
After taking another sip of the steaming aromatic tea, Leo Ray spoke nonchalantly.
“Your Excellency, you’d better not get involved and make things worse.”
Kelsey curled her lips and continued, “The number of auction items we are behind the direct descendants is not just a few, but dozens!
Unless they are backed by the powerful and profound nobles in the nearby area, it is impossible for anyone to have that kind of strength.”
“Kelsey, like I said before, this gentleman’s power is far beyond your imagination. Just lead the way.”
Hearing this, Linda’s eyebrows slightly furrowed.
“Linda, I know this man must be a big customer of your Cyan Town branch.
However, that place is too remote…”
Having said that, Kelsey shook her head helplessly and continued to address Leo Ray, “Fine, let’s go. But I must make it clear in advance,
the direct descendants of our family are much more ruthless than me, and all of them are cunning and deceitful characters.
BV then, if things 20 wrong, don’t blame me for not warning you, Your
Excellency.”
Thus, under Kelsey’s guidance, it didn’t take long for Leo Ray and his companions to pass through several bustling streets and arrive at the entrance of the Viennas City Sanders’ Trading Conference.
The Trading Conference was located in the most prosperous golden area of the southern part of the city, with a facade at least three times larger than that of the Cyan Town Trading Conference.
Under the dazzling sunlight, the five ancient, light golden characters of “Sanders’ Trading Conference” shone brilliantly. Beside it, the Golden Deer Emblem appeared lifelike and imposing.
“Greetings to Miss Kelsey!”
Upon seeing Kelsey’s figure, a team of trading conference guards on the left side immediately bowed and opened the door for the group.
The right side, however, seemed as if they hadn’t seen anything, acting completely indifferent.
Seeing this, Leo Ray couldn’t help but curl his lips, secretly thinking, “Well, they really do split the city’s direct descendant forces evenly, with half and half for guards as well?”
Next, under the guidance of Linda, Leo Ray and his companions walked directly into the gate of the Sanders’ Trading Conference.
During this process, since the Illusion Cloaks were only effective for Tier 3 Powerhouses.
Therefore, to avoid accidents, Leo Ray left the werewolf tribe girl, Bianca White, and Scarlett outside.
In this way, if an emergency arises, the two can also serve as a trump card.
Upon entering the lavish and magnificent hall, Leo Ray noticed.
At this moment, the bustling hall was filled with crowds, and the noise level was high.
It was also divided into two almost identical business areas.
However, it was evident that the side that saluted Kelsey was noticeably less crowded compared to the other side.
Most people either held an exquisite brocade box or a sharp weapon, apparently registering for auction items.
“Oh, isn’t that our Miss Kelsey?”
Just as Leo Ray observed this, a mocking voice rang out.
A young male noble with a handsome yet somewhat pale face, accompanied by a group of followers, swaggered over from the opposite office area..
