La forgeronne d'un autre monde

Chapitre 173

"Sir..." the pretty girl murmured, tears welling in her eyes.

"Go ahead, I need to rest," Ma Yunteng said with a slight smile.

The pretty girl put the banknotes into her bag and looked at Ma Yunteng with a puzzled expression. What kind of fetish does this guy have?

Did you spend 100,000 yuan just to get a new bra that fits properly?

However, since Ma Yunteng had let her go, she felt embarrassed to linger there, so she thanked him again and walked towards the door.

Ma Yunteng originally wanted to give her more money, but he was worried that this kind of girl would be blinded by money, so he only gave her 100,000 yuan.

Besides, I didn't do anything to her...

"I guess I did a good deed!" Ma Yunteng thought to himself.

After the girl left, Ma Yunteng lay back down on the bed, his mind racing with thoughts about tomorrow's auction.

According to the King's previous introduction, this auction will feature three items: a longevity elixir, the island of Giraavaru, and a painting depicting a hundred birds paying homage to the phoenix.

Two of them are from China.

"System, do I have to spend money to buy the cultural relics at this auction?" Ma Yunteng really didn't want to spend money at this auction, after all, the cultural relics originally belonged to China!

He planned to just rob it!

Although I have a lot of money, I don't want to give it to those foreigners.

It is only right and proper for China's treasures to be taken back from overseas!

"As long as the host can ensure that the cultural relics are returned to China, that's fine," the system said.

"OK!"

Hearing the system's reply, Ma Yunteng became more determined: he would go straight for the auction tomorrow!

After a brief video chat with Lin Shike, Ma Yunteng drifted off to sleep.

Nothing was said that night.

Eight o'clock the next morning.

Ma Yunteng woke up early, hailed a taxi, and headed towards the auction venue.

According to information obtained by Ma Yunteng, the auction was held at a seven-star hotel in Dubai.

When Ma Yunteng arrived at the hotel, he found that the hotel parking lot was crowded with all kinds of luxury cars, and some people even arrived in private jets.

"This auction is the biggest ever, and I hear a lot of big shots have come." Ma Yunteng walked past a group of businessmen in suits and heard many people discussing the auction.

"That's something! Even members of the Dubai royal family have been alarmed. That longevity pill is said to be able to cure the king's illness, so many hostile forces are eager to get their hands on it!"

"This is nothing! This auction will also feature a priceless treasure, reportedly the very famous 'Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix' painting, the only authentic one in the world! It has extremely high collectible value!"

"I think there's also a Jeju Island, but that's something only rich people dare to film. Let's just come and watch the show!"

Along the way, Ma Yunteng heard all sorts of opinions. Everyone was very much looking forward to the auction. From them, Ma Yunteng learned that the auction had attracted many wealthy people.

The group quickly entered the auction hall.

The venue was a large conference room on the first floor of the hotel. Before the auction even started, thousands of business owners had already squeezed in.

Of course, among these business owners, the gap between the rich and the poor is still very obvious.

Most business owners sat in the back of the room to watch the show, while only the truly wealthy and powerful dared to sit in the front row.

Ma Yunteng glanced around the venue and then walked towards the front row.

After walking to the first row, I sat down in the seat on the far right.

People entered one after another, and ten minutes later, only ten people were sitting in the first row. These ten people were all prominent figures in Dubai, and one of them was even a member of the Dubai royal family.

All ten people were dressed in extremely luxurious clothes, and even a single piece of jewelry on them cost millions.

Ma Yunteng was wearing an elegant suit, and his attire was not much different from the others.

However, there is one thing that makes him stand out from the crowd!

Of the ten people in the front row, apart from him, the other nine were all big bosses who looked to be in their fifties. Young people like Ma Yunteng were tactful and sat in the back row.

Ma Yunteng's current situation can even be described as standing out from the crowd.

"Damn, who is that young man? How dare he sit in the front row?"

"The people sitting in the first row are big bosses in their fifties, any one of them is worth billions."

"Yeah, it's ridiculous that a young person would dare to sit in the front row."

"The wealth accumulated by young people is nowhere near that of those big shots; this guy doesn't even understand the basic rules."

"Let's see how he makes a fool of himself later!"

To everyone else, Ma Yunteng is just a young man.

In Dubai, where money reigns supreme, it's considered a cardinal sin for a young man to sit next to a wealthy businessman in his fifties!

The auction began soon after.

Ma Yunteng noticed that dozens of armed security personnel were standing around the entire auction venue, which showed how much importance the auction organizers attached to this auction.
