Operation: Cobra Is Back

Chapter 88 I Have to Practice

With Lennon Wilson around, of course, there was no need for attendants to lead the way. After a while,

the four finally stopped in front of the auction venue.

It turned out to be an antique three-story wooden building, and even the windows were made of paper.

A plaque was hung high on the top floor, and there were three words written on it: the Antique Attic!

The only defect was that there were eight strong men in modern security uniforms standing at the door,

a security door, and several rows of automatic storage cabinets, which looked particularly strange.

Seeing the appearance of the four people, one of the security guards came forward and said

respectfully, "Please show us your invitation cards."

Lennon Wilson immediately took out a black invitation card with gold border from his pocket and

handed it over.

The security guard took it and looked at it carefully. After making sure it was correct, he pointed to the

automatic storage cabinet next to him.

"Gentlemen, you are not allowed to bring metal objects inside. Please put the metal things in the

cabinet over there. If you lose something, we will compensate you at the original price!" Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

Duncan could not help but raise his brows when he heard this. He thought to himself, "Isn't the

underground auction too strict?"

"That's the rule here. Some people were dissatisfied before, but they were directly beaten and thrown

out. That night, his company announced bankruptcy."

Erica Wilson, who was next to Duncan, leaned over and explained in a low voice, "It is said that the

industry here belongs to a big shot in B City."

Duncan was stunned. He did not expect the boss behind the auction to be so capable.

However, he just came to join in the fun and did not say much. The four of them found a cabinet and

locked their personal metal property. After safely passing through the security door, the security guard

who checked the invitation card turned around and knocked on the closed door.

Crack!

The door opened from the inside and a young woman in a classic dress walked out. She smiled

sweetly and said, “four distinguished guests, please follow me."

Under the guidance of the young woman, they entered this antique pure wood building. Duncan could

finally see the structure inside.

A red platform was built in the middle and back of the first floor. Obviously, it was the host of the

auction.

There were more than 50 comfortable massage chairs in front of the high platform. At this time, most of

them were sitting, and the people who were close to each other were whispering something.

The second floor was divided into nine wing-rooms, with only a screen in the middle. Not to mention the

sound, even the sight could not be blocked.

Even Duncan couldn't help muttering to himself when he saw this scene at first glance, "No wonder

Kent Morris was so sarcastic before. I'm afraid that a person who wasn’t a millionaire not qualified to

enter!"

"Please wait a moment, boss. The auction is about to begin."

The waitress led them to room No. 5 on the second floor and left sweetly.

"Master, you're finally here."

At this time, the No. 6 private room, which was separated by a screen, suddenly sounded, which made

Duncan frown.

He turned around and saw Kent Morris and Zoe Miller sitting in the No. 6 private room!

In addition, there was an old scholar wearing an old-fashioned Tang suit and a pair of gold-rimmed

glasses. He held a string of black beads in his hand and looked like an old scholar.

"Ran!" Seeing the old man through the screen, Erica Wilson could not help but raise her eyebrows

slightly.

Duncan noticed Erica Wilson's strange behavior and asked curiously, "Do you know her?"

Erica Wilson nodded and replied, "He is an appraiser. There was an auction, grandpa invited him to

come back to appraise. Later, he found two fakes."

"An appraiser?" Duncan raised his eyebrows.

"After all, this is an underground auction, and all the auction items have not been tested by the

associate authority department."

Erica Wilson explained, "But the rule here is that once it is sold, it is not guaranteed. Whether it is a

fake or not depends on one's own judgment. Some people make a lot of money here, and some people

lose all their money here."

"Of course, there are still more people who make money. Some people are afraid of buying fake goods,

so they are willing to spend money to invite an appraisal expert to have a look."

"Ran is a well-known appraiser in JN City. However, my grandfather suspected that he was not honest.

He might have colluded with others and deliberately made some fakes for auction, so grandpa never

contacted him again."

Duncan nodded slightly to show his understanding, but it had nothing to do with him, so he did not say

much.

As they sat down, Duncan subconsciously looked at Lennon Wilson's old friend.

It was an old man in a Chinese tunic suit. He had white hair but a ruddy face. He was tall and straight,

and his eyes were shining. According to Lennon Wilson's introduction, his name was Mye.

At first glance, Duncan knew that Mye was not simple. He subconsciously took a deep look and found

that there was an invisible barrier blocking it. It was hazy and could not be seen clearly.

This made Duncan surprised. This old man's strength was not bad. He was actually a Silver Class

expert. At least he was a little stronger than Gilbert Hughes he had met before!

Clang!

Before the people had time to say a few polite words, a bronze gong suddenly sounded on the platform

downstairs.

A young woman in a red dress climbed onto the high platform and said that everyone had been waiting

for a long time.

"The auction begins now!"

"The first auction item of this auction is antique. The base price is $200 thousand, and each increase

should not be less than 40 thousand!"

Those who could come here must be either rich or noble. Many of them were invisible rich people from

other provinces. $200 thousand was equivalent to $200 for them.

As the antique was placed on the stage, the people below began to bid with each other without even

looking at it.

“240 thousand!"

"280 thousand!"

“……”

In fact, Lennon Wilson came here to see if there was anything valuable.

However, before he could say anything, Ran's appreciative voice came from the next room.

"Kent Morris, the 4 is a rare item. The details of the Eight Immortals are clear and its color is light and

delicate."

"Okay!"

Kent Morris nodded and joined the bidding without hesitation. "400 thousand!"

When Duncan heard this, the corner of his mouth could not help but curl into a cold smile. He had just

taken a quick look at it. In his previous life, although he had been in the mercenary world, many people

had given him a lot of good things in order to curry favor with him!

Having played for a long time, he naturally had some achievements. Moreover, he had practiced the

Eternity Scroll, so he was very sensitive to the Spirit of antiques.

Although he had just taken a look at it, it was still not difficult to tell that the 4 was a fake. It was not a

real thing at all!

It seemed that Ran has to practice more!
