The auction ca to an end, and Qin Tian and Dongfang Haoyue were ushered into a private transaction room.
Soft lights glowed above, with a sturdy tal table in the center displaying all the items the two had won.
A transmission crystal with faint golden hues lay quietly in a brocade box, engraved within were Golden Level Martial Techniques and Magic.
Several exquisitely carved jade boxes emitted a faint Spiritual Qi, with the essence of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures subtly seeping through the box seams.
A completely black Storm Handgun was placed on the outermost side, and the Silver Guard remained that faceless silver humanoid statue, with a cold tallic sheen on its surface.
Beside it stood a cannon with a gleaming barrel and a coiled miniature ch, among other things.
The two stepped forward to inspect each item, and after confirming there were no issues, they moved on to the paynt process.
In this auction, Qin Tian spent nearly thirty billion.
His personal funds were naturally insufficient to cover such a huge amount, but as the actual controller of Lingfeng Trading Company, it was not difficult to transfer over twenty billion from the company’s account, though it required going through so procedures.
"I’ll first pay a deposit of one billion, and settle the remaining amount within two days, is that okay?" Qin Tian looked at the staff mber beside him.
"Of course, General Qin."
The staff’s face displayed just the right amount of smile, with a respectful tone.
General Qin.
Upon hearing this title, Qin Tian’s eyes shifted slightly.
It seed that from the mont he stepped into the auction house, Christie’s had already figured out his background.
This level of intelligence truly befits a top-tier auction house reputation.
"I’ll do the sa, first pay a deposit of ten billion, and settle the remaining amount in installnts." Dongfang Haoyue imdiately followed up.
Hundreds of billions was not millions, even for the well-founded Holy Blood Clan, mobilizing such a large fund required layer upon layer of approval.
Christie’s Auction House was well aware and naturally agreed without hesitation.
Of course, the main reason for their quick agreent was their trust in these distinguished guests.
Those who could step into this auction were either wealthy or noble, either from the direct lineage of the top families or authorities wielding significant power.
If these people dared to default on their paynts, their face in the entire upper circle would be completely lost.
That is a price no one is willing to bear.
After Qin Tian and Dongfang Haoyue transferred their respective deposits and signed the legally binding transaction contract, they left the auction house with their personal treasures.
"Where are you planning to go next? Want to drop by the Dongfang Clan?" Dongfang Haoyue walked alongside Qin Tian, smiling as he suggested.
Qin Tian shook his head, gazing into the distance: "No, my vacation ti is limited, I want to explore Royal star more. Later, I plan to take a look around the vicinity of the palace."
The Empire’s palace, celebrated as one of the ten miracles of the Cosmos, is the most magnificent and awe-inspiring architectural complex in the universe.
The last ti he ca to Royal star was for a report, and he was in such a rush that he had no ti to see anything else.
This ti, he was determined to witness that legendary palace’s splendor firsthand.
"Alright, then I won’t keep you." Dongfang Haoyue smiled, suddenly stopping in his tracks, his expression becoming serious, "Qin Tian, I know, you’re going to et Ming Yue next. However, you should be aware of my and Ming Yue’s current situation."
He paused, his voice deepening a few shades: "Protect her, please."
"Okay."
Qin Tian nodded lightly, his response succinct yet firm.
The calm steadiness in his gaze seed to have a certain power, instantly putting Dongfang Haoyue at ease.
"Let’s go! I’ll co to find you on Mingwang Planet after a while."
Dongfang Haoyue waved his hand, discreetly scanning the area behind him before turning to board his exclusive flying device. With the engine humming, the flying device turned into a stream of light and quickly disappeared into the sky.
After Dongfang Haoyue left, Qin Tian also summoned a civilian flying device, gave the space station coordinates, and watched as the vehicle ascended steadily, heading towards its destination.
After the two left, in a hidden corner not far away, Leng Qianjun watched the flying device’s vanishing trace before turning to his sister Leng Xiaoyu: "Who was that person next to Dongfang Haoyue? Do you know them?"
"I don’t know." Leng Xiaoyu shook her head, then furrowed her brow, "Brother, I’m just puzzled, why have I been seeing Dongfang Haoyue representing the Dongfang Clan at various occasions recently? Just by his na, you know he’s from a side branch; why is he more valued than the core direct lineage?"
"I find it strange too." Leng Qianjun frowned slightly, speaking in a low voice, "Logically, a side branch mber, no matter how much emphasis they get, shouldn’t have such significant influence. But this Dongfang Haoyue, his prominence even surpasses several core direct lineage mbers of the Dongfang Family, which is quite abnormal."
Leng Xiaoyu’s eyes suddenly sparkled, moving closer, excitent filling her voice: "Hey, brother, do you think... he might be the secret son of the Dongfang Clan Leader? Because of the disgraceful origin, he can only hold a side branch title, and now the Dongfang Clan Leader plans to acknowledge him, hence specifically bringing him to the forefront?"
Bam—
Leng Qianjun lightly knocked on her head, looking at her speechlessly: "Can you stop reading those brainless lodramatic novels? Your brain is almost getting stupid. Do you consider the Holy Blood Clan as the Royal Family? As long as it’s the clan leader’s legitimate son, even if the clan leader himself doesn’t wish to acknowledge, the Elder Council would actively bring him into the direct lineage for nurturing, there’s no need to hide or obscure."
He paused: "Besides, even if it’s the Royal Family, only the imperial lineage strictly demands their descendants. Other royal branches and our Holy Blood Clan are alike, each mber possessing pure blood is treated like treasures. What you described would never happen."
