The middle-aged man sensed the strength emanating from Duan Gujin and his expression changed slightly.
He hurriedly asked, "What do you an by this?"
"I an nothing offensive, I just want to tell you that with my strength, I am fully capable of freely entering Hundred Saints Mountain! These two Dark Weapons were found by in a cave of a Devil Clan on Hundred Saints Mountain. It took a lot of effort to completely defeat that Devil Clan, and afterwards, I found these treasures in their cave! I know these treasures were carried by so experts in the past, but those experts had failed at Hundred Saints Mountain, and their possessions fell into the hands of the Devil Clan! Rest assured, the origins of these two Dark Weapons are quite clean! I think even if the Major Sects find out, there will be no issue!"
Duan Gujin said.
"I don't an that, you misunderstood! We have a rule that any treasure lost for over a hundred years, and not acquired through malicious ans, becos ownerless by default. Even if the previous owners of these two treasures co forward, as long as they can't prove your acquisition was malicious, you hold the right to auction these two treasures!"
The middle-aged man explained.
Duan Gujin had seen the auction rules on the Jiuzhou Continent before; he knew that so auctions explicitly state that if a treasure has been lost for over a hundred years and the previous owners don't have sufficient evidence to prove the treasure was stolen maliciously, the auction has the right to sell the treasure.
The two treasures Duan Gujin now possessed had been lost for over a hundred years, and their owners had vanished with them.
Thus, the auction was fully entitled to sell these two treasures.
The two treasures that Duan Gujin now presented were those lost treasures eligible for auction.
"So, how would you like to auction them?"
The person in charge imdiately asked.
"I want you to issue a notice, inviting those potential wealthy experts."
Duan Gujin said indifferently.
He knew that although this thod could invite experts interested in the two treasures to bid, he would have to pay a significant commission.
"If you decide to do this, once successful, our auction will take a fifteen percent commission! That's the industry standard!"
The middle-aged man hurriedly said.
"I'm aware of the industry standard, please start imdiately! I need the auction done within five days!"
Duan Gujin said.
"Very well! You — take care of our esteed guest's items right now!"
The person in charge imdiately instructed the female attendant to collect all the treasures, after which he gave Duan Gujin a receipt.
Right then, the person in charge summoned the auction's elders, and after letting the elder review everything to ensure there were no issues, they imdiately discussed the next steps.
"So that young man is a True Disciple of the Blood Killing Sect, it seems we can't act against him!"
"It's okay! We'll just ambush him on the road!"
The person in charge said.
"You must first clarify the young man's background thoroughly, and make sure nobody from the Blood Killing Sect realizes that he was killed by us!"
The elder spoke solemnly.
"Elder, rest assured, I will be careful!"
After letting the elder leave, the person in charge started to brainstorm rapidly.
After a while, he concocted a response strategy.
That night, he imdiately sent people to investigate Duan Gujin's residence.
AINSERT: Type of content that should appear here (travel details, requests, etc.)
After discovering Duan Gujin's residence, he instructed his subordinates to investigate the individuals around Duan Gujin.
A day later, his subordinates reported that during the days they had been trailing Duan Gujin, he had been secluded in a room in the courtyard, with no one accompanying him.
"It seems that the Inner Sect Disciple of the Blood Killing Sect is acting alone!"
Relieved by this information, the middle-aged man pondered for a mont and quickly thought of a way to take possession of all the treasures Duan Gujin brought to the auction.
"To get rich, one must be ruthless!"
The middle-aged man took a deep breath, imdiately instructing his subordinates to find so assassins outside and offered a high reward for the assassin who could kill Duan Gujin.
"All these treasures will be mine!"
Looking at Duan Gujin's treasures in the room, a cold glint flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes.
At this mont, Duan Gujin, staying in a guest room in the city's inn, closed his eyes and extended his Divine Sense, detecting two spies.
His Spiritual Power was impressive, and he overheard the two spies discussing reporting back to the president.
Hearing the spies' conversation, Duan Gujin instantly beca suspicious, pondering for a while as he couldn't recall offending anyone significant in this city.
After one of the spies left, Duan Gujin imdiately decided to capture the remaining spy decisively.
After catching the spy, he forcibly read the spy's mories.
The spy had t with the middle-aged man several tis and also knew about so of the misdeeds the middle-aged man had committed. Only then did Duan Gujin learn that the auction president was in a tight spot and needed to amass so wealth by any ans.
The president conducted a simple investigation on those bringing items for auction, and if there wasn't a significant force behind the auctioneer, the president would arrange for their items to be seized directly and taken for his own.
"I never expected to encounter such a rogue!"
Knowing these insider details, Duan Gujin sneered inwardly.
He had participated in many auctions before, but this was the first ti he saw a president of an auction investigating the details of an auctioneer and then deciding whether to seize the prized items.
Duan Gujin took a deep breath, and then he set up a trap in the spy's room.
Waiting in the room for the other spy to return, the other spy who had reported the gathered intelligence to the president imdiately returned.
Seeing the other spy appear, Duan Gujin swiftly acted and captured the other spy.
This ti, he replicated his earlier actions and forcibly read the other spy's mories, learning more secrets about the auction president.
"He is truly a beast in human clothing!"
Having read from the other spy's mories not only about the forceful seizing of treasures but also about the president's atrocities, Duan Gujin thought to eliminate the president and rid the community of this nace.
After so contemplation, Duan Gujin finally ca up with a plan.
He slightly organized his thoughts, then had the second captured spy write a letter. The spy controlled by Duan Gujin imdiately wrote an urgent letter to the president, urging him to rush here.
