When Supa had walked over to one of the high-back chairs and sat down, Xia Jinyuan and the other six had already quickly exchanged glances.
Although Lin Feng hadn’t introduced his identity, but now that he sat onto the golden chair, there was no need to introduce him to know about his sensitive identity.
Lin Feng intentionally slowed his steps, while the ‘Black Pearl’ who was holding his arm seemed to have delivered her customer to his seat, then left with a smile.
After she left, Lin Feng uttered quietly: “You guys stand behind, don’t all leave at the same time when you act, two can leave at most, it’ll be too obvious if more than that left.
If they want to verify whether or not the scientists were inside the wooden cabinet, naturally, they’ll have to act.
Ye Jian, K7, the two of them are responsible for executing the plan, until after the lights are dimmed, then they’ll start.
Xia Jinyuan, Ye Jian, and Z7 sat down beside Lin Feng; Lin Feng lowered his head. “It’s nearly 10, and there aren’t any bigshots coming over; it’s probably going to be a small auction tonight, and the stolen goods being sold tonight are either not much or not expensive; maybe we’re the ones that overcomplicated it.”
“If there was a huge attack, there would be more people, and the security would be tighter. There were lots of attacks last month, and even some foreigners had come over, without Supa around; I don’t even have the qualifications to come in here.”
Lin Feng said this spectacle wasn’t huge enough, but in Ye Jian’s eyes, it was already quite a spectacle, bad and good people mixed together, old and young, male and female, white and black people as well.
Ten o’clock sharp, a Caucasian man in a suit walked down, “Bang bang bang bang…” the gavel knocked on the table, reminding everyone that today’s auction had started.
“Ladies! Gentlemen! Our auction today has officially started; I hope all of you can bid the items you desire to your heart’s content!” The Caucasian man’s capable and loud voice reached the ears of every bidder in the auction house.
The audience quietened down instantly; on the sides, all the lights were switched off, leaving behind a bright yet blinding light shining on the auction table.
The Caucasian man cleared his throat, his loud voice continued, he spoke in fluent Arabic, “Alright! Now let’s start with today’s first item, it is a painting and is named <Leda and the Swan>, I trust everyone here knows its painter, that’s right! He is our greatest artist, da Vinci.”
After a brief pause, the Caucasian man continued: “I know, some ladies and gentlemen would ask, wasn’t this painting lost? How is it appearing here? That’s right, it is right here! And I can be sure that this painting is authentic!”
“Right now, this painting’s starting price is 1 million US dollars, each increment is 200 thousand, gentlemen! Just think about it, if this was really that lost original painting, then its value would be far more than 1 million dollars! Don’t miss this opportunity!”
“1.2 million!” The brief silence was shattered quickly; the auction house was the same as a casino most of the time; besides requiring a large amount of funds, being able to see the object, more often than not, it is also a game of luck. Meanwhile, the bidders in the auction house were like a crowd of gamblers tossing their money in and frequently battle amongst themselves to get an item.
“1.4 million!”
“2 million!”
……
The bidding price was being refreshed non-stop, and in the end, it was sold with a price of 3.5 million to an African man with a mysterious background.
Ye Jian and K7 had already left without a trace; even Lin Feng didn’t notice it, until after four brawny African men pushed out a large metal cave covered in red wick, the whole area was filled with piercing whistling.
“Red represents women; a woman would be auctioned off next.” Lin Feng turned his head, telling Ye Jian about it, but when he turned over to look… the special forces soldier who sat on Ye Jian’s side was already sitting beside him.
While Ye Jian had left without anyone knowing when.
