at this time.

Inside the convention center, brightly lit and bustling with activity, a highly anticipated grand auction was being held—its first time opening its doors to the public, attracting collectors, tycoons, and connoisseurs from all over the world, each filled with longing and anticipation for rare treasures.

This auction is not only a contest of wealth and vision, but also a feast of culture and history.

The auction organizers meticulously prepared for the event, ensuring that every item underwent rigorous authentication and guaranteeing its authenticity. This undoubtedly added credibility and appeal to the event.

Among the many auction items, the most eye-catching were the three legendary beauty pills. It is said that they originated from an ancient secret recipe and have the magical effect of making people stay young and have a radiant complexion. For a time, discussions and speculations about these three pills were rampant inside and outside the venue.

In addition, the auction also announced that it will exhibit several long-lost precious porcelain pieces, each carrying profound historical significance and cultural value. Their appearance is undoubtedly a tribute to ancient craftsmanship and art, and has attracted many porcelain lovers.

The Shen family, a long-established clan, originally planned to participate in the auction and prepared a batch of priceless antiques. However, they were unfortunately robbed during transportation, causing great distress to the entire Shen family.

Even more unexpectedly, the Shen family's shrine actually appeared at this auction.

As night fell, Miss Shen, dressed in a well-tailored and dazzling evening gown, slowly entered the venue.

Her steps were elegant, her demeanor noble, yet her brows revealed an unassailable majesty and coldness.

Her appearance seemed to exert an invisible pressure on the venue, causing everyone present to involuntarily turn their attention to her.

Miss Shen's eyes flashed with determination and anger. Today's auction was of great significance to her family, especially the shrine that was about to be auctioned, which carried the honor and faith of the Shen family.

In Miss Shen's heart, she had already made a vow: today, anyone who dares to cross the bottom line of the Shen family, anyone who dares to bid for that shrine, will be an enemy of the entire Shen family and will pay a heavy price!

As a graceful waitress in a gorgeous cheongsam elegantly entered the center of the auction hall, her gentle and charming voice, like a spring breeze, opened the curtain for this grand event.

In her congratulatory message, she not only expressed a warm welcome to all the guests, but also cleverly wove the mystery and anticipation of the auction into a series of alluring pictures, making people yearn for it.

By this time, the entire venue was already packed. The guests were either dressed formally or adorned with jewels, and everyone's face was filled with curiosity and anticipation for the auction.

Among them were quite a few onlookers who were simply there to watch the spectacle. They secretly wondered who would dare to attack the Shen family's shrine in front of everyone. This courage and audacity would undoubtedly become the biggest topic of conversation today.

As the takeoff and landing machine slowly rose, everyone's attention was drawn to the center of the stage.

When the first item up for auction—the Shen family's shrine—was slowly revealed to the audience, a murmur of surprise and astonishment rippled through the hall.

The shrine is ancient and solemn, with the marks of time leaving mottled marks on it, which only adds to its mystery and solemnity.

Just then, the auctioneer returned to the stage, holding an exquisite little card, smiling, and with an undisguised excitement in her voice, began to introduce this special item in detail.

It not only tells the history of the shrine and its connection with the Shen family, but also focuses on the shocking secret hidden inside the shrine—a treasure map!

The female host explained in detail that the treasure map was hand-drawn by the ancestors of the Shen family and leads to a treasure hidden deep in the mountains and forests.

The treasure contained not only the gold and silver accumulated by the Shen family over generations, but also countless precious cultural relics and ancient books, the value of which was immeasurable.

This secret has been passed down through generations of the Shen family until today, when it has finally been revealed to the world.

What's even more fascinating is that there's an ancient legend surrounding this treasure map.

Legend has it that whoever can unlock the secret of the treasure map will find the treasure hidden by the Shen family ancestors and become a legendary figure with endless wealth overnight.

This legend undoubtedly adds a touch of mystery and allure to the treasure map, making every guest present yearn for it and eager to try their luck.

As the hostess finished speaking, the atmosphere in the hall was instantly ignited, and the guests' eyes gleamed with greed and desire.

They knew that at this moment, they were only one step away from the legendary treasure.

Miss Shen looked at the front desk and at the female host. She was waiting; if the sunset was in her hands, she would have someone kill her!

Even so, who would dare to bid!

The starting bid for the shrine is one hundred million. In this impoverished continent, who can afford one hundred million?

"Number eight has offered one hundred million!"

The female host pointed to number eight.

"It seems some people are unaware of the power of the Shen family. Go ask around in Causeway Bay how many corpses have been dumped into Hong Kong. If you want to go against the Shen family, you'd better consider the consequences."

Miss Shen spoke directly, and her first words were a threat.

Let these guys give it a try!

"What is Hong Kong? It's nothing compared to Beijing. It's not even good enough to carry my shoes."

Suddenly someone in the crowd shouted something.

Not even enough to carry shoes?

"Hehe, without the investment from our Shen family, you mainlanders would still be eating steamed buns or digging sweet potatoes in the mountains."

Miss Shen sneered.

"Add one million."

Just as Miss Shen was feeling smug, someone else offered more money.

At this moment, the butler rushed over.

"Miss, something terrible has happened! People from overseas want to buy the shrine, and several families from the mainland also want to buy it."

The situation is not good now.

Someone actually dared to buy it!

“Organizers, I suspect someone is making arbitrary bids. I propose raising the deposit so that only bidders who have received half of the bid price can raise their paddles. I request verification of funds!”

Miss Shen quickly raised her sign.

This shrine does indeed hold a secret, but it has remained unsolved for some time.

How could we possibly just stand by and watch an outsider buy it?

This thing can only belong to the Shen family.

The female host looked at Miss Shen and then whispered something to the person next to her. It was clear that she also needed to verify the information, because it wouldn't do if she couldn't afford to buy the item after the auction.

We now need to verify the funds.

Miss Shen sneered, "Now let's see what we do with those troublemakers."

One capital verification should have shut them up completely.

They're all broke but still trying to act tough; they're just a bunch of poor bastards.

They want to buy the Shen family's things?

Maybe in the next life!

It's definitely not going to happen in this lifetime. Anyone who dares to buy it, the Shen family will kill them!
