The butterfly, caught up in the yawn, casually waved its hand without a second thought.

In VIP Room No. 1, Zhou Zheng and Liu Xingxing.

Two men and one woman sat side by side on a rosewood chair.

When "Plum Blossom 2" appeared on stage, Zhou Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly and a meaningful smile appeared on his lips.

He turned to the woman beside him and said in an admiring tone:

"Plum Blossom City truly lives up to its reputation as the most open city. It's no exaggeration to say that it's always ready to welcome residents of Paradise Island. We, the Block City, are far inferior."

The woman smiled back, glancing at the items upstairs, a strange glint in her eyes.

As a formal resident of the City of Plum Blossoms, she naturally knew that a single "Plum Blossom 2" had no value.

In the City of Plum Blossoms, "Plum Blossom 2" cards are everywhere. Anyone who gets a "Plum Blossom 2" card will go to the main city to get a share.

However, the City of Plum Blossoms is currently in a special period. If the player of the Plum Blossoms suit gets this card, that's fine. But if the player of another suit gets it, then they will have a reason to enter the main city.

She originally intended to buy back the card on behalf of the City of Plum Blossoms, but the man's words undoubtedly put her in a difficult position.

If she continues to do this, she will lose face in front of outsiders.

Zhou Zheng, however, maintained his flawless expression, as if what he had just said was purely out of praise and admiration.

"Since the City of Plum Blossoms is sincerely opening its doors to everyone, we should also give our support."

The man continued speaking, while subtly gesturing to Liu Xingxing beside him.

Receiving the signal, Liu Xingxing's sharp gaze swept across the room, and she raised the number plate in her hand, breaking the silence.

3,000.

"Great! Our VIP in room number 1 has offered 3,000 yuan! It seems this VIP is very interested in this item! Are there any higher bids?"

Auctioneer Susan immediately set the pace and created a lively atmosphere in the room.

After the first bid, others made a few more bids here and there.

However, people's willingness to buy "Plum Blossom 2" was not high, so the initiative quickly returned to Liu Xingxing's hands.

3,900.

After the price was announced, the surrounding area fell silent.

In the eyes of those who can afford this amount of money, a "Plum Blossom 2" worth over 3,000 is already far beyond its original value.

Susan started the countdown.

"Okay, 3,900 yuan per time! 3,900 yuan for two times!"

All eyes were focused on the auctioneer's gavel, awaiting the final fall.

Everyone thought the deal would eventually be made.

Just as Susan was about to bring down the gavel, a loud voice suddenly rang out: "4,000!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a man in black robes raising a number plate in his hand.

The sudden appearance of the mysterious person immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Surprised, everyone wondered which scoundrel would be willing to pay such a high price for a card that was practically useless.

Susan was slightly taken aback, but quickly regained her professional smile.

She looked at Chuanliu, nodded in approval, and then raised the auction hammer again, ready to start a new round of bidding.

Zhou Zheng sat in VIP room number 1, his unwavering smile faltering for a moment, but quickly returned to normal.

He hadn't expected anyone to intervene at this moment, disrupting their original plan. However, he didn't show any panic, simply signaling Liu Xingxing to continue bidding.

Upon receiving the message, Liu Xingxing raised her number plate again without hesitation: "5,000!"

Even though each additional charge should only be 100, the two of them increased the price by 1,000 each time.

The two bidders went back and forth, the price steadily climbing, each bid intensifying the tension in the room. Every fluctuation in the bid was like a small flame igniting, making the hearts of everyone present pound.

A hint of schadenfreude flashed in the eyes of the woman from Plum Blossom City who shared a room with her, but she quickly regained her composure. Although this mysterious person was going against Zhou Zheng, he might not necessarily be from her Plum Blossom City.

The woman beckoned to her henchmen behind her and whispered a few words to them.

The younger brother nodded in acknowledgment and then quietly slipped out.

The woman knew she needed to make some moves.

At this moment, Liu Xingxing's bid caused another uproar among the crowd, as the price far exceeded their expectations.

However, the mysterious man did not give up and raised his sign again: "6,000 yuan!"

The voice was firm and powerful, as if the person was determined to win the item.

Zhou Zheng sat quietly in the VIP room, his eyes fixed on the mysterious person who had suddenly appeared.

His fingers gently turned the ring, as if he were pondering a solution, or perhaps trying to figure out the mysterious man's identity.

Liu Xingxing glanced at Zhou Zheng, who gently shook his head, indicating that he should not raise the price any further.

Silence fell over the venue once again.

Zhou Zheng and Liu Xingxing did not bid again, seemingly waiting for the mysterious person's next move; the other bidders were also shocked by the price, and no one dared to raise their paddles easily.

Susan spoke up at the opportune moment, "6,000 yuan once! 6,000 yuan twice! 6,000 yuan three times! Sold! Congratulations to this mysterious VIP for winning the 'Two of Clubs' for 6,000 yuan!"

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the mysterious man suddenly approached the booth and said, "I want to pay and take delivery now."

As he spoke, the mysterious man took out the memory card.

The assistant quickly ran up to the stage to help with the payment and then handed over the "2 of Clubs" ticket.

After the mysterious man put the card away, he was about to leave through the corridor.

Suddenly, four or five people blocked his way. The one in the lead was the henchman of the woman from Plum Blossom City.

The henchman acted swiftly, blocking the mysterious man at the entrance to the passageway, his tone carrying an undeniable force:

"Hello, our master would like to have a talk with you."

The mysterious man's whereabouts had already attracted much attention, and this sudden turn of events has drawn everyone's attention even further.

The murmurs in the room gradually subsided, and everyone watched the spectacle with schadenfreude.

Having offended the VIPs in the lounge, this kid won't be leaving here alive...

Faced with his underling's threat, the mysterious man calmly responded:

"Sorry, I'm busy."

The underling's face darkened, and he turned to signal to his men, who immediately prepared to move forward and arrest the man.

The group quickly surrounded the mysterious man, attempting to subdue him.

However, the mysterious man nimbly dodged several times.

As the group surrounded them, the mysterious man suddenly pointed behind them and shouted:

"Look!"

The group instinctively turned around to look, but the next second they realized they had been tricked.

With a loud "bang," a thick plume of smoke rose up in front of the mysterious man.

When the group emerged from the thick smoke, the mysterious figure had vanished without a trace.
