And so, an extremely excited young lady from a prominent family, accompanied by a worried old butler, arrived in the famous Black Triangle City in the Black Triangle District.
Completely ignoring the guard's flippant remarks upon entering, he checked directly into the most expensive and rip-off restaurant in Black Triangle City, spending a fortune to book an entire floor of rooms, claiming that the rooms next door were too crowded.
"Miss, are you sure we want to be this high-profile from the start?" the commander said. "Besides, it's really too dark here. Isn't it a waste of all this money?"
"As the head steward of the Sikong family, you're being a bit petty. Think about our family's heritage; what are these things compared to that?" Dongfang Mian said reproachfully.
The commander-in-chief was speechless. "So petty. I've never even seen a door frame of this so-called Sikong family. What kind of heritage do you mean by that?"
“However, what you said makes some sense. Come on, let’s go somewhere first,” Dongfang Mian said.
The Grand Commander, looking bewildered, followed Dongfang Mian into a dazzling teleportation array.
Then, remaining utterly astonished, he followed Dongfang Mian through teleportation arrays, traversing almost every faction's treasure vault in the Black Triangle region.
"Alright, now our Sikong family has a solid foundation," Dongfang Mian said, gathering everything together and handing it over to the Grand Commander.
“This… I can’t… Miss, you should keep it yourself,” the Grand Commander said.
Dongfang Mian said irritably, "What kind of young master does this kind of physical work personally? Why aren't you putting it away? Do you expect me to pay for everything myself?!"
The commander had no choice but to accept it, saying, "Then I'll keep it for you, Miss."
"Well, after we leave here, everything that's left will be yours. We, the head steward of the dignified Sikong family, can't be poorer than the commander of Jiedian, can we?" Dongfang Mian said with a smile.
The Grand Commander scratched his head and smiled awkwardly. Indeed, having been stationed at the boundary point for many years, he no longer felt the same excitement for treasure as he did when he was young. However, when Dongfang Mian handed over the entire Black Triangle region's resources to him, the Grand Commander's powerful heart still couldn't help but skip a few beats.
After getting ready, Dongfang Mian and her companion prepared to head to the auction. After asking the proprietress for directions, the two set off excitedly, unaware that behind them, the proprietress was sticking out her tongue and gently licking her red lips, as if she had spotted some delicious food.
Once inside the auction, Dongfang Mian casually found a seat. The Grand Commander looked at the brochure and occasionally looked down to ask Dongfang Mian questions, perfectly embodying the role of the head steward.
“Miss, I think some of the items here are really quite nice. Would you consider buying a few?” the Grand Commander asked.
Dongfang Mian shook her head and said, "Of course we have to bid on things at an auction! We are the prestigious Sikong family; wouldn't it be a disgrace to the family if we went out without spending any money?!"
The people around him watched Dongfang Mian with expressions of amusement, as if he were looking at a fool. In Black Triangle City, flaunting one's wealth was practically suicide!
Dongfang Mian didn't care about any of that. He acted like a scion of a noble family who was going out for the first time to gain experience. He was not only unsophisticated but also had no sense of propriety.
It was rare for anyone to see that Dongfang Mian was so young, so they advised the Grand Commander, "You, the steward, should advise your young lady? You can't just say things like that here."
Unexpectedly, the Grand Commander said with a proud look, "Our young lady is the young master of the Sikong family, with an extremely noble status. Let alone bidding on a few ordinary items, she could even buy the entire auction."
