Sitting on the sofa at the comic convention, idly sipping her wine, Zhao Xiaoyue took some oddly shaped cookies and ate them while sitting on the sofa.
"Zhao Xiaoyue, are you a reincarnation of a starving ghost?"
"Mmm, this electric eel is really delicious!"
The man at the comic convention put down his drink and stood up. "Alright, the auction is about to start, let's go!"
The actual auction was held on the second floor, and the host invited everyone to go up to the second floor together.
Zhao Xiaoyue, pulling along the crowd at the back of the convention, searched for her target.
She didn't realize that she, in her search for a target, was also someone else's target, and someone who was almost certain to succeed.
Just as Master He and Master Mang came out of the room, they ran into Situ Ming and his group who were coming out.
Upon seeing Duan Peng appear, Fifth Master He immediately put on a fawning smile and went forward to greet him, but was stopped three steps away by the bodyguards of the Wen Group.
He Wuye's face twitched. This was an insult to their Dragon Strike Department. He couldn't help but say, "Boss Duan, what you're doing is too inhumane!"
The python master standing to the side also showed displeasure, standing arrogantly next to Fifth Master He, his tone carrying a hint of haughtiness: "What, do we not even have the right to greet you, Boss Duan?"
Duan Peng looked at them expressionlessly, nodded slightly, and said indifferently, "Hello, you two." Then he ignored them.
Just then, the elevator doors opened. Situ Ming didn't even glance at them before stepping into the elevator first, followed closely by Duan Peng and his bodyguards.
Master He and Master Mang stared at the closed elevator doors. Master Mang said, "That young man is Ninth Young Master."
Python Master never expected that the last time Helms was involved in arms trafficking, it was a scheme set up by the Ninth Young Master, and that stupid dog Helms fell for it so easily.
Even he was deceived; Helms only revealed it later when he could no longer endure the torture.
After investigating for a full six months, he finally found a clue. He was certain that the Ninth Young Master was behind it because that batch of goods had never even left South America.
This Ninth Young Master is no ordinary person!
Fifth Master He cracked his knuckles, "Ungrateful! Humph!"
"Alright, Brother Kun said we can't afford to offend Duan Peng for now." Boss Python straightened his cuffs. "Let's go!"
The second floor was crowded with people. The auction hall was divided into two floors. The second floor consisted of enclosed private rooms, all with one-way glass, so people inside could see out, but people outside could not see in.
People like Zhao Xiaoyue and the anime convention attendees were all on the first floor, right in the middle of the crowd.
People like Situ Ming and Hou Taotao were arranged to stay on the second floor.
At the comic convention, someone whispered, "Hey Zhao, do you want to eat something to calm your nerves?"
He appears to be eating, but in reality, he is desperately trying to suppress his mental illness through food.
"Not for now!" Zhao Xiaoyue took a deep breath and exhaled.
There was a hint of heartache in the eyes of the anime convention attendee, but what she said was, "Little Moon, try to tone down that murderous expression. I'm afraid the bodyguards will kick us both out."
I'll try my best!
At the comic convention, he gentlemanly bent his arm and said, "Hey, grab it!"
Sigh...
"Honey, pinch me gently, or my arm will be ruined!"
At the comic convention, it looked like the skin under her hand was torn.
Zhao Xiaoyue overestimated her own mindset. Faced with such an environment, she would still subconsciously feel nervous, panicked, and even agitated.
The comic convention organizers quickly tried to distract Zhao Xiaoyue, racking his brains for a solution: "Did that savage ever look for you again?"
Zhao Xiaoyue: "Which savage?"
"The one you called 'little brother'." This was the first time Zhao Xiaoyue had been so friendly to someone, especially since he was a male.
This guy has a negative reaction to males; in his memory, no normal male has ever made him call her that intimately.
He took this opportunity to ask the question he had always wanted to ask.
Meanwhile, the anime convention staff observed Zhao Xiaoyue's expression and, seeing that it had some effect, breathed a slight sigh of relief.
"You mean Situ Ming!" A handsome and otherworldly face appeared in Zhao Xiaoyue's mind.
Suddenly, someone at the comic convention had a brain fart and blurted out, "The savage's name is Situ Ming?"
He immediately denied that this was a savage.
He warned Zhao Xiaoyue, "That person is dangerous. Stay away from him in the future."
Zhao Xiaoyue felt less agitated and uneasy.
"Why? Do you have a grudge against him?"
"No, it's just a kind of intuition from my subconscious."
It might be related to his early memories, but when he heard the name, he had a familiar yet dangerous feeling.
Zhao Xiaoyue ignored her and took out two silver needles to stimulate her acupoints.
The people at the comic convention stared wide-eyed. "Hey, where did you get that?"
Zhao Xiaoyue put the needle away. "This is called a hidden weapon."
A bell rang, and the host began, "Ladies and Gentlemen, Weleto Henry Group Auction..."
Thunderous applause and cheers erupted!
The anime convention worker scoffed, "It's so fake! Mr. Zhao, do you really think they'll actually give away the money raised from these charity auctions, which are a standard practice for every successful person like them?"
Zhao Xiaoyue looked at the comic convention strangely, "We've also hosted one before, did you give them out?"
“Nonsense, I went through all the proper channels. Not a single penny went into the impoverished mountain areas,” he said, pointing to his misty blue eyes. “My mother was watching the whole thing.”
"Hmm, well done, give me a thumbs up!"
However, the anime convention participants lamented, "How glorious it was back then! It feels terrible to start all over again."
"Alright, stop complaining, we've already made a great start!"
