Chapter 39, Part 1.
However, for some things, hope is good, but the reality is not like this at all. When it comes to the Fire Spirit Gene, it is not as dead as the gene fusion preparation.
When the host gave the starting price of 8 million, fierce competition began on the scene.
Lu Xia specifically looked up the description of the Fire Spirit Gene.
This is an energy body extracted from a mineral. It can be used in weapons or made into a genetic medicine, but the latter is much more difficult than the former.
But no matter what, it is a good thing.
Although it needs to be "reprocessed" before it can be used, there are still many people who want it.
Unknowingly, the price has reached 25 million, and there is only one person left to participate in the auction.
Lu Xia did not hesitate any more, and directly pressed the bell and gave a price of 30 million.
Sure enough, when her price came out, the scene was quiet for a moment, and then the host began to hammer, and finally Lu Xia got the Fire Spirit Gene at a price of 30 million.
Having already gotten what they wanted, Lu Xia didn't want to stay here any longer. He said to Grace, "Let's go through the formalities and then go back."
Grace nodded, got up and took Lu Xia out of the box.
The waiter who had just received them was waiting outside the door. When he saw them coming out, he immediately came to greet them: "What do you two need? I can..."
"Take us to the formalities." Grace interrupted the waiter.
"Okay, please follow me."
Following the waiter to the special place for formalities at the back, there was a professional manager waiting there. When they saw them, they directly invited them to the office next door and handled various formalities for them individually. It can be seen that the service here is quite good.
The formalities were handled very quickly, and the two did not have to wait for long. Soon Lu Xia got the password box containing the gene fusion agent and the fire spirit gene.
After the handover was completed, the manager said respectfully: "I hope you two will patronize our Toya Auction House in the future!"
Lu Xia nodded to the other party and was about to turn around and leave when there was a sudden rumble, followed by a tremor on the ground. Grace subconsciously hugged Lu Xia in her arms.
The manager reacted quickly and said, "Wait here for a moment, I'll go see what happened. Our safety is still guaranteed..."
Before he finished speaking, loud rumbling noises rang out again.
Grace carefully held Lu Xia in her arms. The dust and stones falling from above all fell on him. The manager also shrank in the corner in fear.
This was obviously not normal.
After the situation stabilized a little, Grace immediately said, "Let's leave here immediately!"
Even though Lu Xia didn't know what happened, he knew that he had to listen to Grace at this time.
When they came out of the room, the originally orderly hall was in chaos. The entrance door they had just entered had been closed at some point.
At this moment, they could still hear crying and rumbling sounds coming from inside. Obviously, the entire auction house had been thrown into chaos by this sudden situation.
Grace put his arm around Lu Xia's shoulders and carefully protected her as she walked towards the safe passage.
Lu Xia found that Grace seemed very familiar with this place.
"Everyone listen, stand against the wall. We don't mean to make things difficult for anyone. We just want to find our people back." The sudden voice and the dazzling light stopped Lu Xia and Grace from moving forward.
Hearing the word "people", Lu Xia subconsciously thought of the Rafaeld family. Who are these people coming to rescue?
Just as she was thinking about this, footsteps approached. When the older white-haired man in the lead appeared beside them, Lu Xia could clearly feel that the other party's eyes fell on the two of them.
"Can you please take off your masks and verify your identity?"
This sentence seemed polite, but in fact it did not give them a chance to refuse. It was more like a notice.
"Sir, instead of wasting your time on us, you might as well rescue the person you want quickly. If you are late, the person may be transferred away." Grace stepped forward and blocked Lu Xia behind him. Naturally, his move could not escape the other party.
"You seem to know this place very well. Can I..." Before the other party finished speaking, Lu Xia grabbed Grace's arm and said, "We are here just to participate in the auction. We have nothing to do with the people here, and we have no interest in the people you want to find."
Lu Xia took off his mask and glanced at the other party coldly: "Or are insignificant people also the targets of your retaliation?"
The other party obviously didn't expect that a noble female would appear here, and he knew this female: "Duke Lu Xia?"
Lu Xia was a little surprised to be called by his name suddenly: "Do you know me?"
"I think there are few people in the empire who have not heard of your name. I didn't expect to see you here. I guess you must have met Smelian?"
Lu Xia frowned slightly. After searching through the memories in his mind, Lu Xia couldn't find any memories related to this name.
If the old butler was here, he would definitely remind her that this was one of her five husbands!
Unfortunately, the old butler was not here, so Lu Xia didn't know who this was.
As if seeing her confusion, the other party's tone became colder: "It seems that you are really a noble person who forgets things easily. We have something else to do, so we won't delay you."
Lu Xia naturally felt the other party's attitude that turned cold in an instant, but now was not the time to investigate. Lu Xia took Grace's arm and nodded to the other party: "Then I wish you all the best."
After that, he left here with Grace.
After they left, the person following the white-haired man said: "Isn't Duke Lu Xia the mistress of Master Smellian? How could she..." Don't know? Before the three words were finished, they were stopped by the other party's cold eyes.
On this side, Lu Xia and Grace had successfully left the black market. When they returned to the hovercraft, Lu Xia's tense nerves relaxed: "I didn't expect that the Raffield family would come to rescue."
It seems that although this family is weak, it
is very united. Who is Smellian?
The tone of the other party's speech seemed as if she should know him.
But she really had no impression at all, so she looked at Grace: "Do you know who Smellian he just mentioned?"
Grace pursed her lips when she heard that. Her dark eyes fell on Lu Xia's face, as if she was seriously judging whether Lu Xia really didn't know who the other person was.
Seeing Grace's silence, Lu Xia raised an eyebrow: "Is he a very important person?"
Why do they all react like this?
"If I remember correctly, he should also be one of your servants, Xia Xia." Grace's tone was very calm when she said this, but if you listen carefully, you can hear the dissatisfaction faintly revealed in her voice.
"..."
Is this true or not?
Grace: I remember every one of them very clearly, grit your teeth!
