The chef on the ship cooked the lunch in the authentic Y country cuisine style. The main course was Wellington beef, served with salad, the soup was borscht, and the dessert was apple crumble.
Having been used to Chinese cuisine, Su Nuan was a little uninterested in eating these foods, but in order to have enough energy and strength for the auction, she still finished the food on the plate.
After lunch, Johnson prepared an authentic Y-style afternoon tea for Su Nuan, featuring a sumptuous selection of hot and cold snacks and high-end tea sets—fine porcelain cups and saucers or silver tea sets, including a teapot, strainer, tea tray, teaspoon, dessert stand, cookie tongs, fruit plate, and lemon slicer—all gleaming silver and crystal clear. The silver tea sets shimmered in the sunlight, adding a touch of warmth.
Su Nuan sat on the sofa, basking in the sun and drinking afternoon tea. She seemed very comfortable, but in fact she was imagining in her mind what kinds of situations would happen during the auction and how she should deal with them.
Time passed quickly. Before the auction started, Chen Yuan received the public channel password provided by the pirates. After the relevant personnel successfully connected, he notified Su Nuan to go to the communication room to test whether the communication was normal.
Su Nuan came to the communication room and sat down. At this time, a voice came from the public channel.
"Dear distinguished guests, welcome. This auction will have three sessions. The first session will begin in ten minutes, and the main items for auction will be jewelry, antiques, and other items. The second session will begin at 7 pm, and the items for auction will be slaves. The third session will begin at 9 am tomorrow, and the items for auction will be weapons and equipment."
"This auction accepts payment in cash, overseas transfers, and checks. If you cannot pay the full amount for the auctioned items, please stay with us for a while."
"Good luck to all distinguished guests"
After the pirate spokesperson stopped speaking, the sound of various guests communicating could be heard in the channel.
Line 5: "Everyone, I am more interested in beautiful slaves. I hope you will bear with me during the auction."
Line 7: "Haha, that's fine, but you can't buy them all. You can only give some slaves to others."
Line 3: "The weapons and equipment in James' previous auctions were not very good. I wonder if there will be any good items this year."
Line 6: "I heard there's something good, but what it is is a mystery."
Line 9 Su Nuan said, "I'm interested in jewelry and antiques, please don't compete with me."
Line 5: "A woman's voice? There are women participating in the auction?"
Line 6: "Why are there women at an auction? Why are women joining in the fun?"
Su Nuan couldn't stand the sexism and retorted directly.
Line 9: "Mr. 6, I mean no offense. Do your mother and wife know that you have such strong opinions about women? Who says only men can participate in auctions? As long as I have enough money, I can question whatever I want."
Su Nuan's arrogant words showing off her wealth attracted a lot of people's attention. It was already unusual for a woman to participate in the auction, and she was also an arrogant woman who sounded very powerful. The pirate leader James called his confidants and asked about the background of this arrogant woman.
"Tyrande, what is the background of Line 9?"
"Boss, Line 9 has an invitation from the Spencer family of Country Y. Rumor has it that she's George's illegitimate daughter. George dotes on her and never restricts her spending. I went aboard and saw that there were over 20 fully armed security personnel on Line 9, and none of them were ordinary people. It seems the rumors are true."
"Hahaha, okay, I like young ladies who are stupid and rich. As long as she can afford it, it doesn't matter if she's a little arrogant."
The gentleman on Line 6 was extremely irritated by Su Nuan. He was a male chauvinist to begin with, and now a woman was being so arrogant towards him in front of everyone. How could No. 6 tolerate this? He retorted directly.
"Miss No. 9, this is not the place for you to play. Take your pocket money and go shopping at the mall. You can't afford the things here. Don't embarrass yourself by coming out here."
"Mr. No. 6, don't worry about it. It's none of your business how much my pocket money is or whether I can afford the things here. I advise you to mind your own business. It will make you age faster."
"You, you hateful woman, even if you say that, I want to see how much capital you have."
Seeing that Line 6 and Line 9 were about to get into a fight, the pirate leader began to come out to mediate and ease the atmosphere.
"Dear guests No. 6 and No. 9, the auction is about to begin. Miss No. 9 has a lot of jewelry and antiques that she likes, so you can buy as much as you want later. There will also be many surprises tomorrow for the weapons and equipment that Mr. No. 6 wants. I wish you two a happy shopping experience."
Su Nuan stopped her verbal battle with No. 6 and waited for the auction to begin. The voice of the auction host came from the public channel, introducing the first auction item.
This white gold diamond necklace features two pear-cut diamonds and a marquise-cut diamond, set with round brilliant-cut diamonds. The outer ring extends into a streamlined ribbon-like bow; the back clasp is also shaped like a bow, adorned with round diamonds on both the front and back. The necklace is composed of a delicately linked mosaic structure, with cascading round diamonds forming a cascading tassel. The interior of the necklace is accented by an eleven-pointed diamond star.
The host on the channel described it vividly, and Su Nuan could imagine how dazzling the necklace was.
"Starting price: $100,000. Bidding begins now."
Su Nuan did not participate in the auction at first. When the bid price reached 500,000 US dollars, there were only two competitors left. Su Nuan directly bid 600,000 US dollars. The people in the channel did not participate in the auction. The price of 600,000 was already beyond the current value of the necklace. What they did not know was that the value of diamonds would rise very fast in the future. What is now worth 600,000 US dollars will be worth at least one million US dollars in the future.
