Zhi Family Banquet (6)

The loud auction hall became quiet under her loud voice. She glanced around the auction hall with a scowl then clapped her small chubby round hands together. "Alright enough with the chatter I shall now begin the auction as you all know the Zhi family was supposed to hold a grand auction of treasures last night by was interrupted by a woman who has a feud with the second eldest daughter, Lady Zhi, so our grand Auction Hall has been blessed with their treasures to auction to the likes of you." She swept her gaze across the crowd below then continued. "Our first item on the list today is a broken Ji."

Shi Rong swept her gaze at the item below on the stage as the young woman pulled away the red cloth. The large Ji had a long silver broken blade, the large shaft had many cuts and markings engraved into it. On the silver blade Shi Rong can clearly make out a faint carving of a dragon.

Her head throbbed lightly upon gazing at the greatly damaged Ji. Her heart pounded with excitement causing her to lean forward in her seat nearly pressing her cheek against the glass.

"Let us now start the bidding at 1,000 yen."

"Hmph!"

People crossed their arms in front their chests or turned their back towards the stage.

"Such a damaged item is not worth 1,000 yen not even a 100 yen maybe 10 yen, this is an insult."

Shi rong sat inside the large room above and finally raised her auction card. A man standing on a balcony noticed the card ringing the bell signifying a bid.

"We have 1,000 yen do I hear 1,500 yen?"

The astonished crowd looked towards the large over head room.

"I saw lady Zhi go into that room with a guest who was a Semi-Angel maybe this weapon is actually worth something after all."

The crowd immediately roared in excitement raising their cards in a fury as the price rose and rose until it hit the millions.

"Do I have 150 million yen?"

Shi Rong raised her card from inside the auction room. Zhi Yue broke out in a nervous sweat. "Madam Da Lui that price is pretty high for such a damaged weapon might I suggest something else."

Shi Rong glanced at Zhi Yue with an unsympathetic expression then shifted her gaze quickly towards the jade card then back to her sweating nervous face. "Madam Zhi are you going back on your word with letting me obtain any item from the auction or should I back out now returning your eye and killing you now for dishonesty against this Heavenly Semi-Angel." She raised her eyebrow in an intimidating and provoking manner making sure she keeps up her disguise.
