In Room 7, there was a middle-aged man around forty with short, neatly kept hair, dressed in a black suit. His eyes sparkled with an indescribable glow. Behind him stood another man and a woman. The man appeared quite scholarly, with hair covering half of his eyes and round-framed glasses perched on his nose, holding a book about human anatomy, which evoked the impression of a doctor. They all hailed from Derman, a powerful nation that had dominated Europe several times and nearly conquered the world. "Adenna, why do you want to bid for Huaxia's Imperial Jade Seal? This item is meaningless to us!" the woman said with a displeased expression. "Don't forget, our target this time is that item!" "I know," the man called Adenna replied, "I just can't stand that Huaxia boy's arrogance. Even though the times are different now and they are becoming stronger, it seems they've forgotten that when our kingdom of Derman was contending for world dominance, they were still busy seeking redemption from their enslaved society!" "Anna, it's alright, let Adenna have his fun," the bespectacled man interjected, "Otherwise, this trip would be far too boring." "Yeah, this Huaxia person is indeed quite wealthy. I have no idea how he managed to mobilize that destroyer from England and even got Frankfurt to allow it, but to think he can do whatever he wants at this auction with just a destroyer is a bit far-fetched." "Hahaha, such first world weapons can only intimidate ordinary people, they are useless against us," Adenna continued, "Even if they brought ten times more, they couldn't keep us here. Just considering his arrogant demeanor earlier, if he doesn't bleed, he won't think of taking the item back to Huaxia!" "Aren't you afraid that this Huaxia person will drive up the price and then outmaneuver you?" the woman laughed. "That's impossible. I know the people of Huaxia well. They value national honor above everything, and if the Imperial Jade Seal, an item of such significance, has come up this time, they will do everything they can to secure it, even if means selling the pots and pans." ...@@@@ "Mr. Zhang, ordinary firearms are very intimidating to common people, but they are utterly meaningless against mutants of Level Three and above," Ye Yin told Zhang Menglong. "With the protection of that Level Five mutant, the destroyer won't stop them." "Isn't that why I have you!" Zhang Menglong laughed. Just now, Zhang Menglong's credibility had been seriously challenged! He had barely finished speaking when someone immediately called out a bid, essentially a slap in his face. In their Kaibong, a "Divine Ninja" was someone who had surpassed the mighty existence of Level Nine energy units; such individuals, powerful enough to only be looked up to, represented the nation's most valuable strength and talent! He believed that the person Zhang Menglong had brought with him definitely possessed strength above the Level Nine energy units! Last night, that Huaxia person seemed like he was merely playing with him—from the moment he noticed his presence to the moment he was subdued, it all happened in an instant! Although he didn't know why Zhang Menglong had such a person by his side, let alone why his men dared to brazenly tear up the second-world treaty, but with such a person next to Zhang Menglong, anyone who provoked him was probably going to die miserably! "Stupid and arrogant people from Derman!" the Dream Palace muttered to himself. This time, if they wanted to take that item back, there was almost no hope. ... "Miss Emma, it is time to ask for bids!" Adenna said in a haughty tone. Only then did Emma suddenly remember her actual job. "Five million euros for the first time. Is there anyone else who would like to raise the bid?" Emma's expression turned towards the VIP room where Zhang Menglong was seated. "Five million euros for the second time!" "Hehehe!" As Emma called for bids the second time, a burst of laughter came from VIP room number 7, "If Mr. Zhang doesn't continue to bid, this Imperial Jade Seal will belong to me, and I look forward to seeing if Mr. Zhang's naval forces can really trap me then!" "Old Zhang, that bastard is provoking you! Get him!" Wang Ling said, teeth itching with anger. "I know," Zhang Menglong was surprisingly not angry, "but I've suddenly changed my mind. Now, I plan to use the method of a civilized person." "Ah? The method of a civilized person? What do you mean?" Wang Ling asked, puzzled. "The method of a civilized person, that is to overpower him with money!" Zhang Menglong declared, "As long as he can't produce the money when it's time to pay, then he won't be taking the item away!"
