After hearing the queen’s words, Lin Fan’s expression turned tense indeed!

Among these forces, three are Lin Fan’s enemies. Whether it’s the B-K killer organization, the Mitsubishi Conglomerate, or the vampire clan, they are all top-level forces that Lin Fan cannot contend against with just his personal strength!

"Looks like I must rely on the power of the Child Clan this time," Lin Fan thought to himself.

The defense system that Deke brought is absolutely terrifying. After winning the parchment scroll at the auction, Lin Fan can only rely on Deke’s escort!

"Do you need my help?" The queen asked, seeing Lin Fan’s serious expression.

"There’s no need. Unless absolutely necessary, we cannot make a move. The protection of the parchment scroll is of utmost importance!" Lin Fan said solemnly.

"Alright then! Remember, number 88 is with the B-K killer organization, number 23 is from the vampire clan, and number 13 is from the Mitsubishi Conglomerate. Be wary of them!" The queen instructed.

Lin Fan nodded, not even bothering to thank the queen, as their relationship long surpassed the need for such formalities!

Afterward, they left the restroom and returned to their respective rooms!

Upon entering Deke’s luxury suite, Lin Fan glanced around the room. It must be said that the design of this suite was truly lavish. The seats were made of top-grain leather, and the central round table was made of space aluminum.

There was fruit on the table along with a fine bottle of red wine, and a personal attendant stood by the door, ensuring top-notch service!

Lin Fan sat down comfortably and poured himself a glass of red wine. In front of him was a touchscreen display used for bidding on auction items!

At this moment, a captivating woman walked onto the stage, swaying her alluring figure in a seductive dress, followed by two attendants pushing a small cart. The items on the cart were covered by a red silk cloth, appearing very mysterious!

The woman introduced herself in English: "Ladies and gentlemen, honored guests, allow me to introduce myself. I am the host of this auction, Catherine. This auction is truly world-renowned, and every item showcased here promises to capture your attention!"

"I understand that your interests are in the items, so let’s get to it. Now we’re going to auction the first item."

Catherine smiled charmingly and clapped her hands, prompting the servants to immediately remove the red silk cloth covering the item!

Under the light, the item emitted a dazzling brilliance. It was pure green without a trace of impurity—it turned out to be jadeite!

This jadeite was carved into a Buddha statue, a masterpiece so vivid and realistic that it seemed to have life!

"It’s actually a Jadeite Buddha statue!"

Lin Fan was taken aback. In Huaxia or Thailand, India, where many people believe in Buddhism, this statue would surely spark a bidding frenzy!

Catherine continued to smile and introduce, "This Jadeite Buddha statue is from Huaxia’s Qing Dynasty, crafted by a renowned artisan of the time. Made from quality jadeite, it’s a superior piece both in appearance and age."

"The starting bid for this Jadeite Buddha statue is three million US dollars, with increments no less than two hundred thousand US dollars. Now, honored guests, you can use the touchscreen in front of you to bid. The auction has begun!"

As soon as she finished speaking, many started manipulating the touchscreen before them!

One bid after another flashed across the tablet in Catherine’s hands, and she announced loudly: "Room 10, the guest from Thailand bids three and a half million!"

"Room 19, the guest from India bids four million!"

"Room 10... five million!"

"Room 1... five and a half million!"

"Room 33... seven million!"

...

In no time, this Jadeite Buddha statue was auctioned for a price of eight million, finally won over by a Thai tycoon!

Next, Catherine presented the second item, a crystal gem. This gem was crystal clear, resembling the azure sea!

Catherine smiled alluringly, "This crystal gem hails from ancient Roman times. If you use it to win a beauty’s heart, it will undoubtedly be your best choice. Of course, you can also gift it to your wife—I bet she’ll be joyous and unwavering in her devotion!"

"The starting price for the crystal gem is five million, with increments of no less than fifty thousand!"

As Catherine finished speaking, once again people began pressing their touchscreens!

It must be said, Catherine’s words undoubtedly piqued a lot of rich individuals’ interests—they cared not about the gem’s value, but about whether it could help them win over the woman they adored and take her to bed!

"Room 33 guest bids... six million!"

"Room 50 guest bids... eight million!" 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

"Room 40 guest bids... ten million! Fellow guests, this crystal gem’s value and charm go without saying; does it really just deserve ten million US dollars? Think about the effort and money you spend pursuing a woman—it surely exceeds ten million US dollars, yet this one crystal gem could accomplish it all!"

Enticed by Catherine’s words, a few more numbers appeared on her tablet. As the bidding ended, she laughed heartily: "Congratulations to the guest in Room 50 for securing the crystal gem at twelve million US dollars!"

The items at this auction were undeniably precious, prompting even Lin Fan to marvel occasionally. If it weren’t for his target being the "parchment scroll," he would’ve started bidding already!

As the second item was auctioned off, the third, fourth... tenth items were subsequently auctioned!

Lin Fan noticed there were only a few rooms bidding, yet the B-K killer organization’s room, the vampire clan, and Mitsubishi Conglomerate hadn’t placed a single bid.

"It seems their target is the ’parchment scroll’. Acquiring it definitely won’t be easy," Lin Fan thought to himself!

At that moment, as servants once again pushed a small cart onto the stage, Catherine’s seductive voice came through once more: "Next, the item to be auctioned is indeed the highlight of our auction!"

Upon hearing this, everyone became extremely alert, even Lin Fan straightened up, his eyes fixed on the item covered by red silk on the small cart!

Catherine smiled: "I believe many guests came for it, and many have already guessed what it is. You are correct; it is the highlight of this auction—the ’parchment scroll’!"
