In the study of Bernard, the patriarch of the Debs family.
"What? Failed?" Bernard looked at the red-robed woman in front of him. "Failed, can't you continue? When did your Blood Plum Blossom Organization give up so easily?"
Bernard was very dissatisfied.
He asked the Sabre Organization but was rejected. When he asked the 'Blood Plum Blossom' organization for help, the Blood Plum Blossom Organization only agreed to destroy the stone sculpture 'Dream Awakening', as for killing Linley. The Blood Plum Blossom Organization's price was too high, it was the same price as killing a red-clothed archbishop. At such a price, the Debs family can't stand it.
According to the words of the Blood Plum Blossom Organization, killing Linley would offend the Holy See of Light and the Dawson Chamber of Commerce at the same time.
Another point…
Linley is now a master of stone carving. The status of stone carving masters is very high, and many people with status admire these masters very much. To kill Linley is to kill a stone carving master. In this case, some people will also hate the Blood Plum Blossom Organization.
Therefore, the price of killing Linley was actually the same as the price of killing a red-clothed archbishop.
"We won't take this task, and we will return the salary you gave us." The red-robed woman said with a cold face.
"Can you tell me why?" Bernard was a little puzzled.
Destroying a stone sculpture should not be too difficult. How can you give up just because you fail once
"Tell you the reason, then the salary you gave will not be returned, are you willing?" The red-robed woman said indifferently.
The killer organization is also an intelligence organization. They also sell intelligence.
"Yes." As the patriarch of the Debs family, Bernard was still very proud.
The red-robed woman said softly, "I can tell you that among the people who like the stone sculpture 'Awakening from a Dream', there is a person our organization is very unwilling to offend. This character is not something your Debs family can offend."
"Okay, the information is complete." The red-robed woman smiled slightly, and then left directly.
Bernard was furious.
This red-robed woman didn't even say the identity of the person she didn't want to offend, but Bernard also understood that a person who could make 'Blood Plum Blossom' so jealous must be a remarkable person. Regarding his intelligence, the price must be ridiculously high.

Magnolia calendar April 21, 9999, in the special auction hall of the Prox.
There are three floors in this auction hall. The first floor is for ordinary seats, and the second floor is for individual boxes. Each box is only qualified for some big nobles and rich people to enter. The price is also terrifyingly expensive. There is only one very large living room on the third floor, and the interior decoration is also very luxurious.
At this moment, there are more and more people in the hundreds of seats on the first floor of the auction hall. Even for these hundreds of seats, the price of each seat is as high as one hundred gold coins. As for the dozen or so boxes on the second floor, they range from 1,000 gold coins to 10,000 gold coins depending on the location.
As for the third floor, it is not open to the public at all.
The stone carving 'Dream Awakening' is very well-known. Many of the people who entered the auction hall this time are super rich in the Yulan mainland, and many are big nobles. Because there are too few seats, there are too many nobles and rich people. As a result, the resale price of a seat that was originally only worth 100 gold coins was ridiculously high.
The Debs family, because it is a local family, has an internal relationship with the Proux Club, and was lucky enough to get a box with the worst location on the second floor.
In fact, in the dozen or so boxes on the second floor, except for the Debs family, the families in the other boxes are all famous families on the Magnolia Continent. The strength is much stronger than the Debs family. For example... Some members of the 'Dawson Family' of the Dawson Chamber of Commerce are only in the boxes on the second floor. Of course, on behalf of the Dawson family, it is not a direct line of people.
"Alice, go inside."
A total of six people came from the Debs family this time, and Alice walked between Kalan and Kalan's mother. Alice also wore a hat with a low brim. The six quickly made their way up the stairs to the second floor.
In the boxes on the second floor, almost all the super families of the Magnolia Continent.
When Bernard of the Debs family saw some people in the corridor on the second floor, he immediately greeted them very modestly. The patriarch of the Debs family here is nothing at all. It's like when Yale said the Debs family - 'a small family'.
Yes, for those super-big families that traverse the Magnolia Continent, if their influence is only limited to one kingdom, they can only be regarded as a small family on the Magnolia Continent.
All six members of the Debs family entered the box.
"One day, my Debs family will be like them, or even stronger than them." Kalan secretly thought.
The Debs family came here this time, determined to win.
In any case, it is better to get this stone sculpture into your own home than to leave it outside. After all, the Debs family will hold an engagement ceremony in June, and by then many people will know that Alice is a member of the Debs family. But 'willing to win' is just 'willing', and economic strength is also very important.
"Brother Karan." Alice sat next to Karan.
In such a place where big nobles gather, Alice also feels a little restrained. After all, even the Debs family is nothing here, let alone the little aristocrats of the Alice family.
"Don't worry, you are in the box, the people below can't see you at all. That lei is really too much, and he actually took you..." Kalan was very angry when he thought of the 'Wake Up' stone sculpture, because he was a little bit concerned about the stone sculpture. Anyone who studies it can guess Linley's relationship with Alice.
After all, if you don't have real feelings, how can you carve such a 'sacred product'
If he Kalan really married Alice, I believe many people would secretly talk about Alice and Linley. He Kalan is a person of status. It would be very embarrassing to say that.
…
The third floor of the auction room.
There were only four people inside at the moment, the chief curators of the Proux Club, Maia and Ostoni, as well as Linley and Yale.
"Haha, Curator Maia, who is Linley?" A loud and hearty laughter sounded.
Curator Maier leaned on crutches to greet him, and Linley and Yale immediately greeted him, "Meet Your Majesty."
The person who came was the King of the Kingdom of Finlay, the proud 'Golden Lion' Clyde of the Kingdom of Finlay. As the king of a country, he is also a great ninth-level warrior. This is indeed worthy of admiration.
Linley looked at Clyde carefully.
His Majesty the King is very strong, and his long golden hair flutters freely like a lion with endless explosive power. Gu Pan, that kind of momentum naturally exudes.
Clyde looked at Linley: "If I'm right, this is Master Linley."
"Your Majesty, you can call me Linley." Linley said immediately.
In fact, Lin Lei felt very helpless. Since the stone sculpture 'Awakening from a Dream' was exhibited, many people met Lin Lei and called him 'Master Lin Lei' very modestly. This title is not hypocritical, even the one from the Lucas family back then. Marquis Jeb, who was reluctant to sell the sword 'Slaughter', now also admires Linley very much.
"That's fine." Clyde said very simply, "This is Yale, right, Yale, how is your father?"
"My father is very good, but he is not in the Holy Alliance now, otherwise my father will definitely come this time." Yale said humbly.
Clyde nodded slightly.
"Curator Maia, who else is there today?" Clyde shouted casually.
Curator Maier said with a smile: "Let's wait a little longer, the two cardinal archbishops of Gilmer and Lampson of the Holy See will come this time."
On the third floor of the auction hall, it is generally the people who receive the most important people in the Proux Club.
The windows on this third floor are covered with a special layer of glass, which makes it impossible to see the inside from the outside, but the inside can easily see the outside. This glass product was specially made by alchemists and was extremely expensive. General places can not afford to assemble.
"The two adults Gilmer and Lampson are here." Curator Maia was sitting in a position where he could see the corridor outside.
Linley, Yale, and King Clyde of the Kingdom of Finlay greeted them with great enthusiasm, welcoming the two cardinal archbishops from the Holy See together. The last time Archbishop Gilmer had seen him, and Archbishop Lampson was fat, his eyes narrowed into slits when he smiled, and he looked extremely cute.
"Linley, right?" Lampson immediately hugged Linley very enthusiastically.
"Sir Lampson." Linley said politely.
Then on the third floor, the two bishops, Linley, Yale, Maia, Ostoni, His Majesty Clyde, Gilmer, and Lampson, all sat down casually and watched through the floor-to-ceiling windows. The auction site below.
Even through the window, I could see the situation in the boxes on the second floor.
"Third, look." Yale lightly touched Linley's arm and winked downwards.
Linley followed Yale's gaze, and suddenly found that in the second-floor box, there were Kalan, Alice and the others in that box. At this moment, Kalan and Alice were walking on the sofa hand in hand, talking to each other.
"I didn't expect her to come today." Yale said softly to Linley.
lei just smiled indifferently.
"Linley, what are you talking about?" the fat 'Lampson' red-clothed archbishop said to Linley with a smile.
"nothing." lei shook his head.
Gilmer patted Clyde on the shoulder and said, "Clyde, the Finlay Kingdom you manage is really good, but Linley is a genius. I really didn't know beforehand that Linley is such a super magic genius. The achievements in the field of stone carving are so high."
Linley, Yale and the others chatted with Clyde, Gilmer, Lampson, Curator Maia and others. These people looked down on the third floor.
The first floor of the auction hall was full.
And on that stage was already placed the 'Dream Awakening' stone sculpture, which was covered by a cloth. On this stage, there were two beautiful maids standing on both sides, and a middle-aged man with blond hair dressed as a gentleman walked up with a smile, looked around and said loudly, "Gentlemen and ladies, welcome everyone to participate in the works of Master Linley. Auction of 'Stone Sculpture'."
The middle-aged man was also very dashing, and he talked eloquently: "The guests who came here today are all famous, and our guild hall is very honored to invite the Holy See's Cardinal Gilmer today." This middle-aged The person also bowed slightly to the third floor above.
Suddenly everyone below stood up, and the whole hall burst into warm applause.
"And Lord Cardinal Lampson." There was another warm applause.
"Our Majesty of the Kingdom of Finlay is here today."
"At the same time, the great magic genius, stone carving genius, and Master Linley have also arrived."
Every time the middle-aged person who presided over the auction mentioned a name, there was a warm applause. For these nobles, the red-clothed archbishop, the emperor of a kingdom, and the super genius who is probably rarely seen in the history of the Magnolia Continent are all figures worthy of admiration.
"Master Linley?"
In the box, Alice looked through the window glass in the direction of the third floor, but unfortunately all she saw was the pitch-black glass.
And the third layer.
However, Linley saw the eyes that Alice was looking at. They were a pair of eyes with a bit of daze.
