Carlo returned to Capital Star that night. After reporting to the elders in his family, he immediately turned to look for Aidean. He hadn't seen him for two years. The strong yearning for Aidean made Carlo involuntarily speed up. Along the way, he was both nervous and excited, and the ring he was holding in his hand was drenched with sweat.
After seeing Aidean, he must fulfill his original promise and propose to Aidean—Carol thought excitedly.
However, as soon as Carlo arrived in front of the villa, he found that there had been earth-shaking changes. The original two-story building was demolished and replaced with a row of more luxurious four-story villas, and a musical fountain was built at the entrance. , two rows of five-star fruit trees were planted in the yard, and the dense leaves shone with a soft silver luster in the night.
"..." I've always known that Uncle Randy is very rich, but it's not like I haven't seen him for two years. The change is so big, right
Carlo took a step back, looked carefully at the house number, and made sure he had gone the right way, before he stepped forward and rang the doorbell.
It was an intelligent robot who came to open the door, with a soft and authentic voice: "Hello, the owner is not at home, please leave a message if you have anything to do."
Rushing to Aide'an's house in a hurry, he wanted to give him a surprise, but he didn't expect Aide'an to be away. Carlo's originally excited mood fell to the bottom in an instant as if a basin of cold water had been poured on his head.
Facing this strange robot, Carlo frowned somewhat depressedly, and asked, "Where did Aidean go? When will you be back?"
The robot replied: "Master is going to attend the auction, and he won't be back until 10 pm at the earliest."
"Auction?" Carlo was a little surprised, "Where is it?"
The robot replied: "At the Royal Hotel."
Carlo turned on the optical computer he carried with him and logged on to the Internet to check. There was indeed a large-scale auction at the Royal Hotel in Capital Star tonight, and some information about the auctioned treasures was released on the Internet in advance. Many of them are unique and exquisitely shaped. Handicrafts, those handicrafts are decorated with silver leaves of the five-star fruit as decoration, very similar to Aidean's style. From this point of view, Randy, Aidean and his son went to the auction to make money
Thinking of this, Carlo immediately drove the suspension car and turned to the Royal Hotel.
The Royal Hotel is a unique floating seven-star high-end hotel in Capital Star. The hotel’s reception hall is located on the ground, and private rooms, large and small, are all suspended in the air. Sitting in the private rooms, you can overlook the most beautiful night view of Capital Star. In the private room on the top floor, you can see the beautiful starlight overhead through the glass ceiling.
There are many high-end private vehicles parked in the parking lot of the Royal Hotel tonight, and it is estimated that many of them came to participate in the auction. The lobby at the highest point was brightly lit at this time, which should be the venue for the auction.
After parking the car, Carlo quickly walked into the front desk to show his identification to the receptionist and explain his purpose.
After checking his identity crystal card, the reception lady saw that he was a member of the Beihe family, so she led him into the lobby on the highest floor.
As soon as he pushed open the door of the lobby, Carlo was startled—he saw that the room was full of guests, and many of them were famous people. There were even billionaires worth hundreds of millions, celebrities from all walks of life in the empire, and the military that could only be seen in the news. many generals.
It stands to reason that it would be impossible to alarm these people if they only auctioned the handicrafts made by Aidean and his son. Carlo found a place to sit down in doubt, thinking, could it be that there is something special about the things auctioned today that attracted so many people's attention
Carlo sat in the venue for a while. The strange thing is that the auctions were all handicrafts made by Aidean and rare plants grown by Randy. The starting price of the handicrafts was not high, and they were bought by interested guests. The precious The plants were all taken away by a general named Udyr—this young general is the new head of the Rose Legion. As we all know, he has a strange hobby of collecting all kinds of plants.
General Udyr is interested in plants, so it is understandable to come to the site to buy some flowers and plants, but why did the generals of other legions come here
Carlo was puzzled, the hall suddenly fell silent, and then the soft voice of the beautiful host sounded: "Ladies and gentlemen, today's auction has come to an end, and the last thing to be auctioned is a very special treasure, everyone Look at the stand in the center."
The lights in the hall suddenly dimmed, and the booth in the center rose slowly, and there was an exquisite wooden box in the middle of the booth paved with blue flannel. The box seemed to have a certain age, and it looked simple and elegant. There are exquisite patterns carved on it.
The box was opened by the host entering the password, and a red heart-shaped gemstone jumped into the eyes of everyone. In an instant, a ray of bright red light illuminated the surroundings. The red gemstone shone brightly under the dim light, making everything around The light was dimmed. Even a person like Carlo who doesn't understand gems can feel its preciousness. The dazzling brilliance of the gem is unparalleled. Almost the moment it appeared, it attracted the attention of all the guests.
The host said excitedly: "This gemstone is the legendary 'Tears of Roses', a unique treasure in the gem world! It is made of priceless red crystal diamonds, carved by Mr. Arman himself, the only one in the entire empire. There is this one, and its owner is Princess Alice of the Empire!"
As soon as these words came out, the audience was shocked, and even Carlo's eyes widened in shock.
The legend about Princess Alice can be traced back to the period when the empire was just founded hundreds of years ago. At that time, there were many fierce battles between the Empire and the Federation in the interstellar space. Princess Alice’s husband, Prince Rees, died in the battle. , This gem is their token of love. The princess was ambushed by the Federation Legion on the way back to the empire with it, and she escaped many times by relying on it. The whereabouts of both the gem and the mech are unknown.
Of course, the legend will definitely be embellished and gradually become a kind of myth. But according to the records in the history books, Princess Alice disappeared after going through many crises and brought news from the front line back to the empire. Her whereabouts have always been a mystery. At this time, her belongings suddenly appeared at the auction , it is no wonder that so many celebrities from the business, political and military circles are interested in coming to the scene.
But how did Aidean and Randy get this gem
The mystery in Carlo's heart was getting bigger and bigger. While he was thinking wildly, a discordant voice suddenly appeared: "I don't think anyone will object to the preciousness of this gem, but I want to know more about the preciousness of this gem." Origin. How did such a valuable thing appear at the auction?"
This question immediately got many people's responses, and the beautiful host standing in the middle replied with a smile: "This gentleman's question is reasonable, we guarantee that all the treasures auctioned in the auction come from regular channels, this gem belongs to Ellie Princess Si's descendants put it up for auction, we have identified the seller, please rest assured."
This answer made many people sigh. In the hundreds of years since the empire was established, there have been many members of the royal family. There are countless sacrifices, those who left the capital planet, and those whose whereabouts are unknown. Perhaps after the princess passed away, her descendants did not continue to live in the capital planet, nor did they enjoy the preferential treatment of the royal family. After hundreds of years, it is really chilling that the descendants who live in poverty actually put this precious relic up for auction.
At this moment, a familiar voice was suddenly heard from the venue.
"5 million crystal coins."
The voice of that person was clear and recognizable, like a clear stream of water gliding past his ears, with a tone of confidence that was neither humble nor overbearing.
— It's Xi Wei!
He was the first to bid? Carlo was surprised and turned his head to look in the direction of the sound. The spotlights of the venue hit the man in time. It really was the great prince of the empire, Xi Wei. He was wearing a very casual white casual suit today. Smiling, holding the auction sign in his hand, it said his bid, 5 million crystal coins.
As soon as the eldest prince made a move, he raised the price to a height that many people could not accept. This gem was originally a relic of the imperial family. Since Xi Wei intended to take it, many people consciously chose to give it up. But there were also some wealthy businessmen and wealthy military officials who were interested in the legendary mysterious mech, and began to raise the price with Xi Wei.
"5.5 million!"
"6000000!"
"6.5 million!"
Since the auction released the news of the auction of Princess Alice's relics in advance, almost all the rich people from the capital of the empire gathered at the venue today. For a while, the voices of asking prices came and went, and many people were flushed.
Xi Wei then said calmly, "8 million."
Today, the eldest prince has a tyrant attitude of "I'm rich, I'm self-willed". A relic of the royal family, he is obviously bound to get it.
The price of 8 million is enough to buy an excellent advanced smart mech. If there is a connection, you can even ask someone to make an A-level battle mech. Although the gems and mechs left by the princess sound precious, they are things from hundreds of years ago. The technology of the empire has developed extremely rapidly. Antiques from hundreds of years ago are already outdated today. Not useful, commemorative meaning is more than actual value.
When Xi Wei quoted the price, the voice of asking for the price suddenly became much quieter.
The host smiled and said: "8 million once, 8 million twice..."
As soon as I said this, a deep voice suddenly sounded from the corner: "10 million."
Everyone looked back, and unexpectedly found that the bidder was actually a handsome young man. He was wearing a dark purple military uniform without a military cap, revealing very neatly trimmed light chestnut hair. The badge on his shoulder represented his The military rank is already at the rank of lieutenant colonel.
At only 26 years old, there is only one person in the entire empire who was promoted to lieutenant colonel within four years of graduation - Jon of the Thunder Legion.
As soon as Xi Wei saw him, a trace of strong disgust rose in his heart. This guy is haunted. He has been pursuing Xi Wei for the past two years. Not to mention sending flowers to the palace every day, he has to grab things from others when he comes to an auction. It's really annoying.
The grievances and grievances Xi Wei had in school when he was a child have long been forgotten, but this Jon has to apologize sincerely every time he sees Xi Wei, saying that he was ignorant when he was a child and almost hurt you in the woods. I am very guilty, I will take good care of you in the future, please give me a chance to take care of you...
This Alpha really made Xi Wei very sick to his stomach, but he always had a gentle smile on his face, and confessed to Xi Wei affectionately. Xi Wei had severely rejected him many times, but it's a pity that this dead pig is not afraid of boiling water, Put on a shameless gesture of "it doesn't matter if you reject me, I'm relying on you anyway".
Ed'an, who was sitting next to him, suppressed a smile and said, "Why is it him again? Tell me, did he deliberately raise the price with you, or did he jump out to attract your attention?"
"It's a stupid act to attract my attention in this way." Xi Wei calmly leaned into Aidean's ear and said, "This time it should have nothing to do with personal feelings. He is very interested in this gem and is very interested in it." Maybe I noticed something, or I suspected that there was something hidden in the gem... Ignore him, I have to take a picture of this gem."
Having said that, Xi Wei raised the sign in his hand again: "12 million!"
Jon narrowed his eyes, then raised the price: "13 million."
Xi Wei said calmly: "15 million."
The scene suddenly fell silent, and Carlo, who was sitting in the auditorium, was also greatly shocked—15 million! This can buy a spaceship, right? ! The eldest prince is so arrogant, will the royal family's money be lost by him? Claire, you like such a prodigal Omega, can you afford to support him in the future
Jon also seemed to be aware that Xi Wei was bound to win. As the heir of the Orlando family, he was not afraid to compete with Xi Wei for money. However, this would undoubtedly offend Xi Wei completely. After thinking for a while, Jon finally Hold out the sign of Pass and give up the competition for this gem.
The host smiled and said: "15 million once... 15 million twice... 15 million three times! Deal! This jewel belongs to His Royal Highness!"
There was warm applause at the venue, and Xi Wei walked to the middle with a smile, took off this precious ruby, and put it on his chest.
Under the dim light, the dazzling red light of gemstones made his skin fairer. If it wasn't for Xi Wei's violent personality, Xi Wei's appearance would really make people's hearts flutter. Carlo could even hear a lot of people around him. From the drooling voices of the young Alphas, it is estimated that the group of people were thinking of YY throwing Xi Wei down.
Seeing this, Carlo finally understood that in today's auction, Randy and Aidean's handicrafts and precious plants are all introductions, and this ruby left by Princess Alice is the focus of the auction, so many Most people came to the auction, probably to watch the fun.
After the auction ended, the organizer held a dinner in the hall next door. Those who were free could continue to dine, and those who didn't want to waste time were free to leave. Many guests left the venue, and the venue was a little chaotic for a while. Carlo got up and wanted to find Aidean, but just arrived at the banquet hall next door, but saw a strange scene in the corridor—Udyr, the head of the Rose Legion, was Blocking Randy's way, he frowned and asked, "Did I see you somewhere?"
Randy smiled and said, "Did the general admit the wrong person? I'm just an ordinary citizen. I'm doing some small business. We've never met."
"Really?" Udyr glanced at Randy suspiciously. The man in front of him smiled very gently, which made him feel a strange kindness in his heart, and he couldn't help but want to get closer. Udyr stepped forward and asked, "What's your name? Who taught you how to grow tricolor flowers?"
Just as Randy was about to answer, his waist suddenly tightened. It turned out that it was Reg who saw the situation here, pulled him behind him to protect him, looked at him coldly and said, "General, you are not the only one who likes to grow flowers in the Capital Star, so interrogating a stranger like this is not a good idea." Isn't that impolite?"
Udyr was stunned for a moment, and realized that his tone was indeed like an interrogation, so he looked at Randy, smiled and said: "I'm sorry, sir, I don't doubt you, I just... see you have raised so many Precious flowers and plants, I was a little curious for a while."
The image of the little boy holding a flowerpot and following his ass calling him brother flashed through his mind. Looking at the handsome man in front of him when he grew up, Randy's heart softened suddenly, and he walked over patiently Hugging his impulse, he smiled and said, "It's okay, I won't mind. If you like to grow flowers, General, I can find some more precious varieties for you."
There was a hint of joy in Udyr's eyes: "Really? Then can I go to your garden?"
Randy nodded: "Yes."
Udyr left happily, and Randy looked at his back, feeling worried for a while. Back then, in order to escape the marriage arranged by his grandfather, he left the Sharman family by feigning death. At that time, Udyr was still in middle school. It is said that he cried a lot after hearing the news of his brother's death. Later, I heard that he grew up and fell in love with a very ordinary person. His grandfather forcibly separated them, and brutally cleaned Udyr's memory...
Although the current Udyr took over as the head of the Rose Legion, he has a noble status and great power, but Randy always feels that he seems to have no soul. He doesn't recognize his own brother, nor his lover, he just likes to grow flowers, his garden is full of all kinds of plants...
Seeing Randy's pale face, Reg frowned and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Randy came back to his senses, smiled and said, "It's nothing, I'm not feeling well."
Aidean gently shook his father's hand, because he knew that the person just now was his father's younger brother. It was inevitable that the exposure of the truth back then would affect the entire undercurrent organization, so Randy didn't dare to recognize Udyr.
Reg thought that Randy was really uncomfortable, so he immediately said with concern: "What's wrong with you? How about I send you to the next room to rest for a while?"
Facing Reg's deep eyes, Randy suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. He could feel this Alpha's concern and consideration for him. For so many years, Reg was always by his side silently, and he gradually accepted Reg The existence of this Alpha even took it into his heart. Now, they already had three children, but they never registered their marriage. It wasn't that he didn't want to, but that he couldn't... so he had to continue to wrong Reg.
Thinking of this, Randy gently held Reg's hand, and said softly, "You help me to rest first, and I will go home with Aidean after the banquet is over."
"Okay." Reg gently helped Randy away, and Aidean stood still and watched them go away.
After the two fathers left, Aidean turned around and prepared to go to the banquet hall. At this moment, suddenly a tall young man rushed up to him, his eyes were red with excitement: "Aidean, I finally see you!"
Then, the guy stretched out his arms and hugged him forcefully into his arms.
Ed'an: "... who are you?"
