It was under such a major premise that the appearance of the life crystal made everyone feel itchy. The Ximeng officials only resisted for a short time before compromising. The Western League issued a serious protest to the Chinese League, protesting that the Chinese League did not invite them to participate in the auction. The diplomatic rhetoric was very high-sounding. They said that the life crystal and the transformation technique belonged to all mankind. Although the life crystal was obtained by the Huameng, since the auction was held, the Ximeng should also be eligible to participate.
Huameng's reply was even more ingenious. The official reply given by Huameng was that because Ximeng did not approve of Huameng's reconnaissance of predators, it acquiesced that Ximeng believed that the life crystal obtained by Huameng was not real. Disputes, that's why the Western Union was not invited.
The war of words between the two sides thus began, but as the time for the auction got closer, the original tough attitude of the Western Union gradually softened. After all, those in power cannot afford the responsibility of Western Union not being able to participate in this auction. You must know that all politicians are backed by financial groups. If those hidden forces give up their support, then they are nothing, let alone re-elected.
Therefore, in the end, the Western League had to compromise with the Chinese League, acknowledging the results of the Chinese League's reconnaissance of the plundered Samsung, and at the same time, compromised in some aspects. However, even so, they still paid a higher price to be allowed to participate in this auction.
The collateral for each participating party in the northern alliance is a battleship, while the western alliance is an expeditionary-class battleship one level higher. You must know that the value of a battleship is one level lower, and its value is calculated by ten times. There are a total of 27 bidders finalized by Ximeng, and these are 27 battleships! Its value is also equivalent to two commander-class giant ships. Such a high collateral is definitely the first time in the history of auctions.
Of course, the Western Union can conduct a unified auction, but in the face of such a high-value existence as the life crystal, it is not so easy to trust such a thing. In particular, no one wants the life crystal they photographed to be known. Huameng allows anonymous participation in the auction. Of course, you can also participate in the auction openly, as long as you want to.
Western Union paid the price for its previous stupidity, and the first to be affected was the Osti family. Because they advocated confrontation with the Huameng, and this time there was such a big problem, they were duty-bound. Many consortiums naturally calculated their losses on them. Of course, fortunately, it was just a collateral. If even the auction price was affected by this, the Austi family would probably be under even greater pressure.
Undoubtedly, in this confrontation at the political level, the Huameng side instantly reversed the situation by relying on the powerful temptation of the life crystal, and slapped Ximeng fiercely on the face. The Huameng, which has always been the weakest, occupies Such an advantage is the first time.
The Appraisal Day has finally arrived under the anticipation of many high-level forces. In order to participate in this auction, everyone has paid a lot of money. To participate in the auction, the first step is to determine whether the item is what they want. Therefore, the representatives sent by all parties have sufficient vision or have participated in the research of metamorphosis.
Huameng officially issued a statement that all appraisers participating in the appraisal on the appraisal day must strictly abide by the appraisal rules. If any appraiser has a problem or even steals, then the participating party represented by it will be directly disqualified from the auction , while the guarantee is non-refundable. There is nothing wrong with such a regulation, which is not only a constraint, but also a manifestation of fairness.
The location of the appraisal day was not officially notified until the day before the appraisal day. When all the participating parties learned of the location of the appraisal day, they couldn't help being moved. Even the bidders who originally had some nasty ideas couldn't help restraining themselves a lot after learning about this place.
Skyfire Museum!
Simple and straightforward name. But the meaning it represents is so shocking. The former residence of the fortune teller.
Although the fortune teller has passed away, this powerful ruler known as the Eye of the Future is the most mysterious of all rulers ever. Who can be sure what he left behind before he left? What's more, anyone who knows a little bit about the meaning of a fortuneteller to Tianhuo Dao knows that if someone dares to act wild here, he will definitely be hit by Tianhuo Dao with all his strength.
Not everyone can enter Skyfire Avenue, but it has long been beyond doubt that it is the most powerful organization in the world of supernatural beings. In recent years, Tianhuo Avenue has frequently emerged as masters, and it has shown the strong strength of its younger generation in the competition of supernatural beings, and finally won the crown, so that the overall strength of Tianhuo Avenue continues to soar in front of the evaluators. Now it has completely become an existence beyond the two castles and the big alliance.
The Chu family was one of the bidders who came to participate in the auction on behalf of the Northern League. As the head of the family, Chu Dong came in person. It was also the first time he came to Tianhuo Avenue. From his son, Chu Dong heard a lot about Tianhuo Avenue The deeds, but actually came here, the feeling is completely different.
As soon as he walked into Tianhuo Avenue, he fell in love with it. Chu Dong likes all kinds of ancient things very much, and Tianhuo Avenue is like a perfect architectural exhibition in the Shangyuan era. Every building lined on both sides of the street is so exquisite. Whether it is the five-backed and six-beast carved railings and jade masonry of Chinese architecture, or the spiers of Gothic architecture, and the complexity of Gothic architecture, each of them has a thrilling beauty in his eyes.
Seeing these, he couldn't help but stop, his eyes a little fascinated. I even forgot the purpose of this trip.
At this moment, he suddenly felt something, and subconsciously cast his gaze in one direction.
The four eyes met, Chu Dong's mind froze slightly, and the mood of admiring the building disappeared in an instant.
It's him!
The touching eyes instantly became complicated, no wonder he was like this. How many years? How many years have you not seen him? He lost the heroic vigor of the past, but was a little more stable and old-fashioned. Even though he had become the master of a generation, the years still left traces on his face after all.
The gourmet strode towards Chu Dong and stopped three meters away from him.
"Brother..." is a simple one-word call, but it seems so difficult for gourmets at this moment. His voice was a little difficult, even slightly trembling, and the circles of his eyes were already red.
When they were young, brothers Chu Dong and Chu Xi had a very good relationship. Chu Dong was eight years older than Chu Xi, and he took good care of his younger brother since he was a child. He has never been jealous of his younger brother's talent. Although he has worked harder than his younger brother in cultivation, he is looking forward to his younger brother becoming the pillar of the family. They practiced together, played together, and spent their youthful years together.
Even during Chu Xi's most painful period, he never hated his brother, because the person in power in the family was always their father, Chu Yun, the iron-blooded head of the Chu family. From childhood to adulthood, when Chu Xi was being punished, there were countless times when Chu Dong stood by his side and helped him bear the burden silently.
And all of this happened twenty years ago.
"Bang—" Chu Dong punched his younger brother in the chest, causing the gourmet to slide back seven or eight meters before stopping.
With a flash of figure, Chu Dong was already in front of him in the next moment, grabbed his front lapel, and stared at him with sharp eyes like a knife. "You bastard!"
The gourmet with the title of Master of the Watcher of the Underworld, at this moment, looks like a child who has made a mistake, with his hands hanging by his sides, without any intention of resisting, with a low eyebrow and pleasing eyes, as if he is willing to suffer .
"Did you know..." Chu Dong's eyes were also red.
Gourmet's body trembled slightly, and he felt a little pain from the punch, but it obviously didn't contain any energy, and there was only pure strength and resentment.
"Do you know..., I miss you so much!" Chu Dongmeng pulled the gourmet closer, let go of his grip on his front, turned to open his arms, and hugged him tightly, whom he had not seen for nearly twenty years. brother.
The gourmet was stunned, and in the next moment, he hesitated, and put his arms around his tall but already graying elder brother.
"Brother, I'm sorry." I'm sorry, these three words were uttered from the mouth of a gourmet, like a heavy burden, these three words have been lingering in his heart for a long time. Ever since he was promoted to be the ruler, his mind has become much clearer. After careful consideration of everything in the past, he has gradually figured out many things. He was completely sure that the death of his lover back then had nothing to do with the family, and those obvious traces, now that he thought about it, were they not framed
Letting go of the hug, Chu Dong pinched the corners of his eyes, and the moist tears were quietly steamed by the flames of Hades, "Why didn't you come back? You should have understood what happened back then. The old man is so stubborn, and so are you. You are more like me than me." Is it that difficult for him to go back? He is old... "
When he said the last three words, Chu Dong's eyes couldn't help getting moist again.
The gourmet said bitterly: "It's not that I don't want to go back, but I have no face to go back. I don't know how to face you. Even today, I hesitated for a long time whether I should come to see you. Brother, please help me when I go back." Say sorry to my father, I know I was wrong. But the mistake has been made, I... "
