#643. I mean, I’m slowly getting tired of it.
When spraying.
Li Qingyu sighed.
East Asia is the realm of the Black Dragon clan.
Because of Limon, I haven’t been able to make a big impact so far.
I was so busy with various things that I couldn’t reach even the smallest details.
The fact that she did not know that such a dangerous item had entered this country was something she should be ashamed of as the Black Dragon Princess of conspiracies and schemes.
“How did you know that item would be on sale today?”
So, to the question that arose.
Sir answered simply.
“I figured it out after looking at fortune-telling.”
“…Are you still able to predict this much?”
“Whoops. I’m not as good as the white baby, but I once heard the voice of the world’s greatest prophet.”
As the sword masters resurrected and the fate of the world was twisted, even Ainsha, who was the world’s greatest prophet, could not see the future.
But his own prophecy is to read the fate of the world.
Like psionics, they cannot see the future directly, but instead, they can still read fragments of fate.
Looking at the archwitch talking with a bewitching smile.
Limon frowned.
“If something like that was involved, you should have let me know, too.”
“Oh, you haven’t been able to contact me. The black baby was busy as usual.”
“…”
“Above all, it’s not something I have to tell you.”
It was not wrong.
she is the queen of magic
Among the superhumans of the absolute class, she is a great witch who has lived a long time.
It was because he had the ability to handle this level of work without having to borrow the power of Limon or the Seven Dragons.
…Even if it’s a dangerous thing that could ruin a country.
“You weren’t trying to sneak that away, were you?”
“Whoops, as a slave, I can’t do anything that harms you.”
“I don’t think there were one or two masters who got stabbed by a slave while having such a delusion.”
“Even a slave sees his opponent and fights against him.”
Shir smiled slightly.
When Limon laughed while watching her like that.
Yuna-kyung, who was blinking with her feathers dyed black, opened her beak tremblingly.
[What is that about?]
“…Does the old woman seem to be lacking in disciple education?” [Is it weird that I
do
n’t know?!]
“I thought, baby, if I were your pet, I would have known that much.”
[What is a conversation like a married couple shifting responsibility for erroneous etiquette education to their children!]
Watching Yuna-kyung flapping her wings and arguing after being treated as a pet that she suddenly lacks, I clicked my tongue for a while.
Limon suddenly raised his eyebrows.
Hwang Cheol-seok, who has been bragging about the results of the auction as soon as the auction item comes out.
Because he was lingering this time.
“Hmm, that’s…”
“Why is that?”
Did you feel a similar discomfort?
While the other participants, including the bunny girl who was conducting the auction, looked at each other with puzzled eyes.
Hwang Cheol-seok frowned and said.
“I don’t know what. It seems like something you don’t have to spend money to buy.”
“Well… No matter how much the Midas auction house is, boulders are mixed.”
“Still, it’s amazing to see something I didn’t know came out. I want to buy that for research purposes. Is that okay?”
“Of course.”
while others hear and agree with it.
Indeed, Limon, Shir, and Li Qingyu made strange expressions or had strange smiles.
“How do you look, baby?”
“It would be either one. That bastard was more than he thought.”
“Or he must be an impostor.”
At the words of Limon, who crossed his arms.
Li Qingyu chuckled.
And I didn’t have to worry about which one would be the answer.
Even though he is the president of the Culture and Arts Association, it is possible that he does not know that much.
But what if humans, who have been putting prices on all kinds of auction items by adding names that weren’t there before, just ignore it this time?
did you know from the beginning
Or did you just notice it when you saw it?
It was clear that Hwang Cheol-seok had something for him after realizing the true value of that object and trying to acquire it.
“What will you do, swordsman? If you want, you can bid right away.”
“Would you have to do that?”
“…You mean to use it as bait?”
“You’re wondering how that baby will use it.”
“I think you can ask him directly about that.”
“That’s the story of when that baby knew something. An ignorant tail might miss a good opportunity.”
“You can find out just about anything you need without risking that stuff being misused.”
“Hmm.”
Li Qing-yu wants to secure things first.
Sir Hwang Cheol-seok wins the bid and waits to see how it moves.
Hearing the bewitching beauty and the beautiful girl whispering on the left and right, Limon tapped the armrest with his finger.
Either way makes sense.
Either way it doesn’t matter.
No matter what Hwang Cheol-seok did, they always had the ability to retrieve things.
It’s just a difference in method.
So after a short thought.
with a strange smile
Limon opened his mouth.
“Okay then…”
* * *
‘100 million… that’s good.’
Bid on an auction item.
Hwang Cheol-seok smiled with a repentant smile.
He received an advance payment of 10 billion won for this incident.
I was prepared to pour at least a billion, maybe even billions, into the bidding.
Thanks to everyone colluding with the hostility towards Limon, we were able to win the bid at a bargain price.
At this point, it was rather a blessing in disguise.
Of course, I didn’t feel grateful to Limon, who tackled every single thing.
‘A guy who knows nothing about art dares to point out my feelings!’
Of course, that comment was quite plausible.
Some even had to admit it in awe.
‘Hey, let’s see.’
However, Hwang Cheol-seok snorted.
Even if Limon’s feelings were right or not, it didn’t matter.
If he admits it, as the president of the Culture and Arts Association, blank papers with paints are sold for billions of dollars, and diaries left by children become masterpieces.
On the other hand, even when a stranger talks about its historical value, only an idiot believes it to be a national treasure-level cultural property.
Art is something that comes from authority.
Also praised by the public.
Also spending a lot of money.
Impressive too.
In the end, it is as if it is to share the authority with the belief that art recognized by such a cultured and authoritative person has its own value.
That is the essence of art.
It is the power that makes art great.
It was rather laughable to talk about having some trivial knowledge without knowing that.
‘Wait and see, after this auction is over…?’
While I was making up my mind to scold Limon.
Hwang Cheol-seok hesitated.
Bunny girl who should have declared his winning bid long ago.
It was because she was holding her finger on the earphone plugged into one ear with a strange expression on her face.
I have a feeling of foreboding about something.
The moment he hardened his face.
“Everyone, this is an unexpected event!”
It seems that the face that was lethargic until now was a lie.
The bunny girl with a bright smile shouted energetically to them.
“Special rule number 3 unique to the Midas auction house! The customer who proposed the property auction has appeared!”
“…what? Barter auction?”
“Yes, that barter! A special system that allows many people who are short on cash to win auctions with goods instead of money!”
“What are you talking about? What kind of crazy person would apply for a system like that…!”
“Oh sorry. I did that.”
“…!”
“I’m getting tired of just watching them spend money.”
It took a moment to glare at Limon with bloodshot eyes while calling an auctioneer from another VIP seat and handing him something.
Hwang Cheol-seok immediately snorted.
‘Hey useless thing!’
A barter auction is a system in which you can bid with the money you put up when someone else wins the bid at a higher price than the auction item.
Whatever Limon comes up with.
If he asserts that he has no artistic value.
No, even if it wasn’t, there was no way the other guests, who were united in hostility towards him, would bid.
Hwang Cheol-seok laughed at Limon’s recklessness without hesitation.
Wei Ying.
“Everyone was looking forward to it! If you think I can tell you something with this thing…!”
But after a while.
machinery is moving.
The moment another case rose side by side next to the existing auction item on the stage.
The pyrite hardened.
No, it wasn’t just that.
Not only the other contestants who were ridiculed, but also the bunny girl who was excited to be able to play the role of an auctioneer.
Because everyone stopped everything they were doing and looked at the newly appeared object.
“Oh well. This is an unidentified… sculpture of unknown origin and date…”
Sculpture.
Yes.
it was a piece
It is crude rather than delicate.
Even the whole balance was twisted.
More ugly and terrible than beautiful.
Even at first glance, the piece that cut the devil is a mess.
It was a piece of art that was embarrassing to be listed on the prestigious Midas auction house, where only dozens of flaws could be pointed out.
But whether it was the intention of the creators or a miraculous coincidence.
Its roughness changes shape depending on the angle.
That twist distorts the line of sight.
Just by looking at it, it creates an optical illusion that a hideous demon statue transforms into a wounded angel.
every time you change the angle.
Demons and angels swapped.
The intersection of ugliness and beauty.
The violence of the overwhelming senses makes you stare at the statue with chilling goosebumps.
“The starting price suggested by the customer who requested the auction is… 10,000 won.”
It’s nonsense.
Even ten thousand won is expensive.
There is no way anyone would want to buy such a rugged piece with money.
But…
“…I’ll bid for 10,000 won.”
“Mrs.?!”
“One million won.”
“500 no 50 million!”
“80 million!”
The moment when the woman who won the bid for blue and white porcelain opened her mouth as if possessed.
Like a dam breaking.
Seeing the others frantically shouting bids, Hwang Cheol-seok shouted with a pale face.
“What are you doing with a sculpture that has no genealogy like that!”
I don’t even know the name of the sculptor.
There is no historical origin or story.
Above all, the authority, that is, he did not acknowledge it.
So that kind of stuff isn’t art, it’s just cheap junk that you can’t resell at half price no matter how expensive you buy it.
Hwang Cheol-seok insisted on an extremely common sense theory.
“Whether I have a genealogy or not, what does it matter if I want to buy it!”
“What is it?”
“If you don’t want to buy, Chairman Hwang, just stay away! Didn’t you say that the auction item was worthless anyway?”
“No, that’s…”
“5 billion!”
“10 billion!”
“…!”
while you say a few words.
Ignore that word completely.
It has already surpassed 10 billion.
And it was not enough, and at the auction price soaring like crazy by 200 to 30 billion, Chul-Seok Pyro became blue.
This is because if the price continues to rise in this way, it is impossible to win the bid even if he uses all the cash he has in addition to the advance payment.
What if things get stolen like this?
‘They’ can’t let him go.
Truly a quandary.
Hwang Cheol-seok sweated like rain all over his body for a while in the reality that his lucrative money-making suddenly turned into a crisis of running out of throat.
Hwang Cheol-seok finally closed his eyes.
‘Damn it!’
He put his hand in his pocket.
Received just in case.
The moment the emergency call button is pressed.
Kwaaang!
“Kyaaak!?”
with a loud bang.
The auction house shakes.
An attack on the auction house by an unknown group of people wearing black masks has begun.
