Chapter 519 - 252 Auction
Approaching the entrance of the auction, after security checks and wealth verification, Allen Zhang and Old George and their group collected their bidding numbers and temporary passes, smoothly entering the auction site.
Who would’ve thought the minimum requirement for entry was to own property and assets in Los Angeles, with a ticket price of at least 2 million US dollars! Alternatively, you could have a familiar acquaintance vouch for you.
Thankfully, the General Sect Leader was a confirmed billionaire; otherwise, for a first visit, one could easily be mistaken for a deadbeat looking to freeload on the food and drink. The security staff’s attitude shifted at light speed to warm hospitality upon seeing the ten-plus million US dollars on the Foundation’s ledger.
Right after walking in, you’d see the conspicuous elevated stage, the chandeliers hanging from the ceiling, the red carpet underfoot, and neatly arranged round table seats. At first glance, it seemed like attending someone’s wedding or funeral dinner.
There was still some time before the auction started, but people had already arrived quite early.
The General Sect Leader found his seat at table number 124, but he wasn’t in a hurry to take his place.
Many who came here weren’t purely after the auctioned items; they’re not here for the alcoholic drinks, but to expand contacts and exchange information - that’s their main goal.
Of course, there were also lechers, purely here to hit on female celebrities and to bed them.
Take, for instance, the balding middle-aged man Colson, who, as soon as he arrived, set his sights on a dazzlingly dressed female celebrity in the crowd, Catherine Newton.
Blonde hair, blue eyes, dressed in an evening gown, her makeup meticulously applied, she was laughing and chatting with a producer.
