Chapter 23: The auction
"The auction tomorrow is so sudden", said a young man at a table on the ground floor while talking to two others sitting with him.
"I know, right? With such short notice, how do they expect people to prepare for it?" responded a middle-aged man as he was wolfing down his steak.
"Perhaps something happened. Maybe they got a rare item and couldn't wait to make some money," responded another.
"Well, the mystery will be solved tomorrow, won't it?
I just hope that we'll be able to get in," replied the young man.
"Even if we get in, do you think we'll be able to afford anything inside. We'll basically just be going there to watch a show."
Adrian listened to all this with an amused expression on his face. 'So that was why he was rushing. He was probably trying to gather enough resources for the auction tomorrow.'
After learning of this information, Adrian didn't stay any longer as he paid for his meal and returned to the courtyard for some brainstorming. He played with his siblings for a while while giving them advice on their cultivation.
Olivia had already broken through and had become a first-stage Qi Condensation realm cultivator. This was a pleasant surprise to both Adrian and Jayson, and they became curious and began wondering how talented she was.
