Hearing the attendant's words, Meng Fan turned his head to look at Liu Xia. Seeing that his face was also at a loss, he curled his lips and took out his identity card. At the same time, he motioned for Liu Xia to take out his identity card.

"Alright! "Sir, this is your number plate. If there's anything you want, you can use this number plate to bid. Afterwards, we will contact you to complete the payment!" The attendant used Meng Fan and Liu Xia's ID cards to record their results. At the same time, he handed Meng Fan a small number 37 sign to him.

Meng Fan smiled wryly as he received the number plate from the attendant. Neither he nor Liu Xia had ever experienced something like this before. Although their status wasn't low, for an assassin to attend an auction like this was simply laughable.

This was also Meng Fan and Liu Xia's first time participating in a so-called auction. To these situations, they were considered rookies.

Grabbing the number plate, Meng Fan smiled wryly to himself. At the same time, he didn't hesitate to follow Liu Xia into the auction.

Meng Fan and Liu Xia weren't unfamiliar with the surrounding environment. Originally, they didn't think much of it, but when they walked into the hall, they found many pairs of eyes staring at them. When they walked into the hall, they immediately attracted everyone's attention.

There were around three to five hundred people in the auction house, and most of them were around twenty people. There were about thirty to forty forces in this auction house.

However, there were so many people. When Meng Fan and Liu Xia walked into the auction house, they immediately attracted the attention of many people. They all looked at Meng Fan, and the fervor in their eyes almost made Meng Fan think he was some sort of beauty.

"Brother Fan!" Aren't we being too ostentatious? " Under the gaze of these people, even someone as thick-skinned as Meng Fan couldn't help but feel uncomfortable, let alone Liu Xia, who was following behind Meng Fan.

Under the gazes of these people, even though Liu Xia had seen a lot of big scenes, he still felt somewhat uneasy. After all, there were three to five hundred people here! Even if no one spat, they would probably drown. No one could be calm!

"Calm down!" Calm down! Right now, they do not need to deal with us, Cheng Ying is at the auction, they will keep an eye on the auction! " Walking on the road, Meng Fan's muscles subconsciously tensed up as he carefully guarded against the people around him. However, he comforted Liu Xia beside him.

However, Meng Fan's words, even he himself, were not very convincing. As soon as the two of them entered the auction venue, the atmosphere in the area suddenly grew nervous. No one spoke. Other than Meng Fan and Meng Li, everyone else looked at them silently.

This made Meng Fan think of a joke. The first person would eat and sleep every day, the second would eat and sleep, the third would eat and sleep.

The current Meng Fan felt like he was the third person. Under the gazes of so many people, although they didn't make a move, the pressure he felt under the gazes of hundreds of people wasn't something that an ordinary person could withstand.

"Wandering souls!" I didn't expect to see you here. How would you like to see your own things? Just as Meng Fan and Liu Xia sat down, a string of stiff Chinese characters came from afar. From the looks of the other party's words, it seemed to be teasing. It even seemed that this person knew Meng Fan.

"William! What are you doing here, could it be that your William family also wants to get a shadow? However, whether you can achieve it or not will depend on whether your pocket is full! " Meng Fan looked over at the sound and recognized the person who had just arrived. It was William, who had interacted with Meng Fan several times before.

Meng Fan was not surprised at William's appearance here. However, after the incident with the Wolf King, there was no connection between them, and Meng Fan seemed to have forgotten about William. To be able to see William here was not a good thing for Meng Fan.

"Hehe!" Rather than worrying about me, you should worry about yourself instead! " But after Meng Fan said that, William laughed, and continued to look around him, "Today is the day of the auction for the Shadow Auction! Although there are some people who do not want to see the light, that is only outside the borders.

They all knew who had organized this auction. After all, the powers present were not simple people. Investigating these matters was still very simple.

In fact, there were some powers who had already known that there were hidden forces behind this. However, they did not cower and instead, each and every power appeared to fight for the Shadow. The Shadow's value and secret was one aspect.

On the other hand, it was naturally their status within the country. Although many of them were wanted outside the country, but within the country, they had no criminal record. Even if they knew about their background, they would at most be deported.

Moreover, with so many people present, almost all of Earth's citizens had gathered here. If he really were to make a move here, it would probably cause an international incident. Although the country was powerful, it could not ignore the issue of these people's nationality.

William's words were naturally echoed by some people. After all, this was what they were thinking in their hearts. Saying it out now could be considered giving a precautionary measure to the people in the shadows.

"Everyone! "Welcome to this year's auction!" Just as everyone was whispering to each other, on the auction stage in the center of the auction venue, a middle-aged man with a professional smile on his face walked up and said in a loud and clear voice as he looked at the crowd below.

"The main product of this auction is one of the top ten ancient swords, Cheng Ying. At the same time, we have some other items for auction!" "Everyone, please bid enthusiastically!"

As the middle-aged man spoke, the auction officially began. As for Meng Fan and the others below, they all went silent. Meng Fan was staring at the scene with furrowed brows, watching the scene unfold.

With the appearance of this middle-aged man, Meng Fan and Liu Xia were temporarily ignored. After all, they were here to participate in the auction, not to cause trouble for Meng Fan.

At first, the auction was full of items. There were antiques and works of art. However, after three items were auctioned off, the organizer seemed to understand something and took out Cheng Ying.

After all, all the people present at the auction were here for the sake of Cheng Ying. With their statuses, what had they not seen before? So why would they be interested in these common items?

Besides, for them, if nothing went wrong, Cheng Ying would ultimately be auctioned off. Before Cheng Ying appeared, how could they use even a penny on other things?

After all, no one wanted to use up their own funds before the Shadow Awareness appeared, which was the reason why continuous auctions took place. Normally, the objects that were placed there were also items that people wanted to buy first, but the prerequisite was that they were real and not something that was used to trick people.0

"Shadow Bearing Sword!" One of the top ten ancient swords. I'm afraid that you all have to know more than what is needed, so I won't go through them one by one. A starting bid of 500 million! "Everyone, please bid enthusiastically!"

When Cheng Ying was brought out by the waiter, everyone's eyes lit up as they stared greedily at Cheng Ying with a look of desire on their faces. However, when the middle-aged man revealed the starting bid, their faces changed and they started to hesitate.

For a moment, the middle-aged man couldn't help but feel a bit awkward. From the beginning, he knew that this auction was special, but he didn't expect it to be this special.

It was normal for these people not to auction other items in order to create a flurry of auctions, but now that Cheng Ying had taken them out, these people all became silent for a moment. This was rather abnormal.

"One billion!"

After a long moment, as everyone was thinking about this, Meng Fan's expression suddenly changed. With an indistinct smile, he raised the small number 37 and shouted.

"Wandering souls!" If I remember correctly, you're still a bodyguard! You can take out 1 billion! Although this Cheng Ying is yours, you still wouldn't raise the price so maliciously, right? "

However, Meng Fan's words caused everyone else to be displeased. As soon as Meng Fan finished speaking, someone began to mock him. It was as if they were very displeased with Meng Fan's actions of calling out a price.

However, not everyone was concerned about what Meng Fan was saying. Immediately, people began to bid, and soon, the price rose to the past.

"2 billion!"

"3 billion!"

The speed at which the price rose was something that Meng Fan had seen many times before, and it frightened him quite a bit. However, while he was still in a daze, those people seemed to have gone crazy.

Faced with such a scene, Meng Fan subconsciously looked at Liu Xia, who was also looking at him. The two of them looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes at the same time.

Normally speaking, Meng Fan would be willing to auction Cheng Ying away. After all, even a deal worth billions of dollars was extremely attractive to Meng Fan!

"Brother Fan!" "Otherwise …"

While Meng Fan was still lost in his thoughts, Liu Xia stammered, appearing as if he wanted to say something but was unable to do so.

"I didn't think that much!" "Even if we really want to sell out our Cheng Ying, do you think those people will let us spend that money safely? The result will be the same then!"

Meng Fan seemed to understand Liu Xia's thoughts. He immediately choked back the words that Liu Xia wanted to say without thinking.

However, just at that time, there were people who raised the price to 30 billion. Only now did those people seem to feel some pressure. Every time the price was raised, the people who were bidding would hesitate for a while.

After all, tens of billions of dollars was a huge amount of wealth for any force. Even the large consortia outside the country would directly withdraw tens of billions of dollars in liquid funds.

However, in Meng Fan's eyes, these people's actions were like those of children playing house. No matter how much they bid, it was as if they weren't talking about money. This really made Meng Hao feel as if what they were doing wasn't real.

After all, not to mention tens of billions, even hundreds of millions, Meng Fan had never seen someone like this before. Everyone present was shouting out tens of billions, and as the person in the shadows, Meng Fan's challenge to the heart was not light.

"Good!" This friend called out a bid of forty-three billion! Is there anyone higher!? " Not long after, someone called out a bid of 43 billion. Perhaps because the price was a bit too high, the surrounding people all became silent. The middle-aged man who had been standing on the auction stage also shouted out with a hoarse voice.

After all, to anyone, a price of tens of billions was enough to drive them mad. Even if this middle-aged man was so calm and collected, to personally witness a sword being auctioned off at 40 billion, how could he not be excited!
