Chapter 243: Meet the Auction Again
"The annual auction officially opens today. As long as you have money, you can find everything you need there."
In the hotel, a huge advertisement flew through the air.
The person related to the auction house held a big loudspeaker in his hand and repeatedly played their slogan.
"Wow~ What kind of transportation did Jinan and the others take? This is the first time I've seen it!"
Tian Yueshi pointed at the unidentified object flying quickly in the air, with curiosity flashing in his eyes.
Jinan looked up at the figure in the sky that was about to disappear and explained,
"Flying fish can leave the water for five minutes and fly at high speed for a short period of time."
"There is such a magical thing in the Sabaody Archipelago."
Tian Yueshi exclaimed, with a strong interest in his eyes.
"That auction seems quite interesting, should we go take a look?"
Jinan thought for a moment and nodded.
"Okay, I just caught up, and I don't lack this little time."
He agreed to it for some unknown reason, feeling that he would gain something unexpected from going to the auction.
At this moment, a figure walked up to Jin An and stood beside him, speaking politely.
"Hello, little brother."
Jin An turned around and saw the man who was in the gambling house before, with a gentle smile on his face.
"Have I met you before? I felt a hint of inquiry in your eyes when you looked at me."
The man continued,
"Have we met somewhere?"
Jin An was stunned. He didn't expect the other party's perception to be so strong.
"This is the first time we've met, but I've heard of your name."
Jin An said frankly that he did know the other person, but only in his previous life.
"Is that so?"
The man stretched out his right hand and smiled.
"I can feel the righteousness emanating from you. You are a very good person."
Jin An also stretched out his hand and shook hands with the other party.
"Thank you for the compliment."
The man heard their conversation and asked,
"So you guys want to go to the auction house?"
Without waiting for Jinan to answer, he continued,
"Can I go with you? I'll cover all the expenses this time."
Jin An smiled slightly and said seriously,
"It's not about money, it's mainly about making friends with you."
Tian Yueshi tugged at the corner of Jin An's clothes and whispered,
"Isn't this a bit bad..."
Jin An patted Tian Yueshi's hand and said with a smile,
"It's okay. It's all ill-gotten gains anyway."
The man nodded, smiling gently.
"Yes, this money was won from the gambling house. It doesn't matter how I spend it."
He paused, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.
"As for that casino... the owner has disappeared from this world."
Tian Yueshi glanced at Jin An and found that there was a hint of approval in his eyes.
She breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.
"In that case, let's go to the auction house together."
The three of them walked towards the auction house together.
Jinan and Tianyueshi walked side by side on the streets of the Sabaody Archipelago.
Yisheng was a little behind, and he knew the relationship between the two people in front.
He doesn't want to be a light bulb.
The sun in the sky cast a warm glow, shining on the shopping bags they carried.
Jinan's thoughts couldn't help but go back to the last time he came here to attend the auction.
Auctions at that time were mainly for the sale of slaves and were dark and depressing.
This time the auction was much larger in size and scope, it seemed more prosperous and attracted more people.
When they arrived at the entrance of the auction house, they saw that many people had gathered in the square.
The crowd was bustling and all kinds of noises mixed together, creating a lively scene.
Hawkers seized the business opportunity and set up stalls in the square, selling a variety of items.
Tian Yueshi's eyes swept across the dazzling array of goods on the stall, revealing a strong interest in his eyes.
"Jin'an, look there's a snack stand over there, let's go take a look!"
Tian Yueshi held Jinan's hand and said excitedly.
"I guess I won't be able to eat for a while after I enter the auction house."
Jinan (⊙o⊙)… “Didn’t we just come out of the hotel?”
"Oh, just think of it as eating the afternoon meal in advance."
Tian Yueshi didn't say anything and just pulled Jinan away.
Tian Yueshi was attracted by the various snacks on the stalls, and his eyes were shining as he stared at the delicious food.
She picked out a few of the most tempting snacks and handed some to Jin An.
"Try it too."
Jinan took the snack and said with a smile,
"You're such a little foodie."
Tian Yueshi stuck out his tongue playfully.
"Of course, food is one of my favorites."
While they were enjoying the food, Jinan's eyes inadvertently swept across the crowd in the square and saw some familiar faces.
Some were wealthy businessmen whom I had met at the last auction, and some were pirates who had become famous on the sea.
People gathered in groups of three or five to discuss the upcoming auction.
"I heard there will be a lot of rare treasures at this auction. I wonder if we can get them."
A wealthy businessman said to his companion, his tone full of anticipation.
"Yeah, I also heard that there will be some legendary devil fruits in this auction. I don't know if it's true or not."
echoed another.
When Jinan heard their conversation, his heart moved slightly.
It seems that this auction is not only large in scale, but the auction items are also very valuable.
He was a little curious and wondered what kind of surprises this auction would bring.
Tian Yueshi also heard the conversation. She pulled Jin An's sleeve.
"Jin'an, I heard that you need an invitation or proof of financial resources to enter the auction house."
"But we don't seem to have these things..."
Yisheng came over with a bowl of snacks.
"Don't worry about this. I have prepared it a long time ago."
Jinan and Tianyue were embarrassed. It seemed that they really had a very thick thigh this time...
Seeing that some people had already entered the venue, the three of them followed the crowd.
The two men walked through the crowd of onlookers and headed towards the door of the auction hall.
The guard at the door checked their invitation and politely let them in.
Walking into the auction hall, Jinan felt a strong business atmosphere. The surrounding decorations were gorgeous and artistic, and every detail seemed so exquisite.
They found their seats and sat down, waiting for the auction to begin.
Tian Yueshi looked around the venue, full of curiosity and anticipation.
Jin An closed his eyes slightly and scanned the entire auction hall with his Observation Haki.
With precise target pointing, the Observation Haki was able to clearly detect the situation in the auction house.
To his disappointment, most of the things here did not appeal to him.
