Chapter 369: Chapter 361: Too Bold_l

The value of the items in the warehouse was about 80,000.

He even suspected that Fang Hao was intentionally raising the price to trick him.

He decided to speak up directly, saying that if he increased the price again, he would concede.

But as soon as he said this, Fang Hao immediately raised the price, “Thankyou, 82600.”

This time, he only raised it by the minimum of one hundred gold.

The man’s face stiffened a bit.

But since he had already spoken, he couldn’t continue to bid against a young man.

So he simply put down the sign in his hand and silently started to drink his wine.

Seeing this, the auctioneer, after a few seconds of pause and no one bidding, made the final decision with a hammer gavel.

The goods of this warehouse were sold to Fang Hao for 82,600 gold coins.

Once the goods were in his hands, Fang Hao let out a sigh of relief.

The auction hosted by the City Lord’s mansion was still in a state of low-price quick sales.

After the items were appraised, they were sold at a minimum price for everyone to bid on.

But the prices wouldn’t be too outrageous.

Now that Little You is at the green Tier 4 level, after she gets this weapon, her tier will be raised again.

The auctioneer began to introduce the items from the next warehouse, which was an assortment of gold and silver ornaments.

Fang Hao wasn’t very interested, so he turned to Eric and said, “Sowhat’s next? Where do I make the payment?”

He didn’t know anything about this process.

There was no one to tell him, so he could only ask the fat man next to him.

“Don’t rush, someone will come to find you later, you just have to give the money to get the keys then.” explained Eric.

“Oh!” Fang Hao nodded in agreement.

Surely, during the sixth round of the auction.

A maid walked over and whispered, “Sir, you have purchased the items from Warehouse No. 402, would you like to make the payment now?”

“Can I pay later?”

“Yes, if you don’t have the money with you, you can deliver it within two days.” The maid answered with a smile.

The auction invites all the town’s dignitaries, one could say the City Lord’s mansion knew the identities of everyone.

They weren’t afraid they would default on the payment, and with the vast amount of the transactions, some really did need to pay later.

“Oh, I’ll pay now.” Fang Hao took out three Warfire Cards with a denomination of 10,000 and put them on the tray in the maid’s hand.

According to the exchange rate between Warfire Coins and gold coins.

More than 80,000 gold coins was equivalent to over 27,000 Warfire Coins.

“Alright, please wait a moment, sir.” The maid nodded, took the money, and left directly.

Three minutes later, the maid came back.

She handed over a warehouse key to Fang Hao and whispered, “Sir, this is the key to Warehouse No. 402. The goods can be stored for another 10 days. If you haven’t taken them after 10 days, there will be a storage fee of 3 gold coins per day.”

“Alright, I understand.” Fang Hao nodded and took the key.

He didn’t need 10 days, he had bought collectibles and their volume wasn’t big.

When the time came, he could just put them into his storage space and take them away directly.

The maid nodded too, and then turned around to leave.

The auction entered the tenth round, and the items up for auction became city properties.

There were residential houses as well as commercial shops.

Fang Hao took a liking to one of the warehouses, and bought it for 120,000 to use as storage.

Time passed little by little.

The auction ended at midnight.

The gorgeously dressed dignitaries were chatting and leaving at the same time.

They got on their carriages and left.

“Mr. Fang Hao, it’s great to meet you, I hope we can meet again sometime.” Eric said goodbye to Fang Hao, too.

“Goodbye, Mr. Eric.” Fang Hao also responded with a smile.

This fat man was quite intriguing, he had found out many things about Lyss City from him in that one night.

Eric nodded, turned around, and left.

After a while, most of the people had left the main hall.

The few remaining nobles were also chatting while heading outside.

Fang Hao directly sat down next to Laurana, “I thought you liked quiet.”

“A little bustle once in a while is also good.”

“Where did you go?” Fang Hao asked.

Laurana leaned back in her soft chair, “I went to the commercial street and the temple, and sat in your hot pot restaurant for a while. It’s doing quite well.”

Goodness, she even dared to visit the temple.

“Lyss City has a large population, so it’s easy to see the results of doing business,” said Fang Hao.

“Hmm.” Laurana quietly replied.

Just as Fang Hao was about to ask Laurana when she planned to leave,

A maid hurried over.

“Mr. Fang Hao, the lady wishes to speak with you about the dress matter.”

“Oh, lead the way,” he replied.

Fang Hao stood up and followed the maid up the stairs.

Rebecca was waiting in the second floor hall, and seeing Fang Hao entered immediately made her smile disappear.

“Is this the dress you sent? It’s so form-fitting.”

The cheongsam was indeed form-fitting, and the pattern across the fabric was dazzlingly beautiful, like the stars of the night sky.

All night, she felt the hot gaze of all the men in the room on her.

Her cheeks were burning.

There was also a bizarre feeling in her heart, somewhat shy but also somewhat womanly pride.

“Yes, this kind of dress is not easily worn by many. If one does not possess a perfect figure, they will not be able to wear it,” Fang Hao said, noticing Rebecca’s displeasure and quickly started to explain.

“It’s abit too much though,” she said.

“Mrs. Rebecca, by tomorrow the whole city will be discussing your dress sense. Within three days, the ladies of high society will be vying to copy your outfit. You’ve absolutely dazzled everyone tonight,” Fang Hao declared.

With that said, Rebecca blushed and felt a sudden warmth throughout her body.

Before Rebecca could reply,

Fang Hao interjected, “Mrs. Rebecca, tomorrow fabric stores will be wanting to borrow your cheongsam to make replicas. I hope you don’t lend it to them. Design isn’t easy after all.”

Rebecca was quickly convinced by Fang Hao’s explanation.

If the ladies in the city wore this, there was nothing for her to be shy about.

“Don’t worry, I won’t do that,” replied Rebecca, sitting straight backdown, revealing her fair thigh from the slit of her dress.

“Just now I noticed you purchased a warehouse, do you have an interest in antiques?” Rebecca asked, steering the conversation away from dresses.

“Not really, I’m just participating. I always buy something, it’s about taking part,” Fang Hao said, taking a seat as well.

Rebecca rolled her eyes at him, “I always feel like you’re not quite right in the head.”

“Oh, I’m quite alright.”

Just as they were chatting,

A warning voice came from the staircase, “Miss, you cannot approach here casually.”

Fang Hao turned his head to look.

He saw Laurana standing on the stairs, her icy gaze fixed on the guardian.

The guard swallowed hard under her stare.

“Mrs. Rebecca, that woman came with me,” said Fang Hao immediately.

“Let the lady come through!”

The guard stepped aside, allowing Laurana to walk in. She silently stood by Fang Hao’s side.

Rebecca looked at Fang Hao again, her eyes full of inquest.

Fang Hao wasn’t sure why Laurana came up. He had to introduce her,

“Mrs. Rebecca, this is Miss Laurana. She is from the same city as me, and we happened to meet at the auction.”

Introducing Laurana’s identity was a bit challenging,

He couldn’t mention Crescent Heights,

So, he only claimed she was from the same city.

[The Beauty of the Lonely Night – Laurana has increased her Loyalty to you by

4 points, totaling 30 Loyalty.]

Just after making the introduction, Fang Hao received a system message.

He looked up at Laurana, and saw the beautiful icicle-like woman’s face colored slightly.

What’s going on?

He only introduced her, and he instantly gained 4 loyalty points.

The Bone Dragon he gave away only gained him 1 point.

“Mrs. Rebecca, it’s nice to meet you,” Laurana greeted her first.

Although Laurana has been alive for hundreds of years, she still looks in her twenties.

It’s just that her face is always cold, which makes people feel distant.

Rebecca was somewhat astonished at Laurana’s appearance.

She responded with a slight nod, “Nice to meet you, Miss Laurana. Is this your first time in Lyss City?”
