Ms. Doctor Divine Chapter 1917

1917 Auction 1

Gu Chaoyan accepted the preferential treatment without hesitation, realizing that she wouldn’t have been able to make her way through the crowded entrance on her own. She followed the guard and smoothly entered the auction venue.

The auction for the authority token was taking place in the largest hall of the Haitian Auction House. However, due to the scale of the event, the venue still felt quite cramped.

As Gu Chaoyan took her seat in the exclusive section, she noticed that three people were already seated there. Duan Feng had mentioned that there were a total of eight individuals with the same special authority token as hers, including herself. With the arrival of these three individuals, there were still four more yet to come.

The three people already seated showed no reaction as Gu Chaoyan entered, as if they hadn’t noticed her presence at all.

Curious, Gu Chaoyan observed them closely.

The two individuals appeared to be astute, while the other person had a slightly plump physique. However, they all shared one common trait – an air of enchantment surrounded them.

It seemed that the three individuals were not acquainted with each other, as they didn’t exchange any glances or engage in conversation.

Gu Chaoyan had no idea who these people were, but their ident.i.ties didn’t matter to her. Her focus was solely on the auction for the authority token.

Soon, two more individuals arrived, appearing to be in the same state as the others. They took their seats without uttering a word.

A little while later, the last two individuals arrived. They seemed to be in close conversation with each other, their voices carrying over to the rest of the group.

However, what caught Gu Chaoyan’s attention wasn’t the pair conversing, but the only other woman present besides herself. Despite her youthful appearance, she exuded a sense of poise and composure.

The fact that there were eight individuals with special authority tokens in attendance indicated just how significant the token was, and everyone present was eager to acquire it.

Feeling her nerves, Zhou Huaijin gently grasped Gu Chaoyan’s hands and rea.s.sured her, “Don’t worry, I’m here with you.”

Gu Chaoyan nodded, finding comfort in his presence.

The auction hall was now packed with people, and the auction for the authority token commenced.

This auction differed greatly from previous ones. Rather than incrementally increasing the bid, the auctioneer raised the board by 1 million golden knives, opting for a more expedited process.

After the auctioneer outlined the rules, the hammer struck, marking the official start of the bidding.

Initially, it was the individuals in the audience who began raising their bids with golden knives.

There was a lack of activity from the rest of the audience. It wasn’t until the bid reached 10 million golden knives, with only a few signals from the outside, that individuals started raising their banners. Although there was no sound, they raised their banners directly when it was time to do so.

No one else seemed to be partic.i.p.ating in the bidding contest. It was only the eight individuals with special authority tokens who were actively raising the bids.

Gu Chaoyan continued to raise the board, regardless of the increasing price. Eventually, when the bid reached 90 million golden knives, only Gu Chaoyan’s name remained on the board.

Gu Chaoyan was surprised by her success. She hadn’t antic.i.p.ated that she would be the one to secure the authority token. She had expected the bidding to continue in a deadlock.

She knew the importance of being the first to acquire the token because most people would a.s.sume there was still one more available. It was the last chance when no one was willing to back down.

As for the second bidder, she didn’t raise her hand, but she continued to observe the situation closely.

This time…

In addition to the seven individuals present, there were others outside the auction house engaged in fierce compet.i.tion with each other.
