Chapter 307 Because I No Longer Need Clothes to Show Off Myself
The obelisk, whose real name is the Terrigen Crystal, has an outer metal shell that is not its main body. What really has magical effect is the mysterious blue crystal inside the metal.
This crystal emits a magical Terrigen Mist that turns anyone who inhales it into stone.
Only humans with Inhuman blood can survive the petrification state and acquire some magical superpowers.
Leni did not fully tell the origin of the obelisk to Skye. She only said that according to the information she has so far, this magical metal creation can give extraordinary abilities to certain people, but where exactly is it? A category of people that Leni did not elaborate on.
"Is this right here?"
Looking at the hotel building outside the car window, Skye was a little unsure.
Doesn’t it mean that so-called auctions like this will be held in some prestigious auction houses? Why is the actual address in a seemingly unknown hotel?
"It's probably out of a low profile. The organizers don't want to be caught in a place where mysterious items like that can be auctioned."
Meester, who was dressed in a dress, checked the Glock pistol in his hand to make sure that the Frigga bullet inside was loaded, and then inserted it into the holster on the outside of his thigh under his dress.
Leni glanced at the snow-white smooth skin and secretly thought that she was taking advantage of a certain otaku.
"Ahem! I don't know anything..."
Outside Panamera's car, James Wesley, who noticed Leni and others from a long distance away, quickly took the initiative to greet them.
"That was James Wesley, Kingpin's second-in-command."
Leni warned, then opened the door and got out of the car first.
"Miss Stark, I'm glad you can come. Our boss has prepared a box for you and your friends. The auction is about to begin. Please come with me."
After handing the car keys to the parking attendant, Leni glanced at Wesley and did not answer.
Although there didn't seem to be any media personnel around, the sudden appearance of myself as a shareholder of Stark Technology was still very eye-catching.
Therefore, Leni deliberately kept some distance from the other party, and her attitude was very cold.
There was no response, which made James Wesley a little embarrassed, but his good professionalism prevented him from showing any abnormality and consciously took two steps back to give up his position.
"This guy is not simple~"
Meister, who was wearing a silver-grey evening gown, walked slowly to Leni's side. She had also heard the conversation between the two just now, and she couldn't help but think highly of the second-in-command.
Leni raised her eyebrows and did not reply, but nodded slightly to express her agreement.
"Well, I'm not used to wearing this kind of clothes, and why don't you wear it, Leni?"
Skye complained softly from behind. She was used to the wandering life and had almost never worn this kind of evening dress. She was still a little uncomfortable with this kind of long dress that could be considered to be revealing.
"Because I no longer need clothes to express myself."
Leni looked up and down at Skye, who was wearing a light blue suspender skirt next to her. She couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth slightly, and teased a little funny:
"Didn't you say you wanted to come to the auction? Why, do you regret it?"
Skye curled her lips. Since there were many people watching around her, she could only break her teeth and swallow it.
"Follow me. You will inevitably participate in similar occasions like this in the future. It's better to get used to it early... Come on, let's go up and see what's here."
Nodding towards Wesley, Leni motioned for him to lead the way, and the three of them walked into the hotel lobby together.
"This way, Miss Stark."
Without staying in the lobby, Wesley took Leni and the three of them directly to an elevator that had been waiting for a long time.
"Please, three ladies."
Wesley didn't see any unnecessary movement. When the three of them came closer, the elevator door opened automatically. Wesley bowed slightly and made an invitation gesture, still maintaining a low posture.
Leni raised her eyebrows, thinking that Kingpin was right. With this second in command, it would be difficult for Kingpin not to succeed in his career.
After entering the elevator, Leni no longer maintained her attitude of refusing to accept others, and took the initiative to ask about Jin Bin's situation.
"What trouble has Fisk been in lately?"
Wesley, who was standing by the elevator door without daring to glance around, was slightly startled when he heard this, and then he felt a little relieved.
Since Miss Stark can take the initiative to talk to others, it means that she has not neglected others, and she can give an explanation to her boss.
"Well... we did encounter some minor troubles. The Hand from Japan have been secretly harassing us many times recently, but our people have solved them several times."
Leni nodded. She didn't know much about the so-called Hand. She only knew that they were a group of Japanese killers dressed in ninja costumes. If they really encountered them, I'm afraid it would be a matter of one shot.
No further questions were asked, just a brief greeting was enough. Leni was actually not very interested in the underworld.
The elevator went up very quickly, and soon it reached the top floor of the hotel building. Looking at the numbers displayed above the elevator, Leni raised her eyebrows slightly.
30th floor? Are the organizers here afraid that people will run away?
bite!
The crisp elevator prompt sounded, and Weasley walked out of the elevator first, ready to continue guiding Leni and others.
"No. 137! Once for No. 131! Twice for No. 131! Three times for No. 131! Transaction! Congratulations to buyer No. 131 for winning this collection!"
As soon as they stepped out of the elevator, an exciting bidding sound reached the ears of Leni and others.
Although it was not clear what was being auctioned inside, judging from the enthusiastic voice of the auctioneer with a magnetic voice, it seemed that the place inside should be particularly lively now.
"Here, Miss Stark, the boss has reserved a box specifically for you. I will take you there right now."
Following the other party's footsteps, Leni and others did not enter the venue directly through the door of the auction in front of them, but climbed the stairs from the side door to the second-floor terrace of the auction venue.
This so-called auction looked more like a studio hall to Leni, and the box Wesley mentioned was just a separate compartment on the second floor terrace area, but the decoration was more luxurious.
Through the single-sided glass in the compartment, Leni and others could overlook the auction venue below, but people in the venue could not see what was going on in the box.
"Miss Stark, if you like something, you can press the button here to bid. The bidding rules..."
Wesley briefly explained the requirements of the auction and how to participate in the auction to Leni, and then called on the service staff to bring some meals and drinks.
"If you have any needs, you can contact me here at any time. Our boss and I are right next door to you... Then, I won't bother you much."
"Yeah, I understand, thank you for your hard work."
After receiving Leni's affirmative reply, Wesley nodded and exited the box, closing the door behind him.
"Huh~ Finally gone!"
Seeing the outsiders leaving, Skye, who had been able to maintain a reserved posture, finally breathed a sigh of relief. After confirming that the people in the venue below could indeed see the situation inside the box, Skye quickly threw off the high heels on her feet and sat down. into the soft sofa.
"I don't want to suffer this kind of pain anymore. You don't know how nervous I was when I was outside just now. I was afraid that I would get my ankle sprained and make a fool of myself."
"It would be nice to have a place for you to rest. If it were a banquet, you wouldn't even have a seat now."
The thief is so annoying. The night market opposite my house has a loud speaker that is so noisy that people can't calm down. Orange calls the police and disturbs the people, but it's useless. It doesn't stop until 10 o'clock. It's so disgusting.
The next chapter is late, Orange should be able to catch up for everyone before 1 o'clock.
