Chapter 173 The Blood Scripture Appeared Unexpectedly
The auction venue was once again heated!
Surprisingly and inexplicably, the sixth lot appeared!
Neither Captain Dean nor the beautiful host knew about it. RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
The audience at the guest table was even more puzzled.
When Dean pulled off the red cloth covering the lot, everyone stretched their necks forward to see what it was.
"This is ......"
Dean, who was in the centre of the venue, looked at what was under the red cloth, and his face changed drastically.
It was an ancient book with bright red handwriting of the Dragon Kingdom's traditional characters.
He quickly picked up that ancient book, flipping it open and reading a few pages.
Inside, all of the pages were full of red characters!
At that moment, something occurred to Dean. He turned back violently and looked at the seventeenth guest seat.
In the guest seat was Cynthia and a man in a suit!
With just a glance, Dean hurriedly put the ancient book away in his arms and said to the beautiful host, "This is not the auction item. Keep working!"
The beautiful host nodded in a trance, put away her astonished look, and said loudly: "I'm sorry, everyone. It's our staff who made a mistake. It's not a lot. We're still working according to the process. The honourable guests who have won the lot stay behind and wait for the transaction, and those who haven't won the lot, please leave!"
It turned out to be a wasted joy. There were bursts of complaints in the guest seats.
Those guests who didn't win the lot left resentfully!
Cynthia and her male companion didn't win the auction, but they walked stumbling at the end, looking at Dean occasionally.
Next, it was time to pay the price.
Ben won the dragon pattern long-neck vase for 4 million dollars!
Mark won the white dress worn by Marilyn Monroe for 1.2 million dollars!
Dominick won T Country's ancient martial arts book "The Forbidden Fist of Death" for 3.6 million dollars!
Ben won the gem "Blue Ocean" for 11 million dollars!
The mysterious youth won Jadia's famous sword, Ogre Slayer, for 10 million dollars!
Everything went according to plan, and they got their items.
The focus of attention was Ben, bidding 15 million dollars this evening for his favourite curio and the blue gem!
"Ms. Sherry, this knife is yours!"
The youth who had paid for the Ogre Slayer gave it to Sherry.
A knife auctioned for ten million dollars was given away for free!
"Thanks!"
With a soft word, Sherry took the Ogre Slayer!
Only Ogre Slayer could kill the evil spirits in her heart. Whether she could live a clean and pure life depended on it!
"Never mind. I'm just keeping my word!"
The youth smiled and nodded as he left without a single word!
Looking at the youth's back, Sherry was indifferent.
But the bald old man Jared stood beside her and said: "10 million dollars is not a small amount. No one will spend so much money for nothing. I'm afraid that this person also has bad thoughts in his heart!"
"Whatever. I should be grateful!" Holding the Ogre Slayer, Sherry was much more down to earth!
She swore silently, "No matter if you are a Ghostly King or a brat, next time I meet you, I'll kill you."
With the transaction completed, the auction finally came to an end!
The auction was full of twists and turns, with much gunpowder flavour!
But it was true that the organizer made a lot of money.
Taking Ogre Slayer as an example, the transaction price far exceeded its actual value!
Logically, having made money, Dean, as the ship's captain, was bound to be happy.
But at this moment, he had an anxious look and hurriedly came to a secret room on the ship, pacing back and forth!
In the meantime, he took out the ancient book and flipped it.
"Why hasn't Miss Cynthia come yet?"
After waiting for a long time, he stopped on his feet and howled at his men.
Several of his men were startled, and one of them said, "We have already invited her twice. She would be here soon!"
Just then, the door to the chamber opened!
Cynthia entered the chamber with the man in the suit!
"What the hell is going on here? Is this the Blood Scripture that the Lord wanted?"
Upon seeing Cynthia, Dean immediately couldn't help but question!
Instead of answering the question, Cynthia stepped forward and took Blood Scripture from Dean's hands, "Let me see it first!"
She flipped the Blood Scripture open. After carefully looking at it, Cynthia also had an incredulous expression!
"How is it possible? I've just confirmed that I haven't lost my Blood Scripture. How did another Blood Scripture appear?"
This Blood Scripture was almost identical to the one in her hand!
Without close checks, distinguishing the two books would not be easy!
It was wired. How did another Blood Scripture appear out of nowhere?
And why was this Blood Scripture being offered as a special auction tonight?
Things were too strange for her to understand!
Dean accused Cynthia, "I have told you to give me the Blood Scripture as soon as you get on the ship, but you said that you are afraid of accidents and are willing to take out the Blood Scripture only when the cruise ship reaches its destination. Now, this strange thing happened. What should we do?"
Facing the accusation, Cynthia said tit for tat, "You don't have the right to question me yet. There are people from Silverwood on the cruise ship. Most likely, they are here to track down Blood Scripture. I won't hand over Blood Scripture to you until we reach our destination!"
When she first boarded the ship and saw Gabriel, she felt things weren't going well.
Gabriel has been involved in several significant events about Blood Scripture in Silverwood.
It was almost certain that Gabriel was here for Blood Scripture!
That's why she didn't hand over Blood Scripture to Dean in the first place!
She knew what terrible punishment she would face if she lost Blood Scripture!
Keeping the Blood Scripture in her own hands would be the safest!
Dean said, "But Gabriel is already dead. You should take out the Blood Scripture to let me compare these two books?"
Last night, when Gabriel and Kelly fought, he purposely didn't offer help to let Gabriel die!
Now that Gabriel has drowned. There were no more scruples. He had to get his hands on Blood Scripture!
He wondered if Cynthia had lost the Blood Scripture and was deliberately trying to stall him here. He doubted that the one he had in his hands was the Blood Scripture!
In order to figure this out, Cynthia must give him the Blood Scripture.
If she couldn't give it, his suspicions would be proved!
"I can't give it to you yet. I must wait when the ship docks and our men pick it up. Then, I will take out the Blood Scripture. Since Silverwood appointed Gabriel to come here, someone might have tracked down the Blood Scripture. The best way is to stay put!"
With those words, Cynthia turned around and walked away without stopping!
Just as she reached the secret room entrance, she turned back again and said to Dean, "Dean, you and I are of the same rank. From now on, you'd better respect me and don't yell at me!"
She gave a cold snort before leaving the chamber.
"Bitch!"
Dean grimaced and angrily kicked over the chair.
