Finally, after a long wait, the auction began.
The man was clearly a veteran. His square face gave him a steady and experienced air.
He began with a smile.
"You've all been waiting a long time, I'm sure. So, without further ado, the auction is about to..."
He was only halfway through his sentence when a flurry of chaotic footsteps from the entrance cut him off.
Just then, a cold voice piped up from the front hall seating area.
"Once the auction begins, no one is allowed entry. That is the rule at the Tianzhe Auction House.
For people to be forcing their way in now... how utterly brazen."
"Hah. To think they have such little regard for Tianzhe. Do people really dare to barge in? The sheer audacity."
"A pity. Tianzhe recognizes only its rules, not people."
Tianzhe had grown so powerful so quickly not just because of its powerful backing, but also because its rules had always been strict.
