Chapter 758: “obtaining The Young World Tree”
The other guests who didn't win any items followed Ainsley and Jake because they wanted to see the Inheritance Stone from a closer distance.
However, Ainsley was on guard, afraid that any shameless guests would try to rob her. Thus, the baby was immediately circled by her people.
Around twenty people silently protected her in the middle, instantly putting pressure on the other guests who came with only two to four bodyguards.
"This family head is really cautious. She's not your average child, indeed." One of the non-mafia guests sighed in admiration at Ainsley's quick response.
She didn't offend the guests by chasing them away, but she silently shoved a warning to the guests.
'Do not cause any mishaps.'
With this silent warning, even some guests who had previously thought of robbing Ainsley swallowed back their evil plan and silently followed behind her.
They might be strong, but the 20 people surrounding Ainsley were all elites with more than two abilities. Ainsley herself was also strong, and there's still the mafia council protecting her in silence.
Thus, the guests behaved as the participants arrived on the first floor and started to exchange items.
The mafia council already prepared a long table for all participants to stand in one line and wait for the guests to pay for what they just bid for.
At the same time, the 35 participants already silently ranked each other based on their item's value that had been auctioned off.
The one at the first rank is obviously the Sloan Family, with a total value of 30 billion dollars. The second rank…the third, the fourth…
While the mafia council didn't announce the winners just yet, everyone could already guess the top ten based on the auction minutes ago.
Thus, while exchanging their prepared items with the guests' items, the participants either silently cheer for entering the top 10 or weep in silence for failing to become a high-ranking family.
Still, tonight's gain was a lot, even for the losers. They got to know many forces outside of the mafia society and got some valuable connections.
They also managed to trade items with other forces.
It's not that bad.
The other participants had already put their items on the table, and the guests started to approach the items they had won.
However, there's an anomaly here. Other participants' positions had only one or two people crowding the table to receive the items they had won.
On the other hand, Ainsley's table was so crowded that the mafia council had to create a human fence with their bodyguards to block the guests from crowding the table!
"Stand behind the line! Don't crowd over!"
"Make ways for Mr Billios!"
"Go, go!"
The guests obediently stopped at a certain distance from the table while Jake casually strode over to Ainsley's table.
When Ainsley saw Jake, she immediately put the Inheritance Stone on the red pillow and placed the pillow on the long table.
The guests who weren't too far from the Inheritance Stone immediately saw the Inheritance Stone's appearance up-close, and all of them gasped in admiration.
"Damn. That's the real Inheritance Stone. It can't be fake. That tornado inside isn't something we can produce."
"True, true. That Billios lad is so lucky."
"No, no, the lucky one should be that little brat. She somehow found an Inheritance Stone yet didn't use it and auctioned it instead."
"Say, I think she has more than one Inheritance Stone…"
The guests had already guessed the truth, but of them dared to ask Ainsley while the mafia council and Jake were here.
They're indeed the best families in the whole country, but it didn't mean they would act recklessly.
Since Ainsley could casually auction off such a precious stone, it means that she's confident in her safety measures.
If she's not confident she could keep her family safe from harm, she would never auction the Inheritance Stone.
No one was stupid here, and so, they suppressed their curiosity and thought of formally inviting Ainsley to meet them later instead.
At the same time, Ainsley already handed the stone to Jake while Jake handed the young World Tree's official certificate stamped by the Elven royalty.
When Axelle, who was standing behind Ainsley, saw the genuine certificate, his eyes instantly turned watery. The man couldn't help but poke Ainsley's shoulder and whispered in a trembling voice.
"M-master, that World Tree…I…"
I want to see the World Tree.
Axelle didn't dare to say this, but he really wanted to see the young World Tree. He had been away from his hometown for years and he missed the World Tree.
No elves would dislike the World Tree and they would have a natural longing for the tree. Axelle wasn't an exception, even when he was only a half-blood elf.
Sensing Axelle's deep longing and loneliness in his voice, Ainsley immediately agreed.
"Don't worry, after they transport the tree to our place…I'll bring you to the prairie to see the tree."
Only the family head could enter the prairie, but Ainsley would negotiate with the sacred beasts to let Axelle enter just so that he could see and touch the young World Tree.
Axelle's heart instantly burst with warmth as he wiped his tears.
"Hum. T-thank you, master. You are really good to me!"
While Axelle was feeling touched, Ainsley already secured the certificate and was now talking to her potential allies, all thirteen of them.
"Uncles and aunties, all of you have received the invitations, right? If so, should we hold the meeting right away?"
Ainsley wanted to confirm their collaboration as soon as she could.
After all, other forces would start to investigate how she found the Inheritance Stone. The matter with the island would be discovered sooner or later.
She had to hurry!
