Chapter 182: Pretending to Be Pitiful?
The moment she cried, Thomas could not take it anymore. “What’s a country bumpkin without an invitation still doing here? Where’s the gatekeeper? Hurry up and kick her out.”
He roared angrily. Unfortunately, even after a long time, no one paid him any attention. Thomas seemed to feel embarrassed, and his face turned a lot paler.
Audrey only gave him an indifferent glance before she planned to walk into the auction house.
Seeing that Audrey completely ignored him, Thomas’ expression became even uglier.
“You actually dare to look down on me? First-class fighting technique, lightning fist!”
He directly used a fighting technique, and the fighting spirit in his entire body soared. His fist, which was mixed with lightning, ruthlessly smashed towards Audrey. However, a moment later, his fist was blocked halfway.
A slender hand directly blocked his fist. Then, for some unknown reason, the battle technique that he had prepared earlier actually dissipated instantly.
As for the owner of that hand, she used his other hand to touch her chin without feeling any pain. She looked at the locked door in front of him, thinking about how she should enter.
He saw Audrey gently move her arm. She did not seem to use any strength at all. Then, however, a clear sound of bones colliding rang out.
“Ah!”
Thomas burst out in a scream and used all his strength to pull out his hand. Only then did he realize that the back of his hand was already red. After all, he had used all his strength just now, yet his opponent easily subdued him.
There was only one thought in Thomas’s mind.
Audrey, I must not provoke her!
“Brother! Brother, how are you? It looks like it hurts! Sob, sob, sob.” Maggie was so anxious that she was about to cry.
Audrey ignored all the noise behind her and looked at the closed door in front of her seriously. “This door doesn’t have a key. How do I get in… do I have to tear this door down?”
Suddenly, a kind voice came from beside her.
“Miss, please wait.”
Audrey frowned and looked in the direction of the voice. Suddenly, her vision blurred, and a figure appeared in front of her. The person looked to be in his fifties. Although his hair was white, he gave people a feeling that he was very energetic and capable.
Audrey noticed the ‘appraiser’ tag on his body and instantly realized that this person’s status was definitely not low. After all, he could conceal his aura so well that she did not even notice it. It could be imagined how strong the other party was.
“Miss, do you not have an invitation?” The older man asked with a kind smile.
Audrey nodded. This person probably saw that she was about to make a move and wanted to protect their door, so he chose to speak to her.
It had to be said that it was a wise choice.
“Can I enter without an invitation?” Audrey asked politely.
Her appearance made everyone’s eyes drop to the ground.
Who was this polite person? Was she not the one who had destroyed a Tier-1 battle technique without batting an eyelid just now?
Reginald did not expect her to be so fickle. He just smiled awkwardly. “Little girl, if you want to come in, I can let you in. I’m in the first room on the right-hand side of the second floor. I have something to ask you. Can you come and find me?”
It just so happened that she also wanted to ask him about how high-grade potions should be auctioned.
Audrey agreed and saw the man in front of her gently raise his hand. Then, the door that seemed to weigh a thousand pounds was easily pushed open.
Audrey pursed her lips. As expected, the other party was very unfathomable.
With this thought in mind, Audrey raised her foot and walked in, completely ignoring the two people behind her.
At this moment, Maggie looked at the two of them. The shock was written all over her face.
“Was that the Hand of God just now? I heard that as long as he appraises something, it can be auctioned for a sky-high price. Moreover, he is also the best appraiser in our country…”
Maggie was so surprised that she could not close her mouth.
According to the reports, it would take an ordinary person’s effort to gain his favor even if they spoke to him. He had never even received a summons from the king.
He was a character who lived in the legends. Today, he appeared in person, and he even took the initiative to invite Audrey, who did not have an invitation card, in.
What kind of good deed did Audrey do to have such good luck… she gritted her teeth and looked at the slim figure who had already entered the glass door, her eyes filled with hatred.
Audrey, you’re so lucky, Audrey.
“You wait. I’ll see what kind of thoughts are hidden under that hypocritical face of yours sooner or later.” Maggie thought to herself.
“Thomas, get up quickly. The two of us should go in as well. We have an invitation letter, so why are we going in later than her?” Maggie hugged Thomas’ arm tightly, unwilling to give up.
Thomas agreed and took out the invitation letter from his pocket. Then, he used the combat aura emitted from the invitation letter to successfully pass through the barrier at the entrance and enter the auction house.
At this moment, Audrey was already observing her surroundings.
Unlike the auction house she went to last time, this place clearly looked much more advanced. Yet, regardless of whether it was the decorations, there was a faint sense of subtle but luxurious feeling.
