However, it wasn't completely peaceful in the auction hall after the Xu Family Head made a bid.

In VIP room 8, there was another struggle that happened between Lei Feng and Shi Yan.

"Young master Lei, you can't do that! If you keep doing this, it will ruin the auction!" Shi Yan said as he firmly held onto Lei Feng's hand to prevent him from pressing the button to make a bid.

Lei Feng didn't even spare him a glance as he stared at VIP room 2 without blinking.

It had only been a few days since Lei Feng had started investigating Lin Fan with all his forces and it didn't take him long to figure out that the Xu Family was working for Lin Fan.

Lin Fan had hidden many things about his involvement with the Xu Family, but there were still a few members of the One Shadow Organization that he missed. Through those people, Lei Feng had learned that the Xu Family was working with Lin Fan.

As for the reason why he had contact with the One Shadow Organization, he had been watching them for some time because they had something that he wanted. After the Xu Family defeated the One Shadow Organization and took everything from them, the thing that he wanted was now in the hands of the Xu Family.

Since the Xu Family had suddenly made a bid, he knew that it had to be Lin Fan making a bid through them because of what happened last time.

That was why he wanted to immediately make a bid to suppress them.

However, Shi Yan wouldn't let him do that for two different reasons.

The first was naturally to preserve the auction.

If they as the organizers allowed people to randomly bid and suppress people in the auction, naturally they would lose face. Not to mention that doing this would damper the mood of the auction, which would ruin the effect that they wanted to achieve.

Second, it was because they had plans for the Xu Family already.

That was why the Xu Family had won their bid so easily the first time.

The unspoken rule was that after the auction, anything went. If you were able to return safely, then the matter was over, but if you couldn't…There was nothing else to say in that situation.

They had let the Xu Family win a bid just so they could take advantage of this unspoken rule.

Seeing that Lei Feng wasn't saying anything, Shi Yan quickly added, "We'll take care of the Xu Family after the auction, so just hold in your anger for now. Not to mention, if he really is working with the Xu Family, he wouldn't just watch as they…"

Hearing this, Lei Feng's expression relaxed a bit.

He knew that Shi Yan was right, if the Xu Family was working with Lin Fan, they would definitely ask him for help if they were in danger. After all, that was the basis of any cooperation.

Shi Yan saw his expression relax and he quickly added, "I'll personally take action this time so that nothing will go wrong. That should be enough for you, right, young master Lei?"

Lei Feng's expression relaxed even more when he heard this.

Even if he didn't show it, he had to admit that Shi Yan was good at getting things done, even if sometimes some plans ended in failure.

The last assassination plan had failed because the Hunters Organization had interfered, but when carrying out the plan, Shi Yan had made sure that everything in place. It was just bad luck that they had failed.

Now that Shi Yan was saying that he was personally acting, Lei Feng felt a bit more reassured.

After a pause, Lei Feng raised his hand away from the buttons to make a bid and said in a cold voice, "Make sure to bring me his head."

Shi Yan let out a sigh of relief when he heard this before sitting back down and saying, "Relax, I'm going personally. It'll be easy."

Lei Feng didn't say anything and just gave a nod in response to this.

This had all happened earlier before Shuang Dong received an order in her earpiece to quickly sell off the blade to the Xu Family.

The Xu Family Head knew that something was off, but he sat there with a calm look on his face. His hands however were anything but calm as he quickly sent a message to Lin Fan.

However, the message that he received back was one that made him knit his brows.

"Act normal."

Just two simple words.

How could the Xu Family Head act normal when he knew that there was a plot at play?

Still, since Lin Fan had said this, he had no other choice.

He knew that Lin Fan had other plans, so the only thing he could do was play his part.

​ The auction continued on and soon it had been an hour since the auction had started.

During this time, there had been over twenty items that were sold, but not a single one was the item that everyone had come here for.

After waiting for an hour, there were people that were starting to get impatient and began whispering to the people sitting beside them.

Shuang Dong had a very sharp pair of ears as that was required for her to read the mood of the crowd. She could hear the whispers that were passing through the crowd and knew that the time was right.

After selling the item that had been taken out, she gave a nod to the staff member that was bringing the item back into storage. The staff member immediately understood what she meant since this was coordinated between them and quickly headed off into the back.

After that staff member was gone, Shuang Dong announced, "We will now be taking a short five minute break to prepare the next item, but I can tell everyone that it is the item that you have all been waiting for."

Then without saying another word, Shuang Dong gave a bow to the crowd and headed into the back as the lights came back on in the hall.

Intermissions like this could be considered normal since the auction had already been going for over an hour, but everyone knew what this intermission was really for. No one left their seats, but no one talked to each other either as they all started making calls.

Everyone even glared at each other with hostility, like they were enemies that were about to fight each other.

Well, that wouldn't be the wrong way to describe it because they were technically enemies that would be fighting over the next auction.

Everyone could understand what Shuang Dong had meant by "the item that you have all been waiting for", since their goals were the same in coming to this auction. It was clearly the Ancient Era Ruin token that was coming up for auction next.

There were twenty in total, but everyone knew that this first one would be the one that would be the most contested, while also being the cheapest.

Each token sold meant that there was one less token that was available. As more and more tokens became unavailable and the amount of tokens left diminished, it would make people more and more desperate.

When people were desperate, it was hard to guess what they would do.

Some people might even go all in and increase the price far beyond their limits.

Not to mention that everyone knew that there were the twelve great factions backing people in the crowd. Once the twelve great factions made their move, it wouldn't be their place to stand on stage anymore. The price would reach a level that they wouldn't even dare imagine.

So everyone started making calls to check how much funds their family members had been able to procure and see if they could procure more funds during this time. After all, every single spirit stone would help.

Five minutes passed much slower for these people who were tense compared to the people in the VIP rooms. They weren't as worried as much since they had already prepared everything, they had taken the upper limit of what their factions could take out without anyone getting suspicious, so they wouldn't be able to take out more money even if they wanted to.

The only thing they could do now was hope that the other factions hadn't taken out more money than them.

Of course, the two factions that everyone was most worried about were the Alchemy King Hall and the Tamers Guild.

It wasn't an exaggeration to say that their businesses were the most lucrative out of the all of the twelve great factions, so they were the ones that had the most assets. That meant that they would be able to move more money out compared to the other factions.

But their one downside was that they were neutral factions and didn't have as many families under them as the other factions.

So even if they had more money, they had less people to bid and that meant less tokens to win.

No faction was willing to let one of the families under them win more than one token because that would seem too suspicious, so the less people they had, the less people they had that could make bids.

Finally the five minutes passed and the lights dimmed again before Shuang Dong appeared on the stage.

She looked over the crowd and seeing the tension that was there, she revealed a smile.
