Pioneer Lord: Starting From Daily Intelligence
Chapter 678 - 55: The Auction and Foreseeing Lady Bayonetta
This auction is also related to the financial income of the Hesse Territory, and Su Li is extremely concerned, asking, "How is the effect of the publicity this time?"
"Very good." Chairman Elle twisted her slender waist, holding her elbow with one arm, extending a slender finger with the other hand to lightly touch her cherry lips, "100! Now there are already more than 100 qualified entrants after the fund verification."
This means that at least 100,000 Golden Crowns worth of wealth has been brought into this auction house!
Su Li’s face lit up with joy. This number would only increase, which means there will be enough wealth to participate in bidding for the auctioned items.
"We estimate that the final number of entrants will be around 200 people. Even if it doesn’t reach this number, it will exceed 180. Therefore, the products we auction will definitely have a premium."
When Chairman Elle was about to continue introducing things to Su Li, a sudden uproar and commotion came from afar.
"The Lady of the City Lord is here!"
"It’s Lady Bayonetta. She’s also going to participate in this auction."
"Lady Bayonetta? My goodness, she’s an even more mysterious woman than Chairman Elle. I’ve heard that even many senators who want to meet her face closed doors."
"Today is a feast for the eyes. So many beauties are participating. Even if I just compete with them in bidding, it won’t be a wasted trip!"
"Ah, I really hate myself for not having enough wealth, or I’d make the lady say ’no more’!"
Su Li was also immediately attracted. He had previously given up hope of meeting Lady Bayonetta, but unexpectedly, at the last moment of staying in Marle Castle, he really saw Lady Bayonetta.
The door of the gilded carriage opened, with high heels inlaid with sparkling rubies stepping onto the bright red velvet carpet. The arch of the foot wrapped in silk stockings formed a heart-stopping curve.
Then she bent down and got out of the carriage, the snow-white mink fur slipping half an inch from her shoulder, revealing her jewelry covered in stardust, as the fragmented light of the jewelry flashed past her fair skin, causing the crowd to gasp collectively, and many men instantly bent over.
This woman truly fulfilled all a man’s fantasies about a noblewoman. She was noble and elegant, and more importantly, every action, every frown, and every smile were filled with the charm of a young matron, sparking an uncontrollable impulse to subdue her upon first sight.
What made Su Li’s heart race even more was that this lady had headlong wine-red hair flowing down like molten red crystal glaze, reaching to her pale ankles. The entire auction square was bathed in this vibrant color. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎
She gently raised her hand, tucking a few strands of stray hair behind her ear, revealing her alabaster earlobe adorned with pigeon blood ruby, making her extraordinarily enticing and charming.
What was most breathtaking was the fluttering of her eyelashes when she glanced back, the corners of her eyes slightly raised by gold polish. As the light flowed in her eyes, there was a sense of detachment overlooking the crowd, yet at the moment of eye contact, the ripples in her purple pupils turned into honey-coated soft thorns.
Her image was so distinct, with that stunning wine-red hair and her enchanting, seductive figure. Even seeing her only once would etch her into memory!
No wonder Senator Smith launched his courting like a madman at her.
Chairman Elle’s proud allure and charm were instantly overshadowed by her! Even though she only made a brief appearance without saying a word.
In the face of her beauty and charm, any woman seemed to fade into obscurity. Her grace and the breathtaking curves of a mature woman were unmatched by any girl.
Only Aeliria’s Illusion Technique crafted body could contend with her. However, Aeliria’s overly cold and stern demeanor detracted from her pure feminine charm.
Although Chairman Elle was somewhat annoyed that her limelight was completely overshadowed by Lady Bayonetta, as a businesswoman, she valued interests above all. She immediately adjusted her mindset, and went over with a smile to welcome Lady Bayonetta, escorting her to the VIP passage.
When passing by Su Li, Chairman Elle made a deliberate introduction between the two, saying to Su Li, "Ladies and gentlemen, allow me the honor of introducing. This is the perpetual beauty of our Marle Castle, the Night Rose, Lady Bayonetta. The lady has a fondness for flowers, jewelry, and art pieces carrying the marks of civilization, especially bronze ware with ancient historical engravings or pottery pieces tinted by the moonlight of a thousand years. If Brother Su encounters such things, you must keep the lady in mind, okay?"
After speaking, she continued introducing to Bayonetta, "Lady, this is the rising star Bauhinia Knight. His territory lies at the foot of the Gray Mountain Range, which harbors numerous buried ancient ruins and Wizard Towers. The Bauhinia Knight has led the army in several epic victories, clearing out many monster nests and hidden ancient ruins. He is also a major provider for this auction’s items. If the lady finds something interesting, perhaps the Bauhinia Knight would offer you a little assistance."
Lady Bayonetta’s long eyelashes lightly trembled, her charming eyes sparkling as they briefly swept across Su Li, then she softly said, "There’s no need. The City Lord doesn’t like me befriending ambitious men. I will go in first."
Su Li couldn’t help but click his tongue. Lady Bayonetta is indeed as the rumors say, impervious to persuasion.
