Lin Chen walked out of the auction house, and the other people were anxiously waiting for him.

"Lin Chen, why did you stay inside for so long? Are you hogging the good stuff inside while we wait out here in the cold?" Alice complained a little.

"Am I that kind of person? I'll take you inside the auction house to enjoy the good things," Lin Chen laughed.

Lin Chen had just entered the auction hall, but the real auction house was next to the auction hall.

"To the auction house! Brother, look at how many people are lining up to get in?" Zhang Yu pointed with a wry smile at the people waiting in line for the auction house.

Although it was just past four in the afternoon, the line of people waiting to enter the auction venue stretched for several kilometers.

Oh my, this auction is surprisingly popular.

"I heard the tickets have already shot up to fifty thousand. Lin Chen, we don't have that kind of money," Li Mengli said somewhat dejectedly.

Lin Chen smiled faintly, "Don't worry, just follow me, no ticket needed."

Looking at the crowd waiting to enter the auction, Lin Chen also frowned. This could take forever.

Then Lin Chen's gaze fell onto a place not far away; it was like another world compared to here.

Not far away, the auction house was laid with a red carpet, flanked by beautiful women with enchanting looks, with a row of black-armored warriors standing on each side of the beauties.

These warriors exuded a chilling aura, keeping the martial artists in line far away from that area.

At that moment, a Cadillac sedan suddenly stopped at the entrance, and a young man with a sinister look stepped out of the car.

The young man was dressed in high-end international brands, very handsome, but his face was somewhat pale, and Lin Chen could instantly tell that this guy's body was drained.

Despite this, the aura emanating from the young man was not weak, having reached the initial level of the Demigod Realm in strength.

"This young man is about the same age as me, and he can reach the Demigod Realm strength," Lin Chen was secretly astonished.

Lin Chen knew how hard it was to reach the Demigod Realm, having only achieved it step by step with Xiao Shuai's help.

It seems Baijiao City is full of hidden talents.

"Look, the Yuan family has arrived."

"That young man must be Yuan Lang, the eldest young master of the Yuan family. I heard he single-handedly killed three Dragon Group elites not long ago."

"The Yuan family, I heard they practice some extremely sinister martial arts, daring even to provoke the Dragon Group, such audacity."

"What can the Dragon Group do? He's the eldest son of the Yuan family, and his father Yuan Kui is one of the top ten strongmen in the gang. Even if he causes a scandal, his father can cover it."

Listening to the crowd's discussions, Lin Chen's eyes narrowed slightly.

A few days ago, he heard from Old Dragon that a Dragon Group elite was killed in country R, and he wanted Lin Chen to pay attention while in country R. Unexpectedly, he met the main culprit here; he imprinted Yuan Lang's appearance in his mind, planning to find an opportunity to capture or kill this boy to honor the fallen Dragon Group elite.

Just as Yuan Lang was about to enter the auction hall, he felt a cold gaze watching him. He paused and looked in Lin Chen's direction.

But Lin Chen was dressed very plainly, with nothing particularly noticeable. Yuan Lang frowned and walked into the auction house amidst the crowd.

From the cold aura emanating from Yuan Lang, Lin Chen could tell he practiced a very venomous martial art. He had heard people gossip that this guy's power improvement was achieved by absorbing human blood. It seemed there was more truth than hearsay.

After Yuan Lang and others entered the auction house, many more luxuriously dressed people also entered.

No need to ask, those who could enter from there were strong forces from the underground world.

This opened Lin Chen's eyes quite a bit, it turns out there are many strong individuals in the underground world of superhumans.

In this world, there is no fairness anywhere. Just like this auction, the strong can walk proudly on red carpets, led by beautiful women, into the auction house, while ordinary martial artists have to queue in the cold, enduring the chill and noise.

"Damn it, just because they have a VIP card, what's so awesome about it? Wait till I get rich, I'll get a VIP card too," a bald man next to Lin Chen grumbled angrily.

Oh, so that was the VIP card channel, wait, I seem to have a VIP card too.

Realizing this, Lin Chen awkwardly said to Zhang Yu and the others, "We seem to not have to queue up; we can go that way."

"What did you say, take the VIP passage? Dude, look carefully at who can walk that passage; be careful you'll get thrown out," the bald man mocked.

Lin Chen ignored the bald guy, leading the others toward the VIP passage.

Seeing Lin Chen actually walking toward the VIP passage, the bald man snorted coldly, "There really are fearless ones in the world, daring to cross the VIP passage, kid, you're courting death."

However, when Lin Chen showed a gold card to the guard at the entrance, the guard respectfully saluted Lin Chen and let them in.

"How is this possible, this kid actually has a VIP card?" The bald man couldn't believe it; he couldn't fathom that a young man dressed so shabbily could be someone with a VIP card.

Knowing that it takes auction items worth ten million to get a VIP card at the auction house, this young man didn't look like someone who possessed ten million at all.

People who could have a VIP card were extremely rare, as currency outside was not circulated in Baijiao City but rather their unique Baijiao coins, making it incredibly difficult to accumulate ten million in wealth here.

Reaching the entrance, Lin Chen deliberately paused and gave a teasing glance at the bald man.

The bald man's face stiffened, eyes filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred.

Lin Chen stepped onto the plush carpet, led by a scantily clad beauty, and entered the auction house.

Walking through a narrow corridor, Lin Chen's eyes brightened as the space suddenly opened up.

"Wow, it's huge!" Lin Chen couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

The auction house was enormous, and very luxuriously decorated. All the seats were gilded, filling the place with a splendid, dazzling atmosphere.

"Sir, this is your box," a maid said respectfully.

Lin Chen brought his group into the box, which was even more luxuriously appointed, with a soft carpet on the floor, making one feel light as they stepped on it.

The center of the box had a coffee table with fresh fruit laid upon it.

"Sir, would you like some refreshments?" the maid asked with a smile.

"Do you have anything to eat? We haven't had dinner yet," Zhang Yu asked, somewhat embarrassed.

The maid smiled and said, "Of course we do," then handed over a menu.

Whoa, such a feast, everything from shark fin, abalone, and sea cucumber, even some rare birds—it was almost overwhelming in its abundance.

Zhang Yu almost drooled over the menu, "How much is this?"

The maid smiled lightly, "Since you are VIP guests, everything is complimentary."

"Great, I'll have one of these, and one of these, and one of these," Zhang Yu said excitedly.

The maid looked at Zhang Yu with curious eyes, "Isn't this guy a Taoist? Why is he ordering all meat dishes?"

Lin Chen sat on the soft seat, took a sip of Pu'er tea, and the coldness from his body dissipated.

Suddenly Lin Chen's gaze sharpened because he sensed a cold aura coming from not far away.
