April followed the crowd into Sea Eye Venerable's residence.
Unlike the auction held at the Auction House, Sea Eye Venerable's private auction was not nearly as formal.
There were no bidding paddles, no neatly arranged seats, and certainly no spacious display platform or professional host.
The venue for this private auction was the reception room of Sea Eye Venerable's residence. More than a dozen guests sat casually on sofas and chairs.
Even the guests who had come were all prominent and powerful figures among the sea monsters. Aside from April, there were no members of any other race.
Rather than an "auction," judging by the arrangements and preparations alone, it looked more like a tea party or salon—or even a casual gathering of old friends.
After all, these sea monsters all knew one another, and they were busy exchanging pleasantries.
For that very reason...
April stood out as being completely out of place among them!
"Strange. What is this human lady's background?"
Some of the sea monsters sized April up and asked in confusion.
Of course, since April had already appeared in this reception room, these prominent sea monsters were not fools. Naturally, they were not stupid enough to show her contempt or hurl sarcastic remarks at her simply because she was human.
Even those extreme hawks, racial supremacists who believed sea monsters stood above all others, and Sea Monster Nobles who hated humans had restrained those thoughts for the moment.
Especially since this was Sea Eye Venerable's residence—in the upper circles of sea monster society, it was no secret that Sea Eye Venerable had lost his tail and now possessed a life form similar to that of humans.
Therefore, with someone resembling a human appearing in Sea Eye Venerable's residence, no one could determine whether she was truly human.
