The Hefty Reward

The hall where the auction items were temporarily stored suddenly fell deathly silent.

The middle-aged man stared at Lin Baici, shock in his eyes, mixed with panic.

The seven most precious items reserved as the auction's grand finale weren't here, but the rest of the items were still worth a fortune.

The Dawn Foundation had organized such a lavish auction not only to make a huge profit, but also to maintain its influence. It would be a disgrace if the auction items were worthless junk.

Because the items were so valuable, every possible security measure had been put in place.

There were not only large numbers of guards on duty, but also these metal cases.

Opening them required the vice president, the secretary-general, and the head of security to be present. Each had to enter the password they knew in the correct order.

But Lin Baici had simply walked up and fiddled with the controls as if he were pressing buttons at random, and somehow he'd gotten it right!

If no one on the inside had leaked the password,

who would believe it?

And whoever had leaked it had to be high-ranking!

Sannomiya Airi raised an eyebrow and stared at Lin Baici in surprise, gaining a whole new appreciation for his abilities.

If he wanted to, couldn't he steal every God's Taboo Object in here?

Time was limited, and Lin Baici couldn't wait for the middle-aged man to take action. Before the white steam had even cleared, he activated Iron Body, then fished a basketball-sized metal sphere out of the case.

This thing was the Black Coffin.

The metal sphere, which should have been sealed, now had several cracks, and a rust-colored liquid was seeping out.

"Holy shit!"

"The Black Coffin is damaged!"

"Contamination's leaking! Get a new Black Coffin!"
