Auction House

After putting the black card into his pocket, Manager Wang chuckled and said, "Haha, this matter is quite simple. Since this Destroyer is a friend of Brother Greedy Wolf, it's naturally self-defense. However, this Liu Kun is from the Reception Bureau, and it's not fair for him to die like this... How about this, you stay here with this friend in the 'Purple Mausoleum Tower.' Anyway, there are hundreds of floors here, and countless places to have fun. Just don't leave. I'll report to my superiors, including the 'Reception Bureau.' What do you think?"

Greedy Wolf nodded and said with a smile, "Then I'll have to trouble Steward Wang to take care of it."

After the management team left, Greedy Wolf sneered, "What an ungrateful dog! If it weren't for your powerful master, you, a mere A3 level, wouldn't even be worthy of carrying my shoes."

He then turned back to Li Wei and apologized, "I'm sorry, I thought I could just let this go, but I didn't expect..."

Li Wei felt a strange sense of gratitude. This Greedy Wolf was extremely forthright and generous, though a bit shrewd, but he had a clear sense of right and wrong and was indeed worth befriending. He quickly waved his hand and said, "Not at all, Brother Greedy Wolf, you've already done your best to exonerate me. I, Li Wei, am truly grateful. Moreover, if it weren't for Brother Greedy Wolf's intervention, I probably would have been taken away by these people long ago. I'm just unable to leave this building now. It just so happens that this is my first time here. If possible, Brother Greedy Wolf, please show me around..."

Li Wei spoke with utmost sincerity, even revealing his name. How could Greedy Wolf not understand? He laughed heartily and said, "Since Brother Li has spoken, let's enjoy a stroll around this 'Purple Mausoleum Tower' together."

It was only then that Li Wei learned that this enormous building was called 'Purple Mausoleum Tower,' considered the most luxurious place on the entire Star of Destruction. The first floor was a veritable Wine Pool and Meat Forest, but in Li Wei's eyes, it was just a restaurant.

The second floor was a casino, but Li Wei had no idea what was on the upper floors.

At this moment, Greedy Wolf pulled Li Wei aside and introduced Li Wei to the other two companions from the Werewolf Star Domain beside him. One was a strong man with an S1 combat power, named Bright Wolf, and the other was Bright Wolf's own brother, named Ming Dong.

Li Wei was no stranger to Werewolf; he had met the werewolf girl Alan and the martial arts fanatic Black Wolf when he was on a mission on Kai Star.

Li Wei had long had questions about the Werewolf's names, since some Werewolf' names always contained the word "wolf," while others did not.

Just like Alan, whose name doesn't contain the character for wolf, neither does the Ming Dong they've encountered.

Out of curiosity, Li Wei voiced his question, and the three members of the Greedy Wolf chuckled. Ming Dong revealed a set of sharp teeth and chuckled, "Let me explain. We Werewolf Star Domain revere strength and don't pay much attention to names. Brother Li, just remember this: anyone with 'wolf' in their name is the eldest child in their family. Only the eldest brother or sister can have 'wolf' in their name."

He glanced at Bright Wolf beside him, then continued, "My brother was only born a few hours before me, but he got there first and stole the 'wolf' character from our family name. I'm so resentful! If I had known, I would have definitely fought for first place back then."

Bright Wolf laughed and scolded, "My brother is right, that's true. But to live up to the name 'wolf,' I have to work hard. If my combat strength is surpassed by my brother, I'll be utterly humiliated."

Li Wei suddenly realized that Alan was probably not the eldest child in his family. It had been a long time since they last met. If he had the chance, he should take a trip to the Werewolf Star Domain.

The four chatted happily and before they knew it, they had reached the third floor.

The decoration here is much more magnificent than the two floors below. There are dozens of doors on both sides of a long corridor, and two huge figures stand at the door of each door.

Li Wei's eyebrows twitched.

Those enormous figures were actually 'Kai Star'.

Seeing Li Wei's expression change slightly, Tan Greedy Wolf was puzzled. After asking, he learned that Li Wei's forces actually included the Kai Star Domain, which was quite unexpected.

"Brother, you took Kai Star in?"

Li Wei nodded, unsure of the meaning behind Greedy Wolf's astonished expression.

After seeing Li Wei's confirmation, Greedy Wolf looked puzzled, then sighed and said, "Brother Li, do you trust me?"

Li Wei didn't know what Greedy Wolf was going to say, but Greedy Wolf had a generous personality and no conflict of interest with him, so he should be trustworthy.

"Of course I trust you, Brother Greedy Wolf. What's wrong with Kai Star?"

Greedy Wolf looked around, then pulled Li Wei to a secluded corner and whispered, "If you trust me, brother, take my advice: you shouldn't go for Kai Star."

Greedy Wolf spoke with a serious expression, not like he was joking. Li Wei's heart tightened immediately. Thinking of the Kai Star people he had just met who seemed to be thugs, he seemed to have grasped a clue, but he couldn't figure out what the result would be.

"Brother Greedy Wolf, as you know, I am the Destroyer, and I have only been in charge of Kai Star for a few months. I am indeed not clear about the reasons. If possible, please tell me, so that I can understand why Kai Star is undesirable?"

Greedy Wolf shook his head and gave a bitter laugh, "Brother Li, to be honest, I don't know the specific details either. I only know that in the past three years, Kai Star has appeared at the Purple Mausoleum Tower auction house at least three times. In addition, seven Destroyer have been replaced. You are the eighth Destroyer to take over Kai Star. Do you know what happened to your seven predecessors?"

As he spoke, Greedy Wolf made a throat-slitting gesture, the meaning of which was self-evident.

"They're all dead?"

Li Wei thought about it and realized that didn't make sense either. The previous Destroyer of Kai Star died at his own hands, so how could that be explained?

After hearing Li Wei's account of how he obtained Kai Star, Greedy Wolf slapped his forehead and said, "The Destroyer you killed was probably just someone the Kai Star people picked up randomly. You know, all you need is a piece of Black Paper to become Destroyer. About half a year ago, Kai Star held an auction here, you know? It only cost 10 million Destroyer Coin, that's such a low price! A whole star field for only 10 million Destroyer Coin, that's less than a tenth of the normal price, but even so, no one dared to buy it... In the end, the auction failed. Everyone knew it was a hot potato. Sigh... Being Destroyer is glamorous, but not just anyone can become one. You might lose your life the very next day."

So that's how the Kai Star Domain came to be. Thinking back to when Red Armor begged me to bring Kai Star under my control, it turns out that no one was willing to be the Destroyer Kai Star, which is why he pleaded with me like that.

Red Armor should be unaware of these matters, but Emperor Kai Star could not possibly be unaware of them. So why would he conceal them?

Furthermore, the invitation to the Star of Destruction was also sent by the Emperor of Kai Star; there must be some reason behind this.

Thinking of this, Li Wei was furious. He had been good enough to Kai Star, but he never expected that the Old Wang Emperor Kai Star would dare to play dirty tricks on him. Eight Destroyer had died in three years (one of whom he had killed), and he hadn't been told such important information. The Emperor Kai Star was truly despicable.

But even so, are all the deaths of those Destroyer related to Kai Star? What's the logic behind this? Is there some kind of curse, that any Destroyer accepts Kai Star will meet a terrible end?

That's ridiculous!

Seeing Li Wei's expression change several times, Greedy Wolf knew that the other party was analyzing the situation, but he whispered, "I only heard about this secondhand. In short, that Kai Star is extremely unlucky. It's not worth losing your life for such a star system. Moreover, the Star of Destruction often captures Kai Star's people and uses them as slaves and trains them to be thugs. They are a very lowly star race."

Upon hearing this, Li Wei suddenly had a flash of inspiration and thought to himself: Could the deaths of the previous Destroyer of Kai Star be related to this?

He couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he tried, so he could only wait until he returned to Kai Star to ask the Kai Star Emperor. After making up his mind, Li Wei changed the subject. When they got to the third floor of the 'Purple Mausoleum Tower', Greedy Wolf finally opened up and chatted with Li Wei along with the Bright Wolf and Ming Dong brothers.

Only then did Li Wei realize that this third floor was the largest auction house on the Star of Destruction, hosting a grand auction every day. Greedy Wolf checked the time and said, "Brother, you're in luck. The auction starts in less than an hour. Let's go check it out!"

The Bright Wolf brothers, Ming Dong, cheered loudly. Li Wei was puzzled; why were these three wolves so excited? Was this auction specifically for stunning beauties?

However, when Li Wei followed Greedy Wolf and the other two through the corridor into the auction hall, he saw the auction list brought by the sweet fox girl, which prominently featured the words "auctioning female slaves".

Wow, there really are beautiful women for sale!

Of course, besides the 'female slaves', there were also many rare treasures, the most expensive of which was actually a level 2 star field.

Are people even auctioning off star systems?

Li Wei felt a chill run down his spine. Looking at the price tag, it was a staggering 50 million Destroyer Coin. At first, Li Wei thought he was already wealthy with over 1.4 million Destroyer Coin, but seeing the price of this auction item, he felt a wave of shame wash over him.

Considering that Greedy Wolf mentioned earlier that Kai Star had been auctioned here several times, with prices as high as 10 million Destroyer Coin but no one daring to buy, the auction of Starfield Wind here must have a long history.

After a short wait, people gradually entered the auction hall. Within just over ten minutes, all the thousand-plus seats in the hall were filled, and the entire venue looked incredibly lively. Above the hall, there were more than a dozen private rooms, presumably the dozen or so rooms guarded by Kai Star bodyguards that had been seen in the corridor earlier. Those who could enter the private rooms were all important figures. Of course, Li Wei, as the Destroyer, could also enter, but he would need to pay a private room fee of 100,000 Destroyer Coin.
