It was a very unusual venue.
There were no ordinary seats here like those outside, only individual private rooms with a view of the outside.
Apart from those, there was the enormous auction hall and the corridors leading to the private rooms.
There were probably a hundred of these rooms.
Nine of them were clearly more spacious and distinctive than the others.
Their numbers were also special, each consisting of two repeated digits.
For example, No. 11, No. 22, and so on up to No. 99.
Clearly, Room 17, where Su Ping was, was merely one of the many smaller rooms.
But small though it was, this room still offered a view of the outside.
Su Ping and Shark Ji were clearly among the earliest arrivals.
So, after looking through all the lots that would appear at the auction, Su Ping finally had some free time to look outside.
Then he finally spotted the only familiar face he could have seen here.
A succession of figures followed behind Dong Muyun. At a rough glance, there were actually more than ten of them.
And Su Ping immediately spotted a figure he had paid attention to before.
The chairman and helmsman of Shanhe Group, the man from Shen Fu's family back during the Beast Tamer Tournament:
Shen Qiu.
An Emperor Tier peak Beast Tamer. His strength was nothing much, but Shanhe Group was a genuine behemoth in the Dragon Nation, holding an enormous market share across several central provinces, including Zhongyuan Province and Qilu Province.
And the man steering this great ship of commerce was a middle-aged businessman wearing gold-rimmed glasses, who looked refined and cultured.
Together with them, and even walking at the very front, was a thin man with somewhat dark skin.
