The two entered one after the other, and once inside was a spacious hall with a number of display cases containing antiques of great value.
Levi seemed uninterested in all this and went straight across the hall to the inside.
Ruby did take a few more looks before following Levi inside.
With nearly an hour to go before the start of the auction, a number of people had already come by the time they arrived.
Levi's position was in the front row, and Ruby followed him there, receiving a lot of attention along the way.
"Among the things I heard about being auctioned today is the Marrow Cleansing Pill, which I heard people say is particularly effective in enabling people to live a long life after taking it."
"I also heard about the one that appeared two years ago. I heard that the buyer, who was terminally ill, was not only cured of all his illnesses after taking it, but also became more than ten years younger!"
"I've heard that it's like an immortal elixir, that you can't get sick after eating it."
......
There were quite a few people in the venue, and several people were talking to each other, not too loudly or too quietly, just enough for Ruby to hear.
Listening to what they said, the corners of Ruby's mouth twitched, very speechless at these rumours.
The Marrow Cleansing Pill only has a little bit of body strengthening function, which is not as exaggerated as they say.
"You came to the auction today also for the Marrow Cleansing Pill?" Ruby thought of something and went over to ask Levi.
The woman leaned in close, her breath teasing the side of his face, and Levi coughed before nodding, "Yes."
Ruby was silent and looked deeply at Levi, wanting to say something, but in the end she didn't say a word.
Forget it, she can't spoil it for Vincent.
Those who came to the auction entered one by one and soon filled the room, and it was time for the auction to begin.
A young woman in a red cheongsam stepped onto the auction stage with a seductive smile on her face, "Welcome to today's auction, without further ado, we will now proceed to auction the first lot of the day -"
At the sound of her voice, someone soon came up with a tray, covered with a red cloth, so it was not clear what it actually contained.
The host went forward to lift the red cloth, revealing the true face of the item inside: "This is the crown of the Queen of Y Country. The starting price is five million, with each increase of five hundred thousand, and now the auction begins -"
The corners of Ruby's mouth twitched vaguely as she looked at the red diamond-studded crown.
The people below have already started to raise their bids.
The crown is made of solid gold and is set with thousands of diamonds of varying sizes, especially the seven rubies in the centre, which are worth a great deal of money.
"Fifty million."
Ruby was lamenting the greatness of Vincent's skills when she heard the clear, breezy voice of the man beside her ring out.
She looked over with some surprise, not expecting that Levi would actually be interested in this.
In the end there was no doubt that Levi paid 50 million for the Queen's crown.
