Chapter 731 - 672: It’s Easy to Ask Lanci for a Favor but Hard to Send Him Away_4

```

"Hmph, that gray-haired village girl has a decent look, but unfortunately, she has a sulky face."

The blonde young earl’s lips slightly drooped, forming a stern arc as he let out a derisive scoff.

His gaze swept across Talia and Lanci, as if appraising two cheap items, filled with disdain.

The young earl gestured to the auction house official next to him, signaling him to come over.

"Bring me your merchandise catalog, I’m interested in buying everything at a fixed price."

He spoke his piece indifferently.

Some of the items at the Petras Auction Event were offered with a fixed price option.

Generally, the fixed prices at Petras Auction House are far higher than the regular sale prices, with few customers willing to buy at a fixed price.

But the domineering tone in the young earl’s words, like his noble demeanor, was beyond doubt.

Clearly, he wanted to flaunt his wealth and the absolute gap between them in front of Lanci and Talia, as well as to strip them of any chance to participate in the auction.

It seemed that because of that one glance from Talia, he had decided not to let her, that rude creature, get anything she wanted today.

However, Talia still looked at the blonde noble’s distant VIP seat with a slight frown, without speaking.

"Tata, let it go."

Lanci’s tone was gentle, seemingly trying to dissolve Talia’s displeasure, glancing back from time to time along Talia’s line of sight.

"I’m not angry."

Talia stared at that outrageously wealthy Poson noble, knowing he was not to be trifled with.

To compete in wealth, they would probably have to call over Hyperion, and that too under the premise that Hyperion had inherited the Duke’s Mansion’s wealth.

Moreover, in such a central city-state’s auction house, there was almost no room to use force, not even Loren could freely use high-level spells. Once a battle state was entered in town, or there was a high magic power reaction, it would trigger alarms and suppressive responses.

"Country bumpkins who have never seen the world..."

The blonde young earl narrowed his left eye and his lips parted softly, easily conveying his intent.

It seemed he found it amusing to provoke Talia, who appeared to be a ticking bomb at the slightest touch.

"..."

Talia’s eyes gradually grew colder.

If this was a hundred years ago, she would not have tolerated such provocation for a second.

Lanci quickly grabbed her wrist.

Cat Boss screamed.

"Hey, Lanci, are you serious?"

Talia grabbed Lanci’s shoulders.

Although she somewhat understood that only with a lot of money could they compete against the blonde noble and start a gamble.

But that’s not how you earn money.

Selling Cat Boss was a bit too much, however you looked at it.

Lanci could only shake his head helplessly.

...

Twenty minutes later.

Cat Boss and Lanci had been away from the auction venue for a while.

Talia still sat in her original seat, silently watching the stage.

"We’ve received news to share with everyone here. An unprecedented item has been added to the lineup!"

Suddenly, the auctioneer received a message, his face lit up with a mysteriously conceited smile as he announced to all in the venue.

It was an exceptionally special and rare contract for a species.

Even in his many years as Petras Auction House’s chief auctioneer, he had never seen anything like it.

"Of course, the species determination has also been completed!"

In an instant, a wave of commotion rose from the crowd below.

They hadn’t expected any surprises at today’s auction event.

Usually, in such situations, only exceptionally rare treasures would cause the auctioneer to add items to the catalog spontaneously and hype up the atmosphere extensively.

What followed.

The curtain was drawn.

On stage, staff members escorted Lanci up.

"Species name: Lanci Clan! Starting bid: ten thousand pounds!"

Talia: "Pfft!"

She almost choked on her saliva.

Whoever won that auction would surely have a hard time getting rid of him!
