    The treasures that flowed through this ce were endless, enough to make even seasoned collectors drool. Some of the rare herbs Andrew needed were difficult to find elsewhere, often requiring endless trouble and time. But here, as long as you had the money, you could buy them in bulk without breaking a sweat. Entering the Chetvine Grand Auction House required verification of funds. Unless you held one of their VIP cards, everyone had to go through financial verification. Andrew did not have a VIP card here because he had never had much dealings with the Reyes family.


    Among Chetvine''s major powerhouses, the Reyes family was the most secretive and ---- sinister, making them difficult for ordinary people to approach Behind the Reyes family was the evil Umbral Peak Sect. This. made most factions and individuals wary of getting too involved with the Reyes family. Nheless, that did not diminish the Reyes family''s power. They were capable of handling the kind of dirty work no one else dared to touch. At the Grand Auction House entrance, Daphne Braine, the hostess, inquired politely, "Hello, sir.


    Are you here to observe or to participate in the bidding?" Andrew replied tly, "Depends on my mood. However, I have some pills I''d like to auction here. Can you arrange that?" Daphne smiled. "Ordinary pills won''t work, I''m afraid. We have entry-level requirements. At a minimum, they must be sixth- grade or higher." Andrew produced two exquisite small boxes and ced them on the counter. "These are what I want to auction. Take a look." Daphne had not expected Andrew to actually have items to auction.


    Normally, anyone wanting to auction something here would have already contacted customer service for in-home pickup. Yet, Andrew had just shown up on the spot to do this. It ---- suggested that he was very unfamiliar with the Grand Auction House, possibly even a first-time attendee. Secondly, whatever he had brought was probably nothing special. With this preconception, Daphne''s attitude toward Andrew became somewhat casual. However, when she opened the small box and saw the pills inside, her eyes immediately narrowed as she gasped, "These are..." Andrew''s expression remained nd.


    "Find someone who knows their stuff to authenticate them. I don''t have much time, and I don''t like waiting." Daphne''s demeanor unconsciously became more respectful. " Sir, this way please. I''ll take you to see our appraiser right away." Immediately, Andrew proceeded down the VIP corridor into the interior of the auction house. Joaquin Briggs, an elderly man wearing traditional attire and with a ruddyplexion, greeted him.


    Heughed and said, "Sir, let me authenticate the grade of your pills, As long as they meet our standards, we''ll arrange the auction process immediately." Andrew said nothing, waiting for him to continue. Joaquin carefully took the box, opened it, and examined it closely. He gently removed a pill and brought it to his nose to sniff. Finally, he snapped the box shut with a click, his face ---- twitching He said in disbelief, "Two eighth-grade divine pills. One of them is even the rare Breakthrough Pill.


    For senior grandmasters, martial kings, and even martial saints, these have excellent breakthrough effects." He looked at Andrew with excitement and asked without hesitation, "May I have your full name, sir? Our auction house will dly take these pills." "My name is Andrew, from the Lloyd royal family," Andrew replied without the slightest attempt to hide it. He even emphasized that he was from the royal line of the Lloyds. Joaquin''s expression changed, and Daphne blinked quickly, her eyes flickering with surprise. Andrew smirked to himself and sankfortably into the luxurious sofa.


    "Now, can you start arranging the auction process? I''m short on cash at the moment, and I''m counting on these pills to give me some breathing room." Joaquin''s expression wavered. "Mr. Lloyd, please wait a moment. This is beyond our authority to decide." Andrew said tly, "Then go fetch someone who can make the decision." Joaquin hurried off. A few minutester, he returned with a tall, ---- brooding young man at his side. He introduced, "Mr. Lloyd, this is our auction house manager, Mr. Enzo Reyes." 2<style>
