Auction 2

Time passed quickly and there were only a few minutes left until the draw and the lucky name drawn would win all the McLean family property.

Anticipation filled the air, and the expectation was at its height since a large number of individuals decided to participate in this innovative auction and even some spies from the cities decided to try their luck. After all, who didn't want to become rich?

Indeed, a person will not become rich overnight, but these properties will help him to make a continuous income from magic stones for a long period.

Wine Shop and Inn in one of the luxurious neighborhoods in the center of Sun City. A range of shops that can be rented to some merchants.

And only proof of 100 magic stones, who will not want to participate?

Indeed, one bet may not make you win because some wealthy people bet a large number of magic stones and put as many cards with their names on the box as possible, but you won't know unless you try.

And as the crowd was growing little by little, there was a sudden uproar.

As the crowd looked towards the source of the voice, they were awestruck to see two magnificent women They walked towards the gathering place.

One of these women was young and one was more mature, but all of them exuded an undeniable air of power and beauty.

The first young beauty had a flawless physique that exuded elegance and grace. Her long, flowing hair was the color of darkness, cascading down her back in soft waves. Her eyes were a piercing blue, and her skin was as white as snow. Despite her ethereal beauty, her demeanor was ice-cold, and her expression was one of utter contempt.

The second beauty was a mature woman, possessing a graceful and voluptuous physique that immediately caught men's attention. Her hair was a rich shade of chestnut brown, tumbling in soft curls down her back. Her eyes were a deep, velvety brown, and her skin had a warm, golden glow. Her movements were fluid and graceful, and many people found themselves entranced by her every gesture.

" From its appearance, it seems that the mall is participating in this auction as well, isn't it Stella?" The person with a red headband with a sun inscription and the number 1 next to it said.

" It's not as if the elders of the city themselves did not participate in this auction, did you, Adolf?" the mature woman said.

The crowd was thrown into a state of shock and confusion when the first elder suddenly showed up. They all looked up at These women and tried to discern the identities of the two beautiful women who had appeared out of nowhere.

But before the situation got any more exciting, Ares suddenly spoke:" It's time to do the lottery."

Adolf and Stella looked at Aris without any change in their expression, as if nothing had happened.

When the situation stabilized, Aris spoke again: " The city Lord gave me permission to do the draw myself in front of everyone, so I hope everyone accepts the final result."

Then, after flipping the box a few times to mix the name cards, Aris put his hand in the hole at the top of the box and withdrew the card.

With a look of anticipation for everyone, Aris said: " And, the winner of the auction who will receive all of the McClean's family property is..."

And after he finished cleaning himself, York finally noticed the absence of Mark, so he turned to Katherine:

"Katherine, have you seen Mark ?" York asked the still-dazed girl who was leaning on her arm.

Katherine shocked by the sudden question, her hand slipped as she fell backward rather comically.

Surprised at what happened, York couldn't stop himself from bringing out a small giggle mesmerizing the opposite party.

She replied getting back up while collecting her thoughts and archiving this moment into her deepest memories as a small blush appeared on her face.

"I don't know, he never tells me where he is going whenever he leaves. It's been like that even before we met you."

Her complexion started to look downcast and a gloomy air surrounded her. A rare moment of panic could be seen in York's eyes as he tried to cheer her up by changing the subject.

"....."

Failing to find a subject to change to, York was just left there with an open mouth unsure of how to proceed. Seeing the antiques of her friend, Katherine burst out laughing, her previous gloomy air being washed away. Realizing he was being laughed at, York closed his mouth as he returned to his apathetic self. A smile then crept onto his face as Katherine was now back to normal.

However, a faint glimmer of worry passed both their eyes at the same time.
