As the auction day approaches, various forces lurking in Jin City become increasingly active, taking frequent actions.
Those with financial power to bid, such as Clive and Charles, Xigu Xiu's team, as well as Ye Fan and Mengyao.
These three forces have prepared enough financial resources to make a bid on the auction, hoping to secure what they desire.
Although financial bidding is one channel, obtaining the auction's ancient painting without spending money is the persistent goal pursued by Xigu Xiu and Clive's group, acquiring it at the lowest cost is especially worthwhile.
Ye Fan and Mengyao understand this clearly, so they need to make preparations on two fronts. If the auction proceeds, they have nothing to worry about. Whatever financial resources they throw out are worth it, and no one can challenge them financially.
Of course, this is given that the auction's security is ensured; if a theft occurs, it would be serious.
