Marvel's King of the Undead

Chapter 320 Auction

U.K,

London,

There is a small town about thirty kilometers away from the city.

On the surface, this town is no different from all other British towns,
A slightly empty street,
A smooth and quiet path,
A very British-style cottage is neatly arranged on both sides of the road.

But if you keep looking back along the arrangement of houses, you can find that at the very end of the town,
There is an old and majestic castle, and there is a small slope below the castle, which makes the castle's terrain much higher than other houses.

Looking down from the sky, the castle looks like the owner of the town, standing at the top of the town, overlooking the civilians below.

During the Middle Ages,
The castle was the residence of a nobleman,

but now,

Although the appearance has been preserved due to proper maintenance, the people living in it have long since changed crop after crop.

right now,

The owner of this castle is called John Depp,
An authentic American, but has lived in the UK all year round. On the surface, he looks like a wealthy philanthropist, but in private he is the owner of a world-renowned auction house.

His castle, his base camp, is also where he holds his annual auction.

It's raining almost all over the UK today.
Scattered on the road, a few local residents hurried past the alley with umbrellas in hand.

suddenly,

A low and powerful engine sound broke the tranquility of the town,
A black modified Rolls Royce drove into the town. Generally speaking, this modified luxury car is enough to attract attention even in the most prosperous downtown area.
But the road on the edge of the town didn't even look up.

thereafter,
A dozen identical Rolls-Royces followed closely behind,

After entering the town, the convoy drove all the way, and finally stopped right in front of the castle.

Subsequently,

The car door is opened,

Luxuriously dressed men and women got out of the car and walked into the castle under the support of the accompanying security guards.

Once inside the castle,

An old man with the appearance of a housekeeper came up to meet him. He didn't speak, but took the lead and walked ahead.

behind the old man,
The group of guests didn't seem to feel that there was anything wrong with the old man's behavior,
They bowed their heads and followed the team ahead,
After passing through the narrow and cramped retro aisle,
The space ahead suddenly opened up.

This is a hall,
Whether it's the exquisite reliefs on the stone pillars in the hall or the huge luxury crystal on the top of the hall, it shows the importance the castle owner attaches to this hall.

In the innermost part of the hall,

There is a high platform with nothing on it.

below the high platform,

There are no more and no less, exactly fifty seats.

Under the command of the old steward,
The guests who just arrived took their seats one by one.

After a brief commotion,

All the guests were seated, the dim lighting and warm environment should have made people drowsy,
But at this time, the guests present didn't feel sleepy at all, and they all stared at the empty high platform intently.

10 minutes of silence passed,

suddenly,

Several spotlights on the high platform suddenly turned on,
The sudden light dazzled the eyes of the audience.
When they opened their eyes again, a man wearing a black suit, a wide-brimmed hat, and a delicate mustache had appeared under the spotlight.

"Welcome everyone,

Although some of the people present are my old friends, I would like to introduce myself here.

My name is,

John Depp. "

As soon as John finished speaking,

There was bursts of applause from the audience,

The originally quiet guests were as excited as if they had won the lottery.

After a while,
the applause goes out,

John Depp chuckled and shook his shoulders, looking very satisfied with everyone's enthusiasm.

"Not much nonsense, I believe that everyone came here today not just to see me.

Then,

Then the auction will officially start.

Today's auction will be hosted by myself as usual, and the first auction item is invited below. "

John Depp continued,

Before standing still, he looked a bit aristocratic with a formal attire,
But as soon as you open your mouth,
John Depp's body would subconsciously sway from side to side, and the original aristocratic temperament on him was completely destroyed during the shaking.

from a distance,

At this time, John Depp is more like a bum with nothing to do on the street.

quickly,

The old butler came up from the backstage, holding a document in his hand.

"Cough cough.
let me see
This is a design drawing of a new type of weapon that Hanmer Industries has just developed.

what,
As far as I know, there are several guests below who have private armed forces under their hands, which is a good thing. "

John Depp continued to shake and said,

The antics paired with his flirtatious tone make it seem like he's hosting a gangster party.

But his disobedient actions did not affect the enthusiasm of the guests below, and one after another began to bid.

time flies,

The auction is drawing to a close.

The current atmosphere is obviously much warmer than before, and there seems to be a strong smell of gunpowder between the different seats.

"It's time for us to come up now, and I believe this thing will not disappoint everyone."

John Depp's voice suddenly became smaller,
Just like children whispering to each other, they said to the microphone: "Take it out."

quickly,

The old butler came up again,
It's just that this time the expression on the old housekeeper's face was obviously different.

It seems that the long auction not only did not make him feel tired, but even more energetic.

John Depp took over a one-meter-long wooden box from the old housekeeper,

immediately,

In front of all the guests in the audience,
John Depp gently opened the box and took out a golden scepter from it.

Under the spotlight,
The metal scepter reflects the dazzling light,

but,

What attracted everyone's attention was not the scepter itself, but the yellow gem on the top of the scepter.

"The starting price is 10 billion."

John Depp held the scepter in his hand, with a reading-like expression on his face.

"11 billion!"

"13 billion!"

"20 billion!"

Doesn't need much introduction at all,

Every guest present knew the origin of this scepter, and even most of them came to take pictures of this rare object from the universe.

"50 billion!"

"55 billion!"

The price keeps going up,
John Depp did not say some irritating words next to him,
He just silently watched the people in the audience blushing for a scepter.

Simultaneously,

John Depp quietly looked at his right hand,
In his right hand is a very small mobile phone, and the number displayed on it is the fee he can earn in this auction.

suddenly,

John Depp was slightly taken aback,
Then he squinted his eyes,

When he looked carefully at the phone screen again, his eyes widened involuntarily.
Just now,

The number on the screen suddenly changed from 14 billion to 100 billion.

John Depp raised his head subconsciously,
Just about to say something,
A huge explosion was heard from overhead.

　Spend a lot of money to invite Depp to play a cameo, isn't it very famous
