Chapter 39, Part One.

However, some things may seem beautiful, but the reality is completely different. When it comes to the Fire Spirit Gene, it is not as dead as the gene fusion preparation.

When the host gave the starting price of 800 million, fierce competition began on the scene.

Lu Xia specifically looked up the description of the Fire Spirit Gene.

This is an energy body extracted from a mineral. It can be used in weapons or made into genetic medicine, but the latter is much more difficult than the former.

But no matter what, it's a good thing.

Although it needs to be "reprocessed" before it can be used, there are still many people who want it.

Before we knew it, the price had reached 2500 million, and there was only one bidder left.

Lu Xia didn't hesitate any longer, pressed the bell, and directly offered the price of 3000 million.

As expected, as soon as her price was announced, the scene was silent for a moment, and then the host began to bring down the hammer. In the end, Lu Xia got the Fire Spirit Gene for 3000 million.

Having already gotten everything they wanted, Lu Xia didn't want to stay here any longer. He said to Grace, "Let's go handle the formalities and then go back."

Grace nodded, stood up and took Lu Xia out of the box.

The waiter who had just received them was waiting outside the door. When he saw them come out, he immediately greeted them: "If you two need anything, I can..."

"Take us to check in." Grace interrupted the waiter.

"Okay, please follow me."

We followed the waiter to the area at the back where formalities were handled, where professional managers were waiting. Upon seeing them, they were directly invited into the office next door and handled various formalities for them individually. It was obvious that the service here was quite good.

The procedures were handled very quickly and the two did not have to wait long. Soon Lu Xia got the password box containing the gene fusion agent and the fire spirit gene.

After the handover was completed, the manager said respectfully, "I hope you two will patronize our Toya Auction House more often in the future!"

Lu Xia nodded at the other party and was about to turn around and leave when there was a sudden loud bang, followed by the ground shaking. Grace subconsciously held Lu Xia in her arms.

The manager reacted quickly and said, "Please wait here for a moment. I'll go see what happened. Our security is still very guaranteed..."

Before he could finish his words, loud rumbling noises rang out again.

Grace carefully held Lu Xia in her arms. The dust and stones falling from above all landed on him, and the manager shrank into the corner in fear.

This is obviously not normal.

After the situation stabilized a little, Grace immediately said, "Let's get out of here right now!"

Even though Lu Xia didn't know what had happened, he knew that he had to listen to Grace at this time.

When they came out of the room, the originally orderly hall was in chaos, and the entrance door they had just entered had been closed at some point.

At this moment, one could still hear crying and banging on the door coming from inside. It was obvious that the entire auction house was in chaos because of this sudden situation.

Grace put her arm around Lu Xia's shoulders and carefully protected her as she walked towards the safe passage.

Lu Xia noticed that Grace seemed familiar with this place. "Everyone, listen up! Stand against the wall. We don't want to cause trouble. We just want to find our people." The sudden voice and the glaring lights stopped Lu Xia and Grace in their tracks.

Hearing the word "clan members", Lu Xia subconsciously thought of the Rafaeld family. Are these people here to rescue someone?
Just as she was thinking about this, footsteps approached. When the older, white-haired man in the lead appeared beside them, Lu Xia could clearly feel that his eyes were on the two of them.

"Could you please take off your masks so I can verify your identities?"

This sentence seems polite, but in fact it does not give them any chance to refuse. It is more like a notification.

"Sir, instead of wasting your time on us, you'd better rescue the person you want as soon as possible. If you delay, the person may be transferred away." Grace stepped forward and blocked Lu Xia behind him. Naturally, he could not escape the other party's action.

"You seem to know this place very well. Can I..." Before the other party finished speaking, Lu Xia grabbed Grace's arm and said, "We are only here to attend the auction. We have nothing to do with the people here, and we have no interest in the person you are looking for."

Lu Xia took off his mask and glanced at the other person coldly: "Or are insignificant people also the targets of your retaliation?"

The other party obviously didn't expect that a noble female would appear here, and he knew this female: "Duke Lu Xia?"

Lu Xia was a little surprised when his name was suddenly called: "Do you know me?"

"I imagine there are few in the Empire who haven't heard of you. I didn't expect to see you here. So, I suppose you've already met Smelian?"

Lu Xia frowned slightly and searched through his memories, but he couldn't find any memories related to this name.

If the old housekeeper were here, he would definitely remind her that this is one of her five servants!
Unfortunately, the old butler was not there, so Lu Xia had no idea who this was.

As if seeing her confusion, the other party's tone became colder: "It seems that you are really a forgetful person. We have other things to do, so we won't delay you."

Lu Xia naturally sensed the other party's sudden chill in attitude, but now was not the time to delve into it. Lu Xia took Grace's arm and nodded to her, saying, "Then I wish you all the best."

After saying that, he left here with Grace.

After they left, the person following the white-haired man said, "Isn't Duke Lu Xia the mistress of Young Master Smellian? How could she..." not know him? Before he could finish the three words, he was stopped by a cold look from the other party.

Meanwhile, Lu Xia and Grace had already successfully left the black market. As they returned to the hovercraft, Lu Xia's tense nerves finally relaxed. "I didn't expect the Raffield family would come to rescue us."

It seems that although this family is weak, it is very united.

Who is Smellian?

The other person spoke in a tone as if she should know him.

But she really had no impression at all, so she looked at Grace: "Do you know who Smellian he just mentioned?"

Grace pursed her lips at that. Her dark eyes fixed on Lu Xia's face, as if trying to determine if he truly didn't know who the other person was.

Seeing Grace's silence, Lu Xia raised an eyebrow: "Is it someone very important?"

Why do they all react like this?
"If I remember correctly, he should also be one of your servants, Xia Xia." Grace said this in a calm tone, but if you listen carefully, you can hear the faint dissatisfaction in her voice.

"..."

real or fake?

 Grace: I remember every single one of them clearly, through gritted teeth!
