In the remote polar ice fields, an auction was underway in the largest auction house of North Emperor City.

In the VIP booths on the second floor of the circular auction hall.

One of the booths was veiled by light, hanging gauze, separating it from the others. Only the faint, graceful silhouettes of several women could be seen inside.

Liu Hanyan, her face hidden by a veil, sat expressionlessly in the VIP booth, her thoughts a mystery.
