“It’s them…”

Xiu shouted and could not help but want to stand up. However, Chu Nan immediately stretched out his hand to stop her and covered her mouth.

“Don’t be agitated.” Chu Nan patted Xiu’s back. When he saw that her expression had calmed down slightly, he slowly let go, “Look carefully first. Are they all your clansmen?”

Xiu nodded repeatedly. “It’s… it’s them! It’s them! They’re still… still alive! That’s great! That’s great!”

After shouting excitedly, she turned to look at Dong Fang pleadingly, “Mr… Mr. Dong, I beg you, please… save them?”

Dong Fang was not as excited as Xiu. He looked at the situation on the stage and frowned slightly.

“It’s as I thought.” He sighed softly and said to Xiu, “These guys are indeed as I thought. They separated your clansmen for auction. Xiu, you have to be mentally prepared that I won’t be able to buy all your clansmen.”

“Ah? Why?” Xiu was immediately stunned.

“Look for yourself.”

Xiu and Chu Nan looked at the stage at the same time and discovered that the ones being auctioned were the three women from the Rand Clan who had appeared earlier. They did not auction them all in one go as they had imagined.

“This is a very normal situation. From the perspective of the goods, the value of your clansmen is different. These three girls from the Rand Clan should be the youngest and most beautiful among them, so they will be taken out to be auctioned as a teaser first. As for your other clansmen, they will probably be released in batches later,” Dong Fang said.

“Then… then what should we do?” Xiu immediately panicked. She thought for a moment and begged, “Can… can you… buy them all?”

“It depends on the situation. If the competition is too intense, I’m afraid you have to make a choice. Be mentally prepared,” Dong Fang said calmly.

“But… but you… you clearly said that you could… could save… them!”

Because she was too anxious, Xiu spoke even more intermittently.

“I’ve said it before. How much I can pay depends on how much value you and your clansmen can provide. Your value is limited. With my current evaluation of you, the highest I can pay is 5 million Trans. If the price you need to buy them in a while exceeds this limit, please forgive me for being helpless.”

Dong Fang’s expression was serious. Anyone could tell that he was not joking at all.

“Therefore, Xiu, you need to think carefully about what you should choose if a situation arises in a while. The fate of most of your people is already in your hands.”

Xiu looked at Dong Fang in a daze and was speechless.

Although she was innocent, she was not stupid.

She knew very well that the best way to save her clansmen now was to buy them at the auction. This could minimize the damage and danger they suffered.

However, she knew very well that Dong Fang was right.

She could hand over the two martial techniques she knew and even hand over everything she had in exchange for Dong Fang and Chu Nan’s help.

However, as Dong Fang had said, the value she had contributed was limited. It was impossible for Dong Fang to risk everything to help her.

Moreover, five million Trans could be said to be a lot. It was enough to prove that Dong Fang was indeed sincere in helping her and her clansmen. She had no right to criticize him.

As for Chu Nan…

Xiu turned to look at Chu Nan with a pleading expression.

Looking at her pitiful appearance like an abandoned kitten, Chu Nan could not help but frown. He glanced at Dong Fang but could not say anything.

Dong Fang had already made it very clear to Xiu. It was impossible for Chu Nan to exert any pressure on him at this moment.

If he spoke, Dong Fang would definitely give him face and be willing to pay a higher price.

However, this price was still limited. If the price the clansmen who bought Xiu had to pay was too high, he would be embarrassed to let Dong Fang do that for a girl he originally did not know.

When he thought of this, Chu Nan sighed softly and patted Xiu’s shoulder before pointing at the stage.

“Let’s see the situation first. Perhaps we don’t have to spend so much money to buy your clansmen.”

Xiu gritted her teeth and could not think of any solution. She could only look at the stage with Chu Nan in anticipation.

However, the cruel reality quickly educated the naive Chu Nan and Xiu.

Just the first three youngest and most beautiful girls of the Rand Clan had already started at 300,000 Trans.

A few minutes later, the bidding price had already exceeded the shocking one million Trans.

At this price, there were already very few people who continued to bid. After the latest bid, no one continued to bid for a long time.

Dong Fang glanced at the auctioneer who was stirring up the atmosphere on the stage and turned to ask Xiu, “How is it? Have you decided? Do you want to buy the three of them? I have to remind you that if you want to buy them in the end, the price might exceed 1.5 million Trans.”

Xiu gritted her teeth and stared at the three blank-faced girls on the stage as if they had long lost all their vitality. She discovered that she had never faced such a difficult decision.

If she bought the three of them, she would spend 1.5 million Trans.

The quota Dong Fang had given just now was only five million Trans. If she used up half of it, what if she did not have enough money to buy the other clansmen?

However, these were all her clansmen. She was unwilling to give up on any of them.

For a moment, she fell into a deep dilemma and could not answer for a long time.

The auctioneer on the stage had already begun to count down, leaving less and less time for her to continue thinking.

Just as the auctioneer was about to slam the gavel and announce the completion of the auction, Chu Nan, who had been silent at the side, suddenly stretched out his hand at lightning speed and pressed the console in front of Dong Fang to announce a bid.

“1.1 million!” The auctioneer who was about to hammer on the stage immediately became excited. He looked at Chu Nan and the other two and shouted, “Guest 176 has a new bid. 1.1 million!”

Dong Fang and Xiu looked at Chu Nan in shock.

Chu Nan ignored Dong Fang and looked at Xiu before saying seriously, “Xiu, since you can’t make up your mind, let me make the decision next.”

Xiu blankly looked at Chu Nan’s firm gaze and could not help but nod.

At this moment, she had completely lost her mind. If someone was willing to help her make a decision, she could only accept it.

After receiving Xiu’s affirmation, Chu Nan looked at Dong Fang, “You can only take out five million Trans in total, right?”

Dong Fang looked at Chu Nan and the corners of his mouth curled into a meaningful smile. He nodded and said, “That’s right. This is the first time our company and these chambers of commerce in the federation have expanded their business to the Sapphire Star Field. Therefore, the funds I can use now are at most five million Trans.”

“I understand.” Chu Nan nodded and stood up. He pulled Dong Fang up and changed seats with him. Then, he looked at the console in front of him and rubbed his hands. “Alright, the two of you only have to watch from now on. Let me do it.”

Dong Fang smiled and did not say anything. Instead, he leaned back in his chair and assumed a posture of quietly watching a show.

Xiu looked at Chu Nan nervously as if she was the one receiving the verdict.

Chu Nan’s expression was very calm and there were no abnormal fluctuations. He only looked at the auctioneer on the stage and quietly waited for the others’ reaction to his increase in price.
