Chapter 1701
After David watched Mick leave, he stood there for about ten minutes. He noticed no one was entering the auction venue.
‘Maybe it’s too early!’
After all, there were three more hours before the auction.
He did not want to go in initially, but if he entered now, he would be all alone.
It was not that David was scared of being lonely, but when the people participating in the auction arrived later, they would immediately see him and remember him.
This was not in line with David’s low-key personality.
Thus, he followed Mick’s instructions and left the auction venue to wander on the streets outside.
As one of the top five trading companies in the Central Sacred Continent, Treasure Trove’s headquarters would naturally be the most flourishing and central location at the super-large trade zone. There were always people walking around on the streets.
David wandered on the bustling streets, but his mind was on the auction that would start in three hour’s time.
This auction was very important to him.
His strength would depend on this auction. He did not know how long he would need to wait if he missed it.
He randomly found a tavern that looked slightly more high-end and walked in. Welcome!”
Two tall and sweet-looking attendants bowed and welcomed him.
After he entered the tavern, David saw a lot of people drinking, chatting, and boasting loudly on one floor.
Soon, a beautiful waitress walked over. Sir, how many of you?”
Just me. Get me a quiet place. I don’t like the noise,” David answered.
Do you have a VIP card?”
No I’m sorry, Sir. If you don’t have a VIP card, you can only dine at the dining hall on the first floor You will need a different tier of VIP card for every floor,” the beautiful waitress explained
David thought, ‘All service industries will use the same tactic indeed.
They always have different treatment for different consumers.
1 sdp that on Earth, and it’s also the same here
Get me one then, David thought about it and cald
Abright, come with me, sir
The beautiful waitress brought David to the front deal
“Get me the highest one I want to all on the top floor, David cald the highest tier will cost you
A few minutes later, David spent ten million Star Dollars to get a VIP card of the highest fick
After that, he left the front desk and headed to the top floor while the beautiful waltresacs stared at him with stars in their eyes
This place was pretty spacious and there were not a lot of people therefore, there were only a few tables that were occupied
David picked a seat near the window and watched the bustling street below
“Sir, what would you like to order?” The beautiful waitress who brought David up here asked courteously
It had been a while since she met a customer who would throw away money so recklessly
When she first saw David, she knew this young tan was not simple
Not only was he handsome, but he also had an amazing temperament
Based on her years of reading people, she was sure that David was a direct descendant of a major force.
Indeed, he did not even bat an eyelid when he spent ten million signing up for a member card
A promising young man like him was the target of women like them who were yearning for love
Who would not want to go from rags to riches/
“What’s your signature dish and wine? Get me one of each,” David answered casually
con though he was not in the most to cat, aims he was here, he could not occupy a seat for To the one of this tavern needed money to Hun this place Furthermore, they were located en sin halutting street, an their coat should not be how

---------------------------------------
Morcone, how.could be sign up for a VIP cand loud not spend any money?
Excu though Bay
Wed money, he how it was shameful to waste resources
The beautiful waitress lifted her left hand after she said that A screen appeared and she tapped on it canally with her left hand
After she did that, she looked at David and continued, “sh, I’ve ordered them for you Do you want to check the pic
No need just being them here,” David replied
bal,” the beautiful waitress left after she said that
Alright, please wall, in Enjoy your meal,
David watched the bustling stroot the had a question in his heart this entire time
Earth was only a level o civilisation, but there were skyscrapers up to a 100 stories high everywhere
Chapter 1702
The Milky Way, a level civilization, and star Kingdom, a level civilization, were much more civilised than Barth but David did not see skyscrapers made out of reinforced concrete All of the buildings were made from metal or strong wood Plus, they would not be too tall
For example, David was sitting on the oth floor This was already one of the highest buildings
The other buildings would only have 4, 4, or 5 floors The highest would probably be more than to floors
David felt as if he had gone back in time on Earth, However, he was brought back by the advanced technology the waitress used when she ordered his food for him
He never understood what was going on
Topically speaking, the higher the civilization, the more advanced the technology
In some cases, the Milky Way and Star Kingdom were indeed much more advanced than Farth
However, why was it not the case when it came to buildings?
In fact, David did not know that it would take more than ten years to build a building on barth using reinforced concrete. Then after decades, It would slowly decay
On the other hand, the building under his feet now would last for centuries, or even millennia
This was the difference
How could reinforced concrete compare to the special metal and wood used to build the buildings?
There was a ten times difference in regard to their lifespan
It was not that star Kingdom did not have the skill to build call buildings In reality, they just did not need it
Star Kingdom was enormous, so there was a lot of space for people to live
Everyone liked to have their own place and own land, so why would they waste so much effort to build tall buildings?
Aside from some major forces who would spend a lot of money and materials to build high buildings to show off their status, no one else would do it
Not only that, the people realized during their development that the human body was the biggest treasure in the universe. They were almost endless
Regardless of how advanced technology was, it was still something external. It would never be able to help humans achieve eternal life.
Therefore, humans started researching other things.
They slowly shifted their focus from outside the human body to inside the human body
In the end, this was what happened.
Cultivation was the treasure to open up the human body
As long as they reached Eternal Realm and were not affected by any external factors, the human lifespan would reach an epoch, which was 129600 years
If they then reached Saint Realm, their lifespan would become unlimited
This was something advanced technology could not achieve.
Hence, David did not see the technology he imagined when he was in the Milky Way, a level 3 civilization, and Star Kingdom, a level 7 civilization.
Instead, they looked as if they had gone back in time.
This was the result of humans shifting their research focus as they developed further
However, this was the core secret of the human face
If David wanted to know more, he would only have the chance when he became a Saint and joined the Saints Association.
Chapter 1703
While David was staring into space, his wine and food were served.
When he came back to his senses, he started to eat his food slowly and drank his wine as he continued people-watching.
He placed the Exquisite Wine of Hundred Flowers and Fruits on one side.
He wanted to take a sip.
However, he was worried that he would not store it correctly and affect its result. In the end, he gave up.
After all, it would not do anything to him and would only satisfy his cravings.
Celia and the others would reap its benefits when they drank it..
As time went on, the floor David was on started to get more crowded.
There were a lot of rich people in the super-large trade zone.
Since this place was not too far from Treasure Trove’s headquarters, and the auction was about to start, it was only natural for the rich people to gather here.
A lot of the people with invitation cards had probably arrived here a few days ago.
As he was eating, David peered at the stairs.
He saw five young people, three men and two women, walking in.
One of the men and one of the women were wearing the same clothes, so they should be from the same sect.
David saw similar clothes in the Iridescent Sect.
Meanwhile, the rest of them were dressed luxuriously.
It was clear they were from aristocratic families.
Anyone who could get on the 9th floor did not lack money, so they would not dress poorly. However, those three were dressed extra extravagantly.

---------------------------------------
Aside from that, there were also two old men behind the five.
David’s eyes landed on the two old men because they were both beginner Sovereign Rankers.
Judging from their clothes, they should be from the same sect as the two young people. They were most probably here for the auction.
After glancing at them, David stopped paying attention to them. He continued to eat his food and drink his wine.
After the arrival of the two beginner Sovereign Rankers, there were now 10 Sovereign Rankers on the entire 9th floor, including David.
There were also two mid-Sovereign Rankers among them.
It seemed that Treasure Trove’s auction attracted a lot of powerhouses this time.
The young people looked around and then sat down at the empty table next to David.
After the beautiful waitress took their order, she hurriedly went downstairs.
She felt very stressed talking to those people.
She would be doomed if she accidentally insulted them.
David only took a few bites of the food on his table before looking out the window and staring into space.
He also heard the conversation of the five next to him.
From their conversation, David learned that the three luxuriously dressed people came from the same family. Their last name was Newhouse.
Big brother Louie Newhouse, younger brother Dewey Newhouse, and little sister Neva Newhouse.
The other man was their cousin, Eamon Lehman.
However, he had joined some sect now.
As for the remaining woman, she should be from the sect. David did not know her name, but he knew her last name was Dolce.
David could tell the two old men were mainly protecting the woman.
Chapter 1704
If this woman could have two beginner Sovereign Rankers protecting her, this woman should have a pretty high status.
“Eamon, you finally came out, so you have to stay for a few more days! Let us have the honor to act as hosts for you and Miss Dolce,” Louie said.
“Yeah, Eamon! Since you’re here, it will make us seem insensible if we don’t make the best. arrangements for you,” Dewey added.
“Thank you, Louie and Dewey. However, we came out with Angelica this time with a task, so I can’t waste too much time,” Eamon answered.
“You’re just going to participate in Treasure Trove’s auction, right? We’ll gather after that.”
“We have to get back to the sect immediately after the auction. I understand your kindness, but let’s do it next time. I’ll definitely find a chance to meet you two in the future.”
“When is next time? Eamon, we haven’t seen each other in so long, ever since you joined the sect. Who doesn’t know the Three Musketeers’ famous fighting prowess when we’re together? Our fame diminished greatly after you left.”
“Louie is right. Eamon, why did you join the sect for no reason? See, others have stolen our spotlight!”
“Alright, stop talking. Do you think Eamon can ignore his proper job? He has dreams and aspirations. How is he like you two? You’re always having fun and you still have the cheek to that you’re famous for your fighting prowess. You spent so much money on escorts, I think you’re only famous for being perverts!” Neva said suddenly.
“Nev! We don’t like what you just said. How are we ignoring our jobs?”
“Yeah, Nev! We’re your brothers so how can you talk about us like that?”
“I’m telling the truth!”
“We…”
“Alright, Louie, Dewey, Nev, please calm down. I just dropped by to see you all. I am in a rush this time and I can’t go against my master. I’ll come back to have a good chat with you all next time I come back,” Eamon said after wiping the sweat from his forehead.
He could not let them continue talking or else they might expose something.
He did not want Angelica to know about his past affairs.
He thought those two would change after so many years, but they were still the same.
If he knew about this, he would not have contacted them.
At this moment, the wine and food were served.
The group then changed the topic and chatted while they ate.
Miss Dolce and the two beginner Sovereign Rankers did not speak much the entire time.
Neva would interrupt occasionally to roast her brothers.
Her brothers seemed to be used to it, so they did not care.
Every table was speaking softly on the 9th floor except theirs.
David was fine with it. Even though their tables were close to each other’s, it did not affect him too much.
However, someone did not feel the same way.
“Hey, you! Can you lower your f*cking voice? This is a public place, not somewhere for you to toot your own horn! If you want to do that, go home! No one else can speak whenever you open your mouth. We can only hear your voice,” a young man from another table stood up and said.
“Damn, who are you? Is my loud voice any of your f*cking business? Do you know who owns this place? F*ck off if you’re not used to it and stop f*cking whining!” Louie stood up and started cursing.
The environment he grew up in gave him the habit of being arrogant and despotic.
He would curse back at anyone who dared to curse at him.
David frowned.
‘Is this kid an idiot?
‘Can’t he read the room?
‘There are so many Sovereign Rankers here on the 9th floor and he’s not even an Eternal.
‘How did he get the courage to yell at others?’
Coincidentally, there was a mid-Sovereign Ranker at the table that Louie was cursing at.
Perhaps this kid was used to being despotic, and now he was going to get into trouble.
Meanwhile, David’s table was right between the two sides.
Chapter 1705
The two men’s arguments attracted the attention of everyone on the 9th floor.
Everyone was watching with ridicule on their faces.
Most of them were invited by Treasure Trove to participate in the auction, so they were pretty prestigious people.
They got bored from waiting, so it was pretty interesting to be able to watch something like this.
Even though Louie was an idiot and could not read the room, his cousin Eamon still knew how to weigh the pros and cons.
After all, he was someone from a sect that had gone through training.
Therefore, he quickly stood up and said, “My friend, I’m so sorry. My cousin has always stayed at home, so he’s been spoiled by his family. He’s never seen the outside world so please forgive him if he offended you. I am apologizing on his behalf. Amiability makes you rich. The same goes for the others here. I, Eamon Lehman, will pay for everyone here today so I hope everyone will tolerate us.”
When Louie heard that, he was unhappy.
The Newhouse family was powerful in this super-large trade zone, and they had a close relationship with Treasure Trove.
With Treasure Trove as support, the Newhouse family was like a fish back in the water.
Therefore, Louie made this place his territory.
How dare those outsiders yell at him in his territory?
How would Louie suffer such a grievance?
He yelled unhappily, “Eamon, why are you apologizing to him? He interrupted our conversation so he should be the one apologizing to us! They’re just barking dogs. How dare they act so arrogantly in my territory? How reckless!”
“Louie Newhouse, shut up!” Eamon’s expression changed and he scolded.
“Eamon, you…”
Louie just wanted to retort but when he saw how Eamon was looking at him, he swallowed the words back into his stomach.
He was weak, and he was used to being arrogant.
Therefore, he did not realize what was wrong today.
However, he believed that his cousin would not harm him, hence he stopped speaking.
Eamon’s junior, Miss Dolce, looked at Louie and frowned with her adorable brows.
Clearly, she was not happy with what Louie did.
She thought, ‘How did this idiot survive until this day?
‘Eamon even asked me to hang out with a cousin like this. How unfathomable.’
“You’re Louie Newhouse, right? Listen here, you’re in big trouble. There are people in the Central Sacred Continent who dares to yell at me and tell me f*ck off, but you’re not one of them,” the young man whom Louie yelled at said in a deep voice.
“Who do you think you are? Why can’t I yell at you when you have the nerve to yell at me? So what if I yell at you today? What can you do to me?” Louie snapped.
He could not stand others acting so pretentiously around him.
Usually, he was the one doing that, so no one else could do the same with him around.
“If I tell you who I am, you might sh*t your pants.”
“Tch, anyone can toot their own horn. Tell me if you have the balls. If I frown, then I am not at Newhouse!” Louie stated indifferently.
The Newhouse family had Treasure Trove’s support, so how could he be scared by a name?
Moreover, judging from those people, they did not seem like someone from the most powerful force in Star Kingdom.
“Really? Listen closely then, my name is…” When the young man was about to say his name, someone came upstairs and interrupted him.
David sensed something and looked over.
He saw a man in his thirties walking over.
Behind him was an old man.
David’s pupils contracted when he saw the old man.
‘A late Sovereign Ranker!”
This old man was a late Sovereign Ranker, and he was on the same level as Celeste.
One had to know that Celeste was the elder of the iridescent Sect, so she had a pretty high status.
If the old man was on the same level as Celeste, he should also have an extraordinary identity. Of course, the man in front of the old man was even more extraordinary.
