Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 1072

There were all sorts of luxury cars parked in the huge parking lot in front of the hotel. At one glance, it seemed like a large-scale luxury car exhibition. As soon as Sharon Lindt brought the car to a halt, the six security cars that came with them also instantly stopped.

Right after that, twelve bodyguards got out of their cars first. They automatically split into two groups and stood on both sides of the pink Lamborghini.

The two bodyguards nearest to the car simultaneously opened the doors for Sharon and Xyla Quest.

The huge formation attracted the attention of countless passersby.

Immediately after that, the two of them got out of the car from their respective sides. They then walked toward each other in unison and held each other's hand affectionately before walking into the hotel.

Since this was a grand, large-scale antique auction, the largest ballroom in the hotel, Phoenix Hall, was chosen as the auction venue.

At this moment, the ballroom's seats were fully occupied.

At one glance, everyone in the ballroom was someone famous, rich, or powerful in the political and business realms. They all shone brightly.

After taking a look around, Xyla held Sharon's hand and walked over to their seats in the center of the first row. They then sat down.

From the moment they walked in through the doors to the moment they sat down, these two women had attracted the gazes of countless men. Xyla, especially, with the shimmering aura around her, it made those men wish they could stick their eyeballs to her body.

Every single one of these men's partners was jealous of such a scene.

Not long after Xyla and Sharon sat down, the auction began...

A beautiful female auctioneer, who wore an elegant traditional dress with porcelain patterns, got up on the stage and gave a wonderful introductory speech. After that, she got right down to business. "Next up, I'd like to present to you the first auction item. It's the Mirror of the Dancing Phoenix from the 7th century... The starting bid price is three million..."

As soon as she finished speaking, three handsome staff members in black uniforms carried a transparent, anti-theft glass box that contained the auction item onto the stage.

Beneath the mirror, there was a transparent platform that rotated automatically...

Due to its rotation, people could see all the details in the mirror clearly.

Soon, an enlarged view of this mirror also appeared on the large screen.

This bronze mirror was very intricately made in the shape of a sunflower, and its diameter was approximately 22cm.

Due to precipitation over the years, it was covered with a light green layer of patina.

There was a carving of a phoenix with its wings extended on the back of the bronze mirror. It looked very lifelike...

After providing a bunch of introductory details, the auctioneer cut to the chase once again. "This bronze mirror has a starting bid price of three million..."

Xyla was very interested in this bronze mirror. She participated in the auction right away.

In the end, she managed to acquire it with five million dollars.

After that, the beautiful auctioneer began introducing various antique items to everyone.

There were all sorts of antique items, from 7th-century bronze mirrors and porcelain objects to paintings and calligraphy from the 11th century.

However, the only thing that interested Xyla was the bronze mirror.

Sharon, on the other hand, was interested in many other things.

Near the end of the auction, Sharon had managed to acquire quite the haul...

"Next, I would like to introduce the last auction item to everyone..." The auctioneer added.

The crowd set their eyes on her with interested looks on their faces. They were looking forward to the next piece of treasure.

Soon, a handsome staff member wearing a suit carefully carried a framed oil painting onto the stage...

It was Van Gogh's sunflower painting with a total of three sunflowers on it.

Although it looked no different from the real Van Gogh painting, Xyla could still see that this was a well-imitated painting.

The artist deliberately imitated Van Gogh's style, which was very similar, but many small details gave it away.

For example, the brushwork and the colors used were different.

Therefore, she concluded that this was a well-imitated painting of the sunflowers.
