They're all employees from different organizations!
Just plug it in; it's no problem for it at all.
Chapter 169 Finding a Needle in a Haystack (4k)
Simply stuffing a few people into the auction house could settle the matter, which was a huge boon for [Black Ghost].
Who can't squeeze a few people in?
arrangement!
The auction house was full of employees from various organizations; they weren't there to steal, but to gather intelligence.
In auction houses, there's always a chance of finding rare items. (≤6? 、Four,『)
In particular, all organizations can obtain information about the list of auction items before the buyers do.
Then the intelligence was resold to buyers.
They might also obtain the auction items they want through inside connections.
As mentioned earlier, all employees come from different organizations.
Aside from the top management of the auction house, everyone below them has room to maneuver.
This includes authenticating the auction items, obtaining information about the sellers, and if they really want a particular item, they can even deliberately refuse to let the seller sell it and then contact an external seller to purchase it directly at a higher price.
That way, no one can compete with them.
The auction house's management naturally scoffed at this, but they had no other options.
To put it bluntly, the reason this auction house has been able to establish itself in this city for so many years is because of the favors bestowed upon them by various organizations.
Large hands were gripping their necks; if they disobeyed, the entire higher-ups would be replaced the next day.
We should be grateful to have food to eat!
"Five... okay."
The auction house executives looked at the five tiny creatures before them, none of which were even as tall as their chests, and only one of them possessed decent magical power.
However, it was a close confidant of "Black Ghost" who introduced them.
It was the "black devils'" idea to plant them in; having their trusted confidants was tantamount to them personally speaking on their behalf.
In front of some enormous desks, Annie, Layton, Blazer, Xingu, and John stood solemnly, already dressed in the formal attire given to them by [Nigger].
Jiu said that since she was going to "apply for a job," she could no longer wear that rag-like outfit.
Four or three girls didn't come; compared to the boys, their figures were a bit less than ideal.
Ultimately, it's still a service industry, so there are some height requirements.
Even if it's a humanoid demon, choose one that's relatively tall among humanoid demons, so that guests don't have to squat down to carry the tray.
Too lazy to look at the five sets of personal information that were 100% fake, the senior executive in charge of managing the auction house waved his hand and said to another employee standing by.
"Go, take them to pick out clothes."
"Yes," the employee with a horse-like face and a human body replied respectfully, then turned to look at the five heroes. "Let's go, follow me."
Lin and the other five nodded, and then left the room.
"Why bring in so many at once?" a senior executive couldn't help but ask.
“This…” Black Ghost’s confidant naturally knew what was going on.
But it can't say anything, it can't say anything at all.
They certainly won't tell anyone that these big shots are in the current situation because they beat their boss so badly.
"The boss wants a few things, so give him a few more and keep a close eye on him." This was the reply from another of Black Wind Spirit's confidants.
"There's nothing good lately," the higher-up said.
It's not just people from various organizations who are paying attention to the auction house's intelligence; the auction house's top management is naturally also keeping an eye on it.
In his memory, the recent auction items were all ordinary things, and even if guests came, they would probably fall asleep in the venue.
"You don't need to worry about that," the confidant said.
The higher-ups initially considered it, but then stopped thinking about it.
If there's something truly valuable, even if the "Black Guy" has his eye on it, it's not something he can easily take.
whatever.
……
The horse-headed man leading the way was nearly three meters tall, with a strong and broad back beneath his horse's head.
Level 5 Demon: [Damask]
"You all know the rules, right?"
Halfway there, Damas suddenly spoke up.
"You may not know me, but we all have the same boss."
Although we don't know what the boss has his eye on, and we haven't received any information from above, the fact that he sent you here before releasing any information shows that he doesn't want us to know what he wants.
We're very disappointed, but we'll do our best to help you in any way we can.
The "we" here refers to all the employees who were planted by the [Black Eight Ghosts]. ◆≤san［lin@.＞
They are still unaware of what has happened in the Blacks' territory, which is on the outskirts of the city, where rumors don't spread as quickly.
The auction house is located in the heart of the city, and the information we obtain, besides what's happening inside the auction house, is also limited to this area, so we don't yet know about the commotion that day.
“Thank you, brother. We do have a mission,” Blazer said with a smile. “What did you mean by ‘rules’ earlier?”
Is there anything we need to be aware of?
While pretending not to understand, Blazer asked a question, surprised by his own ability to use the demon language.
He thought he would stutter, but when he opened his mouth, he spoke with a fluency that was almost indistinguishable from his native language.
Even though the system taught them, this is still too much!
Blazer was the largest among them, so it was agreed beforehand that Blazer would take the lead in speaking most of the time.
"There's nothing much to be careful about."
Damascus felt particularly warm and his tone softened considerably when he was addressed as "Big Brother".
"First, you need to know your job. Here, you're just serving tea and water."
“Understood, start from the bottom.” Blazer nodded with a smile.
“No,” Damascus said, turning his horse’s face to the side. “Those who serve tea and water are the easiest to gather intelligence.”
Because you can appear and pass through anywhere.
For example, it appears in the reception room.
It's perfectly normal for a waiter to serve tea and water to appear in the reception room, right?
For example, showing up at an auction and pretending to pass by to eavesdrop on the sellers' conversation.
It's perfectly normal for a waiter to serve tea and water to be present at a meeting, isn't it?
"What about the information about the buyers and sellers?" Blazer asked directly, since they were all "one of us."
"You can just go into the archives and look for it."
"Look, it's right here."
Damas kicked open the door next to the room that was labeled "Archives." 4
As soon as the door opened, a dozen or so demons were seen "peeking" at the buyer's and seller's files in a room with cabinets on three sides.
"Can't you knock on a door if you don't have hands?!"
"Believe it or not, I'll smash your horse face!"
"Scared me!"
The demons inside continued reading, cursing and swearing.
"A bunch of idiots," Damascus muttered casually.
"..."
Apart from An Yi, the other four heroes all had mixed feelings.
Is it really that simple?!
However, An Yi didn't find this surprising at all.
After all, most of these so-called "files" are forgeries.
Aside from prominent figures, no demon would casually hand over their true information to any organization.
The names inside might be fake, and even the genders might be fake. The investigation isn't about gathering this information, but about understanding the buying and selling intentions of these buyers and sellers.
For example, if a seller releases an item for auction, the person who receives the seller's information will be the one who gets the first-hand information.
This intelligence is quickly updated in the archives, allowing employees who are not on-site to obtain secondhand information.
There may be some auction items missing, but that's not important.
If there really is a seller offering something that various organizations want, then whoever gets the first information will have the advantage of winning.
They might compete outside, but there's not much to say about the battles within the auction house.
Planting members to obtain intelligence is considered fair competition; not obtaining it is simply a fair loss.
Of course, most of the time it's either "he wants it but I don't" or "I don't want it but he does."
Even if you obtain firsthand intelligence and conceal what you want, that concealed information may not be what other organizations desire.
The secondhand intelligence that might be released may contain information that other organizations want.
"Are there any demons selling large quantities of magical items recently?"
Suddenly, An Yi asked without any particular tone.
Damas shrugged: "There are plenty of black market smugglers. They sell a huge amount of stuff at once, and if they sell just one item, they can make a fortune."
