The young lady's reputation first spread from the underground auction house in Lucheng.
In Huaguo, there had been many underground auction houses for decades, each walking its own path, with its own clientele, not interfering with one another.
In the strict sense, they weren't competitors, so naturally there was no talk of competitiveness.
However, five years ago, a mysterious girl appeared at Lucheng's Wumei Underground Auction House.
She seemingly emerged overnight, and no one from Lucheng's four major families knew where she came from.
The girl looked incredibly distinguished, carrying herself as if money was no object.
Yet she was extraordinarily cautious in her spending.
The valuable items that others fervently pursued didn't even receive a glance from her.
Instead, it was the odd and puzzling objects that she went after, flouting the auction house rules by offering a fixed price that deterred others from either raising their bids or walking away.
