Chapter 956:
Soon, the auction resumed with more items up for grabs. Yelena, uninterested, busied herself with a game on her phone.
But then, something caught her attention. An item was announced—a simple wooden ornament.
Yelena felt a strange sensation wash over her as her gaze snapped toward the display.
It was hers. She knew it immediately.
The staff introduced it as an ordinary second-hand wooden ornament, with a starting bid of just five hundred dollars.
Despite the low price, no one seemed to care. The item remained ignored, its value lost on the crowd. No one bid.
The auctioneer, thinking the item would be withdrawn, began to prepare to remove it from the stage.
Without a second thought, Yelena pressed the left button, doubling the price.
Yet, despite her sudden interest, the crowd remained indifferent. No one seemed willing to bid on the seemingly insignificant ornament.
Kyson, still burned by his earlier experience, wasn’t about to be caught off guard again. This time, he chose not to act impulsively.
Since Kyson chose not to place a bid, the others followed suit. In the end, it was Yelena who secured the wooden ornament for one thousand dollars.
Before long, an attendant delivered the wooden ornament to Yelena. She eagerly took it, tenderly stroking it in her hand.
Austin glanced at her and asked softly, “You like it that much, huh p>
As Yelena ran her fingers over the engraving at the bottom, she felt a familiar sensation. She quickly flipped it over, and sure enough, it was her master’s wooden ornament!
Yelena shifted uncomfortably before saying to Austin, “This wooden ornament belongs to my master. But… she’s gone missing, and I have no way of reaching her p>
She had no idea how these people had gotten their hands on the wooden ornament. Determined to uncover the truth, she decided to question them once the auction was over.

Why would they deliberately place a seemingly worthless, secondhand wooden ornament up for bidding at such an important auction? There had to be an ulterior motive. Perhaps they’d been waiting for her.
Austin gently squeezed Yelena’s hand, his voice steady with reassurance. “I’ll help you find your master p>
Yelena knew that the search wasn’t going to be easy, but after a brief pause, she nodded and said, “Okay p>
Yelena showed no interest in the remaining auction items.
To keep their competitors guessing, however, Austin occasionally placed a bid.
As the crowd watched with anticipation, a bottle of medicine was placed on the auction block. To everyone’s surprise, its starting price was a mere twenty dollars.
The moment the price was announced, the audience lost interest.
Kyson turned to Seth and asked in a low voice, “Do you think these could be the real deal p>
Seth wasn’t certain either, since the appearance and scent of the medicine were indistinguishable from the genuine ones.
However, after the earlier incident, Seth hesitated to make a hasty judgment, wary of making another mistake.
At that moment, bidder number 01 pressed the auction button, calling out a bid of thirty million.
Everyone was stunned. Thirty million right from the start! The room erupted in excitement.
