The doors of the Auction Room closed, and the Auctioneer walked up from backstage, while a clerk sat next to the table.
As soon as the Auctioneer spoke, Sean Knight became happy, for he was using English.
Actually, he had been somewhat worried because they hadn't brought Mary Powell with them when they came over.
However, later he noticed that many of the international bidders seemed to have no translators with them, so Sean Knight breathed a sigh of relief.
Now it looked like the auction organizers were being quite considerate of them.
"Thank you, everyone, for coming to this auction," said the Auctioneer, a local man in his early thirties with a rather cold voice and a slight accent, but understandable, "The auction begins now. Land No.1, located to the east of Ankar Town, totals seventeen hectares, with a reserve price of 150,000 dollars. The auction begins."
Nobody immediately called out a bid; all were looking over the detailed documents for Land No.1.
