The people in the hall still hadn't come to their senses, staring blankly at the slightly disheveled stage, all in a state of stupor.
Fortunately, Apollo's energy had all been focused on the Vermilion Bird Jade Pendant, and he did not cause harm to the other people in the hall; only the audience close to the stage sustained minor injuries.
This was the first time at Sotheby's Auction House that someone had snatched an auction item during the auction itself, before anyone could react, and it was the very same Vermilion Bird Jade Pendant that had commanded a high price of three hundred million.
The crowd, recalling the terrifying pressure they had just experienced, showed expressions of lingering fear on their faces.
The auction house's top brass were all shaken and arrived at the hall with serious faces. However, with Dragon Soul's representatives negotiating with the other party, the situation was quickly suppressed and the auction proceeded as normal.
