The few major king-rank forces in Skywind City owned their own trading zones in the city. The trading zones were areas in the city that were like shopping districts. A force would open businesses in its trading zones. Most of the businesses belonged to the force. The empty shop lots that they did not need would be rented out to outsiders. Apart from that, 10% of transactions and profits made in the trading zone had to be given to the force that owned the trading zone.
Since the other places in Skywind City only sold ordinary items, most people would shop in the king-rank forces' trading zones.
Naturally, the Zhou clan's auction house was located in the clan's trading zone.
There were still a few days before the auction, but the streets of the Zhou clan's trading zone were bustling with people from Skywind City and also those from the surrounding areas.

"It's so crowded."
