Since it's already time to start the auction, before they took out the items, Ainsley, as the one holding the auction, went to the stage and stood behind a mini podium prepared for her.
It was really short that it looked a bit funny somehow, but when Ainsley went to the stage, none of the guests dared to say anything or comment about her.
The initially bustling hall quietened. Even those on the second floor also focused their attention on the baby.
Let's see what she's going to say!
Under everyone's gazes, Ainsley stood behind the podium while fixing her cute ribbon tie on her chest.
Once she's ready, the baby tapped her fingers on the wooden podium while bringing her mouth closer to the microphone attached there.
"Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for attending my auction tonight."
Ainsley flashed a professional smile as she cast her gaze on everyone in front of her. This time, she didn't bother using her cutesy language since it wasn't that appropriate.
She needed a charismatic and dependable image right now. Thus, Ainsley secretly told her inner demons to start using a tiny bit of intimidation.
When the inner demons activated the intimidating aura, bit by bit...there's a holy light behind the baby, making her look like an angel or something.
Of course, it's not a cute angel but a holy one.
The intimidating aura wasn't bloodthirsty or cruel this time since Ainsley wanted to appear gentle yet dignified.
With a soft smile on her face, the baby nodded at the crowd.
"I, as the Sloan Family head, the one holding this auction, shall officially start the auction– " Ainsley took a deep breath before snapping her fingers.
"Now."
The stage light immediately focused on Ainsley and the podium, the place where the auction item would be displayed.
Right away, the baby tucked her hair behind her ear while waving her hands at the guests.
"Before we start, as a precaution, please don't mind me placing my ability's domain inside the hall."
Once Ainsley said that, she pointed her finger at the ceiling, and from the tip of her finger, a bright gold light slowly shot up.
The gold light started to expand, covering the hall's ceiling, the second floor...and also widening in just a few seconds.
The gold light perfectly created a gold-transparent some that trapped everyone inside it!
When the guests saw the golden dome, all of them instantly reacted.
"It's the golden dome! The domain that killed 500+ Aretha people!"
"What is this? What is she planning? Does the family head plan to attack us or something?"
"Are you an idiot, ah? She said it's as a precaution. It means, no one can make a mess inside the hall and no one can rob the potions either."
"Ah, I see. Since it's incredibly fast to kill someone using her curse when they're inside the dome, right?"
"Right. So, just chill. Look, the big shots are also calm."
Indeed, the guests were a bit startled by Ainsley's doing, but the big shots on the first and second floor didn't react harshly.
On the other hand, they nodded at Ainsley in approval.
They are making sure that the auction safety is guaranteed, huh? That's a good move. This way, the guests will trust the auction staff more than before.
The big shots didn't mind Ainsley's move, and actually admired her instead. For a three-year-old baby to make such a bold movement...she's truly exceptional.
After making sure she had covered the whole building, which wasn't that big anyway, only then did Ainsley lower her hand and look at the guests.
"That's it, ladies and gentlemen. Please, enjoy the auction."
Ainsley slowly walked away from the podium while still activating her intimidating aura. In this case, she didn't want to use her charm ability to make everyone like her.
What she wanted was respect and reference, not mere affections. And it seemed that her tricks worked. None of the guests dared to look down on her just because she's a baby.
The shining golden dome around them became their silent warnings.
Never pick a fight with that lass!
Well, in the end, even though the guests felt a bit more cautious inside the golden dome, they're also relieved that the Sloan Family could guarantee the auctions' safety.
Of course, not everyone in the building felt the same way. A few spies sent by various forces gulped nervously while looking at the golden dome surrounding them.
If we make a move now to steal the potions or rob them, we might die even before we reach the stage!
They all knew just how fast Ainsley could kill someone inside her dome. It was practically a child's play.
Thus, the spies could only stay still for now and looked for opportunities later.
At the same time, the auction host already came up to the stage. It was surprisingly Marietta, the one with a mature woman vibe around her. She's truly the best choice as a host!
"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Without further ado, let's start our auction tonight with the first item…"
Marietta, dressed in a body-tight emerald mermaid dress, held the microphone tightly in her hand while gesturing the five buds to bring the items to the stage.
"Introducing, pseudo-awakening potion!"
Jevon, the one bringing the item, immediately placed three bottles of pseudo-awakening potions on the podium they had prepared before.
Of course, one placed an exquisite small pillow above the podium so that the potions would look even more expensive.
At the same time, Ethania played a demonstration video and let the projector show the video on the screen behind Marietta.
"Three bottles of pseudo-awakening potions, " Marietta said as the stage light illuminated the three glistening bottles.
Start the bidding!
