My name is Gu Jinxiao, a person who lives in the shadows.
The phone vibrated on the table, and the screen lit up with a new email.
The sender is anonymous, marked only by a black and gold "S".
I clicked on it. The content was very simple, an electronic invitation.
The "Black Gold Auction" will be held three days later at the "Unnamed Island" in the east of the city.
I know this place is a private island with a military-grade security system. Entry and exit are all via a special ferry run by the organizer. It is said that not even a fly can fly in. Those who can receive this invitation are not simple characters.
I tapped my fingers on the screen, calculating in my mind.
The grand finale of this auction is an ancient jade called "Dragon's Backbone". According to the information, this piece of jade comes from an ancient family that has been destroyed, and it contains the secret of that family's prosperity.
Others may only think this is a gimmick, but I know that it is not a secret, but a key. A key that can unlock the mystery of my origins.
I have to get it.
