Chapter: 1448
“This is the last auction item for tonight," The clear, sweet voice of the hostess echoed throughout the hall.

"It is the Invincible Piano, provided by the Cooper family. As for its grade, well... The Invincible Piano used to be a seventh-grade treasure, but due to an unfortunate fire, its tail was burnt. It no longer retains the same properties as before. As of now, it is impossible to accurately define its grade,

At first, when the guests heard that this item used to be a seventh-grade treasure, they all oohed and aahed in excitement.

But the very next second, that excitement turned into disappointment when they found out that the Invincible Piano was damaged after a fire, and that its grade could not even be determined.

The guests squinted at the stage and realized that the damage of the item was clearly visible.

The Invincible Piano, which was placed on the display shelf, looked simple but elegant at first glance. It obviously carried a lot of history. Unfortunately, the tail of the treasure was charred,

Some of the guests couldn't help but snigger to themselves at the irony of a treasure named the “Invincible Piano being damaged.

“What the hell is this? Sure, it's a former seventh-grade treasure, but what's the use of it now? After the damage, who knows what grade it is on? And since it got burned so badly, I wouldn't be surprised if it was already a piece of rubbish to begin with. Who would be willing to bid on this?" one of the guests grumbled.

His voice was not low, and many people around him heard it.

As the person who presented this treasure and was known as a legend in the entertainment circle, Jeff blushed in a mixture of embarrassment and anger. He had to restrain himself from retorting.

Since this was a charity auction, all proceeds would be going toward a good cause. Therefore, guests were expected to maintain basic respect for all the bidding lots. Unfortunately, over the past few decades, the Cooper family had been on the decline. The power they used to hold in the ancient marital world was now all but forgotten.

Whatever money and influence Jeff had now, it was useless in the ancient martial world.

Since the Invincible Piano was being presented by a weak and powerless family, the guests did not mind belittling it so vocally.

Jeff had only decided to participate in this charity auction because he had a goal to achieve,

Therefore, he had no choice but to endure these criticisms silently and allow the family heirloom to be badmouthed by these uncultured guests.

“Seventh-grade Invincible Piano? I have actually heard of it before.

It's said that one of the former masters of the Cooper family was extraordinary in the art of weaponry. He spent a lot of time and effort to craft this seventh-grade Invincible Piano.

After its creation, the Cooper family enjoyed a prosperous life for a long time, which shows the power of the Invincible Piano. But after the fire, no one has been able to restore this treasure to its former glory. The Cooper family also gradually lost their power, and Lady Luck no longer seemed to favor them."

The man who spoke was a knowledgeable senior member of an ancient martial clan, and his words could be trusted,

As Jeff listened to this detailed story of his family's decline, he subconsciously clenched his fists. His eyes were bloodshot and gradually welled up with tears.

“Even the Cooper family can't fix their Invincible Piano. Then what's the use of buying it? I don't think I can repair it either

“Oh! Of course. Do you think it's that easy to repair a seventh-grade treasure?"

“The way things stand, it is impossible for us to donate an intact seventh-grade treasure for the charity auction. However, it makes sense if it is something defective."

Jeff couldn't stand listening to these guests insult his family any longer. Without asking permission from the hostess, he jumped onto the stage and grabbed the microphone from her hand.
