Inside The Spiritstone Gallery's auction hall, luxurious crystal chandeliers hung in an elegant, staggered array. Their dappled light scattered about, casting the entire hall in a kaleidoscope of colors and making the venue look all the more magnificent and opulent.
A man's warm and mellow voice suddenly rang out through the microphone, causing the high-ranking officials and dignitaries who were still talking to stop at once. "Thank you to all our distinguished guests for joining us today. The Spiritstone Gallery's auction will now officially begin."
His voice preceded him.
The somewhat noisy hall immediately fell silent, and all eyes focused on the silver-purple stage in the center.
Suddenly, a bright spotlight cut through the darkness on stage, then slowly widened. The man standing in the middle of the stage, dressed all in white, was fully revealed to everyone.
"Welcome, everyone. I will be your host for this auction."
