Beyond anger, Yang Kuo also felt a sense of inexplicable fear. The power capable of sealing this news for a few days must be extremely terrifying! !!
The stronghold in the east was quietly raided, and the 5 million gold coins actually came from the east. Old City Lord Yang Kuo immediately realized something!
“Immediately send someone to check along the route to Gray Rock City and see if that batch of goods is safe!!” Yang Kuo yelled at Yang Mancan.
Yang Mancan also realized the seriousness of the situation and dared not stay any longer. He immediately left the auction house with his servants in a hurry.
The auction house gathered all the major forces of Gangluo City, and when Old City Lord suddenly got angry and a large group left, it was clear that something big had happened to the Yang Family.
“This old guy hasn’t been this angry in a long time,” Chu Nan glanced at his Family Head Chu Ming.
Chu Ming nodded and joked, “Maybe their treasury was robbed.”
“Old City Lord, the auction has its rules. If there is no other important matter, this Level 6 Soul Armor will be yours for 5.2 million gold coins,” said the auction house president in a calm tone, not caring about the Old City Lord’s rage.
“Wait…” The Old City Lord’s face darkened.
The Yang Family had about 5 million gold coins in liquid funds, 2 million of which had been spent on purchasing the previous treasures, leaving only 3 million. This 3 million had to be used for daily expenses, and it wasn’t that the Yang Family couldn’t afford the money, but if they lost the 5 million gold coins from the Eastern business, they would definitely face an economic gap for some time. The loss wouldn’t be limited to just 5 million gold coins if the large clan experienced an economic gap with various chain reactions…
“Technically, we shouldn’t pause under such circumstances, but since Old City Lord is still Old City Lord, if you give a legitimate reason, waiting a moment wouldn’t hurt,” said the Trading Association Club President.
Yang Kuo’s face became even uglier. The trading club didn’t belong to the jurisdiction of Gangluo City’s City Lord, and Yang Kuo had no choice but to deal with the club president. If he didn’t give a reason now, he would have to spend
5.2 million gold coins to buy the Level 6 Soul Armor.
“Hmph, as Yang Kuo sits in control of Gangluo City, there haven’t been any major incidents. I didn’t expect some rats to target my Yang Family, cutting off my Yang Family’s financial flow. I’m now sending people to investigate!” Yang Kuo’s cold voice reached the auction house.
Yang Kuo’s words caused a stir in the auction house!!
Everyone understood Yang Kuo’s words. Cutting off the Yang Family’s financial flow would be a polite way of saying it. But in harsher terms, the money was robbed!
The Yang Family dominated Gangluo City, and all the forces had to yield to them. Someone dared to target the Yang Family, and from Yang Family Master’s recent loss of status, it must be that more than a few hundred thousand gold coins were taken. After all, the disconnect of funds directly affected the Yang Family Master’s ability to buy the 520,000 Level 6 Soul Armor. Anyone who knew the financial situation of the Yang Family could estimate that the Yang Family’s loss was definitely over 5 million…
“It really was the treasury being robbed, haha!!” Chu Ming’s laughter suddenly echoed in the silent auction house.
Among all the forces in Gangluo City, only Chu Ming, the Chu Family Head who was irreconcilable with the Yang Family, dared to openly mock Yang Kuo in front of everyone.
Chu Ming hadn’t laughed so heartily in a long time, and now he really wanted to meet this bold robber who relieved the Chu Family’s continuous capital blockade by the Yang Family and dealt a heavy blow to the Yang Family!
Yang Kuo’s facial muscles were already twitching. He didn’t expect such a loss of authority in front of so many forces.
“Yang Kuo, if you can’t afford it, don’t take up space here. Just give up with a thick face. It’s not a big deal for a City Lord like you to go back on your word. Everyone is used to it anyway,” Chu Ming laughed again.
“Chu Ming, you old dog, do you have a death wish?!” Yang Kuo finally couldn’t hold back his shame!
“Looking for death? I haven’t moved my old bones for a long time. Come on, let’s have a match. A Level-6 Territory as a bet, do you dare?” Chu Ming showed no fear!
Although the Chu Family as a whole was declining in terms of wealth, connections, territory, and future prospects when compared to the Yang Family, Chu Ming was still stronger than Yang Kuo in terms of individual strength. One on one, Chu Ming was not afraid of Yang Kuo!
Not long ago, they lost a Level-6 Territory, which made Old Yang Kuo very upset. Now their industries were being robbed, the news was delayed for three days, and the 5 million in funds were still hanging. In an extremely embarrassing situation in front of so many people, the auction was temporarily suspended, and their arch-rival insulted them. The blood in their chest was rushing to their throats, and if they couldn’t control themselves, it would gush out.
“A mere 520,000 gold coins mean nothing to me, Yang Kuo. Chu Ming, don’t be so smug. This city lord won’t bother with you!” Yang Kuo indeed had the demeanor, swallowing that mouthful of blood with great difficulty, showing an Old City Lord’s grace very reluctantly in front of the major powers.
“Old City Lord is truly an Old City Lord. He can still be so calm and composed under such circumstances.”
“The Yang Family really is rich and powerful!”
“Old City Lord, don’t worry. Maybe it’s just some petty thieves causing trouble.”
A chorus of flattering and fawning voices rang out, and Old City Lord Yang Kuo’s mood gradually eased. If he were to renege on the purchase, how would he keep face as the City Lord?
“Since that’s the case, this Level 6 Soul Armor will belong to the Yang Family for 5.2 million gold coins!” The Trading Association Club President took the place of the auctioneer and presided over the situation.
As the 5.2 million gold coins were about to be confirmed, the auction house’s storm was naturally suppressed! However, many people could see that Yang Kuo was definitely putting up a facade. If he had the ability to buy now, there would have been no temporary suspensions just now. He should have calmly let the auction continue.
“Gangluo City’s auction house is so unruly. Pausing the auction has already violated the taboo, and now the Soul Armor has been sealed due to a boring farce. Did I ever say I wouldn’t increase the price?!”
Suddenly, a young woman’s voice was heard within the trading hall; it was delicate yet indifferent, and once again, it silenced everyone!!
The auction house president was stunned, he never thought that after years of doing business, he would be accused by a woman like this!
“Miss, I apologize. The interruption by the old city lord has indeed disrupted the normal proceedings. If you want to increase the bid, please do so. The 5.2 million gold coins price is void,” said the auction house president, shifting the blame to the old city lord.
Reputation and rules are of the utmost importance in the auction business. Naturally, the president couldn’t allow his reputation to be tarnished due to the actions of the old city lord.
“What a domineering woman! With just one sentence, she has publicly slapped Old Yang Kuo!”
“Not long ago, this woman appeared at the auction house, and her identity seems not so simple.”
In an instant, the whispers about the mysterious woman began, with everyone guessing where she came from!
“To buy this Level 6 Soul Armor with both ice and fire attributes for a mere 5.2 million gold coins would be undervaluing this rare treasure. My bid is 6 million gold coins!” The woman’s voice slowly spread.
6 million gold coins!!
An auction in Gangluo City with the highest value and a rare Level 6 Territory, sold for about 5 million gold coins. This price directly jumped to 6 million gold coins, setting the highest record in more than a decade!!
At this moment, none of the wealthy businessmen, major families, or even the Old City Lord of the Yang Family had any right to speak.
“6 million gold coins!! This should be the highest price for this Soul Armor. I don’t think anyone has the ability to increase the bid!!” The auctioneer’s words seemed somewhat unprofessional.
With 6 million gold coins spent on a Level 6 Soul Armor, it’s doubtful that any power in Gangluo City would have such courage!
“6 million gold coins, this Level 6 Soul Armor belongs to…Miss,” the auctioneer paused, realizing he didn’t know her name but quickly continued, “belongs to this Miss!”
“Congratulations to the mysterious Miss for her successful purchase of the
Level 6 Soul Armor. This auction will end here… ‘
The auctioneer immediately began the closing remarks. At this time, everyone began to stand up, with most of them casting their eyes on the room where the mysterious woman was.
As the door of the room where everyone’s gaze was focused slowly opened, a beautiful woman appeared in front of everyone. The woman was dressed in cold and gorgeous clothes, giving people a cold and icy feeling.
“It’s her… Grandfather, she’s the one who bought the Demon Tree Heart for 1 million gold coins last time,” Yang Luobin said in a low voice to Yang Kuo.
Yang Kuo frowned, staring at the young woman…
Everyone in Gangluo City started guessing the woman’s identity. After all, someone who could spend 6 million gold coins on Level 6 Soul Armor could not be an ordinary person!
However, as everyone felt surprised by this mysterious woman, they suddenly noticed that the woman of unusual status stopped walking as soon as she stepped out of the room, slightly bowed, as if waiting for someone…
The trading hall suddenly fell silent, and everyone’s eyes widened as they watched a man wearing a cold mask walk out of the room!
Under the astonished gaze of everyone, the black eyes beneath the man’s mask showed a sense of indifference, ignoring everyone present as he walked out of the auction house proudly!
The mysterious woman, who had just been the subject of everyone’s speculation, actually closely followed behind him like a female attendant! “This… this man…
“Recently, there’s been news of a Prison Island King who has made quite a name for himself. It’s said that this top young master has been active near Luo region’s Gangluo City. Could it be… ‘
Apart from that top young expert who had been rumored in the nearby regions, they could hardly imagine who else would have such charisma! “Nightmare Demon Palace’s Prison Island King, Henghai Yan!!”
Uproar and discussions broke out!!
The 7th-level Nightmare Demon Palace title-holder Henghai Yan had the authority to act as a Vice City Master in all Eighth-level cities under the Demon Palace! However, what mattered the most was that soon after entering the
Nightmare Demon Palace, he had defeated the famous top young master, Tian
