Eternal Dragon Emperor Chapter 428 428: Making an Enemy of the Eldest Prince (Part

"I can't believe the mber of the Royal Family and Relatives in VIP Room 1 is the Eldest Prince! Thank goodness I didn't raise my bid again. If he found out I was competing with him, he'd surely hold it against !" Young Master Ouyang said from VIP Room 7, a wave of fear washing over him.

"A wise decision, Young Master! The Eldest Prince ca here in person to bid on this Soul dicine, which proves its importance to him. If he runs short on Spirit Stones, we can assist him. It would be the perfect opportunity to show him the Ouyang Clan's loyalty!" the old man said.

"That's an excellent idea. Helping the Eldest Prince is more important than winning any auction items. My father won't bla for coming back empty-handed; in fact, he'll think I did the right thing!" Young Master Ouyang said with a laugh. He could already picture his father praising him.

"So he's already losing his cool! Trying to threaten ? Not a chance! Is forty million a lot? Xu Chun, raise the bid directly to fifty million. Now's the perfect ti to knock him down a peg. I can't stand arrogant little pricks like him," Ye Tian said.

Zhou Hongtao just stared at Ye Tian. He had a sinking feeling about how big this was going to get. Once the auction was over, there would surely be a city-wide manhunt for Ye Tian. If he stuck with them, his own life could be forfeit.

At first, he had been terrified for his life—after all, everyone cherishes their own. But when Ye Tian told him to bid on anything he liked, he had been deeply moved.

'They don't treat like an outsider.' Judging by their deanor, they had to be people of incredible status. A life like his should be insignificant in their eyes, while their own lives were priceless. Yet, they showed no fear. That must an they had the power to face any danger that ca their way.

Xu Chun then raised the bid to fifty million Spirit Stones. The enormous figure seed to dazzle everyone's eyes. It was a direct jump of ten million. The shock wasn't just because of the fifty million itself, but because the bid ca from VIP Room 3.

What was most terrifying was that VIP Room 3 had already spent a fortune in Spirit Stones. To still have such deep pockets was simply incredible. In total, they had now bid over one hundred million Spirit Stones. It seed impossible, yet it was happening right before their eyes.

The auction hall erupted into a frenzy once more. Discussions broke out everywhere, and even the occupants of the other VIP rooms began to speculate about the identity of the person in Room 3. No one had ever heard of soone with such terrifying wealth. So even wondered if they were from a rival empire.

"The person in VIP Room 3 certainly has guts, daring to challenge . To raise the bid by ten million... it seems they're tired of living! I don't care who it is; I don't want them leaving this city alive. After the auction, make the arrangents," the Eldest Prince said to the old man beside him.

The handmaiden, anwhile, didn't dare to breathe. 'My life is in his hands, and I'm as good as dead.' But now, she saw a glimr of hope. 'The person in VIP Room 3 is actually challenging this ruthless Eldest Prince! That ans they have the power to stand against him!'

'If I can seize this opportunity, I might just survive. After the auction, I have to find a way to escape. The attendant in VIP Room 3 is Xu Chun. We get along pretty well. Maybe she can put in a good word for .'

"Raise the bid to fifty-five million! If that person in VIP Room 3 dares to bid again, take so n and go straight to his room to cause trouble!" the Eldest Prince ordered.

「In a private room within the auction house.」 The Association Leader stared at the screen, his face a mask of disbelief. After a long mont, he finally spoke. "Who in the world are Ye Tian and Zhang Xinlan? They possess such terrifying wealth, and the items they've presented are extraordinary... especially that mysterious Lotus Seed. I've never heard of anything like it.

And the Exquisite Short Sword... that's an item of legend, yet they have one. For them to openly defy the Eldest Prince ans their background must be formidable. We have to handle this situation carefully. A mont ago, I was considering whether to back him completely, but now... it seems we must wait and see how things unfold.

The situation in the Imperial City is turbulent right now. The four Princes are all secretly vying for the throne. If one of them gains the upper hand, the other three will suffer a fatal blow, and anyone associated with them will be dragged down as well.

If we offend the Eldest Prince now, and he ends up taking power... you and I both know what a devastating blow that would be to Linxiao City. He's the most powerful of the four Princes. Rumor has it he's even considering forcing the Emperor to abdicate."

"The identity of those in VIP Room 3 is indeed a mystery, and their power is unfathomable. That woman, in particular, is the most enigmatic; she gives off an aura that's impossible to read. You are right to think this way, Association Leader. We cannot risk utter annihilation for the sake of one person," the middle-aged man said.

The astronomical figure of fifty-five million appeared on the massive screen in the auction hall, leaving everyone stunned. The chatter died down. The master of VIP Room 1 had spoken, which signaled how serious the situation had beco.

While most people didn't know the true identity of the person in VIP Room 1, they were certain it was an important mber of the Royal Family. For VIP Room 3 to oppose them was surely courting death. So people were already speculating about what fate awaited the occupants of Room 3.

They would likely have all their winnings seized by the mber of the Royal Family and Relatives from VIP Room 1, before being executed.

Ye Tian and Zhang Xinlan, however, paid the Eldest Prince's threat no mind. "Fifty-five million? That is a bit much. Well then, let's just see how badly you need this Soul dicine! Xu Chun, raise the bid to eighty-five million. If there's one thing I have, it's plenty of Spirit Stones."

"Young Master, are you sure? A bid of eighty-five million?" Xu Chun was stunned by Ye Tian's bid. A jump of thirty million... it was an amount ant to crush any opposition.

"That's right. Let's see if he actually has eighty-five million Spirit Stones. If he doesn't, he won't dare to make another peep!" Ye Tian said.

"Young Master, doing this will surely make the master of VIP Room 1 your enemy. You must understand, you are on your own here. You might be safe within Linxiao City, but if you leave, you'll be hunted down," Xu Chun said, her voice filled with worry.

"I'll deal with whatever cos my way. I don't care if he's the Eldest Prince. If he hadn't provoked , he might have lived a little longer. But if he dares to try anything, his ti is up. Don't question my abilities. Killing a re Eldest Prince is hardly any effort at all!" Ye Tian said.

"Young Master... just who are you? The Eldest Prince is the most powerful figure in the Celestial Dragon Empire, yet you claim you can kill him easily. That's just... unbelievable!" Xu Chun couldn't help but ask. The mont the words left her mouth, she realized her mistake. Those were not questions a re attendant should be asking.
