"Silence!" Murong Yu Yan snorted coldly.
The noisy hall instantly fell silent.
People looked at her, puzzled, waiting for her to continue.
"Miss Murong, he’s here to cause trouble. Have soone throw him out imdiately!" Brother Tian coldly commanded.
"Shut your mouth!" Murong Yu Yan’s gaze turned icy as she spoke.
Intimidated by Murong Yu Yan’s glare, Brother Tian panicked and, though unwilling, took a seat.
Murong Yu Yan swept her cold gaze over the crowd and, seeing no one dared to object, continued.
Her chilly eyes then turned toward Zhang Xiaohao.
"Mr. Zhang, right? Are you aware of the consequences of deceiving the Murong Family?" Murong Yu Yan said indifferently.
"You’re overestimating yourself. Where do you get the arrogance to think I would deceive you?" Zhang Xiaohao responded impassively.
"Hmph!" Murong Yu Yan snorted coldly, and then continued.
"As far as I know, your Bai Xue Company, with a market value of a few billion, has had only one product, ’Parisian Spring,’ that’s been a hot seller recently. Haven’t all your other costics products failed miserably?" Murong Yu Yan assertively said.
"That’s our company’s internal business secret. I don’t see what it has to do with tonight’s charity auction," Zhang Xiaohao countered.
"Hmph!" Murong Yu Yan snorted again and said,
"Do you have any idea how much tonight’s auctioned items are worth?"
"How much?" Zhang Xiaohao shrugged.
"Not counting the bidding price, conservatively, they’re worth about ten billion!" Murong Yu Yan said proudly.
Her eyes seed to suggest that even if you sold the entire Bai Xue Company, it might not fetch that much.
"Ten billion?" Zhang Xiaohao frowned as he spoke.
"What, are you afraid now? If we include the bidding, the price could easily go ten tis higher, close to a hundred billion," Murong Yu Yan said with a sneer.
"A hundred billion?" Zhang Xiaohao said flatly.
"Hmph! Pay an additional fifty million as compensation while I’m still in a good mood, and we’ll forget this ever happened," Murong Yu Yan said arrogantly.
"Why are you so pleased? Did I ever say I don’t want these items? Ten billion? A hundred billion? They’re re trifles to . Now, have your people bring everything out. I want to see exactly what treasures they are!" Zhang Xiaohao said with relish.
"Hmph! Let make myself clear; if you dare to play us for fools, the wrath of the Murong Family is not sothing you can bear," Murong Yu Yan stated coldly.
"Is that so? Let remind you, if a cent of this money is spent elsewhere, the wrath of Zhang Xiaohao is not sothing your Murong Family can bear either," Zhang Xiaohao said sternly.
"Hmph! Soone, bring everything up," Murong Yu Yan clapped her hands and ordered.
As her words ended, waiters, one after another, respectfully ca out, dragging treasures with them.
"Place them on the floor," Zhang Xiaohao said offhandedly.
"Do as he says!" Murong Yu Yan ordered.
Following her command, the waiters placed everything on the floor.
"There are a total of eighteen treasures, conservatively estimated at ten billion!" Murong Yu Yan said haughtily.
Clearly, she took pride in her family’s ability to bring out so many precious items all at once.
"Hmm, not bad. Ten billion might be a bit inflated, but it’s not too far off," Zhang Xiaohao nodded and said.
His gaze, however, lingered on the last item.
It was a golden vase, carved with dragons and phoenixes, as if ready to soar.
Even if this ordinary vase were worth a lot of money, it couldn’t catch his interest.
However, he sensed a trace of a sealing aura emanating from this vase.
It seed that this vase, adorned with dragons and phoenixes in auspicious harmony, had been sealed by a master.
Otherwise, if the seal on it were to be lifted, let alone one hundred billion, even two hundred billion or more would probably not be enough to acquire it.
"Since there’s nothing wrong with the item, let’s proceed with the transaction!" Murong Yu Yan said.
Clap clap!!
As the sound of her clapping hands echoed, a waiter ca over with a POS machine in hand.
"Huh? What are you doing?" Zhang Xiaohao asked, puzzled.
"A card transaction, of course! You didn’t seriously think we’d use cash, did you?" Murong Yu Yan said with irritation.
She wanted to see if this guy could really produce ten billion.
"Sorry! I don’t have a card," Zhang Xiaohao said indifferently.
"Hahaha... Kid, I knew it. You’re just posing! Trying to win Miss Murong’s favor during this opportunity, hmph! I’m telling you, with your little skill, thinking you can swagger in front of Miss Murong, it’s simply laughable! Miss Murong, this brat is causing trouble, have soone throw him out!" Brother Tian said arrogantly.
"You shut your mouth! When did it beco your turn to speak here?" Murong Yu Yan snapped coldly.
Her icy gaze settled on Zhang Xiaohao.
"Do you know the consequences of playing ?" Murong Yu Yan said coldly.
"Never played, so I don’t know!" Zhang Xiaohao shrugged and replied.
"Hmph! You’ll find out soon enough. Soone drag this troublemaker out and blacklist Bai Xue Company!" Murong Yu Yan said, seething with murderous intent.
As her words fell,
four fierce-looking n with a tinge of blood scent and overflowing with evil Qi began to approach Zhang Xiaohao.
Zhang Xiaohao’s gaze narrowed as he calmly took a glance at the four of them.
"They’re all in the late stages of the Hundred Veins Realm! What kind of background does the Murong Family really have?" Zhang Xiaohao wondered to himself.
As the four n drew closer,
the spectators below folded their arms, quietly watching the drama unfold.
"Sister Tianxue, why aren’t you worried at all?" Zhou Yating asked.
"When out and about, a woman should not interfere in a man’s business! Even if he stabs a hole in the sky, we must continue to support him!" Cheng Tianxue said calmly.
In her words, though, was a firm resolve.
"Oh!" Zhou Yating responded, half-understanding.
"The Murong Family really does put on quite a show, don’t they? Is this how they treat the champion of an auction?" Zhang Xiaohao said sarcastically, with his arms crossed.
"Stop!" Murong Yu Yan commanded with a wave of her hand.
The four n imdiately halted.
"What do you an by this?" Murong Yu Yan asked.
"Are you so clown invited by a monkey to entertain ?" Zhang Xiaohao mocked.
"Hmm? You’ve got so nerve! You dare to insult !" Murong Yu Yan said, narrowing her eyes.
"Insult you? I wouldn’t want to dirty my mouth!" Zhang Xiaohao said coolly.
"Hmpf! What exactly are you trying to say?" Murong Yu Yan asked, barely holding back her anger.
Ever since she was born, she had been born with a golden key in her mouth.
As the treasured pearl of the Murong Family, she got whatever she wanted, whether it was the wind, the rain, or even a rainbow from the sky, soone would always try to pluck it for her. Yet tonight, she was scorned by a detestable man.
