"Lei Yangyu!" Huangfu Jinhuan shouted angrily, "As the heads of Celestial Human Families, do you really want to go against ?"
"Oh dear, what an overbearing tone, it really frightens ," Lei Yangyu said sarcastically. "Is this Changning Guard your Huangfu Family’s personal domain now? Do the Celestial Human Lei Family not even have the right to speak the truth?"
This Lei Yangyu was clearly soone unafraid of stirring trouble, especially at a ti when the Huangfu Family was down. If not now, when should you kick a man while he’s down?
The heads of two major Celestial Human Families were clashing.
Naturally, this made the spectators excited and thrilled.
"Everyone, shut up." Xiahou Hongde felt a headache coming. Clearly, Wang Shouzhe had prepared in advance, planning to catch the Celestial Human Huangfu Family off guard. Whether he truly aid to acquire all assets of Qianma Huangfu Family or just wanted to raise the price to disgust Huangfu Jinhuan was unknown.
What was this kid really planning? Was he truly set on breaking ties with the Huangfu Family?
But Xiahou Hongde owed Wang Shouzhe a favor. As the saying goes, "A man who takes is soft-hearted," and if it was legal and reasonable, he naturally had to be partial.
Imdiately, Xiahou Hongde said rather "impatiently," "There are no regulations in Daqian for auctions, and coincidentally, this city guard has other matters shortly, so let’s auction it as a package."
When he said this, Xiahou Hongde had a ridiculous thought—could it be that Wang Shouzhe had calculated all this for the auction today?
If so, the depth of this kid’s scheming was remarkable. No wonder the Celestial Human Huangfu Family suffered such a setback at his hands. Likely, they would face another setback today.
With Xiahou Hongde’s statent.
The matter was settled decisively.
The official respectfully accepted the order and then announced, "The auction officially begins, all assets of Qianma Huangfu Family are being sold as a package, starting price is 540,000 Qian Gold."
"Five hundred forty thousand," Wang Shouzhe raised his hand.
"You..." Huangfu Jinhuan almost spat blood, glaring daggers at Wang Shouzhe, "Wang Shouzhe, are you really going against our Huangfu Family?"
"Hehe~ The Patriarch Yangyu is right." Wang Shouzhe said calmly, "Your Huangfu Family truly sees Changning Guard as its own domain? Just a normal competitive bidding, are threats necessary if you can’t afford it? I am truly frightened."
He shared the sa plan as Lei Yangyu, which was to take the opportunity to throw stones at the Huangfu Family while they were struggling. Although this wouldn’t kill them, it would significantly damage the reputation and prestige of the Celestial Human Huangfu Family.
As the spectators laughed recklessly, the gazes of the heads of the Eighth and Ninth-Grade Noble Families on stage revealed contempt and sarcasm.
This prestigious Celestial Human Huangfu Family turned out to be so incapable, not only unable to swallow the branch’s wealth but also couldn’t compete with an Eighth-Grade Noble Family in the auction.
The direction of Changning Guard seed to be changing.
The crowd looked at Wang Shouzhe as if watching a rising star.
The auction official, clearly soone adept at reading minds, seeing Xiahou City Guard siding with Wang Shouzhe, realized the inner inclination was towards the Wang Family.
Imdiately, he slightly frowned and said, "Patriarch Huangfu, this is a serious auction. Either bid or quit. I warn you not to bid recklessly. If the money isn’t found in three days, our Patrol Camp isn’t joking around."
"Five hundred fifty thousand!" Huangfu Jinhuan, with a gloomy face, shouted a price, thinking ways to cover the shortfall of fifteen thousand within three days was still possible.
"Petty." Wang Shouzhe shook his head, "Six hundred thousand."
"You..." Huangfu Jinhuan shouted angrily, "Wang Shouzhe, are you really intending to acquire those pastures? The Wang Family doesn’t raise livestock; what’s the use of pastures?"
"I don’t mind, just joining in the excitent," Wang Shouzhe said with a smile, "Just bidding casually, if the Patriarch bids high, I’ll back out, consider it contributing a little more to Changning Guard’s developnt fund. If the Patriarch can’t afford it, I’ll acquire it as an investnt, operate for a few years then sell gradually, it’s still profitable. The Patriarch may continue..."
Continue, continue your soul.
Huangfu Jinhuan wanted to curse directly, six hundred thousand? How many Celestial Human Families can co up with six hundred thousand instantly?
"Alright, alright, alright!"
Huangfu Jinhuan’s face turned red and white, "Wang Shouzhe, you’re ruthless, let’s wait and see."
"Lord City Guard." Wang Shouzhe cupped his hands to Xiahou Hongde, "I report the Huangfu Family, they’re threatening . If anything happens to soon, it’s definitely the doing of the Huangfu Family. Due to the threat, I apply for a Patrol Camp to protect ."
"Huangfu Jinhuan, you better behave with this city guard and don’t provoke ." Xiahou Hongde felt extrely dissatisfied with the Huangfu Family recently. If Wang Shouzhe hadn’t solved the Yin Sha Sect’s issue, sothing major might have happened before his transfer.
"Xiahou City Guard, I rely lost a bid, hence so anger," Huangfu Jinhuan cupped his hands, "Our Huangfu Family abides by the law, certainly won’t violate Daqian Law."
"Also you, Patriarch Shouzhe," Xiahou Hongde glared, "My City Guardian’s Patrol Camp has the responsibility of protecting the city and citizens, not to be used as your personal bodyguard."
After a pause, he took out an item with a frown: "This object is a Cloud-piercing Cannon, a military aid item. As long as you’re within a hundred miles of City Guardian’s Mansion, we can receive a distress signal. Only one use, don’t act recklessly."
It was truly an unexpected delight.
Wang Shouzhe rely accused Huangfu Jinhuan with so falsehood, knowing well that the Huangfu Family was planning sothing big, definitely not dispatching Ancestor Hua Ye for an assassination.
However, acquiring fixed assets of Qianma Huangfu Family as a bonus, and obtaining the aid Treasure Cloud-piercing Cannon, was naturally pleasing.
It’s just a sha that Huangfu Jinhuan never dread the vital role those pastures would play if Wang Shouzhe acquired them. If he knew, he’d give an arm or leg to bid for them.
