Top-tier Unruly Master-Chapter 1926 - 1963: Pushed Too Far
"I bid six thousand five!"
At this moment, a subtle voice slowly echoed through the auction house. As the voice emerged, an awkward expression flitted across the face of the bearded man. He turned his head slightly, looking towards the direction the voice came from.
Meanwhile, in one of the rooms, a playful smile crossed Wang Yu’s lips, his eyes gleaming with a mischievous light.
Standing on the high platform, Xiao Ya’s eyes lit up with a trace of surprise upon hearing the voice. Her gaze flickered, and then she spoke with a smile:
"So Young Master Wang has also taken a liking to the Soulrend Reaper. What great taste! This Soulrend Reaper is indeed a rare combination weapon..."
At this moment, the bearded man hesitated as he looked in the direction of Wang Yu. He knew that Wang Yu was the eldest son of the City Lord Mansion, and offending him was not something he could afford.
After a moment of hesitation, seeing the Soulrend Reaper on the stage, a determined look flashed in his eyes. With a slight pause, he muttered through gritted teeth:
"Seven thousand!"
Upon hearing the bearded man’s voice, Xiao Ya’s eyes momentarily filled with astonishment. Her lips curled slightly, and she softly spoke:
"It seems this friend is determined to get the Soulrend Reaper, having bid seven thousand High Level Spirit Stones. I wonder if our Young Master Wang would like to increase his bid..."
Wang Yu sat in the room, listening to Xiao Ya’s voice, a disdainful expression involuntarily crossing his face. His lips curled slightly, and he leisurely said:
"Eight thousand..."
The surrounding crowd, witnessing this, all revealed expressions of astonishment, their lips twitching slightly as they remarked:
"This bearded man really doesn’t know what’s good for him. Competing for something Wang Yu wants? It’s already eight thousand Spirit Stones. Let’s see how he’ll pay!"
"The power of the City Lord Mansion, you and I both know how terrifying it is. Yet this bearded man dares to snatch food from the tiger’s mouth. He truly doesn’t know what’s good for him!"
Sympathy filled the eyes of the onlookers as they gazed at the bearded man. Ding Fan, observing the scene, let a playful smile spread across his lips and said:
"This bearded man has already fallen into Wang Yu’s trap..."
Upon hearing this, Xia Ling’s eyes filled with surprise, her lips trembling slightly as she curiously asked Ding Fan:
"Brother Ding, you say the bearded man has fallen into Wang Yu’s trap? How is that possible?"
Ding Fan, noticing the surprise in Xia Ling’s eyes, let a smile gradually form on his lips. He replied to Xia Ling with a mysterious tone:
"Wang Yu never intended to buy the Soulrend Reaper from the beginning..."
Hearing Ding Fan’s words, Xia Ling’s eyes widened instantly, her voice trembling as she exclaimed:
"Brother Ding, you say Wang Yu never intended to buy the Soulrend Reaper? How is that possible? He’s already raised the price to eight thousand Spirit Stones. It’s clear he’s determined to get it!"
Ding Fan, hearing Xia Ling’s words, let a cold smile form on his lips. With a soothing tone, he explained:
"Wang Yu knows very well what he wants. Competing with the bearded man for the Soulrend Reaper is merely to add a bit of amusement for himself..."
With Ding Fan’s explanation, Xia Ling’s eyes filled with confusion, her lips trembling slightly as she asked:
"Brother Ding, you mean Wang Yu’s been toying with the bearded man from the beginning? That’s hard to believe. If the bearded man gives up the bidding, doesn’t Wang Yu end up buying the Soulrend Reaper himself?"
Ding Fan, listening to Xia Ling’s question, let out a slight smile, responding slowly:
"Xia Ling, you should know, sometimes in the face of absolute power, you have no choice but to lower your head..."
With those words, a flicker of understanding and confusion crossed Xia Ling’s eyes. Her lips trembled before turning her gaze toward the bearded man.
Upon hearing Wang Yu’s words, the bearded man’s face instantly showed a troubled expression, his voice pausing slightly, and his eyes filled with a sense of despondency as he said:
"I give up!"
At this moment, as the bearded man uttered these words, the surrounding crowd burst into laughter, looking at the bearded man with disdain and saying:
"I knew he couldn’t possibly compete with Young Master Wang. Doesn’t he even look in the mirror? How can he compete with Young Master Wang for something he has his eye on!"
"Exactly, overestimating his capabilities. With Young Master Wang’s strength, he could crush him with just a finger!"
Amidst the crowd’s ridicule towards the bearded man, the corners of Wang Yu’s lips, seated inside the room, slowly curled into a teasing smile. His lips parted slightly, and a voice that carried no doubt slowly emerged from Wang Yu’s mouth.
"I regret it. I’ve decided to sell the Soulrend Reaper to you for eight thousand Spirit Stones, how about it?"
Upon hearing this, the bearded man’s eyes widened instantly, filled with disbelief. His lips trembled slightly, and he shouted at Wang Yu:
"Young Master Wang, aren’t you being a bit too deceitful? You’ve raised the price to eight thousand Spirit Stones and simply say no when you feel like it. Have you no regard for me or the rules of the auction house?"
As the bearded man’s voice echoed out, the crowd’s eyes widened in shock, their gazes full of astonishment. Their lips twitched slightly as they began to speak mockingly:
"Is he mad? Daring to speak to Wang Yu like that, doesn’t he know Wang Yu’s father is the City Lord of the City Lord Mansion, a man of formidable strength that he can’t afford to offend?"
"Doesn’t he realize that Wang Yu’s words are law in Tianqu City? Daring to talk back to Wang Yu like that, his fate might be very tragic..."
The crowd looked at Wang Yu with sympathetic eyes, while Ding Fan, observing this, had a flash of insight in his eyes. His lips quivered slightly and he calmly said:
"It’s coming..."
Nearby, Xia Ling’s eyes also flickered as she heard Ding Fan’s voice. Her head turned slightly, and her eyes gazed towards the room where Wang Yu was.
At this moment, upon hearing the bearded man’s words, a cold gleam appeared in Wang Yu’s eyes. His lips curled slightly, and he spoke in a chilling tone towards the direction of the bearded man:
"In Tianqu City, I am the heavens, I am the law. I make the rules, and so what if you violate them? As for you...what are you?"
Hearing Wang Yu’s words, rage erupted in the bearded man’s eyes. His mouth opened wide, and he roared furiously:
"Wang Yu, don’t push people too far. Just because the City Lord Mansion is powerful, can it really cover the sky with one hand?"
Upon hearing the bearded man’s words, Wang Yu’s mouth curled into a sinister grin. His tone paused slightly before he spoke eerily to the bearded man:
"Indeed, the City Lord Mansion can’t cover the sky with one hand, but crushing a tiny ant is still easy enough..."
The moment the bearded man heard this, a fierce aura burst out from within him. His eyes stared coldly in Wang Yu’s direction.
"Very well, Wang Yu. Let’s see today, aside from the City Lord Mansion’s protection, what else do you have!?"
As he spoke, the bearded man charged fiercely towards the direction of Wang Yu. The crowd watching this scene all had cold indifference in their eyes, as if they had already foreseen the bearded man’s fate.
As the bearded man charged towards his room, Wang Yu’s eyes remained unperturbed. He sat composedly in his room, and a calm voice slowly emerged from his mouth.
"What? Does the auction house not even offer protection for its VIPs?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ya, standing on the high platform, couldn’t help but furrow her brows. Her gaze flickered slightly, and she gently waved her hand, saying:
"Go, bring him back!"
As soon as Xiao Ya’s words fell, four ghostly figures appeared beside the bearded man instantly. Each figure exuded an overwhelming aura. Their eyes glinted slightly, and they reached out towards the bearded man.
Seeing the four figures, shock flooded the bearded man’s eyes. His mouth opened wide, and he instantly gripped a fierce longsword in his hand. With a powerful swing, a sharp Sword Qi erupted from his sword.
The Sword Qi cut through the air swiftly, slashing towards the four sudden figures. Yet, upon seeing this, the four figures remained unflustered, their hands lightly clapping to instantly dissipate the bearded man’s Sword Qi. Simultaneously, a fierce gust of wind erupted from their palms.
With the rush of wind, the bearded man was instantly flipped to the ground, and a feeling of powerlessness surged up within him.
