BXBX NOVEL Chapter 410 The Owner
Wang Jong sat back down with his face twisted. Even though he was from the governor’s official residence, he did not know what to do since the governor was not there with him.
Wang Jong did not have as much authority as the governor did. Thus, he could not stop people from humiliating him.
Wang Tao, who was there with Wang Jong, tightened his fists. His face also twisted. He was very angry. ‘Dogs! If the governor were here, you wouldn’t have dared to do this!’
Zi Tie glanced at Wang Tao and laughed when he saw his face. He raised the price. “Fifty-five thousand gold coins!”
Zi Tie was from the Violet Stars trade association, a direct competitor of the Tien Nan trade association—he could spend as much of the association’s money as he wanted, especially for the seal of an ancient graveyard, which was very rare.
The Violet Stars trade association would even reward him handsomely if he could take it back.
Zi Tie’s heart pounded with happiness when he thought about it.
Song Heng was not smiling anymore. The price that Zi Tie put forth was out of his range.
Even though he wanted to take the seal back to his family, he did not have enough money for it.
The Song family actually owned one seal. One of his ancestors had gotten a chance to enter the graveyard and had walked out of it safely. Even so, he had not found any valuables, except the new seal.
Thus, Song Heng would not be punished even if he did not bring the seal back home.
One seal allowed five people into the graveyard. That was actually a lot of people.
Moreover, only cultivators who were at an earth solid level or below could enter.
Thus, the earth solid realm cultivators had the upper hand.
However, formation realm cultivators mostly did not get a chance to enter the ancient grave anyway since no authorities wanted to send their men in there to die.
Song Heng shook his head. He was sad at not being able to raise the price.
Lei Ba and Hua Lang, who were sitting beside Song Heng, were no different. They thought about it for a second and shook their heads.
The Lei family or the Blazing Flames sect were just like the Song family. They all owned a seal. They did not need to spend money on another one.
Even though with it, they could bring five more people into the graveyard.
At that moment, the hall went quiet. Only the sound of breathing could be heard. A moment later, Tien Ying spoke up with her smooth voice.
“If there are no other honourable guests who would like to make a bid, the seal of the ancient graveyard will be sold to elder Zi Tie.”
“HAHAHA. Anyone dare to challenge my bid?” Zi Tie smirked while looking around the hall.
A lot of people felt angry at what the old man Zi Tie did, especially the men from the authorities. They were all furious and wanted to kill Zi Tie right on the spot.
It was a shame that they had to suppress their anger inside.
“Sixty thousand gold coins.”
An emotionless voice suddenly sounded. Zi Tie’s smile froze. Everyone in the hall went quiet before things erupted into chaos once again.
They did not expect that there would be a richer entity than the Violet Stars trade association.
“Who is that?” Zi Tie shouted with a twisted face. He did not believe that someone would be brave enough to challenge his bid, other than the people from the authorities.
Moreover, the price that had just been put forth was more than he could afford, even though he was from the Violet Stars trade association.
“It’s me.” The emotionless voice sounded again. It was none other than Bai Chen. He was sitting at the far back. His tertiary formation qi was slightly released from him.
He was using a high-grade technique to conceal his real level; even a legendary realm cultivator could find it hard to actually tell his actual level.
Bai Chen had to do this because he did not want anyone to think that he was a genius.
In this world, it would be dangerous to be too outstanding!
Especially the big authorities—the good ones were very nice but the bad ones were absolutely terrible. If they saw a genius, they would definitely invite that genius to join them.
If that genius did not accept the invitation, it was obvious what they were going to do. They would definitely kill that person to stop that genius from growing anymore!
The Tien Nan trade association was an example of a good entity. Even though Bai Chen had declined their offer, they did not do anything to hurt him.
“You dare?” Zi Tie saw Bai Chen as only an ordinary young man. He frowned and pointed at Bai Chen.
On the stage, Tien Ying was surprised. She did not think Bai Chen would be the one who offered a higher price to humiliate Zi Tie.
As for Wang Jong, Wang Tao, Song Heng, Lei Ba, Hua Lang, Tien Wen, and the old man Foo Kong, their eyes glowed while looking at Bai Chen. They thought that what Bai Chen did was absolutely the right thing.
This was because he prevented Zi Tie from getting the seal of the ancient graveyard. They also thought that it was such a humiliation for Zi Tie. How could they not be happy?
“Why not? Everyone has the right to bid. Who do you think you are that you have the right to stop me from raising the price?” Bai Chen looked Zi Tie in the eye without fear.
He was at the same level at Zi Tie. He did not have to be scared, even if the other party was from the Violet Stars trade association.
Bai Chen did not care about the Violet Stars trade association anyway. However, if they targeted him, he would do exactly what his future self had done, destroy them.
Maybe it was because his future self had been cheated by them before. That was why he disliked them to this extent.
“You!” Zi Tie stared at Bai Chen maliciously. Then, he sat back down and did not say anything again.
However, he now had this wicked thought in his head: when the auction ended, he would definitely kill Bai Chen and immediately steal the seal!
