122: Rob
"Gao Shen!" Elder Gao turned his head; he had noticed Gao Shen long ago.
From the moment they first entered the Auction House.
Elder Gao had seen Gao Shen, and it was also Gao Shen who had bid for the treasure.
"Elder Gao, this humble one is here." Gao Shen immediately stood up to greet him, full of flattery.
In truth, everyone in Yizhou City knew very well.
What kind of figure was Elder Gao?
Regardless, he was someone small characters like them couldn't afford to offend.
Gao Shen didn't want to make an enemy of the Gao Family, so he supported Elder Gao.
"Elder Gao, if you have any instructions, just say the word. As long as I can do it, I definitely will." Gao Shen patted his chest and chuckled.
After hearing this, Elder Gao nodded in satisfaction.
Then, Elder Gao reached out and lightly patted Gao Shen's shoulder.
"In that case, hand the item over. The Gao Family wants everything here," Elder Gao said with a smile.
After hearing these words.
Gao Shen's Face twitched, but facing the Gao Family...
Gao Shen had no choice. After all, in the current Yizhou City, the Gao Family was the sole dominant force.
No other Family could resist them.
"Yes, Elder Gao. Rest assured, I would never compete with the Gao Family for anything! A few decades ago, we might have even been one Family," Gao Shen smiled.
However, in his heart, Gao Shen hated Elder Gao to death. It was all because of this fellow.
Otherwise, Gao Shen wouldn't have lost so much Face.
As long as it was in Yizhou City, no matter where, Gao Shen would always be suppressed by Elder Gao.
"Good, it's best that you have that mindset." Elder Gao tilted his head back and laughed.
Seeing this, a cold glint flashed in Gao Shen's eyes, and he simultaneously revealed a look of fierce hatred.
You old geezer, why don't you laugh yourself to death?
Just go die already!
Dammit, just looking at you makes my blood boil.
Of course, Gao Shen only cursed like this in his heart.
"Kid, since that's the case, the item is mine now, right?" Elder Gao turned around and stared at the Host.
"Yes, as long as Boss Gao Shen has no objections, the item naturally belongs to you," the Host smiled.
The buyer himself had nothing to say.
What could he, a Host, possibly say?
It was better to avoid trouble and do Elder Gao a favor at the same time.
"What's the background of this Elder Gao? How can he be so arrogant!" Nan Qingyue's Face was grim. She clenched her fists tightly, feeling very unwilling.
On what grounds did this Elder Gao claim that everything at the auction belonged to the Gao Family?
How could he be so overbearing?
"After the Yang Family disappeared from Yizhou City, the Gao Family naturally became the hegemon," Li Changfeng pondered carefully. "Thus, it's only natural for Elder Gao to be arrogant."
"However, this Gao Family actually wants to become the second Yang Family. Since that's the case, I'll grant your wish!"
"I'll let you know exactly how the Yang Family disappeared!"
A cold glint flashed in Li Changfeng's eyes as he clenched his fists tightly.
At this moment.
The fire of anger in Li Changfeng's heart had been ignited. He simply couldn't stand such arrogant people.
Zhang Yun hid under his chair and slowly raised his head.
"Mister, please don't do anything foolish. This Gao Family is not to be trifled with. I think we should leave here; at least we'll still have our lives!" Zhang Yun was terrified; he was afraid of being seen by Elder Gao.
Just now, it was Zhang Yun who had injured Gao Yuan.
Because of that, if Zhang Yuan was seen by Elder Gao, it would be bad; he would definitely come to settle the score.
At this moment, to Zhang Yuan, this Elder Gao was like the King of Hell!
"What are you afraid of!" Nan Qingyue snorted coldly. "With my Master here, no one can harm you. Just relax!"
"Besides, it's just a Gao Family?"
"Watch my Master wipe out his whole clan in no time!"
A fierce light burst from Nan Qingyue's eyes; she was filled with hostility.
But after hearing this.
Zhang Yuan was somewhat astonished. Wipe out the Gao Family?
They were the hegemons of Yizhou City, and he wanted to exterminate their entire clan?
They couldn't even run away, yet he said such things.
"Alright, Qingyue, no need to say more," Li Changfeng said gloomily.
In fact, Li Changfeng already had a plan regarding the Gao Family.
He had to get the Seven-Colored Powder.
Whether it was the Gao Family, the Li Family, or the Wang Family.
Li Changfeng didn't care, nor would he take them seriously.
What Li Changfeng wanted to do now was save his Disciple's life. Situ Jiu was loyal to the Divine Sword Sect and even more loyal to him.
Li Changfeng couldn't let such a person die.
He certainly wouldn't let anything happen to him!
"Qingyue, get ready. We will forcibly bid for the Seven-Colored Powder. If the Gao Family comes after us, there will be a tough battle once we leave the Auction House." Li Changfeng breathed a sigh of relief; he had already made his decision.
"Don't worry, Master, I won't be afraid," Nan Qingyue nodded vigorously.
And after hearing this.
Zhang Yun found it hard to believe.
These days, there were actually people who wanted to oppose Elder Gao?
Just what was the background of these two!
"Is that so? Then I'll leave it to you." Zhang Yun was already terrified; he wished he could crawl into a crack in the ground.
"Kid, continue. What's the second auction item?" Elder Gao was getting impatient; he had already been waiting for a while.
Hearing this, the Host suddenly snapped out of it.
After a long while, the Host took a deep breath and spoke slowly, "Everyone, the next item is the Seven-Colored Powder."
"This Seven-Colored Powder is the world's most unique poison."
"Legend has it that anyone touched by the Seven-Colored Powder will surely die."
"Besides being a poison, it can also be used as a medicinal ingredient."
The Host continued his explanation.
The maids smiled knowingly and slowly walked forward carrying the bottle of Seven-Colored Powder.
Elder Gao nodded slightly. It was a good item, but it wasn't of much use to the Gao Family.
However, the Gao Family intended to take everything in the Auction House today.
This was a matter concerning the Gao Family's prestige; Elder Gao had to do it.
"Starting price: three hundred taels of gold!" The Host held up three fingers and announced loudly.
Hearing this, Li Changfeng let out a long sigh of relief.
He had thought the starting price would be three thousand taels of gold; three hundred taels was quite manageable.
"Master, we have a chance! I didn't expect the starting price for this Seven-Colored Powder to be so cheap." Nan Qingyue was overjoyed.
As long as they got the Seven-Colored Powder, Situ Jiu could be saved.
Zhang Yun, however, frowned and shook his head helplessly.
"A price of three hundred taels of gold is indeed cheap, but with Elder Gao here, I'm afraid it won't be that easy to get." Zhang Yun shook his head helplessly.
"Seriously, let's just leave."
"If we offend Elder Gao here, we won't have a good outcome."
Zhang Yun was scared to death; the Gao Family's power was truly too great.
Otherwise, even when his wife ran off with the Young Master of the Gao Family, he hadn't done anything.
"What are you afraid of? It's not like we're asking you to seize it," Nan Qingyue said disdainfully.
"Good, that's good." Zhang Yun breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly retreated several steps.
