131: I'll break your legs

Not only tourists and Treasure Hunters, but many influential big shots in Borton City also gave Qin Yun face.

This situation exceeded the expectations of the two owners.

Seeing the crowd, though filled with righteous indignation, remaining remarkably restrained, the two felt a bit frightened.

At this moment, with just one word from Qin Yun, they would likely be severely beaten by the onlookers.

“I'm leaving these three containers right here. I'd like to see who dares to touch them.”

“If anyone touches a single thing inside, we'll see each other in court!”

After the two owners dropped their harsh words, they ordered their employees to stand guard nearby while they themselves quietly slipped away from the back.

Since the main parties had left and Qin Yun said he didn't need their help, the Tycoons walked up to Qin Yun one by one to bid him farewell.

“Brother Qin Yun, I'll be heading off first. If you need anything, just give me the word!”

“Our Borton City isn't to be trifled with. I'll definitely lend a hand when the time comes!”

“Scum like that just need to be taught a lesson. Count me in when it's time!”

“To dare provoke even Mr. Qin, those two boys must really be tired of living.”

“Just go ahead and do what you need to do. I still have some influence in Borton City.”

“Borton City will absolutely not allow such things to exist. These two shameless fellows must be punished!”

...The Tycoons only left after promising Qin Yun their support.

Qin Yun cupped his hands to thank everyone for their kindness, saying he would definitely contact them if the need arose.

People on the square gradually dispersed, leaving only those who were more concerned about Qin Yun.

“I think we should just let this matter go. It's not worth getting angry over a warehouse.”

“It's our fault for not signing a contract, letting those two bastards find a loophole. Otherwise, this wouldn't have happened.”

“You have a bright future ahead of you. Don't do anything illegal over this; it's really not worth it.”

“Those Tycoons were just saying polite words earlier. Don't take them seriously. If you actually get into trouble, they likely won't step in.”

“We are just Treasure Hunters, relying on Warehouse Auctions to make money. We can't fight against a Storage Company.”

“You haven't lost anything yet, you just didn't buy one warehouse. Let's just leave it at that.”

...The remaining people, fearing Qin Yun might do something foolish, all tried to persuade him with earnest words.

Qin Yun was just one person; if he kept pushing, he would be no match for a Storage Company.

Even if the other party was just a branch of a Storage Company, they were all in league with each other. If Qin Yun were blacklisted by all Storage Companies, the loss would outweigh the gain.

Qin Yun smiled, feeling very grateful for the kindness of these strangers.

But these people were completely mistaken.

He truly had the strength to not fear those two owners.

The Tycoons of Borton City also truly wanted to help.

In the Storage Company, Arnold, who was in charge of the auction business, was his good friend.

In every aspect, he was an existence that could crush the opposition.

“Thank you all for your kind intentions. You don't need to worry. I will make them hand over the warehouse to me respectfully.”

“We Treasure Hunters shouldn't have this idea of being inferior. As a person from Xia Country, I'm not someone to be bullied easily either!”

Qin Yun calmly spoke his mind and left directly with Julia, Hank, and the others.

Although the other party couldn't stir up much trouble in Borton City, for the sake of the yongle encyclopedia, he still had to give it his full effort.

The more thorough the preparations, the better.

Hearing Qin Yun's final impassioned declaration, no one took it seriously.

Qin Yun was just a Treasure Hunter. Even if he had some influence, it couldn't be that high.

He couldn't be compared with the two from the Storage Company.

He hadn't acted before, so he was likely just saying polite words now. Since he had already left, he surely wouldn't do anything irrational.

No one intended to expose Qin Yun; this was a man's final dignity and stubbornness.

They were the same kind of people as Qin Yun. Facing a giant like a Storage Company, individual strength was simply too meager.

But one couldn't be without hope and fighting spirit.

Reality was already bloody enough. If even such thoughts weren't allowed, life for ordinary people would be far too tragic.

Everyone shook their heads, their faces full of regretful expressions.

Even Qin Yun, the most prestigious Treasure Hunter in the Treasure Hunting Circle, met with such an encounter.

They had even fewer options and left the stadium feeling dejected.

Back at home, Julia and Hank knew Qin Yun very well, but they were still worried about whether he could get the yongle encyclopedia.

“Qin, do you have any good ideas? If those two insist on leaving, we really don't have a good way to stop them.”

“They are only failing to follow the customs and agreements of Warehouse Auctions, but they haven't broken the law. Legally, we can only warn them. At the level of Warehouse Auctions, we can unite Treasure Hunters to boycott them.”

“If those two stop working in the Warehouse Auction industry, we really don't have many effective options.”

Julia had thought for a long time on the way back, but she still couldn't think of a way to obtain the yongle encyclopedia through legitimate means.

“You have a deep understanding of the law, but you know nothing about the power of capital and influence. Just wait; the yongle encyclopedia will definitely end up in my hands.”

Qin Yun smiled, a look of profound mystery on his face.

They were just two bastards trying to strike it rich by taking advantage. In Borton City, he had countless ways to seize those containers.

It was just that he still had to work in the Treasure Hunting Circle, so it wasn't good to do things too excessively in the open.

“Qin Yun, your career is still in its early stages. You should be more restrained and try not to offend people too much, otherwise you won't last long in the Treasure Hunting Circle.”

Hank had spent decades rolling in wealthy circles and understood the filth and power within them very well.

He was afraid Qin Yun would act too impulsively, so he gave him a subtle reminder.

“I know. My goal is the yongle encyclopedia. I won't do anything foolish.”

Qin Yun nodded slightly and then made a phone call to arrange the subsequent matters.

At eleven o'clock at night, just as everyone was preparing to sleep, Qin Yun's phone rang.

“Hello, is this Mr. Qin? I'm one of Murray Jeff's men. Those two owners have already started loading the containers onto a cargo ship. We are going through procedures to stall for time. What do you think we should do?”

Hearing the voice on the phone, Qin Yun gave a cold laugh.

The two wanted to escape under the cover of night? They thought this matter was way too simple.

“Thank you. Just stall them for half an hour. I'll get there as soon as possible.”

Qin Yun hung up the phone and drove to the port with Julia.

While driving, he had Julia call a few of the Tycoons they were on good terms with.

The two owners were directing their employees to move faster and urging the port Staff Members to start the crane as soon as possible.

“Please, brothers, hurry up. We're in a rush. This red envelope is for your hard work.”

The thinner owner lowered his posture, trying to use money to settle the Staff Members.

The Staff Member looked at the thickness of the red envelope, feeling very tempted, but still shook his head.

“Sorry, our port has rules and regulations. Necessary procedures must be followed. Otherwise, if a customer loses goods, a small employee like me can't afford the compensation.”

“You'd better take back the red envelope. Company policy forbids accepting red envelopes from customers, or I'll be fired!”

The Staff Member clenched his fist, refusing with a face full of integrity.

He could tell the difference between a steady meal and a single full meal. If he took the red envelope and let these people leave,

It wouldn't just be as simple as losing his job; he would also offend his boss and the rising star of the treasure hunting world, Qin Yun.

It wasn't worth it for this little bit of money.

“You stupid idiot, don't refuse a gesture of goodwill. I'm honoring you by talking to you. Start the crane now, or I have countless ways to...”

Seeing that money didn't work, the thin owner immediately began to curse and sternly threaten the Staff Member.

Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by the roar of a car engine. Turning around, he saw bright headlights and covered his tearing eyes with his hand.

In the blur, he saw two people getting out of the car.

“You have countless ways to do what?”

“If you're so powerful, why are you trying to sneak away in the middle of the night like a stray dog?”
