79: Tell the story

Telephone Pole could no longer maintain the fierce expression on his face. Like a defeated rooster, he stood to the side dejectedly, unable to utter a single word.

Seeing Telephone Pole's defeat, everyone at the scene was extremely excited.

They cheered loudly, and some even whistled at Telephone Pole.

“Does he still not recognize reality? Ten of him couldn't compare to a big shot like Qin Yun!”

“This guy wanted to save a little bit of face through money, but now it seems he's just a clown!”

“Comparing wealth with a big shot from the big city? I think he'd be better off finding a wall to bash his head against!”

“If I were him, I would have knelt and admitted my mistakes long ago. With a brother like that, does he still have the face to be a human being?”

...Hearing the townspeople, who used to be very complimentary toward him, actually dare to mock him, Telephone Pole felt he was losing face.

Ever since his brother went to prison, the people around him had begun to ostracize him.

If he couldn't take revenge on Qin Yun now, he might never see his enemy again for the rest of his life.

Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth and placed his suit on the table.

“This is a high-end custom suit I ordered for over three thousand dollars. Can I mortgage it for two thousand?”

Telephone Pole no longer cared about anything else. For that insignificant bit of revenge, he was willing to pay any price!

The people organizing the Warehouse Auction already disliked Telephone Pole, and they disliked mortgaging items even more.

Seeing Telephone Pole pull out a desert eagle earlier, they were momentarily stunned and didn't react.

At that time, Qin Yun hadn't said anything, so they had no choice but to passively accept it.

But when Telephone Pole tried it again, using the suit he was wearing as collateral, the Person in Charge was directly enraged.

“The auction company does not accept mortgages, especially not for a suit you've already worn.”

“I’d find it smelly just having it here. You want to mortgage this trash for two thousand dollars? You’re dreaming!”

After the Person in Charge finished speaking while holding his nose, he threw the suit back at Telephone Pole with disdain!

For the sake of his insignificant revenge against Qin Yun, Telephone Pole's eyes had turned red; he insisted on making the man who sent his brother to prison pay a certain price.

Seeing that this Person in Charge actually dared to insult him, his last shred of reason vanished completely.

A murderous glint appeared in his eyes as he recalled his plan to use the gun in his hand to deal with Qin Yun.

He suddenly reached out to grab the gun on the table, determined to make the hateful fellow in front of him pay the price, even if it meant going to prison.

He had it all planned out: first, use the gun to kill this Person in Charge who dared to insult him.

Then, use the gun to take revenge on Qin Yun; he had even thought of an escape route.

But reality was cruel and entirely different from what he had imagined.

Telephone Pole used to do clerical work, so his movements were not agile at all.

In the eyes of the warehouse Person in Charge, Telephone Pole’s eyes were fixed tightly on the pistol on the table, already exposing his intentions.

As Telephone Pole reached out, the Person in Charge beat him to it and picked up the desert eagle from the table.

He flipped off the safety and pressed the muzzle directly against Telephone Pole's head.

“Get out! If you cause any more trouble at the Auction House, I won't be polite!”

The Person in Charge had a fierce look on his face; if Telephone Pole dared to say a single word of dissent, he would make him suffer.

Those who can organize Warehouse Auctions always have considerable influence locally.

Even when Golden Tooth was around, the Person in Charge was not afraid.

Moreover, Golden Tooth had already been sent to prison; Telephone Pole was at most a desperate, stray dog.

Qin Yun was a big shot and could afford to ignore a small character like Telephone Pole.

But the Warehouse Auction company couldn't allow the rules to be broken, and they even wanted to curry favor with Qin Yun, so they were not polite to Telephone Pole at all.

Telephone Pole could clearly feel the coldness from the muzzle against his forehead.

Seeing the Person in Charge's predatory gaze and realizing that he had become the one being bullied, just like the people his brother used to target.

He immediately snapped back to reality from his delusions.

Telephone Pole was so scared he was shaking all over, feeling a bit of wetness between his legs.

Filled with both fear and shame, he didn't even want the desert eagle in the Person in Charge's hand anymore; he clutched his suit and fled in a panic!

Seeing Telephone Pole's wretched state, everyone laughed very happily.

Qin Yun shook his head indifferently, took his leather bag from the car, and went to the auction Person in Charge to pay.

The Person in Charge was very respectful toward Qin Yun and didn't know how to handle Telephone Pole's disruptive behavior.

If he charged Qin Yun twenty thousand dollars, although it was reasonable, it felt a bit cold.

Great figures rarely appeared in this small town, and he had the intention of befriending Qin Yun.

He placed the money Qin Yun handed over on the table.

“May I ask who you are?”

The Person in Charge looked at Qin Yun's face up close, and the more he looked, the more familiar it became.

He thought of the Eastern Kid, who had been making waves in the Treasure Hunting Circle recently; that person also had a face from Xia Country.

There weren't many Treasure Hunters from Xia Country in the warehouse Treasure Hunting Circle, and he was starting to have suspicions.

“Qin Yun.”

Qin Yun felt it was a bit strange but calmly stated his name.

“Are you the Eastern Kid?”

Sensing an aura of a big shot from Qin Yun, the Person in Charge voiced his suspicion.

“If there isn't a second person with that name, then the person you're talking about is me.”

Qin Yun didn't think 'Eastern Kid' was such a remarkable title, so he admitted it generously.

“You—you are the Eastern Kid? The Eastern Kid who found Egyptian treasures and antique furniture in Borton City and on the East Coast?”

“Aren't you developing your career in a developed and wealthy place like the East Coast? Why would you come to a place like this?”

The Person in Charge didn't expect that this man was actually the quite famous Eastern Kid.

He inwardly cursed himself for being such a fool.

In the Treasure Hunting Circle, only the Eastern Kid, a person from Xia Country, had achieved such great success.

Previously, he had been influenced by the record of Qin Yun killing thugs, thinking Qin Yun was a big shot from the military.

Plus, since people from Xia Country looked more or less the same to him, he hadn't realized Qin Yun was the Eastern Kid.

Recalling it now, he looked at Qin Yun with a face full of disbelief.

The Person in Charge gesticulated excitedly, leaving Qin Yun quite speechless.

He had only made a bit of a name for himself in the Treasure Hunting Circle; was there a need for this man to be so excited?

“I am Mike, the Person in Charge of this warehouse company on the west side. It’s a pleasure to meet you.”

Mike said as he clapped his hands, calling the Staff Members over.

“Everyone, come over and take a look. This is the Eastern Kid, a veteran Treasure Hunter. In less than a month on the East Coast, he made at least five million in Warehouse Auctions.”

“This is a rare big shot. It is your honor to meet Qin Yun in this small town.”

Meeting Qin Yun here made Mike extremely excited.

Getting to know a big shot Treasure Hunter would be a great help to his career.

“Half a month, five million.”

Everyone found it hard to believe that someone could make that much money in Warehouse Auctions.

They knew Qin Yun was a big shot, but his ability to make money was simply too exaggerated.

Seeing that everyone didn't believe him, Mike grew anxious.

This group of people were truly ignorant country bumpkins.

“Jackson's Dance Costumes and manuscripts, the gold nugget, antique furniture, the antique Harley motorcycle, the Sword of the Xia Emperor... he found all of them within a month.”

Speaking of Qin Yun's achievements, Mike remembered every single one clearly and recited the prices to everyone as if he were counting his family jewels.

Only then did the crowd believe that Qin Yun was truly that powerful.

Relying solely on Warehouse Auctions, he had become a big shot they could only look up to.

Everyone looked at Qin Yun with eyes full of disbelief, as if they had witnessed a miracle!
