Chapter 444: If I Choose to be Ruthless, I would Target at Myself



"To the both of you, could you please maintain your dignity for the sake of the Tian Liu Chamber of Commerce?" The lady in court dress looked at the old man and Xu Que.

The old man would definitely show his due respect to the Chamber of Commerce. What she was worried about was Xu Que, whose behavior was always outrageous.

Xu Que smiled slightly. "I, Wang Sicong, don’t lose face easily. However, this is something insignificant, so I will show you a respect and will not punish this old thing... for the moment!"

The corners of everyone’s mouths twitched immediately.

As a cultivator of only level 10 of the Original Infant Stage, he had dared to say that he would punish an expert at level 6 of the Infant Transformation Stage.

If these words had been spoken by anyone else, the speaker would definitely have been treated as a mockery.

However, the speaker was Xu Que. For the audience, his words were fearsome and even persuasive.

After all, he was a notorious guy. Xu Que had even been able to eliminate the Third Duke, let alone this old man...

But the old man was not impressed by Xu Que’s words. His face was quite gloomy. With a wry smile on his mouth, he regarded Xu Que like someone who was no longer relevant. Therefore, he just ignored Xu Que’s words.

...

"If that is so, please accept my appreciation!" At that moment, the lady in the court dress smiled a bit and nodded at Xu Que to show her gratitude.

After that, she waved her slender hand and said to the audience, "The second item in today’s grand finale is a mysterious copper sheet, which was also forged by Her Royal Highness the Water Empress. A secret art has been engraved in this copper sheet. However, the secret art, which was damaged slightly, is difficult to learn and cultivate. But the most precious aspect of this copper sheet is the fact that it is made of the Nine Heavens Star Meteorite!"

After finishing speaking, she opened the jade box and a palm-sized copper sheet entered everyone’s view.

Surrounded by a halo of pale yellow, the copper sheet was blue-green all over. Thickly-dotted runes were visible on the surface of the copper sheet. However, most of the runes had been eroded over the long years, and were now beyond recognition.

"What? Is it real Nine Heavens Star Meteorite?"

However, all the audiences were surprised by the material of the copper sheet.

The Nine Heavens Star Meteorite, as the name suggested, was meteoric iron!

This was therefore a copper sheet from the Nine Heavens. Its material was very precious, and was mainly used to forge magical artifacts that were eight-star or higher.

All at once, many people were tempted by it. They lay their eyes on the lady in the court dress, waiting for the base price of this copper sheet to be announced.

Some of the audiences had delivered message to the big shots in their families to ask whether they should participate in the auction of this item.

After all, the material of this item was so precious that it was even rarer than the Great Clarity Green Water Pill. Also, demand for this material was higher than that for the Great Clarity Green Water Pill.

"According to our evaluation, the base price of this mysterious copper sheet is..."

However, when the lady in the court dress had just begun to introduce the cooper sheet and state its base price, Xu Que shouted out suddenly, "I, Wang Sicong, make a bid of fifty million Spirit Stones!"

His voice was clear and loud.

The rest of the audience were dumbfounded!

Many people who had been about to state their prices closed their mouths immediately after hearing Xu Que’s bid.

Fifty million Spirit Stones was a reasonable price. There was still space to increase the price.

However, the price had been stated by Xu Que. No one else would dare to participate in the bidding!

The rest of the audience felt so depressed that they even wanted to spit blood!

We really don’t want to compete for the auction item with him!

Leaving aside the question of whether we can even win the item, even if we do win the item, what would we do if he led his troops up to search our houses and confiscate our property? The Third Duke enjoyed this ’treatment’; but we really don’t have the guts for that.

For a moment, everyone was frowning. They were irresolute as to whether they should keep bidding for the copper sheet.

This copper sheet was tempting... however, Xu Que’s notorious reputation was too dreadful for them.

The old man also kept quiet. It seemed that he would let Xu Que win this bid, so that he would be able to rob Xu Que of this item as well as the Great Clarity Green Water Pill later.

The lady in the court dress was also surprised slightly. Then she furrowed her brows.

This was the last thing the Tian Liu Chamber of Commerce wanted to see. Once one person’s fame and dominance became overwhelming, the impartiality of the auction was endangered.

Also, this would influence the final hammer price, which could reduce the commission received by the Chamber of Commerce.

Dong!

But at that moment, another bell tinkled.

Everyone was surprised. Their eyes drifted to the second floor to find out who was awesome enough to compete with someone as ruthless as Xu Que!

However, the next moment, everyone was stunned again.

The one who had knocked the brass bell was Xu Que himself!

"What...what does he mean?"

"He has stated a price! Why did he knock the bell again?"

"Could it be that he forgot he had knocked the bell already? But this is almost impossible!"

Everyone was confused. Even the people of the Tian Liu Chamber of Commerce were looking at Xu Que with puzzlement.

Xu Que smiled slightly and shouted, "I, Ma Yun of the Exploding Heavens Faction, make a bid of sixty million!"

"Ah?"

People immediately became even more confused.

Ma Yun of the Exploding Heavens Faction?

Aren’t you Wang Sicong? How did you become Ma Yun?

The lady in the court dress was also stunned. She asked in astonishment, "Lord Wang, what...do you mean?"

Xu Que smiled. "I have no choice. I was entrusted by Ma Yun of our Exploding Heavens Faction to state a price for him!"

The rest of the audience instantly became speechless.

You were entrusted by Ma Yun of the Exploding Heavens Faction to state a price, right? You are being way too playful here!

Dong!

At that moment, suddenly Xu Que knocked at the bell again and shouted, "I, Hua Wuque of the Exploding Heavens Faction, make a bid of seventy million!"

"What?" Again, the rest of the audience was stunned.

How did this Hua Wuque come forth?

Shrugging his shoulders, Xu Que said reluctantly, "Again, I was entrusted by Hua Wuque of our faction to state a price. The Exploding Heavens Faction has a lot of members."

Everyone was silent.

Dong!

Xu Que knocked at the bell again.

"I, Ye Liangchen of the Exploding Heavens Faction, make a bid of eighty million!"

Dong!

"I, the Divine Eagle Master Yang Guo of the Exploding Heavens Faction, make a bid of one hundred million!"

Dong!

"Damn! I, Dugu Qiubai of the Exploding Heavens Faction, make a bid of two hundred million!"

Dong!

"Shit! I, Linghu Chong of the Exploding Heavens Faction, make a bid of three hundred million!"

...

The auction site was in silence. Only Xu Que kept knocking at the brass bell and performing his multiple role-play.

Everyone else in the audience was speechless. All they could do was continue to look at Xu Que in puzzlement.

"This guy is definitely insane!"

"He is horrible!"

"He is so crazy that he is even competing with himself! Who would dare to offend a lunatic like him?"

"He is continuously raising the price from fifty million to five hundred million! This is unprecedented!"

"I quit!"

"Me too!"

"We are asking for trouble by competing with him!"

...

No one dared to state a price again.

Finally, Xu Que won the Water Empress’s mysterious copper sheet at the price of five hundred million.

The people of the Tian Liu Chamber of Commerce were speechless about the result. The final hammer price, which had gone far beyond their expectations, had been stated by one person all the way from the beginning to the end of the item’s auction.

It was the first time that they had encountered a circumstance like this. Therefore, they had to accept the result in puzzlement.

The lady in the court dress was also dumbfounded for a while before coming to her own senses. Then she dropped the hammer and announced the auction result.

After that, she said again, "Now, the most exciting part of our grand finale! The last item of today is..."

Dong!

She had hardly finished her words when Xu Que knocked the brass bell again.

"I, Wang Jianlin of the Exploding Heavens Faction, make a bid of one billion. It’s just one billion, which is not very high!"

...

Once again, the rest of the audience felt so depressed that they wanted to spit blood.

Holy shit! Did you lose your mind?

One billion? Just one billion? Not high?

Okay, you can do whatever you want because you are rich! It’s your own business to state the price of one billion. But can’t you state a price after figuring out what the auction item is first?

The purpose of stating your price now is to prevent us from even knowing the name of the last item in today’s grand finale, right?
