Chapter 628: My Time Is Very Precious
The truth was that this sort of thing was no big deal to the auction house. If it happened, then they would only have to teach the perpetrator a good lesson then kick them out. The Golem Square was quite powerful, so they weren’t afraid of anyone.
“Boom!” Li Qiye didn’t move at all while the two guards were blown away. With a series of bangs, the two guards shot through several large walls of the auction house before finally reaching the street.
This commotion caused an uproar in the auction room as everyone turned around; some were even startled, and one person shouted: “What is going on?”
The finale of the first half was suddenly stopped. The auctioneer was especially shocked to see such a situation.
At this location, Lie Jie also saw Li Qiye, so he sneered: “So it is that ignorant and suicidal human.”
Dozens of experts from the auction house rushed over to surround Li Qiye’s group of three. Bai Weng and s.h.i.+ Hao were frightened pale and had painful expressions. This was going to be bad.
At this moment, a person who appeared to be the manager walked out with a cold expression full of murderous intent.
The auction was now paused, and many people were looking at Li Qiye. Lie Jie then used this opportunity to fan the flames: “Sovereign Hu, teach this blind boy a lesson! Break his limbs and hang him outside the city walls so that he won’t ever dare to think that the Golem Square is a place for him to show off!”
It was no wonder that Lie Jie hated Li Qiye. He was originally one of the chosen candidates to partic.i.p.ate in the Alchemy Conference for the Giant Bamboo Country. Who would have thought that last night, news came that he was temporarily rejected? The Lie Clan asked around and heard some rumors. The problem was because of Li Qiye, so Lie Jie immediately went to cause trouble for him early in the morning.
Lie Jie was happy to see Li Qiye not knowing any better and causing trouble in the Golem Square. This was called ignoring the accepting heavens and barging into the unwelcoming h.e.l.l!
Manager Hu of the Golem Square stepped in front of Li Qiye. He was called Sovereign Hu because he was a Heavenly Sovereign. An auction house with a manager at this level was quite incredible, and its might was apparent.
Manager Hu spoke coldly: “Friend, if you want to do business, then we very much welcome you. However, if you want to cause trouble, I’m afraid you came to the wrong place.”
Li Qiye relaxedly said: “You are right, I came for business, but those items are not worthy of my consideration so I wanted to go upstairs for a look. However, it seems that you guys don’t want to do business, so if you’ll excuse me, I’m not a person who holds back.”
Li Qiye’s proud att.i.tude caused the auction partic.i.p.ants to chatter with each other in a low voice. They wondered where this human came from to act so boisterously in the Golem Square.
Lie Jie sneered and said: “Hahaha, a no-name junior like you still wants to partic.i.p.ate in the second half? Give up on this thought, that place isn’t meant for poor brats like you. Fool! Daring to cause trouble in the Golem Square? You are tired of living!”
He didn’t forget to incite trouble so that the square would teach Li Qiye a good lesson.
Manager Hu’s eyes sharpened with killing intent as he said: “Friend, are you purposely causing trouble?”
Li Qiye was too lazy to argue with the manager so he threw out a treasure box and nonchalantly said: “Don’t waste my time, tell your superior to come out. The second half is about to start.”
Manager Hu caught the box and opened it for a look, then he immediately closed it. Aghast, he held it carefully with both hands and immediately ordered someone standing next to him: “Quick, go invite the ancestor!”
Such a sudden development astounded everyone. It all happened too quickly because just a second ago, Manager Hu still wanted to teach Li Qiye a lesson.
In a short amount of time, an old man with pure white hair approached. His blood energy was hidden, but him merely standing there gave off the feeling of a mountain's immensity.
Manager Hu quickly gave the old man the box with a serious expression and also whispered in the old man’s ear.
After hearing what the manager said, the old man opened the box and was completely shocked. He also quickly closed it.
He bowed his head towards Li Qiye and said: “Our Golem Square’s people have eyes but can’t see Mt. Tai. This old man is apologizing for any offense that Young n.o.ble might have received. Your arrival at the Golem Square is our honor and allows the square to become much more radiant.”
This sudden change left both the buyers and the others in the room stunned, especially those who knew this old man beforehand, they all had to take deep breaths. This old man had a great background and had been renowned since several years ago. With his protection, no one had ever dared to come and mess with the Golem Square.
But now, his respectful att.i.tude towards Li Qiye was simply unbelievable. People were curious and wondered what was inside the box.
Bai Weng and s.h.i.+ Hao were surprised as well. Just what could be inside the box to cause the square to change its att.i.tude by this much?
Li Qiye said slowly: “Okay, no more nonsense. I came to pick up a couple of things and heard that your auctions have decent items in the second half. Now begin, don't waste everyone’s time.”
“Of course.” The old man quickly replied then asked Manager Hu: “Manager Hu, how is the first half of the auction?”
Manager Hu answered: “Right now, we are auctioning the featured item, the cauldron. It had just begun.”
The auctioneer added: “The current highest bidder is the Young n.o.ble from the Lie Clan with 16,000 Heavenly Sovereign Refined Jades.”
Li Qiye glanced at Lie Jie then told the auctioneer: “I want this cauldron.”
There was already a feud between the two, so after hearing Li Qiye, Lie Jie’s expression sank as he coldly said: “Right now, I am the highest bidder. Since it is an auction, you should follow its rules. Don’t tell me you want to bypa.s.s the rules and buy it at a cheap price?”
