Chapter 260: The auction house fiasco -III (1/2)
Sam was stunned. Because of the line up at the entrance.
Two people are in a staredown. One of them is a person Sam is familiar with. He is the Marshall who escorted Sam to the private room.
Behind him, Nayana stood with her arms crossed and face filled with frustration.
On the other side, there is another middle-aged man, behind whom there is a young man whose face was filled with anger and fury.
He didn't know both of them at all but he recognized that all the guests from the auction are there watching the scene.
”Minister Brian, you better tell your son to behave, or next time he wouldn't escape scot-free.”
Marshall said in a cold tone.
”Scot free? Marshall, are you threatening me that you would make a move on my son or are you saying that your daughter Nayana is going to deal with him?” The other middle-aged man opposite Marshall replied.
”Do you think that we have so much free time like you? My daughter is so busy with the auction house and the Trading chamber, why would she go out of my way to deal with your flower boy?
In fact, if she didn't interfere today, your precious son would have been killed and trust that death wouldn't be pleasant at all. And here you are being ungrateful for our good deed and even smearing our name.”
Marshall said in a stern yet proud voice. Sam was a bit surprised. He didn't expect Nayana who is only a Great realm cultivator be in such a high position, but this also reinforced his opinion of Arian. Here, cultivation is only a symbol of strength, not a factor that decides everything and Nayana being in charge of trading of auctions shows that she is more capable in this area.
”Who are you calling a flower boy? Marshall, you better think before you speak? You are talking about the nephew of the Emperor himself. What are you implying by calling the relatives of the emperor a flower boy?”
Sam almost puked at this. Can someone be so shameless?
From that middle-aged man���s words, he can get that this boy is a relative to the emperor but from what Marshall said, he is this man's son.
Did he become, your son or nephew of the emperor first? How can someone be this shameless?
”If the Emperor knew this, he would have already been skinned alive right in the middle of the streets.”
Marshall sneered and then only he noticed that Sam is here. His expression changed immediately and he greeted with a smile.
After some pleasantries, Sam wanted to leave the place. He wanted to deal with the new elemental poisons he got. He needs to upgrade panthers so their potential would increase. As for this conflict, he is not that interested.
But he realized that is a pipe dream. Because the middle-aged man's main target is Sam and then only Sam realized who that young man is. He is the guy who got into a bidding war with Watt and now his father is here.
”Hey you, do you think you can leave just like that? How dare you humiliate my son? Just because you have some wealth do you think you can do anything? My son can buy whatever he wants and I can pay for him. So, what is it that you are putting him on the spot?
Do you think you can do whatever you want just because you are rich? I am telling you, you better handover whatever you bought. Otherwise, you would be facing my wrath.”
Sam didn't even know how to react, this guy is clearly trying to overwhelm Sam with his speech, without giving him a chance to react at all. Typical shameless politician.
Sam just stood there and let the man finish his part and said.
”So, what do you want to do now?”
”You handover the items and apologize.”
”Not going to happen. Anything else?”
Sam just reacted as straight forward as he can. Killing the conversation. Minister didn't know how to react, he has kept a lot of words ready to reply for whatever Sam had to say.
Isn't it normal that a person would try to argue if someone was unreasonable to them? Why is this guy acting like it is nobody's business? This is the only thought in his mind.
”If there is nothing else, I am leaving.”
Sam turned to leave and obviously, he was stopped.
”You, do you even know who I am, do you know who my son is? We are the relatives of the emperor, disrespecting us is the same as disrespecting the emperor.”
Sam raised an eyebrow and said.
”Then, are you implying that what your son did, is emperor's will as well?”
Minister thought for a second and said.
”Yes.”
He didn't know he just stepped in the trap. He didn't think that Sam is someone important and he didn't even bother to know who he is, he has been enjoying everything going his way in the imperial capital, so he didn't care what the other guy thinks.
”Then, I would deal this with the emperor himself.” As Sam said these words, Marshall's face turned serious.
