Chapter 499 - The grand Auction of Kuvosie (part-3) (1/2)

Ryuu swirled the wine in his glass as he spoke with a small smile on his face, ”There was a time when I hated everything related to alcohol I found it disgusting and now I drink like a thirsty man in a desert.”

Yamamoto simply chuckled as he spoke, ”My Prince I have yet to see you drink like that and wine for cultivators is different than that of mortals as it has a large number of medicinal properties compared to that of the mortal trash, and as for you drinking too much I do not think so as there are plenty others who outstrip your drinking by quite a bit.”

”Really?”

”Of course my Prince.”

A knock at the door drew their attention as Ryuu spoke, ”Enter.”

Yu Wu entered as she spoke with a small bow as she spoke, ”Boss the prisoners are ready to be punished.”

Ryuu sighed as he spoke, ”Please sister Yu Wu they are liars, thieves and all-round trash do not call them prisoners even calling them mongrel would be a great insult to canine kind, after all, you have already been briefed of their true nature and their list of crimes.”

Yu Wu's face hardened as she spoke with anger in her voice, ”Your right boss those sc.u.m are the very dregs of the society, the nature of their crimes are so heinous.”, her anger disappeared as she spoke again but her voice was filled with concern, ”But the way you have ordered their execution many would not like it and might protest.”

Ryuu gave a small snort as he replied back to her with a smirk, ”Let those narrow-minded idiots through a tantrum, it is beneath me to even think about them and if they dare to cause any problem then we will crush them after all we are Shangri-la.”

Yu Wu gave an uneasy smile as she spoke, ”Boss, I do not think it is wise to cause unnecessary strife and gain more enemies.”

”Normally I would also agree with you but for the time being I would agree with Prince, as he is correct in this matter that sometimes it is good to be made a spectacle so as to dissuade others from attempting the same in the near future.”

Not only that he could smell the excitement in the air, and the very same excitement that was choking him, and the reason for such was the items that were sold, items that were sensational yet nowhere near breathtaking as those that would be sold within a few minutes just after the public execution.

'Ugh, the stage would be ruined completely.'

”Welcome back everyone however before we begin I would once again invite our General Manager for a small spectacle before the beginning of the auction.”

As he spoke Ryuu once again walked in with a smile on his face, and as soon as he had garnered everyone's undivided attention he began to speak.

”Hello and once again a big welcome to you all, I know you all are a bit anxious for the big event to resume but before we begin I would like to borrow a few of your precious time.”

”A couple of weeks ago one of our suppliers for wine was attacked along with that the envoy from Shangri-la, the end result was that both the parties were killed, when we went to investigate we found a conspiracy.”

”A conspiracy, that involved bringing higher-ups of Shangri-la to the site of the incident, and then kidnapping and brainwashing them in order to loot our wares and then to poison our guests thereby destroying our reputation.”

As he spoke a hush silence descended before quite a few showed a look of alarm at the thought of being poisoned only to calm down at Ryuu's next words, ”Unfortunately they underestimated our might and were crushed, their plans fell apart while they themselves were captured.”

Ryuu took a breath as he continued to speak, ”Now, let me introduce you to the mongrels who decided to raise their hands against Shangri-la.”

Jacklin looked at the weird contraptions that were brought on to the platform as she spoke with a frown, ”What is that?”

”I do not know but from the menacing blade that is placed on the object I think it is meant for beheading someone.”

”You are right Joseph.”

Joseph looked towards Yujie as he spoke with a surprised look on his face, ”You recognize it, grandfather.”

Yujie nodded as he replied back while gently stroking his beard, ”Yes, I have seen it once a long time ago it is known as a guillotine and it is normally used by mortals to execute someone.”

Joseph winced as he spoke, ”This is going to be a cause some problems.”

Yujie looked at him with a scrutinizing gaze as he spoke, ”You are talking about the recent ideology that has popped up.”

Joseph scowled as he spoke, ”Yes, great grandfather the ideology that mortals are born to serve the Immortals such a ridiculous idea, those that preach it have they forgotten that they were mortals once.”

Yujie gave a small hum as he sipped from his cup of tea as he spoke with a sigh, ”You are right child, you are quite right but we Immortals at the end of the day are powerful and superior when compared to a mortal in every way which caused the birth of this ridiculous idea, but they forgot without the mortals supporting us we would not have most of these things that we see around us.”

Joseph sighed as he spoke, ”True but unfortunately, not everyone is as wise and broadminded as you are.”

The next scene startled them as Yujie spat out his tea as he spoke with disbelief in his voice, ”Is that idiot looking for trouble what is he thinking bringing mortals to kill an Immortal, those believers in that stupid notion would cause a riot.”

Meanwhile, the executioner stepped on the platform without a care in the world and the reason for it was the hood that Ryuu had made him wear, the hood that not only made it difficult for others to discern the person's identity but also to make sure that the person would not be able to see the audience in front of him.
