Chapter 501 - The Grand Auction of Kuvosie (part-5) (1/2)
A smiling Ryuu glided into the room with barely concealed giddiness as he spoke, ”Well well what do we have here a bunch of honorless mongrels who tried to steal from us with one of them trying to murder the talented employee of Shangri-la, so let us see who are these great people hiding behind the mask and cowl.”
”You wouldn't dare, my mask is full of poison if you touch it you would die.”
Ryuu's smile widens as he spoke, ”Are you a cultivator or not? Why would I need to touch it by my hands?”
With that, he waved his hand as the two thieves faced the audience while their mask was removed for the world to see, as many gasps rang through the crowd.
Ryuu tilted his head as he spoke, ”I am sorry since I am new to this place can someone tell me about our esteemed pair of thieves' identity.”
”They are Ji Lan and Han Yu, the former is the Elder who deals with the affair of Core Area Disciples of the Myriad Immortal Sects while the latter is the Elder who deals with the law and order of the same sect.”
Ryuu looked at the speaker, who was a middle-aged looking person, as Ryuu cupped his fist as he spoke, ”Thank you fellow Daoist.”
He then turned towards the two thieves as he spoke with a snarl, ”Disgraceful simply disgraceful, two people who are given the most honorable duty to guide young minds and teach them to be better beings are petty thieves such disgraceful.”
”Release us or else you will be making be making enemies you could not perceive to overcome.”
As one of them shouted out Ryuu could only sigh as he spoke, ”Because of cultivators like you the next generations are becoming trash how could someone an educator be like you, and how could your sect hand over such important positions to thieving trash like you.”
”Shut it, you are new comer and you do not have the authority to judge us, as such release immediately.”
”Yeah release the elders of our sect, our patriarch will not tolerate such insult on our great sect.”
Ryuu narrowed his eyes as he looked at the bald speaker as he spoke, ”So your patriarch sent you here.”
The person puffed his c.h.e.s.t as he spoke, ”Yes he did.”
”I see so you patriarch sent you here to destroy our reputation, steal from us, and murder my employee, is that right?”
The person was stunned as he quickly stammered back, ”N-no I…”
”Enough, I had enough with the lots of you, I invited you all like a good host, I arranged everything so that you all will be comfortable enough yet you dare to cause trouble I have enough with you, security escort that man out, I do not need people from some thieving sect to cause trouble for civilized and gentle cultivators.”
As the security began to move towards the person in the audience a familiar voice came to Ryuu's ears.
”Fellow Daoist please one of those thieves is a member of our clan, would you please hand him over so that he can face justice for dragging our clan's name in the mud.”
As the person spoke Ryuu caught a small smile appear on Ji Lan's face which disappeared as fast as it had arrived, 'I see so his clan is trying to rescue him'
As such with a benevolent smile on his face Ryuu spoke, ”Of course, I would hand him over to you after we have thoroughly grilled him for information after all such a blatant disregard of security.”
”Fellow Daoist please give us some face.”
Ryuu gave him a small smile as he spoke, ”Fellow Daoist your fellow clan member has commited a heinous crime against us and the normal procedure is having him castrated and binding his dantian and then sending him to work in some remote mine where he would remain until the day he dies, but I am giving you some face by allowing you to have the filthy thief back after we grill him for information.”
A gasp of shock ran through the audience as Han Yu began to beg for mercy only for another familiar voice to interrupt him, ”How dare you! You will apologize and release our uncle post haste or the JI clan will flatten your little hut and drive you o… mppphhh”, a brief struggle was heard before the person's voice came from the booth.
