90 Jade Sea Coral (1/2)
”To whom do those two boxes belong to?” Jun Mo Xie asked, pointing at the boxes which the two suspicious groups of people had disappeared into.
”Brother, are you alright? Is your head really muddled?” Tang Yuan stared at him in shocked and quickly explained, ”Those two boxes belong to the Second and Third Prince of the Empire! All the three Royal Princes have their boxes placed together, side by side. How can you not know about this?”
”This is just my first visit here, what are you talking about?” Jun Mo Xie rolled his eyes, clearly annoyed.
Tang Yuan thought for a moment and grinned sheepishly. ”Indeed, I have never seen Jun Mo Xie at the Magnificent Jewel Hall in all my past visits, and considering that he did me some favors recently, I shouldn’t have said those words to him.” Tang Yuan gave his own plump cheek a quick slap and said, ”I’m the muddle-headed one!”
Jun Mo Xie stared at him. Knowing that Tang Yuan was just a bootlicker, Jun Mo Xie simply ignored him. He was contemplating what Tang Yuan just said. ”Those people who just went into the princes’ boxes were certainly emitting strong killing intent! This…this is really weird!”
”Could these men be related to the assassination attempt a few days ago?”
”If it is really true, then I must settle this debt once and for all. After all, I suffered quite badly in the hands of those fiends and was not only stabbed and kicked mercilessly but was also left on the brink of death. I didn't even have the chance to take my revenge on them. As a man of dignity, I cannot afford such humiliation…However, which is the prince who plotted the assassination attempt? It would not be ideal if I put the blame on the wrong person. But nevertheless, even if I were to accuse the wrong the person, it does not matter much as they are brothers anyway.”
”Mo Xie, Li Feng and Meng Hai Zhou have just entered the Meng Family’s box beside ours.” Tang Yuan whispered bitterly, ”Scoundrels! I must teach them a lesson one day!”
Ever since these unscrupulous men set up the plot that almost caused Tang Yuan to lose his fiance in a bet, he had developed a strong hatred against them. But since there were too many things going on in the Capital lately, Tang Yuan’s grandfather had warned everyone not to provoke anyone unnecessarily, especially his precious grandson Tang Yuan, who was known to be a troublemaker.
”Oh? In the adjacent box? That is pretty close to us...” Jun Mo Xie smiled, his eyes twinkling playfully. ”Fatty Tang, if you can agree to a condition, I can help you take revenge on these scoundrels by teaching them a lesson! What do you think?”
”We are brothers. As long as you are willing to help me out, I will agree to any condition of yours!” Tang Yuan replied eagerly.
”There are a few items that I must certainly obtain at the auction today. But I do not want others to know that I am the one buying them.” Jun Mo Xie said directly, ”I will provide the money, but I need you to outbid others and get the items. As long as everything goes smoothly, I’ll make sure those scoundrels wish that they were dead instead!”
”What are you talking about?” Tang Yuan snorted. ”Whatever you need, I’ll buy for you. We two are brothers, aren’t we? There no need for you to be so formal! This is an insult to our relationship!”
”This is different, even true brothers have to settle this clearly. I don’t take advantage of others, but I also won’t allow others to take advantage of me!” Jun Mo Xie argued. And indeed, these words encompassed the very fundamental principles that he lived on in his past and current lives.
”Okay, okay, whatever suits you! As long as you teach these scoundrels a good lesson, I will follow whatever you say!”
Jun Mo Xie smiled before closing his eyes to concentrate on releasing his spiritual awareness. His targets were obviously the guests in the adjacent box and the boxes belonging to the two princes. Using the Art of Unlocking Heaven’s Fortune, his spiritual awareness could detect even the slightest anomalies in his surroundings. Although he was not using his eyes, he could sense and observe more effectively using his spiritual awareness as nothing could escape its range.
All of a sudden, the originally quiet hall became even quieter. The curtains on the stage slowly drew open to reveal a brightly colored podium, on which sat a complete amethyst gemstone glowing brilliantly in the light. The gemstone was mosaicked with hundreds and thousands of gemstones, each glittering brightly under the light in the hall. At this moment, the guests all felt as though they had entered a magical dreamland, their world filled with countless radiant stars. The sheer beauty was beyond description.
Standing behind the podium was a man dressed in purple. The auctioneer was flanked by two stunning women who each held a tray. Wearing silver colored fitting dresses, the two women looked so charming and gorgeous that any men present, regardless of how strong-willed they were, would have been mesmerized by them instantly. Under the bright lights of the stage and coupled with their magnificent innate beauty, the duo looked more like goddesses descended from the heavens to grace everyone at this grand event!
After a simple welcome speech, the auctioneer went straight into the main focus of the event. Through his years of experience at the auction house, he knew that no one was interested in the welcome speech. Instead of beating around the bush, why not strike the hammer and promptly begin the auction which everyone was eagerly anticipating?
