Chapter 286 The Auction (1/2)

”Why should I be afraid? Are you planning to eat me alive after this?” Zachary replied with a mocking sneer.

”You bastard...” Edward was getting even more annoyed by the minute. However, even he had the brain that told them they were by no match for Zachary, so he didn't dare to make any rash action.

”What are you doing?” A harsh voice came over and broke the tense suspense.

Edward turned towards the direction where the voice originated from and saw a beautiful woman, who looked quite impressive just from her physical qualities.

”Po- Polly...” The moment the two made eye contact, Edward put on a totally different expression and ultimately decided to change the subject. ”Polly, long time no see. You should remember me. We met once at the birthday party of Xiao Clan's leader.”

Polly took a good look at Edward, and then glanced at the other disciples of the Xiao Clan who had circled Zachary. She guessed what had happened prior to her arrival and asked Zachary, ”Are you okay?”

”You should ask them. If you came a second later, they might have gotten injured,” Zachary said nonchalantly, a playful smirk dancing on his lips.

When Polly heard that, she tried to hide the chuckle that twinkled even in her eyes and turned to look at the Xiao Clan disciples. ”Why are you still here? You have chosen the wrong person to bully. Do you think you have the right to bully anyone just because you're from the Xiao Clan? I won't let you off the next time if I see you bullying people again.”

As Polly scolded him, Edward didn't dare to say anything. He was rendered speechless before her. He cast a glare at Zachary, and left with along with the other disciples of his clan.

”Thank you very much for your help.” Zachary nodded in gratitude to her.

”You don't need to thank me. Even without me, they wouldn't have done anything to you. Edward is just taking advantage of his relationship with the Xiao Clan to bully other freshmen. Many disciples have been bullied by him, but this time he really is blind. How dare he mess with you! But you'd better be off careful. It's not easy to deal with the Xiao Clan. You can just ignore them the next time they bother you,” Polly reminded gently.
