Chapter 161: Compassion (2/2)
“You initially thought that you were smart to put him first, but now you know you are nothing but a fool.” said Lin Feng when he heard that the manager wasn’t sincere in his apology. He then added: “Get him out of here.”
“Didn’t you hear him? Get lost!” said the old man. The manager was so furious that his cheeks were burning. He evilly glanced at Lin Feng. Immediately after, he turned around and left. How he looked at the moment was a huge contrast in comparison to a moment ago when he had seemed so majestic.
When the old man saw that the manager was leaving, he smiled at Lin Feng with a regretful expression and said: “Are you satisfied with how things were solved?”
Lin Feng looked at the old man and pointed at the beautiful woman in front of him and said: “That will take it out on her because of me. If I ask you to give her to me, will you refuse?”
“Your intentions are good, of course you can have her.” said the old man while looking at the beautiful woman. She was lucky to have met Lin Feng. Besides, giving her to Lin Feng wasn’t a problem for the auction market as they had plenty of servants to replace her.
Lin Feng slightly nodded looking satisfied. He then said: “I hope that every distinguished guest will be treated the same from now on and not be more degenerates who will cause trouble.”
The noble young man’s pupils shrank and he looked at Lin Feng in a very aggressive way. Lin Feng had humiliated him many times, calling him a dog and a degenerate.
When the old man heard Lin Feng, he understood what he really meant. He then immediately turned to the young man and said: “Young master Meng, this is the auction market and I hope that you do not plan on making us lose face. We will not accept such a disturbance from you again in the future. What you do outside is your business, but when inside the auction market, you best behave.”
The young man looked at Lin Feng in a particularly evil way and thought that after the auction, he would be able to deal with Lin Feng. He would definitely kill Lin Feng after the auction, this was not finished.
The old man took the silence as an understanding to his warning.
“Thank you, young master Meng, for understanding.” said the old man indifferently. He then immediately added: “I hope that everybody else will be wise enough to respect our rules. Now, I have spoken enough, let the auctions continue.”
When he finished talking, the old man glanced at Lin Feng one last time and his silhouette flashed as he left.
Lin Feng looked at the vanishing silhouette while smiling happily in his heart. The old man had made things extremely clear, if the young man wanted to fight against Lin Feng outside of the auction then he could, but as long as they were inside he would be under the old man’s protection. Lin Feng had made the young master furious but as they were still inside the auction, he had no choice but to calm down and let Lin Feng sit in peace.
However the moment that Lin Feng left that old man’s protection, the young master would have his revenge.
“Thank you, kind Sir.” said the beautiful woman while looking at Lin Feng. The expression in her eyes looked infinitely grateful. She clearly understood that Lin Feng had felt compassion for her which is why he had asked the old man to become her new master. She understood that Lin Feng knew that her situation would be miserable in the future.
Lin Feng was saving her from an extremely tragic destiny.
“I just did what any good person should do, no need to thank me.” said Lin Feng.
But the beautiful woman shook her head showing that she disagreed with him. In her eyes the young man wearing the silver mask was so mysterious!
He looked insolent and arrogant but actually beneath his mask he was hiding many emotions. Looking very strong, he had attracted everybody’s attention by smashing that table which had purposely gained the attention of the old man to their current situation.
The beautiful woman was endlessly grateful to Lin Feng. In spite of everything else, Lin Feng had protected her and had humiliated the noble young man because of her. He had also humiliated the manager of the auction because of her. If Lin Feng hadn’t taken care of her, she would have become the property of the young man and her death would have been certain.
Before she used to think that she was just a servant in the auction market; she was just a servant who was only slightly above a slave. If she hadn’t been beautiful and kind, then she would have probably been forced into slavery. She had never been respected by anyone, her dignity never mattered to anyone.
But Lin Feng had protected both her life and her dignity. He had saved her from trouble and even thought about her well being. She would be loyal and devoted to Lin Feng ever since the moment she became his.
Lin Feng hadn’t thought about any of this. Lin Feng had only done this because the mask could not hide the compassion which was within his heart.
That woman had been humiliated by the young man because of Lin Feng. Lin Feng couldn’t stand watching such a beautiful woman get defiled. He could not stand by and watch someone innocent suffer without doing something, such actions were not within his heart.
