After the Fifth Grade Sun's Fire was bought by Yang Kai at a price of three million, the next two items that were worth no less than a Fifth Grade Open Heaven material and also fell into Yang Kai’s pocket.
The grand auction ended in a strange atmosphere. Whether it was the wandering cultivators in the hall or the shopkeepers in the private rooms, all of them felt like their horizons had been broadened.
They had never participated in such an auction before, and apart from the first few auction items, the rest had basically been bought by one person! And this person was actually an Emperor Realm master, the total cost of this auction was more than ten million!
All of them were secretly guessing which family’s disciple this little brat was from, how could he have so many Open Heaven Pills? One had to know that the amount of money these shopkeepers could mobilize was only a few million, ten million was already more than they could afford.
There were also some who recognized Yang Kai’s identity, but there were only a few. After all, Yang Kai had visited nineteen shops to collect debts and had met with nineteen shopkeepers from various forces, so there were bound to be some who came to attend the auction.
Inside the VIP room of Wind and Cloud House, Yang Kai and Old Bai sat across from each other, sipping tea while a large pile of things was piled up in front of them. Even so, there were still many maids coming in and putting down the things in their hands.
These were all things that the two of them had obtained during the auction. The Wild and Cloud Auction House followed the rules of first bidding and then paying the bill. Now that the auction had ended, it was naturally time to settle the bill.
The enchanting auctioneer stood in front of the two of them with a smile on her face. Every time an item was presented to them, she would smile and introduce it to Yang Kai, explaining how much money he had spent to win it.
Next to her was a fellow who looked like an accountant, who was holding an abacus and constantly accumulating the price.
As the maids went in and out, more things appeared in front of Yang Kai and Old Bai. Although Old Bai was drinking tea, he would occasionally glance over at Yang Kai, feeling somewhat guilty.
The main thing was that he had never done such a thing before, and it was in the Wind and Cloud Auction House, so he didn’t know how to clean up this mess.
After a long time, the account were finally settled and the auctioneer smiled at Yang Kai, “Sir, the total price of the items you bid for is 11.36 million.”
Turning her head to look at Old Bai, she said, “Also, Sir, the total price of your items is 930,000!”
Compared to Yang Kai, Old Bai didn’t bid much, just some random items from before. The main reason was that every time, Yang Kai bid too fast, he didn’t have many opportunities to bid.
“Pack them all up,” Yang Kai said without even lifting his head.
When the auctioneer heard this, she gestured to the side, and immediately, a shop assistant put everything into a Space Ring. The auctioneer took it and handed it over to Yang Kai.
Yang Kai accepted it without even looking at it. With a flick of his finger, a faint Space Law fluctuated and the ring disappeared.
Immediately, Yang Kai stood up and called out to Old Bai, “Let’s go.”
The smile on the auctioneer’s face froze as she quickly stepped in front of Yang Kai and politely asked, “Sir, have you forgotten something?”
Yang Kai looked around and raised his head, “I didn’t forget anything.”
The auctioneer forced a smile on her face and said, “You forgot to pay the bill!” Saying so, her face filled with bitterness.
“I don’t have any money!” Yang Kai looked at her sincerely, the corner of Old Bai’s mouth twitching slightly.
The auctioneer’s big eyes blinked several times before she suddenly covered her mouth and laughed lightly, “Sir really likes to joke.” Old Man Yu had asked him to check his financial ability before, if he didn’t have this kind of wealth, how could he allow him to continue bidding? If he said he didn’t have money now, who would believe him?
“I’m not joking!” Yang Kai looked at her indifferently, “Your Wind and Cloud Auction House owes us two brothers ten million Open Heaven Pills, so we’ll use your auction items as collateral. When you return that ten million Open Heaven Pills, I’ll give it to you.”
The auctioneer stared blankly at Yang Kai and asked hesitantly, “What does Sir mean?”
She was just an auctioneer of the Wind and Cloud Auction House and didn’t know what had happened before, so she was quite confused. When did the Wind and Cloud Auction House owe someone ten million?
“What do i mean? Your shopkeeper naturally knows, right, Shopkeeper Yun?” Yang Kai shouted towards the door.
Although he didn’t sense the aura of Yun Zhenhua, it was likely that Yun Zhenhua was outside at this time. After all, he and Old Bai had just been driven out of the auction house, but now they had somehow managed to sneak into the auction house and were bidding at a high price. As a shopkeeper, it was impossible for him not to know about this.
Since he knew, he would definitely show himself at this time.
With a creak, the door was pushed open. The one who entered was not Yun Zhenhua, but the old man who had examined Yang Kai’s space ring.
At this moment, Old Man Yu’s face was gloomy. With one hand behind his back and the other in front of his abdomen, he stared at Yang Kai and said, “Little friend, don’t make a mistake!”
He had only learned of Yang Kai and Old Bai’s identities after checking their funds. After all, it was quite difficult for the Emperor Realm cultivator to carry over a hundred million money with him, so he had secretly sent a sound transmission to Yun Zhenhua to inform him of this matter. When Yun Zhenhua came over to take a look, he found out that the two bidders were actually from the First Inn.
Moreover, these two had come to collect a debt!
Old Man Yu immediately knew that these two had come with ill intentions, but at that time, the auction had already reached the latter half of the auction, and they really did have the qualifications to bid, so it wasn’t appropriate for him to stop them. He could only wait for the auction to end before making any further plans. Seeing these two fellows refuse to pay, he couldn’t help feeling somewhat annoyed.
“It’s only right for us to collect your debts. Since your Wind and Cloud Auction House won’t give us any money, the two of us can only think of a way to earn some for ourselves,” Yang Kai smiled at Old Yu.
Old Man Yu coldly said, “No one has ever dared to act wildly in my Wind and Cloud Auction House, are you sure you want to do this?”
“I didn’t before, but now I do!” Yang Kai wasn’t afraid at all. Although Wind and Cloud Auction House had a strong backer, he also had the First Inn behind him. In terms of backing, who was afraid of who? Moreover, Wind and Cloud Auction House was in the wrong first, so he wasn’t afraid of anything.
“You have guts!” Old Man Yu coldly snorted, “It’s just that courage alone isn’t enough. Do you think you can escape?”
Yang Kai narrowed his eyes and asked, “Then what do you want? Do you want to detain us?”
Old Man Yu coldly snorted and waved his hand, “Search his body!” In his heart, he sneered coldly. Did these two inexperienced brats really think they could do whatever they wanted just because they were from the First Inn? First, he would take back the item from the auction and then settle the score with them.
As soon as Old Man Yu gave the order, the assistants standing on both sides immediately rushed forward.
Old Bai quickly put on a defensive stance, “Whoever dares come over, this old master will fight them to the death!”
Yang Kai lifted his hand and pressed down on Old Bai’s shoulder, “Let them search!”
Old Bai turned to look at him, with a puzzled look on his face. The two of them had spent more than a month asking for money, and not only did Yang Kai has a hundred or two million, even Old Bai is the same, but they haven't give it to the Proprietress.
Yang Kai refused to give it because the last time he went back to report the good news, he had been beaten up by the Proprietress with a feather duster. As for why Old Bai didn’t give it to the Proprietress, it was probably because he had never seen so much money and wanted to keep it for a while longer.
However, before coming here, Yang Kai had asked him to hand over all of his valuables to him, so Old Bai didn’t have a single Open Heaven Pill on him right now.
Old Bai wasn’t afraid of others searching for him, but he was afraid of them searching Yang Kai’s body.
However, since Yang Kai had said so, although Old Bai was puzzled, he also relaxed. The main reason was that he couldn’t defeat them. This was their territory, so forget about the surrounding workers, even Old Yu could easily crush them with a single finger, so resisting was meaningless.
The four assistants stepped forward, two of them searching Old Bai and two of them searching Yang Kai.
After a long time, the few four assistants found nothing and all turned to look at Old Man Yu, “Nothing.”
“Impossible!” Old Man Yu’s expression changed, he didn’t show any movements, directly arriving in front of Yang Kai, grabbing his shoulder with one hand and searching his body with the other.
How could there be nothing? Not to mention that Yang Kai had shown him a ring containing nearly two hundred million Open Heaven Pills, even the auction items just now had only been taken by him recently.
How could it have disappeared for no reason?
However, after searching for a while, he still couldn’t find anything. Not only that, but Old Man Yu even released his Divine Sense to carefully examine every corner of Yang Kai’s body. Not to mention a Space Ring, he couldn’t even find a single Open Heaven Pill, let alone a single auction item.
After thinking about it for a moment, he felt a faint fluctuation of the Space Laws outside the door before, similar to when he used the Universe Escape Law.
Feeling his heart skip a beat, Old Yu clenched his teeth and shouted, “Speak, where did you hide it!”
Old Man Yu’s cultivation was at the Fourth Order Open Heaven Stage, but in this moment of shock and anger, his strength was so great that even Yang Kai’s shoulder was cracking as if his bones had been crushed.
Yang Kai’s expression changed a little, but he held back and stared at him coldly, “Like I said, since you don't want to pay back the money you owe us. Us two brothers are just trying to find a way to earn some money. When you return the money, we’ll return it.”
“Bastard!” Old Man Yu flew into a rage. Although the prices of the auction items this time were generally quite high, it was still a failed auction for the Auction House. There was no other reason than the fact that this opportunity had been reserved by a single person. This would also affect the reputation of the Auction House. In the future, when people mentioned it, they would say that the Wind and Cloud Auction House’s organization was problematic, otherwise how could such a ridiculous situation occur?
Wind and Cloud Auction House had stood tall for so many years and its reputation was well known. Losing a bit of its reputation wasn’t a big deal, but now that it had lost its auction item, it was truly a joke.
Because of Old Man Yu’s anger, the aura of a Fourth Order Open Heaven Stage master filled the air, causing Yang Kai’s figure to suddenly shrink. Yang Kai felt as if he was being suppressed by the entire world. The gap between their cultivations was simply too great, and now that he was being grabbed by this man, he didn’t even have the strength to resist. If it weren’t for his strong will, he would have immediately knelt down.
