The lights in the auction suddenly lit up. There was an influx of people in the auction, and all them filled into the hall. These people carried a scary aura with them. Some of them were hostile, and some of them were malicious. Some looked like wolves wrapped in sheep fur, and some looked extremely talented. There were Western faces and also Asian faces. Shen Qianshu’s heart was all tangled up, and she came to a sudden realization. She widened her eyes in fear and suddenly grabbed onto Jack’s hand. It was a subconscious move, and her nails almost pierced through Jack’s skin.
Jack gave her a look. The thick layer of foundation on her skin could not even hide the fear beneath her eyes.
This woman is really clever! She already guessed it!
Tong Hua guessed it earlier than Shen Qianshu. He sat down with a solemn face and stared blankly at Jonah’s face. He had to remember this face. That way, before he died, he would surely think of a way to kill Jonah first. This was really a sickening face!
Among them, a lanky man smiled happily and sat in front. He was Asian, and the few men surrounding him all appeared to be mercenaries at first glance. Moreover… they looked really familiar! Shen Qianshu was shocked to the core, and she grabbed onto Jack even harder.
It is them!
Those in the ore mountain!
They were the ones who opened fire! They were the ones who kidnapped Master!
Shen Qianshu went from being fearful and flustered to being calm. She realized that she had hurt Jack and hurriedly released her hand. Just as she was about to speak, Jack shook his head, signaling to her that it was fine. Shen Qianshu heaved a sigh of relief.
This group of people and the tycoons in the auction were worlds apart in terms of both their disposition and charisma.
The lanky man turned back to look at Shen Qianshu, Tong Hua, and Jack. He narrowed his eyes and turned back again. Shen Qianshu’s heart skipped a beat. From the brief glimpse in the ore mountain, she was unsure whether the lanky man would recognize them.
If he did, the consequences would be dire.
But today, she was dressed as a man while Tong Hua was dressed a woman. Tong Hua’s hairstyle almost covered more than half of his face, and he was even wearing a hat. Let alone the mercenaries, even Shen Qianshu almost could not recognize him. Quickly, the group of people diverted their gaze away from them.
“Today really is a day to return grudges and seek revenge!” A man beside the lanky man laughed out loud. “The arrogant Ye Ling being placed on the auction table like an item waiting to be sold. This is really… satisfying!”
The man was speaking in French. It was as if Shen Qianshu’s mind was pierced by an arrow. Her thoughts were proven right.
Really!
It’s Master!
Shen Qianshu’s heart squeezed in pain, and tears almost fell out of her eyes. How can they? How dare they? If Master was auctioned like an item, it would too much of an insult to him.
These people were all from the underworld.
There were terrorists, drug lords, and even international gang members. Jack shivered in fear. This group of people really had nothing to fear.
Jonah was fearful too. Doing the impossible was not a fun thing at all. However, he hated Ye Ling so much that he had long looked for a chance to kill him. However, he did not dare to offend him directly. Thus, he thought of an evil plan, finding a scapegoat!
“Today, we are going to auction a person. Each and every tycoon, do not be afraid. The ones who came to the auction today are all Ye Ling’s enemies. Even though they hate each other, they will not go to war. The item we are auctioning is… Ye Ling! You can leave, or you can stay to watch an exciting show. This is an underworld’s grand banquet. Being able to witness it in your lifetime is counted as a blessing!”
“Now, enough with the nonsense. Let’s start!”
