"Huo Yongming?! I don't know him. "
Hearing this, Xia Ping looked at the blue-robed elder in confusion. This was the first time he'd heard of this name. It was also the first time he'd seen this elder.
"I'm the leader of the Huo clan," Huo Yongming said in a deep voice. "Huo Gang, the descendant of the Huo clan, was taken care of by you."
Xia Ping raised his eyebrows. He also thought of the core student, Huo Gang. "I see. Why did you call me? Do you want to punish me?"
"If I wanted to punish you, I would've done it a long time ago. Why wait until now? To a King, what you did is just a small matter. It's not worth mentioning," Huo Yongming said indifferently. "But what you did today is really big."
"You dared to publicly auction the prodigies of the demon race. Have you thought about the consequences?"
"If you start a war between humans and demons, you'll be the culprit. You'll have to take full responsibility."
His tone was very strict, as if Xia Ping was some war criminal.
"Then what do you want?" Xia Ping didn't express his attitude.
Huo Yongming put on a look of consideration for Xia Ping and said, "Of course, unconditionally release the prodigies of the demon race and apologize to them to appease their anger."
"This will benefit both sides. There's no need to make a big fuss."
He gave his opinion.
"Oh, if there's nothing else, I'll hang up. I still have something to do." Hearing this, Xia Ping wanted to hang up. He didn't even want to waste words with Huo Yongming.
Not to mention the fact that unconditionally releasing the prodigies of the demon race was too much, he actually wanted him to apologize. Was he really a Class A war criminal?
Even if this elder was a King, he couldn't criticize this matter.
"Young man!"
Huo Yongming's tone was very unhappy. He could tell that Xia Ping wanted to hang up. "What are you trying to do? You want to hang up on a King? You're too daring. Don't you know what manners are?"
He was very angry. Ever since he'd advanced to the King realm, no one had dared to speak to him in such a tone, let alone someone who dared to hang up on him. This was simply unheard of.
"A thousand cups are too little when drinking with a bosom friend. Half a sentence is too much when we don't get along! I have nothing to say to you. You don't have a backbone, and you can't stand up after kneeling for so long. I can't blame you for that. Anyway, this is your personality. " Xia Ping sneered, "But you think that you can order me around just because you're a king? You think too highly of yourself."
He didn't bother being polite with the blue-robed old man at all.
Even though the other party was a king, anyone who dared to obstruct him was an enemy. Since he was an enemy, what else could he say?
"As expected of the champion of the genius battle, a peerless monster. He does have a temper."
Huo Yongming was so angry that he laughed. He took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart. If they were outside, he could kill this arrogant person with a single slap.
How dare he act so arrogantly in front of a king? He must have lost his patience.
However, Xia Ping was currently at Yanhuang University, a place where experts and kings were as common as clouds. Unless he wanted the Huo Clan to be exterminated and his own reputation ruined, he wouldn't do such a disgraceful thing to harm Xia Ping.
Therefore, he could only swallow his anger.
"Senior, don't you also have a temper? You always want others to apologize, and if they don't obey, you use your power to oppress them. Your temper is quite big, "Xia Ping mocked.
Huo Yongming was so angry that his face turned pale. This damned guy was clearly mocking him. He took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart. "Fine, I was indeed a little inappropriate in this matter. How about this, I can make the decision to buy those demon race prodigies around you for 100 billion federal coins each. You don't have to continue the auction and end it like this, lest you anger the demon race and stimulate their nerves."
He waved his hand and took a step back. He also put forward his own conditions, saying that he would give Xia Ping 100 billion federal coins each. That would be the end of this matter.
"100 billion federal coins? You're sending off a beggar. "
Xia Ping immediately laughed loudly, "My base price is at least 300 billion federal coins, and you only gave me 100 billion. Are you illiterate, or are you hallucinating?"
Huo Yongming said coldly, "Xia Ping, don't go too far. Who doesn't know that you're asking for 300 billion federal coins? This is an unrealistic number. No one can afford it."
"It's already a good number to be able to get 100 billion. Hurry up and be grateful."
"If the demon race gets angry, you won't even have a hair."
He warned Xia Ping not to be too greedy because he had already taken a step back.
As a king, he actually took a step back in front of a grandmaster. He felt that he had already given Xia Ping a lot of face.
If it wasn't for Xia Ping's status as an employee of the Giant Company, the champion of the genius battle, and an elite student of Yanhuang University, he would have directly used his power to oppress Xia Ping.
A mere grandmaster wouldn't dare to go against the king's order.
"None of your business!"
Xia Ping sneered. "What does it have to do with you whether I can afford it or not? Who are you to come here and talk? If I give you face, you're a king. If I don't give you face, you're just an old dog!"
"Don't talk nonsense here. I'm definitely going to win this auction!"
He looked at Huo Yongming with disdain.
"You!"
Huo Yongming was so angry that his beard curled up. His face was very gloomy. "You refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit. Do you know what the consequences of rejecting a king are?"
"To tell you the truth, I'm not the only one who thinks about this. Some other kings have the same thought. They think that you should consider the big picture. You shouldn't let the human race get into huge trouble for your own selfishness. "
He warned Xia Ping that this matter had already received the support of some kings. He wasn't alone.
"Oh, tell them to come bite me." Xia Ping sneered. With a snap, he immediately hung up on Huo Yongming and blacklisted his number, never to contact him again.
This old man thought that he could use the power of other kings to oppress him, force him to lower his head and hand over those geniuses of the demon race. What a joke. He didn't even know how strong he was.
Now that he was a grandmaster, he wasn't too far away from the king realm. Therefore, he thought that he had started to have the power to be on equal footing with a king.
At this moment, in a villa.
"Damn it!"
With a bang, Huo Yongming grabbed the communicator in his hand and smashed it on the ground. Immediately, a huge pit with a diameter of ten meters was formed. Gravel flew in all directions, smoke and dust billowed, and there were shocking cracks everywhere on the ground.
He was so angry that his face was flushed red.
As a king, he was actually hung up on. Even when he called back, the other party didn't pick up. Obviously, his number had entered the blacklist.
