"You scared me to death …" The current William wasn't even afraid of Ross, so how could he be afraid of Salen Charlotte? After sneering, he stood up and said, "You said you were determined to get it, so you were determined to get it? Do you think that the Black Horn chamber of commerce is run by your Charlotte Family? "
"William Merlin, do you think that I can't do anything to you in the territory of the Black Horn chamber of commerce? Let me tell you, I'm a Black Iron VIP of the Black Horn chamber of commerce …" After saying that, Salen waved his hand and a few of his subordinates immediately surrounded him.
In the eyes of ordinary people, Salen's subordinates were fierce, but to Lin Yun and Ross Merlin, who had walked the line between life and death countless times, they could see with a glance that these were experienced elite warriors. Each of them had been tempered by life and death situations, and killing was as common as eating a meal to them.
"Alright, Salen, enough." Seeing that a fight was about to break out, Ross Merlin had no choice but to stand up.
No matter how hateful William Merlin was, he was still a member of the Merlin Family. How could the Charlotte Family bully him?
Moreover, with Salen Charlotte pestering him, how could he get Stan Watson's map from his cousin's hands?
Ross Merlin originally thought that with his status as a 5th Rank High Mage, Salen would have no choice but to retreat with his subordinates no matter how unwilling he was.
Unfortunately, Ross Merlin forgot one thing.
Ross Merlin forgot that he had been fighting in every major plane for the past few years. Although he had made a name for himself, he had rarely appeared in Okland.
"Who are you to dare meddle in my business?" Thus, it was a tragedy. Ross didn't have time to finish his words before Salen retorted, "Kid, let me advise you, don't think that you can be impudent in front of me just because you are hugging William's thigh. You offended the Charlotte Family in Okland, your days will be very difficult …"
"Pfft …" Salen's words made William Merlin burst out laughing.
Although he didn't say anything, he was looking at Ross Merlin with a gloating expression.
"…" Ross Merlin's lungs almost burst from anger.
One of the three young geniuses of the Merlin Family, a 5th Rank High Mage with the Endless Spring, was actually mistaken for hugging William Merlin's thigh. If news of this spread, who knew how many people would laugh their heads off.
If he could, Ross would really want to slap Salen Charlotte's face until all his teeth fell out.
But he couldn't …
Ross Merlin hadn't forgotten that this was the territory of the Black Horn chamber of commerce.
He and Salen were both Black Iron VIPs. If a fight broke out here, it would inevitably attract the interference of the Black Horn chamber of commerce. This was the rule of the Black Horn chamber of commerce, and even with his friendship with Ritch, he couldn't change it.
Ross Merlin endured and took a few deep breaths to suppress his anger. When he opened his mouth again, his voice was frighteningly cold. "Good, good, Salen, I'll remember you …"
"Haha, Okland is so big, there are many people who remember your Young Master Salen …" Salen had a disdainful expression as he pointed at Lin Yun. "And you, kid, don't think I don't know that you are helping William Merlin bid. You'd best remember that if you dare to bid for the next few items, your Young Master Salen will slap you ten times, and if you bid twice, he'll slap you twenty times …"
"Move your hand, you're blocking me …" Lin Yun was wholeheartedly looking at the auction list and simply didn't care about Salen. But now, Salen's hand was blocking Lin Yun's line of sight. This action made Lin Yun frown.
Only William Merlin noticed Lin Yun's subtle movement.
'That idiot, provoking him out of all people, serves you right for being unlucky …' William Merlin naturally couldn't warn Salen. He could only inwardly rejoice in Salen's misfortune while looking at the ceiling of the auction hall, acting as if everything had nothing to do with him.
Unfortunately, Salen didn't realize that he was walking further and further down the path of misfortune.
"Haha, kid, you are quite arrogant!"
"I'll say it again, move your hand, you're blocking me …" This time, Lin Yun only slightly raised his head to look at Salen.
"Fuck, you dare to speak to your Young Master Salen like that!" Salen had never been treated like this before. He flew into a rage on the spot. "You guys, go and throw this kid out. I want to see if he still dares to be so arrogant after all his teeth are knocked out!"
Salen had just finished speaking when a few fierce subordinates pounced over. These were all battle-hardened warriors, and they were most likely from the Charlotte Family's Planar Legion. It couldn't be seen before they started fighting, but now that they started fighting, they directly burst out with powerful Aura, causing the onlookers to scatter. 'Damn, they have the strength of an Expert Swordsman. If I'm not careful, I might accidentally injure them!'
When Ross Merlin saw this situation, he immediately held a Flame Ring in his hand. But just as he was about to release it, he suddenly remembered that this was a good opportunity to earn a favor.
Thus, this Flame Ring was forcibly taken by Ross Merlin.
Then, Ross Merlin started waiting.
What Ross Merlin needed to do now was wait for the conflict to start.
Ross Merlin knew about Salen's strength. He was a 4th Rank Expert Swordsman with the help of a few battle-hardened subordinates. Even if this distant cousin was a High Mage, he would still suffer a loss in this conflict. Ross just had to wait for him to suffer a loss.
Then, he would stand up and clean up the mess.
When the time came, wouldn't he have the nerve to not give him the map after doing such a favor?
But Ross Merlin didn't know that his performance had already fallen into William Merlin's eyes, and it even caused William Merlin to secretly mock him.
At this time, William Merlin had been watching coldly from the side and naturally saw what was going on with the Flame Ring in Merlin's hand. As long as he thought about it, it wouldn't be hard for him to guess Ross Merlin's thoughts.
"He thinks he's smart, but he doesn't know that he missed such a good opportunity …"
In William Merlin's eyes, Ross Merlin's actions were extremely stupid.
William Merlin understood his cousin too well.
He never owed anyone a favor. As long as Ross Merlin acted before him, regardless of the outcome, he would win a huge favor. This favor wouldn't be as simple as a map, it would very likely change his life.
Unfortunately, Ross Merlin missed such an opportunity.
Sure enough …
Just as Ross Merlin grabbed the Flame Ring, that young High Mage suddenly moved. Then, a Fire Serpent flew out and coiled in the air. A few elite warriors close to the Expert Swordsman realm let out mournful screams.
In an instant, the stench of blood permeated the auction hall …
Before the crowd could understand what was going on, a few elite warriors close to the level of great swordsmen had already fallen to the ground with a 'plop plop plop' sound. They covered their wrists with their hands and desperately wailed in agony …
At this time, everyone could finally see what was going on.
All of the subordinates that Salen Charlotte brought had their right hands burned by the Fire Snake. At this moment, their right hands had almost turned into charcoal. At a glance, they looked like pieces of charred wood …
And it wasn't over yet …
That Fire Serpent didn't disappear after burning a few arms. Instead, it moved along the body of one of the subordinates and fiercely rushed towards Salen Charlotte.
At this time, Salen Charlotte was already scared silly.
His face was as pale as a sheet of paper. Although his right hand was already holding the longsword at his waist, it was shaking fiercely. He tried to pull it out a few times, but he couldn't pull it out.
Even when the fire snake slithered onto his body, he didn't come back to his senses. He just kept retreating and trembling. After a few seconds, he suddenly came back to his senses. All of a sudden, he let out a shrill scream, "Help! Help! Take that damn thing away!"
For a moment, the entire auction hall fell silent.
Only Salen's screams echoed in the auction hall for a long time.
Everyone looked at Salen Charlotte with sympathy in their eyes. An esteemed 4th Rank Expert Swordsman could only be described as outstanding in Okland's younger generation. It could be foreseen that he would inevitably occupy a pivotal position in the Charlotte Family in the near future.
But now, this 4th Rank Expert Swordsman was so scared by a Fire Serpent that he pissed his pants.
At this time, the Fire Serpent was tightly coiled around Salen Charlotte's arm. Yes, the arm that blocked Lin Yun 'line of sight.
Although Expert Swordsmen had Aura to protect themselves, the power of that Fire Serpent surpassed everyone's imagination. Salen Charlotte's 4th Rank Expert Swordsman Aura could only resist for a moment before his Aura dimmed.
"Guard … Guard!" After taking a few steps back, Salen suddenly remembered that he was a Black Iron VIP. "Damn guards, where did you go? I'm your Black Iron VIP, your Black Horn chamber of commerce can't treat me like this …"
Unfortunately, no one paid attention to him.
