"Young master." The person who had appeared was none other than the chief auctioneer of the trading company, Fang Rushui. Yan Kong had heavily injured the people of the trading company in such an arrogant manner, and there were so many people watching outside. Fang Rushui was indeed furious, but she knew Yan Kong's origins well, so she dared not say anything. In the end, she just greeted him politely.
Fang Rushui understood Yan Kong's terror extremely well. In the Saints' World, it was fine to offend anyone but Yan Kong, or the consequences would be extremely severe.
"Hmph! Chief Fang, you should find some time to teach them a lesson. On account of you, this young master will not argue with them today. "A proud cold smile surfaced on Yan Kong's face as he spoke in an indifferent voice. He immediately strode into the hall of the merchant association.
"You guys, carry them back to heal," Fang Rushui sighed helplessly. Afterwards, she gestured for the guards of the trading company to come out. She could not just let others laugh at her, right?
At this moment, the heavily injured guards were so regretful that their intestines turned green.
"F- chief auctioneer Fang, w- who is he?" One of the heavily injured guards asked with great difficulty as he endured his injuries.
Fang Rushui sighed helplessly again and slowly closed her eyes. She said softly, "Yan Kong, the adopted son of Sacred Exalt Yan Kui."
The moment they heard this, the heavily injured guards, as well as the guards who were carrying them, all started to tremble in fear. Two of the heavily injured guards even fainted.
Fang Rushui glanced at Yan Kong who had entered the hall fearfully before hurriedly following him. She could not afford to offend this great figure.
As soon as Fang Rushui caught up, Yan Kong waved his hand and said indifferently, "Chief auctioneer Fang, get them all to piss off."
Fang Rushui's face immediately froze when she heard that. She was completely stunned. Her mind had completely blanked out by Yan Kong's words.
Should she get these people out or not under these circumstances?
The trading company was not weak, but they were not as powerful as the Yan Kui Sacred Hall. Under normal circumstances, they would never offend the Yan Kui Sacred Hall, not to mention that the trading company would not offend any organisation of their own accord.
However, Yan Kong's request was a small matter to the trading company, but it was a huge matter to the reputation of the trading company.
If Fang Rushui agreed to Yan Kong's request, what would the people in the hall think of the trading company? What would they say behind their backs?
If this spread across the entire Saints' World, the trading company would become a laughingstock.
"What? Do you need me to repeat myself? " Yan Kong asked coldly after not hearing Fang Rushui's reply for a long time. His gloomy eyes swept over Fang Rushui, causing the latter to be terrified.
Hearing this, Fang Rushui's body trembled again. She was in a dilemma and really did not know how to answer. She said hesitantly, "Young Hall Master, this …"
"What? Is it difficult for you? " Yan Kong slowly turned around and stared coldly at Fang Rushui as he asked in a ghastly voice. His chilling aura caused Fang Rushui to break out in cold sweat and her face to turn pale.
"Haha, Young Hall Master, please calm down." At this moment, a faint, old laughter could be heard. Several old men slowly walked into the hall from the back of the palace. The one who spoke was the President, Duan Hen Xi.
Duan Hen Xi's sudden words made Fang Rushui heave a sigh of relief. It was a feeling of enduring humiliation.
"Everyone, I'm really sorry. The trading company has something important to discuss today, so I'll have to ask everyone to leave the trading company for now. I'm really sorry," Duan Hen Xi looked at the crowd and cupped his fist towards them with a smile.
Hearing this, the maids were slightly stunned. However, they did not say anything. Since it was Duan Hen Xi who had spoken, it must be something important. Thus, they apologized to the guests in front of them.
Many people left the hall first. Some of them were dissatisfied, but they did not dare to say anything.
Before long, the hall fell silent. The female attendants and the other guards left the hall of their own accord.
"Haha, congratulations on reaching the early Saint Venerate, young Hall Master," Duan Hen Xi smiled and congratulated politely.
"Saint Venerate?" Fang Rushui's eyes widened. Her heart trembled as she stared behind Yan Kong.
With Duan Hen Xi's cultivation, he was naturally able to see Yan Kong's cultivation. When Yan Kong had first arrived in the trading company, Duan Hen Xi had already sensed his terrifying presence.
"Chairman Duan really is something. I still can't hide it from you even after hiding it so deeply," Yan Kong smiled faintly. His face was still filled with pride.
"You must be joking, young Hall Master. How can Old Man compare to you? You broke through to Saint Venerate at such a young age. The Old Man was still a Saint Ruler back then. Young Hall Master, please come with me, "Duan Hen Xi shook his head and smiled politely. He even made an inviting gesture. Different statuses naturally meant different treatment.
"There's no need. I've come this time to clarify something," Yan Kong waved his hand and said nonchalantly.
"Please speak, young Hall Master," the grand elder nodded with a smile.
He slowly turned around with his back to Duan Hen Xi and the others. His arrogance went without saying. Yan Kong said nonchalantly, "I'm sure you're familiar with the name Xiao Chen. I've heard about him as well. He's become quite famous in the Saints' World in recent years."
"He's indeed familiar. He even came to the headquarters not long ago," the grand elder said with a smile. He was secretly overjoyed when he thought about Xiao Chen's alchemy skills.
Yan Kong sneered and continued, "I've heard that Xiao Chen has a good relationship with the Saint Sun City Chamber of Commerce. That auctioneer Cai Yun is quite good friends with Xiao Chen. She seems to be very willing to help Xiao Chen."
"Xiao Chen is also a person of status. The Saint Sun City Chamber of Commerce naturally wouldn't dare to slight him," an elder said with a smile.
"Hmph! That's true. No matter what, Xiao Chen is still the young Hall Master of Tyrant Soul Temple. The Saint Sun City Chamber of Commerce naturally wouldn't dare to slight him. Instead, they're trying to rope him in, "Yan Kong said with a cold smile.
Yan Kong's words seemed simple and clear, but Duan Hen Xi and the others felt uncomfortable when they heard it. They could also hear the mockery in Yan Kong's words.
"Young Hall Master, are you mocking us?" First Elder Tian You asked with a faint smile as he stared at Yan Kong with his deep old eyes.
Yan Kong turned around and exchanged a glance with Elder Tian You. The corners of his mouth curled into an evil smile as he said, "You worry too much, First Elder."
It seemed like a normal conversation, but there was a hint of hostility in it.
Yan Kong's arrogance had indeed infuriated Elder Tian You and the others.
"Haha, young Hall Master hasn't explained why you're here," Duan Hen Xi hurriedly said when he sensed that the atmosphere wasn't right.
"I'll cut to the chase. I just want to know which side your chamber of commerce is on," Yan Kong said coldly. Niao Kong asked with a cold expression. Xiao Chen had such a close relationship with the Chamber of Commerce in Shengyang City that Niao Kong had to be on guard.
Who could guarantee that Xiao Chen wouldn't give the chamber of commerce any benefits? If the chamber of commerce stood on Xiao Chen's side, the Yan Kui Sacred Hall would probably suffer heavy casualties if a war broke out.
"So that's why you've come, young Hall Master. You worry too much. The chamber of commerce has never interfered with the matters of the various organisations. If the Yan Kui Sacred Hall and the Tyrant Spirit Sacred Hall go to war, the chamber of commerce will not interfere. You don't have to worry about that, young Hall Master," Duan Hen Xi replied with absolute certainty.
The battle between Yan Kui Temple and Tyrant Soul Temple was a battle between two supreme forces of the Holy World. Regardless of who won or lost, both sides would definitely suffer heavy losses. The Chamber of Commerce was more than happy to see the two forces destroyed. That way, the Chamber of Commerce would become the strongest existence in the Holy World.
After a slight pause, Duan Hen Xi continued with a smile, "Moreover, elder Jin Yuan has a good relationship with the chamber of commerce. Why would we help Xiao Chen?"
Yan Kong stared into Duan Hen Xi's old eyes with that. A while later, he smiled and said indifferently, "You're right, chairman Duan. I hope that's the case as well."
The reason why Yan Kong was so wary of the chamber of commerce was because he knew that these old bastards only cared about benefits. They would help whoever stood to gain more.
"But." Yan Kong changed the topic and looked at Duan Hen Xi. He smiled coldly, "Chairman Duan, there are some things that I feel I need to remind you of. Before you make a decision, you'd best think it over. If I find out something I shouldn't know, the consequences will be very severe."
"That bastard Yan Kong has become more and more arrogant after reaching Saint Venerate. He doesn't even take the chairman seriously now!" Fang Rushui was furious. He cursed in his heart, but he did not dare to show it. He did not interrupt from beginning to end.
Duan Hen Xi and the three elders' faces sank slightly when they heard Yan Kong's words. Yan Kong was clearly warning them. No one would be able to tolerate such arrogance.
"Young Hall Master, are you threatening Old Man?" Duan Hen Xi asked with a faint smile. His voice also became slightly cold.
"Haha, this young master is merely joking. There is no need for chairman Duan to take it seriously. Goodbye." Yan Kong chuckled coldly before he turned around and left.
"Old Man knows that young master is joking. Young master is not someone who overestimates himself." Duan Hen Xi smiled faintly as a fierce glint flashed in his eyes.
Yan Kong's face darkened when he heard this. Duan Hen Xi was clearly saying that he was overestimating himself. Anyone could tell.
Yan Kong's footsteps came to a halt. He turned his head and smiled coldly, "This young master is indeed not someone who overestimates himself. However, this young master is powerful enough to kill an intermediate Saint Venerate. This young master believes that I have the ability and qualifications to say such words!"
As his voice sounded, he immediately left the hall with a soft cold laugh.
The faces of Duan Hen Xi and the rest darkened after Yan Kong left. If not for Yan Kong's status, Duan Hen Xi would have already attacked.
"Chairman, that bastard Yan Kong is becoming more and more arrogant." Fang Rushui's face twitched as she gritted her teeth and said furiously. She could no longer tolerate it.
"Humph!" Duan Hen Xi snorted coldly. His elderly face was extremely gloomy as he coldly said, "Ignorant junior. There is no need to care about him. That brat has always been so arrogant. There will come a time when he will regret it."
"Yan Kui Sacred Hall and Tyrant Spirit Sacred Hall will definitely suffer heavy losses in the battle. If there is a chance, it is not impossible to eliminate them." Elder Tian You's deep eyes flashed with killing intent as he spoke in a sinister voice.
