Leng Yuexin was relieved when she saw Lin Huang appearing in one piece. However, she could not help but look at Lin Huang again when she thought about the two black shadows that covered the dead bodies and sank into the ground.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Lin Huang noticed the strange look in Leng Yuexin's eyes and his heart skipped a beat. Did she see through him?
"I thought you were dead." Leng Yuexin pointed at the VIP room on the second floor that was in ruins.
"Oh, I went to the washroom and the VIP room was gone when I came out." Lin Huang opened his arms and said.
"Isn't there a washroom in the VIP room?" Leng Yuexin frowned as she felt that Lin Huang was lying.
"There's a washroom in the VIP room but the door is locked. I think you'll have to scan your invitation card to open it …" Lin Huang said helplessly as he was telling the truth.
"Oh, I forgot about that." Leng Yuexin then recalled that many things in the VIP room were restricted and the washroom was no exception.
"Fortunately, you forgot about it. If you didn't, I might be dead by now." Lin Huang smiled but he thought to himself that he had managed to fool her.
Leng Yuexin did not ask further as she did not need to know whether Lin Huang was the one who obtained the two dead bodies. The Mystery was not a kind organization. Even though she was a royal, she was happy to see the Mystery's items being robbed.
"I guess the auction can't go on. Fortunately, I didn't pay for the dracaena beforehand or else I would've suffered a huge loss." Lin Huang smiled.
"It's fine even if you paid for it. The Mystery will definitely pay for it in full." Leng Yuexin shook her head. "Although the Mystery has many shady deals, their customer service is great. Other than the shady deals, the main reason why their business is so successful is because of their great service. They've always paid for the losses caused to their customers. "
"They're so rich! But they must've suffered a huge loss this time. Not only had they lost their goods, but they had also lost many of their noble guests. If they were to compensate them one by one, it would be a considerable sum. Also, the venue will definitely need to be demolished and rebuilt … "Lin Huang looked around.
"To Enigma's backer in Division2, money is a small matter. The only thing that could make the aristocratic family feel a little heartache was the demigod brain. However, the biggest problem for the Mystery isn't the loss of the goods, but the declining credibility. " Leng Yuexin was very clear about that. "The auction has been attacked, two immortal-level guardians are dead and the guest in the VIP room has been kidnapped … I guess the Mystery won't be able to operate in Division7 for a while. I'm afraid the branches in the other districts will also be affected. "
"Furthermore, only the members of the Six Great Clans can enter the VIP lounge. It would be more complicated if the people who were kidnapped were the direct descendants of the other families … "Leng Yuexin grinned. She was supportive of the Mystery's decision to close its business.
As the both of them were talking, an old man slowly descended from the sky. He was one of the three imperial-levels who had chased Ba Yan Tian away.
"I, Xia Hou Lin, would like to apologize on behalf of Haitian City. I'm sorry for the shock. We did not expect that the Mystery Auction would be attacked. The supervisor and assistant will arrive later. Please wait for a while. The foothold will need to make a record of this incident. It might take up some of your time. I hope that all of you can cooperate with the investigation. "
Knowing that the old man in front of them was an imperial-level, although most of them were aristocrats, they did not dare to act rashly. They immediately nodded in agreement.
Not long after, three supervisors arrived with a group of supervisors' assistants.
After calming everyone down, the three supervisors began to ask about the entire process of the incident.
Xia Hou Lin scanned the area with his Soul Force several times, but found nothing.
The only clue he got was from the mouths of some of the onlookers in the venue. They said that the last two corpses that fell to the ground were wrapped by a falling black shadow and sank to the ground.
"The black shadow could be a shadow type secret skill or a shadow type summoning monster. Judging from the Infernal Dragon just now, the latter was more likely to be the case. The dead body must have fallen into the hands of the Imperial Censor who was hiding in the dark. However, there was no aura of an immortal-level within a radius of 1,000 kilometers. The Imperial Censor might have some kind of long-distance observation skill that allowed him to observe everything that happened 1,000 kilometers away. Theoretically, it's impossible for him to complete the summoning since he's so far away. However, what if that guy has a demigod summoning relic? That might be the case. "The imperial-level old man soon came up with the only logical conclusion after thinking about it for a while.
As for the possibility that the Imperial Censor was below immortal-level, he did not even consider it. To him, it was impossible for anyone below immortal-level to subdue a monster like the Infernal Dragon. Due to the inertia caused by such common sense, Lin Huang managed to escape from Xia Houlin's clutches.
After a series of detailed inquiries and piecing together the information of the entire incident, a group of supervisory assistants helped everyone register. When it was almost six o 'clock in the evening, everyone was allowed to leave.
Just when Lin Huang and Leng Yuexin were about to leave, someone shouted from behind.
"Lin Huang?!"
Lin Huang turned his head and saw Fang Wen in a black coat. He was one of the four Purple Crow members that were captured. Both of his hands were cuffed with anti-magic shackles.
"It's really you! You're not dead?!" Fang Wen was shocked.
At that moment, the rest of them looked at Lin Huang in an unfriendly manner.
The first thought that came to their minds was that there were still the remaining members of the Purple Crow!
Even Leng Yuexin thought it was strange.
Lin Huang was cursing in his heart. He did not expect to be tricked by Fang Wen just as he was about to leave the auction hall. Of course, he remembered Fang Wen. He was the one who ranked first in the Purple Crow training camp before he appeared.
"Capture him!" In mid-air, the figure frowned and immediately gave the order.
"Wait a minute!" Lin Huang shouted immediately, "I know him but I'm not a member of the Purple Crow. I can get someone to prove it. "
"You mean the young lady from the Leng family that you've threatened?" Xia Hou Lin scoffed and grabbed Leng Yuexin. Leng Yuexin flew into the air and appeared next to him. "What else do you have to say?"
"I'm Mr. Fu's apprentice. I can get him to prove it." Lin Huang looked at Xia Hou Lin who was in the air. He knew that he had to convince Xia Hou Lin.
"His name is Lin Huang. He's indeed Mr. Fu's apprentice." Leng Yuexin confirmed for Lin Huang.
"Mr. Fu? Mr. Fu? "Xia Hou Lin turned his head and asked Leng Yuexin.
Leng Yuexin nodded.
Lin Huang called Mr. Fu immediately and explained the situation to him. Mr. Fu called Xia Hou Lin right after he hung up the phone.
Xia Houlin took a good look at Lin Huang and retreated far away in a flash. He then picked up the call.
Soon, Xia Hou Lin came back and nodded at Lin Huang. "You can leave now."
"Lin Huang, you traitor!" Fang Wen scolded. He had been brainwashed for a month and was loyal to the Purple Crow. He reacted violently when he heard that Lin Huang was released.
"Fang Wen, I've never thought about joining the Purple Crow. Hong Zhuang kidnapped me and threw me into the Purple Crow training camp. Since the first day I entered the training camp, I've been planning how to escape. I believe you remember that a few days before I faked my death, I asked you how the Purple Crow treated the dead bodies in the training camp. That was to prepare for my death. I spent a lot of effort to trick Scar and Hong Zhuang and escaped from the training camp. I've never been a member of the Purple Crow and I don't agree with the Purple Crow's way of doing things, so it's not really a betrayal. "Lin Huang walked to Fang Wen and told him everything that happened last year.
