Xixi Martial Arts Arena, B5.
Only members with gold and diamond cards could enter the third floor of the underground market. It was the core of the West Arena.
In the modern-styled exhibition hall, dozens of people gathered around a display table.
Everyone's eyes were focused on a gold medal.
The gold medal was erected on the table. It was about eight centimeters tall and five centimeters wide. Both sides were inlaid with diamonds and rubies. The diamond side was engraved with complicated patterns, while the ruby side was engraved with the words "Death Free" and "Once" in small letters.
A chandelier hung from the ceiling, and the bright light fell on the gold medal. It was dazzling and beautiful. Although it was made of gold and jewelry, it did not look vulgar at all!
"Is this the Death Free Gold Medal that Zuo Yi sent to auction?"
A middle-aged man in his forties or fifties asked in a deep voice, "Riverside Dragon King Zuo Yi?"
Although the words' death-exemption gold medallion 'sounded weird, like something that could be bought from a street stall, nobody showed any disdain or mockery on their faces.
Because this middle-aged man with a dignified aura was the behind-the-scenes controller of the Xixi Underground Market, the chairman of the South Yan Group, and the current head of the Jiangnan Yan family, Yan Donglai!
The Jiangnan Yan family was a wealthy family like the Chen family in the capital and the Ye family in the port of Tianjin. It was also the top family in Jiangnan, and it used to be a tycoon!
And the Riverside Dragon King Zuo Yi he mentioned was a famous A-class expert in the Inner World recently!
Therefore, even if it was a piece of rotten iron, no one would dare to look down on it, let alone a Death Free Gold Medal.
Moreover, this item had been appraised by Jiabao.
"Yes."
Zong Yi, the general manager of the West Arena branch of Jiabao Auction House, bowed and replied, "There is no problem with Master Zuo Yi's identity."
He answered with some trepidation, because he did not expect Yan Donglai to come in person.
Zong Yi had been working in the West Arena for more than five years. As the highest representative of Jiabao Auction House in the West Arena, the number of times he had met this big boss could be counted on one hand.
Other than Yan Donglai, the other people present were not ordinary people. There were higher-ups in the west field and members of the Yan family. Many of them had the giant dragon badge of the Super Association on their chests.
Compared to these people, Zong Yi could only be considered a small shrimp!
"Tell me …"
Yan Donglai asked thoughtfully, "Why did Zuo Yi suddenly send this item to us for auction?"
Everyone looked at each other. Among them, a tall young man wanted to say something but hesitated. His expression was excited.
Yan Donglai noticed this and called out his name directly. "Zhiyong, tell us about it."
This young man was a direct descendant of the Yan family. Although he was not Yan Donglai's biological son, he was very close to Yan Donglai.
"Uncle."
Yan Zhiyong did not have the slightest bit of stage fright in the face of the attention from the people around him. He said loudly, "I think Zuo Yi's purpose is very simple. He just needs a lot of money!"
If it were an ordinary person or an ordinary Extraordinaire sending an item to the west field for auction, Yan Donglai would not have paid so much attention to it. After all, Zuo Yi was a Class-A powerhouse.
Most importantly, Zuo Yi was also a special consultant of the Jiangnan Superemptory Administration. He became famous in the inner world by stepping on the Superemptory Administration.
Jiangnan Yan happened to be one of the important forces of the Xia Superemptory Administration!
Therefore, after receiving the report from the west field, the Yan family had doubts about Zuo Yi's purpose.
Could there be some kind of conspiracy behind this?
Although the Yan family did not have any grudges with Zuo Yi, it was better to be safe than sorry. No one dared to underestimate a powerful Extraordinaire like Zuo Yi.
After all, the Chen family from the capital and Ye family from the port of Tianjin had been defeated by Zuo Yi. The Superemptory Class-A powerhouse, Si Kongyan, had his reputation ruined by Zuo Yi. He had recently disappeared from the inner world.
As the head of the Yan family, Yan Donglai did not want to repeat the mistakes of the Chen and Ye families. That was why he had such doubts.
At the same time, it was also a test.
Since there were core elites of the Yan family present, there were also up-and-coming talents.
Yan Zhiyong was obviously confident. He said with assurance, "As far as I know, Jiangnan New City Group has already decided to give up on the Jiangnan New City construction project and stopped the demolition and relocation work in Linjiang Town. The Chen family and the Ye family have already returned to the capital."
After a pause, he continued, "I think their abandonment will put pressure on Zuo Yi. After all, it was because of him that this project failed. Those people in Linjiang Town who want to get rich from the demolition will definitely have a lot of opinions."
"No way."
Someone could not help but interject and question, "Zuo Yi is a Class-A Extraordinaire. Why would he care about what these ordinary people think?"
"I think he cares."
Yan Zhiyong replied firmly, "That's why he wants to buy Linjiang Town himself!"
"Uncle."
His eyes flashed with a fiery light as he said, "If my judgment is correct, then I think this is a good opportunity for our Yan family. We can cooperate with Zuo Yi and provide him with the funds, manpower, and material resources he needs to restart the Jiangnan New City project!"
The Jiangnan New City project was a big plate worth tens of billions, and the long-term benefits were as high as hundreds of billions. Of course, the Yan family could not sit back and do nothing about such a big piece of cake.
Yan Zhiyong had been paying attention to this because he was currently the deputy general manager of a real estate company under the Yan Nan Group. He urgently needed to prove himself with outstanding results.
The competition in big families had always been fierce!
However, because this project was jointly started by the Chen family and the Ye family from Jingang and several local groups, the Yan family could get a share of the benefits, but it was impossible for them to take over the nest.
Yan Zhiyong could only watch and drool.
However, it was precisely because he had been paying attention to the Jiangnan New City project that he knew a lot of inside information and dared to make bold judgments here.
Now that the project had fallen through and the Chen family and the Ye family had left, the Yan family's opportunity had come!
It just so happened that Zuo Yi had taken the initiative to come, which was a good thing for Yan Zhiyong.
If the two sides could reach a cooperation, the Yan family would not only be able to earn countless benefits, but also have an A-level ally.
It was simply wonderful.
As for the grudge between Zuo Yi and the Super Alliance, what did it have to do with the Yan family?
The Xia Super Alliance had never been monolithic!
Yan Donglai smiled.
He nodded approvingly and said, "Zhiyong's guess is very likely to be correct. Zuo Yi should need a large sum of money and not have any other purpose. Then let's see how good the item he put up for auction is!"
Yan Zhiyong was stunned.
He was naturally very happy to be able to get Yan Donglai's affirmation, but this uncle ignored his suggestion of cooperation, which made him feel surprised and doubtful.
At this moment, Yan Zhiyong's expression was clearly seen by a few of the Yan family's higher-ups. Everyone smiled but did not say anything.
Jiangnan New City was such a big piece of land that the Yan family naturally wanted it, but cooperating with Zuo Yi was something that was very debatable.
The Chen family and the Ye family had left, but who could guarantee that the two families would not make a comeback? If the Yan family was anxious to get Zuo Yi to take over, it would undoubtedly be a slap to the faces of the two families.
Moreover, the Yan family was a member of the Super Alliance after all. The unity on the surface must be maintained. Otherwise, it would be easy to become the target of public criticism, which would not be justifiable no matter what.
The most important thing was that even if the Yan family really wanted to cooperate with Zuo Yi, there were many ways to do it. Yan Zhiyong said it out loud, which was undoubtedly very inappropriate.
It could only be said that the young man was not mature enough. He was eager to make a contribution and was in a hurry to succeed. He had thought of the problem too simply!
After all, Yan Zhiyong was not an ordinary person. He quickly realized where his mistake was and could not help but lower his head.
This made the other Yan family members who were present secretly laugh.
Who asked you to be in the limelight!
Zong Yi was very perceptive and immediately said, "Director Yan, this gold medal has been appraised by our appraiser. We preliminarily believe that it is a Wild Wonder item, but it was denied by Master Zuo Yi. The question now is how we should verify its function and whether it is as magical as Master Zuo Yi described."
"This is simple."
Yan Donglai said without hesitation, "Since the other party provided a test sample, we will conduct a real test."
He waved his hand and immediately, a vigorous man walked forward and reached out to take the gold medal.
The man used a thin rope to pass through the hole on the top of the gold medal, tied a knot, and made a necklace to hang around his neck.
Zong Yi was startled — this was serious!
Yan Donglai looked around and said, "Let's change places."
