Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 359: Chapter 74: Wang Family Expansion! Shou Zhe’s Ambition is Huge_3

“Lei Yangyu!” Huangfu Jinhuan roared, “We are both heads of prominent celestial families. Do you really want to be against me?”

“Aiyo, you’re really a tyrant. You are making Lei scared.” Lei Yangyu mockingly laughed, “Can it be that Changning is your Huangfu Clan’s world? Does our Celestial Lei Family not even have the right to speak reasonably?”

Lei Yangyu is obviously not afraid of causing trouble. Moreover, now is the time when the Huangfu Clan is in trouble. If not now, when is the best time to kick them while they’re down?

The heads of the two prominent Celestial families clashed fiercely.

Consequently, the spectators were thrilled and excited.

“Everyone, shut up.” Xiahou Hongde felt a headache coming on. It was obvious that Wang Shouzhe had prepared ahead. He wanted to take the Huangfu Clan by surprise. Did he really intend to possess the properties of the former Ma Huangfu’s Family, or was he just driving up the price to make Huangfu Jinhuan uncomfortable?

What was this boy planning? Was he really ready to fall out with the Huangfu Clan?

However, Xiahou Hongde owed Wang Shouzhe a favor. In a fair and legal situation, he naturally had to lean a bit towards him.

Immediately, Xiahou Hongde said rather “impatiently”: “Da Qian has no rules on how to auction, and I, the City Lord, still have significant matters to attend to, so let’s auction everything in one go.”

After saying this, a ludicrous thought came to Xiahou Hongde’s mind. Wang Shouzhe had done him a big favor a few days ago. Could it be that he had calculated this auction a long time ago?

With such thoughts in mind, this boy’s scheming was rather profound. No wonder the Celestial Huangfu Family had suffered such a setback in his hands. It seemed likely that they would suffer another hit today.

Xiahou Hongde had finally spoken.

The matter was naturally settled.

“The auction officially begins now. All the properties of the former Ma Huangfu’s Family will be auctioned in one go, starting at 540,000 Qian Gold,” the official announced.

“540,000,” Wang Shouzhe raised his hand.

“You…” Huangfu Jinhuan was almost spitting blood and shot a murderous look at Wang Shouzhe, “Wang Shouzhe, are you really going to challenge my Huangfu Clan?”

“Haha, Master Yangyu is correct,” Wang Shouzhe replied casually, “it seems that your Huangfu Clan really thinks the world of Changning belongs to your family. It’s just normal auction bidding. Are you threatening me because you can’t afford to bid? Shouzhe is scared.”

He and Lei Yangyu had the same idea, to take advantage of the fact that the Huangfu family was in trouble and to throw a few stones into the water whenever given the chance. Although they couldn’t kill them, they could make the Celestial Huangfu Family’s reputation plummet.

As the bystanders ridiculed heavily and burst into laughter, a look of contempt and mockery appeared in the eyes of the other eight and nine-ranked noble family heads present.

The once prestigious Huangfu Clan turned out to be so incapable. Not only was it about to lose its financial resources, but it was also unable to win an auction against an Eighth Grade prominent family.

The wind seemed to be changing direction in Changning.

Everyone looked at Wang Shouzhe as if they were looking at a rising star.

The auction official was obviously a man who could read people’s hearts. From the way the City Lord agreed with Wang Shouzhe’s suggestion, it was apparent that the City Lord was on the side of the Wang family.

The official’s face changed slightly and said: “Master Huangfu, this is a serious auction. If you want to bid, do so. If not, give up. Let me warn you not to randomly raise the price. If you can’t pay within three days, our the guards at the City Guard Mansion won’t take it lightly.”

“550,000!” Huangfu Jinhuan shouted a price with a cold face, which was 150,000 more. He could manage to gather this within three days.

“Petty,” Wang Shouzhe shook his head, “600,000.”

“You…” Huangfu Jinhuan angrily said, “Wang Shouzhe, do you really want those ranches? Your Wang family doesn’t raise livestock, what’s the use of getting those ranches?”

“I don’t care, I am just here to join in the fun,” Wang Shouzhe said with a grin, “Just casually bidding a few times. If Master Huangfu offers a high price, I’ll withdraw, contributing to the public fund of Changning. If Master can’t afford it, I’ll take it as an investment and sell it slowly after a few years of operation. It won’t be a loss. Master can continue…”

“Continue, continue you soul.”

Huangfu Jinhuan was about to curse, angry about the sum of 600,000. How many celestial families could afford such a sum at once?

“Alright, alright, alright!”

Huangfu Jinhuan’s face turned red and then white, “Wang Shouzhe, you are ruthless. We’ll see.”

“City Lord.” Wang Shouzhe bowed to Xiahou Hongde, “I report the Huangfu Clan, they are threatening me. If something happens to me, it’s definitely the Huangfu Clan’s doing. Due to the threat I face, I would like to request a patrol team from the City Lord to protect me.”

“Huangfu Jinhuan, you had better not provoke me,” Xiahou Hongde had been extremely dissatisfied with the Huangfu Clan recently. If it were not for Wang Shouzhe’s killing the people of the Yin Sha Sect, something big might have happened before his reassignment.

“City Lord Xiahou, I am simply upset because I lost the bid,” Huangfu Jinhuan bowed and said, “My Huangfu Clan is a law-abiding family, and we will never violate the Daqian Law.”

“And you, Master Shouzhe,” Xiahou Hongde stared at him, “The patrol team from my City Guard Mansion is responsible for protecting the city and its people, they can’t act as your personal bodyguards.”

He paused for a while, then frowned, and pulled out a weapon, “This is a Piercing Cloud Cannon, a rescue signal in the army. As long as you are not more than a hundred miles away from the City Guard Mansion, we will receive your distress signal. It can only be used once, do not misuse it.”

This was indeed unexpected.

Wang Shouzhe only intended to smear Huangfu Jinhuan a bit. In fact, he knew the Huangfu Clan was planning something big. They wouldn’t send Old Ancestor Huaye to directly assassinate him.

However, after taking possession of the fixed assets of the former Ma Huangfu’s Family and getting the Piercing Cloud Cannon, a rescue item, he was naturally even happier.

It was just a pity that Huangfu Jinhuan could not even dream of how much use those ranches would be if they fell into Wang Shouzhe’s hands. If he knew, even if he had to cut off his arms and legs, he would have to bid.
