In that instant, many people couldn’t help but feel a twinge of regret. They shouldn’t have dismissed Qin Tuo’s words.

But no one was more regretful than Liu Zhenghai. He was absolutely beside himself with regret!

Worse than the regret, however, was the fact that he had been utterly and completely humiliated in front of so many people.

From this day forward, how could the Liu Family ever show their faces again?

Recalling how formidable Qin Tuo was, Qi Wuqi couldn’t help but shake his head and sigh.

”To be fair, that kid is a real handful. Good thing the money’s already in the bank. There’s not much trouble he can stir up now.”

Everyone could hear the lingering fear in Qi Wuqi’s voice. He was clearly relieved he hadn’t been exposed by Qin Tuo earlier.

At this thought, Liu Zhenghai’s heart twisted in agony. His face contorted, turning livid.

Wu Qihao immediately said:

”In that case, how about you work your magic and set up another Feng Shui Array, Master? That’ll definitely get the Liu Family to pay up the rest of the balance a little quicker.”

Clearly, Wu Qihao was greedy. He wasn’t satisfied with just the seven billion; he wanted to get his hands on the rest of the payment as well.

But Qi Wuqi just burst out laughing. The sound echoed through the venue, each laugh a dagger twisting in Liu Zhenghai’s heart, making him grit his teeth until they audibly ground together.

Qi Wuqi said, laughing,

”Why bother with another Fengshui Array? We can just whip up a Blinding Technique later, can’t we? With how clueless these oafs are, they’ll never be able to tell the difference!”

Then, the two of them exchanged a knowing glance and burst out laughing again.

Their laughter was dripping with mockery. In the middle of the hall, Liu Zhenghai’s face had turned completely livid!

Many others in the crowd were trying desperately to suppress their snickers, finding it an incredibly difficult task.

As for the Zhu Family, looks of pure satisfaction spread across their faces, all their previous frustration completely gone.

As members of the Zhu Family, they were delighted to see Liu Zhenghai suffer such a massive loss. It was a mercy they weren’t kicking him while he was down.

Liu Zhenghai’s fists were clenched so tightly he nearly flew into a rage right then and there.

He had spent ten billion on this thing, only to find out it was nothing but a worthless block of wood!

At that moment, Liu Zhenghai wanted nothing more than to tear Wu Qihao and his partner limb from limb.

Zhu Guirong’s heart, on the other hand, was pounding wildly. ’Thank goodness I didn’t have enough money,’ he thought. ’Otherwise, it would be the entire Zhu Family in this mess right now.’

’If we had really spent ten billion on such a piece of junk, the Zhu Family might have been dragged into bankruptcy!’

At this thought, Zhu Guirong immediately turned to Qin Tuo and apologized, saying:

”Mr. Qin, I’m so sorry. I never should have doubted you!”

Zhu Guirong’s face was filled with shame as he said this.

There was no doubt he had questioned Qin Tuo’s words and impulsively called out a price.

But Qin Tuo just shook his head and smiled magnanimously.

”Don’t worry about it, Elder Zhu. If you hadn’t made a bid, the Liu Family wouldn’t have raised their offer so high!”

Hearing Qin Tuo’s words, Zhu Guirong was stunned for a moment, but then he couldn’t help but laugh as well.

He clearly understood now. Qin Tuo had done it on purpose, with the sole aim of viciously setting a trap for the Liu Family.

And clearly, that goal had been accomplished, and then some.

From across the room, Liu Zhenghai had of course heard Qin Tuo’s words as well!

Instantly, Liu Zhenghai was so enraged he nearly coughed up blood.

He couldn’t contain his fury. Pointing a trembling finger at Qin Tuo, he screamed:

”You brat, you dared to set me up?”

Suddenly, it dawned on all the guests. They realized Qin Tuo had deliberately orchestrated the whole thing, tricking Liu Zhenghai into shelling out a full ten billion for a worthless block of wood.

Everyone’s perception of Qin Tuo was shattered and rebuilt. They now saw that this young man’s methods were so ruthless as to be terrifying!

Before this, everyone had dismissed Qin Tuo as some greenhorn who’d just stumbled into the scene.

But who would have thought that even an old fox like Liu Zhenghai would fall right into his trap.

Now, not a single one of the influential figures present dared to underestimate Qin Tuo again.

In the face of Liu Zhenghai’s accusation, Qin Tuo simply spread his hands in a helpless gesture.

”How ridiculous. I told you from the very beginning that it was just a rotten block of wood. You were the one who refused to believe me. What was I supposed to do?”

From the Zhu Family’s side, Zhu Guirong chimed in, saying:

”That’s right! You were practically begging for disaster, and now you blame Mr. Qin? That’s hilarious!”

It was clear they were paying back the mockery Liu Zhenghai had heaped on the Zhu Family, with double the measure.

Flames of fury shot from Liu Zhenghai’s eyes, but deep down, he still refused to believe Qin Tuo’s words.

So, after a moment of tortured conflict, he couldn’t stop himself from asking through gritted teeth:

”Master Ma, didn’t you just activate the Array? Why would this thing be a fake?”

Faced with the question, Master Ma’s face instantly filled with embarrassment.

He had been trying to cover his tracks to avoid making a fool of himself.

But now he knew he couldn’t keep up the act any longer.

So, Master Ma stammered:

”Mr. Liu, the truth is... I just used a little trickery. But Mr. Qin still saw right through it.”

Under the circumstances, Master Ma had no choice but to tell the truth.

What’s more, where was that arrogant demeanor he had before?

Master Ma understood perfectly well that Qin Tuo was a true, reclusive master. In front of someone like that, displaying his own half-baked skills was nothing short of making a complete fool of himself.

Hearing Master Ma’s explanation, Liu Zhenghai was so furious he almost fainted on the spot.

”You... you bastard! The Liu Family will remember this!”

Liu Zhenghai pounded his chest in a fit of rage.

Upon hearing such a threat, Master Ma’s face turned deathly pale.

He didn’t have Qin Tuo’s skills, and the Zhu Family certainly wouldn’t go to war with the Liu Family over him.

Master Ma was suddenly struck by a deep sense of dread for his future.

The members of the Liu Family rushed forward to support Liu Zhenghai. If they didn’t, in his current state, he looked liable to collapse from sheer rage at any moment.

Meanwhile, Qin Tuo sat there as if nothing had happened, looking as calm and untroubled as a summer sky.

The sight of him made Liu Zhenghai nearly choke on his own rage and spit blood!

He felt incredibly wronged and wanted nothing more than to settle the score with Qin Tuo right then and there.

But he knew perfectly well that the blame for this incident ultimately lay with Wu Qihao and his partner.

After all, everyone had heard their conversation loud and clear. This was a scam, from top to bottom!

Liu Zhenghai couldn’t stomach the injustice. He was just about to order his men to go outside and intercept Wu Qihao and Qi Wuqi.

Just then, Wu Qihao and his partner walked back in.
