Urban Powerhouse: Chaos Supreme

”Later, give a proper apology to Lady Mu. With Young Master Fu speaking a few good words for you, at most you will be humiliated. Otherwise, you might really be beaten up—I heard that a little thug once flirted with Lady Mu, and he ended up being thrown into the river to feed the fish.”

Everyone delighted in Lin Mo’s misfortune as he had come in acting superior despite having nothing and clearly not valuing them. Now that he had offended Mu Wanqing, they naturally wanted to see him embarrassed.

”Apologize to her, when even the third-ranked figure in Han Country personally apologized to me? Does she have the right to demand an apology from me?” Lin Mo shook his head and sighed. These people’s perspectives simply weren’t on the same level as his.

As soon as he spoke, the others exchanged glances, as if they had heard some ridiculous joke.

Although Han Country was not a major nation, it had developed quite well with economic assistance from the United States. And now, Lin Mo was saying that a high-profile figure from Han Country had apologized to him, someone who represented almost the stature of the nation itself.

”Xiao Meng, your classmate, he…” Tong Ling said, clearly implying that Lin Mo might be out of his mind.

Zhang Mengmeng was also shocked, enough to fit an egg in her mouth with her cherry lips wide open.

Of course, she was different from the others; she knew Lin Mo would never lie. Whatever he said was true, but what exactly had Lin Mo done in the past six months?

”Men have their pride, which is quite normal, but perhaps you’re exaggerating a bit too much?” Fu Shengjie shook his head, ”Regardless of what you say, you just bid on a jade necklace. I wonder if you actually have thirty million for the Jia Family.”

Just then, a middle-aged man in a suit strode over and arrived directly in front of Lin Mo, bowing at ninety degrees, his face full of obsequious smiles:

”Mr. Lin, hello, I’m the manager of the Jia Family’s branch in Jiangbei, my surname is Chu.” Fu Shengjie, Tong Ling, and the others were stunned. The Jia Family was influential in Huaxia, and even Mu Chaosong from Jiangbei wouldn’t dare to easily provoke them. Even their parents would be courteous to Manager Chu from the Jia Family, but now that usually arrogant Manager Chu was bowing like a grandson before Lin Mo!

Lin Mo was indifferent, his expression unmoving.

”Mr. Lin, I have already wrapped the jade necklace that you bought, and Lady Duanmu said that anything Mr. Lin wants under a hundred million won’t be charged.”

After saying this, Manager Chu beckoned, and a woman behind him dressed in a cheongsam presented a finely crafted wooden box, which she opened to reveal a jade necklace inside.

Seeing the necklace from afar had not given a clear picture, but now up close, everyone could see the jade’s translucent and fresh natural essence, which made one feel mentally refreshed upon approaching it—clearly, it was no ordinary item.

”Xiao Wen, take this,” Lin Mo said tersely.

Liao Wen nodded and accepted the wooden box.

Manager Chu sighed in relief and smiled, ”Then I won’t disturb Mr. Lin any further. If there’s anything else you need, please just command me. I will take my leave now.”

After finishing his words, Manager Chu still bowed respectfully and backed away a few steps before turning to leave.

Fu Shengjie, Tong Ling, and others were once again dumbstruck, their faces expressionless, their minds completely unable to process.

Lin Mo, however, ignored them. As the last item was auctioned off, the auction came to an end. But the people in the auction seats did not leave; everyone was waiting.

Sure enough, in less than a minute, a group of people came out of the Tianzi Number One VIP box. Mu Wanqing had a very unpleasant expression, walking briskly like the wind accompanied by a group of stern-looking bodyguards; she truly had the air of a queen.

Mu Wanqing was indeed very angry. No one had ever dared to compete with her for things she wanted.

Upon seeing Mu Wanqing emerge, the audience instantly became spirited; this was the daughter of the King of Jiangbei, and the other’s background was unknown, but they knew they were in for a good show.

Fu Shengjie and Tong Ling, these second-generation rich from the Jiangbei circle, immediately turned pale, knowing that Mu Wanqing was truly angry.

”Give it to me,” Mu Wanqing walked up to Lin Mo and got straight to the point.

”Why should I?” Lin Mo looked at her with a mocking smile.

Mu Wanqing furrowed her willow leaf eyebrows forcefully, her beautiful face revealing a chill.

”Lady Mu had her eyes on that jade necklace first. You better hand it over quietly, or else...” Fu Shengxue, standing by, had a cold glint reflecting in his glasses.

”Bang!”

Just as Fu Shengxue finished speaking, he suddenly flew backward, leaving everyone stunned by the abrupt scene.

”Big brother,” Fu Shengjie reacted, staring wide-eyed at Lin Mo.

”When I’m speaking, it’s not anyone else’s turn to interrupt,” Lin Mo said coldly.

Mu Wanqing’s expression violently changed, and the rest of the bodyguards were also stunned. Fu Shengxue was one of Mr. Mu’s most capable subordinates, personally trained by Mr. Mu himself and a skilled fighter, yet now he’d been kicked flying and wasn’t getting up.

Lin Mo then turned his gaze to Mu Wanqing, who suddenly felt as if a mountain had pressed down on her, her body uncontrollably stiffening, then she dropped to her knees with a thud.

”Lady Mu, is it?” Lin Mo glanced at her, then huffed lightly, turned around with Liao Wen, and walked toward the auction house entrance.

”Lady!” The other bodyguards exchanged looks, unsure why Mu Wanqing kneeled.

Mu Wanqing’s white hands clenched into fists, fury burning within her chest, her eyes flaming with rage as she stared at Lin Mo’s receding figure. She knew it was all Lin Mo’s doing; when had she, Mu Wanqing, ever endured such humiliation, especially on her father’s well-established territory?

”I will definitely have my revenge,” Mu Wanqing bit her silver teeth, vowing silently to herself.

Tong Ling, Fu Shengjie, Zhang Mengmeng, and others stood dumbfounded in place, watching Lin Mo and Liao Wen leave the auction scene.

”Big brother, are you alright?” Fu Shengjie hurried over, trying to help Fu Shengxue up.

”Step aside.”

Little did he know, Fu Shengjie pushed him away, his eyes coldly fixed on Lin Mo’s departing figure, wiping the blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. Being the eldest young master of the Fu family and Mr. Mu’s top general, he had never suffered such a defeat.

Even more so in front of Lady Mu, this was a humiliation he couldn’t swallow.

”Lady, should I send someone right now...”

Fu Shengxue’s eyes held a trace of cold intent, his meaning clear. Although Lin Mo was a martial arts master, they were all armed; no matter how skilled his martial arts were, he would still fear the anti-martial bullet.
