The atmosphere in the room instantly became heavy with the woman’s words.
However, Yuan remained unaffected and calmly responded, "Is the Chaotic Sect so great that waiting five days is considered offensive?"
The woman’s face flushed red as she spoke, "Are you mocking our Chaotic Sect?!"
Yuan casually shrugged, "If you find everything that comes out of my mouth offensive, then let’s just stop here. I have other things to do."
Without waiting for a response, Yuan walked around them and toward the exit.
"Where the hell do you think you’re going?! We’re still talking!"
"We can talk in five days, or we can not talk at all. The choice is up to you," Yuan replied without stopping his legs.
"If you dare take a step through that door, you will regret it for the rest of your life," said the woman in a grim tone.
Yuan halted his steps and turned his head to look at her with slightly narrowed eyes.
"Are you threatening me? In that case, you can forget it. I won’t talk to the Chaotic Sect anymore."
"You impudent bastard! Have you forgotten where you are?! Not only are you in the Chaotic Sect’s territory, but you are also selling your Spirit Stone at our auction house!"
"So what you’re saying is, I should sell the Spirit Stone elsewhere? Am I hearing that correctly?"
"I’m going to kill you!" The woman shouted as her body surged with killing intent.
"Stop." The man finally stepped in and spoke, "Let’s all calm down a bit."
However, Yuan said, "Sorry, but you’ve stepped in a little too late. I have already made up my mind that I won’t speak with the Chaotic Sect. If you continue to pester me, I’ll even take back the spirit stone that will be auctioned in five days."
"That... would not be possible," said the man. "While I can look past the issue of not talking, I cannot let you take back the spirit stone, especially after all the advertisements we’ve done for it. If you take back the spirit stone and halt the auction, it’d cause tremendous damage to the Chaotic Sect’s reputation, and we’d have to stop you at all costs."
"If you don’t want such a thing to happen, then let’s end our conversation here."
The very next moment, Yuan left the room without any hesitation.
"Are we really going to let him go after all that?" The woman asked the man. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂
After a moment of silence, he spoke, "There are too many people here now. Let’s lay low until the auction is finished. We’ll take care of him afterward."
"Alright."
The man turned to look at Chen Cheng and said, "Unless you have a death wish, you will act like you heard and saw nothing today."
Chen Cheng was so terrified that he didn’t even dare to speak and silently nodded his head.
Meanwhile, after leaving the auction house, Yuan immediately left the city to bring Wu Qi back to his family.
"Senior... I don’t mean to be nosy, but why did you offend the Chaotic Sect? Nothing good will come out of it."
"Why? I didn’t like their attitude."
"That’s it?" Wu Qi was dumbfounded.
"Yes, that’s it."
"Aren’t you afraid that they might hunt you later?"
