The man in the gorgeous white suit frowned, with a hint of anger in his eyes.
His finger was like a sharp sword, pointing directly at Zhuge Lan and Dugu Bo, and he shouted angrily:
"Humph, you two guys, you really dare to show up at this auction! Today is really a narrow road for enemies to meet!"
Zhuge Lan looked bewildered. He raised his hands, made a gesture of surrender, and said quickly:
"Hey, hey, hey, brother, did you recognize the wrong person? We don't know you."
There was a hint of helplessness in his voice.
The man snorted coldly:
"Your Mo family competed with us for that dazzling emerald at the auction last year. In the end, your bid was not as high as ours and you couldn't win the bid. You even dared to use tricks and hired strong men to intercept us outside the auction site. Humph, don't think we don't know!"
Dugu Bo also frowned and said:
"What are you talking about? We really don't know you."
His voice was deep and powerful, with an unquestionable majesty.
The man in the gorgeous white suit said angrily:
"Of course you don't know me, because it wasn't me who came last year, but someone from our White Elephant Family. Don't even think about making excuses! The man you hired has been defeated and captured by us. He has confessed to us that he was hired by your Mo Family!"
Zhuge Lan thought to himself, this is trouble.
His mind was racing as he thought of a countermeasure.
Only then did he remember that the invitation was given by the man in the crimson robe who had been outside the auction venue.
In that case, the man in the crimson robe should be the member of the Mo family that this person mentioned.
only……
Now he and Dugu Bo attended the auction instead of that person.
Just as Zhuge Lan was thinking about how to explain it to him, a staff member noticed the noise coming from the VIP room. He walked over quickly and said to the man in the white suit:
"Sir, please don't make trouble here. The auction is about to start. Please return to your seat."
The man glared at the staff and said:
"They are both my enemies. I can't let them go like this."
The staff said:
"If you have any disputes, you can resolve them after the auction. Now please don't disturb other guests."
The staff member's tone was firm but calm as he tried to persuade the man to calm down.
However, the man was unwilling to listen to the staff's advice.
His eyes flashed with anger. He stared at Zhuge Lan and Dugu Bo and said angrily:
“No, I can’t wait until the auction is over to resolve this. They might take the opportunity to escape, and I have to resolve this issue now.” The man’s voice was full of determination, and his attitude was tough, making it difficult to refute.
However, the staff did not give in:
"Sir, this is an auction. I have the right to ensure that the auction proceeds in an orderly manner. If you insist on disrupting the order, I have the right to deprive you of your eligibility to participate in this auction and ask you to leave the auction venue!"
Hearing the stern tone of the staff, the man in the gorgeous white suit restrained himself. He once again stared at Zhuge Lan angrily and said:
"Just wait and see, I will never let you go."
Zhuge Lan looked at the angry eyes of the man in the gorgeous white suit and knew in his heart that he must explain it as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.
He took a deep breath and spoke slowly:
"Brother, please don't get excited. Let me explain. We are really not from the Mo family. You really misunderstood!"
The man's eyes widened with anger and he snorted coldly:
"Humph, you still want to quibble? Do you think I'm a fool?"
Zhuge Lan waved his hands quickly and said sincerely:
"Brother, we are indeed not from the Mo family. This is the first time I've heard of the Mo family or the White Elephant family you mentioned."
Dugu Bo also nodded and said in a deep voice:
"That's right, we have nothing to do with the Mo family. If you don't believe it, you can go and investigate our identity."
The man narrowed his eyes slightly and questioned:
"Nothing to do with it? Then why did you get the invitation letter from the auction to the Mo family? And why were you arranged to be the VIP guest of the Mo family?"
Zhuge Lan quickly explained:
"This invitation was given to us by a man in a crimson robe. We didn't know his identity at the time. Now that I think about it, it was all caused by this black card! He should be the one from the Mo family you mentioned. But we were really dragged into this dispute innocently."
The man frowned, thought for a moment and said:
"Even if you are not from the Mo family, your presence here now cannot escape responsibility."
Zhuge Lan said helplessly:
"Brother, we were also kept in the dark. We had no idea what was behind this invitation. If he had known there would be such trouble, he would have given me this black card and said it would be useful at the auction. I would have known that it was a VIP treatment."
The man was silent for a while, as if trying to judge the truth of Zhuge Lan's words.
Then he asked:
"Who are you then? What is your purpose in coming to this auction?"
Seeing that the man's attitude had softened, Zhuge Lan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
He explained slowly:
"The story is like this. The two of us are just ordinary practitioners. We came to the auction this time to find some treasures that can help us. Then, we found someone selling fakes outside the auction. We helped a fool who bought fakes and helped him get back the money he was cheated of. To express his gratitude, he gave us this card, saying that it would be useful to enter the auction. Then we came here with this card, but we didn't expect to encounter something like this."
Dugu Bo also continued:
"We have nothing to do with the so-called Mo family, and we don't want to get involved in your disputes. We just want to attend the auction quietly and find what we need. But if you still insist on disturbing me, don't blame me for being rude to you."
The man still had some doubts and said:
"I can't believe everything you say unless you can provide evidence to prove your identity."
Zhuge Lan was in a dilemma and said:
"We don't have anything that can directly prove our identity, but we can assure you that everything we say is true. If you don't believe us, we can wait until the auction is over and you can prove it however you want."
The man snorted coldly:
"Wait until the auction is over? Who knows if you guys will take the opportunity to slip away."
Dugu Bo was a little impatient:
"If you keep wasting time here, don't blame us for being rude. We don't want to cause trouble, but we're not afraid of it either!" (End of this chapter)
