Chapter 92: 92: Caught Red Handed

As soon as he called out Ma Yuan’s name, the crowd gasped in disbelief. Moreover, the young man in crimson robe just wrecked Ma Yuan’s second son into pulps! Never in the thousands years history of the Ma Family had they been humiliated like this.

Meanwhile, Ma Yuan didn’t expect that Xiao Hûo was so powerful and could even defeat his son in just one kick to the belly. He couldn’t discern how Xiao Hûo survived Fragrant Grass Pill which has the opposite effect if consumed by a low level cultivator.

A month ago, Ma Yuan had a strong inkling that Xiao Hûo was involved in his youngest son’s death, Ma Jun. However, he couldn’t find any evidence that would lead to the young man. Everything about Xiao Hûo was shrouded with dark mist.

A Jade-grade appraiser who appeared out nowhere? Anybody would be suspicious of this young man.

Henceforth, he deliberately gave him Rare Fragrant Grass Pills to see if the young man could be fooled by a simple trick to test his ability. Furthermore, if he consumed the pills in the weakened state, his Qi would be depleted instead.

However, Ma Yuan clearly underestimated the young man’s cultivation and background. Not only was he a disciple of Tang Sect, his position was so high above the clouds compared to his mediocre son. He was baffled beyond measure by the time he found out that Xiao Hûo was the Grand Disciple of Tang Yigao!

Nevertheless, Ma Yuan must save his face from this humiliation. If he ought to come down and confront the young man directly, he would lose his face before fellow Core Formation Experts. His entire ancestors in the higher realm would laugh at him for another century if not millennia!

However, his youngest son’s soul would not be able to rest in peace if he didn’t do anything to avenge his son’s death.

Ma Yuan’s current cultivation stage was at Late Stage Qi Condensation Realm. On the other hand, the young man was only at Early Stage Qi Condensation. There was a considerable power gap between them. Ma Yuan was confident to kill this young man in one slap!

After a heavy deliberation, Ma Yuan opted to come down to the arena. No one made a noise. Not even a cricket dared to brush their wings as the air also froze as if the time stood still.

"How dare a dog challenge the honour of a dragon?!" Ma Yuan said. "Ungrateful brat. I gave you an Epic Rank Pill to heal your wound yet this is how you repay me?!"

"Oh, shut the fuck up, old fart." Ash sneered. "You think I am a fool?! You deliberately gave me Ultra-rare Rank Pills yet you claimed it as Epic Rank Pills?! Hmph! Shameless bastard. Who do you think I am?!"

"On top of that!" Ash continued. "You are the one who faked the rank of the Rainbow Steel Silkworm at the auction house a month ago! Good thing I was there that time, otherwise, the Zhou Family would have burned this city to the ground if they found out that their Young Lady was scammed."

Ma Yuan smirked wide. He really didn’t expect that the young man would accuse him in public. "Where’s the proof! I’m Ma Yuan! South Borough Chief Council! And the head of the Ma Family in this realm! My ancestors would not forgive this slander!"

"Here’s the proof!" Suddenly, a high pitched voice raised amongst the crowd.

Everybody soon shifted their gaze toward the beautiful, petite and slender seamstress who strode leisurely amidst the arena. In her hands, there was a Rainbow Steel Silkworm and an official letter from the Auction House.

Seeing the seamstress that he initially wanted to scam, Ma Yuan took a step back. Moreover, the residual aura that exuded from the letter’s gold seal was incredibly strong.

"Zhou Rui, what are you doing here?" Ash inquired. He clearly didn’t expect that she would come to the Colosseum.

She smiled merrily as she strode closer toward him.

"I’m here to clear up the mess that has been rampant in the market for the past years. Gosh, if it wasn’t for your contribution, the Zhou Family would have suffered a huge loss!"

"Could you please elaborate?"

"Here, read it out loud, so the people will know the audacity of Ma Family!" Zhou Rui handed the letter with a gold seal.

As the letter landed on his hand, Ash could feel the tremendous energy that was stored within the gold seal. Not only it protected the letter from the unwanted recipient, the seal also carried out the will of its writer.

Soon, Ash opened the letter, and a transparent image of an old, powerful master appeared from the characters of the letter. The voice of its writer reverberated, echoed far and wide.

[My name is Zhou Qing, Emerald Grade Appraiser of the Zhou Family. And the Head Principal of Zhou Bank. I hereby declared that the Rainbow Steel Silkworm that was brought by my niece, little Zhou Rui, was indeed an Ultra-rare Rank Immortal Beast, and not an Epic Rank. Any slander, defamation or harassment that is addressed to Xiao Hûo, our most valuable customer of Zhou Bank, regarding this matter, would receive a capital punishment from the Zhou Family. This message is signed and sealed by me, Zhou Qing.]

Everybody was in awe upon witnessing the golden aura that slowly shrunk back into the letter. Unmistakably, the writer of the letter was indeed a Golden Core Expert!

The murmurs soon soared high above the crowd.

"As expected from the Zhou Family. Even their mere Appraiser is a Golden Core Expert!"

"Compared to the Ma Family whose head was only Late Stage Qi Condensation, the Zhou Family could easily have trampled the Ma Family!"

However, Ma Yuan was still delusional about becoming the business tycoon in the Long River City.

"Hmph! I can’t accept this! This letter must be forged in some way! The Zhou Family must be using some cheap tricks to screw me over! This is unjust!"
