Chapter 234: Chapter 233: The Wealth of the Pharmacist

"Not only do I want to watch, but later I’ll also... it’s all despicable work that serves others, but pleasing big brother can earn you more money than you can make in a year. Seize the opportunity and grasp it well. Don’t hold on to that laughable pride and offend people of our caliber."

"Really? What caliber might that be?" Qu Tong, with a smile on the corner of her lips, spoke words that were chilling to the bone.

However, Wen Zong, still immersed in his delusion, was utterly oblivious and proudly said, "Big brother is of a caliber you ordinary people will never reach in your lifetimes."

Some onlookers around them also began to murmur in astonishment.

Qu Tong was dressed simply, with nothing but a bracelet and a standard Optical Brain Bracelet on her person, without a hint of decoration.

In contrast, Wen Zong and his companion were dressed like upstart nouveau riche.

Visitors from E12 Star were either somewhat wealthy or powerful; nobody wanted to attract trouble. They also said big brother was a high-grade VIP in the black market—who would dare to stand up to him?

"Pah!" Mi Qiu was truly frustrated. Had it not been for the great distance, he would have long since summoned his people and beaten this nauseating person to a disabled state.

Security finally arrived late, led by Yu Yao herself.

Wen Zong and Chen Erhu showed no fear upon seeing them and even proceeded to scold them arrogantly:

"What are you doing eating your salaries for? You hire people with such poor service attitudes and allow them to insult customers. My big brother is a high-grade VIP of 4007—fire this person immediately and kick them out of the auction."

He then pointed at Qu Tong, "And her, send her to my room, and have her personally apologize to me."

He spoke while flashing his own room card for 3096.

However, not a single member of the security team moved; they all looked towards Yu Yao, who in turn was looking at Qu Tong.

Seeing this, Chen Erhu jumped out and berated, "Why aren’t you moving? Are you trying to cover for her? Do you believe we’ll complain about all of you as well?"

Yu Yao still did not move, and the onlookers started to wonder what was going on.

"Is this the attitude your auction house takes in handling situations?" Wen Zong grew increasingly dissatisfied.

Qu Tong, who had been silent, suddenly spoke, "It would be better to break his legs and throw him out."

Wen Zong and Chen Erhu looked at Qu Tong as if she were a fool, then burst into laughter.

Yu Yao responded, "Sorry, we don’t have that authority."

Wen Zong scoffed, "What nonsense are you talking? Who do you think you are? It’s a favor to let you off just because you have tender skin, and now you want to break my legs..."

Yu Yao frowned and interrupted, "I can only have people throw him out and permanently blacklist his family from the black market."

"What?" Wen Zong’s eyes widened, doubting his own ears.

The onlookers inhaled sharply, too. Being blacklisted was one thing, but to have the whole family permanently blacklisted was no small matter.

E12 Star had many good items, and not being able to attend auctions would mean they couldn’t hold their heads up among other clans.

Everyone began to speculate about the identity of the woman wearing the fox mask; she definitely wasn’t ordinary, otherwise, how could she command the famously fiery beauty of the auction house?

Qu Tong furrowed her brows and said reluctantly, "Fine then, hurry up."

It was indeed inappropriate to interfere with the rules here, in another person’s territory.

With a command from Yu Yao, the security guards surrounded them.

"What are you doing? My big brother is your high-grade VIP, don’t believe me? Send someone to ask." Wen Zong still hadn’t realized the severity of the situation.

The other lackeys also spoke out in defense, but to no effect.

Yu Yao looked at the men with disdain, "Do you know what identity Miss Jun holds? You’re probably unaware that even high-grade VIPs have levels."

"Take action!"

As Wen Zong was grabbed and dragged away, he finally realized the panic.

While resisting, he shouted for the other lackeys to find Lan Xingye.

Qu Tong, slightly disgusted, didn’t bother with what followed and went straight upstairs.

At the corner of the third floor, she ran into Rong Chengjue.

Rong Chengjue leaned casually against the railing, and as Qu Tong passed by, he said, "Do you need me to teach him a lesson for you? One potion will do."

Qu Tong glanced indifferently at Rong Chengjue, "No need, he’s not worth that much."

She would solve her own problems.

After returning to her room, Qu Tong sent Wen You a message: "Your brother Wen Zong may not be doing so well."

Wen You replied, "I’ve said it, he’s not my brother."

Wen You added, "What does it matter to me whether he’s doing well or not, better if he’s dead."

Wen You then asked, "What happened?"

It was only on the third message that Wen You remembered to ask the reason for the conversation.

Just as Qu Tong was about to reply, Wen You’s video call came through, which Qu Tong answered and switched to voice-only.

"Are you all right, Tong Tong? Did that bastard Wen Zong do something to you?" Wen You’s voice was anxious, with worry clearly showing.

Qu Tong chuckled lightly, with a hint of mockery, "I’m fine, it’s not about me, it’s about Ali."

Wen You seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, "Your friend is okay, right?"

"Yes, she is."

"Do you really not care whether Wen Zong lives or dies?" Qu Tong asked, her voice unnaturally calm.

No further explanation was needed, Wen You understood and replied seriously in an equally calm tone,

"No one likes the child of a mistress, even though they can’t choose to be born."

"He tried to push me into the river for my mecha when he was five, though he failed."

"Adults should be responsible for their own actions."

"Thank you for considering my feelings, Tong Tong, but there’s no need."

Wen You’s voice, as if passing through the optical brain bracelet, spread with warmth.

Qu Tong’s lips curled into a smile, "Okay."

After a while, Old Yuan came in, expressed his concern, and informed her of the developments.

Someone had sought out Lan Xingye’s help, but to no avail.

Old Yuan received the news and stepped in himself, rebuffing the other party so thoroughly they were left speechless.

Wen Zong and Chen Erhu were still outside, crying and pleading for mercy.

Additionally, the Lan Family members who came this time were only Lan Xingye and Lan Yuanhui, and they also brought a special-grade potion with them.

As night fell, the auction began with the sound of a gong.

The auctioneer was Yu Yao, a sexy and fiery black silk beauty who, upon taking the stage, immediately elicited a roar from many of the male attendees.

The highly anticipated auction was underway.

Yu Yao was very good at stirring emotions, seemingly familiar with every item up for bid, which led to a flurry of bids from both the upper and lower floors, with the bidding being bold and generous.

When a good treasure appeared, the price would double in a matter of minutes, often one bid barely placed before the next two or three jumped in to raise it.

Qu Tong occasionally bid on items she found interesting, but would give up once they exceeded her mental price point.

Old Yuan also followed suit and bid on a flying vehicle.

Qu Tong realized that Old Yuan had a flying vehicle collection obsession; anything related to flying vehicles, be it out-of-print design blueprints or precious manufacturing materials, he would contest for.

Out of curiosity, Qu Tong asked him how many flying vehicles he owned.

Proudly, Old Yuan immediately flipped out his customized space button used for storing flying vehicles to show Qu Tong, boasting, "These were all bought with the money I earned from selling potions when I was young."

Looking at the myriad of space buttons of various sizes in front of her, Qu Tong’s mouth twitched—it was only thirty or forty, she thought...

Midway through the auction, Old Yuan was called away by Emperor Changxin.

Qu Tong turned her head back to the auction where a servant stepped forward and whispered a few words to Yu Yao, which made her face change.
