Chapter 1740 Soothe My Wounded Heart

The crowd present was in an uproar; they could naturally see the warning in He Changsheng's words.

But this masked fellow in front of them completely disregarded Young Master He, directly doubling the price, which was clearly a provocation.

At the same time, everyone's gaze turned to He Changsheng, wondering how this Young Master would respond.

"I bid one hundred million!"

He Changsheng naturally couldn't lose Face, so he directly raised the price to one hundred million, then glared fiercely at Ye Bufan, "Kid, do you know the consequences of going against me?"

Everyone looked on intently, wanting to see how long this masked fellow could remain tough.

But to everyone's surprise, Ye Bufan directly shouted towards the stage.

"I protest! Someone is intimidating me and affecting my bidding! I request Jubao Pavilion to uphold justice for me."

Pfft…

The people present almost choked on their own saliva. They had thought this guy was so tough, but no one expected him to pull such a move.

He Changsheng was also a bit stunned, only then realizing that he was in Jubao Pavilion, and what he was doing was against the rules.

Sure enough, Luo Yudie's expression on the stage instantly turned cold.

She hadn't acted against He Changsheng before because his actions didn't violate any rules. If she had made a move, she would have been accused of a large establishment bullying customers, which would affect Jubao Pavilion's reputation.

But now that he had violated the rules first, once she had a hold, she wouldn't show any politeness.

"He Changsheng, what do you take my Jubao Pavilion for?"

Her voice didn't sound loud, but it carried endless killing intent. In an instant, a powerful Aura pressed down on He Changsheng, stifling him.

I…

He Changsheng only then realized what a big mess he had gotten himself into. Cold sweat instantly dripped from his forehead. Not to mention himself, even his He Family couldn't contend with a behemoth like Jubao Pavilion.

"I apologize, Pavilion Master. I lost control for a moment. I formally apologize to you here."

Although he was a profligate Young Master, he wasn't a fool. He immediately lowered his head and apologized, otherwise, even if Luo Yudie killed him, the He Family wouldn't be able to say anything.

"If there's a next time, don't blame my Jubao Pavilion for being impolite."

Luo Yudie snorted coldly, preparing to let the matter go. After all, the other party hadn't done anything too outrageous.

But just then, Ye Bufan directly stood up, "Pavilion Master, this guy just scared me! My heart is still pounding, and I'm afraid I can't continue participating in the auction!

I demand compensation! My injured little heart must be appeased."

Uh…

Everyone was stunned by his words. This guy was too shameless. It was clear that he was using Jubao Pavilion's authority to extort Young Master He.

Ye Bufan truly thought so. It's a fool if one doesn't take advantage of a good opportunity. He had just seen that Luo Yudie was using him to suppress He Changsheng.

Since that was the case, he naturally had to gain some benefits himself. He couldn't just be used for nothing.

Luo Yudie smiled charmingly, the coldness on her Face disappearing, making people feel as if they had instantly gone from winter to summer.

"Esteemed guest, your request is reasonable. So, how much do you think is appropriate for compensation?"

Ye Bufan casually extended a finger and said grandly, "It doesn't need to be too much. I'm not a stingy person either. He just used one hundred million to scare me, so just compensate one hundred million."

Uh…

Everyone present was stunned. To demand one hundred million just like that, was this guy insane from poverty?

He Changsheng almost spat out a mouthful of old blood. It had always been Young Master He extorting others. When had he ever been extorted like this?

"Kid, do you want to die?"

With his angry roar, Ye Bufan immediately fell back into his seat, feigning a dying appearance.

"I can't take it anymore! I'm scared again! It seems I can't come to a place like Jubao Pavilion anymore; they can't even protect the safety of their guests!"

After he finished speaking, the expressions of everyone present suddenly changed drastically.

His words seemed helpless, but in reality, they were extremely potent, instantly pushing Jubao Pavilion into the eye of the storm.

One must know that Jubao Pavilion valued its reputation the most. If it spread that they couldn't even protect the safety of their guests, who would dare to come here to bid in the future?

Luo Yudie's gaze instantly became sharp, "He Changsheng, are you unwilling to compensate?"

I…

He Changsheng was practically fuming. He never expected that he would encounter such a scoundrel today.

He really wanted to go up and tear off the other party's mask to see what kind of person could be so shameless.

Yet, this was Jubao Pavilion, which made him dare not act rashly, as he had already sensed the killing intent from Fu Haishan.

Just a few words had already angered Luo Yudie. If he were to make another move, he would probably be killed on the spot.

The other party's methods seemed roguish, but they were incredibly effective, directly tying the compensation to Jubao Pavilion's Face, leaving him no possibility of refusal.

Under duress, he could only suppress the anger in his heart and reluctantly said, "I'll compensate!"

After speaking, he flicked his finger, and a Storage Ring flew out.

Ye Bufan reached out and caught the ring. Upon scanning it with his Divine Sense, the gold coins inside were like a small mountain, indeed one hundred million.

"Not bad. With this compensation, my heart feels much better."

At this moment, he became lively again, and with a whoosh, he raised the bidding paddle in his hand: "I bid two hundred million."

Uh…

The people present felt their understanding being refreshed again and again. This guy had just taken one hundred million and immediately used it to bid. This was equivalent to taking someone else's money and then slapping them in the Face.

I…

He Changsheng's old Face turned liver-colored. Both sides were spending his money. Wasn't this like bidding against himself? Only he could experience such humiliation.

But if he withdrew, his Face would be completely gone.

Being suppressed by Luo Yudie just now was nothing; everyone knew Jubao Pavilion's identity and status, so it wasn't shameful to talk about it.

But if he was trampled by this masked little scoundrel, how could he continue to mix in Tianlang City?

Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth and raised his bidding paddle again: "One hundred ten million."

"Young Master He, you talk big, but your bid is a bit too stingy; it doesn't match your status!"

Ye Bufan's tone was full of mockery, and then he raised his bidding paddle again: "I bid two hundred million gold coins."

Now he was full of confidence. Even if he spent two hundred million to bid back this Medicinal Pill, he would at most give Jubao Pavilion a 20 million commission.

He already had one hundred million in his account, so no matter how he calculated it, he wouldn't lose money.

The other people present didn't know this. To raise the bid by one hundred million with an open mouth, they had never seen such a grand gesture before, and the entire venue was in an uproar for a moment.

You…

He Changsheng's eyes were spitting fire with anger, but he didn't dare to say a single harsh word, otherwise, the other party might cover his heart again and claim to be scared, and then he would have to pay compensation again.

The current auction was no longer just about the Medicinal Pill itself; it also concerned the He Family's Face.

He gritted his teeth and raised his bidding paddle again: "I bid three hundred million!"
