Chapter 269: Stripped Clean

"We're leaving!" the man from the Zhang family said coldly.

"Hold on!" the Middle-aged Man said. "Take the sword, and pay for the Spirit Stone!"

"I don't want the sword anymore. Give it to the person inside!" the man from the Zhang family said as he turned around.

The Middle-aged Man gave a cold smile. "That won't do. It's the rules of the Auction House: whoever wins the bid gets the item. Young Master of the Zhang family, please pay the Spirit Stone now!"

The man from the Zhang family clenched his fists tightly and said, "Give them the Spirit Stone!"

The two servants beside him walked up to the man from the Zhang family and whispered, "Young Master, we don't have enough Spirit Stones!"

"I don't have enough Spirit Stones. I'll pay you after I get more from home!" the man from the Zhang family said indignantly.

"Not enough Spirit Stones? How do I know if you'll even come back after leaving?" The Middle-aged Man sneered. "Strip them of their clothes and throw them out!"

"How dare you! I am a Young Master of the Zhang family!" the man from the Zhang family roared sternly.

The Middle-aged Man waved his hand, and several burly men immediately rushed forward, pinned the man from the Zhang family down, and began to strip off his clothes.

After the man from the Zhang family was thrown out, the Middle-aged Man walked into a room and bowed to the Middle-aged Man sitting on a chair:

"Family Head, it is done."

The Middle-aged Man laughed loudly, "Good!"

A Young Man stood behind the Middle-aged Man. The Young Man also smiled and said, "Father, the people of the Zhang family think too highly of themselves. They often rely on the Power of the Zhang family to force auctions in our Auction House.

Now that they've suffered a bit, let's see if they dare to do it again!"

The Middle-aged Man laughed. "Ever since the Zhang family became rivals with our Qu Family, there have still been people from the Zhang family reckless enough to come and cause trouble in our Auction House. I let it slide before, but now that they dare to come, not killing them outright is already giving the old Master Zhang some Face."

"The old Master Zhang is almost dead anyway; why do we need to give him Face? If you ask me, we should just charge into the Zhang family and wipe them out. Then we would be the overlords of Chenyang City!" the Young Man asked suspiciously.

"Old Master Zhang is not so easy to kill!" The Middle-aged Man waved his hand. "Even a rotting ship has three thousand nails; old Master Zhang's connections still exist. As long as he is still alive, we cannot make a move."

"Understood!" the Young Man said dismissively.

"Alright, I'm going back to rest. You keep an eye on the Auction House!" The Middle-aged Man waved his hand and said.

On the main street of Chenyang City.

"Mom, who are those people? Why aren't they wearing any clothes?" a little girl asked, pointing at the three people running wildly in the dark night.

The middle-aged woman beside her looked out and said, "Those people probably didn't have the money to buy clothes, that's why they aren't wearing any!"

The little girl nodded thoughtfully.

The man from the Zhang family ran wildly all the way until he reached the Zhang family mansion.

"Stop! This is the Zhang family mansion. Anyone who doesn't belong here, get lost!" Two guards stood at the entrance of the Zhang family mansion. Seeing three stark-naked men running over, they blocked them immediately and shouted.

"Presumptuous!" the man from the Zhang family shouted. "I am Zhang Wan, the Young Master of the Zhang family! Do you dare to block me?"

"It's the Young Master! It really is the Young Master!" The two guards looked at each other.

The man from the Zhang family immediately ran inside, and the guards did not block him again.

"Why is Young Master Zhang Wan not wearing any clothes?" a short guard asked.

The other guard replied, "How would I know? Maybe he was kicked out of bed by a woman."

"How miserable!" The short guard shook his head, pitying him.
