Chapter 271: Ziyun Auction House Robbed

Zhang Wan looked at the Middle-aged Man in front of him, his anger instantly flaring up.

It was this Middle-aged Man who had sent people to strip him bare; he had dreamed of taking revenge.

"Seize him!" Zhang Wan said in a low voice.

The Martial Artist nearby nodded, stepped forward, and pinned the Middle-aged Man down.

"I am a steward of the Qu Family, an important member of the Qu Family! You cannot kill me! If you kill me, the Qu Family will surely avenge me!"

The Middle-aged Man, pinned down, instantly lost his backbone and shouted loudly.

Zhang Wan walked in front of the Middle-aged Man, drew his sharp sword, and stabbed it forward with hatred, piercing the still-clamoring Middle-aged Man to death!

Having taken his revenge, Zhang Wan instantly calmed down.

"Take the items and let's go!" Zhang Wan had gotten his revenge and seized the items; if they didn't leave now, when would they?

"Go!" With a low roar, the group quickly left Ziyun Auction House.

The Martial Artist who had been hiding in Ziyun Auction House saw the thieves leave and immediately ran towards the Qu Family residence.

"Oh no, oh no! Ziyun Auction House has been robbed!" Before he even reached the Qu Family residence, the Martial Artist shouted loudly.

"What! Ziyun Auction House was robbed?" The guards at the gate were shocked and hurriedly stopped the Martial Artist to ask for details.

Upon learning that Ziyun Auction House had been robbed, the two guards felt as if the sky was falling and hurriedly rushed into the residence to report it.

The Qu Family Head had just gone to sleep when he heard a commotion outside and asked, "What happened outside?"

"Judging by the shouting outside, it seems like something was robbed!" the guard at the door said.

The Qu Family Head hurriedly put on his clothes, intending to investigate. Just then, a Servant ran in and shouted:

"Master, it's bad! Ziyun Auction House has been robbed!"

"What! Someone dared to rob Ziyun Auction House?" the Qu Family Head exclaimed in shock.

Ziyun Auction House was their most profitable business, bringing in gold every day. To think that such a major incident had occurred now.

One had to know that most of the items inside Ziyun Auction House were entrusted to them by customers for auction. Now that the items were lost, how would they explain it?

They had lost both their reputation and Spirit Stones; this was a catastrophe.

"Let's go!" The Qu Family Head immediately finished dressing and rushed towards Ziyun Auction House.

Ziyun Auction House was already surrounded by City Guards, and it was brightly lit.

"Do you know who did this?" The Qu Family Head arrived at Ziyun Auction House and asked the Martial Artist responsible for guarding it.

"This one does not know who it was! They were all wearing night-traveling clothes; they came quickly and left just as quickly!" a Martial Artist stepped forward to answer.

The Qu Family Head rubbed his temples and began to ponder.

"Father, could it be the Zhang Family?" A Young Man walked up to the Qu Family Head and whispered.

The Qu Family Head stood up and paced back and forth in the room.

"Yes, the Zhang Family!" the Qu Family Head said. "You must insist that it was the Zhang Family, do you hear me?"

"We hear you!" the Martial Artists looked at each other and said.

"You may leave! Tomorrow morning, come with me to the City Lord's Mansion!" the Qu Family Head said.

"Does Father know it was the Zhang Family who did it?" The Young Man asked after the Martial Artists had left.

"I don't know!" the Qu Family Head said. "However, don't you think this is an opportunity? An opportunity to take control of Chenyang City?

Since our Ziyun Auction House was robbed, the prime suspect should be the Zhang Family. Now that our Martial Artists insist it was the Zhang Family, we can legitimately search the Zhang Family!

If we find something, the Zhang Family will have to compensate us. If we don't, the Zhang Family will still lose Face.

Furthermore, we can claim the moral high ground!"
