13 Auction(3)

After an intense bidding war, it is finally time for the last item.

"Everyone, after nearly 4 hours of auction, tonight's auction is nearing to its end. Only one final item is left for auction, and as everyone knows the final item for tonight's auction is the "White Tiger Seven Fists." as Red Lady said that her eyes sweep in all the VIP rooms.

As expected after she said what the final item is the whole audience silence. Everyone knows that the White Tiger Seven Fists was stolen. Everyone look at a certain VIP room, even though they cannot see who was inside that room. They know that it must be the room where the City Lord and Patriarch of the Bai Family is.

A staff walk in while holding a jade box with both hands and give it to Red Lady. The gaze of audiences was focus on the jade box, the whole auction house was quiet, you could even heard the breathing sound of the audiences.

Red Lady felt the looks of everyone in the jade box she is holding, the corner of her lips slightly rose, not keeping anyone is suspense she open the jade box.

Everyone see inside the jade box a white scroll tied with a red ribbon. Some people began to discuss among themselves, while other was just looking at the scroll.

"That really is the 'White Tiger Seven Fists' technique, I could feel the connection of my bloodline in that scroll" Bai Jie said excitedly as he stood up while looking at the scroll. He was shock because finally one of the technique that his ancestor created would be return to them.

"Father I could feel the same connection in that scroll, just like the connection I feel when i was practicing the technique of our family. Is that technique really created by our ancestor?" Bai Jun said to his father. he could also feel the familiar feeling in the scroll.

"Yes, that technique is created by our ancestor, but it was lost in the past. A slave merchant manage to obtain it and plan to return it to us, but as he was on his way to our city, a bandit group attack them killing everyone and looting everything they carry." reply Bai Jie. while he thought "If not because of that bandit attack this technique would already be in my hands. Why would I need to buy something that originally belongs to me"

"So it really belong to our family at the first place" Bai Jun replied understanding everything.

-----------------------------------------

White Tiger City was originally a small village, but because of his ancestors hard work the village grew large until they gain the recognition of the Empire to be a city. The Bai family was really the true ruler of the city, but as time passes many clan began to gain power in the city. Even though their Bai family have a hundred years of history, they still failed to keep their position as the strongest and sole ruler of the city. Standing equal or stronger to them was the Mo family, even though the Mo family was relatively new they were strong. Luckily for the Bai family the patriarch of the Mo family has only one daughter and no sons. That lead to both clan marrying each others child to acquire friendship with each other.

------------------------------------------

Finally when the people in the VIP rooms saw their objective in attending this auction, the looks on their faces concentrated in the white scroll. All of them have the same thought of taking this scroll.

Noticing the restlessness aura in the VIP rooms, Red Lady revealed a smile on her face then said, "This 'White Tiger Seven Fists' was entrusted to our Black Dragon Auction House by a guest. Our general manager already examine if this is really the lost 'White Tiger Seven Fists' and without a doubt this is the real technique. The starting bid for this technique is 30,000 spirit stones, and every bid should increase by 5,00 spirit stones. Now let the bidding begin."

"50,000 spirit stones" just after Red Lady finished speaking they heard a loud voice that came from one of the VIP room.

Hearing the bid Red Lady smiled, because of the sudden huge increase in the price she was sure this was not the end.

"I offer 70,000 spirit stones, I hope someone would give face to this old man and let me have it" said someone from the VIP room.

"Who are you to speak about giving face? You are just a nobody in front of this Young Master. This Young Master is a disciple of Black Iron Sect, I hope you guys would give face to this Young Master and not fight over for the technique. I bid 90,000 spirit stones" said a young voice arrogantly.

"What Black Iron Sect are you talking about huh. You are just a small sect how dare you talk about giving face. I am fighting for this item what can you do to me? My Thunder Temple bid 130,000 spirit stones"

While the other where arguing Ulquiorra whisper something to Qian Ru, feeling the hot breath on her ears Qian Ru's whole face become beet red as she listen to him. After his whisper Qian Ru showed a smile then she shouted, "This Young Lady offer 150,000 spirit stones. If you have money compete with me" everyone quieted down when they heard the lovely voice. They all looked at where the voice came from, everyone was sure that the Young lady was beautiful just judging by her voice.

As for Bai Yong when he heard the voice his face become grim, he looked at his father then said, "Lord father I am sure that, that voice belong to the woman who beat Pak Tai to death. Lord father what are your instructions"

"She already killed my men and scam my son, now she even dared to compete against us for this technique. It looks like this mortal does not know how to remain low key even joining this war. Just let her be, after this we will deal with them" Bai Jie said as he look where the voice came from with an angry face. He look at the white scroll the shouted "I bid 180,000 spirit stones. I hope everyone back off and give this city lord some face. This item originally belongs to our family, and I just want to reclaim it. I hope you guys understand"

The whole auction house quieted down, thinking that it really do belong to the city lord as it was created by his ancestor.

"What give face are you talking about? Why should this young lady give you face? who do you think you are? You are just some old bones that are waiting for your death to come. If you have the money, then compete against this young lady. I offer 200,000 spirit stones." Qian Ru shouted arrogantly, the faces of everyone in the auction house event some on the VIP changes they thought, "This lady really have the guts to compete against the city lord in his own city and the item that originally belong to them"

Some receive a helpless smile, while some sigh in what the young lady would later face for angering the city lord.

The faces of Bai Jie and his two sons turned red due to intense anger, especially Bai Jie's face. His face was so red that you could see smoke coming out of his ears.

Bai Jie look at where the voice came from the he shouted, "Good, good, good. Do you dare to say your name Young Lady, this city lord wants to talk to you after this auction"

When everyone heard what the city lord said they felt pity for the young lady. She would probably meet disaster when she meet this city lord.

"Yuck old man you are already an old cow, but you still want to eat young grass. Old cow you should feel ashamed of your self. You are now old so all you need to do is wait for your time to come. Why do you still want to eat young grass, old man you really are disgusting." Qian Ru replied.

Hearing what Qian Ru said, the whole auction house even Red Lady was shocked because of the sharp words that came out from the VIP room. They all look at the place designated for the city lord, there is an intense murderous aura coming from it.

Hearing the insult and being called disgusting, Bai Jie almost fainted from intense anger he is feeling right now. This was the first time that he had been insulted, and this was the first time he was this angry at someone. His eyes were practically burning as if his eyes would shoot out flames. Bai Jun and Bai Yong was scared because of the expression their father was showing. They knew that their father was really angry right now.

"Young lady you have a very sharp tongue, I just want to remind young lady that you are still in my city. It would be unfortunate if something were to happen to you while you are here." Bai Jie said as he force himself to calm down.

A threat, a blatant threat. Everyone know the meaning of the city lord in his words. He is threatening the other party.

When Qian Ru heard what the city lord said she smiled widely then said, "So what if I'm in your city? What can you possibly do to me? If you do not have the money to compete against this Young Lady you should just shut your mouth and never talk again"

"You are very good I just hope you don't regret whatever you said today, I offer 300,000 spirit stones. Now do you dare to compete against me?" Bai Jie said coldly.

"Hmph, so you have money in the first place, so why did you not just bid and started running your mouth. Hmph, this Young lady will not compete anymore. I don't even need that item anyway, take it as a gift from this young lady here" Qian Ru said seriously, but inside she was laughing non stop.

Beside her Ulquiorra was just smiling watching everything that happens.

When the crowd heard what she said they were stupefied, "Young Lady you are the one that provoked the city lord by competing for this item, you also called his old cow wan to eat young grass, you also called him shameless and disgusting. Now you want to back saying that you don't even need it. Then why did you bid at the first place" everyone complain in their hearts.

Bai Jie spat a mouthful of blood when he here what she said, he slammed his hand in the table beside him turning it to dust. This was the first time that he really want to kill someone. "First you kill my subordinate, second you scam my son and now you play with me. If I don't kill you today, my sill not be a member of Bai clan anymore." he thought as he grit his teeth with a mad face.

Bai Jie looked at his two son's then said "I want the two of you gather all the guards and wait at the front of the auction house. If what you(Bai Yong) said is true that they are mortal, I will let them know that offending the city lord is out of their capabilities as mortal. i will let them feel pain and despair they have never felt before. Now go!!"

"Yes, Father" "Yes Lord Father" reply by Bai Jun and Bai Yong as they exit the VIP room.
