Chapter 152

Demon Eye supported An Dong originally, and it could be said that he was An Dong's greatest ally. But now, An Dong lost everything and Phantom took his place. Having lost both his right-hand man and his two great followers, Nightmare and Tiger Nian, Demon Eye had proclaimed several times that he was going to teach Yue Yang a lesson. He would make Yue Yang understand that even a powerful dragon cannot crush a snake in its old haunts. The attitude of the two other leaders, Mountain Elf and Blood River, was completely the opposite. They have indicated on various occasions that they would welcome Titan with open arms

Ma Long the Underground City Master took a neutral stance.

Since Phantom wasn't interested in fighting with him to take over as the next City Master of the Underground City, Ma Long didn't feel threatened.

Moreover, Ma Long had plans to acquire the arena and had sent men over to negotiate with his subordinate, the Toad Merchant, and Yan Zheng the housekeeper. They were only left with deciding on the final price, so if Phantom and Demon Eye were to really fight against each other, Ma Long might side with Yue Yang.

Although the Villain City was prosperous, Yue Yang didn't care about it as these were all nothing to him.

"Master, this way please." The fat Jia De welcomed Yue Yang eagerly. Yue Yang had also changed his clothes, he wore blue pants made of the skin of beasts. On his upper body, he wore a red T-shirt with a black hoodie jacket. Some words were written on the T-shirt which he specifically told to wrote: 'I don't give a F**k'. Not only that there was a picture of a dragon on his jacket's back which was red in color and was covered in blue flames, same as his Nirvana Flames.

When Jia De first saw Xia Yi in a smart policewoman uniform, he almost didn't recognize her as he thought Mr. Phantom had gotten a new beauty. It was only on closer look did he realize that it was Xia Yi who always picked a fight with his master, Yue Yang, all the time.

Seeing Jia De opening his mouth wide in shock, Xia Yi couldn't help but to feel pleased.

After jumping down from the carriage, Yue Yang proceeded to the auction house.

There was an unwritten rule in the auction house that weak Merchants and Warriors were to reach the place early to greet the Rankers who would arrive later. Of course, those who were in a rivalry with each other would not abide by it.

Forget about the merchants around the auction house, even those of high status sitting in the private boxes waved their hands through the windows to show their respect.

As Yue Yang was an Innate Ranker who could kill Nightmare and Tiger Nian, he could possibly be one of the four leaders of the Thunder Fortress in the future. Hence, they had to forge some kind of relationship with him first.

When Yue Yang entered the VIP private box in level 2, a few people started to buzz around.

Their discussions were all surrounding Yue Yang's mysterious identity, looks, and strength.

Soon after Yue Yang entered the auction house, the City Master of the Underground City, Ma Long, Mountain Elf, and Blood River who were part of the three leaders arrived not long after. Chong Ni did not come, making Demon Eye the one with the highest power. He arrived at the latest to show that he was of the highest status.

Demon Eye waved to Mountain Elf, Blood River, and Ma Long individually, showing that he was magnanimous Ranker.

However, he didn't wave to Mr. Phantom who was of equal status as the trio. He acted as if he had never heard of him. Everyone watched secretly, anticipating seeing a good show.

"Ha, boss Demon Eye, please allow me to introduce someone to you. The man who replaced An Dong as the new owner of the Western Wind Mine is also here. Do you want to see him and extend our welcome to him as the leader of the Thunder Fortress?" Mountain Elf was a scrawny man with a skinny build, and he had long arms with sunken eyes. However, all these weren't apt exemplifications of his power. He was actually on par with Demon Eye in terms of strength.

"Indeed, Mr. Titan is someone who deserves our respect." Blood River also agreed.

Demon Eye knew that Mountain Elf and Blood River did it deliberately to sow discords between him and Mr. Phantom so that their relations would worsen under the public eye. With a small hmph, Demon Eye pretended to be amicable as he laughed. "I didn't know that Mr. Phantom is here, if not I would have welcomed him warmly. With regards to him replacing An Dong, I have heard of it from my assistant."

In the end, he still didn't acknowledge Yue Yang as he walked into his VIP private box laughing.

Everyone looked towards Yue Yang.

"Jia De, as a junior, shall we send some gifts over to our senior? Get the firewood at the corner and give it to the leader Demon Eye as a form of respect." Upon hearing what Yue Yang said, everyone was stunned. Sending a gift over? Using firewood as a gift? What does it mean?

"Wh-what does this mean?" On the auction house below, Jia De handed firewood over to Demon Eye's follower respectfully, making Demon Eye's follower completely incensed.

"My master had said that in his homeland, a man worthy of jewels will be given jewels, while a useless man worthy of firewood will be given firewood. We think that the most suitable present for your master is this firewood!" Jia De decided to risk it all. He knew that with the words that he said if Demon Eye wasn't killed then he would be the one who will die.

"I'm going to kill you... " The follower was even angrier.

"Stop. I will take the firewood, and help me relay to Mr. Phantom that this firewood could be put into good use to beat up dogs in the future!" Demon Eye poked his head out from the window and smirked.

"It's a good thing to receive gifts. I didn't even receive any!" Blood River laughed as he tried to clear the awkwardness in the air.

He looked at Mountain Elf as they nodded discreetly.

The rest of the crowd felt that there would be more dramas coming up in the future and was contemplating on whose side they would support.

The auction began on a rivalrous note.

As the Toad Merchant Jia De had already declared war openly, he wasn't polite to Demon Eye's followers as he competed to bid for every single item Demon Eye's followers wanted to take down.

Yue Yang had already authorized Jia De to do so, but Jia De didn't really want those items. He merely wanted to make Demon Eye's followers pay more. He only had to buy specific items.
