Chapter 121: Living up to expectations
Alistair shook his head. “I believe you were banished by the Beggar's Sect, no? What are you still doing here?”Conan let out a harsh, guttural laugh, spitting on the asphalt. "Banished? We were discarded like trash because of a nobody like you! Do you have any idea what life is like outside the protection of the Beggar's Sect? We'll have to crawl through the mud just to survive!”"Fortunately for us," Benjamin added, his eyes gleaming with a predatory light, "That fool Beggar John is too softhearted, he thought we would just need his words and leave. But of course, there's no way we would do that without dealing with you, the bastard responsible for our current predicament.”As he spoke, the other eight thugs began to brandish their guns, ready to shoot the moment Benjamin gave the word. Alistair couldn't help but be amused. “Only a fool would go as far as to blame someone else for the troubles they caused with their own hands.”“Who the hell are you calling a fool?! Courting death!
Chapter 120: Chased down
"It’s called Sword Intent," Alistair murmured, his voice steady. "This isn't just a broken sword. It’s the remains of a 'Heaven-Grade' soul-bound artifact. The blade was shattered, yes, but the Spirit within didn't die. It went into a deep hibernation to protect itself from the passage of time."He looked at Elizabeth, his gaze piercing. "With the right nurturing, this item can cut through anything I want it to."Elizabeth swallowed hard. To think she had not recognized it.Clearly, five million dollars for such an incredible item was a steal!Not even the Hidden Dragon had realized what they had. She wondered how they would feel learning that they had sold such an item for such a low price. They would surely be inclined to spit out blood, she thought with some amusement. Alternatively, she realized that she was foolish to have ever doubted Alistair's foresight.“Apologies, master. I failed to see what you saw.” Elizabeth said, even going as far as to bow her head in respect. “Do
Chapter 119: Inspecting his wins
Louis ended up not winning a single bid and left empty-handed. Now, all he could do was seethe in silence while glaring at Alistair, whom he felt was the source of all his problems. Seeing Louis glare at Alistair immediately set Elizabeth off. “Master, let me handle this,” Elizabeth said, fully prepared to walk over to Louis and teach him some manners. “Leave him. He isn't worth our time.” Alistair remarked. “Come, let's be on our way.” Albeit reluctant, Elizabeth ultimately did as Alistair instructed.They got into her car and soon went on their way.As for Louis, he took out his cellphone and dialed a number. “Yes, they just left. You'd best not mess this up. Good.” With that, the call ended and Louis glared hatefully at Elizabeth's car as it left the premises. “Just you wait.” He coldly remarked. Over in Elizabeth's car, Alistair had no idea what Louis was planning and honestly didn't care. There were more important things like the items he'd gotten at the Hidden Dragon.T
Chapter 118: A question deserving of an answer
Rowe gave a small, weary smile. "When a man of your... associations calls, one does not dawdle.”As he said that, the chairman recalled how merely two minutes ago, he'd received a call from Beggar John of the Beggar's Sect.Few would dare to disrespect the Beggar's Sect and get away with it and Chairman Rowe was not one of those people. Beggar John was the reason he'd rushed over immediately to deal with Ferguson.In truth, he had no idea who Alistair truly was.All he knew was that Beggar John respected Alistair greatly, and for that reason, Chairman Rowe couldn't afford to treat Alistair badly. Of course, his curiosity rose as he couldn't help but wonder about Alistair's identity. How did an ordinary man like him manage to gain the respect of a notable figure like Beggar John? It was a question deserving of an answer. Ultimately, he remarked. “If you don't mind, I would be more than happy to handle the rest of the transaction.”Alistair nodded. “That's fine.”Then, he gestured
Chapter 117: A friendly gesture
Ferguson's uncle was one of the Hidden Dragon's top archeologists, which was why Ferguson was even able to get the job working in the auction hall in the first place. To think that his own uncle would be aware of what was happening and not do anything to stop it. “Chairman, you can't do this. I have done no wrong!” Ferguson loudly remarked, crying out at what he perceived as an injustice. Chairman Rowe’s expression darkened. “You have done no wrong?”“Yes sir!” Ferguson retorted. Chairman Rowe nodded, then he gestured at the bodyguard holding the briefcase.The guard stepped forward, opened the case, pulled out a file, and handed it to Chairman Rowe.The chairman tossed the file at Ferguson.“Look through those documents and then tell me again if you've done no wrong.”Perplexed, Ferguson took the file and looked through the documents as instructed.With each document he went through, his expression worsened. Each one held evidence of all the times he had extorted clients of the
Chapter 116: Chairman Rowe
As far as Ferguson was concerned, Elizabeth had no choice but to pay up. One thing the rich cared for more than money was face.They would never allow their image to be ruined.So, to save the face of her family, Elizabeth would have no choice but to keel over and accept his demands. Just as he was about to apply some more pressure to Elizabeth, Alistair took out a cellphone and dialed a number. “Hello, yes, I got my hands on the primordial dew and another interesting item. However, it seems the Hidden Dragon has lost its integrity. Yes, that would be best.”With that, the call ended and Alistair glanced at Ferguson.“You have two minutes to stop this rubbish, otherwise, don't blame me for what happens next.” Alistair calmly remarked.A brief silence followed before Ferguson burst into mocking laughter.Ferguson’s laughter was loud and jagged, echoing off the obsidian table."Two minutes? Who did you call, the police? Or your parents, perhaps to ask for a bigger allowance? Boy, I d
