The sudden rumbling interrupted the ongoing auction, and all eyes turned towards Lin Feng.
The crowd at the auction house frowned slightly. What was happening? How could there be a disturbance in the VIP area?
Many people had come with Lin Feng and, seeing the stone table on the pavilion smashed to pieces, couldn't help but glance over, realizing that this fellow was not someone to be trifled with. He was assertive, not only causing a scene at the Prison Fight Arena but also showing no restraint here at the auction house.
The most surprised were the few people beside Lin Feng. The girl, who had covered her face, moved her hand away and saw the stone table turned to powder. She couldn't help but tremble, not knowing what to feel.
Someone had actually caused a commotion at the auction house, disregarding all consequences, all for her sake.
The people from the auction house were also startled by Lin Feng's actions. Lin Feng asked the man to repeat himself, and as his words fell, there was a resounding boom, making his heart tremble.
Staring at Lin Feng, his eyes narrowed, revealing a trace of coldness.
However, Lin Feng didn't care about his gaze at all, indifferently stating, "I brought the Crimson Flame Demon Lion to this auction house for auction, as your distinguished guest. Yet, is this how you treat your guests?"
"The Crimson Flame Demon Lion!" The crowd's eyes narrowed. He was the one who had just brought the Crimson Flame Demon Lion here for auction.
Many who were unaware of the situation felt a slight tremor in their hearts. The Crimson Flame Demon Lion held great allure for them.
However, they were all curious. It was normal for Lin Feng to be treated as a distinguished guest when he brought the Crimson Flame Demon Lion for auction. So why was he being humiliated?
"Like any other guest of yours, I have never provoked him. He offended me first. Without distinguishing right from wrong, just to appease his anger, you are willing to offer my people to him for compensation, to let him vent his anger. You didn't even ask for my opinion. You even stared at me angrily. Is this how your auction house treats me? Where should I put my face? Do you think I can only sell the Crimson Flame Demon Lion through your auction house?"
Lin Feng questioned, standing up and saying, "If that's the case, I'll take back my auction item. I can't afford to be your distinguished guest."
Everyone heard Lin Feng's words clearly. Looking at the girl beside Lin Feng and the cold young man not far behind, they instantly understood the situation. It was Young Master Meng from the Meng family. No wonder the people from the auction house didn't want to offend him.
However, this man seemed to be behaving unethically. Treating Lin Feng with such disrespect, how could Lin Feng not be angry? This kind of behavior was undoubtedly an insult to Lin Feng, a slap to his face. Anybody would be furious in his shoes.
The people from the auction house were stiff-faced, their gazes flickering. This bastard...
He didn't know that Lin Feng's auction item was the Crimson Flame Demon Lion, nor did he anticipate such a strong reaction from Lin Feng, causing such a scene. Now, with Lin Feng holding the moral high ground, he had no way to argue.
Just then, a figure flashed and appeared in the VIP area. It was the elder Lin Feng had seen backstage.
"Sorry for our mishandling of the situation," the elder said apologetically to Lin Feng.
"Sorry, is just one apology enough?" Lin Feng said coldly.
A cold light flashed in the elder's eyes, and he turned into a blur.
"Smack!" There was a crisp sound, and the crowd saw a figure being slapped away by the elder, the one who had been coldly staring at Lin Feng and had asked the girl to serve Young Master Meng earlier.
"Useless trash," the elder said coldly. This fellow hadn't learned any other skills, but he had a pair of dog eyes. Although Young Master Meng's status was noble, Lin Feng was also considered a guest of the auction house. By treating Lin Feng like this in front of everyone, where would Lin Feng put his face? Lin Feng, how could he not be angry? If this escalated, they would have to clean up the mess at the auction house, truly brainless.
The man got up, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his face extremely unsightly. He glanced at Lin Feng with a murderous intent, but at this moment, he didn't dare to say a word.
"Apologize again," the elder coldly ordered. The man's gaze stiffened, but seeing the elder's icy eyes, he couldn't help but tremble and said to Lin Feng, "I'm sorry."
"Thought your eyes were so bright, but in the end, you're just a pair of dog eyes," Lin Feng couldn't help but hear the maliciousness in the man's tone, coldly mocking, saying, "Get lost."
"Haven't you heard? Hurry up and leave," the elder scolded. The man's chest burned with anger. He looked at Lin Feng maliciously, then turned and left. At this moment, his desolation was in stark contrast to his previous arrogance.
Seeing him leave, the elder smiled apologetically at Lin Feng and said, "Is this handling satisfactory?"
Lin Feng glanced at the elder and then pointed to the girl in front of him, saying, "She has been humiliated because of me, disgraced by a beast. I asked for her from your auction house. You won't refuse, will you?"
"Of course, she will be yours from now on," the elder glanced at the girl and said lightly. This woman was lucky. She met Lin Feng. They didn't lack maids like her at the auction house. Giving her to Lin Feng was nothing. They just needed to train another person to replace her.
Lin Feng nodded slightly, satisfied. He said, "Lastly, since I am in the VIP area, I hope the VIP area looks like one, not like a place where beasts can roam freely."
As Lin Feng's words fell, the young master Meng behind him narrowed his eyes sharply. It seemed that Lin Feng had insulted him as a beast more than once.
The elder pondered Lin Feng's words for a moment, then looked at the young man and said, "Young Master Meng, this is the auction house. I hope you can give us some face. Please don't cause trouble here. After the auction is over and you leave the auction house, if you still want to cause trouble, we won't interfere, of course, we won't be able to."
The young man's eyes were particularly gloomy, nodding indifferently. His gaze fixed on Lin Feng, with a hint of coldness. After leaving the auction house, Lin Feng's life and death would be up to him. Let him live a little longer.
"Thank you for understanding, Young Master Meng," the elder said lightly. Then, he said loudly, "I hope everyone else can follow the rules of the auction house. Well, enough said, let the auction continue."
After speaking, the elder glanced at Lin Feng and then disappeared from the area.
Watching the figure disappear, Lin Feng sneered inwardly
. How could he not hear the elder's implied words? Clearly, he was reminding Young Master Meng that after the auction ended, he could casually deal with Lin Feng. Obviously, causing trouble at the auction house had upset the other party, but because this was the auction house, he had to suppress the conflict.
However, once out of the auction house, what could Young Master Meng do to him?
"Sir, thank you," the girl beside him looked at Lin Feng with deep gratitude in her eyes. She understood that Lin Feng had requested her from the elder, considering that if she remained an auction house servant, her fate would be miserable.
Lin Feng had rescued her from the fire pit.
"It's just a small favor, no need to thank me," Lin Feng said indifferently.
However, the girl shook her head, disagreeing with Lin Feng's words. This young man with the silver mask was not simple.
He seemed arrogant, but he was actually very thoughtful. That fierce blow, smashing the stone table, was clearly done to attract attention and escalate the situation so that the auction house had to step in.
But the girl didn't think so much. She was grateful to Lin Feng. Regardless, Lin Feng had done all this for her. Offending that noble youth and the auction house for her sake, otherwise, Lin Feng could have ignored her and let her be sent to the young man, suffering humiliation.
Before, the auction house had treated her as a slave, as a tool. If she hadn't been beautiful, she wouldn't have had any value to them. She had never received any respect.
But Lin Feng treated her like this, did so many things for her. From now on, she was Lin Feng's person, wholeheartedly loyal.
This was something Lin Feng had never expected. He had only acted according to his conscience.
The girl had offended that noble youth for him. Lin Feng could not bear to see such a beautiful woman fall into the hands of others and be humiliated.
