Jiang Chen's calm yet commanding voice left everyone in the hall stunned.
The Moonscar Chamber of Commerce was the largest and most influential trading organization in the Great Xia Kingdom, renowned for its wealth and power. Holding even a bronze VIP order was a sign of prestige and status.
For Jiang Chen to look down on such a symbol of status, people could hardly believe his audacity.
"Haha! Jiang Chen, have you lost your mind?" Bai Zixuan sneered, his face full of disdain. "You claim I'm unqualified to flaunt my status? Can you even produce a Silver VIP Order from the Moonscar Chamber of Commerce?"
Jiang Chen remained expressionless. "I don't have a Silver VIP Order," he replied coolly, "but I can still make you leave this place!"
"Jiang Chen!" Bai Zixuan's fury flared. "Enough of your empty boasting! I'll soon show you who's getting thrown out today!"

At that moment, a deep and authoritative voice echoed through the hall. "What's going on here?"
The crowd turned to see an extraordinary-looking middle-aged man walking toward them. His dignified demeanor and commanding presence silenced the room.
This man was none other than Wu Jiannan, the president of the Moonscar Chamber of Commerce in Lingyun City.
"President Wu, you've come just in time!" Bai Zixuan wasted no time explaining, his tone laced with arrogance. "I came to purchase the Mystic Wind Essence Stone and Dragon Blood Ginseng. As a holder of your VIP Order, I have priority. However, this boy has been causing trouble. Please, have him removed!"
Wu Jiannan smiled faintly. "Young City Lord Bai, you're mistaken. At the Moonscar Chamber of Commerce, anyone who enters is considered a guest." He paused briefly, then added, "However, since you hold a VIP Order, you do indeed have priority. I'll have someone fetch the materials for you immediately."
As Wu Jiannan turned to instruct the attendant, a calm yet firm voice interrupted him.
"Wait."
The words stopped Wu Jiannan in his tracks. He turned to see Jiang Chen staring at him with an unyielding gaze.
"Do you have an objection, young man?" Wu Jiannan asked politely.
"Yes," Jiang Chen replied evenly. "The Mystic Wind Essence Stone and Dragon Blood Ginseng are mine. You cannot sell them to him."
Bai Zixuan scoffed, his disdain palpable. "Jiang Chen, you must have a death wish! Coming here to make trouble in the Moonscar Chamber of Commerce—who do you think you are?"
Jiang Chen's expression didn't change. "I told you before that I could get you thrown out of Yan Qingxuan's Qingxuan Residence. Today, I'll do the same and have you thrown out of the Moonscar Chamber of Commerce."
With those words, Jiang Chen reached into his robes and produced the Supreme Gold Order given to him by Yue Yangzhou.
He placed the token in front of Wu Jiannan and said with quiet authority, "President Wu, I'll ask you directly. Does this token give me the right to remove him from my sight?"
The moment Wu Jiannan's eyes landed on the Supreme Gold Order, his entire demeanor changed.
The Supreme Gold Order—a token that only the most prestigious figures in the entire Great Xia Kingdom could possess. Even Wu Jiannan himself, as the president of the Lingyun City branch, had only ever seen it once before.
Now, the young man standing before him held one in his hand.
Cold sweat began to bead on Wu Jiannan's forehead. He forced himself to remain composed, but the shock in his heart was immeasurable.
The Supreme Gold Order... This boy... Who is he?
