Stop pretending, I'm a security guard, a five-star general!

Hearing the slightly mocking tone in the other person's voice, Jiang Yao suppressed her anger and calmly said:

"I have already apologized, and I hope you will not take advantage of this."

Upon hearing this, Qin Yu immediately smiled.

"So, if you say that, I have to accept your apology?"

Jiang Yao frowned slightly.

"if not."

In her opinion, as the daughter of the Jiang family, apologizing to this young man was already a huge concession.

"Then I'd like to ask you this: if I were just an ordinary person today, would you still apologize to me?" Qin Yu asked with a half-smile.

"No," Jiang Yao replied without hesitation.

"We are both adults, why say such childish things?"

"This world is a dog-eat-dog world, where strength is paramount. If you have no value, why should others respect you?"

"Well said, well said."

Qin Yu clapped with a smile: "Since that's the case, then today I'll follow your principles and show you what true strength reigns supreme!"

The moment the words left his mouth, more than a dozen thick wooden vines burst forth from the ground.

"Hmph! You arrogant brat, do you really think I wouldn't dare to touch you!"

Jiang Yao's expression turned cold, and crimson flames instantly reappeared around her.

The atmosphere in the arena became tense once again, and the two were about to fight.

At that moment, Zhou Yunze quickly stepped in to smooth things over:

"Hey, we're all on the same side, there's no need to ruin our harmony over such a small thing."

However, the two remained unmoved upon hearing this.

Seeing that gentle persuasion failed, Zhou Yunze had no choice but to turn to Jiang Yao and reprimand her:

“Sister Jiang, I’ve said before that Qin Yu is someone His Majesty the Emperor wants to protect. If you touch him today, it would be tantamount to disobeying His Majesty!”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yao clenched her fists slightly, stared intently at Qin Yu, and finally relaxed her clenched fists, causing the flames around her to dissipate. She then coldly snorted:

"Kid, don't think that just because you're exceptionally talented, you can be arrogant and conceited. Remember this: a genius who hasn't fully matured is nothing!"

After uttering a harsh remark, Jiang Yao turned and left with a cold expression, entering the auction house.

Qin Yu watched the other person's departing figure without saying anything more, but his eyes narrowed slightly and a meaningful smile appeared on his lips.

"Brother Qin Yu, I have long admired your name. Meeting you today, I can confirm that you are indeed a hero among men, and I am filled with respect!"

At the same time, Zhou Yunze walked over to Qin Yu with a big laugh and greeted him warmly.

Everyone present gasped in surprise at what they saw.

There are very few people who can be treated with such respect by the Second Prince of the Great Xia Dynasty, who is of such high status.

Looking at Zhou Yunze, who was walking towards him with an enthusiastic expression, Qin Yu asked with a puzzled look:

"Have you heard my story?"

“Of course.” Zhou Yunze nodded with a smile: “Your story is legendary. I’ve always wanted to get to know you, but I never had the chance. Now, I’m finally meeting you in person.”

"Oh, then tell me all the stories you've heard about me?"

Zhou Yunze: "..."

Zhou Yunze's lips twitched involuntarily. I was just being polite, why did you take it so seriously?

"Hehe, Brother Qin Yu is quite humorous." Zhou Yunze chuckled dryly, then leaned close to Qin Yu's ear and whispered:

"There are too many people and too many eyes around here. Can we go inside and talk?"

Qin Yu glanced at the other person and silently held up five fingers.

Zhou Yunze was taken aback: "You mean you want me to wait for you for five minutes?"

“Wrong.” Qin Yu shook his head: “What I mean is, my time is very valuable. If you want to chat with me, you have to pay. Five million per minute.”

Zhou Yunze: ? ? ?

Five million a minute? Why don't you just rob a bank?!

Zhou Yunze's lips twitched. Although he had heard that Qin Yu was very abstract, he did not expect him to be this abstract.

However, seeing Qin Yu's greed for money put Zhou Yunze at ease.

After all, he was afraid that Qin Yu would be indifferent and unambitious, making him difficult to win over.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yunze chuckled and said:

"Spending a little money to have a good chat with Brother Qin Yu is not a bad deal at all. Let's go!"

As he spoke, Zhou Yunze put his arm around Qin Yu's shoulder, acting as if they were old friends, and walked into the auction house.

Once the two had completely entered the auction house, everyone felt the oppressive feeling that had been pressing down on them suddenly dissipate.

As expected, they truly are royalty.

The sheer presence she exudes is something that ordinary people can't match.

However, before everyone present could even breathe a sigh of relief, that familiar sense of oppression suddenly returned.

Ok?

Nima! ?

Come again! ?

Everyone present was dumbfounded when a row of luxury cars suddenly drove up from a distance and stopped in front of the auction house.

Immediately, a row of bodyguards in black suits got out of the car and lined up on both sides, creating an imposing scene.

They also wore a crown emblem on their chests.

Clearly, this is yet another member of the royal family present.

All eyes turned to the luxury car in the center, where the door slowly opened, and a young man in a silver suit with a dignified and imposing expression stepped out.

His gaze swept over everyone present, and an inexplicable, terrifying pressure caused them all to avoid meeting his eyes, silently lowering their heads, their hearts filled with dread.

The eldest prince, Zhou Yuntian, has also come!

Zhou Yuntian glanced around at everyone present, and when he didn't see the person he was looking for, he frowned.

"What about people?"

A guard with a sword hanging at his waist stepped forward, leaned close to Zhou Yuntian's ear, and whispered something.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yuntian's eyes narrowed sharply, a cold glint flashing within them:

"My second brother beat me to it! Where is he now? Take me there!"

"Yes!"

Then, under the awe-inspiring gazes of the crowd, Zhou Yuntian also slowly stepped into the auction house.

Auction house venue, VIP box number 3.

Zhou Yunze and Qin Yu sat on luxurious sofa chairs, while two pretty maids in cheongsams were making tea for them.

"Brother Qin Yu, try my Kunlun tea. It was just picked from the snow-capped peaks of Kunlun Mountain. Only one or two pounds are produced each year. It's exceptionally delicious."

Qin Yu picked up the teacup, downed it in one gulp, and shook his head.

"My assessment is that it's not as good as Coke."

"You want a Coke? We have one." Zhou Yunze looked at the maid beside him: "Quick, go get a Coke."

"Alright, alright." Qin Yu waved his hand. "No need for all this formality and politeness. Let's get straight to the point."

"Good, Brother Qin Yu is indeed a straightforward person." Zhou Yunze laughed and gave the two maids beside him a look. They understood and left the private room, closing the door behind them.

At this moment, only Qin Yu, Zhou Yunze, and a guard with a scar on his face remained in the large private room.

Zhou Yunze leaned close to Qin Yu's ear and whispered:

"Brother Qin Yu, let's not beat around the bush. The reason I've called you here today is to..."

Just then, the door was suddenly pushed open, and Zhou Yuntian walked in with a smile on his face:

"Second brother, what are you talking about? Let your elder brother listen in."
