The auction house manager curiously voiced his question, but it seemed as if everything was under Ye Chen's control; he just chuckled with a "heh heh" laugh.
"Could it be that you don't know who is behind the auctioning of the Yuan blue-and-white porcelain? With his strength, he simply couldn't confront him, so he didn't dare to make a move against him. The only one he could act against was this unknown young man, because, in fact, there are very few people who know him."
"So you're saying he just wanted to casually take a collectible and then return it first as payment? Is it only in such a scenario that he could temporarily gain the trust of those people?"
"Right, that should be the idea."
"It's outrageous, preying on the easy targets. He probably never expected that the person he robbed actually has a stronger background and more influential connections than the others."
