The man in the white luxurious suit frowned, a hint of anger in his eyes.
His finger, like a sharp sword, pointed directly at Zhuge Lan and Dugu Bo, as he roared,
"Hmph, you two, you actually dared to show up at this Auction! What a small world it is today!"
Zhuge Lan looked bewildered, raising both hands in a gesture of surrender, and quickly said,
"Hey, hey, hey, brother, have you perhaps mistaken us for someone else? We don't know you."
His voice carried a hint of helplessness.
The man snorted coldly,
"Your Mo Family competed with us for that dazzling emerald at last year's Auction, and in the end, your bid wasn't as high as ours, so you couldn't win it. Yet, you dared to resort to petty tricks, hiring strong individuals to intercept us outside the Auction hall. Hmph, don't think we don't know!"
Dugu Bo also frowned, saying,
"What are you blabbering about here? We really don't know you."
His voice was deep and powerful, carrying an undeniable authority.
The man in the white luxurious suit said furiously,
"Of course you don't know me, because it wasn't me who came last year, but others from our White Elephant Family. Don't even think about trying to argue your way out of this! The person you hired has already been defeated and captured by us, and he has confessed to us that it was your Mo Family who paid him!"
Zhuge Lan secretly thought, 'This is bad, this is troublesome now.'
His mind raced, considering how to deal with the situation.
He then remembered that the invitation was given by the Crimson Robed Man who was outside the Auction hall earlier.
So, that means the Crimson Robed Man should be the person from the Mo Family that this man is talking about.
It's just that...
Now, he and Dugu Bo had replaced that person to attend the Auction.
Just as Zhuge Lan was thinking about how to explain to him, a staff member also noticed the commotion in the VIP room. He quickly walked over and said to the man in the white suit,
"Sir, please do not cause trouble here. The Auction is about to begin, please return to your seat."
The man glared at the staff member and said,
"They are my enemies, I cannot let them just leave."
The staff member said,
"If you have any disputes, you can resolve them after the Auction ends. For now, please do not disturb other guests."
The staff member's tone was firm yet calm, as he tried to persuade the man to calm down.
However, the man was unwilling to listen to the staff member's advice.
His eyes flickered with anger, and he stared intently at Zhuge Lan and Dugu Bo, saying with full fury,
"No, I cannot wait until the Auction ends to resolve this. They might take the opportunity to escape, I must resolve this issue now." The man's voice was filled with determination, and his attitude was unyielding, making it difficult to refute him.
However, the staff member also did not back down:
"Sir, this is an Auction, and I have the right to ensure its orderly progress. If you insist on disrupting the order, I have the right to revoke your eligibility for this Auction and demand that you leave the Auction hall!"
Hearing the staff member's stern tone, the man in the white luxurious suit finally restrained himself somewhat.
He once again glared angrily at Zhuge Lan, and laid down a harsh warning:
"Just you wait, I will definitely not let you off."
Zhuge Lan looked at the angry eyes of the man in the white luxurious suit, knowing that he had to explain himself quickly, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.
He took a deep breath and slowly began to speak,
"Brother, please don't get agitated, listen to my explanation. We are truly not from the Mo Family. You've really misunderstood!"
The man's eyes widened in anger, and he snorted coldly,
"Hmph, still trying to argue? Do you take me for a fool?"
Zhuge Lan quickly waved his hands, saying sincerely,
"Brother, we are indeed not from any Mo Family. This Mo Family and White Elephant Family you speak of, this is the first time I've heard of them."
Dugu Bo also nodded from the side, saying in a deep voice,
"That's right, we have no connection to the Mo Family. If you don't believe us, you can investigate our identities."
The man narrowed his eyes slightly, questioning,
"No connection? Then why do you have an invitation to the Auction that was meant for the Mo Family? And why are you seated in the Mo Family's VIP spot?"
Zhuge Lan quickly explained,
"This invitation was given to us by a man in a Crimson Robed Man. We didn't know his identity at the time, and now that I think about it, it's all this black card's fault! He should be the person from the Mo Family that you're talking about. But we truly were innocently dragged into this dispute."
The man frowned, and after a moment of thought, said,
"Even if you are not from the Mo Family, your presence here now still means you're involved."
Zhuge Lan said helplessly,
"Brother, we were also kept in the dark. We had no idea about the story behind this invitation. If we had known it would cause such trouble, when he gave me this black card and said it would be useful at the Auction, I only knew its use was for VIP treatment."
The man was silent for a while, seemingly judging the truthfulness of Zhuge Lan's words.
Then, he asked again,
"Then who are you? What is your purpose in coming to this Auction?"
Zhuge Lan saw that the man's attitude had softened somewhat, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He slowly explained,
"The situation is like this: we are just ordinary cultivators, and we came to this Auction to find some treasures that would be helpful to us. Then, we discovered someone selling fake goods outside the Auction hall, and we helped a victim who bought a fake and got his money back. To express his gratitude, he gave us this card, saying it would be useful for entering the Auction, and that's how we ended up here. We never expected to encounter such a situation."
Dugu Bo then added,
"We have no involvement with your so-called Mo Family, and we don't want to get caught up in your disputes. We just want to quietly attend the Auction and find what we need. But if you insist on disturbing me, don't blame me for being impolite to you."
The man was still somewhat suspicious, saying,
"I cannot fully believe your words. Unless you can provide evidence to prove your identities."
Zhuge Lan found it difficult, saying,
"We truly don't have anything that can directly prove our identities, but we can assure you that everything we've said is true. If you don't believe us, we can do whatever you want to prove it after the Auction ends."
The man snorted coldly,
"Wait until the Auction ends? Who knows if you'll take the opportunity to slip away."
Dugu Bo was getting impatient:
"If you keep dawdling here, don't blame us for being impolite. We didn't want to cause trouble, but we're not afraid of it either!"
