Chapter 381: Chapter 381 Familiar Scent

Qin Chuan’s single statement, "I disagree," made everyone’s eyes widen.

Jiang Chenyang’s expression completely darkened. On his own turf, Qin Chuan was the first to publicly reject his proposal.

Even though Elder Tong had already solemnly reminded him that Qin Chuan was very likely a King Realm Strong, Jiang Chenyang didn’t believe it. Not only that, he also thought that Qin Chuan was nothing more than a pretty boy relying on Lu Yanwu’s support.

"This kid is really like a newborn calf not afraid of tigers, daring to publicly refuse Jiang Chenyang’s proposal. That’s tantamount to slapping Jiang Chenyang’s face; Jiang Chenyang definitely won’t let him off."

"Don’t forget, this kid has Lu Yanwu’s protection; Jiang Chenyang might not be able to touch him."

"If you ask me, Jiang Chenyang is the one who’s wrong. His actions are clearly unfair. With him doing things like this, who would dare to attend the charity auctions held by the Jiang Family in the future?"

...

The atmosphere at the scene became noisy, with differing attitudes among the crowd. Some believed that Qin Chuan was doomed, while others thought that with Lu Yanwu there, Jiang Chenyang could do nothing to Qin Chuan.

Some were quietly criticizing Jiang Chenyang’s actions.

The moment Qin Chuan publicly refused Jiang Chenyang, the coercive pressure of several Energizing Skill Strong individuals had already pressed towards Qin Chuan.

They were just waiting for Jiang Chenyang’s order to take action and capture Qin Chuan.

After a brief moment of shock, Wang Long glared at Qin Chuan and bellowed, "You little beast, you have quite some nerve to refuse Young Master Jiang’s proposal. Are you not taking Young Master Jiang seriously? Or is it that you don’t even have the Jiang Family in your eyes?"

Such a big hat was firmly placed on Qin Chuan’s head.

Many people secretly sweated for Qin Chuan. It might be passable not to take Jiang Chenyang seriously, but if he dared not to take the Jiang Family seriously, then the trouble would be great.

The guests who had come to attend the charity auction were also very puzzled. How could the great young master of the Jiang Family, also known as the commercial prodigy of the Jiang Family, make such a confused decision?

Didn’t he know what the consequences of doing so would be?

Soon, people realized that this was not only a confrontation between Wang Long and Qin Chuan, but also a covert struggle between Jiang Chenyang and Lu Yanwu.

Whoever backed down between Wang Long and Qin Chuan, it would mean that the people backing them, Jiang Chenyang and Lu Yanwu, had backed down first.

Lu Yanwu and Jiang Chenyang, both prominent figures of the Nine Gates of Yandu, each carried the pride of a wealthy family’s offspring. Who would be the first to bow their head?

Towards Wang Long, who kept provoking him, Qin Chuan had already harbored the intent to kill.

The atmosphere on-site became somewhat oppressive, with a suffocating pressure permeating the air.

Tang Yue’er stood by Qin Chuan’s side all along, her heart already in utter disarray. Her somewhat icy, jade-like fingers subconsciously clenched Qin Chuan’s arm tightly.

Just when the situation was as tense as drawn bows, Elder Tong hurried forward and said, "Young Master Jiang, according to the rules, it is indeed inappropriate to auction the Meteorite from Beyond the Heavens again, but I do have a proposal."

Although Jiang Chenyang was shielding Wang Long, he also knew the negative impact that blind protection would have on the Jiang Family.

So, he looked up and asked, "Speak!"

Elder Tong said, "This Meteorite from Beyond the Heavens was originally an item you put up for auction, Young Master Jiang, and even the chief auctioneer of Premium Auction couldn’t determine its value. In other words, those who don’t know the value of this stone won’t be able to use it even if they bid for it."

"It seems to me that Mr. Qin is interested in this stone. Besides, Mr. Qin has also offered two Top-Grade Marrow-Cleansing Pills, which are bound to fetch a sky-high price at auction, way beyond the outcome of this charity auction."

"Therefore, I propose to give the Meteorite from Beyond the Heavens to Mr. Qin as a thank-you for the top-grade elixirs he has contributed to the Jiang Family’s charitable cause."

After hearing Elder Tong’s words, everyone was stunned.

Jiang Chenyang’s expression became terribly somber. He was still confronting Qin Chuan when his own man suggested giving the Meteorite to Qin Chuan, which was like giving him a resounding slap in front of everyone.

"No!"

Before Jiang Chenyang could speak, Wang Long angrily said, "Old Tong, what kind of ridiculous proposal is that? The item Young Master Jiang has brought out must be a treasure of inestimable value. Why should it be given to an outsider for free?"

Old Tong’s eyebrows raised in anger as he glared at Wang Long and said, "In that case, why don’t you spend thirty billion to buy this priceless treasure yourself!"

"I..."

Wang Long was suddenly at a loss for words, as he nearly forgot that it was he who had just called out thirty billion to successfully purchase that piece of worthless rock.

Old Tong was also worried about angering Qin Chuan, which was why he would disregard the public embarrassment of Jiang Chenyang and make such a statement.

Without waiting for Jiang Chenyang’s agreement, Old Tong looked towards Qin Chuan and asked, "Mr. Qin, what do you think of my proposal? If you have a better suggestion, please feel free to speak up."

Old Tong was extremely deferential in front of Qin Chuan.

This only deepened the shock of all the guests present.

Qin Chuan glanced at Old Tong indifferently and then nodded, uttering just two words, "It’s acceptable!"

He had needed the rock all along, and if he could acquire it for free, why not?

Old Tong immediately heaved a sigh of relief, then turned to Jiang Chenyang and asked, "Young Master Jiang, what do you think..."

"Old Tong has already made the decision for me, is there a need to ask for my opinion?"

Jiang Chenyang said coldly, then turned and went back to the VIP room.

Wang Long became anxious and hurriedly followed, "Young Master Jiang, you are the person in charge of Misty Rain Tower, how can you let someone else make decisions for you?"

However, Jiang Chenyang did not pay any attention to Wang Long. After returning to the VIP room, he slammed the door shut with great force.

Old Tong gave a wry smile. If it wasn’t for the fact that Jiang Chenlong, the heir of the Jiang Family, had already made it clear over the phone that they must not offend Qin Chuan and had insisted on waiting for Jiang Chenyang, how would Old Tong dare to make decisions publicly on behalf of Jiang Chenyang?

"Old Master Jiang, Old Master Jiang, if you don’t come soon, Young Master Jiang is bound to cause big trouble for you."

Old Tong mused to himself, then turned to a staff member nearby and instructed, "Give the Meteorite from Beyond the Heavens to Mr. Qin."

"Yes!"

Soon, the staff handed over the box containing the Meteorite from Beyond the Heavens to Qin Chuan.

"Congratulations, Mr. Qin!"

Old Tong said to Qin Chuan with a smile, then commanded, "Continue the auction!"

After Old Tong had left, Lu Yanwu said with a smile, "This old man does have some insight; he saved Jiang Chenyang."

Qin Chuan smiled noncommittally and then looked towards the auction seats, saying, "It’s that necklace called ’Star’!"

Upon hearing Qin Chuan’s words, Lu Yanwu immediately looked towards the auction seats and saw a simply designed necklace in a glass display case, with a star-shaped pendant hanging from it.

"It’s the Star Necklace! It really is the Star Necklace!"

Lu Yanwu was extremely excited, her voice trembling slightly as she spoke.

"Hmm?"

At that moment, Qin Chuan’s eyebrows knit together tightly, for he sensed a familiar aura emanating from the Star Necklace.

It was the aura of the Kunlun Divine Prison!
