Chapter 78: Chapter 78: Surging Emotions

"Your Qi’nan Thunderstruck Wood?"

Upon hearing the vendor’s words, Qin Chuan’s eyes narrowed.

The crowd, who had just been shocked that Qin Chuan had bought an item worth fifty million for only five thousand, all wore faces of surprise.

The vendor smiled at Qin Chuan and said, "It’s not mine, so is it yours?"

Dongfang Yiren, having come back to her senses, had a face full of anger, "Clearly Qin Chuan bought it for five thousand, so of course it’s his!"

The vendor laughed, picked up an old-looking porcelain bowl from the stall, and handed it over, "What he bought for five thousand, is this porcelain bowl that Empress Dowager Cixi used."

"Pah!"

Dongfang Yiren could not contain her anger, "Do you think we are fools? A bowl that Empress Dowager Cixi used?"

Everyone around was stunned; even a layman could see that the bowl was just a common rice bowl from the rural areas of the 1990s.

Forget five thousand, not even five dollars, would anyone want it.

"Boss, what you’re doing is wrong. It’s clear that the young man bought the Qi’nan Thunderstruck Wood from you with five thousand."

"That’s right, money exchanged for goods, that has always been the rule of Antique Street. If you act like this, who in the future would dare buy from you?"

"Young man, after all, you have found a treasure here at the boss’s stall, I’d say you should give the boss another ten thousand or so, as a gesture of goodwill."

The surrounding crowd murmured incessantly, with most advising the vendor.

"Bang!"

The vendor smashed the bowl to the ground, and it broke instantly.

"You’re all thinking too much. What he bought for five thousand, is this broken bowl," said the vendor, his smile disappearing and his face turning vicious.

As Dongfang Yiren looked at the menacing vendor, she grew nervous and gripped Qin Chuan’s hand tightly,

but she still mustered the courage to say, "Everyone saw it, my friend paid for the Qi’nan Thunderstruck Wood."

"Heh heh!"

With an assured demeanor, the vendor looked at the onlookers and asked, "Do you believe that five thousand could buy such a large piece of Qi’nan Thunderstruck Wood?"

It was clear to everyone that the vendor, seeing Qin Chuan had stumbled upon a treasure, wanted to backpedal.

Just as they were about to speak up for Qin Chuan, they saw a group of gaudily dressed young men walk over.

Leading them was a bald man in his mid-thirties with a small braid at the back of his head and a face full of menacing muscles, clearly not a good person.

Someone recognized the bald man and exclaimed, "He’s Bald Liu from the Black Dragon Commerce Association!"

The crowd was stunned at this revelation.

The Black Dragon Commerce Association had branches all over, and one could say they were a dominant force in the East Sea Province.

But what surprised the crowd even more came next, as Bald Liu walked straight up to the vendor and asked, "Brother, what’s happened?"

The vendor pointed at the Qi’nan wood in Qin Chuan’s hand and said with a smile, "This kid is holding onto my Qi’nan Thunderstruck Wood and won’t return it."

Hearing the vendor’s words, a sharp glint passed through Bald Liu’s eyes. How could he not understand what was happening?

Bald Liu glared at Qin Chuan and barked loudly, "Quite the nerve, to take something that even Brother Bald Liu considers his own?"

Dongfang Yiren became anxious immediately, explaining urgently, "This is a treasure my friend found at a bargain; everyone saw it. If you don’t believe me, ask them."

Bald Liu’s fierce gaze swept over the onlookers as he said coldly, "Everyone, is that what happened?"

Just as a few were about to speak, they heard Bald Liu warn, "I advise you all to think carefully before answering; there is no remedy for regret in this world."

With those words, who would dare to speak up for Qin Chuan?

Seeing no one spoke, Bald Liu smiley stared at Dongfang Yiren and said, "Beauty, it seems no one saw it!"

Dongfang Yiren glared back at Bald Liu, "You’re using the power of the Black Dragon Commerce Association to intimidate them. Who would dare speak up for us?"

"Haha!"

Bald Liu burst out laughing, "Intimidate? So what? Today, not only will the Qi’nan Thunderstruck Wood stay, but you, too, must stay!"

Upon Dongfang Yiren’s face, coldness prevailed.

Sharpness flashed through Qin Chuan’s eyes as he stared at Bald Liu and said, "Do you think Zhu Yeqing knows about this?"

"How dare you!"

Bald Liu bellowed angrily, "The name of our President Ye, are you even worthy to utter it?"

"Kid, leave the Qi’nan Thunderstruck Wood behind, and let your woman accompany me for a month, and I can pretend nothing happened."

Dongfang Yiren trembled with fury. As the granddaughter of the master of the East Sea National Medical Hall, when had she ever been humiliated like this?

In terms of the Martial Path, the National Medical Hall may not be prominent, but in terms of connections, looking across the whole of Shen Zhou, there was no force that could match the National Medical Hall.

Had it not been for the National Medical Hall’s low profile, how many forces in Shen Zhou would truly be considered its match?

"And if I refuse?"

A hint of murderous intent flashed in Qin Chuan’s eyes.

Bald Liu squinted at him and said, "Then I’ll beat you until you agree!"

Qin Chuan looked at the other party with contempt, took Dongfang Yiren’s hand, and moved forward.

Feeling the warmth from Qin Chuan’s hand, Dongfang Yiren’s stunning face flushed with a tinge of red.

At that moment, her heart harbored not a trace of fear, only an unprecedented sense of security.

Seeing Qin Chuan dare to ignore himself, Bald Liu’s gaze turned icy, and he commanded, "Take action!"

With his order, a dozen members of the Black Dragon Commerce Association charged towards Qin Chuan.

"The people from the Black Dragon Commerce Association are all ruthless, that young man is done for!"

"For a piece of Qi’nan Thunderstruck Wood, he might spend the second half of his life in bed, it’s really not worth it!"

"That’s a treasure worth fifty million, how could you just give it up?"

...

The people around all felt pity for Qin Chuan.

"Be careful!"

As the young man leading the charge swung his stick viciously towards Qin Chuan’s head, Dongfang Yiren cried out in alarm.

At that moment, she was pushed out by a gentle force.

"Crack!"

The young man who had first struck at Qin Chuan with a stick was caught by the wrist by Qin Chuan.

The young man’s face changed dramatically; he exerted all his strength, yet could not break free from Qin Chuan’s grip.

"Can the Black Dragon Commerce Association really twist right and wrong at will?"

As Qin Chuan’s words fell, a terrifying chill burst out from him, sweeping across the entire antique street in an instant.

"Crack!"

Qin Chuan’s hand suddenly exerted force, and a crisp sound of bone breaking entered everyone’s ears.

"Ah..."

After a moment of silence, the young man let out a piercing scream.

This scream shocked the entire scene!

After a brief stupor, Bald Liu roared furiously, "Cripple him! Cripple him!"

However, before the people of the Black Dragon Commerce Association could react, Qin Chuan had already vanished from the spot.

"Bang bang bang..."

The people from the Black Dragon Commerce Association didn’t even get the chance to strike before they were sent flying one after the other.

Seconds later, the dozen or so young men Bald Liu had brought were all lying on the ground, each with an arm broken, their screams echoing one after another.

Dongfang Yiren’s beautiful eyes were fixed upon Qin Chuan, with no fear in her heart, only a surging tide of emotion.
