Chapter 177: Chapter 0177: Creating Trouble and Destruction

"Of course, you need to pay, and this time it can’t be as cheap as last time. Your friend is too difficult to deal with. He even managed to investigate my background. If he causes me trouble again in the future, it won’t be fun, so I must demand a sufficient reward."

Tang Ming said analytically.

"Alright, then tell me how much you want."

Su Xiaoxi just wanted to get rid of Sun Zhuangjia, so paying him was fine.

"You definitely don’t have cash on you, how about you help me bid on something at the auction later? If I see something I like, you can bid on it for me."

Tang Ming thought and then said.

"You don’t know how expensive the items in the auction are, they’re sky-high. What if you want something too costly? I can’t afford it."

Although Su Xiaoxi’s family was wealthy, she had limited funds at her disposal, especially when it came to spending a large sum to buy something for someone else. Her family would definitely investigate if she actually did it.

"Don’t worry, if the price is too high, I’ll put in my own money and won’t let you suffer a major loss. That should be okay, right?"

Tang Ming said.

"Alright then, but you must accompany me to the auction for the next two days."

Su Xiaoxi thought about it, with getting rid of Sun Zhuangjia being the priority. She decided to deal with this annoying person first.

The two walked into the auction hall where Liu Gaoze had already verified his identity with the organizers. Seeing a beautiful woman with Tang Ming, he muttered to himself, "Since when did Tang Ming know such a pretty girl?"

After proving their identities at the entrance, the three of them walked into the venue together and found seats to sit down. Liu Gaoze saw the pretty girl sitting next to Tang Ming, whispering to him from time to time, and felt quite displeased. After all, Tang Ming was his daughter’s fiancé, and now this beautiful girl had appeared with such a close relationship with him. Of course, he was unhappy but couldn’t say anything at the moment and had to wait until they got home to warn Tang Ming.

About fifteen minutes later, the venue closed, and the auction officially began. The hall accommodated at least three or four hundred people, each with a different expression. Some were there to sell, others had received messages to buy, but all had their own motives.

The auction started soon, and the first items pushed out were those that had been advertised beforehand. As soon as they were brought out, people scrambled for them, and eventually, one weapon sold for hundreds of thousands, while a Fist Manual also fetched a high price of over a hundred thousand.

As more items were brought up for auction, the atmosphere in the hall began to stir. The auctioneer, a veteran, was very adept at engaging the crowd, quickly energizing the venue, but many of the items eyed by the major families had not yet appeared.

At that moment, staff members were walking around the edges of the hall. Tang Ming saw someone beckoning one over, then directly handed over the items they intended to auction.

After considering it, Tang Ming beckoned to a woman in her thirties nearby. She immediately came over with a smile and asked, "Sir, what do you need? Or do you have something to auction?"

"I have an Elixir that I would like to put up for auction. How should I proceed?"

Tang Ming asked.

"Oh, please follow me backstage. The item needs to be inspected. If you’ve had it inspected beforehand, then you can just hand it to me directly now,"

she said politely.

"Alright, I’ll go backstage with you."

Tang Ming stood up and followed her towards the backstage.

Sun Zhuangjia had been paying attention to Tang Ming. Seeing the woman hand over a box that clearly contained Elixirs to him, he thought to himself, "This guy has Elixirs to auction?"

"Heh, then I have to spoil his plans,"

Sun Zhuangjia thought as he saw Tang Ming pull a small plastic bag from his pocket, clearly containing something like Elixirs, and smirked to himself.

Backstage, Tang Ming took out a Detoxification Pill and handed it to the Appraiser.

"What kind of Elixir is this?"

The Appraiser, unable to discern its uniqueness just by the smell, directly asked.

"Detoxification Pill. It can neutralize all poisons under heaven,"

Tang Ming confidently answered.

"Is that true?"

The appraiser was somewhat skeptical, but still wrote it down for Tang Ming.

This kind of elixir could not be authenticated on the spot; they had to rely on what the seller claimed and make a rough assessment.

After Tang Ming returned to his seat and several auctions had passed, the auctioneer finally picked up the detoxification pill and said,

"This is an elixir that can detoxify all poisons in the world. The starting bid is one hundred thousand, with each bid increasing by fifty thousand."

"Wait a moment!"

As soon as Sun Zhuangjia saw the box, he stood up and loudly asked, "There’s no such elixir in the world that can detoxify all poisons. Everyone knows that each poison is different, hence the need for different detoxification pills. How can there be one pill that detoxifies everything? Are you joking? Have you actually verified the authenticity of this elixir?"

"Well..."

After thinking for a moment, the auctioneer said,

"Then, could the owner of this elixir please stand up and explain it to everyone."

After waiting for a while with no one coming forward, the auctioneer said discontentedly, "Since the owner won’t show themselves, we cannot verify the authenticity of this elixir, and it must be withdrawn from the auction."

Su Xiaoxi quickly nudged Tang Ming and said, "Isn’t that your elixir? Why aren’t you standing up?"

"Oh, I wanted to let Sun Zhuangjia gloat for a bit."

Tang Ming smiled and then stood up.

The auctioneer glanced at him and asked, "Is this your elixir?"

"That’s right."

Tang Ming nodded, his voice booming, clearly heard by everyone in the room.

"Good, then describe the properties of this elixir and prove its authenticity," the appraiser said.

Tang Ming quickly stepped onto the auction stage and addressed the hundreds of people below, "Ladies and gentlemen, this is a detoxification pill. Anyone newly poisoned that takes it can eliminate the poison from their body, but remember, it must be taken immediately. If you delay too long, then this elixir will not be able to save your life."

As soon as he finished speaking, Sun Zhuangjia shouted,

"Nonsense, where on earth is there such a detoxification pill? Do you think we’re all three-year-old children who can be easily deceived?"

"You don’t believe it?"

Tang Ming looked at Sun Zhuangjia and said, "If you don’t believe it, we can try it."

"What kind of test?"

Sun Zhuangjia also stood up, not intimidated at all. He was determined to embarrass Tang Ming and was not about to give up, especially since he didn’t believe in such an elixir at all.

"Why don’t you buy it and try it out yourself?"

Tang Ming said.

Instantly, the room burst into laughter, and Sun Zhuangjia also started laughing, "See, I told you there was something wrong with this elixir. Why don’t you try it yourself and show us all?"

"If I consume it, then the elixir will be gone. How could we auction it then?"

Tang Ming deliberately asked.

After thinking for a moment, Sun Zhuangjia said, "Well, if you take this elixir and it detoxifies you, then I will give you two hundred thousand."
