Chapter 1541: Chapter 1537: Ren Feifan! The Focus! (Part 1)

The host carefully took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his palms before letting out a light cough, addressing the audience, "This brings us to the end of the items for auction, and the auction itself is drawing to a close. Please disperse in an orderly fashion. The banquet will follow, and I will be waiting for everyone at the Royal Pavilion! I hope everyone can..."

Before the host could finish, an icy voice cut through!

It came from the eldest Prince’s private box!

"Ended? How has it ended? I’m quite curious how the person in private box number one plans to pay the fifteen million Hidden Stones! If the payment can’t be made, shouldn’t the item belong to me? And! Shouldn’t the person who falsely inflated the price be expelled from the Royal Auction? Not to mention expelled from Hidden Gate!"

Finally unable to contain himself, the eldest Prince stood up, his voice dripping with sarcasm.

He wanted to humiliate that man in front of everyone, and even more so, to humiliate Princess Lingxia!

This was the consequence of offending him!

Even if Princess Lingxia didn’t make the bid herself, she couldn’t be absolved of responsibility!

If he were to humiliate Princess Lingxia’s party in front of so many families and royals, it would be quite the spectacle.

How could Princess Lingxia show her face in the royal family after that!

All eyes inevitably "swooshed" towards Princess Lingxia’s private box!

But that box was eerily silent, no one spoke, no one came forward to make a statement.

At that moment, the complexion of Princess Lingxia inside the box was notably pale!

Originally, if the eldest Prince hadn’t stood up, she might have found a way to privately settle things with the auction house. Now, thanks to that damned guy stirring up trouble, there was definitely no peaceful end!

Did her elder brother have to cause trouble for her?

Was it really to the point where it was a fight to the death?

Seeing that everyone’s gaze had landed on Princess Lingxia’s box, the host knew it was time to take a stand. He was well aware that the person who had raised the objection was the eldest Prince!

Between the two, he had to choose sides. In that moment, he hesitated! Helping either one didn’t seem right!

Both Princess Lingxia and the eldest Prince could unleash a fury that a mere auction host could not withstand.

As he hesitated, the icy voice of the eldest Prince rang out once more, this time directly targeting the host, "What’s the matter, are you deaf or mute! Don’t we have the right to know, and if you don’t give me an explanation! I assure you, I will bring this matter up with my father, and you can forget about ever working in the auction world again!"

The host’s face turned pale, and he seemed to age in an instant, compelled by helplessness, he could only bang the gavel to signal for silence.

Then, turned to look at Princess Lingxia’s box, he said, "The gentleman who just bid fifteen million, are you ready to proceed with the transaction?"

To everyone’s surprise, the voice that had made the bid from the box echoed once again.

"Of course."

Ren Feifan answered and then turned to Princess Lingxia, urging her, "Quick, lend me five million!"

Ren Feifan at the moment had just over ten million Hidden Stones in total, and these five million from Princess Lingxia were critical!

Princess Lingxia shook her head helplessly. She couldn’t believe that Ren Feifan was still asking her for a loan at such a critical moment.

Could this kid not act cool on purpose or would it kill him?

Under Ren Feifan’s incessant begging, Princess Lingxia had no choice but to use her royal Identity Token to transfer six million to him. As for why an extra million, she didn’t know why, perhaps in hopes of a miracle happening.

Looking at the sum on the Identity Token, Ren Feifan smiled quite contentedly and then stepped out, making his way to the stage.

When everyone saw such a young and utterly unfamiliar face, they wondered.

In this region and even amongst the royalty, most people should be recognizable.

Your wealth and family strength were clear at a glance.

Everyone was already curious about who had the strength to call out fifteen million; now, their expressions grew even stranger upon seeing him.

This youth was unknown to anyone present.

Yet, standing on the stage, he exuded an incomparable confidence.

The Crown Prince’s eyes narrowed as he stared at Ren Feifan on stage, his face alternating between shades of green and white before he sneered, "Foolish boy, one look and I can tell you’re not from our circle. Do you realize what the consequences are for not producing fifteen million? The entire Hidden Gate will blacklist you. You won’t survive a day within Hidden Gate! If you give up the person beside you now, maybe your punishment will be lighter."

The Crown Prince’s implication was clear, urging Ren Feifan to shift all the blame onto Princess Lingxia.

Would Ren Feifan do as told?

Of course not!

He cocked his head and suddenly turned to look at the Crown Prince. After a long pause, he said leisurely, "Oh? And what exactly are you? Do I, Ren Feifan, need your guidance in what I do?"

Silence!

The whole world fell completely quiet!

This plainly dressed lad actually dared to talk back to the Crown Prince?

What strength the Crown Prince possesses, he represents the entire royal family!

Ren Feifan’s words were undoubtedly an offense against the entire royal family!

Everyone involuntarily looked toward the Crown Prince, who now had a face swollen with rage and a wildly furious aura about him!

Clearly, he was ready to kill!

The dignity of the royal family was not to be insulted by this trash!

An elder standing beside the Crown Prince stepped forward and asked, "Your Highness, would you like me to kill this brat?"

The Crown Prince clenched his fists tightly, then slowly released them, his voice rising icy and piercing, "Kill him? Why should I kill him? Once he can no longer bear it, he’ll end it himself! And when that time comes, we’ll make sure he can’t even die if he wants to! Won’t that be more painful?"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Inside the private box, Princess Lingxia, seeing Ren Feifan clashing with her elder brother, wanted to rush out to help, but Wang Xianchen held her back.

"Lingxia, the best outcome is to let this youth bear it alone. You must not show yourself; once you do, there’s no making amends."

Princess Lingxia’s eyes were cold, yet she seemed hesitant, "But... Master Ren is here at my invitation, and he is important to me. If I don’t come forward, Master Ren will..."

She stopped mid-sentence because everyone knew what Ren Feifan was about to face.

She, as Princess Lingxia, was certainly not a person who forgets favors and violates loyalty!

In the end, she took a step forward, about to leap down when Wang Xianchen pressed a finger against Princess Lingxia’s back!

Suddenly, Princess Lingxia couldn’t move.

"Uncle Three, what are you doing! Release me now!"

Princess Lingxia urged him, pleading in her tone.

Wang Xianchen shook his head and walked over to Princess Lingxia, sighing deeply:

"Lingxia, don’t blame me. You and that boy were never meant to travel the same path. In the vast world of Hidden Gate, he can only be cannon fodder; that is his destiny.

If you really want to help him, send someone to take care of his family instead – that’s what you should be doing.

I hope you won’t overthink it. Once you truly understand the rules of Hidden Gate, you’ll thank me."
