Chu Tian's voice emerged, drawing everyone's gaze back to him.
The Angel of Undying Feathers looked at him.
Frowning slightly.
This fellow was showing him no respect.
"What do you want?" the Angel of Undying Feathers asked.
"Me? Did you ask me when you were handling this matter just now? Although I might have entered the wrong room, they were the ones who started trouble. They spewed filth the moment they opened their mouths. Did you ask me then? And you just leave me here like this, I just want to ask, is this how you handle things?"
Chu Tian's expression was no longer one of a smile.
Instead, he fixed his gaze intently on the Angel of Undying Feathers.
Chu Tian's questioning was, in essence, pressing step by step.
The woman's face turned extremely unpleasant.
No one had ever dared to question her so directly.
She took a deep breath, suppressing the anger in her heart.
As the manager here, her actions just now were indeed inappropriate.
If this young man before her didn't know any better and spread this matter, it could cause some reputational damage to the auction house.
More importantly, she was the one who handled this matter.
She would also be punished by her superiors.
In this way, the manager of the other shift would have successfully executed her plan.
However, she didn't appear anxious at all.
Instead, she glanced towards the end of the corridor.
There, a figure appeared.
That figure nodded at her and walked to her side.
Whispering a few words into her ear.
After listening, the woman's face immediately broke into a smile.
She shifted her gaze away from Chu Tian again.
"My esteemed young lords, please allow me to handle this. You two should proceed to the Black Gold Card private room. The auction is about to begin!"
After the woman spoke, the two individuals exchanged a glance.
They had indeed struck a great bargain.
Hearing that the auction was about to start, they didn't want to linger here.
They said to Chu Tian.
"Kid, you wait for me!"
Chu Tian watched all of this with a cold gaze.
He dismissed their threatening words as utter nonsense.
He simply ignored the two of them.
Instead, he lowered his head, his eyelids slightly closed, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Seeing Chu Tian's dismissive attitude, the two individuals felt a deeper surge of anger.
However, on the auction stage below, the auctioneer tapped the table twice.
This was the signal that the auction was about to begin.
Glowering fiercely at Chu Tian, they were then led away by the woman who had appeared later, resembling a service staff.
Heading towards the Black Gold Card private rooms within.
The Angel of Undying Feathers, seeing the departure of the two so-called young lords.
Only then did she turn her gaze to Chu Tian.
And with a wave of her hand.
She closed the door of the private room.
Then, she slowly walked towards the sofa.
Brushing past Chu Tian, her shoulder grazed his.
And then she slowly sat down.
Only then did she look up at Chu Tian's retreating back.
"Heh, speak… what benefit did that slut give you?"
Chu Tian turned around to follow her gaze.
He was also curious about what abilities this woman possessed.
To actually want to have absolute control within this auction house.
This auction house was founded by him in the early stages.
He hadn't intended for it to develop into something so massive initially.
But now, the auction house had developed to this extent.
Although it wasn't managed by his direct hands.
And it was very likely done by the Demon Master on a whim.
He had simply established the auction house in this city, and he probably rarely intervened in its subsequent development.
He likely hired many people to manage it.
However, Chu Tian truly couldn't stand such a practice of a powerful establishment bullying its customers.
Those two guys had status, so they received preferential treatment.
This kind of practice was exactly what Chu Tian disliked.
He always advocated for equality.
The auction house, as the proprietor, should treat everyone equally.
This third floor, with its so-called private rooms accessible only by VIP level, he strongly disliked.
In his previous life, such auction houses operated in a similar manner.
Chu Tian felt very uncomfortable, and he had even clashed with others here before.
And at that time, he was still on the divine altar.
The treatment he received was the same as those two young lords just now.
Now, the roles were reversed.
Chu Tian felt very uncomfortable.
This reminded him of the person who had opposed him in his previous life.
Eventually, that guy was killed by him countless times in the wilderness.
Thinking back now.
He had been a bit excessive.
If it were himself, without their trump cards and status, they would likely be thrown out by others right now.
And they would also suffer merciless abuse and pursuit.
Now, Chu Tian's mentality was no longer what it used to be.
However, just as he was preparing to have a good time with this woman.
The woman before him said something he couldn't understand at all.
This stunned Chu Tian.
"Stop pretending. Don't tell me you don't recognize that slut. Speak up, what benefit did she give you? I'll give you double!"
Seeing Chu Tian's reaction, the Angel of Undying Feathers.
Thought he was playing dumb.
However, Chu Tian heard her repeat herself again.
But he had an eight-tenths certainty in his guess.
However, he didn't want to get into a prolonged entanglement with this woman.
His time was precious, and he had just reviewed the list of auction items.
There was an item he needed at the moment.
It was a dragon scale.
This dragon scale could be used as a material for upgrading god-tier equipment.
The auction outside had begun.
Although Chu Tian knew that the dragon scale was likely the finale.
It wasn't time for it to appear yet.
Chu Tian had no interest in guessing their internal power struggles.
Today, he would use this to make an example.
To rectify the atmosphere of this auction house.
"I don't know who the person you're referring to is. But it's your bad luck to fall into my hands today!"
Chu Tian curled his lips.
As soon as he spoke.
The woman's hair stood on end.
She slammed the tea table in front of her.
"How dare you speak to me like that? In this auction house, I am the sky. Do you… think that because there's a surveillance system, I can't do anything to you?
You still want to use this to catch my handle, so that I get punished by headquarters?
Let me tell you… you saw the person who just came in, right? Before I arrived, I arranged for him to erase the system surveillance, and… turn off all cameras in this room! Da Feng Novel Network.
Now I can do anything I want to you! You won't be able to catch any handle on me.
With me… you'd better confess honestly, otherwise!
Hmph, hmph… I'll find out your real-life location and arrange for some people to come and have a chat with you!"
After slamming the table, the woman's confidence grew with every word she spoke.
Her qipao, with a slit up to her thigh, revealed her fair legs.
She crossed her legs and, with her arms crossed over her chest.
She finished speaking with such confidence.
Originally, Chu Tian had only intended to get her fired from the shop.
And then publicly announce what happened here as a way to warn others.
But he hadn't expected this woman to be so venomous.
She even wanted to find out his real-life location, and that final threat was not just about having a chat.
Perhaps… at least breaking his legs?
"Oh?" Chu Tian's eyes lit up.
"Heh, so you want to play it this way! Alright, I'll oblige you!"
As he spoke, his entire body began to fade.
The woman hadn't understood what Chu Tian meant.
When she realized Chu Tian had logged off.
Chu Tian pushed open the door of his virtual pod.
And stepped out.
Taking out his phone, he dialed a number.
"Go to the auction house in Reverse God City, and help me bid for a dragon scale…"
"Yes, acquire it no matter the price!"
After saying these two sentences, he hung up the phone.
In the world of Heavenly Dao, within the main city of Shengjing, at the entrance of the "Everything Engineering" shop, a person rushed out in a hurry.
This fellow's hair was messy.
His face was also smudged with dirt.
It was the Demon Master whom Chu Tian had just called, causing the experiment to explode.
This fellow rushed to the teleportation array outside.
He selected his destination and teleported to Reverse God City.
Meanwhile, Chu Tian recalled what he had seen before logging off from the game.
From the employee records he had retrieved from the shop.
Standing on the rooftop, he confirmed a direction.
His body then soared into the air.
In the world of Heavenly Dao, the Angel of Undying Feathers, enraged, left the private room.
She called for a few people.
"Keep a close watch here. If anyone logs in from inside shortly, don't let them leave. Notify me immediately!"
After saying that, she walked towards her office.
Once in her office, she grew increasingly angry.
That guy had chosen to log off directly.
She gritted her teeth in anger.
"You slut, you think you can mess with me by finding a lover?"
As she said this, she also took out her communicator.
And sent a message to someone.
Soon, the video she sent was accepted by the recipient.
The video showed an extremely busy fellow.
However, after the fellow accepted the video call, he poked his head out from behind a pile of documents.
"Seventh Brother, is there something you need?"
The fellow was fair-skinned and chubby, wearing black-rimmed glasses.
If Chu Tian were present, he would be utterly astonished.
"Seventh Brother… I've been bullied. Can you help me investigate someone?"
The woman's voice sounded as if her throat was squeezed by tweezers.
But the man on the other end seemed to be enjoying it immensely.
"Who dares to bully my little angel? Send me his appearance, and I'll help you investigate!"
This chubby fellow was none other than Honest First Zero Zero Seven, who was busy acquiring gold coins for Chu Tian.
"Okay, Seventh Brother, I've sent you the video recording. Remember to help me investigate, I'm waiting for your news!"
The Angel of Undying Feathers said, feigning excitement and speaking in a high-pitched voice.
"Alright, once I'm done with my current tasks, I'll help you look. I can find out anything about the Northern War Zone."
Honest First Zero Zero Seven said with a smile, his face full of affection.
"Thank you, Seventh Brother… Ah!"
Before the Angel of Undying Feathers could finish speaking.
Suddenly, her expression changed drastically.
Then, Zero Zero Seven saw her log off from his end.
However, the scream she let out at the end.
Caused the busy Zero Zero Seven to suddenly freeze.
He seemed to sense that something bad had happened.
And the fact that the Angel of Undying Feathers had logged off abruptly, with a delayed disconnect.
This made his head buzz.
This kind of delayed disconnect was clearly a phenomenon that occurred when one's helmet was removed in reality.
However, he knew that this woman was not short on money.
She would not use a helmet.
She would definitely use a virtual pod, and even a high-level virtual pod at that.
Even the lowest-level virtual pods in the world of Heavenly Dao had power storage systems.
There was no way such a power outage disconnect could occur.
He quickly stood up and dialed a phone number.
From within the world, he made an outbound call.
The number he dialed was precisely the mobile number of the Angel of Undying Feathers.
However, after ringing twice, it went to a busy tone.
When he tried to call again, it showed that the phone was turned off.
Suddenly remembering something, he quickly opened his email.
And checked the video in the email the other party had sent him.
When he saw the person in the video, his hands trembled.
"How could it be him? This is bad…"
