The crowd began to praise the man in the suit, looking at him with admiration. He had become their idol.
"Gentlemen, you are too kind!" the man in the suit said proudly.
Several wealthy young ladies beside him batted their eyelashes at him, moved by his perceived 'kindness'.
"Someone, escort the mother and daughter to the estate!" the man in the suit commanded his bodyguards.
"Yes, sir!" Two bodyguards moved to carry out the order.
"Wait!" Jiang Yi called out, walking directly towards them.
"Sir, may I ask what is the matter?" the man in the suit asked, assuming Jiang Yi was from Eagle Country. His tone was polite and refined, exuding gentlemanly grace.
In reality, Jiang Yi was not from Eagle Country; he had only used a disguise technique to make himself appear as such.
"The money you just took from that mother and daughter belongs to me!" Jiang Yi stated.
"It belongs to you?" The man in the suit blinked in surprise.
"That's right!" Jiang Yi nodded.
"If it's your money, why did it end up in their hands?" the man in the suit asked. After a moment's thought, he spoke with indignation, "I understand now. They must have stolen this money from you! Don't worry, I'll return it to you, and I'll help you vent your anger! I'll report them to the relevant authorities and have them arrested. They won't last three days!"
With that, the man in the suit returned the money to Jiang Yi.
Jiang Yi remained silent. He walked over to the mother and daughter, handed the money to the woman, and said, "This is not a place for you. Go back to where you came from."
After receiving the money, the woman gave Jiang Yi a grateful look and then fled.
The onlookers were stunned by this turn of events.
"Sir, are you challenging me?" The smile on the man in the suit's face vanished, replaced by anger.
"This kid is helping that mother and daughter. He's definitely not a good person, he's a traitor."
"Yes, he's a traitor! We can't go easy on traitors like him!"
The crowd turned their attention to Jiang Yi, viewing him as a complete villain.
Jiang Yi said nothing and offered no explanation. This was Eagle Country, after all. He had been staying in the castle and rarely ventured onto the streets, so he was not entirely familiar with the local customs. However, he was now experiencing it firsthand.
Jiang Yi scanned the people around him, noticing their angry stares.
"Kid, you are a heinous criminal! Today, I must judge you on behalf of everyone!" the man in the suit snarled at Jiang Yi. "You have committed such an abominable act that even if I killed you today, no one would help you. On the contrary, everyone would applaud!"
Jiang Yi remained unfazed.
"Kid, I'll give you one last chance. If you bring back that mother and daughter and kill them in front of everyone, I'll spare you. This is your only chance, so decide wisely!" the man in the suit warned.
"Then I'll give you one chance too. Get out of my sight, or you will regret it!" Jiang Yi raised an eyebrow.
"You're asking for death!" The man in the suit cursed and shouted at his bodyguards. "What are you waiting for? Beat this kid to a pulp! We must teach him a lesson today, so he knows what he should and shouldn't do!"
"Yes, sir!" The bodyguards responded and lunged at Jiang Yi. The surrounding crowd began to cheer them on.
However, as soon as the bodyguards got close to Jiang Yi, he knocked them to the ground. They writhed in pain, letting out pig-like screams.
This scene stunned everyone. The man in the suit's face turned grim.
"Your turn. You're not going to be a coward and run, are you?" Jiang Yi asked with a smile.
Hearing this, the man in the suit became furious. Although he was somewhat intimidated by Jiang Yi, he clenched his fists and swung at him, driven by his pride.
Jiang Yi showed no mercy. He grabbed the man's wrist, punched him squarely in the face, and then kicked him to the ground. The man groaned in pain.
"Get up, let's continue!" Jiang Yi walked towards the man in the suit.
Fearing Jiang Yi intended to kill him, the man in the suit trembled and quickly said, "I was wrong. It was my fault. I apologize; please spare me!" The man in the suit had lost all his earlier bravado, revealing his cowardly nature.
Jiang Yi couldn't help but laugh. This guy was truly a wimp. Jiang Yi had important matters to attend to and decided to spare the man's life. If he continued fighting, Jiang Tian, who was nearby, might notice something amiss and suspect his identity.
"Who else wants to kill me? Step forward!" Jiang Yi's gaze swept over the crowd.
No one dared to speak. If even the man in the suit was no match for Jiang Yi, they would only get beaten if they stepped forward.
"If you want to settle scores with me, you can come to Young Master Jiang Tian's castle. I'll be waiting for you there!" Jiang Yi said with a slight smile.
Jiang Tian's expression turned sour. Jiang Yi's words had implicated him, making it seem as though he was allied with Jiang Yi. However, Jiang Tian dared not explain, as Jiang Yi was Meina Sha's bodyguard, and he did not wish to offend him.
"Young Master Jiang, shall we go inside?" Jiang Yi called out to Jiang Tian.
"Yes!" Jiang Tian forced a smile and followed Jiang Yi into the auction company.
The hall was already filled with guests, numbering several hundred, and more people were continuously entering. There were twenty minutes until the auction began. Even before the auction started, people were already discussing the diamonds to be auctioned, with many having come specifically for them.
"Brother, there's something I need to say, and I hope you won't be angry!" Jiang Tian said to Jiang Yi with a complex expression.
"What is it?" Jiang Yi asked.
"You shouldn't have helped that mother and daughter!" Jiang Tian continued. "You should know that helping people from Hua Xia Country in Eagle Country can provoke public anger. By doing so, you'll be inviting a lot of trouble! Fortunately, there were no reporters just now. If there had been, they would have surely posted the incident online, and everyone in Ximeng Province would have targeted you. You'll find it very difficult to get by in Eagle Country!"
Jiang Yi chuckled at these words. He feared no one's targeting, and if anyone wanted trouble, he was ready to oblige.
