Long Ge's pupils contracted violently. He couldn't believe what had just happened. "You dare to try and kill me in front of so many people?"
Lin Xiaotian's smile widened. "Who said I was going to kill you in broad daylight? You clearly wanted to die. You found your own life too painful and wanted to smash your head against the ground."
"Since you were begging so hard to die, how could I possibly dissuade you? I'm just being helpful, at most I'll just watch you die."
Lin Xiaotian's voice wasn't loud. After he finished speaking, he suddenly snapped his fingers.
Long Ge's expression changed drastically. He knew Lin Xiaotian would never let him off easily.
Before he could say anything.
Inside his mind, the small worm seemed to have been injected with a frenzy drug, darting back and forth erratically. At the same time, its sharp legs and claws began to churn everywhere.
The heart-wrenching pain made Long Ge cry out in agony.
Hearing the sound, countless people present felt a chill run down their spines. They didn't know exactly what was happening to Long Ge, but they knew the pain he was enduring was likely the extreme of suffering in this world.
Long Ge knelt on the ground, desperately banging his head against it. He felt like his brain was about to explode. The intense impact was the only thing that slightly lessened his pain.
He didn't even notice how much harder he was hitting. In just a few blows, a bloody mess had already formed on the ground.
The bone on his forehead was exposed and soon cracked from the impact. He continued to hit as if on autopilot, completely numb to the pain, as if nothing could stop him.
Long Ge slowly collapsed onto the ground. A look of relief finally appeared in his eyes as they slowly lost their luster. But in the end, a smile actually appeared on his face.
This scene, unfolding before everyone, made their hearts pound even harder. Those who had been considering causing trouble were now completely silent. They didn't want to end up like Long Ge, dying without even knowing how.
Lin Xiaotian's smiling gaze swept over the others present. He said directly, "There was a small problem in the jewelry store, and I've completely resolved it. Esteemed guests, please remain calm. The auction is about to begin."
"As for this fellow on the ground, he brought quite a few brothers with him when he arrived. Are you just going to leave him lying here like a corpse?"
"Hurry up and take him away. I'll give you ten seconds. If I see any of you again, every single one of you will join your Brother Long down below."
Long Ge's subordinates acted as if they had been given extra legs by their parents, dragging Long Ge out of the area at top speed.
Lin Xiaotian showed a satisfied smile. "Everyone, don't be nervous. Brother Long might have just had a mental breakdown. It's best to send him to the hospital quickly. His subordinates were also very diligent; at least they didn't leave his corpse here."
"Please, everyone come in!"
"We will absolutely make this trip worthwhile for you."
Upon hearing this, the people exchanged glances. At this moment, they dared not run. If they were stopped while trying to leave, they might be mistaken for Long Ge and dealt with, and they wouldn't know how they died.
Everyone gradually entered the jewelry store.
The second floor of the jewelry store had already been tidied up. As they walked in, they all wished the auction would end quickly.
The events here had already left them with some psychological trauma.
Ye Wantong saw these people and a beautiful smile appeared on her face. She picked up a jade pendant and put it directly around her neck.
"Today, I will show everyone what a true peerless treasure is. Not only is it outwardly beautiful and priceless, but it also possesses unparalleled efficacy."
The crowd looked on with some astonishment.
Especially when they saw the jade pendant Ye Wantong was wearing, their hearts were filled with surprise.
Anyone who received an invitation was either wealthy or noble and wouldn't lack the money for a jade pendant. In fact, to them, this item was at most a small adornment, something they rarely wore even if they bought it.
But at this moment, Ye Wantong suddenly took a weapon out of a drawer.
A flicker of fear appeared in everyone's eyes. The events that had just transpired outside were still fresh in their minds.
It had only been a few minutes, and now Ye Wantong had produced another weapon. Was she planning to tie them all up?
Ye Wantong saw what they were thinking. Her smile remained. "Everyone, don't worry. You might have misunderstood."
"This weapon is not aimed at you, but at myself."
"I said this jade pendant is a peerless treasure. You can all judge my words after you've seen it."
After Ye Wantong finished speaking, she took another knife from the drawer. She lightly tapped the table with the back of the knife, then raised her fair hand and forcefully plunged it into the table.
The sharp and sturdy dagger easily sank several centimeters deep.
"You all saw it, this knife is definitely not fake. I wouldn't be playing tricks on myself in front of so many people."
The crowd frowned, not understanding what Ye Wantong was doing.
But they could also see that the dagger was very sharp and definitely not a fake.
Ye Wantong wasn't in a hurry. She slowly picked up the dagger and, in front of everyone, plunged it fiercely towards her own heart.
This sudden action caused countless people to cry out in shock.
"It's over! Has Ye Wantong gone mad?"
"She's committing suicide in front of so many of us. What is she enduring? She called us here to auction a treasure, is this a performance of suicide for us to watch?"
Some people spoke without restraint, and after saying it, they regretted it themselves. Their gazes instinctively shifted towards Lin Xiaotian.
Lin Xiaotian leaned against the side as if he hadn't heard anything, his smiling expression unchanged.
But at this moment, a sudden exclamation rang out.
"Holy crap!"
This sound drew everyone's attention.
As they watched, the dagger was still more than ten centimeters away from Ye Wantong when a blue light seemed to illuminate and appear around Ye Wantong.
It was like an invisible gas, but it easily blocked the incredibly sturdy dagger.
This scene completely stunned everyone.
Their hearts were stirred by a tempestuous wave.
