Chapter 917: Overweening Attitude
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
A wealthy man from M Nation already did not hold Gu Jingze in high regard from the moment Gu Jingze stepped into this place.
He felt that this newbie didn’t bother to look at anyone when he came here and immediately disappeared after meeting with the Han and Yun families. This newbie was only reappearing now. Who did he think he was?
Even though he did not come from here, he should have known the one golden rule: When in Rome, do as the Romans do. He should have at least humbled himself and greeted all the wealthy families first.
But he did not.
Furthermore…
He even had some kind of relationship with the Yun family’s Yun Luo.
In M Nation, countless people visited the Yun family as they wanted to see Yun Luo. They were interested in Yun Luo and wanted to get to know her. However, the Yun family always found excuses to push them away.
Now, the enigmatic princess in everyone’s eyes actually had such a good relationship with him. She simply went straight to him and ignored everyone else.
Was Yun Luo blind?
Everyone couldn’t get over it. However, nobody had the chance to speak up because he never once looked at these people. They had nowhere to voice their unhappiness.
Thus, he also could not get over it. He decided to challenge Gu Jingze this way.
Hearing Si Yi say this, he also stood up and said, “This won’t do unless he gives up. I like this item and I’m doing it for charity. I don’t care how much I spend, so it all depends on whether he gives up or not. Anyway, I will be raising my bidding paddle until the end.”
Gu Jingze sat cross-legged on the velvet sofa. Without turning his head to look back, he plainly held the cup of coffee in front of him and took a sip. Then, he said coldly, “Then let’s continue with the auction.”
The organizers had no other choice. These wealthy people loved saving their faces. It looked like they could only continue and see who would cave in.
However, after a few more rounds, the host could not watch any longer.
“Gentlemen, why don’t you take a few minutes to think this through? Although we are very happy to raise such funds, we know there are limits. We can’t waste anyone’s money and this is our moral. We are not unscrupulous fundraisers. We would like to give everyone good items so that everyone will be satisfied today.”
That man once again grunted. “I only want this item.”
At this moment, Gu Jingze also suddenly stood up.
When he stood up, he looked a lot taller than the man behind. He looked behind and said plainly, “Just give up. I’ll pay you the bidding price. Take it that you’re giving up willingly.”
The whole place was stunned silent. What did he mean?
Gu Jingze continued, “This also means that we are now at the price of thirteen million yuan. I’ll pay for it and give you another thirteen million yuan. Take it that you give up.”
Everyone immediately realized that this man… really knew how to humiliate others.
That man then responded, “Ha, what’s the meaning of this? Do you think I care about your money? Do you think I want your money?”
Gu Jingze spoke slowly, “I’m advising you to take it because if the bidding price goes any higher, I may not be willing to do the same anymore.”
The man heard this and immediately said, “Ha, just give up if you can’t afford it. I don’t care if it goes up to a billion yuan. I can afford the price.”
He also felt that he was being insulted. Of course, he was not going to back down like this.
Gu Jingze scoffed. “No, you got it wrong. It doesn’t matter to me how much the item costs but the money I’m offering you can’t go any higher because…” He chuckled, “You’re only worth that much.”
“…” The man was so triggered by Gu Jingze that his face turned purple like an eggplant.
He was so angry that he wanted to lunge at Gu Jingze.
“How… How dare you insult me?! Where did you come from, you bastard? Do you want to die? Who do you think you are, coming to M Nation and acting all arrogant?!”
Nobody here had ever seen such a madman either. Looking at Gu Jingze, the entire floor was bewildered. The wealthy families present immediately broke into chatter.
However, Gu Jingze was not willing to back down at all. Looking in that man’s direction, he asked, “How is this considered an insult? I believe I have given you a high price based on my evaluation of you and on account that I don’t want any trouble.”
“Don’t stop me. I will kill this man!” He exclaimed wildly as he stood there. “Hmph. Stinking lad soiling our M Nation! Don’t you know who I am? Hmph, I’ll show you. I’ll see how you can still leave this place after provoking me!”
Because needless to say, those who could come here were wealthy people. However, as M Nation was not big, all the wealthy people were known. Those who were unfamiliar were obviously not from M Nation.
Gu Jingze raised his chin proudly. “Alright. Not only do I want to leave this place, but I also want to take you with me so that I can help keep this place clean.”
This obviously meant that he was trash.
That man huffed and called out, “Men! All of you, come in here! Ha, I have not worked out in a very long time and my men are already trained. Nobody has given me the chance to practice for over a year and a half. Is that what you’re here for?”
After a while, people rushed in from the outside.
A sea of black filled the arc-shaped auditorium.
Everyone knew that this man was a famous gangster in M Nation who later took the lawful path. However, he still had many fighters under him.
Although his path was not pure, he was now one of the wealthy families in M Nation and he had very strong foundations.
It could be said that anyone here actually had good backgrounds. Those who were unworthy would have no chance of entering this place.
Although Gu Jingze had a few bodyguards standing behind him, everyone could see that they were outnumbered.
That man immediately became arrogant as he looked at Gu Jingze and scoffed coldly. “What are you looking at? If you’re thinking of taking back what you said… Let me tell you that it’s too late. I will show you the consequences of empty bragging.”
Gu Jingze’s eyes swept over the group casually. Although they looked strong, these people… Tsk, tsk. Clearly, they lacked skills.
Gu Jingze’s gaze gradually fell on the man. His voice was light and airy without an ounce of warmth.
“I will say the same to you.”
Then, with a subtle signal from his eyes, his men suddenly barged in from the outside. In an instant, those proud fighters who surrounded them were immediately ambushed and pushed to the middle.
In replacement were Gu Jingze’s men standing uniformly there. Each one of them stood as tall and straight as poles.
Gu Jingze said, “I’ve never been kind towards people like you. How do you want to be sent out of here? I’ll gladly fulfill your wish.”
This overweening attitude instantly fired up the entire venue.
