When they thought about it again, it makes sense. Yang Xin is willing to dispatch Gold rank experts to protect Nie Li, so she has definitely given him quite a bit of pocket money.
They both thought that Nie Li only had a good relations.h.i.+p with Yang Xin, hence they were sheltered by her.
What they didn't know and just touch the surface with their thoughts was that Nie Li's relations.h.i.+p with Yang Xin is an equal partners.h.i.+p relation. Within Nie Li's interspatial ring, is not only just simple pocket money.
After a few more hours they reached their destination.
Hong Yue Auction House
This auction house is opened by one of the n.o.ble families, the Hong Yue Family. The Hong Yue Family is an important existence within Glory City.
The surrounding five Aristocratic families listened to the Hong Yue Family's orders. Including the Heavenly Marks Family.
When the Heavenly Marks Family was being suppressed by Sacred Family, the Hong Yue Family distanced themselves from the Heavenly Marks Family.
However, due to the fact that the Alchemist a.s.sociation has a close relations.h.i.+p with the Heavenly Marks Family now, the Hong Yue Family started to get close to the Heavenly Marks Family.
People were coming in and out of the auction house. As members of an Aristocratic family, Nie Hai, Nie En, Nie Li and Lee were arranged to the second level of the VIP room.
Patriarchs of other Aristocratic families had also joined them.
Seeing several acquaintances, Nie Hai went up to greet them.
Nie Hai : "Patriarch Li Yuan, Patriarch Chi Feng, long time no see!!"
Li Yuan had the looks of a fifty-sixty-year-old man. Although his hair and beard were a little white, his spirit was very hale and hearty. He was the Patriarch of Li Yuan Family. Chi Feng, a slightly younger, but had a much bigger build was beside him. He was the Patriarch of the Tian Kui Family.
Li Yuan : "Patriarch Nie Hai, you haven't changed a bit."
Nie Hai : "Ha ha, it was by the blessings of you two!"
Nie Hai greeted. His relations.h.i.+p with Li Yuan and Chi Feng is still not bad. Even when the Heavenly Marks Family was being suppressed by the Sacred Family, Li Yuan and Chi Feng still made contacts with Nie Hai.
Seeing Nie Hai, Li Yuan and Chi Feng greeted each other. A good distance away, the Silver Tiger's Patriarch, Jiang Ming, and the Tie Men Family's Patriarch, Lei Zhuo, both revealed angry and jealous expressions.
Lei Zhuo : "Patriarch Nie Hai is really s.h.i.+ning with success!!"
Jiang Ming : "Right? Before, when he was being suppressed by the Sacred Family, he begged for someone to help them, almost even shamelessly kneeling down."
Jiang Ming : "Now that he has the protection of the Alchemist a.s.sociation, he can run around without any worry."
Jiang Ming : "But... how long can the Heavenly Marks Family be sheltered by the Alchemist a.s.sociation? Who knows when the time will come when they are suppressed by the Sacred Family again? I wonder if Patriarch Nie Hai will still be so carefree like he is today?"
Hearing the words of Lei Zhuo and Jiang Ming, Nie Hai's face slightly changed. Since the beginning, Lei Zhuo and Jiang Ming's family haven't been on good terms with Heavenly Marks Family.
The sarcasm within their speech made Nie Hai very unhappy. Of course, he will not show weakness. He will simply show that he was unconcerned.
Nie Hai : "Why is there such huge sour smell? It's true that the Heavenly Marks Family is being sheltered by the Alchemist a.s.sociation, at least we're better off than some family who is not close to their grandpa nor loved by their grandma."
Lei Zhuo and Jiang Ming's face were both sullen. Truth be told, they are indeed jealous of the Heavenly Marks Family. Now that the current Alchemist a.s.sociation is no longer compared to what it was in the past.
They even heard that the Alchemist a.s.sociation paid thirty percent more than the current market price to acquire the Heavenly Marks Family's herbs.
Furthermore, the Alchemist a.s.sociation also gave the Heavenly Marks Family quite a lot of high-graded elixirs, enough to nurture the younger generations. As for them, their herbs have no sales at all, and they can only sell it at a lower price.
Lei Zhuo : "You became henchmen of the Alchemist a.s.sociation and still act so proudly. You really think that the Alchemist a.s.sociation treats you like a treasure??"
Hearing Lei Zhuo's words, Li Yuan and Chi Feng also spoke up.
Li Yuan : "That's a poor remark from Patriarch Lei Zhuo. If the Heavenly Marks Family is a henchman of the Alchemist a.s.sociation, would the Alchemist a.s.sociation have the need to give the Heavenly Marks Family such beneficial conditions??"
Chi Feng : "Indeed. Obviously, the Alchemist a.s.sociation had requested the Heavenly Marks Family, which is why they gave the Heavenly Marks Family such beneficial conditions. Even the two of our families benefitted from them!!"
Li Yuan's Li Yuan Family and Chi Feng's Tian Kui Family both sold their herbs ten percent above the market price to the Heavenly Marks Family.
The Heavenly Marks Family then resells them to the Alchemist a.s.sociation. In between the two transactions, they were able to earn quite a bit.
They have already become one of the bodies of interest with the Heavenly Marks Family. It was considered compensation for not abandoning the Heavenly Marks Family when they were in distress.
Lei Zhuo and Jiang Ming both coldly snorted. They couldn't figure out is why would such a big power, like the Alchemist a.s.sociation, ask of the Heavenly Marks Family? They had also sent underlings to investigate this matter, but had no results.
There was a hint of hostility within the VIP room.
Nie En, Nie Li and Lee were both sitting by the side, sipping their tea. Since this is a fight between Patriarchs, it's not related to them. Therefore, they did not say anything.
Nie En : "The Silver Tiger Family and the Tie Men Family Patriarchs have always been overbearing. When the Heavenly Marks Family was being suppressed, they sent someone to buy two pieces of land from us at a low price!!"
The auction will soon begin. The respective Patriarch stood close to the observation area, looking far away.
The auctioneer responsible for the auctioning is a beautiful lady wearing an opaque silk cloth that paired with that delicate face of hers. She was filled with endless temptation. Everyone there had to admit that the Hong Yue Family is clever. With such a s.e.xy lady, they could easily heat up one's mind and cause them to pay big bucks.
Lei Zhuo : "Recently the Heavenly Marks Family had several business ventures with the Alchemist a.s.sociation on various herbs. They should have earned quite a bit. With Patriarch Nie Hai here, I'm afraid that the treasures of this auction will not have our share!"
Lee : "Two patriarchs are flattering. The Heavenly Marks Family have nothing except money. I'm afraid that the two patriarchs have no chance to acquire today's real treasure."
Lei Zhuo : "Brat, who are you? Are fit to talk to us? Can you represent the Heavenly Marks Family??"
Lee : "Me?? Why don't you ask the person behind you."
Lei Zhuo : "Behind me.??"
??? : "I heard a few people picking on my Husband and came running."
