Chapter 501 - The Grand Auction of Kuvosie (part-5)

A smiling Ryuu glided into the room with barely concealed giddiness as he spoke, "Well well what do we have here a bunch of honorless mongrels who tried to steal from us with one of them trying to murder the talented employee of Shangri-la, so let us see who are these great people hiding behind the mask and cowl."

"You wouldn't dare, my mask is full of poison if you touch it you would die."

Ryuu's smile widens as he spoke, "Are you a cultivator or not? Why would I need to touch it by my hands?"

With that, he waved his hand as the two thieves faced the audience while their mask was removed for the world to see, as many gasps rang through the crowd.

Ryuu tilted his head as he spoke, "I am sorry since I am new to this place can someone tell me about our esteemed pair of thieves' identity."

"They are Ji Lan and Han Yu, the former is the Elder who deals with the affair of Core Area Disciples of the Myriad Immortal Sects while the latter is the Elder who deals with the law and order of the same sect."

Ryuu looked at the speaker, who was a middle-aged looking person, as Ryuu cupped his fist as he spoke, "Thank you fellow Daoist."

He then turned towards the two thieves as he spoke with a snarl, "Disgraceful simply disgraceful, two people who are given the most honorable duty to guide young minds and teach them to be better beings are petty thieves such disgraceful."

"Release us or else you will be making be making enemies you could not perceive to overcome."

As one of them shouted out Ryuu could only sigh as he spoke, "Because of cultivators like you the next generations are becoming trash how could someone an educator be like you, and how could your sect hand over such important positions to thieving trash like you."

"Shut it, you are new comer and you do not have the authority to judge us, as such release immediately."

"Yeah release the elders of our sect, our patriarch will not tolerate such insult on our great sect."

Ryuu narrowed his eyes as he looked at the bald speaker as he spoke, "So your patriarch sent you here."

The person puffed his c.h.e.s.t as he spoke, "Yes he did."

"I see so you patriarch sent you here to destroy our reputation, steal from us, and murder my employee, is that right?"

The person was stunned as he quickly stammered back, "N-no I…"

"Enough, I had enough with the lots of you, I invited you all like a good host, I arranged everything so that you all will be comfortable enough yet you dare to cause trouble I have enough with you, security escort that man out, I do not need people from some thieving sect to cause trouble for civilized and gentle cultivators."

As the security began to move towards the person in the audience a familiar voice came to Ryuu's ears.

"Fellow Daoist please one of those thieves is a member of our clan, would you please hand him over so that he can face justice for dragging our clan's name in the mud."

As the person spoke Ryuu caught a small smile appear on Ji Lan's face which disappeared as fast as it had arrived, 'I see so his clan is trying to rescue him'

As such with a benevolent smile on his face Ryuu spoke, "Of course, I would hand him over to you after we have thoroughly grilled him for information after all such a blatant disregard of security."

"Fellow Daoist please give us some face."

Ryuu gave him a small smile as he spoke, "Fellow Daoist your fellow clan member has commited a heinous crime against us and the normal procedure is having him castrated and binding his dantian and then sending him to work in some remote mine where he would remain until the day he dies, but I am giving you some face by allowing you to have the filthy thief back after we grill him for information."

A gasp of shock ran through the audience as Han Yu began to beg for mercy only for another familiar voice to interrupt him, "How dare you! You will apologize and release our uncle post haste or the JI clan will flatten your little hut and drive you o… mppphhh", a brief struggle was heard before the person's voice came from the booth.

As Ryuu shook his head as he spoke out loud, "So this is how you give me face, you come to my auction house, cause trouble and now you wish me to return the thief back to you, hmmp, dream on."

"Fellow Daoist you are making a grave mistake, crossing our family like that is not good for your health or your auction house."

Ryuu sneered back at him as he spoke, "I can see from where your nephew gets his arrogance form, and as for Shangri-La you seem to have forgotten that Shangri-La has been long since establish even before your great great grandfather was a thought of, we are not restricted to a planet, or a star system, or a Galaxy but we have branches and business all over the Universe, we have employees who are strong enough to erase planets with a thought as such I would love to see you try."

"That's it you bastard, let me at him uncle I will beat him until his grandfather begs mercy."

As Ji Naan screamed out in outrage many were projecting various states of annoyance none more than the Vance family.

Su-Min spoke with annoyance in her face as she spoke, "What is Ryuu doing? He should drag the arrogant idiot out and slaughter him."

"Now kneel before and know tow before this grandpa and beg for mercy."

Ryuu blinked owlishly as he looked towards the direction of the voice, as he could not help but slammed by the feeling of disbelief before realization dawned in him, 'Ah I see, so that is the case he is suffering from some severe mental deficiency now I feel for the family.', his thoughts then drifted to other members of the family as his pity for them increased several-fold, 'Ah so it must be genetic deficiency now I feel pity for them.'

Ryuu shook his head as he turned to leave with the two thieves in tow who were immobilized yet floating behind him as they shouted out, "Ouch ouch don't pull the ears so hard ouch."

Their shouts drew a few chuckles from the onlookers as the dagger thrown towards the female auctioneer floated towards Ryuu who raised the index finger of his right hand as the dagger began to rotate while floating above it.

"You filthy son of a used up whor…."

That was all he said before an immense sense of dread crept up his spine and he was not the only one who felt that as many trembled in fear as Ryuu spoke his voice and the look on his face made much sweat with fear none more than JI Naan who was a hairbreadth from suffering a heart attack as he found himself facing Ryuu's fury.

"I thought you acting as such was a degenerative disease or a trash cultivator who barely manage to reach Primal Daoist level would speak in such a manner, then I thought it might be genetic disorder from watching your family but now I know that you all are nothing but uncivilized cretins wearing the body of humans, unfortunately Shangri-La does not cater to beings like you."

Ryuu took a deep breath as he spoke in an authoritative tone, "I, Ryuu using my authority in Shangri-La hereby ban the members of JI clan from using any facilities or avail any services of Shangri-La with a pain of Class 3 punishment for the next Five thousand years."

As he spoke everyone felt a slight scorching breeze pass through them as Ryuu shouted out again, "Security have those fools thrown out of my building and return everything they have spent I do not wish to hear whining about how much they had paid, also please re-circulate and re-auction anything that they have bought."

Now it was the older one who snarled in anger, "You dare, you dare…"

"Yes I dare, now shoo we are all busy."

As the Ji clan members left the one who was trying to suppressing Ji Naan spoke out loud, "Today you have made a big mistake I know higher ups from your auction house a puny general manager you are biting more than you chew, if by the end of the week I do not make you beg for forgiveness on your knees I will change my name."

Ryuu casually waved towards him as he spoke, "Yeah it was my great disp.l.e.a.s.u.r.e to meet you Daoist Ji Dog shit now get lost and do not darken my doors for next five thousand years, in fact please do so."

With that Ryuu left the stage leaving behind an audience that was boiling with excitement about the repercussion of the events that took place.

While Ryuu carried over the prisoners one of them spoke with a smug look on his face, "You are doomed you hear me you are…ack."

He let out a painful cry as he felt himself being crushed to a pulp courtesy of Ryuu who did not even bother to look at him as he spoke, "Sister Yu Wu, this thieves seemed to be repentant and as such as a means of atonement would like everything that is with them to be sold, I will open the space ring shortly and you can auction of their contents and for those things that you deem is not suitable for us to even sale there are plenty of beggars that roam around in Kuvosie's street."

Yu Wu gave a nod as she spoke, "As you wish boss but the threat from the Ji clan…."

"You do not need to worry about in fact I would like to see who in Shangri-La would like to side with outsiders who tried to harm our reputation, also send the janitor to clean the balcony I believe it might be unsanitary from having a pile of shit occupying it."
