The stout old man who was dating Alice walked up to the elder. After he mustered up some courage, he opened his mouth.
"Sir, there must be some kind of misunderstanding. I can explain..." the stout man said to the elder gingerly.
However, the elder just cast him an indifferent glance. He turned around and made his way towards the exit of the auction hall.
"Prepare yourself. You will become a pauper in a few days.
That's the consequence of offending the wrong person,"
the alluring woman said and then followed the elder out of the room.
"Humph! So what if you are richer than me?
I don't believe that you can turn me into a beggar... not within a few days... not ever!"
the stout old man shouted angrily.
The old man and the beautiful girl had already left the auction room before the stout old man could finish his sentence.
A couple of days later, all the stout man's companies suffered great losses due to different problems. Some of his corporations got hammered in the stock market, while others took a nosedive.
Moreover, he had been filed lawsuits. Not only did he lose everything he owned, but he also became debt-ridden. In just a week, he had become a pauper.
To no one's surprise, Alice split up with him in an instant.
That was the fate of the old stout man after he left the auction house.
Meanwhile, Austin headed straight to the suburbs.
Not long after he walked out of the auction house, a large number of people rushed out and followed him closely.
Fortunately, he could see his pursuers using his spiritual sense.
He called for a cab and went straight to the suburbs.
Although martial artists had a very high status in the modern society, they avoided breaking the law for they did not want to go against the government in public.
After all, the contemporary civilization was regulated by the constitution and its bylaws.
Therefore, those martial artists did not take action in the city. Instead, they followed Austin to the suburbs.
Soon, Austin came into a deserted place.
According to the cab driver, this place used to be mass grave a long time ago.
Austin got off the car and stepped into the wilderness. He found himself on a deserted open field. Then, he sat cross-legged and closed his eyes.
He unleashed his spiritual sense to perceive his surroundings. Immediately, he sensed off-road vehicles making their way towards him at a fast speed from afar.
'Ever since I merged with my original body, I have received less suppressing force from nature that was against me.
My vital energy rea
il now, no one had any clue about the location of its headquarters.
However, every martial artist knew that they could not afford to provoke this enigmatic sect.
Everyone considered them as a force not to be reckoned with.
There was a great number of members in the Divine Moon Sect, and some of them were great masters.
Its members seldom left its headquarters.
However, every time they showed up, they would do something that would surely shock the martial artists all over the world.
For example, ten years ago, the members of the Divine Moon Sect suddenly appeared and captured some young martial artists with extraordinary talents. Rumors had it that they were conducting a secret experiment.
After some time, all the martial artists took action against their infamous project. Eventually, they stopped catching talented martial artists.
When people heard that the old man in black was from the Divine Moon Sect, they felt their legs weaken due to fear. None of them thought twice and distanced themselves even further from the elder.
All of a sudden, an old man who was about sixty years old got off a luxury car.
"Sir, please.
We all know that this brat has magic pills.
To be honest, we just came here for those pills.
We have no intention of getting involved in your problems.
After we get all his pills, you can resolve whatever matters you have with him," the elder who had left the luxury car said with a laugh.
He was exceedingly fast. Even though he was still over five hundred meters away, it only took him a few strides to reach Austin. As he stood there, he released a strong force.
"Another master at the Subliming Force Realm!"
The crowd were all shocked.
