Chapter 752 - Young Scholar Ryan

In the end, the Eternity Gold was won by the person in the VIP lounge #4. The spectators were awed by the entertaining show given by him and the young master from #1.

"Congratulations, Esteemed VIP!" Manager Xina went to the person in #4 and personally handed over the Eternity Gold, "Our Knight Protection Guarantee will surely protect you from harm so please be rest assured."

The auction house boasted their highly trained knights. With Knight Protection Guarantee, the clients were assured that they could get home safely.

"I actually don't need them." The person from the #4 finally revealed his face. He was a handsome 20 years old or so man with toned muscles. Wearing a robe and glasses, he was like a scholar of an academy, "That kid from #1 will surely hunt me when I'm out here, I don't want any of your knights to die."

The man knew how dangerous the young master was. After all, they had been known for a long time and it's not exaggerated if he say they had deep bond, albeit it wasn't friendship or anything positive.

Judging by that young master's pattern of personality, he would surely station assassins outside to kill me without resistance.

"Esteemed VIP, our knights are very powerful. Although they aren't the strongest, as long as you don't offend a Dao Monarch, they can protect you." Manager Xina was still urging the scholar. Things have to go to the right way or the master would get angry at her, "Please accept the guarantee."

"Manager Xina, the young master has a big brother who is a Dao Monarch. There is a possibility that he requested that guy right now to kill me." The scholar smiled wryly, "I can take care of myself. So please don't worry."

He wasn't bluffing, though. The young master had a big brother who was a monarch. Aside from that, the big brother spoiled this younger brother so much that everything was perfectly arranged, all the younger brother do was to enjoy the arrangements for him.

Manager Xina's lips trembled. She wanted to say something but seeing the serious expression of the scholar, she sighed and gave in, "Okay, then. But please take this jade. It will notify our knights once you are in danger. If in case, you are in a desperate situation, please don't hesitate to use it."

The scholar accepted the jade and nodded, "En, I will remember it."

After that talk, the scholar left the auction house eventually. He had no reason to stay here longer as it would greatly increase the danger he'd face.

The Desperate City was large. It'd take weeks to months to reach the end from end of the city by horse. The city was buzzling with business and liveliness. However, when there were grand buildings, there were also slums here where the poor usually live. Though it was only a small part of the city, many poor people were squeezing in this place. After all, the houses and apartment buildings in the city was something they couldn't afford to purchase or rent.

The scholar was carefully walking the slums. He was trying to get off the person chasing him. He was right, that young master would immediately dispatch a person who could get rid of him with no resistance.

"That hateful bastard will never change." The scholar couldn't help but curse. Right now, a minion of the monarch was chasing after him to lock him as the target. But he already escaped many times from this young master, it wouldn't be strange if he could escape again right now.

"It's useless hiding there." The voice of the person chasing the scholar sounded, "I can see you very well despite mixing well with the crowd."

"Then try and get me." The scholar smirked and answered, "Come, if you can afford to kill innocents here, come at me."

"You coward." The minion of the monarch gritted his teeth. Of course, he couldn't afford to kill innocents. The Desperate City was known to their ironclad rule of protecting the innocents. Those who crossed this line would receive a fate worse than death.

And it was already proven by Desperate City. No matter what kind of lineage backing you, the city would never ever let others hurt innocents especially the poor.

The city was known to be guarded by Monarch Slayers. How could a mere minion dare to cause trouble here and hurt the people? Unless he wanted to die that bad, he wouldn't dare to touch them.

That's why it was the perfect protection for the scholar. As long as the scholar was within the crowd, the protection of the city would be his. Of course, only in the city. Once he leave, he'd better hide well from this force.

"Bzz!" Out of the blue, the scholar felt his head spinning fast. He almost collapsed but fortunately there was a fence to hold on to. After which, his surrounding changed to his surprise.

He was no longer in the city. It was now a forest plane with only him there. After some realization, he cursed in deep breath and said, "These people have prepared well this time."

"That's right, asshole." The minion a while ago appeared with a sneer on his face, "You are dead now that we caught you. The Young Master is very eager to see your reaction when you slowly die. Of course, your fate can still change as long as you give us the Eternity Gold."

The scholar was about to answer when the butler of the young master appeared, "Young Scholar Ryan, you have brilliant future ahead of you. If you leave the Eternity Gold here, I can guarantee your safety despite the young master's dislike and hatred of you."

Ryan smirked and looked at the butler, "So in the end, your sect is desperate for the Eternity Gold? I'm sorry, but my sect is also in need of this. After all, we have a dying ancestor."

"Please be reminded of your current situation. You are in my domain, and it's impossible to break it unless I wish for it.." The butler was still calm and said, "Please don't wish death."
