At this moment, Bibi Dong's conscious awareness was growing weaker and weaker.

Of the two consciousnesses, the dormant one gradually gained dominance, eroding the other, the conscious one.

"Silly Da Bai, I'm about to fall asleep. I don't know if I can stay awake until I get home."

"I hope you bastard don't try to take advantage of me."

"Of course, if you take advantage of me without my knowledge, I can turn a blind eye as long as it's not excessive."

Bibi Dong's wisp of consciousness blushed and thought to herself.

If this wisp of consciousness could speak, it would be like a little girl blushing and whispering softly.

Du Bai's earnest and tender demeanor in protecting Bibi Dong made some of the onlookers quite entertained.

"A perfect match, a match made in heaven, and they're rich, powerful, and influential too! I'm so envious!"

"Waaaaah, may all the rich people find their happy ending!"

These are the genuine thoughts of some onlookers who are just watching the drama unfold.

Meanwhile, the three Titled Douluo, Golden Crocodile, Pufferfish, and Snake Lance, had already heard President Zhuge Jin's reply.

"Oh--"

"What about Old Ghost Ouyang from your auction house?"

"He shouldn't be dead yet, right? Why doesn't he come to see his old friends?"

Snake Lance Douluo still had a smile on his face and spoke jokingly.

Upon hearing this, President Zhuge Jin's forehead vein bulged, and a surge of anger welled up in his heart.

Immediately, President Zhuge Jin forcibly suppressed his anger.

Old Ghost Ouyang is none other than Ouyang Hongwen, the previous president of the Heaven Dou Auction House.

The Spirit Hall elder's unfriendly and provocative tone infuriated President Zhuge Jin.

Not only was President Zhuge Jin angry, but the other staff members were also very angry.

"Damn it, these three old men are really going too far! How dare they be so disrespectful to our former President Ouyang! It's so impolite!"

Some of the auction house staff nearby were secretly furious.

However, they dared not speak out against their anger, keeping it all bottled up inside, afraid of offending the powerful figures in front of them, as they could not bear the consequences.

Zhuge Jin suppressed his anger and tried his best to calm himself down.

"President Ouyang is not feeling well and cannot come. Please forgive him, senior!"

"This junior is Zhuge Jin, the current president of the auction house!"

"On behalf of the auction house, I apologize to our seniors and distinguished guests!"

"This matter was indeed due to negligence on our part at the auction house. We are willing to compensate you, our valued guests, with one million Gold Soul Coin as a token of our apology!"

"At the same time, we will severely punish these two audacious thieves and give you a satisfactory explanation!"

President Zhuge Jin controlled her emotions and tried her best to speak with sincerity.

After President Zhuge Jin finished speaking, all the onlookers present felt a sudden tremor in their hearts.

One million Gold Soul Coin is an astronomical figure!

The auction house's humiliating stance this time suggests they've truly reached a point of no return!

Unconsciously, everyone looked at Du Bai, Golden Crocodile, and the others with utmost awe.

Although I was angry at their aggressive behavior, I felt even more awe towards them.

The one who tied the knot must untie it.

The reason why Golden Crocodile, Porcupine, Serpent Spear Douluo, and others made things difficult for President Zhuge Jin was simply to give Holy Son Du Bai a chance.

Therefore, the compensation proposed by President Zhuge Jin ultimately depends on whether Saint Du Bai is satisfied with it.

The two Titled Douluo, Golden Crocodile and Pufferfish, stood with their hands behind their backs, their faces full of arrogance, maintaining order.

Snake Lance Douluo then looked at Du Bai and spoke in a polite tone:

"Holy Son, what do you think of the compensation offered by the auction house?"

If you're not satisfied, feel free to let me know!

"With us backing you up, you don't need to be afraid of any tricks the Heaven Dou Auction House might pull!"

Snake Lance Douluo's words carried a hint of flattery and protectiveness.

This immediately drew envious glances from the surrounding onlookers.

Who wouldn't want a powerful Titled Douluo to protect them?

Moreover, this young man in front of us is not protected by just one Titled Douluo, but by a full three Titled Douluo powerhouses!

This made everyone envious.

Du Bai, the person in question, was taken aback upon hearing this, not expecting that Snake Lance Douluo and the others were quite adept at this kind of tactic.

Surprisingly, it actually made me like them more.

"Since that's the case, I won't be polite anymore!"

A glint flashed in Du Bai's mind, and he decided to plunder a sum of Gold Soul Coin from the Heaven Dou Auction House.

"Hehe, your auction house still owes me 1.5 billion Gold Soul Coin. It's not too much for me to charge some interest now!"

Du Bai chuckled to himself.

Then, Du Bai looked at the three Titled Douluo elders: Snake Lance, Golden Crocodile, Pufferfish.

"Thank you, elders, for standing up for me."

Du Bai thanked him politely, but he still had to maintain appearances.

"You are welcome."

Golden Crocodile, Pufferfish, and Snake Lance Spear waved their hands and said in unison.

"Um!"

Du Bai hummed in response, indicating that he would not be polite then.

Then, Du Bai looked sharply at President Zhuge Jin and said calmly:

"My wife is currently in a coma because of these two thugs!"

"One million Gold Soul Coin as compensation is too little; I will not accept it!"

Upon hearing this, a sinister glint flashed across President Zhuge Jin's snake-like face.

"One million isn't enough? They're trying to rip me off at the auction house!"

President Zhuge Jin suddenly realized that he had guessed the intention of the person in front of him.

Not only President Zhuge Jin, but many other staff members at the auction house also guessed that this young man was going to ask for an exorbitant amount.

"Then, esteemed guest, how much compensation do you think is appropriate?"

Zhuge Jin controlled his emotions and spoke.

President Zhuge Jin felt disgusted by Du Bai in front of him.

Because, President Zhuge Jin once suspected that this Du Bai was the same Du Changxiao.

However, he had no evidence.

Furthermore, given Du Bai's powerful background, President Zhuge Jin had no choice but to accept defeat.

"Not much, five million Gold Soul Coin!"

"As for these two petty thieves, I'll handle them myself!"

"Finally, your auction house needs to give me a satisfactory apology!"

Du Bai spoke in a harmless manner.

Upon hearing this, President Zhuge Jin's gaze sharpened.

The staff at the other auction houses also gasped in shock.

The entire space fell silent instantly.

"Five million Gold Soul Coin as compensation? Are you sure you're not here to rob me?!"

These are the true thoughts of President Zhuge Jin, other staff members, and onlookers.

"Young Master Du Bai, you're amazing, my young master!"

"Five million Gold Soul Coin in one go! Following the young master really does bring good fortune!"

Taino, Tai Tan, Tailong all shared the same opinion when they saw what was happening before them.

Yu Chenglong and Boss Zheng Banqiao also came.

At this moment, Zheng Banqiao couldn't help but lean close to Yu Chenglong and whisper:

"That's how you make money! If you have the power, you can extort money from the other party, and the weak have no choice but to comply!"

"Did you know that, Cheng Long?!"

Zheng Banqiao was teaching Yu Chenglong.

Goodnight, everyone! Good afternoon! Good morning! Wishing you all a happy and healthy day!
