Chapter Three:
"Ding! Congratulations, Host, on using a Character Summoning Card!"
As Lin Shu picked up the Character Summoning Card and silently commanded it to summon,
the Summoning Card vanished.
The next moment,
the notification sounded again:
"Ding! Congratulations, Host, on summoning a Titled Douluo Guard Company!"
???
Lin Shu could hardly believe it. He suspected he had misheard.
"System, repeat that again?"
However,
the system clearly had no intention of responding to Lin Shu.
Lin Shu could only check it himself.
Titled Douluo Guard Company Number: 300 Company Commander: (1 person) Level 99 Titled Douluo Deputy Company Commander: (1 person) Level 98 Titled Douluo Platoon Commanders: (3 people) Level 97 Titled Douluo Members: Level 90 to 94 Titled Douluo
After examining it closely, Lin Shu's gaze instantly went blank.
This Character Summoning was simply too heaven-defying.
In an instant, he had summoned three hundred Titled Douluo.
There was even a Level 99 Peerless Douluo among them.
Titled Douluo were not common across the continent, but there were still some.
Every top-tier faction and top-tier soul beast race had quite a few.
Even the Langya Auction House had possessed five before.
But a Peerless Douluo—since they were called peerless, they stood at the pinnacle of the continent.
Even among top-tier factions, such peerless existences might not be present.
At that moment, all of Lin Shu's previous worries instantly vanished into thin air.
With this three-hundred-strong Titled Douluo Guard Company, any difficulty was nothing but a passing cloud.
Even the Langya Hall definitely did not possess such terrifying strength.
If Lin Shu wished, he could establish a kingdom in a short time. Though it could not compare with the Yaoquan Empire, it would still be enough to rule vast territories and become the lord of a region.
Unfortunately, that held no meaning for Lin Shu.
What mattered most to Lin Shu were Auction Points.
Creating a kingdom would be far more difficult to manage than the Langya Auction House.
Even a small kingdom had tens of millions of people. Once Lin Shu established one, unless he intended to become a tyrant, he would have to take responsibility for their food, clothing, housing, travel, and all kinds of other welfare.
That was far too troublesome.
Though the Langya Auction House had considerable influence in the Land of Barbarian Martial Hundred Cities, the combined total of guards, staff, management, and everyone else from the main branch and all sub-branches did not exceed fifty thousand.
That was much simpler.
"However, the first thing I need to do now is purge the entire Langya Auction House!"
"I must firmly seize control of the right to speak. As for the traitors, not a single one can be spared!"
With that thought,
Lin Shu immediately summoned one company commander, one deputy company commander, and all three platoon commanders.
As for the others, his room could not hold them for the time being. He could summon them later.
The next moment,
five people suddenly appeared within Lin Shu's bedroom.
Information about them also appeared in Lin Shu's mind.
Company Commander: Yu Lian Realm: Level 99 Titled Douluo
Deputy Company Commander: Yu Fu Realm: Level 98 Titled Douluo
First Platoon Commander: Yu Yi Realm: Level 97 Titled Douluo
Second Platoon Commander: Yu Er Realm: Level 97 Titled Douluo
Third Platoon Commander: Yu San Realm: Level 90 Titled Douluo
"Greetings, Master!"
The five men immediately bowed after appearing.
Lin Shu waved his hand.
"No need for formalities."
"Yes, Master!"
Then,
Lin Shu said,
"You five, come with me!"
With that,
Lin Shu directly opened the bedroom door.
Outside the door, Lin Ye was just about to push it open.
He had noticed that several new auras had suddenly appeared in the Young Master's room.
Those auras were quite powerful, enough to make even him feel oppressed.
But he was unafraid. Even if he had to die, he had to die before the Young Master.
Before he could push open the door, he saw the Young Master emerge.
The moment he saw Lin Shu, Lin Ye flashed to his side and shielded him, his eyes fixed intently on the five men who had just been summoned.
"Don't even think about coercing the Young Master!"
Lin Shu knew Lin Ye had misunderstood, so he smiled and said,
"Uncle Ye, there's no need for this. These five are my subordinates."
Subordinates?
Lin Ye did not believe it at all.
The auras of these five were all powerful, even stronger than his own. They were definitely Titled Douluo.
How could the Young Master possibly have five Titled Douluo as subordinates? He must have been coerced into saying that.
Helpless, Lin Shu could only look toward the five men. Seeing his gaze, they immediately understood and bowed.
"We truly are Master's subordinates!"
Only then did Lin Ye finally believe it.
Every Titled Douluo was a powerhouse in their own right. They would never bow to someone weaker than themselves.
Yet these five Titled Douluo were willing to bow to the Young Master and even addressed him as Master.
In that case, they could not possibly be people coercing the Young Master. Otherwise, they would not behave or address him this way.
Even now, Lin Ye still felt as though he were dreaming.
How had the Young Master suddenly gained five Titled Douluo subordinates?
Even the Guild Master could not have done such a thing when he was alive, could he?
Lin Shu did not explain. Instead, he said,
"There are traitors within the Auction House. Uncle Ye should know that as well."
"If the Auction House is to develop, we must purge these people!"
"Uncle Ye, issue a notice in my name. Tell all the management personnel of the Auction House's main branch to gather at the Central Deliberation Hall, saying we will discuss the matter of the Guild Master's succession!"
Lin Shu knew that although he had inherited the Auction House in name, many people refused to accept it. If he simply ordered them to come, quite a few would surely be unwilling.
But if he said it concerned the Guild Master's succession, they would definitely come.
After all, whether or not they had ambitions for the position of Guild Master, they would come to see what was happening.
Lin Shu looked at the five men beside him.
"You five, conceal yourselves and simply follow me. Once this matter is settled, you will no longer need to hide!"
If Lin Shu directly revealed that he had five Titled Douluo by his side, he would not be able to uncover anything.
If only he and Lin Ye went, those people would surely jump out, relying on their strength.
Then, he could catch them all in one sweep and kill them without mercy!
Very quickly,
Lin Ye sent out the notice, delivering Lin Shu's message to every manager of the Langya Auction House's main branch.
As for Lin Shu and Lin Ye, they headed for the Langya Grand Hall.
Important matters were generally discussed there.
The main branch's managers all lived near the Langya Auction House's main branch.
After all, the Guild Master had only recently met with misfortune, and there were many matters within the Auction House to handle. They would not leave.
Before long, people began arriving at the Langya Grand Hall one after another.
Some would pay their respects to Lin Shu upon arriving and offer greetings.
Others simply sat down by themselves, not taking Lin Shu seriously at all.
Clearly, in their eyes, Lin Shu was too young and unqualified to take charge of the Langya Auction House.
Lin Shu saw it all and silently took note.
Half an hour later,
dozens of people had gathered within the hall.
These people were all upper-ranking members of the Langya Auction House.
Among them, the First Elder and Second Elder were the leaders.
Below the Guild Master, the Langya Auction House had the Elder Council.
The Elder Council consisted of ten people in total.
Lin Shu was not too clear about the other elders.
But he knew the First Elder and Second Elder very well.
That was because each of them had invited a Titled Douluo to oversee the Langya Auction House. Their status within the Auction House could be said to be pivotal.
Many people stood on their side.
Sure enough,
the moment the First Elder arrived, he immediately spoke in an overbearing, elder-like manner.
"Nephew Lin, it seems you've thought it through. Are you ready to give up the position of Guild Master?"
Lin Shu gave a disdainful smile.
"So you still know to use the word 'give up,' do you?"
The instant those words were spoken,
the entire hall fell silent!
