Biting Servants? Then Be Dead Dogs!

The customers nearby laughed even harder.

"Hahaha, the Strength Clan really are nouveau riche."

"No class at all."

"Now they've offended a distinguished guest."

Quite a few people began watching the two make fools of themselves.

However.

Tai Long still refused to believe it. He stepped forward and demanded:

"Kid, are you really from the VIP section?"

Tai Long knew that the VIP section was not somewhere ordinary people could enter.

One had to be either a wealthy merchant or a high-ranking noble.

How could this shabbily dressed kid possibly have a VIP seat?

"Kid, you can actually enter the VIP section?"

Tai Long asked with an incredulous look.

"That isn't something someone in a first-class seat should know."

Zhou Tao remained composed. Though his expression gave nothing away, every word dripped with mockery.

A Soul Ancestor!

A Soul Grandmaster!

And they dared act this arrogantly?

If they wanted trouble.

Zhou Tao could reduce them to ashes whenever he pleased.

Tai Long flew into a rage at those words.

"You dare look down on us? Behind us stands the mighty Strength Clan."

"Kid, you'd better weigh your own strength carefully."

Zhou Tao laughed.

"You like causing trouble without thinking. Looks like your Strength Clan has lived too long."

Zhou Tao had originally had no intention of dealing with this Tang family servant clan that caused trouble without thinking.

But since they had come looking for him.

When it came to rabid dogs like these.

There was only one solution: eradicate them completely.

"You—"

Tai Long's face flushed bright red, and he instinctively wanted to attack.

However, the maid beside him immediately reminded him.

"Fighting is strictly forbidden in the auction house. Young Master Tai Long, please follow the rules."

Tai Long's raised hand froze in midair.

A mocking smile appeared at the corner of Zhou Tao's lips, as though he were laughing at him.

"Clown~"

With that, Zhou Tao turned and left, entering his VIP private room.

Leaving only Tai Nuo and Tai Long, the two clowns, standing stiffly where they were.

The VIP hall was a large, semi-open room in an excellent location, with a direct view of the auction platform at the center of the first floor.

Under the maid's guidance, Zhou Tao took his seat, enjoying the company of beautiful women and fine food as his gaze casually swept over the entire auction house.

Half an hour later, five auction items had already been sold.

Zhou Tao waited quietly for the Whale Rubber he wanted to appear.

The sixth auction item was brought onto the stage.

The auctioneer was a beautiful young married woman with a voluptuous figure.

She wore a perfectly tailored gown that accentuated her full, alluring curves.

"Distinguished guests, the next item is quite special."

Smiling, the beautiful woman lifted the red cloth.

On the tray lay three bluish-green gelatinous lumps, each the size of a goose egg.

"This Whale Rubber has been appraised by our experts and determined to be around two thousand years old."

Many people began whispering among themselves.

Whale Rubber was a gelatinous substance condensed within whale-type Spirit Beasts.

It was used to enhance sexual pleasure.

Some nobles were particularly fond of it.

But Soul Masters generally did not use such things.

So, it was not actually very expensive.

"The starting price is one thousand Gold Soul Coins."

"Each bid must increase by no less than one hundred Gold Soul Coins."

"1,200."

"1,300."

"1,400."

Several people bid in turn, while the others merely watched without much interest.

Until Zhou Tao called out:

"3,000 Gold Soul Coins."

"3,000 Gold Soul Coins! The distinguished guest has bid 3,000 Gold Soul Coins! Does anyone offer more?"

The beautiful woman's eyes lit up as she looked toward Zhou Tao's VIP seat.

Tai Long, seated in the first-class guest area, heard the familiar voice and turned to glance behind him.

"So it's that kid."

"He dares cross me."

"Let's see how I teach you a lesson."

The next moment, a malicious smile appeared on Tai Long's face.

"4,000 Gold Soul Coins!"

Tai Long shouted, deliberately raising his middle finger toward Zhou Tao.

"Malicious bidding?"

Zhou Tao frowned and continued bidding without expression.

"I bid 6,000 Gold Soul Coins!"

Come on, let's see how far this little servant can puff himself up.

"That's all? I bid 8,000 Gold Soul Coins!"

Tai Long said mockingly.

Zhou Tao smiled. He liked bidding wars?

"9,000 Gold Soul Coins."

Tai Long grew excited at that, determined to disgust Zhou Tao.

"10,000 Gold Soul Coins!"

Zhou Tao said nothing more.

This idiot was spending 10,000 Gold Soul Coins on thousand-year Whale Rubber.

Let him buy it.

There was plenty of Whale Rubber anyway.

"10,000 Gold Soul Coins, going once!"

"10,000 Gold Soul Coins, going twice!"

"10,000 Gold Soul Coins, going three times!"

Seeing that Zhou Tao had given up bidding, the beautiful woman brought down the hammer with a smile.

"If you don't have money, don't come to the auction house and make a fool of yourself."

"You think you can compete in bidding with that little wealth?"

Tai Long mocked smugly.

Tai Nuo did not stop him. Instead, his face was full of satisfaction.

The Strength Clan were devoted believers in the idea that "those who dared not cause trouble were mediocre."

"Nouveau riche are still nouveau riche. They treat something palm-sized like treasure."

"There's plenty of this stuff."

In his view, that Whale Rubber was worth at most two thousand Gold Soul Coins.

Zhou Tao coldly mocked them before slowly rising from his seat and calmly walking out of the auction house.

Leaving Tai Long frozen where he stood.

He felt that kid was not admitting defeat at all, but was instead mocking him...

What an idiot.

"What are you putting on an act for!"

"Dad, that kid is too arrogant. Let's go teach him a lesson."

Tai Long turned to Tai Nuo and said.

"He dared mock us. That kid really deserves a beating."

Tai Nuo said coldly.

The two immediately swaggered out of the auction house.

Night grew darker.

In an alley outside the auction house.

Zhou Tao felt a chill down his back, as if someone were watching him.

He focused his eyes and saw familiar figures appearing before and behind him.

Tai Nuo and Tai Long.

The two blocked him in from both sides.

As for what they wanted to do?

It was obvious.

"Kid, if you've got no money, why pretend to be a VIP?"

"My Strength Clan always repays every grievance!"

"With that little wealth, what are you pretending for?"

Tai Long said with a face full of disdain.

"Kid, you will pay for your arrogance with your life."

Tai Long said coldly.

In the Strength Clan's eyes, whoever had the bigger fist was the truth.

As long as they won by any means necessary, they were the winners, and no one would dare provoke them.

The next moment.

Tai Long and Tai Nuo both completed their Great Strength Gorilla Martial Soul Possession.

Their bodies rapidly grew half again as tall.

They transformed into savage giant gorillas covered in muscles and black fur.

Two yellow Spirit Rings instantly rose beneath Tai Long's feet.

Tai Nuo, meanwhile, had two yellow and two purple Spirit Rings.

Zhou Tao focused on Tai Nuo, since he was a Soul Ancestor expert.

"Kid, die."

The next moment, the two attacked from both sides at once, their iron fists smashing toward Zhou Tao.

The Great Strength Gorilla Martial Soul was known for its extreme power.

And every one of their Spirit Rings provided pure strength enhancement.

Their massive fists were like heavy hammers, carrying visible shockwaves as they blasted toward Zhou Tao.

But.

Zhou Tao moved quickly.

The next instant, Zhou Tao vanished, his entire body rising into the air.

Flame Dragon Breath!

Just as the two reached the spot where Zhou Tao had disappeared, a terrifying Fire Dragon came roaring straight at them.
