Serves You Right

Besides, this was the Baroque Kingdom, not the Star Luo Empire.

If things blew up—

The three of them would all be finished here.

After all, as an outpost of the Heaven Dou Empire, the Baroque Kingdom had never gotten along with the Star Luo Empire!

If there were a massacre here, they would be hunted down relentlessly!

Finally, amid everyone's anticipation.

A young woman walked onto the stage with seductive steps!

She held an exquisite box in her hands.

Then she looked up, her beautiful eyes sweeping across the crowd. "Today's auction is a special one, and also the most special day of my career as an auctioneer!"

At that, she revealed a brilliant smile.

"Seeing everyone's smiles, I believe you already know. That's right, our Auction House will be auctioning off a Soul Bone today! And this auction will feature only this one Soul Bone!"

"That's right, today is a special single-item auction!"

"Come on! Let us all witness this historic moment!"

As she spoke, the beauty slowly opened the box in her hands.

In an instant, everyone's eyes focused on the box.

The moment the box was fully opened.

Everyone's eyes widened.

They cried out, "It's empty?"

Si Tingxuan was stunned as well.

After making such a huge fuss, the box that was supposed to hold the Soul Bone was actually empty.

This joke had gone a little too far!

"Bastards! Are you playing us?"

"Tell the owner to get out here! Give us an explanation!"

"Fuck, I even brought my pants—ah, no, I brought my money, and this is what you're showing us?"

At that moment, three middle-aged people—two men and a woman—charged forward.

They snatched the box away.

After examining it repeatedly, they found no mechanisms or anything unusual.

The Soul Bone was simply gone.

The woman in the lead roared at the auctioneer, "Where's my Soul Bone?! If you don't hand it over today, don't even think about leaving alive!"

Clearly, the three of them were the original owners of the Soul Bone.

With the Soul Bone gone, no one could be more anxious than they were.

The auctioneer froze, then pointed at the box with an incredulous expression. "Wasn't the Soul Bone placed inside? Can't you see it?"

The three of them changed expression and immediately looked into the box.

It was still completely empty. There was not even the slightest trace of a Soul Bone!

"Are you playing us?"

The three instantly flew into a rage, murderous intent surging from their bodies without concealment.

If looks could kill, the auctioneer would have died hundreds or thousands of times by now.

The auctioneer was badly frightened. With a face full of grievance and fear, she said, "The Soul Bone was clearly inside the box!"

At that moment, an old man walked out slowly with a grim expression. "She must have been affected by a mental-type soul skill!"

The three looked at the old man. The woman said, "Old Liu, we don't care whether she was hit by a mental-type soul skill or not. Today, your Auction House either returns our Soul Bone or compensates us. Otherwise, don't blame the three of us for disregarding the rules."

Old Liu said, "Wu Xue, Wu Zheng, Wu Chao, rest assured. Whether we recover the Soul Bone or not, you won't suffer any losses. But you must help find the person who stole it."

Wu Xue, Wu Zheng, and Wu Chao exchanged glances, then nodded. "Fine!"

Since they would not suffer any losses, they naturally gave Old Liu some face.

But the crowd below erupted.

"Fuck. Does that mean the Soul Bone was stolen?"

"Who the hell is that amazing? They actually managed to steal the Soul Bone from here?"

"The Soul Bone is gone, so didn't we come here for nothing?"

"And you still dared charge one Gold Soul Coin per person for admission? Refund our money!"

"Refund us! Refund us!"

Most of the people here were low-level folk who had never seen a Soul Bone before.

They had been willing to pay one Gold Soul Coin each only to broaden their horizons.

Yet in the end, they had not seen a damn thing.

How could they not be anxious?

Old Liu swept his gaze across everyone present, then said coldly, "The person who stole the Soul Bone must still be here. This place will be sealed off. Before the Soul Bone is found, no one may leave."

"Of course, once it is found, I will apologize to everyone and offer suitable compensation!"

"So please cooperate. Otherwise..."

It had to be said that Old Liu handled matters in an extremely domineering manner!

Moreover, the killing intent in his expression actually silenced everyone present.

Clearly, he possessed considerable authority in this town. Otherwise, he could not have cowed everyone with a single sentence.

Shouting a few complaints was one thing, but clearly no one dared truly oppose him.

Si Tingxuan scratched his head and gave a bitter smile. This was nothing but a farce!

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Three figures leaped down from the VIP Room on the second floor.

They landed before Old Liu and Wu Xue, Wu Zheng, and Wu Chao.

Wu Xue, Wu Zheng, and Wu Chao's expressions changed drastically, their eyes filled with terror.

However, the three were exceptionally good at concealing their emotions, and they returned to normal in an instant.

If anyone had noticed their earlier reaction, they might have wondered whether they had simply seen things.

Old Liu frowned slightly. "May I ask what you mean by this?"

Old Liu was wary of those who had come down from the VIP Room, so he did not speak as domineeringly as before.

These three were naturally the man from before and the two women in white and red.

The woman in red was extremely arrogant. She shouted, "Don't ask who we are. I only want to know whether that Soul Bone was a jade-white Right Leg Soul Bone with cloud-like patterns on it."

Seeing the barely restrained killing intent around the three of them.

Old Liu's eyes flickered.

It seemed the victims had come to their door. He casually glanced at Wu Xue, Wu Zheng, and Wu Chao.

He cursed inwardly, You didn't even wipe your asses clean, and you still want me to compensate you? Go die! Once you're dead, I won't need to compensate you. Hehe!

So he nodded and put on a surprised expression. "That's right. You are...?"

"Ah, my Xiao Hai!"

The woman in red let out a mournful cry. Then she no longer concealed her killing intent, pointing at Wu Xue, Wu Zheng, and Wu Chao. "You three are so vicious! My Hai'er was only eight years old, and you could still bring yourselves to do it? Today, I will make you pay with your lives!"

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Wu Xue, Wu Zheng, and Wu Chao's expressions changed drastically. They shot Old Liu vicious glares.

All three were shrewd people. How could they fail to understand Old Liu's intentions?

But now was not the time to deal with him.

Their true enemies were the three people before them.

The woman in white and the man beside the woman in red also changed expression instantly.

They glared fiercely at Wu Xue, Wu Zheng, and Wu Chao.

Their martial souls and soul rings were released almost simultaneously.

Clearly, they would not rest until one side was dead.

But at that moment, an extremely ethereal voice rang out from nowhere.

It was a low male voice.

"Tut, tut. You poisonous woman, you still have the nerve to call others vicious? When you murdered someone and stole their bone, why weren't you the slightest bit softhearted?"

The woman in red's expression changed as she roared, "Who is it?"
