Familiar face
"How… How dare you insult me? Where did you come from, you bastard? Do you want to die? Who do you think you are, coming to M Nation and acting all arrogant?"
Nobody here had ever seen such a madman either. Looking at Xi Ting, the entire floor was bewildered. The wealthy families present immediately broke into chatter.
However, Xi Ting was not willing to back down at all. Looking in that man's direction, he asked, "How is this considered an insult? I believe I have given you a high price based on my evaluation of you and on account that I don't want any trouble."
"Don't stop me. I will kill this man!" He exclaimed wildly as he stood there, "Hmph. Stinking lad soiling our M Nation! Don't you know who I am? Hmph, I'll show you. I'll see how you can still leave this place after provoking me!"
Because needless to say, those who could come here were wealthy people. However, as M Nation was not big, all the wealthy people were known. Those who were unfamiliar were obviously not from M Nation.
Xi Ting raised his chin proudly, "Alright. Not only do I want to leave this place, but I also want to take you with me so that I can help keep this place clean."
This obviously meant that he was trash.
That man huffed and called out, "Men! All of you, come in here! Ha, I have not worked out in a very long time and my men are already trained. Nobody has given me the chance to practice for over a year and a half. Is that what you're here for?"
After a while, people rushed in from the outside. A sea of black filled the arc-shaped auditorium. Everyone knew that this man was a famous gangster in M Nation who later took the lawful path. However, he still had many fighters under him. Although his path was not pure, he was now one of the wealthiest families in M Nation and he had very strong foundation.
It could be said that anyone here actually had good backgrounds. Those who were unworthy would have no chance of entering this place.
Although Xi Ting had a few bodyguards standing behind him, everyone could see that they were outnumbered.
That man immediately became arrogant as he looked at Xi Ting and scoffed coldly, "What are you looking at? If you're thinking of taking back what you said… Let me tell you that it's too late. I will show you the consequences of empty bragging."
Xi Ting's eyes swept over the group casually. Although they looked strong, these people…Tsk, tsk. Clearly, they lacked skills.
Xi Ting's gaze gradually fell on the man. His voice was light and airy without an ounce of warmth.
"I will say the same to you."
Then, with a subtle signal from his eyes, his men suddenly barged in from the outside. In an instant, those proud fighters who surrounded them were immediately ambushed and pushed to the middle.
In replacement were Xi Ting's men standing uniformly there. Each one of them stood as tall and straight as poles.
Xi Ting said, "I've never been kind towards people like you. How do you want to be sent out of here? I'll gladly fulfill your wish."
This overweening attitude instantly fired up the entire venue.
That man scoffed, "You… Ha, I don't believe you'd dare to do anything to me. So what if you have more men? If you have the guts to throw me out, I'll make sure you can't enter and leave M Nation in peace!"
Xi Ting laughed coldly. "Did you guys hear that?" He said to the bodyguards, "Just like I've said, whatever he says can be returned to him."
The bodyguards heard this and immediately walked towards that man.
At first, the man did not believe him. Now, he was starting to worry. However, he did not want to show weakness on his face. He only glanced outside as if considering if this man would really dare to do such a thing.
However, he did not know that Xi Ting had always been a man of his words. With just one look, the bodyguards swiftly walked forward.
The man was scared and stepped backward. He quickly turned to his men, "Come on, hurry up! What are you guys looking at?"
His men wanted to come forward but were completed blocked by Xi Ting's men. Even if they weren't, they also wouldn't have dared to move as there were too many people.
Especially all these men who did not look simple. They were much stronger.
The man saw this and broke out in cold sweat. He exclaimed, "You… Do you dare to do this to me? You can gloat now but believe it or not, you will suffer tomorrow. You…"
No matter what the man said, he was simply hoisted up and dragged out by Xi Ting's men.
The man exclaimed relentlessly until he was outside. Everyone looked out curiously. He was indeed tossed out onto the ground and beaten up.
Everyone tried to control their laughter. He had been arrogant for so many years in M Nation. He was like a tyrant, causing trouble everywhere. Now, he had been taught a lesson. However, everyone was still surprised and wondered who exactly was this man who dared to oppose him.
Someone said, "Hey, young man. That was a local snake. It is indeed troublesome now that you've really offended him."
Xi Ting did not look at the person and only replied plainly, "I, Xi Ting, am least afraid of trouble."
"Xi Ting?"
"He is Xi Ting?"
"When did Xi Ting come to M Nation? How did we not get any information about that?"
"Oh my God. He just came to M Nation and already dares to be so proud."
Those who knew about Xi Ting continued talking amongst themselves as they looked at him. The man who was often heard of but rarely seen was now right in front of them. He was so different from what they imagined.
Everyone was still in shock while Xi Ting already sat back down as he asked the host, "Alright, so is the item still ours?"
The host and the organizers were already completely stunned. Seeing Xi Ting's focused attention on them, they then remembered that they were still in the midst of the auction.
The host quickly said, "Yes yes yes." His eyes were filled with admiration for this man.
At first, he was rather neutral, but seeing how dominating Xi Ting was, he really couldn't help but admire him. It turned out that such people still existed on earth.
Xi Ting took the item and handed it to Qin Yan. He then took Qin Yan to the front to eat. Meanwhile, some passersby were talking about what just happened.
"That Xi Ting is really arrogant."
"But I heard that he is practically God in C Nation and nobody knows exactly how rich he is. He keeps a low profile and his abilities are shocking."
"Ah. No matter what, he was really domineering. And the girl beside him must have been his partner. She must be really pampered. Whatever she wants, he would bid and even fight with someone else for it. How lucky."

Xi Ting and Qin Yan were eating outside. Qin Yan wiped her mouth, "I'm going to the washroom."
"Okay, take someone with you," Xi Ting said.
Qin Yan's bodyguard followed behind. After she was done washing her hands, she felt a lady enter and stand beside her. Qin Yan absentmindedly flung water onto the lady's arm.
She quickly looked up. "I'm sorry…"
"Ah, it's okay. It's okay." The lady beside her smiled. She seemed harmonious and kind.
And her face…
Qin Yan looked at her and suddenly paused. This person looked familiar. Very familiar.
Feeling Qin Yan stare at her, the lady turned to her slightly. She beamed, showing smile lines on her face, "What's wrong?"
Qin Yan immediately snapped back to reality, "Oh, it's nothing. I just thought you looked really familiar. I wonder if I've seen you somewhere before."
The lady also looked at Qin Yan. Her eyes were almost closed as she smiled, "Really?" She took a closer look at Qin Yan and also seemed to find her familiar.
"Well, I think you look familiar too…" The lady stared at her and her eyes suddenly lit up. "But I don't know where I've seen you before. What's your name?"
"Ah… I'm Qin Yan," Qin Yan said. "You?"
"Me? My name is Fang Zichen," she replied.
Qin Yan never heard of this name. She thought for a while. She was sure that she had seen her somewhere before, but she simply could not remember.0
The lady also shook her head. "I've never heard your name. Which wealthy M Nation family are you from?"
She was not some rich family's daughter. Qin Yan laughed bitterly and shook her head. "I'm not. I'm from C Nation."
