“That item is mine! I’m buying it for seven hundred and fifty million right now!”


    “ording to the auction hall’s rules, the highest bidder always wins.”


    “Even if you’re confirming the bid, you need to call three times before mming the gavel!”


    “But you locked in on the lower bid without giving the others any chance to bid?”


    “What’s the meaning of this?!”


    “Are you conspiring with The Empire of the Sun that Never Sets to sell them something that belongs to


    the people of Country H?!”


    “You people should know what this item represents!”


    “This belonged to the Head Coach!”


    “You’re already disrespecting him enough to auction something like this…”


    “But now, you’re even deciding who gets to buy it?! Are you insulting the Head Coach?!”


    “How dare you, you brat?!” The middle-aged priestess screeched back, livid.


    “Do you know the consequences of smearing the Five Virtues Temple?!”


    Young priestesses of the Five Virtues Temple appeared from all directions, all shooting Harvey cold


    res.


    If Harvey were to spout any more nder, they would take action with haste.

    “Smearing you, you say?” Harvey scoffed, repulsed.


    “Do you honestly think others would go through the trouble when you’re already doing that on


    your own?”


    “Give me a good exnation, then. If it’s good enough, I’ll turn around and leave right this instant!”


    “Of course… I am not the only one who has to be satisfied with your exnation. The same goes to all


    the participants here! Am I right, everyone?!”


    Harvey tried to use the crowd in his favor.


    But since the Five Virtues Temple was involved in the situation, nobody dared voice their support.


    Harvey’s name had be quite well-known at this point. Everyone knew of his achievements during


    his stay in Hong Kong and Las Vega. They were sure he wasn’t just an ordinary man.

    Yet… Despite his status and identity, there was no way he could even be close to challenging the


    Five Virtues Temple.


    He didn’t have the right to do this.


    Murphy and Sharonughed derisively at Harvey’ s bold words.


    ‘Has this man lost it?’


    ‘He’s demanding an exnation from the Five Virtues Temple?’


    The Five Virtues Temple would always do as their hearts desired. Everyone could only abide by their


    rules, and the temple had never needed to exin anything to anyone.


    “Forget it, Sir York! We can’t go against them!”


    Leslie was getting anxious. She was worried that Harvey would try to challenge someone way out of his


    league.


    “We have no need to exin anything to anyone.”


    The distant voice could be heard once again.


    “But seeing as you’re Mordu’s Longmen branch leader and the prince of South Light, I’ll make it an


    exception!”


    Teal’s cold tone lost itsposed quality and was brimming with anger.


    “Number one, you didn’te here to buy anything from the auction. You’re here to cause Murphy and


    Sharon trouble!”


    “You bought absolutely nothing since the beginning, and you got Leslie rke to speak for you only after


    Sharon made sure that the item belonged to the Head Coach.”


    “Only after Leslie’s rights were revoked did you start bidding!”


    “As a man, you wouldn’t even dare do it yourself when you’re scheming others. Yet, you’re fine


    with standing behind a woman!”


    “As one of the Yorks, you lot really are just as the rumors say: a family filled with kept men!”


    “I don’t like you, nor do I want to see you seed with your pathetic tricks!”


    “We’ll sell our items to whoever we want, regardless of the price!”


    “I won’t allow a kept man like you to buy anything here!”


    “Now, are you satisfied with my exnation?!”
