Chapter 124 - Chaos In The Auction Home

Instantly, everyone's body tensed in high alert the more they stared at their Grandmaster. 

But Dorian, on the other hand, was focused on finding that thing.

Where? Where was its shadow?

"Grandmaster. What do you need us to do?"

"Follow." 

With that, the gang all stood calmly, leaving the booth, making many confused. 

Of course, Dorian's actions looked as though he was only bored, thinking of taking a breather. 

No one knew the impending dangers around them or even the fact that something otherworldly was standing right beside them as a mere guard.

Many looked at Dorian's leaving silhouette through the glass booth with a sneer on their faces.

"Hmph! I say the bastard is trying to flee."

"~Pfff!... I know, right? Maybe he can't pay the money and has decided to run before it's too late. Hey! I heard that the Auction Home's way of handling people like this is too brutal. So it's understandable that he would try to run."

"That's for sure. But how can he escape their grasps? There's no way that he can flee the scene."

"Yeah. And have you forgotten that he just made the entire Ghu family his enemy? He's dead! The boy is definitely a walking corpse!"

"Tch! Serves him right for trying to enter our society. That is, how can a pauper still jump around like a clown?" 

Hmph! 

.

Many stared at the scene in disdain, already lecturing how Dorian's future would be like. 

That is if he were truly heading out for just a breather, or even heading for the bathrooms, then why take all his guards with him? 

The bathrooms for those in those glass booths were different from theirs. Those were private, exclusive, with guards stationed everywhere. The bathrooms for these super V.I.P's were just too spectacular and had a different path one would take to get to them.

So one doesn't need to take all their guards when going out. But yet, Dorian had done so.

Then again, the pauper only had 3 guards with him, which in a sense was also the number of guards they typically took when going out for breakers too.

Make no mistake. They were all wealthy and had enemies out to kill them: blood-related and work-related. 

What if someone puts their names on the Kill List, paying assassins to take them out?

It could be that little bathroom trip that ended up being their last. And that's why security was a must.

Even Tsih Kon who was the 2nd in line to being the heir in his family had taken at least 5 of his family guards to use the bathroom. 

So if one looked at it from a different angle, it seemed reasonable for Dorian to take all his guards... Especially after pissing off the entire Ghu household.

Maybe they would protect him from getting him beaten up badly.

.

The reason why everyone was more inclined to believe that he was fleeing was because of his current status, as well as the fact that his booth now looked empty with not a single soul inside. So it just highlighted matters even more.

But to the Ghus and Gias, the moment they saw Dorian and his team step out, half of those in their booths also stepped out. 

And this move alone made everyone watching this open their eyes in shock.

F***!

They wouldn't really be thinking about beating the arrogant Dorian black and blue, right?

This... This... This...

Lying trough! What sort of mafia settings was this?

Chen Hou stared at the scene deeply: "I'll go out to take a look."

"Then count this old man in." Old Hou added.

"I'll be going with you all as well. You 4, come with us. Father, mother, sister-in-laws... The rest of you stay put and wait for our return." Jung Hou said while joining his grandfather and brother out. 

The Gias have been too suspicious today.

What were they hiding? What was their big secret? Could it have something to do with the Tian boy? 

Everyone's heart summed chaotically.

And like so, Old Hou, Chen, Jung Gou and 4 of their most trusted guards followed behind them diligently. 

But do you think they were the only ones like this? No way!

The Bhos, the Tians and the Sus did the same as well, but their case was different in that they only sent their guards to check things out.

Again, knowing how strict the Gias were, they didn't want to poke their heads into something that would come back to bite them in the butt.

The Ghus and the Hous were closer to the Gias compared to the Bhos, Sus and the new Tians.

So they dared not do anything that would put a strain on their existing relationship.

Being too nosy could one day turn them into an enemy.

So they could only send their kids out to inquire or pass by the scene and find out what exactly was going on.

Of course, if the Gias turned them back, then they would only have to find out things on a water date.

Knowing when to advance and retreat was what saved their families for so long.

And that's why they stayed still amidst the underlying chaos that was quickly sipping into their bones.

Are they curious? 100% curious! Some of them were so curious that they had long started tapping their feet while analyzing and doing all sorts of calculations in their minds. 

The Bhos didn't know that the Ghus and the Gias were friendly with Dorian. So they could only imagine Dorian's ending.

Of course, it could also only be a coincidence that the Gias and Ghus went out simultaneously.

But really, that probability was low. So they could assume that the real reason was Dorian. But judging from the fact that everyone had seen this scene, the Bhos knew that nothing would happen to Dorian.

If one wanted to take out an enemy, one would do so in silence and in the most un-incriminating way ever. 

The Gias were a respectable military force. So how would it look like if they were to kill a civilian? No... Maybe the Gias were going out to stop the Ghus from putting their rage on Dorian.

But then again, would the Ghus be so stupid to make such a move out in the open?

Ahhhhhhhhhhh~~

What sort of confusing script was this?
