Douluo: Subversion Begins with the Arrival of the Traveler

Chapter 20 Account
"Who... who is this person? How scary!"

"Fuck, did you see it clearly? What kind of soul skill is this?"

"How could a dignified Soul Sage be killed instantly by a single sword strike? Could he be the legendary Sword Douluo?"

"You're talking nonsense! Sword Douluo is a teenager?"

"Wait! Can a young boy kill a Soul Sage in seconds?"

"No, he didn't even show his spirit ring..."

"I don't know where this young man appeared from, but that humanoid flying object seemed to have flown out from Private Room No. 2 upstairs..."

"..."

Instead of being afraid, the people in the field began to argue endlessly.

They were all discussing who the young man who suddenly appeared was, why he was able to kill the Soul Saint in seconds without any soul power fluctuations, etc.

Some people even started betting on whether the auction house or the crashers would win the dispute.

Someone caused a scene at an auction house? What a bizarre thing!

Isn’t this more exciting than the slave arena?

The nobles who were already interested in watching the fun began to place their bets.

跶~跶.

At this time, three more people came out from the corner of the auction hall. The middle-aged man in the lead had a big belly and his face was so greasy that it was almost shining.

Behind him were two spirit masters who had activated their martial spirits. One held a spear, exuding an imposing presence. It looked like he had awakened a weapon spirit. The other had a green light clinging to his hand, making it difficult to distinguish.

However, judging from the seven soul rings surrounding the two of them, they are both Soul Sages at least level 70 or above.

"Dear guest, I am the head of the auction house. I wonder how our auction house has offended you to the point of you resorting to such violence?"

The middle-aged man walked to the auction table under the protection of two Soul Saints, bowed slightly, and asked.

Then he stared at the sky with sharp eyes, and it was unknown what he was thinking.

"You captured Coco and used her as an item to trade. You are all bad guys!"

Paimon flew over to Sora's side, pointing her little finger at the person who was speaking, and even though the two men behind him looked very menacing, she wasn't afraid at all as the Traveler was around.

"...This girl wasn't captured by our auction house. Someone commissioned us to auction her off. We're just making a small profit."

Although the middle-aged man didn't know who the Koko that Paimon was talking about, he knew with his heels that this young man and this strange flying object came for the fox girl on the stage.

And in his words, he cleverly removed the auction house from the matter.

If it was an ordinary person, he wouldn't have to explain and could just send people to suppress him.

How much could those ordinary troublemakers achieve? The power that could open an auction house was not something that just any random person could mess with.

But now, this mysterious young man drew his sword and killed someone without saying a word, and the person he killed was the Soul Saint guest worshipped by their auction house.

The Soul Saint couldn't even block a single sword strike from this person, which forced him to speak politely.

After all, apart from its complicated background, the auction house's biggest reliance is its highest apparent combat power, which is only at the Soul Saint level.

"Huh! Then do you know that Keke was captured by force?"

Paimon's face fell and he continued to question.

"Well... generally speaking, we have no right to inquire about the origin of the goods that customers consign here."

The middle-aged man saw that although Paimon was small, his words were extremely sharp, and every word hit the most sensitive spot.

"What if your relatives were abducted and brought here without your knowledge? Would you just pretend nothing happened?"

"This..." "Hehe~ Still trying to argue? You guys are just condoning this kind of thing!"

"..."

Seeing that Paimeng was still aggressive, the middle-aged man couldn't find any excuse to prevaricate for a moment.

Although the Tiandou Empire openly prohibits this kind of gray transaction, those are rules tailored for ordinary people.

For the powerful nobles, they are the makers of the rules and are above the rules.

Things like today's have happened more than once or twice.

Anyone who can be auctioned at the auction house, no matter through what channel, will eventually be labeled as a refugee and then forced to sign a slave contract.

In this way, even from a legal perspective, it does not constitute a crime.

This is just what is on the surface. What happens behind the scenes is even more cruel and bloody.

For everyone present, all of this was nothing more than unspoken consent. What other reasons were needed?
Their auction house even sent the auction invitation to the palace. Could it be that it was not clearly stated there?
The truth is that even Emperor Xue Ye turned a blind eye to such things.

"Let's end today's matter here. You can take the person away, and we won't pursue the matter of causing a disturbance at the auction house. How do you think?"

The man was silent for a moment, his eyes drifting towards the second floor from time to time. Seeing that there was no movement, he seemed to have thought of a compromise and spoke with a fist clasped.

"We must definitely take the person away, but we need an explanation."

Kong turned his head to look at Yu Keke, shook his head and said lightly.

Want to keep things quiet? That's too simplistic.

"What do you need to explain, Your Excellency?"

Seeing that Kong did not agree, the middle-aged man unconsciously retreated to the side of the two Soul Saints beside him, as if only in this way could he feel a little safe.

"First, hand over the murderer who kidnapped her." Kong pointed at Yu Keke behind him.

"I'm sorry, we can't agree to your request." The middle-aged man shook his head and continued:
"Our auction house has promised that we will never disclose any information about any buyer or seller. Honesty is the key to doing business. Please don't make things difficult for us..."

"An auction house that condones these dirty deals still values integrity? Haha~"

Kong looked at the man with a sharp gaze. A strong wind surrounded him, and his robes were rustling.

"So what are you relying on? The two Soul Saints behind you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Kong stretched out his hand and waved it, and an invisible and intangible cyclone rushed straight towards the two Soul Saints.

The man only felt the sound of wind whistling past his ears, and then he heard miserable wails coming from behind him.

"Can you understand what I'm saying now?"

Sora spoke calmly, as if what had just happened had nothing to do with him.

The middle-aged man couldn't help but take a few steps back, beads of sweat dripping down his face.

"Hmph! Hand them over quickly, or you'll be the next one to be beaten!"

Paimon crossed his arms and threatened the man fiercely.

"Okay, okay..."

The middle-aged man hurriedly called a maid forward and gave her some instructions, and the maid left in a hurry.

"Sir, I have already sent people to apprehend Boss Zhou and the others who are staying backstage. They will be brought to you immediately. They are the ones who sent this fox girl to the auction this time."

The situation was stronger than the man. After the two Soul Saints on his left and right were inexplicably killed in seconds, the man no longer remembered the integrity of doing business.
