The Unorthodox Tomb Raider

The cloaked old man happened to have some time left today, and upon seeing this young man, he suddenly felt a mischievous urge to play.

"Kid, do you know who you're talking to?"

"Of course I'm talking to you. Is there anyone else here?" Fang Yun's face showed a strange expression.

At this moment, people were already frantically gesturing to Fang Yun with their eyes. They naturally knew that this Fang Yun was probably just a hothead who had suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Now was clearly not the time for him to stand out, but he insisted on doing so, which would only harm everyone in the end.

"I'm sorry, sir, I don't know where this young man came from. Please continue with your things, I'll take them away immediately."

At this moment, one of Huo's butlers rushed over with a smile on his face, grabbed Fang Yun's sleeve, and tried to pull him away.

Before arriving, he was absolutely certain that he had never seen Fang Yun's face before, and he was also certain that he had not sent an invitation to this person. Therefore, he showed absolutely no mercy when he attacked.

When Fang Yun seemed unwilling to go with him, he waved to the security guards nearby, signaling them to come over.

The cloaked old man sneered, observing the steward's actions without saying a word. After all, if he were to personally intervene, it would make his status seem less dignified. Since they were handling the matter, he didn't need to get involved himself.

Fang Yun remained standing there motionless, then said to Huo Tianying, who was standing in front of him, "Boss Huo, don't you want your jade pendant? Or are you just going to watch someone else take it away?"

Upon hearing Fang Yun's words, Boss Huo, who was still feeling dejected, had a slight change in expression. However, he quickly withdrew that expression and instead revealed a hint of annoyance.

What this kid said is obvious to everyone, but what good is it even if he says it? Can he possibly resist?

Moreover, if you insist on going against the other party at this time, you will only risk your life and fortune, and you will only lose more. Isn't this kid just stirring up emotions here?

This forced me to explain to the old man that I had absolutely no such intentions.

“Mr. Huo, I know what you’re thinking. But this is the only chance I’m giving you. If you can agree to one condition, I can help you keep this jade pendant.”

"And I can tell you clearly that my condition is actually very simple, and it doesn't even require much cost to achieve. However, you can keep this jade pendant that you consider priceless. You can think about the pros and cons of this."

Upon hearing Fang Yun's words, Huo Tianying, who was standing over there, also sharpened his gaze.

Fang Yun spoke with apparent confidence, and seemed completely unafraid of the cloaked old man. Could he really be a young master from some powerful family who had come here?

If that's really the case, then perhaps I could actually agree to his condition. After all, I went through a lot of hardship to obtain this jade pendant. Regardless of its value, it represents a great deal of my effort. If it were to be taken away for no reason, I probably wouldn't be able to sleep well for months.

But can Fang Yun's words be trusted? After all, even if Fang Yun is a young master from a powerful family, his knowledge is still very limited. If even his powerful family can't deal with this old man, wouldn't he have just made a few more enemies for no reason?

Huo Tianying was conflicted and couldn't make up his mind for a long time.

Seeing Mr. Huo's attitude, the old man opposite him sneered repeatedly, saying, "It seems Mr. Huo still harbors a sliver of hope? Today, it's my fault for not being intimidating enough."

At this point, the old man suddenly stomped his foot, and the light in the entire room dimmed, as if the sun in the sky had been suddenly obscured by dark clouds.

But everyone knew that outside the sky was clear and the temperature was even quite high. However, after the old man became angry, everyone could clearly feel that the temperature inside the entire hall had dropped.

Chapter 642 Revealing Identity

"Damn it, Mr. Huo, is there anything else to think about? This kid is just talking nonsense, how could you be so foolish as to believe him?"

Before Boss Huo could even speak, some of the wealthy people nearby jumped up and started pointing their fingers at Fang Yun and cursing.

"That's right, Mr. Huo, how can you be so foolish? This kid doesn't seem trustworthy at all; he's just spouting nonsense. Doesn't he understand? Don't you understand either?"

These so-called social elites were all afraid of getting into trouble and just wanted to leave this awful place as soon as possible. As for the jade pendant, it wasn't theirs to begin with, so they weren't bothered by it being taken away.

As for now, their biggest wish is naturally to get through this matter smoothly as soon as possible. Anyone who dares to interfere is considered to be going against them.

Huo Tianying naturally knew what these people were thinking, and at the moment he just had a gloomy face and didn't say much.

Upon seeing the old man's sinister expression, Huo Tianying was startled and immediately waved his hands, signaling the security guards to kick Fang Yun out.

"Guards, throw this brat out of here! Don't let him come back in."

Boss Huo pointed at Fang Yun, and the security guards immediately surrounded him.

Seeing what Boss Huo was doing, the old man on the other side also chuckled darkly: "That's the right thing to do. Otherwise, I'd have to go to great lengths, and what good would that do you?"

Just then, several burly security guards reached out one by one, trying to grab Fang Yun's arm and pull him away.

Fang Yun said expressionlessly, "I was originally going to do you a favor, but since you don't want it, then I don't want to either. I won't get involved in your affairs anymore; now it's my business with them."

At this moment, Fang Yun suddenly made a move, throwing several punches that landed on the wrists of the security guards.

Before the security guards could react, Fang Yun swept his leg, sending them sprawling to the ground.

Only then did these security personnel realize that Fang Yun wasn't so easy to bully; he actually had some skills. They no longer dared to underestimate him, hurriedly got up from the ground, and then, with great effort, tried to grab Fang Yun.

But Fang Yun was not so easily manipulated. Without saying a word, he flashed behind the group and delivered a punch and a kick to their backs and ankles.

Several security personnel who had just managed to get up from the ground were kicked down again.

This left the surrounding tycoons speechless with shock. They hadn't expected Fang Yun to actually have such skills; no wonder he dared to challenge that old man earlier.

Huo Tianying stood opposite him, his eyes also flickering with uncertainty.

He thought to himself, "Could it be that this kid's confidence is based on my martial arts skills?"

However, although his security personnel were all former special forces members and each of them was highly skilled, the fact that Fang Yun was able to take them down so easily truly demonstrated Fang Yun's ability and skill level.

However, the cloaked man opposite him wasn't just skilled in hand-to-hand combat; he used magical feng shui techniques. These kinds of spells can't be countered with just a few punches and kicks.

If one could resist magic with mere physical skill, then one wouldn't have to suffer such humiliation.

"Sir, why are you making such a fuss? I have already rejected your offer, and you have nothing to do with this place. Just leave. Why make such a scene?"

Mr. Huo sighed softly, feeling utterly confused. What was supposed to be a perfectly good auction had unexpectedly turned into this mess.

“As I said, I originally had a deal I wanted to make with you, but since you're not going to do it now, I'm not going to bother with you anymore. My target isn't you, it's them.”

......... ... 0

As Fang Yun said this, his gaze turned towards the group of men.

When the group of men saw Fang Yun's gaze, they all exchanged glances, and then unanimously revealed a fierce look.

As assassins from out of town, they naturally couldn't show their faces, which is why they disguised themselves to infiltrate the area. However, this doesn't mean they can be provoked at will.

Moreover, in such a closed environment today, even if Fang Yun were killed on the spot and buried, no one would know, and the bosses present would certainly not tell anyone.

"Well, you've come here for me. I'd like to hear why you've come for me."

The old man in the cloak sneered repeatedly.

He hadn't heard anyone dare to speak to him like that for many years. He looked at Fang Yun with a half-smile, as if he could already see Fang Yun being tortured to the point of mental breakdown.

"You lot don't need to put on airs; I already know who you are." (Factory)

Chapter 643 Master of the Dead Tree

"Oh? You know who we are? Tell me then."

The old man had originally intended to teach Fang Yun a lesson in the midst of their banter, but when Fang Yun suddenly uttered those words, he froze in place. He then looked up and asked Fang Yun in a cold voice, enunciating each word clearly.

As for the men who came with the old man, they all looked at Fang Yun with great vigilance.

Some of them clenched their fists, revealing a gleaming dagger from their sleeves.

It is foreseeable that if Fang Yun says something wrong, he may face utter destruction.

　"930" "Do I need to spell it out? You're not locals from Guangling, are you? You've come all the way from the far south. You've only come here to do some shady business."

Upon hearing Fang Yun's words, these people immediately surrounded him.

"What's wrong? Getting angry so quickly? Showing your true colors. If you're so cowardly, then don't openly steal other people's things here." Fang Yun just sneered and didn't say anything more.

"who are you?"

The leader, Master Kumu, also realized something was wrong.

Unexpectedly, they were all disguised this time, and they had hardly contacted anyone along the way, yet they were found and their location was openly pointed out.

This made Master Kumu feel uneasy. Could it be that someone had leaked their whereabouts or that someone was watching them from the shadows?

However, regardless of what I felt confident and secure just now, I suddenly wavered a little. Maybe I really shouldn't have been so flamboyant today.

This city is not like the place they came from. It is a melting pot of all sorts of people, and many different forces are lurking in the shadows. Who knows how many of them are plotting against their own people?

He wouldn't have brought people to this place so risky if he hadn't heard that there was something at today's auction that might be helpful to his legal case.

Now that they've been recognized, everyone present has to pay the price.

At the same time, Master Kumu muttered incantations, and the temperature in the already chilly hall dropped several degrees, as if one had been locked in an ice cellar.

If they were to act directly, there would be no need for such a complicated process. Letting these assassins take action directly would leave these wealthy and influential people with no room for resistance.

However, this would leave a handle and trace, so after much deliberation, Master Kumu decided to use a method that left no trace.

"I was planning to leave as soon as I got this today. If you have to blame someone, blame this kid."

At this moment, the chilling words came from Master Kumu's mouth, and the onlookers understood what was going on.

These people were all shrewd individuals who had been navigating the social scene for many years. They knew exactly what Master Kumu was thinking. Most likely, this kid had revealed some shameful secret, so he was now trying to silence him.

"No, Master, this won't do you any good. If you do something to us here, it will definitely get out, and it will be big news in this city."

“Yes, once that news gets out, you won't get away with anything here. All eyes and attention will be on you…”

"Besides, killing us won't do you any good. If you don't kill us, we can even contribute some funds to you. Master, you should think it over more."

The crowd practically begged for mercy from the withered wood master, while a hint of hatred flickered in their eyes as they looked at Fang Yun.

If Fang Yun hadn't been causing trouble here today, why would they be begging for mercy like this?
