"Stop! Please stop! Brother, calm down! I'm speaking!" Seeing Ferrid Chu decisively move towards violence, the assassin quickly pleaded, "We are from the Tiger Roar Manor. We were ordered to kidnap Juliet Song from the Song Auction House. We are using Juliet Song as leverage to get the Song Auction House to hand over the Dragonchant sword that is about to be auctioned!"
"Oh? Dragon's Roar?"
Ferrid Chu was greatly surprised. The Dragon's Roar was his father's sword. After his father was killed by a person in a red robe, the sword disappeared without a trace. He didn't expect that today, by chance, he would learn about the whereabouts of the Dragon's Roar.
The girl named Juliet Song saw that Ferrid Chu was not a bad person and had actually saved her. She didn't hide anything and explained, "The Dragon's Roar was entrusted to us for auction by a customer. I didn't expect that people from the Tiger Roar Manor would target it!"
On her way to the auction house, Juliet Song encountered these two assassins. If it weren't for the timely intervention of Ferrid Chu, her situation would have been unimaginable.
The Tiger Roar Manor was located in Maple City and was one of the five major martial forces, aside from the six major wealthy families. They had over a thousand disciples. It was rare for such a large force to resort to kidnapping to obtain auction items from the auction house.
"When is the Dragon's Roar going to be auctioned?" Ferrid Chu asked Juliet Song after squeezing the assassin's throat in his hand.
"In half an hour at the Song Auction House. I'll be the one hosting the auction!" Juliet Song looked at Ferrid Chu in surprise. His casual approach to killing was astonishing.
But considering her current situation, she said with a frustrated expression, "However, my car is also damaged. It's almost impossible for me to arrive at the auction house on time!"
"It's not impossible!" Ferrid Chu's gaze fell on the truck driven by the two Tiger Roar Manor assassins.
"Thank you for helping me. I didn't expect you to be able to drive a truck." Juliet Song sat in the passenger seat of the truck and carefully examined Ferrid Chu. He was handsome, tall, and decisive. However, in Juliet Song's memory, there was no such outstanding young man in Maple City.
But Ferrid Chu seemed vaguely familiar to her. It was as if a year ago, she had seen a news article in the newspaper about Ferrid Chu, the young master of the Chu family, who had supposedly jumped off a cliff in the deep mountains. The person in the news photo looked very much like the man in front of her.
Ignoring Juliet Song, Ferrid Chu stepped on the gas pedal, and the truck roared towards the city center!
The Song Auction House was the largest auction house in Maple City. Every day, various precious items were auctioned here.
Following Juliet Song's directions, Ferrid Chu raced to the Song Auction House.
Stopping at the entrance of the auction house, the security guard saw the truck with its front end already dented. He then looked at Ferrid Chu as he got out of the vehicle and scolded, "Who the hell told you to park here! Are you looking for trouble? Can't you see that all the cars around here are luxury cars? What are you doing here with your beaten-up truck, don't you have any sense?"
"Dare to scold my friend? You better not stay here. Pack up and get lost!" Juliet Song got off the truck and shouted angrily at the security guard!
"Ah, Miss Song, it's you!" Recognizing the girl in front of him, the security guard's face changed drastically. He regretted yelling at Ferrid Chu.
"Steward, immediately fire the security guard at the entrance!" Juliet Song called the housekeeper directly, then grabbed Ferrid Chu and headed into the auction house. She didn't know that Ferrid Chu's target was the Dragonchant sword; she just wanted to thank him later.
"I'm done for, I've been fired..." The security guard sat on the ground, completely dumbfounded.
"You're quite decisive in your actions!" Ferrid Chu looked at Juliet Song in surprise.
"I'll let you witness my auctioning skills later. You'll find out how amazing I am!" Juliet Song joked.
"As long as you don't regret bringing me to your auction house." Ferrid Chu said calmly.
"Hehe, what's there to be afraid of? What kind of waves can you make?" Juliet Song smiled. "I'm Juliet Song, what's your name?"
"Ferrid Chu."
"What? Are you the Ferrid Chu from the Chu family back then?"
Juliet Song was quite surprised. Finally, she matched the face in front of her to Ferrid Chu.
"But it was reported in the news last year that you jumped off a cliff?"
"Get ready for the auction. It's starting soon." Ferrid Chu didn't want to explain too much. He walked into the auction hall and found a place to sit.
Seeing Ferrid Chu's sudden change in demeanour, Juliet Song didn't ask any more questions and hurriedly went to the backstage to prepare for the auction.
Ferrid Chu scanned the room and was surprised to find that Finlay Zhao, the eldest son of the Zhao family, and Kean Wang, the eldest son of the Wang family, were also present.
According to Jim Chu, the steward, after the Chu family fell, both the Zhao and Wang families took possession of a considerable amount of Chu family assets. Finlay Zhao even tried to forcibly take Ava Xin. If it weren't for Jim Chu rescuing Ava Xin in time, it was hard to say whether Ava Xin would be alive or not now.
And the one who kidnapped Ava Xin at the time was Kean Wang!
Kean Wang wanted to please Finlay Zhao by offering Ava Xin!
Ferrid Chu knew a lot about this Kean Wang. He was a complete opportunist. When the Chu family was in power, Kean Wang stuck to Ferrid Chu like a sycophant, hoping to gain some benefits from him every day. But after the Chu family fell, Kean Wang was the first to grab Ava Xin and wanted to give her to Finlay Zhao!
Watching the backs of Finlay Zhao and Kean Wang, Ferrid Chu clenched his fists.
"Hello everyone, I am Juliet Song from the Song Auction House."
Juliet Song had already cleaned up the wound on her head and changed into professional attire. She wore a tight-fitting red blazer over a black bodysuit that accentuated her ample figure. She paired it with a red fitted skirt, black stockings, and red high heels, giving her a professional and sexy look.
"This little girl Juliet Song is getting more impressive as she grows up!" Finlay Zhao's eyes wandered freely over Juliet Song's beautiful legs.
"Master Zhao, how about one day I drug her and send her to you?" Kean Wang flattered.
Now, the Zhao family's power far surpassed the Wang family's, so Kean Wang could only flatter Finlay Zhao.
"Haha, to be honest, my father has already proposed a marriage alliance with the head of the Song family. The Song family has agreed. It won't be long before this little girl becomes mine!" Finlay Zhao sneered. "Now, let the auction begin. The first item up for auction is the Dragonchant sword. It is said that this sword comes from a fallen family in our Maple City. It's incredibly sharp and is a deep blood-red color. It is said to have been crafted by the top master blacksmith in the Nine Provinces. It has great collectible value!"
With that, a display attendant carefully brought up a tray with a blood-red sword on it.
Upon seeing the Dragonchant sword, Finlay Zhao and Kean Wang's eyes gleamed. Both of them were here today on their family's orders to secure this sword.
"The starting bid for this Dragonchant sword is thirty million!" Juliet Song announced loudly.
"I bid one hundred million for this sword!" Finlay Zhao stood up directly, determined to win. "I am Finlay Zhao from the Zhao family. This Dragon's Roar must belong to me today!"
"In an auction, the highest bidder wins. Just because you say it's yours, does that make it so?"
Someone voiced their disagreement.
"My brother is the head of the Patrol Bureau, Jett Zhao! And..."
Finlay Zhao pointed at Juliet Song on the stage. "This Juliet Song from the Song Auction House is my fiancée. Is my connection strong enough? Anyone who dares to compete with me is going against the Zhao family, the Patrol Bureau, and the Song Auction House!"
