"Ten million upper grade crystal stones!"
"What? Are you messing with me?" The Young Master's expression twitched.
The Xia Family might be able to produce lower grade crystal stones, but they don't have many high-grade crystal stones, let alone upper grade crystal stones. And it was ten million.
The Young Master felt that Zhang Hao was messing with him.
In fact, Zhang Hao really wasn't messing with the other party. Little Black's origin was mysterious; selling it for ten million upper grade crystal stones was definitely not expensive. If he hadn't known, this Young Master definitely wouldn't be able to produce ten million upper grade crystal stones. Zhang Hao wouldn't have offered this price. Once, he tested Little Black's value in the System Shop. The System Shop actually gave an eight-figure price. You should know that the System Shop was always a rip-off; the price it gave was definitely very low. It could definitely double outside.
"If you can't afford it, don't just blurt things out. Poor bum!" Zhang Hao was too lazy to bother with these Young Masters.
"Damn it, where did this bumpkin come from? In Sifang City, no one has dared to mess with Xia Tianyun like this." The Young Master, Xia Tianyun, was enraged.
"Brother Yun, I want that little cat, it's too cute." The charming woman said coquettishly to Xia Tianyun.
Xia Tianyun dotingly said to the girl, "Cousin, don't worry, after the auction ends, Brother Yun will definitely help you get that pet."
"Thank you, Brother Yun!" Hearing this, the girl finally broke into a smile through her tears.
Xia Tianyun looked at the direction Zhang Hao and Ye Yun were walking, and said in confusion, "Are these two going to the Haitian Auction House?"
"Hmph, I'd like to see how they get into the Haitian Auction House; it's not a place just anyone can enter." Xia Tianyun was now ready to find an opportunity to mock him. Naturally, he wouldn't miss this chance.
Outside the Haitian Auction House
Zhang Hao and Xia Tianyun were indeed stopped.
A guard from the Haitian Merchant Association glanced at Zhang Hao and Ye Yun. Although their clothes weren't shabby, they didn't have any distinguishing features. Therefore, the guard frowned and said, "Unauthorized personnel, do not approach."
Zhang Hao frowned and said, "Isn't this an auction? Can't we go in?"
"It is the Haitian Auction House, but you must be a VIP of the Haitian Merchant Association to enter." The guard looked coldly at Zhang Hao and Ye Yun.
"VIP?" Zhang Hao was slightly taken aback for a moment.
"Hahaha... two lowlifes. The so-called VIPs need to have a VIP card to enter. It's a pity, neither of you has a VIP card."
The one speaking was precisely Xia Tianyun and his cousin. He took out a golden invitation and handed it to the guard.
The guard saw the golden invitation clearly, and saw the two characters for Xia Family written on it. Clearly, this Xia Tianyun was a member of the Xia Family, one of Sifang City's Four Great Families.
The guard was greatly moved and quickly said respectfully, "Young Master Xia, please come in quickly."
Xia Tianyun was smugly pleased and didn't leave immediately. Instead, he walked up to Zhang Hao, looked at him, and smiled faintly, "Kid, this isn't a place you can come to. Go back!"
"Hahaha, truly a frog at the bottom of a well." Zhang Hao shook his head.
"Kid, what do you mean? Who are you calling a frog at the bottom of a well?" Xia Tianyun was enraged.
"Whoever is a frog at the bottom of a well is who I'm talking about!"
Just as Xia Tianyun was about to explode in anger. Zhang Hao said again, "Today, not only will I enter, but I will also have the general manager of the Haitian Merchant Association in Sifang City personally welcome me in."
As soon as these words came out, not only Xia Tianyun but also the guard at the gate laughed scornfully. The manager of the Haitian Merchant Association might not even give Face to Sifang City's Four Great Families or even the City Lord. How could he possibly personally meet a mere young man?
"Is this person joking? What kind of status does the manager of the Haitian Merchant Association in Sifang City have? How could he personally welcome a young man?"
"Exactly, this kid has delusions."
"I think so too."
Xia Tianyun and the guards of the Haitian Merchant Association all burst into laughter, filled with endless ridicule.
Suddenly, the laughter of the Haitian Merchant Association's guards came to an abrupt halt. This was because they saw a palm-sized token in Zhang Hao's hand.
"Silver VIP Card?"
The guard was greatly startled. He quickly took the Silver VIP Card. He found that it was indeed real. Cold sweat immediately seeped from his forehead. Although this Silver VIP Card wasn't the highest level VIP card, not many people could obtain it. It was usually personally issued by important high-ranking members of the Haitian Merchant Association.
"Young Master, please wait a moment for me, this humble one... will go and invite the Elder immediately." The guard was extremely respectful, his attitude completely different.
"Go! If you're late, Young Master won't wait long." Zhang Hao said with a half-smile, his hands behind his back.
Because the guard knew he had offended the Young Master in front of him and was very unwelcome, he quickly turned around and went to find the Elder. He could only secretly pray that the VIP card in this Young Master's hand was fake. But clearly, this possibility was very small.
Ye Yun, who was beside him, also looked at Zhang Hao with some worry and said, "Zhang Hao, you're not serious, are you?"
Zhang Hao looked at Ye Yun and smiled faintly, "Do you think I look like I'm joking?"
Xia Tianyun also saw the guard's expression. He was secretly surprised: Could this kid really have some Heaven-Defying background?
"Hmph, looking at how shabbily he's dressed, it's absolutely impossible. That guard must have seen wrongly. It's simply hilarious; even my father couldn't get an Elder from Sifang City to personally come out, how could he?" Xia Tianyun thought to himself.
Before long, Old Qin, the manager of the Haitian Merchant Association in Sifang City, walked out quickly.
"Wow, it's Old Qin! It's my first time seeing him come out. Could it be that some important figure has arrived? Does Old Qin need to personally welcome them?" A Martial Warrior shouted.
"Probably. You know, Old Qin is a Martial King! There are definitely not many people in Sifang City who can make him personally welcome them."
"Where is Zhang Hao, Young Master?"
Because there were many people from various families present. Elder Qin Mufeng's gaze swept across the scene, but he didn't find his target immediately.
"Who is Zhang Hao, Young Master?"
The Martial Warriors present all felt a bit surprised. This name seemed somewhat unfamiliar.
"It's me!"
Zhang Hao stepped forward.
"So you are Zhang Hao, Young Master. This old man has been remiss in not welcoming you sooner! This old man is Qin Mufeng, the general manager of the Haitian Merchant Association in Sifang City. Let this old man lead the way for Young Master!" Qin Mufeng seemed very polite.
The people present were greatly astonished at this moment. Even Xia Tianyun's expression darkened.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible. He must have gotten the VIP card through luck, it must be like that." Xia Tianyun felt as if he had been fiercely slapped in the Face.
With the Silver VIP Card, Qin Mufeng personally arranged a top-tier VIP suite for Zhang Hao.
"Old Qin, how did you know my name?" As Old Qin was about to leave, Zhang Hao asked the question that greatly puzzled him.
"Hehe, Young Master, every Silver VIP Card issued by the Haitian Merchant Association has the user's information registered in detail, and the branch associations in various places also have records." Old Qin explained.
