The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 200: Chapter 200: The Thickness of the Face Breaks Through the Sky Chapter 200: Chapter 200: The Thickness of the Face Breaks Through the Sky In Zhong Chongyao’s mind, Qin Yu had always been a steady character.

He believed that even if Qin Yu was close to Jing Yan, he shouldn’t use his power for personal gain at such a critical moment, allowing his competitor Wang Yan to catch him in a breach.

At this moment, even as the Building Owner, he couldn’t blatantly favor Qin Yu.

If Qin Yu was smart, he would take the initiative to admit his mistake and resign from the position of Deputy Building Owner.

That would be good for everyone.

Zhong Chongyao looked at Qin Yu.

“Lord Building Owner, I indeed have something to say!” Qin Yu said, with a smile on his face.

“Wang Yan, the supervisor, is defaming me!” Qin Yu’s deep voice slowly stated.

“Hm?” Zhong Chongyao’s originally expressionless face furrowed his brows.

Could it be that at this moment, Qin Yu still wanted to create trouble without reason?

If that were the case, then Qin Yu was not even taking him, the Building Owner, seriously.

Could it be that Qin Yu thought, since the City Lord had an extraordinary relationship with Jing Yan, now that Qin Yu was close to Jing Yan, he could disrespect him, the Building Owner?

In an instant, the disappointment in Zhong Chongyao’s heart turned to dissatisfaction.

And Wang Yan was overjoyed in her heart.

However, her face showed an angry expression.

“Defaming?”

“Deputy Building Owner Qin Yu, go on, how did I defame you?

Everyone knows you had a good relationship with Jing Tian, the old Clan Leader of the Jing Family.

Jing Tian passed away, and now you’ve befriended Jing Yan.

Haha, you weren’t that close to Jing Yan before, are you close now because you think Jing Yan has climbed up to the City Lord and therefore has value to be used?

So, you completely disregard the rules of the First Floor and took Jing Yan into the Treasure Vault to let him select those rare resources meant for auction?” Wang Yan was extremely confident.

She was certain that Qin Yu had broken the rules.

Bringing Jing Yan into the restricted area of the Treasure Vault was a violation.

Even if Jing Yan hadn’t acquired valuable resources at a low price, Qin Yu couldn’t change the fact that he brought Jing Yan, an outsider, into the First Floor’s Treasure Vault.

“Supervisor Wang Yan, if you continue to spew nonsense, don’t blame me for turning against you!” Qin Yu also angrily looked at Wang Yan.

“Lord Building Owner, I did indeed take Jing Yan into the Treasure Vault.

However, I did not violate any rules of the First Floor.

It is clearly stated in our rules that we can deal directly in the Treasure Vault for transactions with big clients,” Qin Yu said sternly.

“Big client?”

“Hahaha…” Wang Yan let out a harsh laughter, her body moving back and forth.

“Deputy Building Owner Qin Yu, are you saying that Jing Yan is a big client of our First Floor?” Wang Yan gave him a look as if he were an idiot.

According to the rules of the First Floor, only transactions reaching a hundred thousand Spirit Stones were considered from big clients.

Did Jing Yan have a hundred thousand Spirit Stones in cash to buy resources?

Jing Yan was only seventeen years old and although he could match a Late Innate Realm Martial Artist, his actual realm was just at the Early Innate Stage.

Could a teenager in the Early Innate Realm come up with a hundred thousand Spirit Stones in cash?

Even when Jing Yan’s grandfather, Jing Tian, was alive, could that have been possible?

Did Qin Yu think everyone else was a fool?

The more forceful Qin Yu was, the more joyful Wang Yan got because she saw that the Building Owner’s face was becoming more and more displeased.

Perhaps, she could use this chance to displace Qin Yu from his position as a supervisor.

This Qin Yu was simply courting death!

“Yes, Jing Yan is a big client!” Qin Yu said with conviction.

“Deputy Building Owner Qin Yu, you’re not saying that Jing Yan had a hundred thousand Spirit Stones in cash and used them all to purchase resources, are you?” Wang Yan scoffed.

“Supervisor Wang Yan, what exactly do you want?” At this moment, Jing Yan spoke up, “Lord Building Owner, is this how the First Floor treats big clients?

Can a manager of the First Floor defame a big client like this?”

After questioning Wang Yan, Jing Yan then turned his gaze towards Zhong Chongyao.

“Jing Yan, others may fear you, but I, Wang Yan, do not fear you!

To say that you have a hundred thousand Spirit Stones in cash to purchase resources, only a fool would believe that.

I certainly don’t!” Wang Yan, seeing Jing Yan aggressively questioning her, her face turned ashen.

“Young Master Jing Yan, could it be that on this occasion at the First Floor, you traded resources worth a hundred thousand Spirit Stones?” Lord Building Owner Zhong Chongyao, his gaze sharpening, asked Jing Yan.

“Lord Building Owner, this time at the First Floor, the amount of resources Jing Yan traded was not a hundred thousand Spirit Stones, but over three hundred thousand Spirit Stones.

Supervisor Wang Yan, not only defamed me but also showed extreme disrespect towards a big client.

I also feel that she is unsuitable to serve as the manager of the First Floor.

It’s one thing to defame me, but to mock a big client is truly heartbreaking!

If she isn’t dealt with, it will surely dishearten the big clients!” Qin Yu said sternly.

“Three hundred thousand?” Hearing this number, even Zhong Chongyao was slightly taken aback.

A transaction of a hundred thousand Spirit Stones qualified as a big client of the First Floor.

Yet, Qin Yu spoke of a transaction exceeding three hundred thousand Spirit Stones.

Even the Zhao Family didn’t make such large purchases each time, did they?

Zhong Chongyao was somewhat incredulous.

But, given his understanding of Qin Yu, Qin Yu wouldn’t lie about such a matter, right?

Besides, this matter was easy to verify—if Qin Yu were lying, it would soon be exposed!

Could it be that Qin Yu truly believed that with Jing Yan’s support, his position was unassailable?

“A 300,000 Spirit Stone transaction?

Qin Yu, are you dreaming?

You’ve got quite the nerve, speaking so boldly even in front of Lord Building Owner?” Wang Yan simply did not believe Qin Yu’s words.

“What I’m saying is the truth!” Qin Yu frowned as he spoke.

“Your truth?

Whatever you say is true, is the truth?

Do you think you’re the Building Owner of the First Floor?

Do you even see Lord Building Owner in your eyes anymore?

I never realized before that you too were a shameless liar!” Wang Yan said maliciously, continuing to add fuel to the fire for Lord Building Owner Zhong Chongyao.

She knew, the angrier Zhong Chongyao was, the worse Qin Yu’s outcome would be.

Her insinuation was clear, Qin Yu simply no longer regarded the Building Owner, a fact she believed Lord Building Owner Zhong Chongyao could not tolerate!

“I can testify that what Manager Qin Yu said is true!”

At that moment, another voice rang out.

Following that, warehouse manager Tang Jun entered the room.

“Lord Building Owner, I can testify that the amount of resources traded by Young Master Jing Yan in the Treasure Vault indeed exceeded 300,000 Spirit Stones.

The resources sold by Young Master Jing Yan amounted to 183,500 Spirit Stones, and those he purchased amounted to 133,500 Spirit Stones.

In total, that comes to 317,000 Spirit Stones,” Tang Jun said.

“I’ve also brought the ledger; it’s all been recorded,” Tang Jun added, a ledger appearing in his hand!

As soon as Tang Jun appeared and spoke these words, Wang Yan was dumbfounded.

She could disbelieve Qin Yu, but she could not doubt Tang Jun’s words.

Tang Jun was famously impartial and uncorrupted.

Within the First Floor, he never grew close to anyone.

Wanting him to cover up for someone was simply impossible, no matter the price paid.

Moreover, Tang Jun was absolutely trusted by the Building Owner.

It was impossible for Tang Jun to deceive Lord Building Owner Zhong Chongyao.

With these thoughts swirling, cold sweat broke out on Wang Yan’s forehead.

She vaguely felt that something was very wrong.

If Qin Yu hadn’t done anything against the rules, then her current accusation really becomes slander.

In front of the Building Owner, what would he think about slandering a manager?

Most critically, Lord Building Owner Zhong Chongyao and she, Wang Yan, were not particularly close.

“This…

this…”

“Lord Building Owner, Jing Yan must have purchased some auction-worthy rare resources through Qin Yu.

No matter how much the transaction was, Qin Yu certainly violated the rules.

He might even have sold resources worth tens or hundreds of thousands of Spirit Stones for just 100,000 Spirit Stones,” Wang Yan said hysterically.

This was her last chance to turn the tables.

“Lord Building Owner, Manager Qin Yu handled Young Master Jing Yan’s transactions without any violations.

The resources purchased by Young Master Jing Yan were almost exclusively low-level Spiritual Grass, none of which reached the level eligible for auction,” Tang Jun added.

Zhong Chongyao took the ledger and the transaction details into his hands to review.

After a moment, he understood everything.

“Manager Wang Yan, take a look for yourself!” Zhong Chongyao said, throwing the ledger and transaction details to Wang Yan.

Wang Yan caught them in a flurry.

As she gradually made sense of it, her demeanor completely deflated.

Clean, too clean!

Although the prices for the acquired and sold resources were the highest and most favorable, Manager Qin Yu truly hadn’t violated any rules.

It appeared Wang Yan was in trouble!

The position of Deputy Building Owner seemed to be slipping away from her.

What to do?

Wang Yan’s thoughts frantically spun.

She bit her lip, took a deep breath, and calmed herself down.

Then, she viciously turned her gaze back towards Qin Yu and Jing Yan.

“Lord Building Owner, I have something to say!” Wang Yan called out again.

“What else do you have to say?” Zhong Chongyao frowned at Wang Yan.

“I want to say that Qin Yu and Jing Yan’s behavior is utterly despicable!” Wang Yan said furiously, “The position of Deputy Building Owner for the First Floor is vacant, and a new deputy will soon be elected.

Both Qin Yu and I stand a great chance of becoming the Deputy Building Owner.

Worried he couldn’t beat me through normal means, Qin Yu resorted to these despicable tactics.

He conspired with Jing Yan to set a trap for me.

Who could imagine Jing Yan would have so many resources to sell?

When I found out Qin Yu took Jing Yan to the critical warehouse area, as a manager, I definitely had to report to you, Lord Building Owner!

I fell for Qin Yu’s trick; please see through it, Lord Building Owner!”

Wang Yan’s mouth was indeed formidable.

What was clearly her fault, she now managed to twist into a self-righteous counter-accusation.

Jing Yan was also somewhat stunned.

How thick could Wang Yan’s skin possibly be?
