Urban Powerhouse: Chaos Supreme

Lin Mo recalled that indeed a year ago, he had helped Lu Haotian auction elixirs and magic artifacts. At that time, the head of the auction wanted to meet with him, but he refused.

The matter had passed so long ago that he had forgotten all about it.

”Mr. Lin, I didn’t expect to see you here. Since I am the host today, I must ask for the honor of treating you to dinner,” Duanmu Xiang said, with a faint smile and bright eyes that shimmered like spring water in autumn.

Standing next to Lin Mo, Yingzi frowned slightly and murmured in a low voice, ”Vixen.”

However, Xia Mengdie was more mature, maintaining a faint smile throughout.

Chai Xiujin stood awkwardly aside, hand still extended, his face alternating between pale and flushed with extreme embarrassment, as Duanmu Xiang completely ignored his presence.

Lu Huahui, Lu Huan, Pan Yaowen, and others showed expressions of surprise. The Jia Family’s young lady actually knew Lin Mo?

”We’ll talk another time,” Lin Mo said indifferently.

Everyone present was a business elite; his words clearly conveyed his lack of interest in having dinner.

Everyone was again surprised.

The young lady of the Jia Family, both in beauty and background, was second to none. She personally invited you to dinner, and yet you refused—an incredible display of status!

Duanmu Xiang wasn’t angry, instead she smiled, ”That’s right, Mr. Lin has been very busy lately. It was thoughtless of me.”

Even more shocking was that Duanmu Xiang didn’t seem upset at all; instead, she felt as if she had disturbed Lin Mo.

Everyone’s gaze returned to Lin Mo, wondering about his background. Could he really be from a super-wealthy family, or perhaps a distinguished gentleman from Beijing?

”By the way, I forgot to bring money when I was shopping just now. Your auction house said it doesn’t count!”

Lin Mo spoke up.

Duanmu Xiang’s expression subtly changed, and she turned to look at Manager Gao. The formerly smiling Duanmu Xiang now had a chilly demeanor, exuding the authority of a high-ranking leader.

Manager Gao sweated profusely, ”Miss, it’s the auction house’s rule that has never changed. This gentleman did not register beforehand...”

”Rules can be changed. Mr. Lin’s words still stand, and the money he bid will be covered by our Jia Family,” Duanmu Xiang said coolly.

Manager Gao was inwardly astounded.

The reason the Jia Family’s auction house was the biggest in Huaxia was because of their credibility and rules. In sixty years since its establishment, he had never heard of altering the rules for a customer.

”Could this person really be a big shot with extensive influence?” Manager Gao glanced at Lin Mo, deeply shocked.

The onlookers around them gasped in astonishment.

The Jia Family wasn’t just breaking rules for this young man; they were even directly funding two-hundred-and-fifty billion!

Chai Xiujin clenched his fist; wasn’t this a public humiliation?

”Miss Duanmu, just because Jia Family is the largest auction house in Huaxia, does that mean it can do whatever it wants, even breaking the rules? How can Jia Family establish a footing in Huaxia in the future?” Although Chai Xiujin was angry, he wasn’t out of his wits and didn’t dare to directly insult Duanmu Xiang.

”Young Master Chai, our Jia Family has been established for sixty years, relying on rules and credibility to grow to its current scale. However, we can make an exception for Mr. Lin. Perhaps you aren’t aware of Mr. Lin’s identity yet?” Duanmu Xiang said, her expression cold.

Chai Xiujin snorted coldly and sneered, ”I don’t care what his identity is. This is the Northeast, the territory of the Chai Family where even dragons must coil and tigers must lie down. Besides, with Elder Gu present, who would dare to be presumptuous?”

Elder Gu frowned slightly, wearing a hint of pride on his face.

Although the Duanmu family was powerful, their roots were not in the Northeast, so the Chai Family was not afraid of the Jia Family.

Duanmu Xiang shook her head, then closed her mouth and stopped speaking, but her eyes conveyed a trace of pity.

Two years ago, when Lin Mo had just risen in Shu Province, Jia Family had already started noticing him, although at that time he was merely an underground overlord of Shu Province, not yet important enough for Jia Family to deliberately curry favor.

However, over the past year, as Lin Mo dominated Shu Province, pressed down Imperial City, and overpowered Shanghai, he had even caused a huge stir in the Northeast recently, causing Jia Family to be profoundly shaken, even regretting not building a relationship with Lin Mo earlier.

With an identity like Lin Mo’s, what was the Chai Family considered? Duanmu Xiang mentally shook her head.

”I don’t care what your identity is, this is the Northeast, our Chai Family’s territory. If you know what’s good for you, apologize and make reparations now, and I’ll let you leave; otherwise...” Chai Xiujin said coldly.

But before he could finish speaking, his body suddenly soared backward like a kite with its string cut.

Uncle Guan and Elder Gu were both startled; being Martial Artists themselves, they saw the little girl with double ponytails beside Lin Mo kick Chai Xiujin flying, while others didn’t even catch her movement.

”Is she also a Martial Artist?” Uncle Guan asked in slight astonishment.

”How dare she harm someone from the Chai Family.” Elder Gu’s face showed anger, and he gathered True Qi into his palms, striking out towards Yingzi.

Yingzi snorted lightly, lifting her arm that was as fair as freshly fallen snow. Her delicate palm, clear as jade, lightly slapped away, and when her True Qi collided with Elder Gu’s, Yingzi’s delicate body trembled slightly, but Elder Gu stumbled backward three steps, his face filled with shock.

Elder Gu was certain that her strength had not reached the realm of a Peak Martial Emperor, yet her power surpassed that of a Peak Martial Emperor, her True Qi being incredibly solid.

With such a young age and martial prowess, unless she was taught by an extraordinarily capable Master, or came from an ancient Martial Arts Family, it would be absolutely impossible for her to reach such a realm by her own cultivation.

”Master, young lady?” Elder Gu suddenly thought of something, his eyes widening as he looked at Lin Mo, his lips quivering, ”Could it be... could you be that legendary young man?”

”Oh, you know about me?” Lin Mo looked at him indifferently.

With Lin Mo’s confirmation, Elder Gu’s face turned deathly pale, his legs shaking with fright.

Now, the most well-known name in the Northeast was not the Green Dragon Gang or the Joy Sect, but Lin Mo. Elder Gu had even seen a video on an underground forum showing Lin Mo emerging from meditation; the sky and earth had changed colors, thunder clashed like the name of God, as if an Immortal had descended.

The video was shot from too far away to see Lin Mo’s face clearly.

But it was rumored that he was a handsome and aloof young man; who else could train such a formidable girl?

Though Yingzi had not formally stepped into the realm of a Peak Martial Emperor, the Cultivation Technique Lin Mo taught her was top-notch. Being constantly by Lin Mo’s side, influenced day by day, her strength had soared like bamboo shoots after a spring rain within a year. She was not yet a Peak Martial Emperor, but she surpassed one!
