Chapter 750 -750: Auction Gala, Hidden Sabotage (4th Update)
This girl was evidently consumed by fury, fiercely wishing she could flay Xue Ansheng alive and devour him.
The bodyguards stepped forward in unison, getting ready to take action.
A smirk touched the corner of Xue An’s lips, as an overwhelming killing intent surged to the skies, causing the ground beneath him to tremble slightly.
He did not care about the identities of these people, if they dared to harm his daughter, they should prepare to pay a most painful price.
Feeling this killing intent, the bodyguards’ faces all took on a serious expression.
Just then, Xiao Dan of the City Lord’s Mansion squeezed out from the crowd, drenched in sweat, and hurriedly shouted, “Master, please do not strike yet!”
Moreover, a thunderous voice also came from a distance within Profound Thunder City, “Friend, please show mercy!”
With that said, a formidable presence descended upon the street as well.
This was a tall and majestic middle-aged man with an imposing expression.
After the man landed, he rebuked the few bodyguards with a stern voice, “Back off!”
The bodyguards hastily retreated to the side, standing with their hands at their sides, not daring to lift their heads.
Upon seeing this, Xue An simply smiled faintly, and the fierce killing intent dissipated into nothingness, reverting to a man of elegant demeanor and a nonchalant expression.
The middle-aged man, observing this, saw a flash of surprise in his eyes, then cupped his hands and said, “Friend, thank you for showing restraint!”
He then smiled at Xiao Dan off to the side, “I didn’t expect to see Mr. Xiao here!”
Upon hearing this, Xiao Dan returned the gesture with a smile, “City Lord Gao is too kind! I am merely accompanying the master here!”
This person was none other than the lord of Profound Thunder City, Gao Xinghai!
When he heard Xiao Dan addressing Xue An with such respect, his heart stirred even more.
At this moment, the young lady in brocade got up from the ground, her face full of grievance as she said to Gao Xinghai, “Father, this guy killed Mao Mao and left me looking like this! You must stand up for me!”
As she said this, she looked at Xue An with a mix of spite and triumph.
This brocade-clad young lady was indeed Gao Xinghai’s daughter, Gao Zuoyu.
Accustomed to flaunting her status as the daughter of the City Lord, she was usually insolent and overbearing.
In her view, now that her father had shown up, the man who dared to slap her would certainly pay the price!
However, Gao Xinghai scolded her, “Foolish girl, you never engage in serious matters, spoiling that Three-Eyed Golden Retriever until it became lawless. It got what it deserved by being killed!”
Gao Zuoyu was dumbfounded; she could never have anticipated such an outcome.
“Father… Father!”
“Apologize to this master immediately! Otherwise, when we get back, I will lock you up!”
With that said, Gao Xinghai turned to smile at Xue An, “My friend, my daughter has been overindulged and has become rather unruly. Please do not stoop to her level.”
Gao Zuoyu, with half her face swollen, bowed her head and murmured a hardly audible, “I was wrong! Please forgive me!”
Xue An remained noncommittal, not even sparing her a glance.
The atmosphere turned somewhat awkward.
A glint of anger shimmered deep within Gao Xinghai’s eyes, but it vanished just as quickly before he turned to speak to Xiao Dan next to him.
“Mr. Xiao, are you here to attend the annual auction event?”
Xiao Dan nodded, “The master and I were just passing by and decided to come and enjoy the spectacle!”
“Oh?” Xiaodan Cheng’s expression changed, “People from the Central Region sects have arrived too?”
