Chen Fei only had five thousand Magic Gold Coins left, but Bread had suddenly raised the bid to four thousand…

"Five thousand."

Sitting in the VIP room, Chen Fei's eyebrows furrowed tightly. An icy chill flashed through his gaze.

"Hmph! Five thousand? I bid six thousand!" Bread had finally seized the opportunity to make Chen Fei lose face, to see him frustrated and infuriated. How could he possibly give up now? He mockingly raised the bid again.

Of course, he wasn't bidding like this because he actually wanted the Jade Compass. His goal was purely to humiliate the Easterner who had dared to offend him, Bread, and prevent him from getting what he wanted. Or, even if he did get it, he would have to pay many times the price—a fortune spent in vain! That was Bread's true intention.

But to his complete surprise, just after his bid of "six thousand Magic Gold Coins" was called out, that damned, despicable Easterner's VIP room suddenly fell silent.

Instantly, it wasn't just him; most people in the auction hall were stunned.

Could it be that the guy was just acting on a whim?

"Six thousand Magic Gold Coins. The current bid is six thousand Magic Gold Coins. Is there a higher bid?" On the auction stage, Grand Duke Abel held his gavel, his gaze fixed on Bread's VIP room. His cloudy eyes twinkled with an unusual sneer as his cool voice echoed throughout the hall.

Within the Ashford Family, he was actually part of Elder Vance's faction, so he wasn't very fond of the Bread boy. So brainless.

As Grand Duke Abel looked toward Bread's VIP room, the others in the auction hall also turned their gazes in that direction.

"Fuck!"

Although it was impossible to see inside the VIP room from the outside, Bread saw the prickly gazes converging on him from all directions through the massive floor-to-ceiling windows. His face instantly flushed red. It was as if he could see mocking smiles on every face, shamelessly ridiculing him.

Spending six thousand Magic Gold Coins on a Jade Compass that's of no real use to him... probably only a fool like Bread would do something like that. Privately, a few people couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Bread's expression grew uglier, and beads of sweat began to form on his forehead. It wasn't because of the six thousand Magic Gold Coins, but because he felt utterly humiliated.

Just then, Chen Fei emerged from the VIP room. His expression was cold and impassive as he asked the Ashford Family servant waiting outside, "Do you have a more private room here? A bigger one, a bit quieter."

"A private room? Yes, sir. Please follow me," the Ashford Family servant responded immediately, then led Chen Fei out from the VIP area of the auction hall.

Meanwhile, in their respective VIP rooms, Bread and Vivian also received the news.

Thus, not long after the servant led Chen Fei from the auction hall, and before they had even left the grounds of Huane Tower, a brunette girl with twin ponytails in a "kawaii" princess costume rushed up from behind with a large retinue. "Wait! Stop right there!" she shouted coldly.

"Miss Vi-Vivian," the servant stammered, his face instantly paling. He clearly recognized her.

Chen Fei stopped and turned, casting an indifferent glance at Vivian, but his attention was quickly drawn to the older woman following behind her.

A Blood Clan Grand Duke? he mused, somewhat surprised by the Nuo Weiya Family's resources.

At that moment, Vivian Nuo Weiya strode directly up to Chen Fei. Her beautiful, blood-red eyes fixed on him as she spoke in an accusatory tone, "So it's you! You've got some nerve!"

"Some nerve? Me?" Chen Fei's gaze finally returned to her, his eyes flickering slightly.

"Of course, it's you! Don't you know that Brad won the Blood Ancestor Essence Stone to give to me, yet you dared to bid against him? If that's not having nerve, what is?" Vivian stared coldly at Chen Fei, her tone making it sound like this was simply a matter of course. How dare you compete for something I, Vivian, want? How dare you try to snatch it away? Are you looking to die?!

Hearing this, Chen Fei's face darkened. He didn't say a word, only giving Vivian a cold look. This woman is clearly used to being on top, speaking with a tone that assumes everyone must obey her.

When Chen Fei remained silent, Vivian became even more aggressive and demanding. "Are you deaf or mute? Why aren't you talking!"

Many people had already received the news and rushed out from the auction hall to watch the commotion. Seeing this unfold, they thought to themselves: Interesting. Thanks to the indulgence and spoiling of her grandmother, Granny Doya—one of the two titans of the Nuo Weiya Family—Vivian has developed such a disdainful and arrogant personality. Now this Easterner dares to disrespect her and snatch her things. With a temper like hers, it'd be stranger if she *wasn't* angry!

Never mind that Vivian herself is a rare Blood Clan prodigy who has nearly reached the peak of the Blood Clan Duke realm at such a young age. Just consider her grandmother—a legendary figure who has reached the Blood Clan Prince Realm and one of the two titans of the Nuo Weiya Family. Who would dare to provoke her? Who would dare to disrespect her?
