Gods: Start with Goblins

Admiring the dragon blood in his hand, he was thinking about his next plan. He didn't know that he had become the topic of the entire auction. His every move and every bid became a topic of conversation. And the aftermath of this discussion was destined to spread for a long time.

In another private room, the atmosphere was as heavy as the calm before a storm. A man with a very ugly face sat on a gorgeous sofa, his hands clenched into fists, his knuckles white from exertion. His eyes flashed with anger and unwillingness, as if he could not accept the facts before him.

"Master, we didn't get the dragon blood. How are we going to explain this to the head of the family?" A servant stood by and asked tremblingly. He knew what the failure of this mission meant to the family, and he also knew how bad the master was feeling at the moment.

The man called Master glared at the servant, his expression becoming even uglier. He slammed the table and angrily said, "How should I know!" His voice was full of annoyance and helplessness, and he was obviously extremely dissatisfied with the result this time.

The servant was frightened and quickly lowered his head, not daring to speak. After a while, he mustered up the courage to continue, "We received the news and brought only this much money. We thought it was enough, but we didn't expect such a person to suddenly appear. Who is the person sitting in box number three? He actually has such a big hand, and he is deliberately going against us and trying to steal the dragon blood from us!"

Upon hearing this, the young master frowned, and a hint of viciousness flashed in his eyes. He said in a deep voice: "Check! Go and find out who the person in Box No. 3 is right now! I want to see who is so bold as to snatch something from me!"

The servant nodded in agreement quickly, but muttered to himself: The person in box number three is so mysterious, it may not be easy to find out his identity.

The young master went on to say, "We thought we had a sure win, but it turned out to be far beyond our expectations. 7000 million spirit stones, this price has exceeded our expectations. If we want to buy it, we must report it to the upper echelons of the family, and after the approval of the upper echelons, it will take a long time to go through each level. But the auction can't wait, they want to see the ready-made spirit stones."

At this point, the young master's tone was full of helplessness and anger. He knew the impact of this failure on the family, and he also understood the blame and punishment he would face. But what he couldn't accept was that he was defeated by a mysterious person, which made him feel extremely humiliated and angry.

The servant looked at the young master's face and felt uneasy. He knew that this matter would not be so easy to get over. And the mysterious person in box number three was destined to become a thorn in their hearts, making it difficult for them to let go.

Besides, if the family's upper echelons disagree to add funds, and I can't come up with the extra money to fill the gap, the consequences of a vain auction would be disastrous. Auctions are no joke. Once you are blacklisted, it will be extremely difficult to participate in any auctions on this continent in the future. This is not only about personal reputation, but also about the face and future development of the entire family.

All these reasons made these people dare not act rashly. They knew that they had to be cautious in every step, otherwise, if they made a mistake, they might lose everything.

"Master, it seems we have to think of a way." A servant said cautiously, with a hint of worry in his voice, "The master of the family told us to get the dragon blood. This thing is very important to us."

The young master seemed extremely impatient, his brows knitted, and a hint of annoyance flashed in his eyes. He waved his hand at the servant and said impatiently, "I know, I know this is very important to the family, I will find a way. It's useless to urge me like this, do you think I'm not anxious?"

The servant saw the anxiety and helplessness on his face, and sighed inwardly. He knew he shouldn't urge him any more, but he didn't dare not convey the master's order. In the end, he could only shut up and said nothing more.

The young master closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and tried to calm himself down. He looked up at Room 3, his eyes flashing with determination. He knew that he couldn't just give up, and he had to find a way to get the bottle of dragon blood no matter what.

After a while, he seemed to have made up his mind, and clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white. His eyes gradually became determined, as if he was ready to do it at all costs.

"Butler," the young master shouted in a deep voice, his voice was filled with unquestionable determination, "Have a few people keep a close eye on Box 3 later. As soon as the person inside comes out, notify me immediately. No matter what the cost, we must get this dragon blood. Even if it means using some of the family's hidden power, we will not hesitate."

The housekeeper was shocked when he heard this. He knew that the young master had really made up his mind this time, and he also understood the risks and costs involved. But he didn't say much, just nodded silently, indicating that he would do as the young master ordered.

In this way, a secret war over dragon blood quietly began. The young master and his men began to make intensive preparations, ready to take action as soon as the person in box 3 appeared. However, the mysterious person in box 3 seemed to know nothing about it, and still sat quietly inside, admiring the treasure in his hand.

The housekeeper heard the hidden meaning in his words, his eyelids jumped, and he muttered to himself: The young master is really anxious this time, and he actually wants to use the hidden power of the family. This is a taboo! But he also knows that the dragon blood is too important to the family, and there is no room for any mistakes. So, without saying anything, he nodded and said firmly: "Okay, young master, I will do as you say."

Luo Dan sat for a while, and he really had no interest in the next auction item. He shook his head slightly, thinking to himself: Dragon blood is the biggest gain of this auction. The other treasures are either too expensive or useless to him.

After the auction ended, the crowds in the venue gradually dispersed, and the noise gradually died down. Luo Dan did not make any more moves. He sat there quietly, as if waiting for something. People around him cast curious glances, wanting to see if the mysterious person in box number three would make any more surprising moves.

However, Luo Dan just smiled faintly and said nothing more. This disappointed many people who were waiting to see the background of Box No. 3. They wanted to see if this person would make another move, whether he had any money, and whether he could stir up another storm.

"Hey, it seems that this guy is just so-so. I thought he had a lot of background!"

"That's right, there was no movement after I took the dragon blood shot. What a bummer!"

"It doesn't live up to its reputation, it doesn't live up to its reputation!" People around started to discuss, disappointed with Luo Dan's performance. They originally thought that the mysterious person in Box No. 3 would be a big shot, but he turned out to be just a flash in the pan.

However, Luo Dan didn't pay attention to the discussions. After collecting the dragon blood, he quickly left the auction through the back door. His figure was looming in the crowd and soon disappeared from people's sight.

Seeing this, the butler hurriedly followed. He knew that the young master must have more important plans to implement next, and he had to stay close to the young master and be ready to deal with any emergencies that might arise.

In this way, Luo Dan and the butler left the auction site one after another. The people around were still talking about it, full of curiosity and speculation about the identity and background of this mysterious person. But they didn't know that Luo Dan had quietly left this noisy place with the dragon blood and started a new journey.

However, not long after leaving, when Luo Dan passed a remote path, he suddenly stopped. It was quiet all around, with only the rustling of leaves in the breeze. But his eyes looked back, and they suddenly became sharp, as if they could penetrate the darkness and look directly at the uninvited guest hiding in the dark.

"Come out. You have the guts to follow me, but don't you have the guts to take responsibility for your own actions? What's the point of sneaking around?" Luodan's voice was cold and firm, echoing in this narrow path.

The air was silent for a moment, as if even the wind held its breath. After a while, several figures walked out from the darkness. Their steps were a little hesitant, but they finally stood in front of Luo Dan.

It was the young master who had competed with Luo Dan for the dragon blood at the auction, as well as his servants and several strong thugs. They looked at Luo Dan warily, with anxiety and vigilance flashing in their eyes.

Luo Dan narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at these people carefully. His eyes were as sharp as a torch, as if he could see through people's hearts, and he quickly distinguished the master and servant identities of these people. His main attention was focused on the young master, the mysterious person who had been bidding with him at the auction.

"Who are you? What's your purpose in following me?" Luo Dan's voice sounded again, this time with a hint of amusement and provocation. He wanted to know what these people's intentions were and why they followed him here.

The young master gritted his teeth. He didn't expect Luo Dan to ask so directly. He originally wanted to wait until Luo Dan was alone, then find an opportunity to take action and take back the dragon blood. But now it seems that this plan is probably going to fail.

"Hmph, why are you pretending? Do you know why we are following you?" The young master snorted coldly, trying to remain calm, but his voice trembled slightly, revealing his nervousness.

Luo Dan smiled. He certainly knew why these people followed him. It was all for the bottle of dragon blood. For the benefit of the family, they had to get it at all costs.

"Oh? Then I want to hear why you followed me?" Luo Dan deliberately stretched out his voice, his eyes flickering with a playful light. He wanted to know how these people would make up excuses to cover up their true purpose.

Seeing this, the servant stepped forward and tried to help the young master: "Sir, we have no ill intentions. It's just that our young master is very interested in that bottle of dragon blood, and wants to discuss it with you to see if it is possible..."

"Discuss? Humph, are you guys discussing? Following me here and bringing so many thugs with you, I'm afraid it's not as simple as discussing, right?" Luo Dan interrupted the servant, his eyes turned cold. He was not a fool, how could he believe these people's lies.

Seeing this, the young master knew that it was meaningless to keep it a secret any longer. He took a deep breath, mustered up his courage and said, "Well, since you've said so, I won't beat around the bush. That bottle of dragon blood is very important to our family, and we are willing to pay a higher price to buy it. Just name your price!"

The young master glanced at the butler, his eyes seemed to be seeking some kind of support or confirmation. The butler nodded slightly, his eyes firm, as if telling the young master that their decision was correct. The young master looked at the thugs behind him again. They were all strong, but at this moment they stood there quietly like loyal guards, waiting for the young master's instructions.

After considering his words in his mind, the young master quickly took a step forward. His steps were steady and powerful, and he was obviously a man with his own ideas. However, when he looked at Luo Dan, his eyes did not contain much coercion. Instead, he bowed to Luo Dan, and his attitude seemed quite polite.

"Hello, young man. I am Lei Zhen, the second young master of the Lei family. I and others followed you because we had no choice but to do so. It was for the dragon blood in your hand." Lei Zhen's voice was low and powerful. He glanced in the direction of Luodan's storage bag, which contained the dragon blood they had been dreaming of.

He did not hide his intention and stated his intention directly. He knew that at this time, concealment and deception were useless, and only by being honest could he convince the other party.

Hearing this, Luo Dan raised his eyebrows slightly, and a hint of amusement flashed in his eyes. He did not immediately answer Lei Zhen's words, but asked back: "Why, the highest bidder wins, I bid for the dragon blood openly, what do you mean by following me now? Do you want to steal the treasure?"

Lei Zhen's expression changed slightly, and a hint of embarrassment and uneasiness flashed in his eyes. He knew that Luo Dan's words had directly hit their sore spot, but they really had no other choice. He quickly shook his head, pretending to be kind, trying to defuse the awkward atmosphere.

"No, no, don't misunderstand me, sir. In fact, our Lei family came to the auction this time just for the dragon blood. We didn't expect that the money we prepared didn't buy the dragon blood, but the young master got it. This dragon blood is very important to us, it is related to the future development and prosperity of our Lei family. I don't know if you can give it up, we are willing to buy it at the same price, and we will definitely not let you lose a bit."

Lei Zhen's words were sincere and firm, and his eyes were full of expectation and desire. (End of this chapter)
