On our wedding day, I castrated my fiancée's white moonlight.

Ignoring Sai Luoli's ashen face, Yu Canghai turned and glanced at the five Martial Grandmasters: "You lot are all people I recruited, what are you standing there for?"

"Walk!"

The five martial masters dared not say anything more, glanced apologetically at Sai Luoli, and followed Yu Canghai out of the room.

"Old Deer, aren't you leaving?"

"Old Master Lu? Even you..." Sai Luoli's delicate body trembled.

Lu Kexing looked embarrassed and stammered, "Miss, I... cough cough... the Crimson Merchant Guild is willing to give me a salary of one million spirit stones a year!"

"Furthermore, our contract expired yesterday, and you didn't renew it."

"Going to the Crimson Merchant Guild wouldn't be considered a breach of contract, would it?"

Yu Canghai called out impatiently, "Old Lu, why are you explaining so much to her?"

"Goodbye!"

Lu Kexing gritted his teeth.

He took out a token and a teleportation talisman offered by the Sai family, threw them on the table, and turned to leave.

Only Sailuoli remained standing there, her nose stinging, tears welling up in her eyes with anger: "Hahaha...you guys are really something!"

……

Early in the morning, the restaurants and teahouses throughout the Great Xia Dragon Capital were buzzing with discussion.

"Have you heard? That idiot Ye Fan has probably sold out of everything he had!"

"Hmph, half-price sale, now out of stock, huh? Let's see how he pulls off this tomorrow!"

"Heh, I've heard about his sect-protecting formation; it consumes at least a million spirit stones a day! How many days can it last?"

"Which sect in Zhongzhou isn't built upon spiritual veins? I've never seen anyone forcibly create a protective formation using spirit stones; it's unheard of!"

"No wonder he's called the biggest spendthrift in the Great Xia Dynasty! The Zhenbei Prince's Mansion is doomed!"

……

Qin Ren woke up early in the morning in a great mood.

Yesterday, he used 3 billion spirit stones to exchange for supplies worth 6 billion, which were then transported to Zhongzhou. The headquarters' senior management personally contacted him using a teleportation talisman and praised him highly.

"How's it going with the world's number one auction house?" Qin Ren asked leisurely, picking up his teacup.

The white-haired old man beside him smiled: "Young master, they released the news early this morning!"

"They said that anything from my Crimson Merchant Guild will always be bought by them at the World's Number One Auction House for 10% less than we can!"

Qin Ren's eyes narrowed: "Is this... a declaration of war against us?"

"Heh, this Ye Fan has some nerve, daring to retaliate against the Crimson Merchant Guild?"

At this time.

A woman's voice came from outside: "My lord, Elder Yu, Elder Lu and the others have arrived!"

"Oh? Please come in quickly!"

Qin Ren got up and quickly headed for the door.

On the stairs of the inn, two old men walked up side by side, followed by five martial masters!

It was Yu Canghai and Lu Kexing who exclaimed, "Young Master Qin!"

"Oh dear! No need for formalities, seniors!" Qin Ren, feigning eagerness to recruit talent, quickly stepped forward and grabbed their hands. "Both of you are Martial Venerables. Since you've joined the Crimson Merchant Guild, I should have personally come to fetch you!"

After saying that, he angrily shouted at the young woman who had led the way, "Ma San Niang, how can you do such a thing?"

"How could I possibly allow these two seniors to come see me?"

Ma San Niang knelt on one knee: "My lord, San Niang was wrong! Please punish me!"

Qin Ren said coldly, "Fix one month's salary!"

"Yes……"

Ma San Niang dared not refute!

Yu Canghai was in high spirits upon seeing this scene.

"Hmph! The Crimson Merchant Guild really has good judgment, unlike that Ye Fan, what a piece of trash!"

Qin Ren's eyes flickered slightly: "Seniors, I have a question!"

"Go ahead!" Yu Canghai nodded.

Qin Ren's gaze darkened: "You two seniors have been staying at the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion for some time. Did you discover that Central Plains Killing God... Ye Shitian?"

The room fell silent immediately after these words were spoken!

Lu Kexing frowned: "Young Master Qin, I'm sorry, we shouldn't be discussing these things..."

Yu Canghai interrupted him directly, sneering, "What's so hard to say?"

"That good-for-nothing Ye Fan is arrogant and disdainful of everyone! If it weren't for the treasure trove Ye Shitian left him, would he have so many resources?"

"By the way, Young Master Qin, neither of us sensed any powerful aura within the Prince's residence!"

"As for Ye Shitian? He doesn't exist at all!"

"Oh! I see..."

Qin Ren drew out his words, then suddenly realized.

Ye Fan! Ye Fan! So it turns out you were just pretending to be a tiger to eat a pig!

Just then, a young man ran over anxiously: "Sir, something terrible has happened!"

"The world's number one auction house is actually selling items from the initial listing at a 30% discount today!"

"First thing this morning! Ye Fan sold over three billion worth of goods in one go!"

"The stuff we bought at half price, nobody in Zhongzhou wants it!"

"The 3 billion worth of supplies we purchased yesterday... if we want to sell them, we can only lower the price together with Ye Fan. Adding in operating costs, we'll probably lose over 1 billion spirit stones!"

"What?!!"

Qin Ren stood there, his mouth agape!

My mind is buzzing, completely blank!

A loss of one billion spirit stones! And that loss came from the very person under the twelve-word Crimson Seal! Once the Crimson Chamber of Commerce's top management finds out, Qin Ren is absolutely finished!

At this time.

A red light flashed in Qin Ren's storage ring!

His pupils contracted sharply, and with trembling hands, he pulled out a teleportation talisman: "My lord, I..."

The other party was tens of thousands of miles away in Zhongzhou, but their voice still carried a terrifying rage: "Didn't you say that your buyout strategy would definitely bring down Ye Fan?"

"What's going on now? That batch of goods you sent back caused the Chamber of Commerce to lose over a billion spirit stones!"

"The loss itself is a small matter. Do you know what kind of impact this would have on the Crimson Merchant Guild if word got out?"

"I……"

Qin Ren was so frightened that he stumbled. If the white-haired old man behind him hadn't supported him, he probably would have fallen to the ground.

"Old Luo, rest assured, I will definitely... bring down the World's Number One Auction House!"

The other party sneered, "I'll give you ten more days!"

"Ten days from now, we won't see the results, but you will!"

After the audio transmission ended.

Qin Ren was trembling all over, his back soaked with sweat! The deacons of the Crimson Merchant Guild would disappear from the world completely if their mission failed!

Yu Canghai and Lu Kexing looked at each other in bewilderment!

What's going on?

"Ye Fan...you tricked me...Ye Fan!!!! You tricked me!!!"

Qin Ren roared like a madman.

"You piece of trash! You want a 30% discount, huh?"

"Fine! I'll play this game to the bitter end! Someone, send me another 10 billion spirit stones!!!"

"yes!"

The white-haired old man hurriedly went down to make arrangements.

Qin Ren raised his head, his eyes bloodshot, and smiled at Yu Canghai and Lu Kexing as if he had lost half his life: "Seniors, please forgive my poor appearance..."

He hadn't even finished saying that!

The white-haired old man, who had just left, ran back, his face ashen: "Sir, just now, the Chamber of Commerce cut off your funding..."
