Urban Supernatural Medical Saint

Chapter 204 Trapping Turtles in a Jar



Chen Daotian observed his surroundings.

His target was the Dark Organization, so he had no interest in the auction items.

The presenter, just like last time, placed each item in the center of the stage.

Guests kept bidding competitively for each item.

Fang Yu too, was disinterested, looking around listlessly.

The two sat there, looking every bit like second-rate hoodlums, not at all like wealthy men.

"Bro, bro… that chick is pretty hot, look at her chest, and that waist... tsk tsk tsk." Chen Daotian pointed at a flamboyant beauty in the corner.

"Vulgar!" Fang Yu glanced briefly and lost interest, such types were everywhere in nightclubs.

"Don't say that! Bro, you're blissfully unaware of your blessings. With a top-tier beauty like your sister-in-law, my demands aren't high. Just one-tenth of her would be enough for me."

"Get lost, you loser!" Fang Yu laughed and cursed playfully.

At this moment, a man in a long robe approached the presenter's spot, drawing everyone's gaze.

Fang Yu nudged Chen Daotian, "See, that's all Zhao Youdao amounts to now."

Chen Daotian glanced and commented, "Zhao Youdao is now relying on the Jin Family. You killed their four protectors, better be careful."

"Pfft, it's good he's here." Fang Yu was nonchalant.

On the stage.

Zhao Youdao scanned the fully occupied seats, and after a moment, he began slowly,

"I am delighted to participate in today's auction. The next item is our Zhao Family's heirloom, the Golden Silk Armor."

A woman in a Cheongsam, holding a wooden tray, walked up slowly, covered with bright red cloth. She walked to the center of the stage, smiling.

"This Golden Silk Armor can defend against all attacks below the Fifth Layer Heaven of Martial Arts. It's invulnerable."

There was a hint of reluctance in Zhao Youdao's voice. "Please start the bidding, ladies and gentlemen, starting at thirty million!"

Upon hearing about the Golden Silk Armor, an expression of shock appeared on the guests' faces.

This was the Golden Silk Armor.

All attacks below Fifth Layer Heaven of Martial Arts! Absolutely monstrous.

"Forty million!"

"Fifty million!"

The price immediately skyrocketed.

Chen Daotian crossed his arms and said, "Poor Zhao Youdao, even auctioning off his family heirloom."

This Golden Silk Armor now caught Fang Yu's attention.

A scene from eight years ago flashed in his mind.

His father, Fang Jintian, in an attempt to protect his clan, had used a self-destruct tactic to try taking Zhao Youdao down with him but was blocked by this Golden Silk Armor.

"The Zhao family's foundation shouldn't have fallen so low as to sustain themselves by selling things. This old bastard must be desperate, willing to trade all his assets for my life," Fang Yu said with a smirk.

"Wow, this guy really dares…" Chen Daotian chuckled, then suddenly sensed something amiss, "Wait, trade for your life? Do they know you were coming today?"

"No kidding, I took the Zhao family's Black Wood Lotus, and the Jin Family used the other half to lure me out. Isn't it obvious they are setting a trap?"

"Huh, they are quite clever. Aren't you worried they might use a fake Black Wood Lotus?"

"Real or fake, just kill them all."

Fang Yu's eyes turned frosty.

Hearing this, Chen Daotian shivered, "With your commanding attitude, Bro, kill them and why worry about not getting the Black Wood Lotus? I haven't stretched my muscles in a long while, let me start today."

"Sure, you go first. You do have an S-rank mission, after all." Fang Yu commented carelessly.

While saying this, his gaze lightly passed over an old man with a white beard sitting in a corner.

Though the old man was white-haired, he looked vibrant and radiant, not appearing ordinary. The aura emanating from him indicated he was a Martial Arts expert.

Yet…

Who exactly is this old man?

The path of Martial Arts is profoundly deep. Many people love to show off and dominate various leaderboards, like Chen Daotian, who cares a lot about his ranking. However, there are also many who hide in every corner of the world, appearing ordinary by day but turning into fearsome assassins and saboteurs by night.

Huaxia also established the Dark Web to address this chaos.

In the Nine Provinces of Huaxia, nine major divisions were established to suppress and balance these undercurrents.

"Two hundred million!"

"Two hundred million, ten million!"

"Two hundred million, twenty million!"

The bidding continued vigorously.

Clearly, the Golden Silk Armor was worth the price.

When the bidding reached this level, the pace slowed down considerably as there weren't many who could afford such a price.

The host, seeing no further bids, raised his hammer and said:

"Two hundred and twenty million, any further bids?"

"Two hundred and twenty million, for the first!"

"Two hundred and twenty million, for the second!"

"Two hundred and twenty million, for the third! Sold!"

A young man rushed up, grinning as he followed the staff backstage.

The Golden Silk Armor was successfully auctioned off, a flash of disappointment crossed Zhao Youdao's face.

"Bro Yu, didn't you want this item?" Chen Daotian asked.

"Bearing a treasure without the power exposes one to crime. Only those without strength rely on external things, but... if you're powerless, how can you ensure such a treasure won't be snatched away?" Fang Yu replied.

Upon hearing this, Chen Daotian exclaimed, "Bro Yu, I truly admire you, you even thought about this."

"Get lost, blaming others for being too smart because you're dumb," Fang Yu replied with a roll of his eyes.

"..."

Meanwhile.

On the stage, Zhao Youdao turned and headed backstage.

The host then announced: "Next up, something I believe everyone will love. This is a mysterious object, rumored to have fallen from the sky, a rare gem indeed."

A glamorous woman, holding a wooden tray, walked up.

The object appeared small.

Standing in the center of the stage, the host approached with a microphone and continued, "Please watch closely..."

He lifted the red cloth.

A delicate Brocade Box appeared.

Then, the host opened the lid—

"It is—Black, Wood, Lotus!"

Shwoosh!

The appearance of the Black Wood Lotus came into view.

Everyone held their breath and looked over.

It was dark and dull, without any luster or unusual aspects, resembling a moldy mushroom.

"Are you kidding me, this thing is the Black Wood Lotus?"

"Are you deceiving us? Using random trash to scam money?"

"This thing, could it be something good? Oh, come on!"

The guests were quite skeptical that the Divine Wood could be so miraculous.

However, the host still loudly proclaimed:

"In the eyes of those who can't recognize true value, even a rare treasure is deemed worthless. Starting low at two hundred million, with increments of no less than twenty million! Please place your bids!"

The room erupted in astonishment!

The starting bid alone is two hundred million!

Damn, why not just go rob someone?

Hearing this number, even Chen Daotian cursed.

How could people make money in such a thuggish way nowadays.

Yet… as soon as the words were spoken, a steady voice from the corner rang out—

"Three hundred million!"
