"You can try," Li Se smiled disdainfully, even beckoning Zhou Shao provocatively.
"You really won't hand over the copper coins?" Zhou Shao's face turned fierce, "Fine, it's not impossible to cripple you and take these five copper coins then."
"Get them!"
At Zhou Shao's command, the dozen or so people pounced on Li Se simultaneously.
Chu Mingxuan and Chen Bin clenched their fists, ready to fight alongside Li Se. However, in the next moment, they were dazzled. Li Se had made his move. In the blink of an eye, all dozen men were lying on the ground, writhing in pain.
"Wow!" Chu Mingxuan's eyes widened, and he gave Li Se a thumbs-up, "Amazing, amazing!"
"How is that possible?" Zhou Shao's face turned a little pale. A dozen people couldn't even deal with one person. Was this a joke?
"Young Master Zhou, is it? Do you still think you can stop me?" Li Se walked towards him with a half-smile.
"I'm telling you, my uncle is Eighth Master. If you dare touch me, Eighth Master won't let you go!" Zhou Shao said furiously.
"Alright, I'll give you a chance. Go call Eighth Master!" Li Se said with a smile.
"You said it yourself!" Zhou Shao immediately took out his phone and dialed a number, "Uncle, Uncle, hurry and save me. Someone is trying to kill me. I've already mentioned your name, Eighth Master, and they still don't care... Okay, I'll wait for you!"
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Shao said smugly, "You wait, my uncle will be here soon."
Li Se was a little surprised. Was Zhao Ba really this Zhou Shao's uncle?
Soon, Zhao Ba arrived with his men. However, as soon as he saw it was Li Se, his face turned black. This was the second time today. He walked over with a dark expression.
"Uncle, it's him. Kill him..." Zhou Shao said excitedly.
Zhao Ba's heart was filled with rage. He raised his hand and slapped Zhou Shao fiercely. With a bang, Zhou Shao was sent flying, crashing onto the ground several meters away.
"Uncle... you... why are you hitting me?" Zhou Shao was bewildered.
Zhao Ba couldn't be bothered to waste words with Zhou Shao. Instead, he apologized to Li Se, "Brother Li, I apologize. My subordinate has troubled you again."
"Brother Zhao, it's nothing," Li Se shook his head.
"Brother Li, are you leaving now?" Zhao Ba asked.
Li Se nodded, "The items at the antique club are quite ordinary."
"Brother Li, if you don't mind, come with me somewhere. I guarantee it will broaden your horizons," Zhao Ba chuckled.
"Where?" Li Se couldn't help but ask.
Zhao Ba pointed upwards, "The top floor."
Chu Mingxuan and Chen Bin were both astonished. They had heard about the top floor of the antique club. It was said that only true magnates of the antique world could go to the top floor, and the transactions there basically started from tens of millions. The antiques downstairs were just minor affairs.
"Okay!" Li Se became interested. He then looked at Chu Mingxuan and Chen Bin, "Do you want to come along?"
"Of course!" Chu Mingxuan and Chen Bin nodded without hesitation. They were quite curious and interested in the top floor of the antique club.
"Then let's go together." Zhao Ba laughed heartily and led Li Se and the others into an elevator, going directly to the eighth floor. The decoration here was completely different from downstairs. The surrounding walls were adorned with antique calligraphy and paintings, and every few meters, there were porcelain pieces displayed. It was evident that they were extremely valuable. The overall decoration of this top floor was likely worth no less than a hundred million!
Then, they entered a room. The room was very large, with a round table in the center already occupied by several people. These people were clearly wealthy. Upon seeing Zhao Ba arrive, one of the thinner magnates smiled and said, "Eighth Master, you're finally here. We've been waiting impatiently."
"Haha, sorry to keep you waiting. Something came up," Zhao Ba said with a smile and sat down. He motioned for Li Se to sit beside him, and Chu Mingxuan and Chen Bin also sat down in order.
"Who are these people?" the somewhat thin magnate asked.
"Oh, them? They are my friends. They're here to see the world today," Zhao Ba said casually.
"Since you're here, let's not waste time. Bring out the goods," said an extremely sexy woman, her shoulders bare, a expanse of smooth, white skin that made many men present unable to resist stealing glances.
Even though Li Se had been surrounded by many beautiful women recently, he couldn't help but steal a couple of glances. This woman was truly beautiful, and she seemed to exude a captivating charm from within, making one unable to resist. He secretly marveled, could this woman possess a naturally alluring physique?
*Clap clap...*
Zhao Ba clapped his hands, and immediately an object was brought up and placed in the center of the round table, covered with a red cloth. When the red cloth was unveiled, it revealed a jade Buddha. Everyone present was astonished.
"This jade Buddha is no ordinary item. It is said to be..." someone immediately began to introduce the jade Buddha, which was reportedly several hundred years old.
However, Li Se frowned after looking at it, because he could feel a malevolent aura emanating from the jade Buddha, possibly the same as Zhao Ba's jade pendant from before. Such items, having been in contact with the deceased for a long time, never seeing sunlight, and remaining in a sealed state, accumulated immeasurable malevolent energy and the resentment of the tomb owner. Keeping such an antique nearby would only bring disaster.
Despite this, the wealthy individuals were determined to acquire the jade Buddha. In just a few minutes, the bidding had reached thirty million, and it was ultimately purchased by the very beautiful woman.
Li Se couldn't help but shake his head helplessly and sigh.
The beautiful woman seemed to notice Li Se's action, a strange look in her eyes, but she said nothing.
The next item brought up was a bead, carved with lifelike patterns, and emitting a fragrance.
"Not good, cover your mouths and noses!" Li Se suddenly shouted.
"Haha!"
Just then, the door to the private room was kicked open, and a group of people rushed in. Leading them was a man with a scar on his face, holding a cleaver in his hand.
"Wang Hu, what are you doing here?" Zhao Ba's face changed. He tried to stand up, but suddenly found his legs felt weak. He remembered Li Se's words. Could this bead be problematic?
Wang Hu sneered, "Zhao Ba, today is your death day. Don't worry, after you die, I'll take over the Martial Alliance for you!"
Speaking of which, he noticed the woman with the natural alluring charm and exclaimed, "My luck is truly good. I actually ran into such a beauty. This will be my spoils of war!"
The charming woman's delicate face changed slightly, but at this moment, she had no way to resist.
"Everyone, I am only here to kill Zhao Ba. As for this beauty, I have taken a liking to her. I have no interest in the rest. I am not someone who kills innocents indiscriminately."
As Wang Hu spoke, he advanced towards Zhao Ba with his cleaver...
