Harness Cultivator

After walking through the stairs, Tang Lingling guided the way toward Madam Liu's office.

Right when they reached the office, Tang Lingling suddenly halted her movement.

"We're here, Young Master." Tang Lingling said as she stepped toward the side. 

"Madam Liu only wished to see you now so I'll be waiting outside." 

Lee Tao nodded his head.

"Very well then," he said softly and directly entered without knocking on the door.

As soon as Lee Tao entered, a melody and an enchanting voice echoed throughout the office.

"As expected of my son. You are the one and only person that dared to enter my office without knocking at all." Madam Liu teased as she giggled.

Lee Tao shrugged his shoulders.

He took a seat down and placed both of his legs on top of her desk. 

With his hand leaning behind his head, Lee Tao showed an arrogant expression.

"Most people may be afraid of you, but unfortunately, I do not fear you one bit." Lee Tao said.

"Of course, you are my son and everyone knows that I spoiled you to death." Madam Liu wholeheartedly agreed with his words.

Her face seemed to be dazzling in a glorious light, almost like she wasn't ashamed of being a spoiled mother. 

Meanwhile, Lee Tao twitched his mouth at the shamelessness of his mother.

"You are one shameless woman…" Lee Tao said.

"Thank you, son. Mother is so happy that you are praising me," She replied with a bright smile.

The smile was so bright that Lee Tao had no choice but to drop his legs down from her desk and cover his eyes with both of his hands.

"Ugh, goddamn disgusting." He spouted. 

Madam Liu didn't seem to mind the rude remarks from Lee Tao as she continued on with her business.

"Anyway, there are already multiple famous clans being seated all across the auction house now." Madam Liu said as she showed a list of items that are going to be auctioned in order.

"The items that you have submitted to me would be around the end of the auctioning." She added.

Lee Tao raised an eyebrow.

"What do you mean by that?" He asked.

Since this was his actual first time conducting an auction event, he had no clue on how the procedure is done.

Madam Liu sighed as she shook her head.

"My son is very confident and arrogant in everything. Yet when it comes to practical stuff… his brain seemed to be fried somewhere along the road." She teased.

"..."

"Xiao Chu, inject a shit ton of euphoria on her." Lee Tao sent a mental transmission to Xiao Chu as he ordered her to do something extremely immoral.

Alas, Xiao Chu gave him the cold shoulder treatment as she spat, "It's your mother and you got roasted by her. Thus, I refuse to help someone who just got burned hard."

Lee Tao felt like he was getting a pincer attack from both Xiao Chu and his own mother at the same time.

'What the hell is going on?' He screamed internally. 

Sometime later, Madam Liu stood up as she smiled at Lee Tao.

"The guests are probably waiting for a long time now. We should go and greet them." Madam Liu said.

"Why should we greet them?" Lee Tao asked. "They should be the one crawling toward us for giving them a chance to earn our favor."

"That's not how it works, Xiao Tao. The guests we are visiting aren't some nobodies but people from the VIP Section." Madam Liu explained.

And she continued, "Since this is a grand event by us, the emperor had personally made a visit to our auction house."

Lee Tao was dumbfounded.

'Just a mere emperor… What's the big deal?' He wondered silently.

According to his knowledge, he was sure that his own mother had never placed the emperor in her eyes.

Thus, he found it confusing that she would suddenly offer to pay a visit to someone she had never cared about before.

Meanwhile, Madam Liu held a mysterious smile as she could tell what's on his mind.

'Hehe, the emperor may be an unimportant figure, but his daughter is a different story…' She laughed inwardly.

"Let's go, Xiao Tao." Madam Liu said as she left the office shortly after.

"Tch, she's acting like a boss when it should have been me instead." Lee Tao clicked his tongue.

Despite being unwilling to comply, he decided to follow anyway since he had nothing else to do.

The auction event may have been started by him, but he had no interest in doing all the procedures and tasks. 

He was a Young Master after all, and extremely wealthy. 

Why would he need to work everything personally when he has many people hired to do the job for him?

"Sigh, why did she walk so fast?" Lee Tao complained as he ordered Tang Lingling to show him the way toward the VIP Section.

"Lead the way, Tang Lingling."

Tang Lingling nodded her head.

She then proceeded to take a right turn and started walking ahead.

After a few minutes of walking, Lee Tao could see Madam Liu standing outside a glamorous entrance with a calm demeanor.

"I shall wait here for you, Young Master." Tang Lingling said as she stepped toward the sideline again.

"Why aren't you following us?" Lee Tao asked. 

"My status is that of a servant, and it's inappropriate for me to be in the VIP Section." She replied.

Lee Tao snorted coldly as he grabbed her wrist and dragged her. 

"This is my place and not some other people's place. Thus, I could care less about that crap." He said. 

"B-But this is-"

"Shut up, Tang Lingling." Lee Tao glared at her. 

"Whose order do you care the most? My order or the random people inside the VIP Section?" He asked.

It didn't even take a second before Tang Lingling showed a resolute expression.

"Of course, it's your order, Young Master."

"Then I am ordering you to follow me inside, and if any pests want to bother me… Make sure to kick them far away from me."
