With My System, I Can Even Tame Gods

Once again, there was only silence that followed after this bid was made.

The bid came from the same place as the first bid.

It wasn't Lin Fan, it was once again Ye Qing Huan who made this bid.

Lin Fan who was sitting beside her just had a bitter smile on his face, but he didn't have any intentions of stopping her. That was because there was something else that he was focused on.

Ye Qing Huan was lying down on him.

After the manager and the staff members left, she leaned in on him and used him like a pillow.

It was one of those situations that men dreamed of, but Lin Fan couldn't feel any happiness in this situation. After all, he was basically being forced to hold her in his arms like this.

After a long silence, the crowd started to whisper once more.

Only this time…it didn't seem like the whispers were as kind as before.

"Is this really the way that a VIP should be acting?"

"Do they really need to compete with us for these small items?"

"Could it be that they have a grudge with the black market and are targeting them?"

That last comment seemed to hit the nail on the head and there were many people who started to believe that this was the case.

Many of them started to feel regret over choosing to come to this auction since it seemed like this auction wasn't normal. They were feeling regret over the fact that they had been drawn in by the promise of special items…

After all, there was nothing more important than one's life.

So while they kept whispering, there were already some people that were looking to find a way to escape this place.

The management side was panicking even more than the crowd.

Since the crowd was able to come to this conclusion, it was impossible for them not to come to the same conclusion.

As such, there were some people that wanted to take action…

"Manager, we should throw them out right away."

The manager that they were talking to was the same one that had gone to the VIP room earlier.

However, the manager didn't say a thing in response.

Even though it wasn't just a single staff member that requested this of the manager. All of the staff members around the manager were requesting the same thing since they knew that this was a bad situation for their auction house.

It wasn't just about money at this point.

If they didn't handle it properly, those that were behind the auction house would no doubt take action.

When that time came, it would be their lives that would also be in danger.

So they had to deal with this situation as soon as possible.

When they saw that the manager wasn't saying a thing, they couldn't help feeling more and more anxious.

There were some people that even thought about taking action on their own…

But in the end, they were all stopped by the manager who suddenly raised a hand and said, "Stop. No one is allowed to touch those guests until the end of the auction."

All of the staff members were shocked when they heard this.

They had to look at the manager to make sure that they had heard him correctly, but the manager was already done with this matter. Instead, he just simply said, "Go and convince the other VIP guests to bid if you can. If you can't, then we'll just suffer this loss and I'll explain to the higher ups myself."

He didn't bother explaining anything else to the staff members that were all left looking confused.

The manager was already heading to his office with a determined look on his face.

He also knew that if he didn't make a move, he wouldn't be able to endure this storm.

After all, the pressure that he felt when he went to confront Ye Qing Huan was anything but ordinary. That was not the kind of pressure that a normal person would have. That was not the kind of pressure that even a normal special VIP guest would have.

It seemed that there was something strange about Ye Qing Huan…

It was not something that he could take care of alone…

…

Since there were orders to continue the auction as per normal, the host had no choice but to accept Ye Qing Huan's bid.

The whispers became even louder, but the host acted like he didn't hear a thing.

He just continued the auction as normal, though it did become a one person auction since there was only a single person that was bidding for the items.

It wasn't just the second item, but also the third and fourth item as well.

Neither of these items were considered special items. They were nothing more than filler brought out to fill the gap between the real special items.

They were supposed to be items that the crowd would fight over as they were normal people sitting in the crowd. The items that were used as filler weren't considered special items for those in the VIP seats, but they were considered special items for the normal people.

It was just that the normal people didn't have a chance to bid in the end.

In the other VIP rooms.

"Young master, this item is definitely one that suits someone like you. This servant thinks that it is just the thing that the young master needs to show off."

This was a maid who had no choice but to use her beauty to try and entice the young master sitting there to buy the item that was on auction. After all, she had received the orders to try and convince this other VIP guest to try and bid for the items that Ye Qing Huan was bidding for.

It was just too bad for her that the young master that she was trying to seduce wasn't interested at all.

In fact, he was so disinterested in her that he just waved his hand and said, "That will be all. You can leave now."

There was a disappointed look that was on the maid's face, as well as a trace of worry in her eyes since she knew that she would be punished for this. However, there wasn't anything that she could do about this since the young master had made his stance clear.

In the end, it wasn't just this maid who left the room.

The young master dismissed all of them without a single thought until there was only his group left in the room. After that, he placed a ring down on the table that was similar to the one that Ye Qing Huan had put down, but it seemed a bit weaker than Ye Qing Huan's ring.

After putting it down, he looked at one of the girls that was in his group to say, "Root out the identity of the one who made a bid. They clearly aren't normal, so I want to know everything about them."

The girl quickly stood up and gave a bow before saying, "Yes, young master."

Then before anyone could react, she disappeared from this room without a trace.

No one seemed surprised at all by this as they went back to looking at the young master.

The young master sat there looking out at the crowd while stroking his chin.

There was a thoughtful look on his face as he said, "Now, will they be a stepping stone or will they be a stumbling block?"

This wasn't just happening in this single VIP room.

It was also happening in the other VIP rooms.

All of the other VIP guests recognized that what Ye Qing Huan was doing wasn't normal, so they sent their people to check Ye Qing Huan's identities as well.

They all came here with a purpose, so of course they would do all that they could to ensure that they would be able to achieve their goals. They all thought about using Ye Qing Huan or eliminating her if she was a stumbling block.

But none of that mattered to Ye Qing Huan who seemed quite relaxed in her VIP room.

She just laid there on the couch, laying there in Lin Fan's arms as if she didn't have a single care in the world. The way that she laid there was almost as if she didn't just cause a huge mess at this auction house.

In the end, the third and fourth item all went to Ye Qing Huan since no one dared to bid against her.

The host even wanted to cry tears of bitterness seeing this as he knew that he would be blamed for this.

But that didn't stop him from introducing the fifth item.

This fifth item was different from the other items that had been brought out before this.

The moment that the fifth item was brought out, the entire atmosphere of the auction hall changed.

That was because this fifth item wasn't a filler item.

It was one of the special items that was being featured in today's auction.

It could even be considered the first real item since it was on a different level from the robe that was auctioned off first.

This time, the people in the other VIP rooms perked themselves up as they prepared to fight for this item.

Even Ye Qing Huan sat up a bit even though she was still laying in Lin Fan's arms.

Lin Fan just shook his head with a faint bitter smile since he knew that this wouldn't have anything to do with him.
