Zhu Tian woke up in the darkness.

He didn't know what kind of chaos had taken place in the entire peaceful town in the past three hours or so.

It was a huge warehouse house, empty all around, nothing superfluous, just walls and open space.

Standing up from the ground, he picked up the candle on the ground, groped around the wall, found the exit, and slowly forced, the wooden door opened silently.

The orator was waiting for him outside the door. "Sir, you ......"

Zhu Tian ignored him, but walked directly towards the end of the corridor.

The orator immediately walked into the wooden door that Zhu Tian had just come out of, and the next moment, he ran out again in a panic......

In the reception room of the auction house, the boss sat with a gloomy face.

He had stayed up all night, dealing with the Kingdom guards and guards who had come to inquire about him, when he was about to face an even more important guest. Sure enough, the brand-new wooden door in the reception room was pushed open, and a man in a blue hat walked in.

The two of them didn't have too much politeness, just glanced at each other, and Zhu Tian sat opposite him without seeing it.

Bang!

The wooden door was opened again, and the orator rushed in in a panic. He ran to the boss's side and whispered to the boss, "Our underground vaults have all been emptied! A full 800,000 gold coins!

The boss tried his best not to make a surprised expression, and slowly squirmed his throat, and he looked at Zhu Tian across the table. "How did you do that?" he asked, "800,000 gold coins, not 800,000 gold coins! I used 500 men to bring in 800,000 gold coins in the surrounding cities! Can you tell me how you managed to lose 800,000 gold coins overnight?"

Zhu Tian looked at the boss with a somewhat indifferent gaze, and he said slowly:

"You don't need to know this, if you have time, you can go to the lumber yard and get the Sandy cane. ”

"Also, what should be done about today's events?"

"The gold coins were seized during your escort, and I was asked to solve it, shouldn't you give me an explanation?"

On the other side of the table, this middle-aged man in blue clothes was completely suppressed by Zhu Tian's aura, not only because of what the other party said, but also because of the other party's weird and inexplicable ability!

He was shouting in his heart: How did you turn 800,000 gold coins into nothing!

After more than ten seconds of silence, the boss finally spoke: "You can ask me to compensate, and if you can be satisfied, I will try my best to satisfy you." ”

Zhu Tian was waiting for his words. "From Baron Hygiville, I learned that what I was selling was a luxury item. He said, "You have never told me anything like this, and it is embarrassing to lead me to Baron Hydgvi." ”

The boss was silent, he knew that Zhu Tian must have something to do.

"I don't need compensation, I just need you to do one thing for me. A wicked smile hung on the corner of Zhu Tian's mouth. said: "This is also a way to get the best of both worlds to prevent you from stabbing me in the back again."

The boss remained silent.

"Let's get your orator to get a bucket of cold water first. ”

Without a command, the orator walked out.

Zhu Tian stood up at this time and walked to the corner of the room. "Have you opened this sack?" he asked, looking at his boss.

The boss shook his head and said, "No." ”

Zhu Tian opened the sack as he spoke: "It seems that you are a man of promises, but I hope our cardinal will not be suffocated." ”

Cardinal?

The boss's body suddenly tightened, and he stood up from his chair in an instant. "What did you just say?" he asked sharply, "what cardinal?"

Zhu Tian didn't answer him, just silently lifted the sack in the corner. A ragged man peeked out of the sack.

Red clothes, wilted countenance......

Isn't this the cardinal!

The boss froze, and his steps as he walked over were a little shaky and messy. He trembled and pointed at the cardinal: "This and this, this and this ......"

"Well, you read that right, he's a cardinal. Look at you, you look like you know him. Under the boss's panicked gaze, Zhu Tian patted the cardinal's face and woke him up directly.

"Lord Bishop!" Immediately, the boss made a gesture of putting his hands on his chest.

No one answered him, he unconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and then slowly looked up.

I saw that the cardinal's eyes were a little puffy, there was a dark purple color around the eye sockets, and his cheeks were a little thin, compared to the cardinal who had come to the auction house two days ago, he had lost more than a circle. Even, the boss saw that the honorable cardinal was already thin, and he was almost unrecognizable!

This...... What's going on?

The cardinal opened his eyes, and at this moment he only felt that the world was spinning, and he could not even see the scene around him clearly, let alone the person in front of him. In his eyes, everything is blurred.

The boss covered his forehead with both hands at this time, looking at the cardinal with a demented face, but he didn't know what to say.

At this moment the orator came in from outside the house, and came behind the two men, and when he saw the cardinal leaning in the corner, the bucket in his hand fell to the ground. A puddle of clear water poured out of the barrel, but fortunately it didn't tip over.

Zhu Tian lifted the bucket from the ground, and then poured all the cold water in the barrel onto the cardinal's head under the dull gaze of the two.

A damp smell came, mixed with a hint of fishy stench.

Not knowing whether it was because of the smell or because he was afraid of the cardinal's gaze, both the boss and the orator took a step back.

The cardinal was awakened, but his vision was still blurry. He stretched out his two hands and scratched them in front of him, but he couldn't catch the blurred face.

Zhu Tian glanced at this crazy guy suspiciously, and two fingers shook in front of him. "Blind?" he was puzzled, then pulled open the cardinal's torn trouser leg.

I saw that the tightly bandaged place was already covered with blood. The wound unsurprisingly worsened, but ...... Yes, Zhu Tian saw that there were a few black lines that had spread to the cardinal's knees at some point, and looking at the posture, it seemed that there was still a tendency to spread upward.

Zhu Tian couldn't help but start to admire at this time, the poison of the rotten gold monster was really strong! Even if he cut off both feet, he still couldn't stop the spread of the toxin!

Judging by the cardinal's reaction, the toxin should have invaded his brain!

Zhu Tian couldn't help but wonder: If he decisively cut off his feet when he was poisoned just now, would the toxin remain in his body?

Pulling the cardinal's eyelids, Zhu Tian saw that there were still a few black lines hidden between his white eyes!

No wonder he couldn't see clearly!

Originally, he also wanted to hand over the arduous task of splashing water to the boss, and he didn't have to break it at this time. Maybe now that the God of Light has come, he won't be able to save the cardinal.

"My request is very simple, I'm going to leave this guy with you for a day, and you can just keep an eye on it for me, whether it's just here or thrown into the cellar, and don't lose it. Zhu Tian thought to himself. Actually, it's okay to lose it, no matter who comes, they can't save this guy. His death was only a matter of time.

Zhu Tian looked back at the sluggish two people. "Don't you see? He's delirious. So don't worry. He spread his hands, and then said, "Just keep an eye on him, it's not difficult for me to ask for this, right?"

"I refuse!" the boss shouted out. He saw the cardinal's legs, and he saw the cardinal's misty eyes. Horrified, he said, "We must tell the church!

"Hey, hey......" Zhu Tian lowered his head and sneered evilly.

The boss and the orator got goosebumps from his laughter.

"Danger? Do you know the danger at this time?" Zhu Tian squinted his eyes slightly, just looking at him. "Why didn't you tell me that it was dangerous when Lao Tzu walked into the mayor's castle alone? Why didn't you ask for it instead of me after deducting 100,000 gold coins? Well? You can't let Lao Tzu do everything, right? Hmm? How do you know that I can definitely get the gold coins back? Or is this just a test for you? I don't believe that your forces can come up with so many gold coins, and in the end even a little baron can't be even!"

Hit the nail on the head!

Zhu Tian directly said the essence of the problem!

Whether it's in this world or another, there's a pattern to everything. In the two worlds, there is a common law - money is everything!

Money can represent power, it can represent status, it can represent everything!

He didn't believe that the auction house forces that could take out a million gold coins at their fingertips would be afraid of a little baron!

If they were even afraid of the baron, they wouldn't have accumulated so many gold coins!

Almost every adult knows that this is a world of the jungle!

You don't have the strength, will you only have gold coins?

Wouldn't a careless child holding a hundred gold coins in his hand be robbed? If this were the case, Zhu Tian would not have thought of using violent means to regain the gold coins!

That's right, a title like Baron Hejgwick is completely inadequate in the eyes of the owner of the auction house.

Their family power spread across the continent, and it was their norm to do business with noble figures such as counts, marquises, and dukes. All of this is due to the cautious attitude that is characteristic of their family.

The boss kept his head down, not daring to look at the cardinal leaning against the corner, he thought for a while and said, "Please take this man away, and we will treat it as if nothing had happened." At this time, the weakened cardinal fainted again.

"When nothing happened?" Zhu Tian frowned. "And what about your 800,000 gold coins? Can I take your 800,000 gold coins as if it didn't happen? ”

At the mention of the gold coin, the boss suddenly raised his head, sighed and said, "You need to pay us a noble cane of equal value." ”

"Then let's do some personnel for Lao Tzu!" Zhu Tian suddenly approached him. "Otherwise, don't talk about everything! Don't talk about your noble cane, I won't give it to you, your power! Your family will have one more enemy from now on, an enemy that can kill the cardinal!" Zhu Tian controlled his breathing. He didn't shy away from it, so he took out a gold coin from his sleeve, put it in his mouth and chewed it!

The boss and the orator were stunned.

Zhu Tian pointed to the cardinal, and then said: "One day! I will come back here to find him before dark tomorrow at the latest! If I come back here again and find that you have sent him to the church, or lost him, then your auction house will bear my wrath!" In front of the boss and the orator, Zhu Tian clenched his fists. When he released his fist, a gold coin that had been twisted into a twist fell to the ground.

Without waiting for any answer, he left a sentence and walked towards the door: "You have to remember - I know everything!"

Zhu Tian left, and the boss and the orator looked at each other.

The orator tried to pick up the gold coin that had fallen on the ground, but was stopped by the boss's scream: "Wait!" He took a blue silk scarf from his jacket pocket, crouched down, and carefully wrapped the gold coin that had been pinched into strips.

Slowly, he came up to the cardinal, carefully tucking the blue silk scarf containing the gold coin into the cardinal's robe.
