"This matter is settled, I'll be taking my leave."
Slaying the Dark Church's Divine Guard and subduing Ouyang Baxia had gone surprisingly smoothly.
"Farewell, Hall Master!"
Ouyang Baxia bowed deeply, but by the time he recovered, Ye Xuan's figure was gone from the scene. He didn't even know how Ye Xuan had left.
"The Hall Master is so powerful!"
Ouyang Baxia swallowed, a knot in his throat. A realm beyond the peak of the God of War. What was the Hall Master's true strength?
"Damn, the first mission is to turn on my own father. This operation sounds pretty exciting."
On the other side, people from the Underworld King Hall hidden in the shadows also clicked their tongues. The Hall Master's might! The young master of the Black Heaven organization, a powerhouse at the God of War level, was subdued in an instant.
At this moment, the Hall Master's standing in their hearts soared meteorically.
...
"Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the mission to kill the Dark Church's Divine Guard and subdue Ouyang Baxia. You have received a tenfold rebate, capped at 120 billion R..."
Half of their purpose in coming this time was to view the actual ancient artifacts up for auction. The other half was for Ye Xuan. After all, they wanted to meet the new, incredibly noble Duke of Nickro City. It was said that this Duke had made outstanding contributions to Prince William's victory over Prince Poole.
However, upon seeing Ye Xuan's age, these individuals were all shocked. This person was at most in his early twenties.
Damn it!
A Duke in his early twenties was unheard of in their Eagle Country, let alone in any other nation. If this news spread, who knew what kind of sensational storm it would stir up.
"This, ah?"
"Of course."
Without much thought, Ye Xuan agreed. It was a mere word from him, yet Count Aaron and the others were overwhelmed with flattery.
Are you kidding?
To witness the Duke's treasure appraisal skills firsthand was an unparalleled honor for them. Even after returning, they could boast about it for at least half a year, or even longer.
Moreover, they were greatly anticipating it, as this Duke, around twenty years old, held too much mystery for them.
A twenty-year-old Duke. If that were to be said aloud, it wouldn't just be people, even ghosts wouldn't believe it.
However, what happened next stunned everyone, including Count Aaron and the various treasure appraisal masters.
