Javier stated, "How about giving me all ten places at once for one million low Qi stones!"
"Ssss…."
Everyone inhales sharply, hearing Javier's domineering words. This guy was just too damn overbearing!
'Which damn switch he just flip to turn into a completely different person!' Jason was indignant.
Aden on stage was also stunned hearing Javier's offer. 'Just who is he?' Sadly, no one can answer that question of his.
Before Aden could react, Javier speak again wearing an arrogant expression, "Trust me Beast Master these idiots can't win against me, because they didn't have the balls to do so. Hehe."
Javier disdainfully looked at those titled families in front rows. Now their faces were as dark as charcoals.
"See that? No one even dares to 'pep'. Trust me, this bunch is even afraid of that brat still wet behind his ears. What can they do to this lord? Heh, cowards." Javier sneered as he shakes his head in disappointment.
Another bout of silent exclaim begun, this guy either has a very grand background or he wasn't afraid of death in the least bit.
As for those titled families, they were boiling with insane anger!
Those hot-blooded youths' eyes were bloodshot. No one has dared to humiliate them in public like this before.
They all wanted to charge and chop that arrogant fool into million pieces, but their elders were holding them tightly.
Just as Javier said, they didn't dare to move a finger before confirming who this arrogant guy was. After all, the unknown is more dangerous and mysterious.
However, one person was not as circumspect as the other nobles.
"You bastard, who are you calling a brat??!" Victor was brutally looking at Javier.

He never has suffered this kind of disgrace in front of so many people and no one was here to control him except Skyler, who was also in a daze because of Javier's overbearing attitude.
But she quickly snapped out of her daze at hearing Victor's furious voice and quickly rebuke him, "Shut up and sit down!"
But Victor didn't back down a bit and keep eyeing Javier with killing intent.
"Boy, you have more balls than those old fossils. I'll give you that much. But just scram to the side when your elders are talking." Javier directly scolded Victor without pulling any punches.
'This guy is a disaster.' Jason's face was as if would cry at any moment.
Victor's eyes turn bloodshot hearing another insult and he was going to attack when he felt his consciousness slip away abruptly.
Skylar had to knock Victor out for his good because she could tell that guy was so carelessly mocking everyone here with no care about Aden's presence. No bluffer can bluff this confidently. He must have someone to rely on.
But her eyes were icy as she looked at Javier. She would never forget this humiliation to her brother.
"Tsk, Tsk, youngsters are fearless," Javier click his tongue with a nostalgic expression on his face as if he was an old ghost.
Everyone wanted to roll their eyes because this guy was doing the opposite of everything he just said and he was a youngster himself.
Aden was truly speechless as well as those three beauties on the stage. This was his first time encounter this kind of situation where he was completely blind.
Aden's view differed greatly from others because only one person can be so overbearing in his eyes and that was… 'Maybe he has someone at an influential position in one of two giants!'

The moment this thought surface, Aden's expression was solemn, and he didn't dare to take risks anymore until he investigates this domineering youth.
Because a person of an organization is only afraid of someone from the organization!
And Aden was the same. He didn't dare to take risks with his sly nature.
Aden was a person who can read people very well, and he even has a special skill that can sense fear because beasts fear other beings and it is the most important thing to control to successfully taming a beast.
That same rule also applies to humans. If a human is telling a lie or bluffing, he would show a vague sign of fear and that was exactly what Aden relies upon to judge the other party.
And this youth is so calm that he didn't even feel a trace of fear from him. After all, he was just a third qi gate realm cultivation. How could he escape Aden a qi river cultivator skill, right?
Aden nearly forgets that he was standing on the stage. The more he thinks the more he sinks in his thoughts, and the further he believes that Javier's background was not to be underestimated.
"Old Man, why are you still not speaking? I don't have all day here." Javier's impatient voice rang again.
This time, he didn't even call him Beast Master and directly call him an old man.
Everyone thought that this youth's gut was higher than the sky!
Aden snapped out of his daze and take another deep glance at the plain-looking youth but still find no trace of fear and only saw his arrogant mug.
"Ahem… Young Master, please forgive my manners." Aden's signature smile has returned as he apologized.
Everyone was dumbfounded, seeing Aden changing his tone and even apologizing to this young man. They had least expected this.
"Sigh… old age indeed." Javier nodded in understanding.
Aden's face twitched, but he didn't retort and said, "Young Master, since you are willing to pay one million for ten sets, then… there are yours!"
Javier grin arrogantly as shot a glance towards the old man who was standing guards and said, "Old Man, come here and take these qi stones or those dogs in the front row might fight with you for them."
That old man was also bewitched but since the Beast Master was treating this youth with such a curtsey, how could he dare to show any disrespect?
As for the dog comment, everyone knows he was referring to those titled families and commoners were holding back their laughter!

The boy who fell in love with a tree
This is a story about a boy who fell in love with a tree… A story about powerful people changing the rulebook to stack the odds and line their pockets… I aim to create a story that will transport us so we get a glimpse of what that boy felt. The first 4 Chapters might be classified as a prologue depending on how you look at it. The boy quickly grows and the story really starts when the System arrives on Earth. I’m trying to achieve a relatively slow power progression and guide what we learn at a pace following the people in the story. There will be fighting but It’s more focused on base building. The MC is not all-powerful and all-knowing but he has some significant advantages. I’m trying to create a universe that makes sense in its own context. Much of what you will find, are my own world views, in a magnified way, as to make it for interesting fiction. The story took a life of its own when I started to write and I’m really happy with it. Not all of the tags I have marked will immediately be applied. There is stuff planned for far in the future such as the Sci-fi tag. There might be some cursing and gore but it is not very often. -------------- English is not my primary language, so I ask everyone to be forgiving. If you see a glaring error I would appreciate a msg but it is not feasible to fix everything. And if the story offends you, I wish you happiness, reading what you enjoy. ------------- Img link: https://unsplash.com/photos/EwKXn5CapA4

All her hopes rest on the assumption that he in an unwitting dupe of the true enemy, but lurking at the back of her mind is the fear that he may be all too aware of the truth, that he may have sold out humanity for the promise of personal power. If this is true, then all that awaits her at the end of her journey through fear and danger is imprisonment and the life of a hostage to be used against her father, King Leothan. The Brigadier would help her if he could, but he and Malone, his former batman, are far away, each having their own missions to try and ensure the survival of human civilisation. Having completed his latest task, the Brigadier must race to join her, to assist and protect her, but will he reach her before she arrives at the palace of the enemy King? And will the Princess still have a country to be Princess of by the time she arrives there?
