Chapter 1542 - Feels Good Spending Others’ Money

The auction had been completely derailed.

The chaos left even Fairy Yao with a pounding headache.

The status of Shark Crown Prince, the pride of heaven of the deep-sea giant shark tribe, needed no introduction. Although the Sunny Day Chamber of Commerce wasn’t afraid of the deep-sea giant shark tribe, they weren’t foolish enough to provoke them without cause:

Chen Fan, a youth of unknown origins, dared to go against the Shark Crown Prince and even tried to rob him.

Having already spent two hundred thousand immortal stones, Chen Fan was clearly someone not to be taken lightly. On balance, the chamber, well aware of Shark Crown Prince’s ranked status, felt even more cautious around the enigmatic Chen Fan. What if his background outshone that of Shark Crown Prince?

“Hey, hey, little shark, don’t try to scare me. What if I faint and fall to the ground? We won’t be able to solve it with a measly hundred thousand immortal stones,” Chen Fan said, looking at the furious Shark Crown Prince with a chuckle.

The crowd rolled their eyes back.

Was he just a faker? Or did he really have a background more impressive than the Shark Crown Prince’s?

The crowd stirred: low voices rising in scattered threads of debate and doubt.

“Awesome, is he pretending to be a pig to devour a tiger?”

“Who knows? This guy looks unfamiliar, and someone this young is already a second-level Immortal Platform expert. He probably does have some background.”

“But... why does the way he speaks feel so much like a hooligan, so shameless?”

“No one says otherwise!”

“Look at how fearless he is. I dare to say that his identity is definitely extraordinary. I’m afraid Shark Crown Prince has kicked a steel plate this time.”

Chen Fan’s fearless attitude and his complete disregard for the Shark Crown Prince were definitely not an act. He truly didn’t care about his status.

Such a person was either a complete fool or had an enormous background.

And did Chen Fan look like a fool?

Suddenly, an elder in the ninth-level Immortal Platform realm appeared in the auction hall out of thin air.

“Shark Crown Prince, you’re indeed in the wrong. You violated our Sunny Day Chamber of Commerce’s rules, and you also frightened our distinguished guest. So, please compensate him for his mental damages as he said.”

“Impossible!” exclaimed Shark Crown Prince.

If he agreed, what would people think of him?

“Fine, since you destroyed our property, you have to pay up a hundred thousand immortal stones. Pay up!” The elder immediately followed up, his voice carrying an unquestionable tone.

“What? This bit of trash costs that much?!”

Shark Crown Prince almost vomited blood in frustration. How could a private chamber be more than a hundred immortal stones?

“That’s right. A hundred thousand immortal stones. What, are you doubting us, the Sunny Day Chamber of Commerce? Although you’re the crown prince of the deep-sea giant shark tribe, our rules must be upheld!”

The elder’s tone was firm, but he was secretly sending Shark Crown Prince a voice transmission.

“Shark Crown Prince, reason’s not on your side today. You’ve violated the chamber’s rules. If I don’t offer a satisfactory explanation, it’ll be hard for us to remain credible in the eyes of the general public. Please, don’t make things difficult for me. Since you don’t want to compensate the brat, I suggested you compensate the chamber, and we will compensate for his damages. That way, you won’t lose face. After the auction ends... what you do is your matter. Maybe he is just temporarily keeping your immortal stones safe.”

The elder secretly transmitted, clearly stating the interests involved, even encouraging the prince to take action against Chen Fan after the auction ended, as his actions this time had also angered them.

If it wasn’t in consideration of their reputation, the elder would have just ended things by smashing Chen Fan to death with a palm strike.

Shark Crown Prince’s expressions changed several times. In the end, he glared at Chen Fan fiercely and said, “Fine, I’ll compensate the Sunny Day Chamber of Commerce for their loss. Here are the immortal stones.”

If it were a small auction house, Shark Crown Prince would have flipped the tables long ago. While the Sunny Day Chamber of Commerce in Chaotic Demon Sea was only a branch, its headquarters was a large force ranked among the best in the Matrka Heavenly Domain, with Immortal Emperor behemoths in their ranks.

Although the shark tribe was a king-level force in the seas, compared to the chamber, they were insignificant.

The elder grabbed the storage ring containing immortal stones, nodded, and said to Chen Fan, “This young master, it is indeed our chamber’s oversight that you were frightened. So, we will compensate for your mental damages with these hundred thousand immortal stones. Please take it.”

With that, the elder tossed Shark Crown Prince’s storage ring at Chen Fan.

Naturally, Chen Fan understood the intricacies of this matter very well.

The elder had most likely come to an agreement with Shark Crown Prince in secret. He even guessed that the elder had most likely encouraged Shark Crown Prince to make a move against him after the auction was over.

However, Chen Fan didn’t mind it. Even if he couldn’t win against them, escaping would not be a problem.

With the Void Shuttle, even an Immortal King would fail to catch him, unless they froze space with an artifact as Xuan Gan did.

“Haha, the Sunny Day Chamber of Commerce is truly credible. I’m very satisfied,” Chen Fan said with a smile as he caught the storage ring.

Keeping it with him temporarily?

Not happening!

𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

No one could force Chen Fan to spit out something he had already devoured.

The disturbance was resolved temporarily, and the auction continued.

Fairy Yao recomposed herself and announced the continuation of the auction with a smile on her face.

“Alright! The auction shall continue!”

After Chen Fan’s disruption and Shark Crown Prince having bled a fortune, Chen Fan won the remnant map for eighty thousand immortal stones.

Chen Fan took out the immortal stones generously and clicked his tongue. “

Tsk tsk

, spending others’ money feels awesome.”

Everyone present was an expert in the path of martial arts. In such an environment, they could even hear a mosquito buzzing clearly.

So, the crowd rolled their eyes as soon as those words came out of Chen Fan’s mouth.

Meanwhile, Shark Crown Prince barely held himself back and stopped himself from blowing up the roof of his private cabin.

Damn it! Damned bastard! Just you wait, I’ll let you live a little longer. When the auction ends, I’ll tear you into pieces!

Shark Crown Prince’s eyes turned bloodshot, roaring inwardly as his killing intent surged. He instructed the person behind him, “Go keep an eye on him. Don’t let him run away!”

If this weren’t the Sunny Day Chamber of Commerce, he would have twisted Chen Fan’s head off by now and kicked it like a ball.

Several more rounds of auction passed. Fortunately, the situation was peaceful; no more incidents occurred.

Finally, the auction reached its final stages.

“I know that many here have come aiming for the herbal garden island in the inner sea. This time, our Sunny Day Chamber of Commerce has obtained ten keys, which we will auction off separately. Now, we’ll begin the auctioning of the first key!”
