Towards Eternity
Ch 437's. Arrest (I)
The figure of Gouwang Zie rose to his feet and then suddenly, he disappeared from his place.
A split second later, the Phoenix Tail Flower that was inside the glass box disappeared. The people inside the auction building were shocked not to play because of the disappearance of the flower.
The old man leading the auction looked panicked, and hurriedly called out to the guards guarding the outside of the room. Shortly more than 10 heavily armed men walked into the auction room.
"The Phoenix Tail Flower has been stolen!! Quickly find the thief!!! The leader would be furious if he heard of this happening in our Auction House!!!" exclaimed the old man at the 10 people who were none other than the guards working at the place.
"All right!!" answer them all quickly.
They knew exactly what would happen if the information regarding this theft was heard by their leader who was the owner of the Auction House in the underground black market of Hundan City.
Their deaths were already very clear if they did not manage to catch the Phoenix Tail Flower thief. So they quickly scattered to all corners of the auction building to find the perpetrators of the theft.
"Fucking thief!!! I guarantee you won't be able to escape this black market safely!!!!" The old man's roar echoed throughout the auction room.
The other hooded people who were still in the room also looked at each other. Their purpose following this auction was because the information regarding the whereabouts of the Phoenix Tail Flower, if they went home without bringing the flower, then their arrival would be in vain.
"You guys split up fast!! Quickly search for the thief, lest he escape!!! The chairman will be furious if we don't bring him the flowers!!!"
"Come on! We're looking for that guy!! If we find it then we no longer need to throw away the tens of thousands of gold coins for that flower!!"
"Go ahead you fuck!! Bring me that flower, quick!!! Don't laze!!!"
One by one the hooded men began to move in search of the person who had stolen the Phoenix Tail Flower. This was a golden opportunity for all of them since it could obtain the Phoenix Tail Flower for dozens of thousands of gold coins for free.
Of course only the first person to find the thief will get the flower. Therefore they must move quickly, so as not to be preceded by others.
The old man who led the auction broke out in a cold sweat watching the hooded men begin to look for the Phoenix Tail Flower thief. The two things he was afraid of had actually happened at this moment.
The first Phoenix Tail Flower had been successfully stolen by someone that no one had even seen it, and the second was that his guests who had followed the auction had previously moved in search of the thief.
If they get the thief and take the Phoenix Tail Flower that has been stolen, then he could not do anything if they immediately claimed to be the owner of the flower because the origin of the Phoenix Tail Flower was also from the theft on the Night of the First Emperor of the Northern Region. But even so, he must not let this go, or else their leader would get even more angry later, and he would definitely be put to death by him.
"Curtain! Those fucking bastards, I was really forced to tell that guy like him!"
Moving out of the auction room, the old man then walked quickly to one of the rooms located not far away where the auction was held earlier. He quickly opened the door of the room, and entered into it.
It looks like a minimalist workspace filled with piles of paper everywhere. In the corner of the room, there was another door, which the old man then walked towards. Opening the door, the stairs lead underground again.
Without hesitation, he went down the stairs, and came to a room like a room where a man who looked to be in his forties was sitting on a bed and reading a roll of paper in his hand.
"Hm? What was? Why are you here?" The man who was reading the paper scroll raised his head and looked at the old man who was currently all over his body moistened eh cold sweat.
"The Phoenix Tail Flower...."
"Why? What's with the Phoenix Tail Flower? Has anyone bought it yet? How many offers?" ask the man.
In an instant, the two men's eyes opened wide, and he immediately rose to his feet from the top of his bed.
He stepped closer to the old man and then strangled his neck, then raised his body high up.
"What do you mean?!?! The Phoenix Tail Flower has been stolen?! No kidding!!! I risked my life to get it, you bastard!!!"
BAM-CRACK!!!
The man hit the wall behind the old man, fracturing him and almost collapsing instantly. The old man swallowed his saliva and tried to catch his breath.
"Te-Relax.I know the flower is very valuable, therefore I have asked all the guards to pursue the culprit..."
"Quiet down?! You think I'm stupid?! If that Phoenix Tail Flower had been stolen, then the culprit was very confident of escaping this black market!!!"
Exasperatedly the man went up the stairs, and arrived at the room that the old man had previously entered. He walked out of the room, and continued walking until he reached the room where the auction had previously been held.
The man looked around him, his gaze stopping at the glass box that was used to store the Phoenix Tail Flower for a moment. Moving her legs, she approached the glass box and looked at each side.
After a minute of checking, he did not find the slightest damage to the glass case.
"There was no sign of any damage to this glass box, almost as much as the theft that occurred a few months ago on the North Black Market. Don't tell me that bastard did it." The man was busy muttering alone.
On top of the roof of the auction building, Gouwang Zie's figure appeared without his head covering and displayed his figure which was a young man who looked to be around in his late twenties. But it was clear that his true age was much older than that.
A faint smile formed at the corner of his lips as he stared at the Phoenix Tail Flower in his right hand which was emitting heat from him.
"Hehe, those fools. You will never be able to catch me, whether that be tomorrow or until anytime. I am the King of Thieves, Gouwang Zie. Whatever stuff I want will be mine, nothing can stop me" Gouwang Zie said before inserting the Phoenix Tail Flower into his storage ring.
"I agree, they are stupid. It could have let you steal and escape from that place without anyone realizing it at all."
From beside Gouwang Zie the figure of Pang Baicha spoke softly right near his ear.
Gouwang Zie was immediately shocked instead of playing, and immediately jumped away from Pang Baicha who turned out to be together with Jian Qiang, as well as the woman who became the leader of the members of the Thief Snake Group who attacked them at the inn.
Pang Baicha put on a wide smile looking at Gouwang Zie's figure, while Jian Qiang simply stared at him with his usual flat gaze.
"Boss!! I'm sorry boss!!! My subordinate told me your location was here!" The woman who was together with Pang Baicha and Jian Qiang exclaimed as she tried to free herself from the Qi rope belonging to Pang Baicha but her efforts yielded nothing.
Gouwang Zie frowned when he saw the woman who was a member of his group was together with Pang Baicha and Jian Qiang.
He had already gotten information that they were here, yet did not expect that he had just exited the auction building, but he already had to go head-to-head with them.
Honestly speaking, from the aura he felt emanating from Jian Qiang's body, Gouwang Zie could already see that it was impossible to escape from this place right now.
