A moment later.
The staff arrived, but contrary to what the Divine Doctor and others had expected.
He replied, "Hello everyone, the chairman said that since not everyone has arrived, the auction... cannot begin yet."
Upon hearing this.
Not only did the Divine Doctor's expression freeze.
The other attendees could no longer contain themselves.
"Who's so important that they're making all our families wait for them?"
"Exactly! Can't they see my father is in critical condition! Start already!"
"Delaying the Divine Doctor Charity Association, hmph! Such audacity!"
"This Chairman Long Dingtian is getting bolder and bolder!"
"And this Jiang Family Master, couldn't even properly organize a charity auction."
Complaints echoed throughout.
The Divine Doctor's expression remained unchanged. He stood up, faced the complaining crowd, and said kindly, "Everyone, please remain calm, remain calm."
"Since someone wants us to wait, then let's wait."
"After all, we have plenty of time, don't we?"
After speaking, he sat back down, genuinely waiting with a smile on his face.
Seeing this, everyone exchanged glances.
Then they sighed in admiration.
As expected of the Divine Doctor, such a composed demeanor.
This is what a truly accomplished person looks like!
"The Divine Doctor lives up to his name, look at that magnanimity - ordinary people can't compare."
"Indeed, compared to him, the family making us all wait seems quite detestable."
"Exactly, just wait until I find out who it is, my Qi Family will make them pay!"
The Divine Doctor sat smiling in his seat.
Heh, this was the influence that came with the title of Divine Doctor.
He didn't need to say anything, and others... would naturally harbor resentment towards those who were delaying everyone's time.
However... who could these people be?
Even making Long Dingtian willing to offend him to such an extent...
Just as he was thinking.
Suddenly.
A respectful voice came from outside the auction hall.
"Miss Su has arrived—!!!"
Buzz—!
As this voice appeared.
Everyone's expressions froze.
Su... Miss Su?
Then.
"Miss Su has arrived—!"
"Miss Su has arrived—!"
"Miss Su has arrived—!"
The calls came closer and closer, penetrating from outside into the auction hall.
The next second.
Bang!
The doors were pushed open.
Swoosh!
A red carpet was rolled in from outside.
The antique city association's staff members rushed out from every corner and lined up on both sides of the aisle.
They shouted in unison: "Welcome Miss Su!!"
As the voices faded.
The entire venue fell silent.
Then in this quiet environment.
Tap! Tap!
Footsteps echoed.
Everyone in attendance looked over in confusion.
They saw.
Su Muwan, with a contemptuous gaze and arrogant expression, slowly walked in from outside.
Beside her, Qin Luo followed at a steady pace, smiling.
His eyes swept over the people in the first row of the venue, and the corners of his mouth curved slightly upward.
Not bad, everyone was here.
Shen Fei, Zhu Lan, and other black-clad followers were behind them.
A powerful aura spread throughout the entire venue.
Su Muwan's army stepped on the red carpet, advancing deliberately toward the first row of the venue.
As Su Muwan walked, she cast arrogant glances across the crowd.
Those caught in her gaze immediately trembled, then hurriedly looked away and lowered their heads, not daring to look again.
Their pupils shook!
Hiss!!
Wait!
Long Dingtian, you didn't tell us Su Muwan was coming!
Everyone became docile, as Su Muwan was the fearsome one who didn't even put the Dragon King Palace in her eyes.
Who would dare provoke her??
But.... this auction was organized by the Divine Doctor!
Offending the Divine Doctor was equivalent to offending all his connections!
The Divine Doctor had been saving lives around the world for years, with connections spanning the globe!
Even the Su family couldn't offend him carelessly!
Though Su Muwan's walk only took a minute or two, to everyone in the venue it felt like a century had passed.
Shen Fei and others stopped and stood guard along the aisle.
Su Muwan and Qin Luo, in this extremely quiet atmosphere, slowly walked to the first row of the venue.
There were two empty seats there.
Prepared specifically for Su Muwan and Qin Luo.
Su Muwan and Qin Luo slowly sat down, then... the former's thin lips parted, and a cold, arrogant voice slowly emerged: "Qin Luo."
"Yes, Miss Su."
"I heard...."
Su Muwan spoke with an indifferent expression, her voice reaching everyone's ears: "Some people were complaining about my late arrival, find out who they are."
As her words fell.
Buzz—!
An intimidating force and malice from Su Muwan instantly spread through everyone's hearts.
Hiss!
Everyone quickly lowered their heads and held their breath, not daring to make a sound.
This.... Jiang City tyrant!
Clearly knowing she was late, she was doing this deliberately!
Even the Divine Doctor was witnessing Su Muwan's domineering nature for the first time.
He seemed to understand why his disciple had suffered such a great loss.
However, the younger generation was still the younger generation.
Such temperament wouldn't last long.
So, he glanced at Jiang Family Master Jiang Hao beside him.
The latter understood immediately.
Then Jiang Hao stood up, looked at Su Muwan sitting in the same row, and with a disappointed expression, spoke in an elder's tone with a cold snort: "You must be Su Muwan from the Su family?"
"I remember your father was a man of decent cultivation and upbringing."
"But now, how did he raise a daughter like you?"
"The auction should have started more than ten minutes ago, and not only are you late, but you show no remorse."
"We organizers don't mind, our Divine Doctor doesn't mind either, but you're wasting everyone's time in this venue."
At this point, Jiang Hao shook his head slightly and sighed: "Su Muwan, you're the same age as my daughter, I thought you would be as excellent as her."
"But now I see..."
Before he could finish.
"Too noisy."
Su Muwan's calm voice slowly reached everyone's ears.
Jiang Hao was stunned, Jiang Xueqi was stunned, Wang Yong was stunned, Feng Yueke was stunned.
Everyone present was stunned.
What?
She actually said... too noisy?
Jiang Hao was the Jiang Family Master, and he was on equal footing with Su Muwan's father as a top family patriarch!
How dare she speak like this?
Jiang Hao's eyes widened, anger surging in his heart.
He clenched his fists, a junior...
How dare she speak to him like this?!
He immediately spoke, his voice becoming angry: "You truly have no resp—"
Before he could finish.
Slap!
"Ugh—!"
Qin Luo instantly appeared and backhandedly slapped him.
The voice abruptly stopped.
He said mockingly: "Are you blind or deaf??"
"When my Miss Su says you're too noisy, did you not see or not hear?"
"This slap is to wake up your brain! Understand now, trash!"
As the words fell.
Hiss!!
Everyone drew in a sharp breath.
They all looked at Qin Luo in disbelief.
He actually... slapped the Jiang Family Master??
Some family patriarchs who had been slapped similarly at the Lin family banquet involuntarily shuddered.
Wait, Su Muwan, why do you hit everyone?
Jiang Hao's head was buzzing, he tilted his head holding his face, his cheek burning with pain.
His pupils shook, his mind briefly went blank.
But the pain in his cheek and the gasps around him made him realize...
Wh...at....
I..... was slapped?
Jiang Xueqi's expression froze.
Wait, how could you even hit my father?
The Divine Doctor's expression also suddenly changed, then he looked incredulously at Qin Luo who had just slapped Jiang Hao.
What?
How did this follower suddenly start hitting people??
Such arrogance??
This is completely disregarding me as the organizer!
A mere follower... showing such disrespect to us organizers??
He immediately rebuked: "Arrogant!"
"You, a mere follower, dare to strike the Jiang Family Master?"
"Know that even if your Old Master Su were here, he would have to address me as Divine Doctor sir!"
Everyone in the venue held their breath at this sight.
Hiss! The Divine Doctor is angry!
This follower is definitely finished!
Jiang Xueqi also came to her senses, her eyes excited.
Could it be... someone would finally put these villains in their place!
At this point, the Divine Doctor slowly stood up and coldly said to Qin Luo, "Young man, before taking action, learn how to be a proper person first. If you kneel down and apologize to the Jiang Family Master, then perhaps I can forgive—"
"Shut your noise."
Slap!
"Ugh—!"
Before he could finish speaking.
Qin Luo backhanded another slap across his face. Looking at the Divine Doctor, who was now clutching his face with a twitching expression and had sat back down, he mockingly said, "Who do you think you are? What gives an old fool like you the right to speak here?"
As these words fell.
Wang Yong: !!
Jiang Xueqi: ??
Feng Yueke: ?!
Jiang Hao, holding his face: !!!!
The entire place fell silent.
Everyone's pupils dilated in shock.
One by one, they all began to question reality.
Wait? What did they just witness?
The Divine Doctor... was slapped by Su Muwan's man?!!!
What????
