Really Give You Half
Xiao Yan saw Lei Le looking at him and spread his hands helplessly.
┓(`)┏
"I'm not some heinous person. Ya Fei and I both warned you, but unfortunately, you were horny and lost your ability to think."
Of course, Xiao Yan didn't think about saving him either. This kind of foul-mouthed person is really hateful.
"A... A Dou Huang powerhouse?!" The cold air in his body caused Lei Ou's hair to freeze with thin ice, and his lips trembled.
Although he was only a *Dou Ling, he wouldn't be frozen in his limbs and nailed to the wall without even seeing the opponent's move, even if he faced a Dou Wang*.
Staring in horror at Hai Bo Dong standing in front of him, Lei Ou knew in his heart that only a Dou Huang powerhouse could do this.
Hearing these words, everyone except Xiao Yan showed surprise. This inconspicuous old man in cloth clothes was actually a Dou Huang powerhouse! "Xiao Yan, you are really... more and more surprising. You actually know such a super powerhouse." Ya Fei's beautiful eyes looked at Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan's cultivation talent and alchemy in public were shocking enough to her at the time, and Xiao Yan was only sixteen years old at that time.
But now, after only two years of not seeing each other, he has come into contact with the Dou Huang level.
Xiao Yan saw the surprised look in Ya Fei's eyes and asked with a smile, "By the way, who is Mittel Tengshan?"
"He is the Great Elder of our family, the current patriarch, and one of the top ten powerhouses in the Gama Empire. He is a high-level *Dou Wang*," Ya Fei introduced.
"Oh, a high-level *Dou Wang." Xiao Yan was very calm, not forgetting to casually pick a grape from the table and throw it into his mouth to chew. It seemed that a high-level Dou Wang* was not as important as an edible grape in Xiao Yan's heart!
Before long, hearing that their family's elder was nailed to the wall and had attracted a Dou Huang powerhouse, many elders of the entire family came one after another, even fully armed. Soon Mittel Tengshan also arrived at the auction house.
Mittel Tengshan, dressed in a gorgeous robe, was very excited when he saw Hai Bo Dong, and even had tears in his eyes. He looked like an old man with tears streaming down his face.
Some of the older generation who had worked with Mittel Tengshan to build the family also recognized Hai Bo Dong, looking apprehensive.
"Hai Lao, I didn't expect to see you today. After you went to the Snake-People Empire and didn't return, I used almost all my strength, but I couldn't find any trace of you," Mittel Tengshan said excitedly.
Seeing Mittel Tengshan, Hai Bo Dong's frost-like face melted a little, and he took a small sip of the hot tea that Ya Fei poured on the table.
Seeing Mittel Tengshan and a group of founding elders in this state, Ya Fei also remembered a past event of the family.
The Mittel Family naturally couldn't have been the largest chamber of commerce in the Gama Empire from the beginning. The Mittel Family was once just a commercial family in a small town.
It was only because Mittel Tengshan met Hai Bo Dong, who had not yet become a Dou Huang, when he was young. Later, the Gama Empire's regime changed, and the domestic forces were reshuffled.
Under the protection of Hai Bo Dong, Mittel Tengshan expanded and annexed various chambers of commerce on a large scale, and finally established the largest commercial empire in the country. Hai Bo Dong was also regarded as the Supreme Elder by the Mittel Family, and was considered the guardian of the family.
"Something happened back then, so I lived in seclusion for so many years, but fortunately, it has been resolved now. After so many years, the young man who clamored to become the richest man in the empire has become a *Dou Wang*," Hai Bo Dong said lightly.
In the hall, there were also many outstanding young people from the family. These fresh blood of the Mittel Family were all stunned when they saw the Great Elder, who was usually unsmiling and extremely strict with people, actually showing such a respectful and excited smile. They were all guessing Hai Bo Dong's identity in their hearts.
After all, more than twenty years had passed, time had passed, the plantain had turned green and the cherries had turned red, so it was normal not to recognize Hai Bo Dong.
Some people also looked at Xiao Yan, because apart from Hai Bo Dong, even Mittel Tengshan did not sit down, only Xiao Yan, calmly sitting aside drinking tea and eating snacks, looking very leisurely, which was out of tune with the atmosphere in the hall.
After the atmosphere was silent for a while, Mittel Tengshan waved his hand, knocked off the ice pillars on Lei Ou's body, and said in a deep voice: "For offending Hai Lao, you should have been expelled from the family directly, but considering that you have contributed to the family, you will be demoted from the position of elder and assigned to manage the branch in the border city. You are not allowed to return to headquarters within three years!"
Hearing this, Lei Ou's face was not angry, but full of gratitude: "Thank you, Great Elder, thank you, Hai Lao, for not killing me."
Xiao Yan and Hai Bo Dong didn't say anything. They also knew that it was impossible to kill people like that. If an elder was killed casually, the entire family might be cracked, and everyone would be in danger.
After all the matters were resolved, Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows at Hai Bo Dong. Some things should be said.
"The one sitting next to me is Xiao Yan. He is an excellent Alchemist. Because Xiao Yan helped me a lot, I promised to transfer half of the Mittel Auction House to Xiao Yan." Hai Bo Dong's tone was indifferent, but the words he said were like thunder, directly blasting everyone present into a daze.
Give away half!!! Half of the entire Mittel Auction House!!!!
The Mittel Family's property is naturally not only the auction house, but the auction house accounts for more than 80% of the family's income!! Without half of the income, the entire Mittel Family would directly collapse!!
"Hai Lao, this is absolutely impossible!" Not only Mittel Tengshan hurriedly stopped him, but even other elders, and even Lei Ou, ran out to persuade him.
With a bang, a violent chill instantly descended, freezing everyone into a shiver, and taking back all the words on their lips.
"I have decided on this matter, and you must not object. Moreover, Xiao Yan is not directly taking half of the auction house. He does not care about all the auction house's revenue and management, but only needs us to provide him with the medicinal materials needed for alchemy, and to find medicinal materials for him." Hai Bo Dong said with cold eyes and an unquestionable tone.
Even if Hai Bo Dong said this, everyone felt a pain in their flesh. Providing medicinal materials unconditionally! These medicinal materials are also expensive and cheap, just like the several medicinal materials just now, it cost more than one million gold coins.
The main thing is, you don't give them the medicinal pills you refine! Seeing Xiao Yan calmly listening and drinking flower tea, Hai Bo Dong showed a meaningful smile and said lightly: "You are called Ya Fei, right."
Ya Fei hurriedly walked to Hai Bo Dong and said respectfully, "Yes, Hai Lao."
"Xiao Yan needs the auction house to provide him with the medicinal materials he needs, and also promised that if something happens to the family, he will help. I am busy with my old age, traveling around the world, in order to facilitate communication with Xiao Yan about the auction house, I plan to betroth you to Xiao Yan, are you willing?"
Pfft pfft pfft! Xiao Yan spat a mouthful of flower tea directly onto Hai Bo Dong's old face.
Even he was shocked by this, and he quickly retorted, "Hai Bo Dong! We didn't say that back then!"
