The hall was deathly silent, and even Du Yameng, sitting beside Ye Ling, was stunned into silence.
She knew Ye Ling might not have taken Jiang Wenchun, or even the Jiang family, seriously, but she never expected Ye Ling to demand Jiang Wenchun kneel and bark like a dog!
However, after Du Yumeng understood Ye Ling's intentions, she gained a clearer understanding of Ye Ling as a person!
A ruthless man!
Once such words were spoken, whether Jiang Wenchun agreed or refused, his reputation and the reputation of Sky Auction House would be greatly affected, even suffering a devastating blow.
If Jiang Wenchun refused, the matter of Sky Auction House forcibly checking the black gold card member would not be resolved, and other guests would also harbor resentment.
If he agreed, it would be one thing if Ye Ling's account lacked sufficient funds, and Jiang Wenchun's previous actions could be explained. But if Ye Ling's account had sufficient funds...
Regardless of whether Jiang Wenchun knelt or not, Sky Auction House was ruined!
"Are you joking with me?"
Jiang Wenchun's face turned from green to purple. He naturally would not agree to Ye Ling's demand.
But now, he was completely cornered by Ye Ling, unable to advance or retreat. Everyone in the hall was staring at him, making him feel like he was being roasted by a raging fire!
"Since you're unwilling, why are you still standing here shamelessly?" Ye Ling said with a contemptuous smile. "Get lost."
"You!!!"
Jiang Wenchun was so angry his lungs were about to explode. No one in Jiang City had ever dared to speak to him like this!
With Ye Ling's skill, ordinary security guards couldn't drive him out. The martial artists his Jiang family kept couldn't be unleashed in this hall. He currently had no way to deal with Ye Ling!
Sensing the burning gazes from all around, Jiang Wenchun took a deep breath, trying hard to calm himself. He said to Ye Ling in a cold voice, "We conclude that you are here to disrupt the auction. If your account has sufficient funds, this is a mistake in our auction house's work. As compensation for you, I will step down as the chairman of the Jiang Corporation. What do you say?"
As soon as Jiang Wenchun said this, the influential figures and celebrities in the hall also nodded in agreement, thinking Jiang Wenchun's proposal was feasible.
Stepping down as chairman of the corporation meant Jiang Wenchun would lose a considerable amount of money, which could be considered an apology.
Although many influential figures felt that Jiang Wenchun's attempt to check the black gold card member's account was excessive, Jiang Wenchun had now shown enough sincerity, and it was barely acceptable.
Ye Ling smiled and shook his head, "Whether you step down as chairman has nothing to do with me. I only want you to kneel, kowtow, and bark like a dog."
"If you can't do this, then get lost and admit that this is your Sky Auction House's problem."
Seeing Ye Ling's unyielding attitude, the expressions of the influential figures became extremely interesting.
Ye Ling was going head-to-head with Jiang Wenchun!
"Who is this kid? Does he really have such strong backing to go against the Jiang family?"
"I haven't heard of anyone like this in Jiang City."
"He's with that young lady from the Du family, so his status should be extraordinary. Could he be a young master from another province?"
As Ye Ling and Jiang Wenchun confronted each other, the influential figures became increasingly curious about Ye Ling's identity, eagerly wanting to know if Ye Ling was bluffing or truly had background power.
The hall became more and more noisy, and the situation of the auction was on the verge of losing control. Jiang Wenchun realized that if he delayed any longer, the reputation of Sky Auction House would truly be ruined by him.
His face turned icy, and he gritted his teeth, "Fine! I agree! Hand over your card!"
Seeing Jiang Wenchun agree, the amusement in Ye Ling's eyes grew more intense. He took out the bank card engraved with the World Tree, which Tian Zhu had sent him.
"This!!!"
Seeing the bank card in Ye Ling's hand, Zhang Shaohan's body trembled violently, his hands shaking.
Jiang Wenchun saw Zhang Shaohan's expression and immediately had a bad premonition. He frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"
Zhang Shaohan thought he had misread. He took the bank card from Ye Ling with trembling hands. After clearly seeing the World Tree pattern on the surface of the bank card, he swallowed hard, his entire body covered in cold sweat!
"Mr. Jiang... This... this card..."
Zhang Shaohan couldn't even speak a complete sentence, his heart filled with extreme shock.
He had heard that World Union Bank had once issued ten unlimited bank cards, each with a World Tree pattern on the front.
Only ten people in the world possessed such bank cards, and the financial consortiums behind each person controlled the economic lifelines of several countries. They were true behemoths!
Compared to those who possessed inexhaustible wealth, the so-called influential figures and celebrities in their Jiang City were not even fit to carry their shoes.
Jiang Wenchun did not recognize the card, but seeing Zhang Shaohan's extremely unusual behavior, he became very agitated and urged, "What's wrong with this card? Hurry up and check it!"
"Yes... yes..."
Zhang Shaohan dared not believe it was true. He quickly went to get a POS machine to check. When he saw the displayed "unlimited" balance, he was completely stunned.
This is real...
Zhang Shaohan looked at Ye Ling, who was smiling, his legs feeling weak.
The young man they had been making things difficult for was a true dragon soaring in the sky!
"What are you still standing there for?" Jiang Wenchun saw Zhang Shaohan frozen in place and roughly snatched the POS machine, personally checking the balance.
When he saw the "infinite" symbol he had never seen on this POS machine before, his mind buzzed, and he was instantly stunned!
Jiang Wenchun couldn't believe it and asked Zhang Shaohan, "Zhang Shaohan... is this machine broken?"
Ye Ling said with a light smile, "Whether it's broken or not, you'll know if you try to swipe it for twelve hundred million."
Upon his return, Ye Ling had dispatched his divine soldiers to gather various major powers in the world.
The financial consortiums that Tian Zhu had recognized and controlled must be the world's top financial consortiums. Ye Ling knew what Jiang Wenchun and the others were seeing without even thinking.
Jiang Wenchun was also sweating at this moment. He said to Zhang Shaohan, "Try transferring the money!"
"Okay..."
Ye Ling entered the password, and Zhang Shaohan, with trembling hands, transferred twelve hundred million to Sky Auction House's account, as if it were just pocket money from this card!
Seeing the successful transfer message, Jiang Wenchun's body trembled violently, unable to accept this reality.
Although not many of the surrounding influential figures recognized the World Tree bank card, they could tell from Jiang Wenchun's and Zhang Shaohan's expressions...
Ye Ling had won.
Ye Ling retracted his card under Jiang Wenchun's stunned gaze and looked at Jiang Wenchun, smiling, "The money has been paid. Should you be kneeling now?"
Jiang Wenchun reacted and looked at Ye Ling, saying sternly, "Be merciful when you can be merciful. Don't go too far!"
Even if he ruined the reputation of Sky Auction House, he would never kneel and bark like a dog!
"You're in no position to say that?"
Ye Ling sneered and kicked Jiang Wenchun's calf, forcing him to his knees. Then, Ye Ling slapped him across the face, knocking out half of his teeth.
Blood splattered!
Jiang Wenchun was stunned by the blow.
