Du Xun had previously wanted to kill the other party, but now that he thought about it, he realized he was simply courting death.
At that moment, Du Xun felt that he had provoked someone with a terrifying background, and he immediately broke out in a cold sweat. It was a miracle that the other party didn't hold him accountable.
If it were him, he would have already ordered someone to take care of them.
He didn't believe that an ordinary person could casually spend trillions at an auction. Moreover, the other party had been so dismissive of his overseas Du family before, and they were accompanied by so many incredibly beautiful women. This was not something an ordinary person could possess.
Du Xun quickly stepped forward, caught up with Du Mei, and asked, "Cousin, that guy won't target me, will he?"
Du Xun was now extremely worried because he only then remembered what his father had told him before he left: if he offended someone that even their Du family dared not provoke, they would absolutely not protect him.
The thought that Zhou Yan was the kind of existence his father had spoken of terrified him.
Once he lost the backing of his family, he, Du Xun, would have nothing. Du Xun did not want to end up like that.
Du Mei looked at Du Xun and found that this scoundrel was truly useless in every way, especially in bed.
"Hmph! You know fear now." Du Mei snorted. Seeing the arrogant Du Xun actually showing fear, she said, "I've told you long ago that while the overseas Du family is a local power in the overseas, there are too many forces more powerful than the Du family outside."
"It's just that you have good luck to encounter such a low-key person. If the other party had held you accountable, even if our Du family knew about it, we absolutely wouldn't have helped you."
"Think about it, this was just a random auction, and that person could casually produce trillions of funds. How many people in our Du family do you think could make such a move?"
Du Xun also considered this. The stronger a person's power, the more liquid capital they had. A person who could casually produce trillions in liquid capital was simply not someone their overseas Du family could afford to offend.
Du Xun had also never seen anyone who could mobilize so much liquid capital, and he felt a deep sense of post-fear.
"Then, Cousin, what should I do now? Should I go and apologize?" Du Xun's mind raced, and he quickly said.
Du Mei was surprised to hear this!
Good heavens! This scoundrel actually knew how to apologize.
It was truly as if the sun had risen from the west.
"No, I think it's best for you to leave Shangyang City as soon as possible. It's best to never appear before that person again." Du Mei quickly advised.
"Okay, Cousin, I'll go back and pack my things now. However, before I leave, can we..." As he said this, Du Xun looked at Du Mei with a lecherous gaze again, and then whispered in her ear, "Before I leave, I want to say my final farewell."
Du Mei was speechless. She thought to herself, "With your mere ten-plus seconds, you have the nerve to say that!"
However, Du Mei thought carefully. Only after Du Xun left would it be easier for her to pursue Zhou Yan.
Someone like Zhou Yan, who was wealthy, handsome, and had a good family background, was the kind of person she should be pursuing. Therefore, Du Mei immediately said, "No need to go back. Find an inn, and let's make it quick!"
Du Xun was overjoyed to hear this. "Let's go!"
In the inn, Du Xun unleashed his dormant power this time, lasting for thirty-nine rounds before finally leaving with satisfaction.
Du Xun naively believed that in this aspect, no one else could compete.
No man on the Canglan Continent could last more than thirty rounds.
After finishing his "battle," Du Xun immediately called for his subordinates and left Shangyang City without delay, fearing he would encounter Zhou Yan again.
Zhou Yan, on the other hand, was completely unaware of all this.
He didn't even know that Du Xun had imagined him to be someone with such a powerful background.
...
In a luxurious hotel, four chamber of commerce representatives and the city lord were fawning over Zhou Yan, showering him with compliments and praising him to the skies.
However, Zhou Yan did not show any particular reaction. He remained calm and composed, which made the five men even more convinced that Zhou Yan was no ordinary person.
This was truly an outstanding young talent cultivated by a powerful force.
The group was very curious about Zhou Yan's identity. When someone finally asked what force he represented, Zhou Yan replied, "You're mistaken. I'm just an ordinary person. What kind of force do I have? That's simply not true."
Ordinary person?
The five men refused to believe it.
Could an ordinary person casually produce so much liquid capital?
Would an ordinary person dare to bid on every item at an auction?
Could an ordinary person possess so many rare materials?
We don't believe it!
Their intelligence would never allow them to believe Zhou Yan's words.
Unfortunately, Zhou Yan's words were actually true.
Zhou Yan: Is it my fault?
The more Zhou Yan insisted he was an ordinary person, the more it proved his origins were mysterious.
This made Zhou Yan feel a sense of smugness.
See, they don't believe it themselves. I haven't lied at all.
After several rounds of drinks, the five men began to discuss business matters.
They all expressed their desire to cooperate with Zhou Yan, and that they would do their best to help collect any quality materials Zhou Yan wanted.
Hearing this, Zhou Yan was naturally very pleased and stated that he also had a large quantity of materials to trade with them.
The five men were indeed very happy because Zhou Yan said he could trade as much as they wanted.
They were increasingly impressed by Zhou Yan's powerful influence. Cooperating with such a powerful force would bring them great benefits.
They could all improve their performance through Zhou Yan's influence, thus gaining importance within their headquarters.
This was a win-win cooperation. It benefited them, and it benefited Zhou Yan even more.
They agreed to conduct a batch of resource transactions the next day and then returned to prepare.
The five men were delighted to be able to trade so many resources back to their headquarters, which would surely make the higher-ups very happy.
Zhou Yan was also happy. Although many materials were not needed for the time being, they were extremely valuable and could not be bought elsewhere. When he needed them in the future, he wouldn't have to collect or purchase them.
The next day, both sides began the transaction, spending a full day to complete it.
Afterward, they invited Zhou Yan to dine again and personally dispatched thousands of soldiers to escort Zhou Yan ten kilometers outside the city. If Zhou Yan hadn't told them to turn back, they would have likely escorted him all the way back to his territory.
The matters on the Soul Continent finally concluded successfully.
The journey back was uneventful, and he safely returned to his territory.
This trip to the Soul Continent had been very rewarding, yielding a considerable amount of high-level resources.
