I DO NOT OWN BEN 10 AND MARVEL
Chapter 11: Face with Devil
Seeing that Chu Minhui and Aryan's conversation was going nowhere, Jiang Churan furrowed her brows and said, "Chu Minhui, we are at an auction reception, if you want to blow off some steam, I suggest you do it somewhere else, and Fei-Fei is not going with you."
"Hehe" Chu Minhui didn't even spare Jiang Churan a glance. He closed in and gave Aryan a hot glare.
"Kiddo, you are the first person who dares to challenge me, and you will be the last as well."
Aryan smiled. Even as he was going to utter a reply, an imposing middle-aged man walked over to them and asked hotly, "What's the meaning of this? Who are you, and how dare you stir trouble at our event?"
"Shit, Manager Zhu is here; someone is going to get hurt." An older teenager who recognized the middle-aged man murmured.
Zhang Yumeng sneered and said, "I hope he kicks both Chu Minhui and Aryan out of here; I don't like either of them."
"Manager Zhu, My name is Chu Minhui."
Chu Minhui took a step back and looked at Aryan. "I suspect that this man has sneaked into the reception without an invitation. I want you to kick him out right now."
Manager Zhu paused for a second and realized that it was Chu Minhui who he was talking to. He changed his harsh tone into that of a placating one, "Yes, Young Master Chu."
He then turned around to Aryan and then said, "Sir, please show me your invitation."
Xu Rongfei piped up indignantly, "Why does he have to show his invitation? Why don't you check Chu Minhui's invitation?"
Manager Zhu was unfazed by the question. He said calmly, "Because I know Young Master Chu is a good friend of my boss."
"But I can't remember who this young gentleman over here is even though I have written all the invitations by myself. May I ask who you are? "
"His name is Aryan, and he is from Dildar Nagar County." Chu Minhui snorted. "I really don't think that he is on your invitation list."
As soon as Chu Minhui fished his words, Xu Rongfei's mind raced.
She had been wondering the same question. How did Aryan get into the auction even if he didn't have any connections in the city? Even she almost didn't make it if not for Zhang Yumeng. Only those who owned tens of millions of assets would have received an invitation.
"I don't think he has one. He must have snuck in." An onlooker jeered at Aryan.
"I bet you are right! Look at all the garbage that he is wearing. I can't believe that they let him in." Another one took a jab at Aryan.
"He is in knee deep trouble! The owner of the Fang Sheng International Group was not someone he could mess with. Plus he is on Chu Minhui's bad terms too. He is as dead as a doornail." Someone heaved a sigh.
"Sir, please show me your invitation, or else I will have to call the security." Manager Zhu's bleak face was as hard as a rock, and his voice was final.
"I don't have an invitation." Aryan paused for a second and then confessed.
A swell of surprise rose in the hall.
"I told you so!" An arrogant smile appeared on Chu Minhui's face. He looked down on Aryan like he would towards a defenseless insect under the tip of his toe.
"How did you get in without an invitation?"
Manager Zhu was shocked by the answer. He knotted his brows and looked at Aryan suspiciously as if he was a thief. If his supervisor knew that someone had snuck into such a high profile venue, he would be blamed for not doing his job right.
Already, he felt cold sweat slide down in between his shoulder blades. Fortunately, he had intervened before the big wigs in the room caught wind of it.
"Awesome! Now Aryan is dead!" The development sent Chang Wen reveling in her mind. Revenge could not have been any sweeter.
Ji Xingyu shook his head and said, "Man, why do you get yourself into shit like this. They are out of your league man; you should have stayed out of it. Otherwise, you will make yourself a laughingstock."
Even Si Yinxia was disappointed to find out that the rival he had cared so much about couldn't even make it past the entrance of the event without cheating. He lamented the fact that he had cared so much about someone who was so worthless.
A hint of disappointment flashed across Jiang Churan's face.
Shocked by the turn of the event, Xu Rongfei stomped the floor anxiously as she pointed a finger at Aryan. "Brother Aryan, how could you— "
"I am not done yet." Aryan cut her short.
"I don't have an invitation, but the person who invited me does. Just check your guest book, and we can clear this out."
"You are invited to come here?" General Zhu murmured doubtfully. "Only the biggest bosses had the privilege to invite others, such as our boss and his son."
"My boss has only one son, are you sure he invited you?"
Aryan was at a loss for a second. He didn't recall Wei Ziqin mentioning that she was the owner of the Fang Sheng International Group. Manger Zhu had said clearly that his boss had a son, not a daughter.
Seeing Aryan had kept his silence, Manager Zhu became hesitant to take any action.
Finally, he decided to ask someone to check the guest book like the boy had suggested, thinking it was better to be safe than sorry.
Suddenly, another voice came out from behind him.
"Although I am not sure if anyone invited him, I had seen this boy just a few weeks ago, and he was working at a bar as a Fruit Boy."
The crowd looked toward the speaker, and they saw a gorgeous girl wearing a painted face and a dazzling dress.
"How could a young master of the Fang Sheng International Group be friends with a Fruit Boy?"
The crowd boiled over as soon as the girl finished her words.
Most people had thought that Aryan was just a foolish boy got caught for sneaking into somewhere he didn't belong, but no one had expected that there was so much more than what met the eyes.
"The owner of the Fang Sheng International Group and his son were both influential people in the city; they would never waste their time befriending a laborer, much less inviting him to their event."
"His claims are so blown out of proportion that even a blind man would know he was lying."
"What a shame that Xu Rongfei would fall for someone like him."
By then, everyone looked at Aryan with contempt and disdain.
If Aryan would have admitted that he had snuck into the event just to see his lover, people might have more sympathy for him. However, his poor lies had made people question his integrity, and by then, no one was on his side.
Aryan didn't mind the accusations, but he looked at the girl who spoke up.
"That is Lou Xiaoxiao… So the person who is behind all of this should be…" Aryan calculated his situation in his mind.
Manager Zhu asked the girl in a serious tone, "Young lady, are you telling me the truth?"
"I can vouch for her." Another voice spoke up.
The speaker managed to give Jiang Churan an apologetic smile before he continued, "I had met Mr. Aryan in the bar where he worked. But who knows, maybe he has some connection that we are not aware of. I suggest Mr. Zhu check the guest book just in case. But yes, the young lady told the truth." Li Yichen said.
"The person behind all of this is Li Yichen!" Realization finally dawned upon Aryan.
Jiang Churan furrowed her brows as she wondered if Aryan had —unbeknown to her—offended Li Yichen. However, Jiang Churan conceded that Li Yichen didn't need a "casus belli" in this case since it was Aryan that had lied from the beginning.
She looked at Aryan and then heaved a sigh of resignation.
"Is this all you got? You sounded so ambitious while we last spoke at the bar, but it seemed that was just empty talk. I was right about you after all." Jiang Churan was very disappointed with Aryan.
"Since Young Master Li had put it this way, I don't think there is any need to check the guest book any longer." Manager Zhu smiled at Li Yicheng.
Li Yichen was the most influential young man in the city. If he had vouched for the girl, Manager Zhu was in no place to doubt him.
General Zhu didn't even turn around to look at Aryan when he gave the order:
"Security! Remove this young man out of this establishment."
"How dare you sneak into our private property, you will regret this!"
Everyone finally started to feel a shred of sympathy for the young boy.
Even if someone wanted to speak up for him, they would have to deal with the combined wrath of Chu Minhui, Li Yichen, and the Fang Sheng International Group. And that would make even the most powerful man in the room think twice of their actions.
Although Chang Wen had kept her silence, her face lit up with satisfaction.
Lou Xiaoxiao snorted lightly as he looked at Xu Rongfei who was already on the verge of breaking down into tears.
Si Yinxia shook his head; he knew that no one would be able to save Aryan tonight.
Li Yichen didn't even grace Aryan with a glance. He looked away and took a sip of the red wine from his glass.
It was a simple if not lazy move from him, and it was enough to destroy Aryan's life once and for all.
All the friends of Xu Rongfei, such as Zhang Yumeng and Han Yun shook their heads in dismay. They thought maybe this was for the best, the relationship between Xu Rongfei and the new-boy would never lead to anywhere anyways.
Xu Rongfei was the only person who pleaded with Manager Zhu not to kick Aryan out. However, her effort yielded no result; Manager Zhu turned on the radio and called for the security.
Chu Minhui stood proudly and sneered at Aryan: "Hey, kiddo, I told you so!"
"You have messed with the wrong guy, man! I told you I would get you kicked out of here! What can you do now, huh? Are you gonna cry?"
Someone shouted behind Chu Minhui, "Kick him out!"
Aryan stood still and didn't move. No one knew what he was thinking at this critical moment.
However, even as Chu Minhui, Ji Xingyu, and Lou Xiaoxiao were convinced that they had avenged their defeat, they then heard an icy voice rise behind the crowd:
"Don't touch him!"
Everyone looked towards the voice, and they saw a beautiful girl with a cold and aloof face walking toward the commotion. The crowd split into two halves as people made way for the girl.
The girl was in a white Qipao and a pair of stiletto heels. She looked to be one meter and seventy-eight centimeters or above. A sense of pride and dominance emanated from her wild and gleaming eyes, making many less confident men and women lower their heads. It was as if the girl was a queen from a world of ice.
"Who is she? How dare she speak up for Aryan?" One of the onlookers asked with disdain.
Those who had already recognized the girl were shocked by the onlooker's daring question. One of them hurried to cover the onlooker's mouth and said, "Are you crazy? That's the princess of the Wei Family."
"Princess of the Wei Family?" The onlooker murmured, and as realization finally dawned upon him, his face turned paler than a piece of parchment paper.
She was Wei Ziqin.
"My Lady?"
Manager Zhou felt a strong nagging sensation of impending doom the moment he saw Wei Ziqin.
He managed a smile from his overwrought face and said, "Welcome, welcome! why didn't you tell us ahead of time that you would be here?"
"Buzz off; I am not your lady. I want nothing to do with you and your boss." Wei Ziqin snorted. She was well known for her cold and aloof character and rarely did she show her emotions on her face. However, anger was written all over her attractive face right now, making it look like a piece of frosted rock in the middle of a frigid winter.
"Mr. Aryan is my guest; why are you doing this to him?"
Manager Zhu suddenly shriveled a little after hearing Wei Ziqin's words. A curdled smile hung on his face.
Was this kid a guest of Miss Wei?
It's impossible! So powerful was Miss Wei that even Young Sir had to tread carefully and talk politely while he was with her. How could she be a friend with this… bum?
He hurried to improvise an excuse for himself. "I didn't know he was invited by you. Otherwise, I wouldn't dare raise my voice at him."
Wei Ziqin's cold face didn't warm up the slightest after hearing the manager's excuse. She turned to Aryan and smiled apologetically.
"I am sorry, Mr. Aryan. I am late.
"I apologize for the ill-treatment. I will make sure that these servants learn their lessons."
Even after her apology, the anger on her face didn't recede completely.
Aryan was not just an ordinary man; he was a Martial Arts Master who was on the same level as Ye Nantian and Mr. Wu. Even her grandfather wanted to get on his good side. Therefore, Manager Zhou had committed a significant sin by trying to kick the boy out of the event. Fortunately, she had arrived just in time before everything was too late. She wagered that if master Chen left the venue in a fit of anger, all those efforts that the elderly man had put into cozying up to the master would be all but wasted. Who in their right mind would offend a Martial Arts Grand Master?
Aryan remained calm, but his eyes were filled with anger.
"No big deal, just a bunch of clowns."
He gave Manager Zhu a sidelong glance and then said, "Manager Zhu seemed to dislike me a lot. I told him that I was invited, but he just wouldn't listen."
Manager Zhu's heart sank after he heard Aryan's castigating words
He still managed to maintain a smile on his face as he pleaded, "Miss Wei, please, I can explain."
"Save your breath."
"I will inform your boss of everything that has happened here, and I will see to it that he fires you." Wei Ziqin said lightly. Manager Zhu thought that he was going to faint.
He looked towards Chu Minhui imploringly, hoping the Young Master Chu, the real instigator of this mishap would help this cannon fodder.
However, little did he know that Chu Minhui was too scared of getting in the way of Miss Wei to say anything.
He was shocked the moment he saw Wei Ziqin; when the princess of the Wei Family apologized to Aryan, he couldn't even believe his ears.
She was Wei Ziqin! The granddaughter of the elderly Man Wei and the daughter of Wei Changgeng!
Even his father dare not defy Wei Ziqin, much less Chu Minhui himself.
Although their families were equally wealthy in the Mahanagar City, Chu Family only dealt with business locally, while the Wei Family could even exert influence on all other metropolia in China. Plus, the Wei Family's roots ran deep in Mahanagar City, so no one in the city was able to challenge their position.
However, seeing Manager Zhu's desperation, Chu Minhui decided to give it a try.
"Sister Ziqin."
Wei Ziqin turned around and saw Chu Minhui. She asked coldly, "What's up? Is there anything you want to tell me? Save it. I know what you want to say!"
Ziqin's refute lit up the anger in Chu Minhui; he protested, "Well, this ass hole had stolen my girlfriend and — "
"Shut up!" Wei Ziqin shouted at the boy.
She looked at Chu Minhui resentfully; she had expected much better from him.
"I thought that after Uncle Chu had sent you into the training camp, you would have shed your delinquency and grew up, but it seems that it was just wishful thinking! You are even worse than before!"
"If you could have forced someone as easy going as Mr. Aryan into a corner, I can't imagine how you interact with other people."
"I will talk to Uncle Chu about what happened tonight, and you should reflect on it too."
Without even sparing Chu Minhui a glance, she turned around toward Aryan and said, "Mr. Aryan, the auction is about to start. Why don't you follow me to the pre-show exhibition to go over the items? "
"You all thinks, me as a clown. Before someone can order me to get out, then you show some of your powers to mediate me, it looks like I am really a clown." Aryan laughed that he looked at Wei Ziqin.
Wei Ziqin was shocked after hearing his word, she didn't know what to answer, "No Mr. Aryan, you are not a clown, please tell me what punishment you want to give them," She asked to satisfy him.
"I don't require you to give the punishment, I just required that, whoever put fingers on me, they are not allowed to leave this hall," Aryan gives a maniac laugh, he still wants to calmly solve all of this, but it looks sometimes needs to give some punishment.
"As your wish Mr. Aryan," Wei Ziqin agreed, as she gave commands to someone to close the gate. Everyone was silent; they didn't know what was going to happen.
Manager Zhu didn't know what was going to happen, "Princess Wei, please forgive me, don't tell the Boss," He shouted.
Aryan moves towards the Manager Zhu, "You are really a funny person, you think that getting fired from the job is a big problem. And till now only asked for Wei Ziqin to forgive, my value is not a little bit in your eyes, really," He asked with a silence.
Realization struck down on Manager Zhu, "Not Mr. Aryan, your value is not zero, please forgive me," Manager Zhu asked for forgiveness.
"Yes, now you asked the right person for forgiveness," Aryan nodded, seeing Aryan reply Manager Zhu sigh a relief, but it suddenly cut down.
"But it was too late," Aryan said, and before anyone could understand what happened, Manager Zhu was blasted in blood, the party turned into a bloodbath, everyone was silent before they started screaming.
Every big shot now struck with a realization that they have poked the wrong person. Wei Ziqin is also shocked, she thought he would just break one or two bones, but he killed him, she never thought about it.
"SHUT UP," Aryan shouted, causing everyone to become silent. Then he shot Chu Minhui a glance and smiled before walking towards him.
"Sister Ziqin, save me" Chu Minhui shouted before running behind Wei Ziqin.
Wei Ziqin hurried a reply, "Chu Minhui is a foolish boy, but I have watched him grow up, so I want to beg you to spare him just for once. Please."
"Oh?" Aryan stopped and turned to regard Wei Ziqin with a half smile.
Aryan thought for some seconds, "Ok, I leave him alive, but some punishment needs to be delivered," He agreed.
"What punishment Mr. Aryan?" She asked.
"Ask him to break one hands, or I will break his both hands," Aryan gave the option. Wei Ziqin was shocked by hearing the option.
"Sister, please help me, I don't want to lose my hand," Chu Minhui pleaded.
"If you don't want to lose your hand, you can lose both of your hands, and this is my last mercy. And this is mercy to everyone who has just now poked in my matters, I have remembered everyone, so don't try to escape. In five minutes, I want to see everyone's hands broken. After the time is over, whose hands have not broken, I will break their hands," Aryan said as he looked towards the people who pointed fingers at him.
"Your time starts now," Aryan said, and sit down looking towards a watch.
Seeing the situation, everyone knows Aryan will do as he says, and they start breaking their own hands. Now they regret why they have poked this demon, for licking the Chu Minhui.
Chu Minhui gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, trying to suppress the fire burning inside of his belly. But in last he also broke his hand.
Seeing everyone getting punished, Aryan turned towards Wei Ziqin, "Clear the situation here, and let's go for the main things," He tells her. Wei Ziqin was really shaken from the inside, she nodded and with Aryan, she went towards the reception hall.
"Asshole!" Chu Minhui muttered, when the two were gone before he allowed himself to be seized by anger. He wrenched a half-empty wine glass on the table and smashed it on the floor.
"Mr. Chu, please watch your actions." Another manager who was called to deal with the emergency said to Chu Minghui with a scowl.
Chu Minhui looked around and realized everyone was in a grim situation. He stormed out of the room followed by some of the people going towards the hospital.
"How is it possible for him to know Wei Ziqin? And how can he kill someone?"
Li Yichen was shocked as soon as he saw Wei Ziqin. But become more shocked seeing how easily Aryan killed a human being. Even his hands were not spared, he was also going towards the hospital.
"Councilor Li, who is Wei Ziqin?" Mo Hill asked curiously.
Despite her influence, Wei Ziqin had always been very lowkey in public. Very rarely did she show up at public events, and therefore not a lot of people had even heard of her name. She wouldn't have attended the auction if not for Aryan.
"Elderly Man Wei's granddaughter. Wei Zipin's sister." Li Yichen said as his lips twitched a little.
"WHO?" Mo Hill gasped. Even Lou Xiaoxiao was shocked by the revelation.
Compared to Wei Ziqin, Wei Zipin was a much more well-known name.
His dad was the youngest son of the Wei Family. People like Mo Hill would never even have the chance of meeting with someone as powerful as Wei Zipin.
Since Wei Ziqin was Wei Zipin's sister, they wagered that Wei Ziqin was at least as influential as her Uncle.
"I remember that the Old Man Wei's youngest son is the least successful. Who is Wei Ziqin's father? The oldest son or the second one?
"She is the Daughter of Wei Changgeng." Li Yichen said.
"Mr Li Yichen, why do you get in the matter of the devil, he was a real devil, he didn't show a little bit of mercy."
Lou Xiaoxiao said regretfully, while she was in so much pain, she couldn't bear it, she just wanted to fly towards the hospital. The car speed is now looking slow.
Who would have thought that a country boy was a devil in the face of humans?
Li Yichen's face was placid, but he cursed at Aryan in his heart.
He had thought that the new-boy was just a worm that could be easily squashed by him, but it seemed that he had to now pray every time, before he got out his house, to not meet Aryan in his way.
Meanwhile, Zhang Yumeng and other girls watched the development unfold with disbelief.
They watched as Aryan turned the situation around after being forced to his last leg.
"Thank god, we didn't say anything, or this devil has eaten us?"
"No kidding! Didn't someone just say that he worked at a bar? And who is the girl?"
These girls were not well connected and therefore they might have never heard of Wei Ziqin's name much less seeing her in person.
Han Yun was the only one among those girls who had recognized Aryan's rescuer
"That's Miss Wei from the Wei Family."
Everyone was so shocked by the revelation that their faces paled.
The Wei Family of the North Bank was the most prominent household in the City if not in China. As the granddaughter of the family, Wei Ziqin had an unimaginable amount of resources at her command and family influences at her disposal. She must have lived a life that most girls didn't even dare dream of.
By then, the girls no longer lamented Xu Rongfei's choice. Instead, they marveled at her ability to spot the real gold.
Everything happened so quickly that Xu Rongfei was still disheveled. But after a while, she finally gathered herself.
Jiang Churan came up to her, tugged her hand and said, "He is gone; why are you still standing here?"
Despite Jiang Churan's even voice, her heart was filled with contradicting emotions.
"Looks like I need to follow his every command from now on." Jiang Churan thought to herself and then sighed lightly.
Si Yinxia and the others could not believe what they had just seen.
When Chang Wen and the others heard the real identity Wei Ziqin, their faces turned pale out of shock. But seeing the Manager Zhu just died in front of them, their faces turned grim from pale.
Chang Wen's uncle was a manager of the Fang Sheng International Group, a similar level to Manager Zhu. Seeing how easily the devil was able to kill Manager Zhu, Chang Wen wagered that it would be easy for Aryan to seek revenge by simply killing her.
"Who would think that he is so ruthless?" Ji Xingyu exclaimed incredulously.
Si Yinxia was silent for a second and then said, "Let's go." He turned around and started off.
Ji Xingyu heaved a sigh and followed Si Yinxia out of the hall. However, Chang Wen had stood behind. Calculating thoughts flickered in her eyes as she brooded over her next move.
"Fang Sheng International Group belonged to my second uncle. However, I was afraid that you might be hesitant to come to an event hosted by the likes of him, so I didn't tell you everything. I apologize for what had happened back there. I think now you are satisfied with the punishment given to them," Wei Ziqin said apologetically, even though she didn't know whether he was satisfied or not.
"I am not completely satisfied, but since you asked for their forgiveness, I forgive them, but in exchange. I want something from you," Aryan said as his hands caught the waist of Wei Ziqin and pulled her in his hug.
"I, I, I don't know, what you asking," She replied blushing, from the time she heard from her grandfather that Aryan was good for her, she already started seeing him as her husband. But she didn't know, he saw her as his wife or not, but now she understands what he wants.
"I think you know what I was asking," Ben said, as his one hand smooches her butt chick.
Wei Ziqin's heart caught in her throat as she felt the pain in her butt. She knew she needed to give him her virginity. Or if Aryan mood gets disturbed, he could kill Chu Minhui with a snap of a finger.
"Ok," Wei Ziqin nodded, as she felt the Aryan hands were exploring her body.
Aryan held her face as both stared at each other's gaze for thirty seconds, before Aryan's lips touched hers. Wei Ziqin accepted it until he was satisfied, after he kissed her, she lowered her head and they both started to go towards the Auction.
She reminded herself to have a serious talk with Chu Minhui so that he wouldn't get himself into trouble again.
After having caught a glimpse of who Aryan really was, Wei Ziqin finally comprehends the situation between them. She started to become more like the wife for Aryan.
After the two left the hall, they were greeted by an old man.
"This is Uncle Lin, my second uncle's right-hand man. He is going to show us the items being put on auction before it starts." Wei Ziqin said with a smile.
"Thank you for the introduction, Missy. This way, please." The old man was dressed in a sleek and meticulously ironed suit. His tempered and composed demeanor resembled that of a butler from an English Household.
As the most trusted advisor of Wei Sanye, Uncle Lin was one of if not the most influential people in the Fang Sheng International Group. Any rich upper-class citizen would have to greet him with a great measure of respect, and therefore, he didn't take someone such as Aryan seriously. But after that event, he knew that some people's demands needed to be met as soon as possible.
"These items were collected by the Third Lord from all over the world. He had spared no expense in amassing such an impressive collection."
"This one is a Sapphire from South Africa. Rumor has it that it could bring great fortune to the wearer."
"This one is an Ancestral Compass; it was said to have the ability to attract wealth."
"This one is a supreme-grade mutton-fat-jade. It can ward off the cold."
"This one is…"
All sorts of artifacts filled the entire exhibition hall to the brim. They would soon be put on auction and be admired by all the rich people of the Mahanagar City.
Uncle Lin could not suppress the pride in his voice as he went over each and every piece of the collection in great detail.
"What do you think of these artifacts, Mr. Aryan?" Wei Ziqin asked curiously.
Aryan scanned the roomful of antiques and shook his head. "They are trinkets, that's all. And stop calling me Mr. Aryan, called me Aryan."
With his wealth of knowledge in all things magical, he could easily tell real Dharma artifacts from ordinary trinkets. As much as people wanted to believe in the alleged power in these artifacts, Aryan knew that they were simply useless baubles.
"Ok," Wei Ziqin nodded.
Seeing the discussion between them, Uncle Lin understands, there is something going on between Mr. Aryan and Missy.
"Seems like I will have to bring out the real treasure."
With that in mind, Uncle Lin smiled at Wei Ziqi. "My lady, these are not the most precious treasures. Please come this way."
"Really? Sure!" Wei Ziqin followed the old man excitedly. The old man led them to the center of the exhibition hall where an iridescent colorful bead was housed inside of a lavishly decorated display case.
Wei Ziqin was confused for a second, and then she suddenly realized something.
"This… This is the Dharma Artifact that is going to be put on for auction?"
"Indeed." Uncle Lin smiled smugly.
He looked at Aryan, and to his surprise, the boy still didn't seem to be too impressed.
The artifact was able to suck the attention of any ordinary person who would lay the first sight on it. Those who fell under the spell of the artifact wouldn't be able to recover for a while.
It was already an incredible feat to be able to recover as fast as Wei Ziqin had, but Aryan seemed to be completely unaffected.
"This Dharma artifact was a Dzi Bead worn by a living Buddha from Tibet. It was said that the living Buddha was born with this bead in his hand and he had been wearing it ever since until his final nirvana. Boss had gone all the way to Tibet by himself to receive the blessing of the Living Buddha and bought this bead with a few million yuan." Uncle Lin's voice was filled with arrogance as he introduced the bead to the two youngsters.
"Incredible!" Wei Ziqin nodded to praise the story behind the rare artifact.
Uncle Lin beamed from side to side after hearing Wei Ziqin's compliment.
He turned to Aryan again, expecting to see an impressed look on the boy's face. However, Aryan shook his head disappointedly.
"It seems to me that Mr. Aryan didn't like any of Third Lord's collection."
Aryan said faintly, "It might seem like a Dharma artifact, but It's not by a long chalk."
Uncle Lin looked at Aryan and asked, "If Mr. Aryan was convinced that this Kang Duo Dzi Bead was not the real deal, would you be so kind as to show us the real Dharma Artifacts?"
"The real Dharma Artifact?"
Aryan glared at him and then said calmly, "The real Dharma Artifacts were things such as the Flying Sword and Dharma Treasures. One could use them to summon clouds and thunder among many other magical powers. This bead can only distract people when they lay the first sight on it. Other than that, it is practically useless,"
Uncle Lin replied calmly, "Those are legends; they don't exist in real life."
"But the magical power of this Dzi Bead was real. You had it completely wrong."
"Is that so? Then let's see," Aryan said, he pointed to deft fingers at the bead and suddenly evoked a huge explosion in the Void Dimension. The loud din of the explosion could not be heard in the real world unless one connected their Qi to the higher dimensions.
In a blink, Aryan had unleashed his soul energy onto the bead and erased the remaining soul energy of its previous owner.
"Look again." Aryan pulled back his fingers and said with a calm face.
When the two looked again; they were both shocked.
"It's impossible!" Uncle Lin exclaimed.
The Dzi bead had suddenly lost its strange ability to attract people's attention.
"Oh, it's very possible." Aryan explained. "It had obtained some soul energy from its previous wearer, and therefore it was able to influence the attention of an ordinary person. Since I have erased the remaining soul energy, I have also got rid of its 'power.'"
After hearing Aryan's explanation, a sense of respect rose inside of Wei Ziqin. She couldn't help but exclaim, "You are truly a master."
"Now there really is nothing special about this Dzi Bead any longer. As he had said, it is just an ordinary bauble." Uncle Lin sucked in a breath as he was taken aback by the Aryan's ability.
"You are right, Mr. Aryan."
Aryan nodded as he thought to himself. "Even the so-called 'real deal' was a useless piece of junk, much less the rest. I can't count on finding any useful artifacts here."
Even as he was about to leave, he caught a glimpse of an artifact in the corner. Suddenly, his body tightened as he failed to suppress a light gasp.
PM ME, FOLLOW ME, STAY TUNED, SUGGEST ME
