C160 Chaos(1)
The series of actions of Lee Zhuohua seizing Gray Robed Man's flag only took a few breaths of time. After snatching away their flag, he stood there with the flag in one hand, his gaze sweeping across all the chambers of commerce in front of him.
"How is this possible? How can he be so strong?" Even now, Gray Robed Man still felt that the matter was a little unreal. He could not believe that it was real and looked at Lee Zhuohua with an ugly expression.
His flag had been taken from him not long after the race had begun, which meant that he had been stripped of his qualifications, and that he had been knocked out of the race so quickly that it was easy to imagine how much more of a joke it was going to be.
Gray Robed Man could not accept it for a moment. He actually stood up and wanted to attack Lee Zhuohua.
At this moment.
"Swish."
The white light of the Chamber of Commerce's battle judgement immediately appeared in front of Gray Robed Man, who was looking at Gray Robed Man with a dignified expression, who wanted to attack Lee Zhuohua.
"All of you are unqualified. Leave now, or I'll personally chase you out." White Light warned Gray Robed Man in a serious tone.
The rules of the bidding competition were known by all the merchants. In the past, those who had their flags stolen would all leave the arena voluntarily. This was originally a competition to liven up the atmosphere.
No one would fly into a rage out of humiliation because their flags were stolen and continue fighting. Hence, White Light would never enter the arena to issue a ruling before.
But this Gray Robed Man actually wanted to continue attacking Lee Zhuohua because his flag was stolen. This was equivalent to challenging the dignity of White Light, so he would naturally step forward to stop it.
Gray Robed Man was furious that he had been stopped, but when he saw that it was White Light who had stopped him, the anger in his heart immediately dissipated.
He knew who White Light was, and he also knew what kind of background and strength White Light had. Those were all things he could not and did not dare to offend.
"Me, me." For a moment, Gray Robed Man did not know how to explain himself, but when he saw Lee Zhuohua holding the flag with one hand, he could not help but feel a little unwilling in his heart.
White Light did not care what kind of resentment Gray Robed Man had.
"I'll give you three breaths of time. If you still don't leave, I'll ask you to leave." White Light said expressionlessly.
Gray Robed Man did not dare to brush against the white light. He looked at Lee Zhuohua with unwillingness, then turned around and walked out.
His companions were also afraid of the white light, so they quickly caught up to Gray Robed Man and walked to the viewing seating area.
White Light only turned his head around when he saw Gray Robed Man leave. He first glanced at Lee Zhuohua and nodded imperceptibly.
"Alright, the match will continue now, but those who have lost the qualification please leave the arena." White Light looked around and said loudly, then quickly returned back to the main audience seating.
"How is it?" Jing Jingxuan said indifferently when she saw White Light return.
"The First Prince has a pair of sharp eyes. It was your subordinate, Meng Lang." White Light cupped his hands and said.
"Hehe, let's continue watching." Jing Jingxuan chuckled and no longer paid attention to White Light.
But White Light was confused. He could not figure out how the First Prince knew that this person's strength could sweep across Gray Robed Man's camp.
However, he did not dare to ask any of these questions. He could only bury them in his heart and continue to watch along with Jing Jingxuan.
...
The scene of Lee Zhuohua seizing the flag in a split second had shocked the other participants from the other chambers of commerce. Before this, they had been the same as Gray Robed Man, looking down on the Zhao Family Chamber of Commerce.
However, after what Lee Zhuohua had done, everyone treated him seriously. Some of the people from the Chamber of Commerce had changed their minds from the Zhao Family Chamber of Commerce to another Chamber of Commerce.
"Did you see it clearly?" Qin Weiyang said to Qin Haichao, who was beside him, with a calm expression.
"I did." Qin Haichao naturally knew what his brother was asking.
He had also seen Lee Zhuohua's series of actions just now. If he said that he didn't believe that Lee Zhuohua would be able to defeat him in a head-on battle, he would have thought that Lee Zhuohua was using tricks in the Zhao Family Chamber of Commerce.
But now, he had to admit that Lee Zhuohua had the strength to defeat him head on.
He shook his head with a bitter smile.
"Alright, don't be discouraged. You still have a lot of room to grow. Now let's deal with this match properly." Qin Weiyang said as he pointed at Qin Haichao.
"Okay." Qin Haichao nodded.
On the side of the Jiang Family Chamber of Commerce.
Chiang Jin could clearly see Lee Zhuohua's actions, but he did not show any emotion. The corner of his mouth moved slightly, and he turned his head around.
Lee Zhuohua still did not know that his every move was attracting the attention of many forces.
After he snatched the flag of Gray Robed Man, his gaze swept across the surrounding chambers of commerce, and he slowly walked back to Lin Wunian in front of everyone.
Because these merchant guilds' people were afraid of the strength that Lee Zhuohua had just displayed, they did not go forward to snatch his flag.
Very quickly, Lee Zhuohua walked back to Lin Wunian.
"Uncle Lin, here you go." Lee Zhuohua chuckled and handed the flag over to him.
Lin Wunian had not noticed when Lee Zhuohua had made his move. Before he could react, Lee Zhuohua had already snatched the flag.
"Alright...Alright." Lin Wunian received the flag in a daze.
Lee Zhuohua couldn't help but laugh out loud when he saw his opponent's reaction, but he focused his attention on the other chambers of commerce, because the competition was not over yet.
The originally tense atmosphere in the central square was broken by Lee Zhuohua's lightning strike. With the first person taking action, the other Chamber of Commerces no longer waited, and also started to snatch the flags of the other Chamber of Commerces one after another.
"Give it to me."
"Scram."
