Chapter Summary
Liu Ning had defeated him in broad daylight, and this guy was definitely looking for revenge. In the history of magicians, no one had ever won a one-on-one fight against them, at least not against someone of similar skill. Let's see what kind of people your foundation would refuse?" If anyone had dared to speak to a magician like that before, Yale would have already taken action.
Liu Ning glanced around and prepared to leave. Just as he was saying goodbye and about to depart, he noticed a very discordant person. This person wasn't on the guest list, and Liu Ning immediately sensed something was amiss. This guy was the magician; Yale hadn't invited him at all, and he'd come uninvited. Moreover, his grudge against Liu Ning ran deep. Liu Ning had defeated him in broad daylight, and this guy was definitely looking for revenge. In the history of magicians, no one had ever won a one-on-one fight against them, at least not against someone of similar skill. But if someone did win, it wouldn't be a small matter, just like today's situation. It was definitely not something an ordinary person could win against. So, when this guy stepped onto the stage, Liu Ning became somewhat worried.
"Today's auction is quite lively! I'd like to join in the fun, so I've prepared an item for auction. Our Mage Guild is always very supportive of charity, and besides, Mr. Liu and I became acquainted after a misunderstanding. But this time, I'm sure I'll donate something wonderful to Mr. Liu, and I believe everyone will be satisfied. No one has ever seen anything like this before. When I bring it out, I'm sure you'll all be astonished. So please get your money ready. This item is absolutely unique; once it's brought out, it's impossible to find another one that we mages would treasure. You can imagine how precious it is..."
This guy was quite eloquent. Mages often attend various events, so he successfully attracted everyone's attention. Jinzi and the others looked at Liu Ning apologetically. No one had seen how he got up there, and they had let their guard down, which was perfectly normal. If they hadn't let their guard down, he probably wouldn't have been able to get up there. Don't be fooled by his explanation of his friendship with Liu Ning; Liu Ning knew this guy wasn't a good person and would never be friends with him. So everything he said couldn't be true. Precisely because of this, Liu Ning was very vigilant after these events, wondering what this guy would bring out. What he mentioned might be fatally dangerous to him.
So, before this guy even brought out his items, Liu Ning walked onto the stage from the other side. Everyone was already about to leave, since the best items had already been sold, and the remaining items weren't particularly valuable, so they weren't very interested. But seeing the two of them standing on the stage, their interest returned, even more so than with the valuable items. Liu Ning was the youngest genius, and a genius about to travel to the ancient ruins. In human society, this was something to be hailed as divine. Yale was one of the five great magicians, and the youngest. Yale had been defeated by Liu Ning last time, so naturally he held a grudge. Could something be going to happen between the two of them today? This auction had certainly come at the perfect time.
"This is an auction I'm hosting. You're not on my guest list, and I don't care what you're holding. My charity foundation won't accept a single penny from someone like you. So I expect you to leave immediately. If you don't leave, don't blame me for taking some tough measures. I know you mages have all sorts of privileges, but I'm also very knowledgeable about the law. In this situation, if I don't welcome you, I can have you removed at any time. We're all people of status. You won't act like a rogue here, will you? You represent the face of your Mage Guild. If you really don't care about that, then there's nothing more to say. In this situation, you should always know what to do."
After Liu Ning finished speaking, the scene became polarized. Those with common sense would have left, knowing the place might turn into a battlefield, and a fight would be detrimental to them. However, some, oblivious to this, wanted to watch the spectacle. They found the excitement unbelievable, something they'd never encountered before in centuries. Warriors were no match for mages, a fact proven countless times throughout history. No matter how talented a warrior, at the same level, they could never defeat a mage—an ironclad rule. But Liu Ning was different. His previous lecture to Professor Yale had made everything clear to everyone.
"Councilor Liu, you're mistaken. Charity is important to everyone. Since your charitable foundation has been established, it's impossible for you to refuse donations from certain individuals. I traveled all the way from the capital just to participate in this charity's donation drive. Besides, how do you know what I'm offering isn't good? Moreover, these people are watching. If word gets out that your foundation doesn't accept donations from magicians, that wouldn't be good. We're all respectable people; we should be given this much face. Besides, everyone participates in charity. Do you intend to refuse me? Then could you provide a list? Let's see what kind of people your foundation would refuse?"
If anyone had dared to speak to a magician like that before, Yale would have already taken action. But this guy was calm and collected, clearly holding back something. Liu Ning was actually a little nervous now. He knew very well that magicians were far more capable than ordinary people. If they had set traps for him elsewhere, it could cause him considerable losses. Because of this, Liu Ning wondered what this guy was thinking, and he was genuinely worried. Moreover, the guy had hit the nail on the head. At first, the charity foundation hadn't said it would refuse anyone's funding. If they refused now, it would seem petty. And this was something they absolutely couldn't do.
