Invincible Urban Evil Doctor

Chapter 645: Chapter 672: The Strength of the Shangguan Family (II)

The three of them exited the elevator and headed straight to the venue.

The hotel was quite large, and they walked for a little over a minute before reaching the auction hall.

This jadeite auction wasn’t like the auctions everyone imagined.

Typically, people imagine auction venues to be divided into ordinary areas, private boxes, and VIP sections, as wealth shouldn’t be exposed, and many people prefer not to reveal their identities.

However, this auction was more like a classroom, albeit decorated far more luxuriously.

At the same time, there weren’t many people, and it seemed like there were no more than fifty people inside.

"Oh, right!" Lin Xi suddenly remembered something.

Shangguan Hong had been targeted for kidnapping by two men, and Lin Xi had even found out who intended to abduct him.

This person should be right here in the venue.

So, as soon as they entered the venue, Lin Xi had Shangguan Hong find a seat, and he pulled Shangguan Nishang outside.

Outside, they briefly explained to Shangguan Nishang what had happened on Jade Street.

Upon hearing that her brother was about to be kidnapped, Shangguan Nishang’s usually charming expression turned serious, and a murderous aura emanated from her.

"I’ll handle this!" she told Lin Xi.

Those two men had the strength of intermediate special forces, which means their leader is likely not weak either, possibly with the strength of a King of Soldiers. Could Shangguan Nishang handle it?

So he suggested, "If there’s trouble, I can help!"

Shangguan Nishang shook her head, declining Lin Xi’s assistance, indicating she could handle the matter.

Lin Xi nodded and didn’t ask further about how she would manage it.

After all, such a powerful family like the Shangguan family must have the ability to handle it.

The two of them re-entered the venue, and Lin Xi sat down beside Shangguan Hong.

Their seats were practically in the far corner.

There was no choice; they were the last to arrive, and the seating wasn’t assigned by name, but on a first-come, first-served basis.

Lin Xi glanced around. Among the fewer than fifty people, there were surprisingly over a dozen powerful King of Soldiers figures.

That was quite astonishing. Normally, King of Soldiers figures are extremely rare. If the authorities knew, they would surely send a large number of personnel to prevent any accidents.

"Hmm?"

Watching Shangguan Nishang head toward the auction stage, Lin Xi couldn’t help but murmur softly because on either side of the stage sat elderly men, each with white hair and a crane-like appearance. These two had the strength of Peak Soldier Kings.

Moreover, on either side of the entrance, there were two fifty-year-old men, also with the strength of King of Soldiers.

"These four don’t seem to be here to participate in the auction judging by their attire!"

Next to him, Shangguan Hong noticed Lin Xi’s puzzled expression and whispered, "These four are extremely formidable, and they are all from our Shangguan family."

"They are here to maintain order and prevent any incidents!"

Lin Xi nodded and asked, "Apart from these four, does your Shangguan family have any other such powerful individuals?"

Shangguan Hong thought for a moment and said there probably weren’t any more!

As for whether there really were more, he didn’t seem too sure.

"If there were, it would probably be just one or two more at most!" Judging by Shangguan Hong’s demeanor, he wasn’t lying, Lin Xi mused, while he also considered,

"Five or six King of Soldiers figures, including two Peak Soldier Kings!"

"With such strength, not even Wang Wudao, Su Xiong, or the Ice and Fire Lady could match it."

It seems that a family with profound heritage is unmatched by these underground forces.

No wonder Shangguan Nishang didn’t need his help, and the authorities were also assured about them hosting the Jadeite Festival, which was likely for this reason.

At this moment, Lin Xi suddenly noticed three very familiar figures in the front row, "Didn’t expect to meet acquaintances here!"

"But come to think of it, it’s quite normal!"

After all, for this jadeite auction, powerful forces or families would all be invited.
