Chapter 83 The Show Began

The middle-aged man surnamed Chen, who had just walked out of the door of Fuxuan Hall less than ten meters, stopped and turned his head to look at the second floor. When he saw Bai Ruochen clearly, he made an immediate reply.

However, he had a trace of confusion in his heart. Did the boss have other orders?

A moment later.

Striding out of the door, Bai Ruochen did not speak to the middle-aged man, but looked at that shrewd young man, and asked in a deep voice, "What did you just say? The man that your little boss wants to challenge is named Wang Ke? What does this Wang Ke look like? How old is he? What is he wearing today?"

The young boy who was full of shrewdness turned his head and looked at the middle-aged man with an inquiring look.

Who was the young man?

The middle-aged man gave a respectful nod to Bai Ruochen, then turned his head to glance at the boy, and said slightly, "This is the boss of our Fuxuan Hall. But I hope you can keep what you heard today to yourself, not even your little boss, or I'm sure you will come to a very sad end even if your little boss tries to protect you."

The young boy shuddered both in body and heart.

Since the establishment of Fuxuan Hall, no one had known who its boss was, since it had been managed by a few stewards. A lot of influential figures in the antique trading market had been secretly probing but had no way to get the truth.

Now, the boss of Fuxuan Hall was animatedly standing in front of him and was a very handsome young man, which shocked his heart so much.

He, who understood how powerful Fuxuan Hall was, did not dare to offend its boss. He had always been shrewd, naturally knowing what was important.

If he did not agree and the other side retaliated, he was afraid that even his current boss might not be able to save him. Moreover, his boss was so unmerciful that he would not offend Fuxuan Hall for him, right?

Looking around with a shrewd eye, he then patted his chest and guaranteed in a low voice, "Don't worry. I'll let this rot in my stomach. Not a word will come out. The boy, Wang Ke, is about 20 years old, average-looking, wearing jeans and a casual and brown jacket."

A half-smile forming on his lips, Bai Ruochen slowly raised his right hand to stroke his chin, with his eyes shining.

He had wanted to explore the details of Wang Ke but just had no opportunity and did not dare to send people to investigate secretly. And yet, at this point, something like this came along:

Thanked god for his love!

When you were hungry, you got food; when you were thirsty, you got tea. This was a perfect time.

Bai Ruochen nodded with satisfaction, patted the smart young boy on his shoulder, and said with a faint smile, "Very good. If you want to work in Fuxuan Hall, you are welcome at any time and the salary is definitely more than double your current one."

The shrewd youth looked stunned and was overjoyed at once.

"Thank you, boss. What a generous boss you are! With your vision, Fuxuan Hall will surely become a giant enterprise in the antique trading market. In fact, my job in that shop was not satisfactory these days, because of the little boss... No, no, it is Xu Jingkai. He was tricked by Wang Ke many times. So our boss took all his anger out on us. Um... I will report to Fuxuan Hall tomorrow."

Bai Ruochen slightly nodded to the youth and said even with a flash of disgust in his eyes, "I can see that you are shrewd and adaptable. I don't expect anything else but hope that you can be loyal to Fuxuan Hall and bring profits to it. Your salary is also linked to the profits."

The youth immediately nodded with a very firm look in his eyes, "For Fuxuan Hall, for my salary, no matter how hard and tired, I will do my best. Boss, you just watch!"

Bai Ruochen nodded slightly and then his eyes shifted to the middle-aged man. Even though he was the boss of Fuxuan Hall and the middle-aged man was very respectful to him, he still said politely, "Uncle Chen, let me do the refereeing this time! I don't often see gambling in the circles of antiques, so this is my chance. Please let me learn more about it!"

Looking at Bai Ruochen's appearance, the middle-aged man sighed in his heart.

During this period, Wang Ke was a regular customer of Fuxuan Hall, an apple of the eyes of Bai Ruochen, and even aroused Bai Ruochen's good impression and curiosity. Uncle Chen was afraid that the reason why Bai Ruochen would participate in person was also Wang Ke.

He indeed had some kind of friendship with Xu Jingkai, but Xu Jingkai meant nothing compared to his boss. There was nothing he could do to help Xu Jingkai because he was hostile to Wang Ke.

"Boss, since you are in the mood, go and play! If there's anything else, you may command me," said the middle-aged man with a smile.

Bai Ruochen nodded and said to the youth lightly, "Lead the way!"

More than ten minutes later.

Following the youth, Bai Ruochen came to the place where Xu Jingkai and Wang Ke were. He had not expected that at this time, except for the central position, where Xu Jingkai and Wang Ke confronted each other, both sides of this spacious street were surrounded by the crowd.

At a glance, Bai Ruochen, by his eyesight, could easily judge that no less than five hundred people were gathering there and more were still pouring out of every street.

It was so lively!

He exclaimed to himself in his heart, with a playful expression on his face. As the shrewd youth was struggling to make his way, he moved into the center of the crowd.

"How jolly you two are! You even thought about gambling on antiques and magic weapons. Awesome!" Bai Ruochen casually glanced at Wang Ke and Xu Jingkai and said with a smile.

When Wang Ke saw Bai Ruochen, he didn't greet Bai blatantly, because he didn't want the crowd to think the game was unfair.

Xu Jingkai, sitting in a wheelchair, saw his man bring in a strange young man, which made him furious and also confused.

"What's going on? I thought you were asked to send for Mr. Chen. Who the h*ll is this young man you brought here?" Xu Jingkai waved his hand to the youth and whispered after the youth quickly approached him.

The youth, threatened by the middle-aged man, dared not tell the truth.

What was more, he would soon be able to work in Fuxuan Hall and would not be willing to offend his future boss.

On the way here, the future boss had told him not to reveal the news of his job-hopping and to stay on Xu Jingkai's side as before until the end of the game between Xu Jingkai and Wang Ke.

The shrewd youth, who was actually on Bai Ruochen's side, pretended to have a bitter smile and said in a low voice, "Mr. Chen was not there, and this young man is the only person with some power in Fuxuan Hall. Besides, when he heard my intention, he insisted on following me. I couldn't help it!"

"R*bbish!"

Xu Jingkai muttered angrily. At this point, he could only forbear his discontent and irritability and said loudly, "Bro, are you a member of Fuxuan Hall? I wonder if you will agree to my invitation?"

There was a flash of anger in the shrewd youth's eyes. In the past, even if he had been full of anger, he would have still pretended not to show it. But now he had got the promise of Bai Ruochen, so he was full of contempt and dissatisfaction to Xu Jingkai who had behaved badly and had been tricked by a nobody many times.

With a smile, Bai Ruochen said brightly and clearly, "Of course, I agree with such an interesting thing. Now I, on behalf of Fuxuan Hall, am your judge. Please don't worry. I will determine the winner with fair and reasonable judgment. It's about today's challenge, but also about Fuxuan Hall's future reputation."

"What nonsense fair and reasonable judgment?" Xu Jingkai thought. He had proposed that having someone from Fuxuan Hall be the judge was to be able to cheat. But wasn't this asshole ruining most of his plans?

However, in the eyes of the public, he could not refuse but reluctantly nodded.

Wang Ke would not refuse of course when seeing Bai Ruochen. He believed that Bai Ruochen would not help either party cheat.

The surrounding crowd cheered. Since Bai Ruochen dared to guarantee with the reputation of Fuxuan Hall, everyone, naturally, no longer worried that he would take either side.

Bai Ruochen smiled brighter. He suddenly came up with a brilliant idea that could better develop and publicize Fuxuan Hall.

Waving his hand to the surrounding people, he signed everyone to be quiet and said loudly, "Everybody, since both sides of this game think highly of Fuxuan Hall, how about we, Fuxuan Hall, provide the props for the game? I can assure you that they have never seen the antiques and magic weapons we will offer. Besides, I promise you a big surprise."

Within five or six breaths, the crowd around was silent, with all eyes being focused on Bai Ruochen. They were curious to know what the surprise Bai Ruochen said would be.

"Xu Jingkai, do you agree?"

Bai Ruochen turned to look at Xu Jingkai, sitting in a wheelchair, and asked.

Xu Jingkai hesitated for a moment and then nodded heavily. He also did not believe that he would lose to Wang Ke by virtue of his real ability. And he also had something to rely on. Namely, he had broken through to the higher stage of Qi Master, nearly reaching the top of Qi Master, so he had the confidence to win.

Getting Xu Jingkai's reply, Bai Ruochen calmly turned to Wang Ke and asked loudly, "Wang Ke, what about you? Have a problem with my proposal?"

Wang Ke also shook his head, indicating that he had no problem with it.

With super cheating tools, why would he care who supplied the antiques and magic weapons to check?

Bai Ruochen slowly raised his hand and loudly said, "Great. Since both sides have no problem, then please wait for a moment. I immediately call someone to send 20 items."

With these words, Bai Ruochen quickly moved away from Xu Jingkai and Wang Ke, entering a shop at the side of the street.

The speed of the people of Fuxuan Hall was beyond everyone's expectation as if they had been already ready. Twenty minutes later, two vans slowly rolled up from a distance and the crowd blocking the way moved aside to leave a wide passage.

Everyone stared at the two vans parked steadily, wanting to see what antiques and magic weapons would be sent by Fuxuan Hall and what the surprise would be.

It was known that although Fuxuan Hall was not the strongest shop in the antique trading market, its strength was also recognized as tremendous.
