Thirty soul crystals (medium) were not a small number. Although Bick agreed verbally, preparing these soul crystals would take some time. It was impossible to take them out immediately.

“Wait a minute, at most ten minutes.”

Bick put down the phone in his hand and sighed.

“Everyone, the auction has been cut off, but the items are safe. The problem now is whether the auction will continue.”

The ten older men were deep in thought.

“Let’s forget about the auction. The people below reported that the purpose of the spiders is those items.”

“I have the same idea. The auction will be delayed.”

“No, the Youke Xin auction is held annually and has never been interrupted. The reason why there are so many people here is not because of the reputation we have accumulated over the years. If we give up like this, I am afraid that the reputation of the Youke Xin auction will be damaged.”

“That makes sense. It has been open for dozens of years. The candidates for the position of the tenth old man have changed batch after batch, but they have never stopped the auction.”

“Who cares about the auction? He is not going to pay for his life!”

The ten older men argued. Most people supported the auction to continue. Of course, the auction had to continue. Su Xiao was the first to object if the tenth older man dared to stop the auction.

“The auction can not be interrupted.”

Bick spoke, his attitude extremely resolute.

“But…”

“There are no buts. Let’s not think about reputation first. The Spider’s target is those items. If the auction ends, who will the Spider come looking for if they can’t find any clues? So the auction must continue. This can distract the Spider and make them focus on the auction instead of looking for us.”

The ten older men no longer spoke, and most of them agreed with Bick.

“Bring some food. I’m starving.”

Su Xiao said. Although he was not injured in the battle with Flying Tank, his physical strength consumption was not small.

The conference table was full of food shortly after, and the ten older men seemed hungry.

The room was filled with the fragrance of food and wine, and a ten older man beside Su Xiao raised his glass.

“Mr Byakuya, you have worked hard. You don’t have to care about the auction. The enemy has come to us. Of course, we have to give them a painful lesson. Although we are all big and rough, we still understand this truth. Don’t you agree?”

The other ten older men also raised their glasses. Su Xiao’s mouth was full of food. He said vaguely, “What about those Yin beasts? Even if their fighting strength is not good, if several people join hands, it is no problem to hold one or two members of the adventurous group.”

The strength of the ten older men was too weak. Except for Su Xiao, there were only Yin beasts and more than a dozen contractors.

Su Xiao never expected more than a dozen contractors. When Flying Tank appeared before, those guys had no use other than watching a play, and then they ran faster than rabbits.

No wonder most contractors’ clearance score was not high. It would be strange to get a high score in the reincarnation paradise with this kind of cowardly attitude.

Su Xiao could not help but think that things would be much easier if there were a contractor like Mad Grandma or Zuo Lun Man in the camp of the ten older men. Even Gulu, who liked to kill people, could do it, and the red clown was also good.

Although these people were hostile to Su Xiao, they all had one characteristic: they were not afraid of death and regarded battle as part of their daily life.

Unfortunately, the contractor, a high rank like Gulu, would not come out of the current Hunter World. Su Xiao could meet the high-rank contractor because the Pirates and the Naruto world were open worlds.

In the open worlds, there might be a contractor who could meet any rank, but ordinary derivative worlds could not.

For example, there would only be a second-rank contractor here in the Hunter World. The high-rank contractor needed to consume special items to enter here, and that kind of item was extremely rare. Even if the item were used to enter the Hunter World, the strength of the high-rank contractor would be limited.

Because of this, many large adventure groups liked the open world. They could help new members quickly become stronger in the open world and gather the entire adventurer group together.

Hearing Su Xiao’s question, a ten older man opened his mouth and ignored Su Xiao. It was not a wise move.

“Yin beast? They all went out to find the traces of the spider.”

“Just now, there was news that a group of people from the spider were being hunted down by the people below. The strange thing is that the people of the spider were not strong. Under the cooperation of our subordinates and the Yin beast, two of them died.”

Su Xiao was stunned. With the rabble of the ten old men forces, they could kill the two people of the adventurous group. This was a little unbelievable. Was it the contractor hiding this master?

“What are the appearances of those two? Do you have any photos?”

“Yes, this is what happened five minutes ago.”

A ten older man casually threw a few photos and began to doubt Su Xiao’s previous words.

“According to my understanding, the Phantom Troupe is just a bandit group. In the evaluation of V5, they are just a mob.”

“How do you explain the destructive power of the auction?”

“Who knows? I don’t know the ability to read.”

After knowing that the gang members killed two members of the adventurous group, the expression of the tenth older man was much more relaxed, and he began to look at Su Xiao in the wrong way.

Su Xiao ignored these people’s eyes and threw the photos in his hand. These guys used to call him brother, but now they have become fence-sitters. It seemed that it was wise to ask for a deposit.

“Another message came. Our people are surrounded by good news, the members of the spiders, and now they are trapped in a mountain valley.”

“What?”

A ten-year-old man was so excited that he slammed the table and stood up. Their heart was surrounded, and the atmosphere in the conference room was much more relaxed.

At this time, the ten older men began to suspect that the terrible strength of the regiment was real and fake. A ten older man with white hair squinted and looked at Su Xiao.

It was a fact that the auction was destroyed, but there were no witnesses present. Whether it was the head or the information, it was provided by Su Xiao, plus the action of asking for a deposit.

The corners of the tenth older man’s mouth emerged a smile. He thought of a possibility. Perhaps the horror of the spider was just made up by someone, and even the destruction of the auction house was something else. This was to give them a powerful imaginary enemy so that they would be obedient.

The more he thought about it, the more the tenth older man felt that this might be the case.

The tenth older man was a slippery person. They liked to plot against others, so they were more afraid of being plotted against.

“I’ll go out for a while.”

A ten older man got up. Su Xiao looked sideways and ignored it.

If the ten older men carefully observed Su Xiao’s expression, they would find him smiling. The photos provided by the ten older men were not the corpses of the adventurous group members at all. It was very likely that it was a contractor who followed the adventurous group.

The ten old men forces had contractors joining them. Of course, there were also the adventurous forces, and there should be many of them. Although it was risky to join the adventurous group, they could become temporary members. For this kind of freedom fighter, the captain of the adventurous group would not refuse.

“Since we have surrounded the spider, we should try exploring it.”

“It makes sense. The sick dogs are also nearby.”

The ten older men did not say anything more. Bick looked around and looked at Su Xiao. He was hesitating. After a few seconds, he made a decision.

“Byakuya, the eternal crystal is here.”

Under Bick’s signal, his secretary walked into the conference room with a tray.

Su Xiao tapped the table. He would not protect every one of the ten older men. If he chose to protect one, it must be Bick. This guy was very smart. He was the one who promised five soul crystals a day. The one who gave the commission in advance was also him. He even sent a natural psychic to the conference room.
