Chapter 132 The Commission from Mittelten Mountain
"Who are you?"
Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, his tone still quite respectful.
"Mitter Tengshan, the Mittel Auction House is currently under my full management."
Upon hearing the old man introduce himself, Xiao Yan released his grip, and the strange fire sword dissipated.
"Then, Mr. Tengshan, you must be someone who has influence here."
Mittel Tengshan nodded: "That's right. I am now the Grand Elder of Mittel Auction House. I dare not say anything else, but at least here, my words still carry weight."
After confirming the other party's identity, Xiao Yan nodded: "This is not the place to talk. There are some things that you and I should discuss in private."
"Elder, you mustn't! This brat is far too arrogant. He severely injured me the moment we met, showing no regard for the Mittel family. If he's given more time to grow, he will surely overthrow the Mittel family!"
Leo embellished the situation and reported it, making it sound as if the Mittel Auction House would be trampled to pieces at any moment, otherwise Mittel Tengshan would not have personally taken action.
"Enough, Leo, I think you're getting more and more senile as you get older. Growth? This gentleman can do what you're talking about right now."
Instead of trying to befriend and win over such a talented person, you're pushing him to the opposite side of the Mittel family at every turn. If the Mittel family were handed over to you, I'm afraid its fate would truly be as you said, completely overturned.
"With your discerning eye, I don't think you're qualified to continue as Executive Elder. You've been dismissed. From this moment on, get out of Mittel Auction House immediately, or I'll have the enforcement team take action!"
In the Mittel Auction House, the Grand Elder wields immense power and is the only one who can directly appoint and dismiss elders.
"Elder, I was wrong, I know I was wrong!"
Sir, it's all my fault. I didn't discipline him properly. It's okay that my good-for-nothing grandson is dead.
"Please, I beg you, please plead with the Grand Elder to rescind his order!"
However, Xiao Yan found his attitude laughable and was unlikely to speak up for him.
"Enforcement team, what should you do if individuals unrelated to the Mittel family enter a non-public area?"
Mitteltenshan spoke coldly, and Juwa and the other law enforcement officers understood his meaning.
"According to the auction house's rules, you will be expelled immediately, Mr. Leo. Would you like to leave on your own, or should we take you away?"
Juva walked up to Leo with a cold expression. He was only following orders, and most importantly, this boy was simply too terrifying.
"Bah, Mittel Tengshan, I have made so many contributions to the family, what right do you have to dismiss me like this? I don't accept it!"
I refuse to accept this!
Leo was somewhat hysterical at this moment, and the law enforcement officers didn't tolerate him. This guy was usually arrogant and didn't take them seriously. Now that they had the chance to catch him, they naturally wouldn't sympathize with the old man.
Two Douling law enforcement officers immediately lifted Leo up from the front and carried him out.
"Sir, this is indeed not the place to talk. My office is on the sixth floor. Please come up with me to have a chat."
Mittel Tengshan was a three-star Dou Wang and one of the top ten strongest people in the Jia Ma Empire, but he dared not be the slightest bit negligent in front of Xiao Yan.
Even I couldn't defeat Juwa, a peak Dou Ling, with a single move. If I really treated him as an ordinary Dou Wang, I would be in big trouble.
Clearly, Leo lacked this kind of insight.
Xiao Yan nodded and followed Mittel Tengshan up to the top floor of the auction house, the sixth floor.
Besides the Senate chamber, this place also houses Mittelten's office.
Normally, apart from the elders, no one else has the right to enter this place.
Only some Dou Huangs or those comparable to Dou Huangs are qualified to be invited.
As the eldest elder of the Mittel family, Mittel Tengshan wields the most power in the entire family, yet his office is remarkably simple and unpretentious.
Aside from the potted green plants used to refresh the mind, there was only a cabinet, an office desk, a tea table and matching tea chairs, and some rare and fragrant tea leaves.
However, what Xiao Yan cared about most was a small ice flower on the desk. That thing was not a natural object, but rather formed from condensed Dou Qi, and he didn't know how long it had existed.
Mittel Tengshan placed it in a specially made small basin, with a fifth-tier ice-type magical beast core embedded at the bottom, continuously providing energy to the small ice flower to prevent it from melting, which was completely out of place with the luxurious atmosphere of the entire office.
"Mr. Tengshan is truly a man of refined taste. He has preserved such a small ice flower with such care. It must be something of great significance."
Thinking of this, Xiao Yan remembered the bead on his body that contained Xun'er's image. That thing was worth only a few hundred gold coins, but to Xiao Yan, it was priceless.
"Hehe, this little ice flower was not created by me, but left by a senior who had a profound influence on me when I was young. It's just a pity that he has been missing for decades, and I have been searching for him in vain all these years."
When talking about the owner of Little Ice Flower, Mittel Tengshan seemed to feel some regret or remorse.
Perhaps that person died somewhere long ago, sometime ago.
Seeing the change in Mittel Tengshan's expression, Xiao Yan stopped mentioning the matter and immediately got to the point.
"I deeply regret killing one of the deacons of the Mittel Auction House, and I am willing to bear the losses caused to the auction house."
One thing at a time. Although he was standing up for Ya Fei, he knew that everything comes at a price.
It's just a minor butler position; its value isn't that great.
"Hehe, he's just an incompetent good-for-nothing taught by an incompetent person. He doesn't need your compensation, sir."
"And even if you didn't kill him, that guy might cause even bigger trouble next time. On the contrary, his death allows you and me to sit here and talk calmly, which already fulfills his greatest value."
It must be said that Mittel Tengshan, as the family's elder, speaks with great eloquence.
What is clearly a bad thing can be turned into a good thing in his mouth.
Of course, all of this is based on the premise that Xiao Yan is strong enough and his value is greater than the other party's. Otherwise, he would not even be able to see the person in front of him and would probably be executed.
"Since Mittel Auction House is not going to hold me responsible, I'll be leaving now."
He didn't leave immediately to deal with the potential problems for Ya Fei. Now that it seems the other party doesn't intend to pursue the matter, there's no need to stay any longer.
"Sir, please wait. The reason I've kept you here is because I've assessed your strength. May I ask again, are you at the Dou Huang realm?"
Mitteltenshan asked the question in a serious, tentative tone.
"No, but if I use all my methods now, I can even kill a Dou Huang."
Upon hearing Xiao Yan's reply, Mittel Tengshan remained calm on the surface, but was inwardly greatly shocked.
You must understand that what they meant by "comparison" or "confrontation" was not "to kill" or "to annihilate"!
However, the more this was the case, the happier Mittel Tengshan became: "Since you truly possess the strength of a Dou Huang, then I shall dare to entrust you with a matter. What do you say?"
Xiao Yan raised an eyebrow, knowing that something was indeed going on. However, considering that the Mittel family was wealthy and powerful, even richer than some Dou Huang forces, he didn't mind listening patiently.
"Please feel free to speak; I will consider it based on the content."
Xiao Yan's reply relieved Mittel Tengshan, who then said, "I invited you here today to ask you to find someone."
"Who?"
"The Ice Emperor Hai Bodong, one of the ten strongest figures in the Gama Empire."
