Chapter 90 hey, I know you

Walking out of the auction hall, I immediately saw several individuals dressed as servants gathered in a circle outside the entrance, punching and kicking a man in the middle. Beside them, a playboy was hopping and cursing, "Dodge? Let’s see how long you can dodge. You refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit! It’s your good fortune that this young master took a fancy to that crappy herb, yet you dare to dillydally. Hit him, hit him hard, break his legs, let’s see if he can still dodge!" This playboy was none other than Yuan Tianbo, who had been severely taught a lesson by Han Yan. Oh dear, this guy had bodyguards with him today. It seems he remembered to bring guards after getting beaten up by his own last time, and not just a couple of them.

The one being beaten was dressed in ragged clothes, clearly of low status and didn’t even have the courage to fight back, just desperately protecting his head.

"What’s going on?" Mu Nan asked a guard beside him.

"The man being beaten is named Che Xiang. He comes from a poor family and owes the Yuan Family 200 taels. Half a month ago, Che Xiang found a Fire Orchid, said to be worth thousands of taels. He intended to sell it to pay his debt but Yuan Tianbo got wind of it and insisted on taking it as debt repayment. Che Xiang refused and tried to hide. Today, he came to our Nan Mu Chamber of Commerce to sell the Fire Orchid, but Yuan Tianbo caught him right at the entrance," the guard replied quietly.

Mu Nan frowned. He didn’t like Yuan Tianbo’s behavior either, but since the trouble was outside, he felt it wasn’t his place to interfere. Moreover, paying debts is only natural, and if one couldn’t pay in cash, paying through possessions was quite normal, even if the item’s value far exceeded the debt. Such things were commonplace and everyone was used to it.

Usually, Han Yan wouldn’t mind giving Yuan Tianbo a lesson, but now that she was preoccupied with the Dragon Blood Stone, she had no interest in meddling. Plainly speaking, she beat up Yuan Tianbo simply because she found him annoying, not out of any compassionate or saintly feelings, nor did she have any interest in playing the saint. There were too many injustices in the world, could she possibly address them all?

Zi Rong seemed a bit eager to try, but seeing that Han Yan wasn’t interested, he gave up the idea.

Han Yan turned around, and the others followed suit, but just at that moment, Han Yan suddenly stopped.

At her chest, the Star Plate began to vibrate violently, a profound craving and excitement surged into her mind.

Han Yan looked down thoughtfully, clutching the Star Plate. It was a natural gesture, much like the subconscious movements many have when lost in thought.

Her gaze quickly swept across, a row of tiny characters swiftly flashed across the Star Plate: "Fire Orchid, Dragon Blood Stone."

Brief, but Han Yan immediately understood their implication: The Fire Orchid was connected to the Dragon Blood Stone.

Yuan Tianbo, Yuan Tianbo, I didn’t intend to deal with you today, but I have no choice. The Fire Orchid is connected to the Dragon Blood Stone; it’s just your bad luck.

"Relying on his family’s power, he forces deals and bullies the weak. We might have ignored it had we not seen it, but having witnessed it, we cannot just stand by. Let’s go, today we shall act for justice and restore clarity to Heishi City," Han Yan decisively turned back, speaking righteously.

Huayue looked solemn, feeling a strong sense of justice filling the space between heaven and earth.

Zirong, however, was skeptical. With the present Han Yan, it was hard to say, but if it had been before, acting for justice would have meant replacing you first—whom are you kidding? If I’m not mistaken, the Big Playboy Mu was probably also eyeing that Fire Orchid.

One could only imagine, someone was about to be unlucky.
