Before Chou could finish his sentence, Sunny interrupted him. She gave a cold stare at him and said,
"Shut up. Do your duty well, and don't ask too many questions!"
Chou got nervous instantly and knelt down in a rush. He gave himself two hard slaps on the face and
said hurriedly, "I'm wrong. Please don't be angry, Master Sunny!"
Sunny waved her hand and said, "It's alright. Get up. From now on, you have to do your best to assist
Little Young Master and continue hiding his identity so that people from the organization won't find him
out, got it?"
"Yes, Madam Sunny!"
After a pause, Chou thought of something and said, "Master Sunny, in fact, some time ago, Little Young
Master met someone from the organization…"
"What?!" For the first time, Sunny showed a shocked expression. Her eyes widened, and she began to
exude an overwhelming aura, which almost suffocated Chou. He felt as if he was pinned under a
mountain, while his bones couldn't bear the weight, cracking.
Chou explained at once, "Master Sunny, don't worry. I killed that man with a slap, and Little Young
Master's identity was not disclosed."
Sunny recovered immediately and said with a frown, "Tell me what happened."
Chou told the story of Raven instantly with scrupulous attention to detail. After that, he added, "Little
Young Master is a great martial artist now, and Raven is no match for him. He has a promising future,
but the only thing is that Little Young Master is too merciful. If I hadn't appeared in time that day, Little
Young Master would have released Raven. In that case, the consequences would be too ghastly to
imagine."
Sunny heard that, and something odd was gleaming in her eyes. She said with a smile, "I know this
guy, Raven. He is a man of mediocre talent, and can only be considered a good-for-nothing in the
organization. But to ordinary people, he is also a top master that no one can match. It didn't occur to
me that he was actually defeated by Tom. It seems that I've underestimated this fellow's talent. In this
case, maybe I can carry out the plan in advance…"
Sunny said her last remark in a low voice with a meaningful look on her face.

A few days had passed in a blink. During this period of time, Tom had kept himself busy and been
trying to get information about Purification Pill via his own means.
To him, Purification Pill was something he had never heard of before. It was a brand new thing.
Besides, he would have to take it. He could kill himself if anything went wrong, so he had to be cautious
about such an important thing.
Having gone through so many hardships, Tom had developed a trait of meticulousness. Even if it was
Chou who had revealed the information to him, he couldn't believe it one hundred percent. Because,
first of all, Chou had lied to him before, and Tom couldn't guarantee that Chou was completely loyal to
him; secondly, if Chou had got the Purification Pill's effect wrong, and thus something happened when
he took it, then it was not worth it.
Therefore, Tom had to check the reality by his own means to minimize the risk!
Having learned the background information, Tom was almost certain that there was indeed a thing
called Purification Pill, and it would also be effective to him.
This time, the auction was held in Phoenix with a high standard. Not everyone could participate in the
auction, but it was partly open to some people in the circle. However, the so-called "circle" was not a
business circle, but a unique one.
To be specific, this auction was in the gray zone. Not only antiques, calligraphy work, paintings, land
were auctioned here, but some shady deals would also be made here, such as servants, beauties, rare
treasures, clues to treasures and so on.
Purification Pill, to the masses, was a poison, but not a tonic.
Anyone without a spotless record or a recommendation from an insider wouldn't be able to participate
in the auction.
Since Tom was recommended by Master Chou, he was qualified to participate in the auction.
The auction was held in a suburban resort in Phoenix , which covered a large area. The guests needed
to park their cars in a parking lot a few hundred meters away before walking to the salesroom.
Along the way, one could see many professional security guards watching the place. Whoever dared to
cause trouble here would be severely punished.
Tom could tell that this place was not ordinary at a glance. At the same time, he was getting more
interested in tonight's auction.
"This is not some small auction."
After Tom and Master Chou parked the car, they said with a smile while walking to the salesroom
together.
Master Chou explained, "It has been over 20 years since the first auction of tonight's kind was held,
and it's usually held once a month. The requirements for admission are rather high. Those rich people
without high social status are not allowed in."
"I can feel it," Tom said, nodding.
Finally they walked into the salesroom as they chatted.
The area of this salesroom was not very big, just the size of a basketball court. It was decorated in
vintage style, and not many modern electric appliances could be seen.
When Tom and Master Chou arrived, there were already a lot of people in the salesroom, all strangers
to Tom.
At first glance, these people looked quite ordinary and not eye-catching, but if watching closely, one
would find that they were not common folks at all, and their imposing manner was very well-hidden.
For example, the middle-aged man in front of Tom with a slightly plump figure was smiling amiably and
looked gentle, but his body contained huge energy, and he was also a master.
Take the young woman on the other side of the room for example. She was scantily clad with a pair of
coquettish eyes, and appeared very sexy. Ordinary people would assume she was a housewife at first
glance. But in fact, she was a killer. Only those at an advanced cultivation level were able to discover
the light murderous temperament radiated from her.
Tom found the auction novel, looking around.
At this moment, a voice sounded from behind, "Well, isn't this Master Chou? What brings you here? It's
been a long time since you came here for treasure hunting."
Tom turned around and found that it was a mature lady in a purple embroidered cheongsam. She was
holding a slender lady's cigarette between her fingers. Her long hair was coiled on top of her head. Her
skin was as fair as snow, smooth and delicate. She also had a charming face, on which hung a
seductive and fascinating smile.
There were a few people behind her. They were all women of sturdy build. Their eyes were sharp, and
their bodies contained great energy. They were all extraordinary masters.
Tom had seen many beautiful women before, but it was the first time he had ever seen such a
seductive woman.
Specifically, she was a mature lady with human being's appearance, but her temperament was like a
vixen, who had cultivated herself to be a human. Each frown, smile and move of hers had its unique
charm.
Even Tom, who was so strong-willed, couldn't help but palpitate with excitement at the first glance of
her.
Her eyes fell upon Master Chou at first, and then brushed over Tom. Her attention was not attracted by
Tom's plain look at all. She thought that Tom was Master Chou's attendant.
The moment Master Chou saw her, fear flashed across his eyes, but disappeared immediately. Then
he gave a smile and said politely, "So it's Amelia. Nice to meet you."
Amelia took a small step forward and drew closer to Master Chou. Her smile deepened, full of flirtation
and charm, making the heart of a mature man as composed as Master Chou beat faster, forcing him to Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.
circulate his Genuine Qi as soon as possible, so that he could suppress the fire in his underbelly, while
keeping a faint smile on his face.
Amelia was smoking lazily, a puff of smoke drifting towards Master Chou. She said with a smile,
"Master Chou is a big shot in H City, as well as an honored guest of our Cloud&Sky Pavilion. I wonder
what treasure Master Chou has taken a fancy to this time. Tell me, and maybe I can pull some strings
for you."
She deliberately emphasized the word "strings". With that expression on her face, she had aroused so
many thoughts in people's mind.
Master Chou coughed and said, "Actually, I came here with my young master this time."
Amelia looked a little surprised when hearing this and said, "Master Chou, a big shot like you actually
called someone else your young master? Where is he? Introduce him to me!"
She knew what Master Chou was. He was a powerful man in H City, but there was still a young master
behind him? She had never heard of this before!
Master Chou smiled and said, "My young master is right in front of you."
"Where?" Amelia looked around for the "young master". Soon, she realized something, and finally cast
her eyes at Tom beside Master Chou. She couldn't help but say in astonishment, "Master Chou, are
you going to tell me that the man next to you is your young master?"
