Beauty and the Bodyguard

The final transaction amount of the Hong Chamber of Commerce had reached a heaven-defying 90.8 million. When this result was announced, everyone was shocked!

It should be known that a first-rate branch of a top Chamber of Commerce wouldn't even be able to reach this figure in an entire year, yet this person had achieved it with a simple auction. This result was simply maddening. Even the big shots of the Chamber of Commerce would breathe heavily when they heard this figure.

The crowd didn't leave just like that. Ling Yuanqing appeared on the stage again and announced,""As the principal of the Morning Star Academy, I hereby announce that the only supplier of the Academy is the Hong Chamber of Commerce!"

As soon as he finished speaking, honest Chai jumped up in excitement. He really came back from the dead this time, and it was all thanks to Lin Yi's timely arrival!

However, it wasn't just him and the branch that benefited-Lin Yi himself had made a huge profit as well, since he was the one who provided all these pills. After deducting the necessary materials and auction fees, he'd earned at least eighty million spirit Jade today!

However, Lin Yi only smiled at this and didn't seem particularly excited. After all, he didn't lack spirit Jade, and it was just a number to him.

The surrounding people all came up to congratulate him. No one knew Lin Yi, but they all knew honest Chai. The Hong Chamber of Commerce was in the limelight today, and everyone knew that he would be the number one morning Star Chamber of Commerce in the future. As the branch manager, honest Chai's status would naturally rise as well. They had to get on his good side now.

Just as honest Chai was busy dealing with the situation, a person suddenly jumped out from room number thirteen. He landed in front of honest Chai amidst everyone's surprise. He pointed at honest Chai's nose and shouted,"This is impossible! The Hong family is clearly up to no good!"

"Shopkeeper Wan, what do you mean by that?" Honest Chai looked at the person in front of him and his face turned cold. This person was the branch manager of the All Access banquet, Wan Zhongjie.

The crowd quieted down when they saw the two of them going head to head with each other. If Wan Zhongjie could produce any evidence, Ling Yuanqing would probably take back his order. It seemed like the only supplier to the Morning Star Academy was not certain.

"Hmph, shopkeeper Chai, you know very well what I mean!" Wan Zhongjie sneered. He suddenly jumped out because he was unwilling. He had spent so much effort to get the grand finale elixir, the grade seven recover pill. It was not easy for him to win against the wealthy families. Victory was in sight. Who would have thought that he would be slapped in public and become a clown? how could he bear this anger?

"Shopkeeper Wan, if you have anything to say, you'd better say it clearly in person. You ruined my reputation for no reason. Do you really think that my Hong Chamber of Commerce is easy to bully?" Even honest Chai, this honest man, was furious.

"Everyone knows that your Hong Chamber of Commerce is in a mess right now. I suspect that these pills are your last struggle and you bought them at a high price from outside! I'm sure that you didn't get these pills from the same supplier. You must have pieced them together!" Wan Zhongjie said firmly.

"So what?" The people around them were confused. Even if the pills didn't come from the same supplier, did it matter?

"How is it? Hmph, a Chamber of Commerce like this will only temporarily buy pills at a high price to put up a front. In fact, there is no long-term cooperation value. Letting such a Chamber of Commerce be the only supplier to the Morning Star Academy, isn't this still harming the Academy's disciples?" Wan Zhongjie sneered.

"Shopkeeper Wan is right. If you want to be the only supplier to the Morning Star Academy, you have to make everyone convinced. What are you, a temporary product, worth?" At this moment, someone in the crowd responded. The crowd looked over and saw that it was shopkeeper Jin of the Golden universe Chamber of Commerce.

"That's right, shopkeeper Chai, why don't you quickly explain? For example, this set of golden core of the Yuanying stage that even my rich and powerful family will take out is specially refined by the same Alchemist. It is our exclusive source of goods, so naturally, we can guarantee a stable supply. Otherwise, if we can only put together a few pieces temporarily, how can we bear the demand of so many Academy disciples?" Manager Tong seized the opportunity to step forward and say.

Although these Chambers of Commerce were competitors with each other, and manager Tong was cursing Wan Zhongjie in his heart just now, in front of the great enemy of the Hong Chamber of Commerce, this could only be regarded as an internal conflict. Now, they needed to unite against the external forces and kick the Hong Chamber of Commerce while it was down.

With Wan Zhongjie and a few others taking the lead, the shopkeepers of other small Chambers of Commerce also jumped out one after another, clamoring for honest Chai to announce the supply of goods. Otherwise, today's auction result would not be counted.

"That's impossible. The source of the goods is an absolute core secret to any Chamber of Commerce. If it were you, would you easily reveal your source of goods? Manager Tong, why don't you set an example first?" Honest Chai retorted.

"This ..." Manager Tong didn't dare to answer immediately. If this was announced in public, what would he do if someone poached his men?

"The rich and powerful families don't need to bear the supply of the entire Morning Star Academy, so of course there's no need to announce the source of the goods. However, your Hong Chamber of Commerce is related to the future and fate of all the Academy's disciples. Shouldn't you give everyone a satisfactory explanation?" Wan Zhongjie sneered and changed his target.

The crowd was once again riled up as the chaos intensified and the scene became more and more out of control. Honest Chai's heart was burning with anxiety as he watched. He had thought that it would be a happy ending, but who would have thought that the situation would change so drastically? The old saying that the tallest tree in the forest would be destroyed by the wind was true!

"Silence!" At this moment, Ling Yuanqing finally spoke. Everyone instantly fell silent. This principal of the Morning Star Academy was publicly acknowledged as the number one person in the Academy. Once he opened his mouth, no one dared to say another word.

"Please uphold justice, Vice Principal Ling!" Honest Chai was overjoyed. As long as Ling Yuanqing was willing to say something, Wan Zhongjie and the others would not be able to do anything no matter how much they disagreed.

"Vice Principal Ling, this matter concerns the future and fate of all the Academy's disciples. No matter how cautious you are, it can not be too much. You must not be soft-hearted and favor the Hong Chamber of Commerce!" Wan Zhongjie and the others quickly said.

Ling Yuanqing scanned the crowd and said,""Asking the Hong Chamber of Commerce to announce their supply is both unrealistic and unreasonable. However, since everyone has doubts, in order to clear the Hong Chamber of Commerce's name, why don't we have someone check these pills? I believe that we will be able to come to a convincing conclusion. What does shopkeeper Chai think?"

"Good, since Vice Principal Ling has spoken, then I have no objections. As long as we can test that these pills came from the same Alchemist, you guys should have nothing to say, but I wonder who will be the one to test the pills? It can't possibly be an Alchemist from one of these Chambers of Commerce, right?" Honest Chai frowned. (To be continued.)
