Kong Lou's eyes narrowed slightly, but he didn't kill Su Feng immediately.
Su Feng, like a drowning man grasping at a final straw, quickly said to Chen Jie, "Alright, save me quickly. I'll agree to any conditions!"
Chen Jie replied, "My condition for saving you is that you give me that piece of jade."
"What? This... this is what I bought for twenty-five billion. That's too high a price. Change the condition!" Su Feng exclaimed.
"I'm sorry, I only have this one condition. Whether you agree or not, it's up to you," Chen Jie said indifferently.
Su Feng struggled with his expression.
The gap between first-rate and second-rate families lay in the presence of powerful experts.
Compared to that, money was less important.
With this jade, the Su family could soon have a top-tier expert, thus elevating them to first-rate family status.
He was unwilling to give up this opportunity.
Xiao Ding roared, "Su Feng, what are you hesitating for? Agree quickly! Is that thing more important than your life?"
Su Feng suddenly yelled, "I won't agree! This jade is mine, and no one can take it away!"
"You're foolish!" Xiao Ding shouted angrily.
"Hmph! Kid, I advise you, if you have the ability, save me immediately. Otherwise, if I die today, you will face the wrath of my Su family!"
"I know you. You're the Wang family's son-in-law, but in front of me, you're still not enough! If you were already married to Miss Wang, perhaps my Su family wouldn't be able to do anything to you!"
"Think carefully. If you don't act, you'll have nowhere to go but death!"
Su Feng threatened.
Chen Jie shook his head and ignored him.
*Crack!*
With a crisp sound, Kong Lou crushed Su Feng's other arm, a cruel look on his face.
Su Feng cried out in terror, "You old bastard, you're crazy!"
"I said I would cripple your limbs first and make you taste all sorts of suffering before killing you! Hmph!"
Saying that, Kong Lou no longer hesitated and crushed Su Feng's last leg.
Su Feng roared at Chen Jie, "Why aren't you saving me! Are you trying to die? I order you to kill this old bastard immediately, and I can forgive your earlier inaction!"
Chen Jie remained cold and unmoved.
Seeing that he was about to die, Su Feng finally came to his senses. He could only turn things around if he stayed alive; without life, everything was in vain.
Thinking of this, he quickly called out to Chen Jie, "Alright, I agree. I'll give you the jade!"
"Act now!!!"
However, Chen Jie remained indifferent.
Did he really think Chen Jie had no temper?
If he died, the spirit stone would still fall into his hands.
Why waste energy saving someone who dared to threaten him?
"He can't even save himself, and you expect him to save you! I'll kill you, then kill Xiao Ding, and finally eliminate the little scoundrel who dared to bid against me! Just obediently go and die!" Kong Lou sneered and raised his hand to strike.
"No! Chen Jie, you damn it, save me! I already agreed! Hurry!"
*Pu!*
Kong Lou's palm landed on Su Feng's head, and Su Feng's voice abruptly ceased.
Then, Kong Lou turned his cold gaze to Xiao Ding.
Xiao Ding's heart tightened, and he shouted at Chen Jie, "Brother Chen, Su Feng didn't agree to you, but I will! As long as you can repel this person, that jade will be yours!"
Chen Jie frowned, "Unfortunately, that piece of jade isn't yours. What's the point of your agreement?"
"It is! Absolutely! He spent twenty-five billion to buy it. If my auction house breaches the contract, I'll directly refund the twenty-five billion to the Su family. That spirit stone will remain an item of my auction house! I can decide to give it to you!" Xiao Ding said.
"Alright, you said it. If you go back on your word, I won't mind taking your life."
With that, Chen Jie flicked his wrist, sending the steel needle he had caught flying towards Kong Lou.
Kong Lou looked disdainful. He didn't take Chen Jie seriously at all.
He thought he could use his own steel needle to take his life?
Ridiculous.
Is that all he's got?
Xiao Ding was stunned, then filled with disappointment.
He thought Chen Jie was more capable than this.
Could he be better at playing with steel needles than Kong Lou?
Jiang Xue also shook her head slightly. She had thought Chen Jie's strength had recovered.
It turned out he just wanted to use a sneak attack with hidden weapons.
However, only Zhang De's eyes widened, staring intently at the steel needle.
The moment Chen Jie acted, Kong Lou sensed his intention and immediately turned to dodge.
"You actually dare to attack me? A suicidal little trash, I originally wanted to let you live until the end before killing you, but since you insist, I'll take your life now!"
Kong Lou suddenly turned, leaping towards Chen Jie.
He roared, "The two young women by your side are quite nice. They can be my cauldrons!"
"Chen Jie, be careful!"
"Oh no, Master!"
Wang Xiaoyan and Zhang De cried out in unison.
Unfortunately, it was too late.
Kong Lou's speed was too fast.
They couldn't react in time.
As for Chen Jie, he remained motionless, and everyone thought he was stunned by fear.
Xiao Ding regretted it immensely.
This brat had no real skills, only knew how to pretend!
He, a dignified magnate, had actually believed this fellow and asked him to act.
"Suicidal,"
Chen Jie sneered, extended his fingers, and flicked upwards.
The steel needle that Kong Lou had dodged suddenly made a bizarre turn in the air, piercing towards Kong Lou's head in front of Chen Jie.
Telekinesis!
This was Chen Jie's second ability after reaching the Qi Refining stage.
Since he was only in the Qi Refining stage, he could only control small objects.
However, a steel needle was more than enough.
*啾!*
Just as Kong Lou was about to touch Chen Jie, the steel needle shot from behind him, piercing his brain. With a *plop*, it went straight through his head.
Kong Lou's body then fell with a thud directly in front of Chen Jie.
A thin line of blood trickled from his brow.
He died with his eyes wide open.
"What?"
Xiao Ding's eyes widened in shock.
Jiang Xue quickly looked down, then took two steps back, her face pale, "He's dead!"
Wang Xiaoyan also exclaimed, "Chen Jie, how did you do that?"
"It was very simple for me." Chen Jie bent down, took the spirit stone from Kong Lou's body, and a look of satisfaction appeared on his face.
This spirit stone was much larger than the bead Zhou Renyi had given him, and it contained far more energy.
He was very satisfied.
Xiao Ding quickly approached Chen Jie. Only after confirming that Kong Lou was dead did he suddenly freeze.
This old man who had wreaked havoc in his auction house was actually killed by Chen Jie just like that?
"Boss Xiao, do your words still count?" Chen Jie looked at Xiao Ding and asked.
Xiao Ding gave a wry smile, "Brother Chen, you could have dealt with Kong Lou from the beginning, couldn't you?"
Chen Jie replied, "Do you have a problem with that?"
"No, no. Miss Wang, I didn't expect you to find such a fiancé who is proficient in hidden weapons! Congratulations..."
Xiao Ding said bitterly.
If Chen Jie had acted sooner, he might not have lost so many subordinates today.
But now, he didn't dare to raise any objections to Chen Jie.
Wang Xiaoyan looked at Chen Jie with surprise and joy, then nodded, "Thank you!"
"Brother Chen, you need to be careful!" Xiao Ding suddenly said to Chen Jie with a serious expression.
