Supreme Dragon Lord-Chapter 341: Bluster!

The middle-aged man was unimpressed. "Young man, your Phantom Pattern Pill is quite good, but it pales in comparison to Young Master Yang’s Purple Flame Pill—and not just by a small margin. Moreover, our agreement was only verbal and not yet finalized, so I have the right to do as I please with my fragment. I can sell it to whomever I want, and since this is Young Master Yang Chen of the Chengxuan Auction House, I certainly can’t afford to slight him."

"So, my apologies," he finished. "If I get the chance, I’ll find some other fine goods for you next time."

Yang Chen chuckled, staring at Long Chen with pure disdain. "Kid, don’t overestimate yourself. There’s nothing this young master has ever wanted that he couldn’t get. Take your Phantom Pattern Pill and disappear from my sight. This fragment is mine."

Long Chen scoffed. "It’s just a single Purple Flame Pill that hasn’t even reached Superior Quality. I have no idea where you get the confidence to posture like this."

"Impudent!"

"How audacious!"

Seeing Long Chen dare to belittle Yang Chen, his two followers immediately snapped at him.

Yang Chen sneered at Long Chen. "Did you just say my Purple Flame Pill is nothing special? Don’t tell me you have an elixir pill better than mine?"

In his mind, the Phantom Pattern Pill was already the best someone like Long Chen could possibly produce. It was impossible for him to have anything better.

The middle-aged man’s gaze also landed on Long Chen, his thoughts echoing Yang Chen’s.

Long Chen ignored Yang Chen and turned his eyes to the middle-aged man. "I can offer an elixir pill of much higher quality in exchange for this fragment."

"Really?" Although the middle-aged man was skeptical at first, his eyes lit up upon hearing Long Chen’s declaration.

"Of course," Long Chen affirmed with absolute certainty.

PFFT!

Hearing this, Yang Chen and his followers couldn’t help but burst out laughing. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

"You?" one of them jeered. "Be careful you don’t bite your tongue making such boasts!"

Yang Chen waved a dismissive hand, his eyes brimming with contempt. "And don’t say I’m using my status to bully you. I can compete with you fairly. If you can produce an elixir pill better than mine, I will gladly give you this fragment. But if you can’t, you will kneel and be my obedient dog from now on!"

"Fine. Remember what you just said," Long Chen replied directly. "But you’re not worthy to have me as your dog. If you lose, you just have to bark a few times in front of everyone."

HISS!

The crowd gasped in unison.

No one had expected Long Chen to not only dare to offend Yang Chen to his face but to also make a bet that would force him to bark in public. Madness! This was utter madness! Who was Yang Chen? He was the young heir of the Chengxuan Auction House! In this town, he was a notoriously spoiled tyrant! Anyone who offended him met a terrible end. In their eyes, Long Chen was a dead man.

"You worthless trash!"

"Who the hell do you think you are?!"

"How dare you act so presumptuously before our young master!"

"It seems you’re one of those who won’t cry until you see the coffin!" one of Yang Chen’s men roared.

Long Chen just chuckled. "If you’re too scared to compete, then just say so. In that case, the fragment belongs to me."

"This kid is like a newborn calf that doesn’t fear the tiger!"

"He dares to disrespect Young Master Yang again and again... But seeing how confident he is, could he actually have something to back it up?"

The crowd broke into a flurry of discussion.

A cold smirk played on Yang Chen’s lips. "Kid, you asked for this! I’d like to see what gives you the guts to challenge me! I accept your terms."

"Very good," Long Chen said with a faint smile. "Remember what you just said. Don’t go back on your word, or else—"

"Cut the crap!" Yang Chen interrupted impatiently. "Get on with it! Don’t even think about stalling for time!"

"Since you’re so eager to kneel," Long Chen chuckled, "I’ll grant your wish!"

He then reached into his spatial ring and pulled out an elixir pill. An incredibly rich pill fragrance instantly filled the air, refreshing the senses of everyone present!

The moment the pill appeared, the entire room fell into shocked silence, expressions of utter disbelief on every face.

Only the middle-aged man recovered quickly, his eyes shining brightly as he stared intently at the pill in Long Chen’s hand.

"Is... is that a Blood Recovery Pill? And it’s a Superior Quality Pill Medicine?!"

His words jolted everyone from their stupor.

SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!

Instantly, dozens of gazes locked onto the Blood Recovery Pill. A rich fragrance wafted from it, and the pill itself radiated a dazzling light!

Only a Superior Quality Pill Medicine could have such an effect! This truly was a Superior Quality Pill Medicine!

How is this possible?! Surprise flickered through Yang Chen’s mind; he couldn’t believe it.

"Why shouldn’t it be possible?" Long Chen sneered. "Or are you simply blind with arrogance? The elixir pill I’ve produced is of a much higher quality than your Purple Flame Pill. It’s time for you to fulfill your promise."

Yang Chen’s face turned incredibly ugly. He had only brought that one pill with him, certain it would be enough to secure the fragment. He never imagined Long Chen would produce something of such high quality.

Seeing Yang Chen’s silence, Long Chen taunted, "What, are you going to go back on your word?"

My heavens! I can’t believe this kid actually won! Will Young Master Yang really honor his promise? No way! Even if he loses the bet, he wouldn’t actually bark in public, right?!

The crowd’s murmurs reached Yang Chen’s ears, each word grating on his nerves.

Long Chen extended his hand. "That fragment should be mine now."

Yang Chen’s face darkened as he snorted, "Kid, do you know who I am? I’m the heir of the Chengxuan Auction House. Do you have any idea what the consequences are for offending me?"

Long Chen, however, was completely unfazed. "Stop trying to scare me with your title! All I know is that we made a bet, and you lost! Since you lost, you have to own up to it!"

Yang Chen was utterly enraged.

"Fine! Very good!" he seethed. "Kid, you’re determined to be shameless, aren’t you? In that case, I’m done playing games with you. Let me make this perfectly clear: I am taking this fragment, and no one is going to stop me!"

Yang Chen’s angry shouts echoed as he waved at his two followers. "I am in a very foul mood today. Cripple his hands and throw him out on the street!"
