Chapter 88: Xing District - Denied by Entrance
Amidst the missing cases that caused an uproar, Xing Auction House held an auction. The auction that only involved the heroes and rankers as the items auctioned were for them to use. A high-quality Gold Class Weapons that sought by many.
It caused a tumult amongst the heroes and the rankers. Gold Class Weapon's existence was rare and hard to find, then suddenly twenty Gold Class weapons were ready to be auctioned.
Moreover, it was not the famous Vermillion Auction House who auctioned the weapon. It was an unknown auction house located in the outer region.
At first, people doubted the news, but later they found out Xing District truly existed and it was the district where Blacksmith Huang resided.
As Blacksmith Huang was quite famous in the heroes and rankers circle, they believed the auction was legit. However, the fact that a famous blacksmith lived in the outer region shocked the masses.
The public might not know who Blacksmith Huang was, but heroes and rankers knew this name. In the last Vermillion's monthly auction, he earned a name for himself and big cash, a hundred million WD.
It was enough for a famous blacksmith to get his place in the commerce region or even entered the inner region if he joined a faction that resided in the inner region. Every faction wanted to get a master as Blacksmith Huang, someone who could produce a rare Gold Class weapon.
However, why did Blacksmith Huang remained living in the outer region? This issue became a hot topic amongst the heroes and rankers circle.
Of course, Xing District held an auction, the public did not miss this issue. While many did not know who Blacksmith Huang was, there were a few knew this name. Soon, Handsome Savage Brutal's name became a hot topic once again.
There was a post from an unknown user who said that Blacksmith Huang was forced to stay by Handsome Savage Brutal. Heero's past deed resurfaced again, describing how savage Heero was.
After all, who would believe that a blacksmith that could forge a Gold Class weapon willingly to stay in the outer region? This was one of the plausible causes that made a famous blacksmith stayed in the outer region.
The post justified his claim with Heero's post. Because of the incident of the Central Government who wanted to take his district by force. He posted a picture of a certificate that proved he was the owner of the Xing District.
The post narrated that now the district belonged to Handsome Savage Brutal. He pressured Blacksmith Huang with his prowess to stay. It was the sum of the long post that unknown user.
Another round of debate started with the post as more and more people began checking who this Handsome Savage Brutal was. People began checking Handsome Savage Brutal, wanting to find out the guy who often became a trending topic.
Amidst the uproar about his move, Heero currently inside his log cabin, sitting in front of his computer. He was grinning ear to ear as he looked at the total of people visited Xing District's main forum.
The traffic reached ten million users, it was a new record. Even though most of them were visiting Miao Miao Noodles Shop's forum to check about him and his business, it was a good start to make the Xing District flourish.
That aside, he was also working with the invitation for the auction. There was a registration for people who wanted to join the auction and he put the registration in the Xing District's forum through a complicated program.
"This thing is supposed to make my words easier, but this thing is hard to use and complicated" Heero grumbled as the sound of the keyboard filled the room.
Looking at the Xing District forum's traffic was a small break for him. It somehow encouraged him for knowing his hard work was not in vain.
At the same time, the door creaked out, and Hong Yu entered the log cabin in her white and loose pajamas. She was ready to sleep, but she could not find her husband in their room. She came here to check on Heero and found Heero was still working in front of the computer.
"Dear~ are you still working? It's eleven already~ Let's sleep~"
Heero's hand stopped moving and turned around to face his beloved wife. Her sweet yet also coquettish voice aroused him, but he refrained himself as he still had work to do.
"I have to get the invitation done by tonight. You can go to sleep first~" Heero replied in a gentle tone.
Hong Yu walked closer and sat on Heero's tight. Then she looked at the three computer screens in front of her. She noticed that her husband opened Star Web and frowned upon the view of one post.
The post that slandered her husband, as his wife, of course, she did not like her husband being slandered like this, "This guy, why do they keep slandering you!?"
Hong Yu's movement made Heero lost his will to continue his work. A familiar pleasant fragrance entered his nose, then he put his hand around his wife's waist and had his chin rested on his wife's shoulder as he replied.
"It's okay, dear. No harm inflicted on me, instead, they are doing a good deed for us, for the Xing District,"
Then, Heero moved his hand to the mouse and showed his wife the traffic of the Xing District's Forum that bloated in visitors.
Sure enough, Hong Yu was surprised with her hand covered her opened jaw. She just could not believe that Xing District was famous to get ten million visitors in a day. Then, she felt there was a hand snuck into her pajamas.
Of course, she knew it was her husband doing. Still, on her husband's lap, she turned around to face her husband and teasingly snickered, "Heh, heh, Don't you still have work?"
Pasting his face on her wife's chest, Heero replied straightforwardly, "But my wife is more important than my work"
With that said, Heero planted a kiss on Hong Yu's lips. After a short kiss, Hong Yu raised her hand and Heero moved accordingly. He pulled his wife's loose pajama and black-lace bra came into view.
Heero rose from the seat and brought his wife to the bed and soon, pleased moan filled the air.

Three days later
Xing Auction House's first auction would be held tonight in Xing District. This auction brought no small wave upon the heroes and rankers circle. Unfortunately, Xing Auction only invited three hundred people for the first auction.
So, only the people who registered their names in Xing District's Forum that could get the invitation. Nonetheless, even without invitations, many heroes and rankers came to Xing District.
Located not far from Miao Miao Noodles Shop, a well-decorated building which was also the place for tonight's auction, Xing Auction House. At the entrance, there were three men with a neat outfit stood.
Fatty Liang, Sun Zhou Yi, and Butcher Wang served as the guards for tonight's auction. Despite being promoted to Gold Class Hero - Rank 1, Sun Zhou Yi's was quite idle as a hero.
As Gold Class Hero, he did not need to take a low-rank mission like before. He would receive a task from the Hero League directly, but the Hero League had not trusted a task yet. His daily activity did not change much as Gold Class Hero, training and helping his Master.
Eight in the evening, the Xing District was crowded by visitors. Of course, most of these visitors were heroes and rankers who came to attend the auction.
Butcher Wang and Fatty Liang stood in the front while Sun Zhou Yi on their backs, shadowed by Fatty Liang and sturdy Butcher Wang, Sun Zhou Yi had his head hung down as he played with his smartwatch.
The auction started at eight-thirty and it was still half an hour until the auction started. It was still half an hour before the auction, but there was still no one coming.
"Huh, it seems the first auction will fail" Butcher Wang muttered in a low voice. It was natural for Butcher Wang to have a thought like this. The district was crowded, but none of them had the intention to join the auction as these people just loitering around.
After a moment of boredom, Butcher Wang noticed three people were coming. Three men who looked in their early thirties heading toward him. Based on the neat and luxurious outfit, he thought these three coming for the auction.
To his surprise, the three men ignored him and Fatty Liang's gesture. These three intended to force their way into the auction house.
'The auction has not started yet, but the troublemaker appears already'
With an annoyed look on his face, Butcher Wang moved to the door and blocked the three men. Still, with a forced polite smile, Butcher Wang spoke as he opened his smartwatch, "Sir, please show your invitation."
What he got was a frown from the man in the middle. It seemed he was displeased, but Butcher Wang did not care. He just did his task as Heero instructed him to.
"We don't have the invitation! Just a low-class auction house, is an invitation needed?" the man on the left sneered in response.
'Sigh, it seems the new dungeon will be filled by tonight' thought Butcher Wang as he looked these three men in a pity. He had seen the past offenders, they were not tortured, but he thought it was worse than torture.
Shaking his head, he denied the three men to enter, "I am sorry, Sir. If you don't have an invitation, you can't enter and join the auction."
As soon as they heard the rejection from Butcher Wang, the two men on his left and right seemed furious. It showed on their faces and one of them threateningly bellowed at him, "Do you know who is he? He is the eldest young master of Ming Group!"
"Eldest Young Master of Ming Group?" Butcher Wang blurted in wonder.
The two men took that as Butcher Wang was afraid of Ming Group, "Yes, he is" Having not finished his words, Butcher Wang cut him off with a statement that pissed them off.
"What a weird title you have there!" Butcher Wang responded that infuriated the three men. Just before a man lashed at him again, Butcher Wang pointed toward Sun Zhou Yi, "Do you know him? He is our head, so if you want to complain, you can go to him!"
Then the three men looked at where Butcher Wang pointed out. They found a young in his early twenties who also stared at them. Three of them recognized this man, a newly promoted Gold Class Hero - Rank 1, a man who stopped Level 10 Calamity alone, Sun Zhou Yi.
The two infuriated men gulped in fear. If what the rough security was true, then they just offended Gold Class Hero - Rank 1. Sun Zhou Yi's face was all over on media, news, forum, or even newspapers. So they instantly recognized Sun Zhou Yi.
"Let's leave!" The man called Eldest Young Master of Ming Group said and turned around. Even with his identity, he did not dare to offend Sun Zhou Yi. The man that was on par with Emperor Class Hero and would be an Emperor Class in the future.
Looking at the three men left, Butcher Wang smirked, "Heh, just like Heero said, You will be handy if trouble arises,"
The surrounding also began noticing Sun Zhou Yi's presence which was earlier shadowed by Fatty Liang and Butcher Wang. It caused a small commotion amongst the crowd.
As the commotion could be heard amongst the crowd, three people stepped out and headed toward the auction house. An old man and two young girls.
An Old Man with a gray hair in a neat suit, but did not lose his sharpness despite his old-age. The Old Man accompanied by two young girls wearing similar blue dresses.
Butcher Wang recognized two of them. He recognized the old man and the young girl who had a frosty look, Bai Xian Ming and Bai Xin Yue. He did not know the other girls, but she might be a close relative of these two as well.
"Yo, Little Sun, we are not too late yet, right?" Bai Xiang Ming casually greeted Sun Zhou Yi. Bai Xin Yue gave a slight nod and Bai Shuang'er waved her hand toward Sun Zhou Yi's cheerfully.
"Good evening, Executive Bai. You are not late, it's still half an hour until the auction start," Sun Zhou Yi politely replied with a slight bow. He also returned the two girls' greeting with a nod.
Bai Xian Ming waved his hand as a wide smile plastered on his face, "There's no need to be formal with me. You can call me Grandpa Bai or Old Man Bai will do. We are not in a formal meeting or work, so don't need to be so formal,"
"Alright, Executive Bai," Sun Zhou Yi replied in the same manner as before which left Bai Xian Ming speechless.
Amidst the friendly talk, Butcher Wang chimed in, "Sir and Miss, Please show your invitation,"
He motioned to the three to show the invitation as he opened his smartwatch. The invitation was in a digital format, what he needed to do was to scan the invitation sent by Heero to the people who had registered.
Bai Xin Yue frowned at Butcher Wang, but she still showed the invitation to him. She unlocked her smartwatch and showed it to Butcher Wang. On the screen, there was a card with "Xing" written on it.
Butcher Wang scanned the picture with his smartwatch. With a beep sound, there was data appeared in his smartwatch. He nodded his head and proceeded to another young girl.
He repeated the process and with a beep sound, the identification was done. Until it reached the old man's turn, but Bai Xin Yue spoke first with her cold tone, "He is with us!"
However, Butcher Wang shook his head, "I am sorry, Miss. People with no invitation could not join the auction" as soon as he said this, the friendly atmosphere was broken. With him coldly being staring by Bai Xin Yue, he added, "At least, it was what told to me" he shot a glance toward Sun Zhou Yi.
As Bai Xian Ming was truly a big figure, he thought they could call Heero to make an exception. The most influential executive from the Hero League, it could also boost the auction house's name.
Looking at Bai Xian Ming for a moment, Sun Zhou Yi nodded, "Wait a moment, I will call my Mast the master of Xing Auction House,"
With that, Heero called his master and the call immediately connected. The talk was short, greeting his master and Sun Zhou Yi directly asked whether Bai Xian Ming could join the auction without an invitation.
"Alright!" Sun Zhou Yi ended the call fast while Bai Xian Ming and Bai Xin Yue secretly exchanged a glance.
"Executive Bai, I am sorry, you can't participate in the auction without an invitation,"
