As soon as Ryan finished speaking, the auction hall fell into deathly silence.

It was as if a huge bell was struck in everyone's heart.

The tense atmosphere made everyone afraid to even breathe deeply.

Even Qi Meng on the auction table had her smile slightly stiffened, and she wondered in disbelief whether she had just heard it wrong.

Teddy's muscles were tense at this moment, and he stared at Jonas intently, fearing that Jonas would suddenly attack.

Ivan, a member of the royal family, immediately stood up from his seat upon hearing this. From the shocked expression on his face, it was easy to tell that he was in turmoil.

Ivan stared at Ryan with a slight frown.

This Ryan is too murderous, actually preparing to kill a marquis in such a situation!?

I opened my mouth to say something but nothing came out.

Because Ivan couldn't do anything. After all, how could a fourth-level warrior like him stop the battle of the upper-level warriors? Just by talking?

Even if they want to stop it, at least two emperors of the first or seventh rank will be needed to come in person.

So he could only pray silently in his heart that no one would really fight.

All the nobles present were terrified by what Ryan had just said.

He was afraid that if they really started fighting, Ryan would dislike him and fight him too.

Since we have already killed the Marquis, it would be okay to kill one or two Viscounts to liven things up.

Suddenly, the door of Ryan's room was kicked open.

With a bang, the door fell to the ground heroically.

The voice arrives before the person arrives.

"What are you doing, little bastard!?"

Ford pushed open the door and walked in.

The appearance of Ford immediately raised the temperature in the auction hall and broke the previous deadlock.

Ford coughed twice, walked to Ryan and slowly pressed the button to close the partition.

"Everyone, continue. This kid Ryan doesn't know how to do anything light or small. You guys continue. I'll talk to him."

As the Gray family opens the stage the partition closes.

The petty nobles below all breathed a sigh of relief.

Ivan slowly sat back in his seat.

Teddy relaxed his muscles.

No one had ever seen Ford, a rough guy, so intimate.

A voice came to Qi Meng's ears, immediately bringing her back to her senses.

"Everyone, although there were some minor incidents, it's all over."

"The Anderson family has just decided to offer a 10% discount on every pound of the auction price. This is to comfort everyone."

"The next item for auction is the Siren Stone..."

…

In the Gray family stands.

"Father, why are you back?" Ryan asked Cecily to get up from his lap and look at Ford beside him.

After putting down the wine glass in his hand, Ryan slowly stood up.

"Hmph~ My heart was pounding and my eyelids were twitching the whole way here. I knew you were going to cause trouble at the auction this time."

Ford seemed to be in a hurry and slowly poured himself a glass of red wine to quench his thirst.

But drinking one glass of water didn't help, so I had to pour myself another glass of water.

"As soon as I arrived at the auction, I saw you trying to kill Teddy."

Ford sat on the sofa and looked at Ryan.

"Yes, I fucking want to kill him too, but this is a private situation. There's no reason, no logic, what can I use to kill him?"

"Do you think the marquis's clothes are just for show?"

Ryan curled his lips immediately and said, "Kill him if you want. Even if it's not right, so what? My fist is bigger and that's right."

"Even if the Empire pursues the matter later, Teddy is dead. Will the royal family cause trouble for our Grey Family over a dead man?"

Listening to Ryan's twisted logic, Ford's mouth twitched.

"Yes, no one would bother my Grey family over a dead person, and the same goes for the royal family."

"But, Ryan, don't you think about it? If we really did that, how would that violate the laws of the Empire?"

"We will kill anyone who provokes us. Even if the royal family doesn't pursue us, our Gray family will slowly disappear from history."

"Don't make yourself enemies all over the world. Nobles are not about fighting and killing, but about human relationships and worldly wisdom."
