Chapter 489: Power of Black Card (2/2)

The manager sighed when he saw his subordinate being slapped by the Chief. He thanked his lucky stars that he had a good relationship with the Chief. Had that not been the case, he would've been the one to get slapped like that.

The three people rushed outside. Mo's friend, understanding the urgency of the situation, ran as fast as he could. He was not at all pleased to be slapped in the face but judging from the chief's tone, he knew she would really kill him if he didn't rush.

Everyone in the Auction House admired the Chief. She was a beauty that everyone wanted to be with. Not only was she smart, but she was also powerful.

This Chief of theirs was way out of reach of the lower echelons. They never had the chance to see her except when she hosted the auction events. They envied the only few who had the power to meet her and the manager was one of them.

So, Mo's friend could not believe that the manager directly went to bother the chief who was at the top for something he thought was a trivial matter. Had he known the importance, he would've been careful with his words and also been more cautious.

Mo's friend cursed Mo in his heart and swore to pay him back for the problems he had caused today. Just the fact that he had been slapped not once but twice by the beautiful Chief further fueled his anger toward Mo.

The three finally reached the place where Mo and just as the chief saw Mo, she walked towards him. She took a deep breath and put on a smile. Then she politely asked, "Does this card belong to you?"

Mo was surprised to see the esteemed chief of the auction house arrive in person and stand right in front of him. He had heard that she was a great beauty but it was for the first time that he saw her.

'Oh no? Is the card really fake? Is she here in person to apprehend me for trying to scam the Auction House?'

This thought crossed his mind as he could not think of any other reason why the Chief of the Auction House would come out herself. Mo looked at her polite smile which seemed to be mocking him and immediately decided to shirk the responsibility.

"No, Madam. I am not a scammer to make such fake cards and–"

SLAP!

Before Mo could finish his sentence, he felt a stinging sensation on his cheeks. The chief had closed in on Mo and slapped his face, hard.

"What!?"

Mo was surprised and angry, but most of all he was bewildered by the sudden slap. Before he could recover his wits, she held him by his collar and glared at him with her blazing eyes.

"How dare you call this a fake? And who gave you the authority to say whether this is the real deal or not? Who the hell are you, anyways?"

After her rant, she let go of his collar and searched for the possible owner of the Black Card in the crowd with anxious eyes. She really wasn't in a good mood right now. Her life was on the line and so was the auction house that she had painstakingly built from nothing.

Mo regained his wits and his nostrils flared from anger. He was pissed and humiliated to be slapped for no reason. Still, he tried to be polite and voice his complaints.

"M-madam… you cannot simply slap–"

SLAP!

Once again his sentence was interrupted by a soft palm landing on his furry cheeks.

"Don't speak unless asked to." The Chief ordered in a cold voice as she flared a little bit of her aura. She was way stronger than Mo and could kill him if she wanted to, so he could only swallow his complaints.

'Why is this happening!?' Mo cursed in his mind and looked at his friend who was standing by the side. He too had swollen red cheeks and a gloating smirk on his face. Mo's Friend was feeling refreshed now that the one who caused his suffering also received the same treatment.

The chief could not find anyone who may be the original owner of the Card among her other guests so she turned her attention back to Mo.

"How long has it been since you received the Card? And what did the person want? Money? The auction house? Or something from the auction house?"

As the Chief waved the Card in front of his eyes, anxiety crept into her voice.

Mo's mouth opened in shock when he heard the chief ask such questions. It seemed like whatever Lith asked for, the Chief would really give it to him; Even the Auction House!

The auction house was something this lady would never sell but why was she asking whether Lith wanted it?

Mo had no idea what was happening but he also didn't dawdle. He immediately answered the chief, knowing he would be slapped again if he asked something stupid.

"It has been an hour since the card was given to me. The person asked me to buy the most expensive treasure from the auction house and bring it to him."

After he finishes speaking, he sighed in relief knowing the questionnaire was over. But right then…

SLAP!

The chief threw out another slap and scolded,

"What were you doing for an hour, you idiot! Do you have any idea what the consequences of making such a person wait are?"

She turned back and rushed inside the auction house, while loudly cursing, "Bloody hell! This place is full of idiots!"

As the Chief opened the door to the treasure room, she ordered Mo, "Stay right where you are until I return!" Then she closed the door behind her.

Silence befell the place after she was gone.

Mo, his friend, his two companions, and the manager were looking at each other silently.

Mo and his friend's cheeks were red and swollen, indicating what had just transpired. They both were questioning what wrong they had committed to deserve the slaps from the beautiful woman.

The two companions of Mo could barely suppress their snicker after seeing him get slapped. They had no idea what happened and neither did they understand the gravity of the situation, but they sure had fun watching the show.

As for the manager, he was really relieved once again knowing he had a good relationship with the chief. Had that not been the case, it would've been him who would've gotten beaten up first.

The chief was from a powerful family that lived in the capital of Shiroi Neko. They were one of the top five families directly under the Beast Emperor and thus were someone people didn't dare to offend.

This family would send their family members out to adventure once they were of age. They were asked to make achievements of their own and become independent.

Once they were successful, they could come back to the capital to be recognized by the family. Only after they were recognized were they allowed entry into the family gatherings.

The chief had thus painstakingly created her auction house after many hardships and was back in the family. She now had the full backing of her family and held great power in her hands.

Nobody dared to offend her for this reason and even Mo could only let her slap him as much as she wanted without resisting.

Soon, the chief came out of the treasure room holding a small jar in her hand and ordered Mo, "Take me to the cardholder as fast as you can. Now!"

Mo didn't dare to disobey and they left the auction house to meet Lith and his friends.
