What's going on?" The person in charge of reception was filled with confusion.
"Who are they waiting for?"
His gaze quickly searched the crowd and soon locked onto two locations: where Third Master Ning of the Ning Family and Fifth Master Zhou of the Zhou Family were standing.
"So both families have come..."
This wasn't the first time the cruise auction had been held. As the person in charge of reception, he was very familiar with the various factions in the Pu Region. It would be reasonable if people didn't dare to board because the Zhou Family and the Ning Family hadn't arrived, but now that the Zhou Family and the Ning Family were here, why were these people still not boarding? Who else could they be waiting for?
Moreover, he noticed that even the people from the Zhou Family and the Ning Family seemed to be waiting.
"Some leader... No! They wouldn't attend an auction... Then who could it be?" He was completely baffled.
...Waiting for whom? Naturally, they were waiting for Qin Jiang!
Why had these big shots, who originally had no intention of attending the auction, suddenly decided to come? It was because they learned that Qin Jiang would be attending this auction, and they came specifically to pay their respects.
Everyone knew that Qin Jiang's future status in the Pu Region would be incomparable, and he would hold immense influence.
Furthermore, the incident with Rong Xing had shown them that Qin Jiang was absolutely ruthless and decisive.
Even if they couldn't gain any benefits from such a big shot, it was best to make an appearance and build some rapport; that was never a bad thing. But you couldn't just shamelessly visit him, as that would seem too deliberate. Plus, it was said that Qin Jiang would leave the Pu Region after the auction, and who knew when he would come back.
So... who would dare to miss this unique opportunity?
This was the reason why all these big shots came to participate in the auction; they weren't here to bid on artifacts, but to befriend Qin Jiang... Since Qin Jiang hadn't arrived yet, how could they board the ship? That wouldn't be befriending him; that would be a slap in the face!
Moreover, hadn't they seen that the people from the Ning Family and even the Zhou Family hadn't boarded yet? On what grounds should they board...
When faced with the invitation from the person in charge of reception to board the cruise ship, absolutely no one paid any attention; they were all whispering to each other.
The person in charge of reception: "Um... everyone! The banquet upstairs is already being prepared. Ladies and gentlemen, you can board the ship and wait first..."
Hmph! Still, no one paid him any attention!
At this point, even if the person in charge of reception were stupid, he could see that something was wrong. They were definitely waiting for someone... Who on earth were they waiting for... But in public, he couldn't ask anything, so he could only stand there, maintaining a smile, and wait as well...
Time passed... The crowd of onlookers grew larger. Facing the various big shots of the Pu Region, they pointed and whispered:
"Why haven't these people boarded the cruise ship yet? Didn't that person just invite them? Why hasn't anyone moved..."
"It looks like they're waiting for someone? But who are they waiting for... What kind of figure is worth so many big shots waiting for..."
"Yeah! Even people from the two major families of the Pu Region are waiting... What kind of sacred figure is it? I don't get it..."
The onlookers were speculating. The people on the cruise ship were speculating as well!
White Whip: "Who do you think they're waiting for..." Black Blade: "Not sure! But their status and position are definitely not simple..." White Whip: "No kidding..."
Just as everyone was getting impatient, suddenly, someone pointed into the distance and exclaimed: "Look! A badass motorcade is coming!"
A motorcade? What kind of motorcade is worth you shouting about? Badass? What the hell! Weren't the motorcades of the many big shots just now badass enough? But when they turned their gaze, their eyes widened in unison.
They saw a motorcade consisting of dozens of uniform, pure black luxury cars approaching from the distance. Dozens of luxury cars weren't much in the Pu Region, and in the eyes of these top big shots, they weren't much either. But don't forget, what place is this? This is where people came to attend the cruise auction. There were many big shots attending, but basically, they only brought two or three cars. The cruise auction had a limit on the number of people, so it was impossible for everyone to bring a huge group of people on board. But now, someone had arrived with a whole motorcade, so how could it not be shocking?
Boom... The motorcade stopped in front of everyone.
The next moment, bang! Bang! Bang! Car doors opened one after another, and young men in black formal wear with cold expressions stepped out. They stood straight, eyes fixed forward, and after getting out, they quickly gathered on both sides of the car in the center.
This scene made many people's eyes flicker with doubt and shock.
White Whip: "What the f*ck? So many men in black? Wait... why does this scene look so familiar..." Black Blade: "It looks familiar to me too..."
The two of them instantly recalled the scene of Qin Jiang's entrance they had once seen in front of a real estate development in the North. That scene couldn't just be called similar; it was exactly the same.
But this is the Pu Region, not the North? Could it be someone of the same type as Qin Jiang? Probably... Or could it be that he really...
Just as their thoughts were racing, bang! Zhao Shanhe opened the car door, and Qin Jiang, dressed in pure black formal attire with a cold expression, stepped out of the car.
Dozens of Black Dragon Personnel on both sides bowed their heads in unison: "Brother Jiang!" "Brother Jiang!" "..."
This shout resounded across the pier!
The big shots:... White Whip, Black Blade: δ ( ´ д ｀; ) ( ⊙ _ ◎ ) Onlookers: ( = ﾟ Д ﾟ = ) ( ᵒ ̤ ̑ ₀ ̑ ᵒ ̤ ̑ ) wow! * ✰ ( ☉ _ ☉ )
White Whip: "It's really him? What is he doing in the Pu Region? Traveling? Sightseeing..." Black Blade: "I think he's here to attend the auction." White Whip:... "He's still so good at posturing. Even in the Pu Region, he sets up this kind of display. He really has posturing engraved in his bones."
Black Blade couldn't help but nod. He had traveled all over the country over the years and had seen countless people, but this was the first time he had seen someone who was constantly posturing like Qin Jiang. It was definitely impressive enough to be unforgettable.
Black Blade: "But to posture like this in such a setting? With so many big shots from the Pu Region here, isn't he provoking them..." White Whip: "! This isn't his home base. Won't those big shots mock him? Given his personality, won't he end up fighting with those big shots?"
Black Blade: "Surely not..." The two of them couldn't stop imagining those big shots from the Pu Region mocking Qin Jiang, and then Qin Jiang just starting a fight... That would really be a huge show...
Meanwhile, the onlookers were also shocked and vocalizing: "Holy sh*t! Who is this guy? I've never seen someone so good at posturing..."
"He's basically the new generation's king of posturing! So young? Whose rich second generation is this? So ignorant? Doesn't he know what place this is? With so many top big shots here, is it his turn to posture..."
"Just watch! Those top big shots will definitely give him a reality check and let him know who's boss..." Many people subconsciously started to mock and sneer.
But there were also people from the Pu Region who seemed to have guessed his identity: "He... could he be Qin Chenjiang!"
Qin Chenjiang? Who is that?... Before anyone could answer him, the next moment, a scene that shocked everyone appeared: They saw...
