Before Chou could finish his sentence, Sunny interrupted him. She gave a cold stare at him and said, "Shut up. Do your duty well, and don't ask too many questions!"
Chou got nervous instantly and knelt down in a rush. He gave himself two hard slaps on the face and said hurriedly, "I'm wrong. Please don't be angry, Master Sunny!"
Sunny waved her hand and said, "It's alright. Get up. From now on, you have to do your best to assist Little Young Master and continue hiding his identity so that people from the organization won't find him out, got it?"
"Yes, Madam Sunny!"
After a pause, Chou thought of something and said, "Master Sunny, in fact, some time ago, Little Young Master met someone from the organization…"
"What?!" For the first time, Sunny showed a shocked expression. Her eyes widened, and she began to exude an overwhelming aura, which almost suffocated Chou. He felt as if he was pinned under a mountain, while his bones couldn't bear the weight, cracking.
Chou explained at once, "Master Sunny, don't worry. I killed that man with a slap, and Little Young Master's identity was not disclosed."
Sunny recovered immediately and said with a frown, "Tell me what happened."
Chou told the story of Raven instantly with scrupulous attention to detail. After that, he added, "Little Young Master is a great martial artist now, and Raven is no match for him. He has a promising future, but the only thing is that Little Young Master is too merciful. If I hadn't appeared in time that day, Little Young Master would have released Raven. In that case, the consequences would be too ghastly to imagine."
Sunny heard that, and something odd was gleaming in her eyes. She said with a smile, "I know this guy, Raven. He is a man of mediocre talent, and can only be considered a good-for-nothing in the organization. But to ordinary people, he is also a top master that no one can match. It didn't occur to me that he was actually defeated by Tom. It seems that I've underestimated this fellow's talent. In this case, maybe I can carry out the plan in advance…"
Sunny said her last remark in a low voice with a meaningful look on her face.
...
A few days had passed in a blink. During this period of time, Tom had kept himself busy and been trying to get information about Purification Pill via his own means.
To him, Purification Pill was something he had never heard of before. It was a brand new thing. Besides, he would have to take it. He could kill himself if anything went wrong, so he had to be cautious about such an important thing.
Having gone through so many hardships, Tom had developed a trait of meticulousness. Even if it was Chou who had revealed the information to him, he couldn't believe it one hundred percent. Because, first of all, Chou had lied to him before, and Tom couldn't guarantee that Chou was completely loyal to him; secondly, if Chou had got the Purification Pill's effect wrong, and thus something happened when he took it, then it was not worth it.
Therefore, Tom had to check the reality by his own means to minimize the risk!
Having learned the background information, Tom was almost certain that there was indeed a thing called Purification Pill, and it would also be effective to him.
This time, the auction was held in Phoenix with a high standard. Not everyone could participate in the auction, but it was partly open to some people in the circle. However, the so-called "circle" was not a business circle, but a unique one.
To be specific, this auction was in the gray zone. Not only antiques, calligraphy work, paintings, land were auctioned here, but some shady deals would also be made here, such as servants, beauties, rare treasures, clues to treasures and so on.
Purification Pill, to the masses, was a poison, but not a tonic.
Anyone without a spotless record or a recommendation from an insider wouldn't be able to participate in the auction.
Since Tom was recommended by Master Chou, he was qualified to participate in the auction.
The auction was held in a suburban resort in Phoenix , which covered a large area. The guests needed to park their cars in a parking lot a few hundred meters away before walking to the salesroom.
Along the way, one could see many professional security guards watching the place. Whoever dared to cause trouble here would be severely punished.
Tom could tell that this place was not ordinary at a glance. At the same time, he was getting more interested in tonight's auction.
"This is not some small auction."
