Chapter 7

The visitor was wearing a meticulous white-gold robe, with long silver-white hair flowing down behind him like a waterfall. He had a pair of monocles on the bridge of his nose, and his narrow eyes hidden behind the lenses stared at the people present. From there,

The words that came out of his thin lips made people tremble with fear.

"Lord City Lord!" Hollas and Manager Carat took the lead in kneeling down on one knee. Except for Qiao Nan, everyone else and even ordinary people further away also knelt down to show respect for the City Lord.

Among these people, only Qiao Nan is still standing.

"Hello, Mr. City Lord." Qiao Nan didn't mean to kneel down. He just performed the etiquette among nobles. His manners were adequate, but Norman could see that this man did not respect him and did not treat him well.

Put it in your own eyes.

As for him stealing his own wallet... that is even more nonsense.

Noel was very sure that he had never seen this child.

At least it looks like this is just a young adventurer.

But that’s not what the data says.

This person is Joe.

You won't admit your mistake.

"Lord City Lord, this boy has your pattern on his wallet and storage bag." Edman spoke first, "Dear Lord City Lord, is this person a relative of yours?"

Noel glanced at Qiao Nan and shook his head slowly.

He is indeed not his relative... but his teacher.

"Since he is not your relative, his identity as a thief is unmistakable." Adelman raised his head and only looked at Qiao Nan from the corner of his eyes, not taking Qiao Nan to heart at all.

In his heart, Qiao Nan is just a thief in skin.

As a businessman, Edelman is definitely not stupid, or in other words, he did this deliberately at the auction site.

Maybe it was just to teach this kid a lesson at first, but when he saw Qiao Nan's money bag and storage bag, he had another idea.

This idea may be ridiculous and unbelievable, but if used well, his plan can take a big step forward.

"Is he actually a thief?"

The auction has ended, and the members who were still participating in the auction filed out of the door. However, they did not expect to see the city lord who had never seen the dragon, and Hollas who was surrounded in the middle.

And the young man who dared to openly oppose Hollas.

When Edman said this, the time was just right. He was stuck when the large army was walking outside. In addition, the city lord and the manager of the auction were both here, which immediately attracted the attention of most people.

"What, is it stolen money?" Edelman's words immediately caused the crowd to explode.

The people who can participate in the auction are all relatively well-known people in various industries. In addition to their status, one thing they have in common is that they are all rich.

You must know that in order to prevent someone from disturbing the order of the auction, the auction will determine the net worth of the other party before entering the auction. Only those with a net worth of more than 100,000 gold coins can be qualified to enter the auction.

This is just the entry qualification.

His position is in the middle and front position, and it takes more than one hundred thousand gold coins to sit in this position.

At first, when Qiao Nan bought the branches of the Elf Mother Tree, many people wanted to see who this fool was. Naturally, they could see Qiao Nan's location.

"How could this happen?" The girl sitting next to Qiao Nan at the auction covered her mouth in surprise, "I thought he was very rich!"

Everyone recognized this girl as Elisa, the youngest daughter of the Byron family, another noble family in the city. If she could sit with Elisa, then the net worth of this mysterious masked man should be about the same as that of the Byron family.

The Byron family and the Horrath family are a little different. The Byron family is a long-established aristocracy, while the Horrath family is an upstart who cannot stand on the stage. Even his title was bought with money.

These nouveau riche always like to use money to do things.

However, no matter how hard they refused to admit it, they knew clearly that in terms of financial resources, the Byron family was not as good as the Hollas family. Even in the auction, the position of Hollas was higher than that of Byron.

Home should be near the front.

Of course, this is just a horizontal comparison. Compared with Hollas, Byron is definitely poor, but compared to the guys below, Byron is still an unattainable nobleman. From this, it can be imagined that Qiao Nan can sit in Yi

Next to Lisa, his wealth will definitely not be less.

Would a masked man with so much wealth really steal other people's wallets?

Everyone was sincerely suspicious.

Norman, who had been silent all this time, naturally heard everyone's discussion. He had been looking at Qiao Nan since just now. He didn't know what he was thinking about, except for the occasional glint in his brown turbid eyes.

"Hollas, do you have any evidence to prove that he stole my purse?" The discussion among the onlookers became more and more heated. Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, Norman frowned and spoke to stop everyone's discussion.

This is such an ugly thing to say!

He looked uncontrollably at the man standing next to him. His thin body seemed to be weighed down by a mountain because of the pain and grievances these guys made.

Why did you come so late?

Obviously I could have come earlier.

It's just that Norman understands Qiao Nan's character and doesn't want him to interfere with his own character, so... he doesn't dare to directly block everyone's mouths.

Norman clasped his hands together, and the index finger of his right hand tapped the back of his left hand regularly. He pinched his fingers to suppress the slightly trembling movements.

Hollas was stunned, as if he didn't expect that Norman would ask himself. In his opinion, Norman was the lord of Bangal City. No matter whether it was true or not, he would always favor their own people.

What's more, doesn't the city lord know best whether he has lost his money bag?

Even though he was wrongly accused, Qiao Nan still stood there with a smile and did not argue with Edelman. Instead, he listened with interest to what those people said about him.

How should I put it, I still miss it a bit.

Just because you have wealth that seems inconsistent with your status, you will be slandered by them out of jealousy.

It's just the jealousy of the incompetent.

As for the money bag he was carrying...

The patterns on his money bag and storage bag are the royal crest of the current human empire: the Elliot family.

Also his disciple: the family crest of Norman Elliott.

His disciple Norman is the eldest son of the current emperor. He has two sisters, two younger brothers and a sister. Logically speaking, the first heir is Norman's two sisters, but in Norman

When he was seven years old, his two sisters died one after another, and only Norman could legitimately inherit the position of heir.

It's a pity that Norman has loved learning since he was a child and was very interested in magic and various formations. He even became a disciple of Qiao Nan at that time and learned the most profound magic in the world from Qiao Nan.

Norman, who was obsessed with studying, naturally did not want to stay on the throne, so he directly gave the position of emperor to his younger brother Duke, while Norman stayed in the empire as a mascot and enjoyed worship.

As the prince's teacher, Qiao Nan's food, clothing, housing and transportation were all handled by the royal family's team.

After Norman turned thirteen, he took over everything.

From headwear to shoes, everything is taken care of by his disciples. The little prince, who has never had to endure hardships since childhood, likes to hold fabrics and various accessories during his breaks, thinking about how to make them look good, and also thinking about how to embroider.

Produce beautiful patterns.

Later, he also learned to break up the family pattern and blend it into the pattern of his clothes. His skills were even better than that of the little girl.

But...the current Norman...should not have been born yet.

"Just ask him to take out his wallet and look at it. As long as the pattern is the same as yours, it can prove everything." Edelman said.

Qiao Nan chuckled.

"What an ignorant guy. It's really sad to have a noble like you in Bangal City."

Norman coughed, not wanting to admit that Edman was from Bangal City.

He had already cleaned out the decadent nobles in Bangal City, but he didn't expect that there would still be fish that slipped through the net.

It's really... embarrassing to myself.

Norman has given this guy his own sentence. By the end of today, the surname Hollas will disappear from Bangal City.

The man's gaze fell on Qiao Nan's mask, and there seemed to be some complicated nostalgia in his eyes. When Qiao Nan followed his gaze, he continued: "God will not wrong any good person, of course.

, and will not let any bad guy go... I hope... to take a look at your wallet.

He looked at Qiao Nan, who touched the fingers of his left hand with his right hand and took out a palm-sized money bag from the storage ring.

This money bag is naturally a space magic weapon, but the capacity is not large and can only be used to hold dead objects, less than twenty square meters.

This money bag was specially made for Norman when he first learned space magic. It is very commemorative. Qiao Nan has been using it ever since he got it and has never changed it. But because he has never changed it,

The money bag was not in very good condition after being taken out.

No matter how carefully protected something is, it will become old after more than ten years of use. The white purse embroidered with gold patterns looks a bit dim at this time, which is not in line with his identity, let alone the wealth shown by Qiao Nan.

.

Seeing Qiao Nan take out the money bag, Edman and the onlookers showed a slightly contemptuous expression on their faces.

If you are a rich noble, why do you keep using this poor quality purse that has been used for many years?

As nobles, they must maintain their dignity at all times. They must not do anything that would disgrace the nobles. Old things that would disgrace the nobles should be thrown away directly instead of being used to embarrass them.

No wonder Hollas would say that the masked man stole other people's money, because he is simply a down-and-out poor man with no money at all!

Only Norman's hand trembled slightly when he saw the money bag, but his hand was blocked by the wide sleeves. No one but himself could notice this shock.
