Chapter 444: [444] I can help you save face_1
“You… you… brute!”
Pei Tianyuan, utterly infuriated, pointed at Tang Feng, ultimately spitting out the word “brute” before turning back to his Shengdingxuan Antique Shop.
He certainly didn’t have the strength to compete with Tang Feng, hadn’t he seen Zhao Quande and his eighteen senior appraisers all bite the dust?
Going up now would only mean handing victories to Tang Feng for free.
He swallowed his anger for now, planning to find an opportunity for revenge later.
“Master Zhao, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and fulfill your promise!”
...
Seeing Zhao Quande still standing there silently, Tang Feng had no choice but to continue urging him.
In fact, whether Zhao Quande left the antique industry or not didn’t make much of a difference to him.
But today, he had to make an example of the old man, to tell those who were still thinking of causing trouble at the Elegant Pavilion that if they were not afraid of death, they should come right ahead.
Zhao Quande’s eyes flickered and he simply played dumb, “Fulfill what promise? I don’t understand what you’re talking about.”
Tang Feng immediately sneered, “What? Are you, the number one appraiser of the antique street, going to shamelessly renege in public? You yourself said just moments ago that if you lost, you’d leave the antique industry forever. Everyone heard you loud and clear.”
“That’s right, reneging right in front of all of us, do you have no shame?”
“This guy really has some thick skin, clearly it was you who said it, and now you want to deny it?”
“We all heard it crystal clear, if you dare to go back on your word, we won’t accept it.”
“Indeed, if you dare to go back on your word in front of all of us, then we’ll all boycott together and see if you’ll still have the face to mix in the antique industry…”
The audience on site didn’t expect Zhao Quande to be so shameless as to actually try to wriggle out of his debts, how could they agree to that.
Zhao Quande was determined, too.
He had poured his life’s energy and efforts into the antique industry, and quitting would mean becoming a useless person living off his past glories.
He might as well lose his reputation rather than quit the antique industry.
Once this storm passed, people would gradually forget about today’s events, and he could make a comeback.
Having made up his mind, he continued to argue his point, “I never said I wanted to leave the antique industry. What I said was… to leave the antique ‘street’, it’s ‘street’ not ‘industry’. You heard wrong, you can’t blame me for that.”
In saying so, his voice suddenly grew several degrees louder, “I declare that, starting today, Wande Tower will leave the antique street and relocate elsewhere. I have fulfilled my promise. If anyone dares to gossip about this, be careful I’ll sue you for slander.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a chorus of curses erupted on the scene.
“Shameless, utterly shameless, how can there be such a shameless person in the world?”
“Exactly, he clearly said ‘antique industry’ just now, and now he’s blatantly going back on his word?”
“I’m so angry, I’ve never seen such a shameless person before.”
“Is this the so-called senior figure of the antique industry? Pah, too shameless…”
Not just the customers, but many in the antique industry also looked down on Zhao Quande, embarrassed to be associated with him.
However, the eighteen appraisers who came with Zhao Quande chose to stand with him.
“I also heard Master Zhao say ‘leave the antique street’ just now, you all heard wrong.”
“That’s right, who would be so foolish to agree to leave the antique industry? Wouldn’t that be ruining their own future?”
“Don’t push people too far, Master Zhao has already admitted his loss, do you really need to press until someone gets crushed to death?”
“You at the Elegant Pavilion have gone too far, do you really think we are so easy to bully…”
Among these people, especially Sun Changfeng was the most active in accusing the Elegant Pavilion of going too far.
With their support, Zhao Quande looked at Tang Feng with increasing boldness.
The implication seemed to be, I just won’t quit, what can you do to me?
It must be said, his shameless tactic indeed caught Tang Feng by surprise.
He had not expected that a senior figure of the antique industry would put on such a shameless act in public.
If it were someone else, Tang Feng really wouldn’t have had any way to deal with Zhao Quande.
Besides calling him “shameless,” what else could you do?
The two sides hadn’t signed any written agreement, and even if they had, there was no legal force behind it.
Such promises originally relied on the parties’ “integrity,” but now one party had thrown away all concern for face.
When someone becomes shameless, they truly become invincible.
But for Tang Feng, he had plenty of ways to deal with such shameless scum.
“Heh, the shamelessness is unmatched. Zhao Quande, I advise you to fulfill your promise willingly; at least that way, you can keep some dignity for yourself. But if you don’t care about your dignity, I can help you with that.”
Upon hearing his threat, Zhao Quande immediately scoffed with disdain, “Mr. Tang, I admit that your appraisal ability is strong. But in this business, it’s not all about strength; it’s also about connections. With so many friends supporting me, what do I have to fear from you? I really want to see what you can do to me.”
“That’s right, we all support Master Zhao. We don’t believe this young upstart can do anything to us,” Sun Changfeng was the first to move behind Zhao Quande, standing shoulder to shoulder with him.
The other sixteen appraisers also followed suit and stood together with them.
Eighteen chief appraisers from various major antique shops indeed represented a force that could not be ignored.
The colleagues and customers at the scene could do nothing but call them shameless; they really couldn’t do anything to them.
They all looked at Tang Feng with sympathy.
Even though Tang Feng’s appraisal ability was strong, it would be really challenging for the Elegant Pavilion to face the difficulties posed by eighteen antique shops using just their own strength.
Seeing that gang completely tear off their mask, Tang Feng immediately sneered repeatedly, “I was originally willing to leave you with some face, but since you don’t want it yourselves, I have nothing to hold back.”
With that, he suddenly pointed at the two treasure holders of the last two rounds, “You two, come here.”

Those two treasure holders who had been watching the excitement in the crowd didn’t expect Tang Feng to suddenly single them out, and they were momentarily taken aback, instinctively glancing at Zhao Quande.
Zhao Quande and the seventeen appraisers behind him also had very unpleasant looks on their faces.
Could it be that Tang Feng had seen through their secret arrangement?
How could that be possible?
