Chapter 428: 【428】Because I’m here, that’s why it can be wild_1
“Stop pretending with me. What exactly are you trying to pull by proclaiming ‘guaranteed one hundred percent authentic’ at Elegant Pavilion?”
Zhao Quande, seeing Qin Yanan playing dumb, flew into an even greater rage.
And the group of peers following him also looked righteously indignant.
“Mr. Zhao, I don’t understand what you’re talking about. Is there a problem with us assuring consumers one hundred percent authentic products?” Qin Yanan immediately retorted.
“What’s the problem? You’re deceiving consumers. Look at how many of our peers are here today, ask them which store dares to assure one hundred percent authentic products to consumers?”
Zhao Quande countered while not forgetting to interact with his peers behind him.
...
“Exactly, your kind of nonsense can only fool laypeople, do you really think you can fool us?”
“I’ve been in the antique industry for most of my life, and I’ve never heard of anyone daring to guarantee one hundred percent authentic products, it’s simply unheard of.”
“I think you’re trying to use this tactic to squeeze out your competitors and monopolize the whole antique industry.”
“Everyone makes mistakes, even horses stumble, how can you possibly guarantee one hundred percent authentic products? It’s an utter lie.”

A group of antique store owners were all intensely agitated, condemning Elegant Pavilion harshly.
The more Qin Yanan listened, the more she found it amusing, “Just because you can’t do it, doesn’t mean others can’t.”
“If Elegant Pavilion dares to make such a commitment, it shows that we have confidence in our strength. Those who lack strength should find ways to enhance their capability, not come to someone else’s store and throw a tantrum.”
Zhao Quande laughed angrily, “Hahaha, then I would really like to witness where this confidence of yours comes from, to be so arrogant.”
The group of antique store owners and appraisers following him also started to make a racket.
If they didn’t suppress Elegant Pavilion’s arrogance today, they feared their own days would not be easy.
And the customers who were lining up all looked expectantly at Qin Yanan.
They too were very curious as to where Elegant Pavilion got this confidence.
Just then, Tang Feng, who had been silent by the side, slowly stepped forward.
“You all want to know why Elegant Pavilion is so bold? Because I’m here, that’s why it’s bold enough.”
He walked slowly to Qin Yanan’s side and stood shoulder to shoulder with her.
In an instant, hundreds of gazes in the venue concentrated on him.
Many people there didn’t recognize him.
Having seen him maintaining order at the scene, they even thought he was Elegant Pavilion’s security.
Now that he stepped forward and spoke so arrogantly, they couldn’t help but be very curious about him.
“Tang Feng, you don’t think that because you got good results in the appraiser’s examination, you can look down on all the appraisers of Zhonghai, do you?” Zhao Quande obviously recognized Tang Feng and was aware of his excellent performance in the appraiser’s exam.
Honestly, Tang Feng’s performance was indeed quite impressive.
If it were any other time, they would have been very polite to him.
But now that it had come down to a do-or-die situation, they couldn’t afford to care about saving face.
“No, no, no, even if I am arrogant, I wouldn’t dare to look down on all the appraisers of Zhonghai.”
Tang Feng quickly shook his head in denial.
Just when everyone thought he might have some sense of self-awareness, he changed tack, “But, I do have the right to look down on this group of people. I’m not talking about any one of you in particular, I mean all of you. In my eyes, you’re all trash.”
His gaze swept over all the antique store owners and appraisers who had come to make trouble, filled with contempt.
These people were immediately angered by his words.
“Arrogant, too arrogant. I’ve been in the antique industry most of my life and never have I seen anyone as arrogant as this.”
“Young man, you are young, you should be humble when dealing with your elders, otherwise, you’ll find yourself on a very narrow path.”
“A bratty kid who’s still wet behind the ears, and you talk so big? I was in the antique industry when you were still in diapers.”
“Daring to look down on all of us? Where do you get that kind of confidence from?”
Zhao Quande also glared at Tang Feng, “Young man, since we’re all trash in your eyes, do you dare to accept our challenge?”
“What kind of challenge?” Tang Feng asked calmly.
“It’s simple. We’ll have three people from our side, and you guys from Elegant Pavilion will also have three people, best out of three matches. Let’s see who has stronger appraisal skills. If you guys win, you can continue to shout your ‘one hundred percent authentic’ slogan, and we won’t bother you again. But if you lose, retract that slogan honestly and admit your mistake to the consumers present. How about it? Do you dare?”
Zhao Quande looked provocatively at Tang Feng.
He knew Tang Feng’s appraisal skills were strong, which is why he chose a best-of-three approach.
Even if the latter was strong, he could at most win one round.
As long as they could ensure victory in the other two rounds, they would emerge victoriously.
His calculations were well-thought-out, but Tang Feng shook his head, “Three against three? I disagree.”
Zhao Quande knew he wouldn’t agree and couldn’t help but sneer, “What, are you scared? Then how would you like to compete?”
Tang Feng’s gaze swept across the faces of these appraisers, “How many appraisers have you brought this time?”
Zhao Quande didn’t understand why he asked this, but still, he turned and quickly counted the numbers, “Including myself, there are eighteen, each one a renowned figure in the Zhonghai Antique Circle, you can choose any opponent you like, and it won’t belittle your status.”
Tang Feng nodded slightly, “Since you’re all here anyway, I can’t let you make a wasted trip. Let’s do it this way, you all come at me together.”
“What do you mean?” Zhao Quande was confused for a moment and looked at him perplexedly.
“What I mean is, all eighteen of you come at me together, and I, Tang Feng, will take you all on!”
Tang Feng’s words were firm and resolute, clearly reaching every ear in the venue.
The previously noisy scene suddenly fell into a brief silence.
Everyone thought they had misheard and sought confirmation from those next to them.
Once they realized they had heard correctly, the chatter grew louder.
“Madness, sheer madness, one person wants to take on eighteen appraisers?”
“Each of these eighteen appraisers is a long-established expert, and he wants to challenge them single-handedly?”
“I think he’s desperate to make a name for himself, trying to become famous with this stunt?”
“Haha, I think he’s just courting death…”
