Chapter 392

The World Noble over there instantly flew into a rage!

He immediately swung his rifle around,

pulled the trigger,

and fired several shots directly at one of the auction house guards!

After that auction house guard fell,

the World Noble aimed his gun at Rayleigh nearby,

and was about to pull the trigger!

Just then,

Rayleigh raised his head,

his eyes hardened,

and an overwhelming Conqueror's Haki instantly surged forth!

Among everyone inside the auction house,

except for the mermaid Shirahoshi in the fish tank,

and the fallen shark fishman,

whom Rayleigh deliberately avoided,

everyone else's pupils suddenly trembled violently,

and they all instantly fainted and collapsed to the ground!

At this moment,

under the coverage of Rayleigh's Observation Haki,

it could be clearly perceived that

inside the entire auction house,

only four people remained conscious!

Hmm?

Wait!

Four people?

The mermaid Shirahoshi,

the shark fishman,

plus himself,

that makes only three people!

Who is the fourth person?

Rayleigh looked in the direction sensed by his Observation Haki

and saw that in a seat at the corner of the auction,

a young man was standing with his arms crossed,

silently watching him!

After being stunned for a moment,

Rayleigh quickly recognized this person's identity,

immediately raised an eyebrow,

and said with some surprise:

"A cultivator—Li Xiao!"

That Rayleigh could recognize him

did not surprise Li Xiao at all!

After all,

since more than a month ago,

when Li Xiao fought the two Navy Admirals alone at Sabaody Archipelago

and killed two World Nobles,

the name of the cultivator Li Xiao had spread throughout the entire world,

not in the slightest inferior to the Four Emperors of the New World!

In terms of fame alone,

he even surpassed them!

Although Rayleigh had retired,

he was not unaware of worldly affairs!

On the contrary,

with Shakuyaku, an old flame who specialized in intelligence,

he was quite clear about every major and minor event happening on this great sea!

Moreover,

after retiring, Rayleigh had lived long-term at Sabaody Archipelago,

so when Li Xiao fought Akainu and Kizaru back then,

this old man might have been nearby secretly spying on the battle!

Before Li Xiao could even speak,

Rayleigh continued on his own:

"Yo, that merman kid was just talking about you. Never thought I'd actually find you here!"

"By the way, when did you return to Sabaody Archipelago, and how did you end up here?"

Hearing this,

Li Xiao immediately shot him a speechless look,

and retorted:

"What do you think?"

"For a normal person, there are only two reasons to come to an auction house: either to bid or to be auctioned. Which one do you think I am?"

Lei Li was slightly stunned,

then burst out laughing:

"Hahaha, true. So what are you here to buy?"

"With your strength, there shouldn't be many things that catch your eye. Is it the Goro Goro no Mi that was just auctioned?"

Lei Li shouldn't have asked,

but once he did,

Li Xiao's expression immediately turned even worse!

Seeing this,

Lei Li, looking puzzled, pressed on:

"Why do you look so grim? Did you fail to win the Goro Goro no Mi just now?"

"Come to think of it, I was backstage the whole time and didn't notice who ended up winning that Goro Goro no Mi!"

"I guess the price wouldn't be less than 500 million Berries, right?"

"After all, it's a top-tier Logia Devil Fruit; it's normal that you couldn't win it!"

Hearing this,

Li Xiao's face turned even darker,

and he let out a couple of expressionless laughs,

before speaking:

"Heh, do you think everyone is like you, losing so much money at the casino that they end up selling themselves?"

"I have no interest in the Goro Goro no Mi. My target this time is the Adam Tree, and the bidding hasn't even started yet!"

"However, judging by the current situation, unless something unexpected happens, this auction is over for today, isn't it?"

Saying this,

Li Xiao was also quite speechless!

He had guessed that Lei Li would definitely make a move,
