That meant he could be on a higher Level even.

If that was true, then his eight bodyguards were nothing in front of this captain of the security guards.

The difference in strength that existed between each level of ancient martial arts was enormous.

If they wanted to defeat this level three captain, they needed at least ten more Level two people.

Sadly, Colden only had three of them and the other level one guards were no match at all for the powerful captain.

The captain then Looked at Colden with squinted eyes and said, "Since the Tucker family of Broome disrupted the order of the auction of the Pill Alchemist Association, the Tucker family of Broome will pay an additional 10% commission to the auction this time. And if this repeats itself, then the Tucker family will be refused the right to attend any other auction events this year."

Colden was shocked beyond words.

He still couldn't wrap his head around the fact the captain of the security guards in the auction house could punish his family.

An additional 10% commission fee would greatly increase their budget, and the Tucker family wouldn't want to bear the expenses.

Colden was mortified when he realized this. His expression changed as he pleaded, "Sir, what I did just now was very thoughtless. It won't happen again. Forgive me, please.”

He took out something from his bag and reached out to give the captain as though it was a gift.

It was actually a box of medical ingredients that Colden bought in one of the stores of the market. It was not a rare treasure, but it was worth a lot.

However, the security guard turned his nose up at it and ignored the gift.

He Looked at Colden coldly and said, "This punishment will take effect the moment it is announced. You can now take your seats. Unless, of course, you want to cause some more trouble.”

Colden gulped, his face as pale as death. Without uttering a word or even looking at the guard, he walked into the hall.

“What an idiot!" Elton muttered in a Low voice.

“Mr. Acosta?" called a curious Vivian.

“What was that about?"

Elton glanced back at her and explained, “That Tucker family of Broome he was so proud of is just an emerging family that joined the ancient martial field only twenty years ago and is barely recognized to have access to the ancient martial world. They are always the ones with hotheads and arrogant members. They are the only ones that can be stupid enough to offend the Pill Alchemist Association."

Vivian nodded in understanding. She had been told before that the Pill Alchemist Association had a really high status and was not inferior to any clan

Despite knowing that, she was still shocked that even the security could have such power as to punish a family.

Elton smiled softly when he saw the questions on her face.

“This is how it works, Vivian. To have a good relationship and a strong foothold in the association, every clan will want their elite members to work in the association. The selection test to get into the association isn't easy though. Also, not every member of those families has the chance of joining them.

Just take the captain of the security guards for example. He used to be in the line of succession to be the head of his family in Broome. Sadly, he couldn't be the heir since he was at the back of the Line. So if you look at things properly, that silly Colden boy is far inferior to the guard.”
