All afternoon, Feng Yuan was busy handling matters related to the Sky Garden. Although the charity auction was scheduled for the evening, Feng Yuan’s early preparation and determination still made many people change their plans.
To them, the Sky Garden was rely a fascinating toy. Based on the words of those Feng Yuan found and their cooperation intentions, they could entirely guess what he was planning to do, which was of considerable value to his city.
Even if they chose to compete with him now, not to ntion the fact that he had already reached an agreent with Entertainnt World, even getting the Sky Garden may not avoid unfavorable impressions in Maomu City.
Of course, a few individuals who didn’t believe in such matters still intended to bid for the Sky Garden. In fact, Feng Yuan was not overly concerned about the competition. Whether there was competition or not, he would secure the Sky Garden regardless. Of course, he didn’t mind using fair ans, and he wasn’t afraid of playing dirty either. If things got to that point, who’d actually win or lose was uncertain.
"Are you doing this to lower the price? After all, they might consider your stance and Maomu City’s attitude and choose to give up. If that’s the case, perhaps the Sky Garden won’t fetch a high price."
Veronia suspiciously scrutinized Feng Yuan as she spoke. The tactics seed like an external pressure thod to lower the price. Considering Feng Yuan’s identity was well-known, many chose to withdraw because of him. Feng Yuan glanced at Veronia and chuckled, shaking his head and said,
"It’s not that, and I haven’t planned to do so, nor will they be influenced by ."
"Are you that sure?"
"Don’t forget that tonight is a charity auction. Those who truly give up because of my actions were uncertain in their intentions anyway, thinking it’s okay to win, but okay not to as well. Those truly wanting it will not give up, especially considering the Great Xia governnt backing them; they won’t really fear ."
Stretching lazily, Feng Yuan explained. At this point, he had done all necessary preparations; all that remained was to secure the Sky Garden tonight and proceed with further arrangents.
Seeing Veronia still confused, Feng Yuan laughed and said,
"Have you forgotten, these people normally wouldn’t gather like this together."
Upon Feng Yuan’s remark, Veronia imdiately realized. Feng Yuan was probably being efficient; after all, today all major companies’ executives and various families’ promising young mbers were present—people who normally wouldn’t congregate like this.
"So you’re seizing the opportunity to settle all necessary collaborations?"
"Not exactly, there’s still a portion that needs dealing with in Maomu City, but those aren’t urgent. The rest is mostly settled, even with Patado~"
Giggling, Feng Yuan triumphantly said, while Veronia looked suspiciously at him and turned to Xiao Ji for inquiry. After all, Patado was a Spirit Beast, and obviously, Feng Yuan wouldn’t just bring one or two along, why was Xiao Ji so quiet?
However, Xiao Ji seed to accept Feng Yuan’s approach, showing no signs of displeasure. Moreover, Xiao Ji certainly knew Feng Yuan planned to bring back a group of Patado. He had explained to it that those Patado would live in the Sky Garden together with Spirit Beast Eggs and young Spirit Beasts awaiting treatnt found later.
Thinking this over, Xiao Ji found seemingly no issue, understanding wholeheartedly Feng Yuan wouldn’t reside in the Sky Garden long-term. Having experienced similar situations, it hoped for proper treatnt for the damaged Spirit Beast Eggs and young Spirit Beasts from Feng Yuan as well.
Lightly patting Xiao Ji’s back, Feng Yuan took it along to call Big Cat and others to eat, inquiring if Big Cat and the others were interested in joining the charity auction in the evening, as for Veronia nearby, Feng Yuan already knew her plans and didn’t bother asking again.
Although Kong Qing showed little interest in the charity auction that night, he reluctantly agreed to accompany Feng Yuan after repeated invitations. And Big Cat, perhaps thinking of helping Kong Qing purchase so items, was quite proactive.
Despite Kong Qing’s efforts to prevent Big Cat from buying those things for it, for Big Cat, the money earned from gas was rather pointless, considering Kong Qing was it’s good friend, naturally, it would choose to use it on Kong Qing.
Seeing its persuasion failed, Kong Qing could only let Big Cat continue. Though Feng Yuan found it amusing, since Kong Qing once declined Big Cat preparing Spiritual dicine and Materials for it, and with a valid reason—that costly Spiritual dicine and Materials ant little to its goals.
After all, Kong Qing’s primary aim was for the Little Green Snake group to find a stronger evolutionary path, overly amassing costly rare Spiritual dicine and Materials would render that path aningless.
Unfortunately, this auction wasn’t centered on Spiritual dicine and Materials; post-previous resource depletion incidents, even Entertainnt World company couldn’t gather enough Spiritual dicine and Materials for auction.
anwhile, the costly decorative items and furniture provided no basis for Kong Qing to refuse; don’t forget Kong Qing had a small villa in its space, rendering these decorative items and furniture harmless to the evolutionary path, leaving Kong Qing without refusal grounds.
Switching to the Wolf God’s Robe, Feng Yuan called Big Cat and others to eat, different from needing negotiation in the afternoon. At the banquet, Feng Yuan didn’t plan to discuss troubleso matters.
"Wow~ Surprisingly richer than yesterday~"
Upon arriving at the banquet hall, seeing the food laid out, Feng Yuan exclaid delightedly. This ti, Veronia donned a fitting evening gown, although the sheer fabric evening gown predominantly black was adorned with special materials, causing a faint golden stream to ripple across with Veronia’s movents.
Though there were no lack of elite and affluent attendees, Veronia’s attire still garnered envious glances aplenty.
Gazing at Veronia’s evening gown, Feng Yuan remarked in surprise,
"I thought your human form only had that dress."
"Do you think that’s possible? Would you humans wear only one set of clothes for life?"
Turning away, Veronia retorted irritably. Feng Yuan shook his head with no intention to object, leading Xiao Ji and others to find foods he deed delicious, while Veronia glided through the evening like a proud peacock, eventually taking a graceful tasting of the dishes.
Perhaps due to the afternoon’s exchanges, Feng Yuan, though seeking solitude in a corner, couldn’t entirely abscond from partners of his afternoon agreents seeking brief chats. Through their dialogue, Feng Yuan divined they all gave up competing against him for the Sky Garden auction.
Inevitably, financially speaking, none could claim absolute victory over Feng Yuan. Considering his capacity to leverage Divine Beasts’ aid in acquiring rare Spiritual dicine and Materials was unmatched, rendering most seeking his assistance rather than competition.
However, these people were respectful, stopping by for re greetings and recomnding culinary delights they deed delicious, lest they irritate Feng Yuan.
Pecking at its al curiously, Xiao Ji observed Feng Yuan. Wrapping up interaction with these folks, Feng Yuan chuckled seeing Xiao Ji’s strange look, playfully patting its head saying,
"Alright, eat your food. These matters don’t concern you right now."
Big Cat softly lowing in agreent seed to affirm Feng Yuan’s explanation, stirring a query within Feng Yuan, who inquired with Big Cat,
"By the way, have you received similar banquet invitations too?"
Though Big Cat was a Spirit Beast, scholar owls of its kind were quite unique. Often, humans treated them as typical humans, especially those distinguished scholarly types holding vast assets. It’s not surprising to find scholar owls among certain banquet guest lists.
Though Big Cat was sowhat atypical among scholar owls, pondering its previous collaboration with Entertainnt World, Feng Yuan’s curiosity piqued regarding any similar engagents it might have encountered.
With its head lowered, Big Cat softly wled seemingly embarrassed, seeing it so, Feng Yuan affectionately patted its back, remarking,
"I see, you’re doing quite well for yourself~"
Glancing surreptitiously at Feng Yuan, Big Cat happily wled. Envious, Xiao Ji cast Big Cat a look, pondering what actions might yield similar praise from Feng Yuan for itself.
