After a mont of inner struggle, Du Yaowei finally said, "Fine! I'll take that bet with you! But I hope that when I win, you won't renege."
"Hmph! How dare you suspect that I would renege? I'm not that kind of person!" the mysterious girl said angrily.
But at that mont, Xu Hao said, "Do you really have that much confidence in ? What if I lose?"
"If you lose? If you lose, I'll have to compensate Du Yaowei with three spirit stone fragnts, but I'll need to beat you up to vent my frustration." The mysterious girl said matter-of-factly.
"Beat to vent your frustration? Forget it, I'll just make Du Yaowei look like a pig's head instead." Xu Hao shook his head. He didn't want to fight with the mysterious girl; she didn't feel like an enemy to him.
Du Yaowei suddenly felt like he was a rights-less slave whom others could take at will, or discard with a kick.
Yet, he dared not retort.
The forces involved now were too powerful. Although this mysterious girl seed flippant, her strength was apparent. The power behind her must be imnse; he didn't want to anger soone like her.
"Alright, alright, let's continue with the auction. You two figure it out; I'm absolutely certain you two will fight tonight." The mysterious girl said with conviction.
Xu Hao smiled wryly; he thought the sa, but the mysterious girl was a bit too blunt.
The next auction items didn't interest Du Yaowei, so naturally, they didn't catch Xu Hao's eye either.
However, when the land parcel in Huadu was brought up, it instantly drew the attention of many in the room.
Many of them were not only martial artists but also the masterminds behind certain companies and conglorates. The Huadu parcel was rich with developnt value, and now it was up for bidding, which sparked many ideas.
The auctioneer said, "This parcel was consigned by the Huadu governnt office, starting at 5 billion, but future profits for developers—30% goes to them. Now the auction begins!"
"6 billion!"
Du Yaowei imdiately and impatiently said, "Our Du Family is determined to get this parcel, and we hope those without developnt interests in Huadu don't compete with us."
Once Du Yaowei spoke, many promptly folded their flags and stilled their drums.
Xu Hao wasn't afraid of the Du Family and could even pin down Du Yaowei.
But others were afraid!
The power of the Zhongzhou Du Family was clear, and no one wanted to make enemies of them over this, let alone have the capability to snatch food from the Du Family's mouth.
However, their fear wasn't shared by Xu Hao.
"7 billion." Xu Hao said calmly.
"Hmph! I knew you'd make a move, but I'm not worried at all! 7.5 billion!"
Du Yaowei said fearlessly, "Xu Hao, to be honest, our Du Family is dead set on obtaining this parcel, and the family has given a full 12 billion Huaya Currency for it!
That's already beyond the original value of this parcel, but our Du Family believes that through our managent, this parcel will generate at least double the wealth for us and Huadu City!"
Xu Hao chuckled softly, "Looks like your Du Family has a lot of confidence in this parcel! What do you plan to do with it?"
Du Yaowei didn't hold back, "Hmph! Isn't it obvious? We'll do whatever's profitable! For example, building a modern residential complex, a KTV, restaurants of various kinds, the tourism industry, all the profitable sectors—our Du Family will be involved. I believe the Huadu City governnt office and its people would love to see such a scene, right?
With our Du Family's help, Huadu City's economy will flourish, GDP and other figures will soar, creating nurous jobs for Huadu City…"
Du Yaowei spoke eloquently, revealing his vision for the land, though it was just a basic urban developnt plan.
After Du Yaowei finished, he changed the subject and asked Xu Hao, "If you were to win this parcel, what would you do?"
Many turned their attention to Box Number Seven.
Xu Hao calmly said, "Actually, I don't plan to make money off this parcel."
His words stunned everyone!
Not plan to make money?
What a joke!
Who would believe that!
Many thought Xu Hao was just boasting; surely there was a hidden aning.
Du Yaowei scoffed, "Hmph! Just teasing us! You say you don't plan to profit from this parcel, but do you think anyone would believe that? Just ask around, is there anyone who believes?"
"No!" soone imdiately shouted at the top of their voice.
Although Xu Hao was powerful, he couldn't possibly attack them here.
Everyone expressed disbelief in Xu Hao's words.
"Nobody doesn't want to make money; who would mind having too much?"
"Exactly, Xu Hao's words are probably a bluff, putting up a front!"
