All eyes swiftly turned in his direction.
The speaker was actually an arrogant rich second generation.
Seeing everyone looking at him, his gaze turned cold as he said in a deep voice:
"Group of ignoramuses, you’re all fit to discuss the Black Wood Lotus?"
Hearing this, those who were belittling the Black Wood Lotus felt upset.
"Kid, isn’t it just that you have so stinky money? You know so much, so tell us, what’s so good about it?" a fat man asked brashly.
The rich second generation stood up, proudly saying:
"To say that the Black Wood Lotus is a Heavenly Treasure is no exaggeration... Because it is a dicinal ingredient. I’ve once read about the Black Wood Lotus in an ancient text, which claid that a terminally ill woman was cured overnight just by slling its fragrance! Tell , isn’t that considered an unparalleled treasure?"
As soon as these words ca out, the entire venue was astir.
Fang Yu hadn’t expected that this rich second generation knew so much about the Black Wood Lotus.
Not only was he surprised, but so was the white-haired elder sitting in the front, who frowned slightly and looked over.
The rich second generation continued nonchalantly:
"So when I said you all don’t recognize true value, was I wrong? This item isn’t just worth three billion, it would still be worth it even at five billion!"
Everyone couldn’t help but be shocked.
To think that just slling its fragrance could cure terminal illnesses, could this thing... truly be that miraculous? If it’s really like that, wealthy people wouldn’t care about spending three to five billion.
Just after he finished speaking, a powerful and vigorous voice rang out from the front row:
"Five billion!"
Swish swish swish!
All eyes focused on the white-haired old man.
Who would have thought that soone would actually bid five billion.
Too extravagant.
Chen Daotian was practically green with envy.
Fang Yu’s gaze also fell on the old man, feeling more and more that this elder was no ordinary person. Since he was willing to spend five billion, it ant he understood the value of the Black Wood Lotus and deed it worth the price.
The auctioneer on the stage didn’t make a sound; evidently, he didn’t think the Black Wood Lotus was worth that much.
"Oh, soone’s competing with ?"
The rich second generation laughed, "Six billion!"
The entire crowd at the auction was astonished.
So wealthy, truly wealthy, bidding six billion just like that.
But on second thought, these wealthy people all had backing from corporations. With net worths in the tens to hundreds of billions, it made sense.
The white-haired elder spoke again: "Seven billion."
The bidding was now only between the two of them.
After all, not everyone present was that rich.
Soone said: "To witness such a thrilling bidding war today is truly worth the trip. If the people from the top three Martial Arts Families were here, it would be even more exciting."
"The properties of the Martial Arts Families are spread throughout the whole country, even the world; they simply don’t care about this amount of money. I rember that Huaxia’s richest man alone has a few hundred billion in his personal fortune, not to ntion the business empire."
These were fortunes beyond their reach.
"Ten billion!"
Suddenly, from backstage, a person wearing a long robe stepped out and shouted.
It was Zhao Youdao!
Zhao Youdao is actually bidding?
Fang Yu smirked slightly: "This old guy must feel discontent about his Black Wood Lotus being stolen."
Indeed, Zhao Youdao’s bidding didn’t seem genuine. It was as if he was just idly driving up the price. Because... he knew the value of the Black Wood Lotus better than most people present!
That’s a Heavenly Treasure that can resurrect the dead!
The white-haired elder’s eyes turned icy, and he stopped bidding.
The young rich second generation, however, continued to bid:
"Eleven billion!"
The whole place beca extrely quiet.
"Let’s see who else will bid?" The rich second generation was high-spirited, his voice echoing, "Continue to bid, it’s okay. Maybe I won’t be able to afford the next price."
Eleven billion was not a small sum.
Just then—
Creak.
Creak creak—
All the doors and windows of the auction hall closed.
The curtains were also drawn.
Only one exit remained.
The white-haired elder couldn’t help but frown and stood up.
Zhao Youdao, standing in the front, said in a deep voice, "The auction ends here. Those who no longer wish to bid for the Black Wood Lotus may leave now."
Many people were unwilling to leave because they wanted to see who would obtain the Black Wood Lotus. But the majority felt that the atmosphere was off and felt so fear in their hearts.
"This is Jin Family’s territory, it feels like soone’s going to make trouble... let’s go."
Most people exited through the last door.
Soon, only a small group remained.
"Soone causing trouble? This young man? The Jin Family seems like they are about to make a move." Chen Daotian said with a smile.
Creak—
The last exit closed.
The auction house beca extrely dim.
From behind the stage, in an instant, more than twenty n in Martial Artist Robes appeared, surrounding the entire venue. Those who hadn’t left began to regret it.
Front row.
The white-haired elder suddenly stood up and laughed out loud:
"Good! Very good... Ten billion is my limit. Since I can’t buy the Black Wood Lotus, it’s not a bad option to snatch it by force."
The whole audience went silent.
Who exactly is this person? So audacious to actually want to snatch it.
The young rich second-generation chuckled, "What do you take yourself for, daring to snatch the Black Wood Lotus?"
"Enough with the noise!"
Zhao Youdao walked to the front of the stage with a serious face, glanced around, and finally, his gaze landed on Fang Yu. He spoke slowly:
"The Black Wood Lotus was never intended to be auctioned from the start. Thanks for your kindness... those unrelated, please make way. Do not block the Jin Family and Zhao Family from handling their business."
Huh?
The Jin Family and Zhao Family handling business?
The elder and the rich second-generation looked puzzled.
Zhao Youdao raised his hand and pointed at Fang Yu, "Fang Yu, today is the day you die!"
Everyone’s gaze converged on Fang Yu.
Who is this man?
Who is Fang Yu?
Clap, clap, clap...
Fang Yu slowly rose, calmly clapping his hands.
"Zhao Youdao, you’re so anxious! To think you’d use the Black Wood Lotus to lure out. I’m sorry, but the Black Wood Lotus, I am determined to have it!"
Boom!
The white-haired elder suddenly stamped his foot.
The already fragile floor shattered from his stomp, sending fragnts flying.
"Today, whoever dares to touch my Black Wood Lotus, I will make sure they have no place to be buried!"
Zhao Youdao’s pupils constricted as he realized the elder’s strength, the imposing aura emanating from his body, and the strength of his stomp, very strong... This is a Martial Arts master!
The elder stood with his hands behind his back, speaking indifferently, "Previously, I had posted a bounty for the Black Wood Lotus. Unfortunately, no one completed it! Since the Black Wood Lotus has appeared, I have no choice but to co and take it myself!"
Fang Yu was taken aback.
It was the issuer of that SSS-rank mission!
Chen Daotian exclaid in surprise, "Yes! It took a long ti for soone to take up that task, and now that the Black Wood Lotus has appeared, it makes sense for them to co!"
Zhao Youdao asked, "Who are you, exactly?"
The elder said indifferently, "First on the Heavenly List, Yi Mingyue!"
First on the Assassin List!
The atmosphere in the entire venue beca tense!
Chen Daotian poked Fang Yu and said, "Damn, it’s Yi Mingyue, the first on the Assassin List! Good grief, he ca too!"
Last ti Fang Yu asked him to look up information on the top five on the Assassin List, Chen Daotian knew who was in first place!
He didn’t expect it to be such an old man!
The situation had beco complicated.
The Jin Family, Zhao Family, and Yi Mingyue, first on the Heavenly List!
The onlookers began to breathe hastily! Leaving now seed impossible! Regret was too late. If things went south, they might even be silenced!
However...
When Yi Mingyue finished speaking, the rich second-generation had a relaxed and indifferent expression, his eyes resolutely saying:
"Is the first place on the Heavenly List that great?"
Zhao Youdao blinked in surprise and asked, "And who might you be?"
The rich second-generation said coldly, "Rember my na, I’m called Lu Haoran!"
Zhao Youdao exclaid in shock:
"The Lu Family, the son of Lu Tianxun?!!"
