Turning around, Chen Xiaobei saw that a muscular guy with moustache entered the auction hall with a few young men around him.
“Why is Hu Bawan here?” asked Zhang Xiaoshen in a shocking manner.
“Who the hell is that guy?”
“Hu Bawan is the faction leader of the ancient faction of Southern Sea. The name of the ancient faction is Raging Wave Faction! All those young men that walked behind him are his disciples!”
“It seems like you know quite a lot about the state of Jianghu!” said Chen Xiaobei with a smile.
This time, he re-evaluated Zhang Xiaoshen.
“Hehe! Actually I have a title in this Jianghu. Normally, people will call me the Jianghu All-Seer! I know quite a lot about the people and things that are currently happening in Jianghu!”
“All-Seer? Then, do you know Hu Bawan’s wealth? How much is he willing to pay to get the white jade Ganoderma?”
“From what I know, Hu Bawan has prepared almost tens of billions of USD to buy the white jade Ganoderma! Knowing that its medicinal effect could speed up his training, he has eyes on it for quite some time! I’m pretty sure he will pour out everything that he has to get his hands on it!”
“Tens of billions?”
Knowing that there was only around eleven billion in his bank account, Chen Xiaobei knew that all his money would be spent if he decided to fight Hu Bawan. And he would not have enough money to purchase the second item.
“What’s wrong? Brother. Are you thinking of getting the white jade Ganoderma as well? I would advise you to give up the idea right here right now!”
“Other than Hu Bawan, Tidal Faction swears that they want to get their hands on the white jade Ganoderma as well! The woman, Lin Caoyin had announced to everyone that those who try to take the white jade Ganoderma from her is equivalent to declaring war!”
“Oh? Tidal Faction wants to buy the white jade Ganoderma as well?”
Looking at the front direction, Chen Xiaobei saw that Lin Caoyin was with Lin Xiang and Wei Shenjing sitting at the third row of the bidder seats. He narrowed his eyes but smiled at them.
“That’s right! Lin Caoyin’s desire to get the white jade Ganoderma is even stronger than Hu Bawan! Let me give you a friendly reminder. Tidal Faction is one of the ancient faction that is located at the Southern Sea as well! If people like me and you manage to anger her, there will be nowhere for us to run away from her in this world!”
“Heh… I don’t think so…”
“What do you mean by you don’t think so? You are going to mess up big time if you still refuse to listen to me!”
“I did not listen to your advice just now and I turn out fine! Am I right?”
Chen Xiaobei then lifted his hand and sniffed it. A fragrance that was uniquely owned by a woman was still lingering on top of his palm.
“This smells so damn good!”
“This…”
Zhang Xiaoshen was rendered speechless, uncomfortable.
Earlier, he was trying his best to stop Chen Xiaobei from angering Hikari Okazaka. Not only did Chen Xiaobei choose not to listen to him, but he also smacked Demonic Fox’s bottom. The result of Chen Xiaobei not listening to Zhang Xiaoshen had brought him no harm but benefit! Feeling embarrassed, Zhang Xiaoshen quickly changed the topic.
“Look at the entrance! Oh my god! I can’t believe that guy is here as well!”
Looking at the entrance, Chen Xiaobei’s curiosity was piqued.
“You know about the Jianghu in other countries as well?!”
A man with blond hair in crimson robes walked into the auction hall slowly with a follower tailing behind him. He exuded an evil aura. His skin was extremely fair and his eyes were red – looking really spooky.
“I know a thing or two about the Jianghu in other countries as well… If I’m not mistaken, that guy over there should be a blood descendant! He is the newly appointed grand duke of the Deathbane Family in America! His name is Damien Gustav!”
“Gustav? Does he has a grandpa named Höhn Gustav?”
“That’s right! How did you know about that?”
“The death of his grandpa has made it possible for him to become the new grand duke!”
Upon hearing that, Chen Xiaobei felt that something was not right but he could not tell what the thing that made him feel uncomfortable was.
“This is awesome! Hikari Okazaka and Damien are here! Powerful people like them are rarely seen on Paradise Island! I can feel that the auction that is about to start soon is going to be very exciting!”
Seeing that Hikari Okazaka and Damien were sitting at the front row, Zhang Xiaoshen was elated.
“Now, there’s only one last very esteemed guest left! Once he arrives, the auction will officially begin.”
“Who else is coming? What do you mean by very esteemed guest?”
“I don’t know much about that person. The only that I know about the person is a diamond member on this island! In this world, there are only two people holding the diamond membership! One of them is Focker Rothschild’s grandfather! And the other one is the person that I mentioned to you just now!”
“Super diamond member? I don’t think he is coming.”
“Why?”
Zhang Xiaoshen would have never thought that the person that was sitting right next to him was the super diamond member that he mentioned just now. With a smile on his face, Chen Xiaobei had no intention to reveal his true identity to him. That was why he was sitting at the last row of the seats. Suddenly, the doors of the auction hall were closed. And the stage lights were shone at the auction stage.
“The auction is about to begin!”
“It seems like the person is not coming…” said Zhang Xiaoshen in disappointment. 1
A man in a tuxedo walked to the stage and gave a short speech. Right after that, two sultry ladies brought out a tray with the white jade Ganoderma on it. Looking at its shiny surface, it looked exactly like a white jade sculpture.
“Ladies and gentlemen, this is our first item! A thousand-year-old white jade Ganoderma! Seeing that everyone here is prepared, I’m pretty sure all of you know the medical benefit of this item. So, I’m not going to waste your time by explaining it.”
“Let’s go straight to the things that all of you have been waiting for a long time! The starting bidding price of this item is five million dollars! Every bid that you make cannot be less than ten million dollars!”
“Let the bidding commence!”
Immediately, the crowd was all hyped up.
“I bid ten million!”
“Me! Me! Me! Another thirty million here!”
…
Seemingly, there were a lot of people interested in buying the white jade Ganoderma.
“You guys are so noisy!”
Suddenly, a loud and rough voice overpowered everyone.
“Can you guys stop with the gibberish? I will raise the price to eight billion! Shut up now!”
Upon hearing that, everyone was shocked. ED: Aw I really like this kid already
