This was going to be awkward. All Chen Xiaobei had were 2,000 Spiritual Stones – definitely not more than that. If Hikari Okazaka decided to listen to Demonic Fox, things would not go well for Chen Xiaobei. Focker was supporting Chen Xiaobei from the shadows and he would not be on the blacklist. However, there was no way that he could never wash away the crime that he just committed since everyone was looking at him. In the end, the ten-thousand-year-old Ambergris would be sold to Chen Xiaobei at the lowest price. In other words, this was actually a massive bet. Hikari Okazaka would be the one that decides Chen Xiaobei’s fate.
“Why should I listen to you? I’m after all a man! Let me be in charge of big matters like this! You should show me enough respect that a man deserves when we are in public places!”
“Is respect more important or this deal is more important?” asked Demonic Fox while frowning.
“This…”
Hikari Okazaka was taken aback. Though he knew that this deal should be his priority, it did not mean that he was equipped with a clear mind to see the bigger picture. And he was way too arrogant to listen to the advice of others.
“You are just a woman! Don’t talk to me about this deal! Just go and sit down and zip your mouth! This ten-thousand-year-old Ambergris will fall into my hands eventually! Just watch me squash that piece of shit like a bug!”
“I bid 5,000 Spiritual Stones! Son of a bitch! I dare you to add more to it!”
Upon hearing that, Demonic Fox’s beautiful eyes were filled with disappointment. Hikari Okazaka claimed that he wanted to squash Chen Xiaobei like a bug but he did not realize that he was actually the bug in this case. At that moment, Demonic Fox had lost all her faith that she had placed in Hikari Okazaka. All this while, Demonic Fox was being tied down by the royal family and Divine Sovereign Order, which was why she could not marry the one that she loved.
She had to constantly tell herself that she would be married to someone powerful even though she could not choose to be together with someone that she loved. The word ‘powerful’ did not refer to cultivation but maturity, charm, ability, wisdom, and state of mind. The first time Demonic Fox met Hikari Okazaka, she had felt that this man was everything that she ever wanted. Until she met Chen Xiaobei, she realized that she had made a terrible mistake all this while.
Before that, Hikari Okazaka was perfect for Demonic Fox because there was no one powerful enough to compete with him. Now that Chen Xiaobei was competing with him, Hikari Okazaka was like a naked man with all his weaknesses exposed. Feeling extremely disappointed, Demonic Fox wished that Chen Xiaobei would squash him like a bug.
“Alright! I shall fulfill your wish since you insist on competing with me! I’ll bid 5,010 Spiritual Stones!”
“F*ck you! I don’t believe that you have so many Spiritual Stones with you! I know that you just acquired 2,000 Spiritual Stones! There’s no way that you can fork out the remaining 3,010 Spiritual Stones!”
Hikari Okazaka roared at Chen Xiaobei while gritting his teeth. It was important to know that the royal family and Divine Sovereign Order had come up with almost all the Spiritual Stones that they possessed to pass them to Hikari Okazaka. The number of Spiritual Stones that he brought with him was estimated at 8,000 Spiritual Stones. All these Spiritual Stones could be considered as the funds to strengthen the country’s foundation – overspending it would definitely bring forth permanent damage to Japan. In other words, 5,000 Spiritual Stones was actually their final budget.
The moment Chen Xiaobei increased the price to 5,010 Spiritual Stones, Hikari Okazaka had already maxed out the budget. Continuing to bid on it would cause Japan to suffer an economic downfall. Left in a dilemma, Hikari Okazaka was tempted to listen to what Demonic Fox suggested to him earlier. However, he was afraid that Chen Xiaobei did possess enough Spiritual Stones to purchase the Ambergris the moment he decided to stop bidding for it.
He would need to wait for Demonic Fox to train at least a few decades to achieve True Nirvana stage if he failed to acquire this piece of Ambergris. The royal family and the people of Japan would not feel at peace if they kept delaying the wedding. As a chain reaction, his noble status in Japan would start to crumble as well. Realizing that he just chided Demonic Fox, it would be extremely embarrassing for him to change his mind right now.
Left without options, Hikari Okazaka had to steel his heart to make up his mind.
“I bid 6,000 Spiritual Stones!”
Immediately, enlightenment was reflected in Chen Xiaobei’s eyes. He knew exactly what was going through in Hikari Okazaka’s mind.
“Mr. Hikari. Truth to be told, both of us really want to buy this Ambergris! It will be a waste of time if we continue to bid on it. Why not you just tell me your maximum price? I will take it with me if I can pay more than what you can offer! Take it with you if I fail to match the price that you offer! What do you think about it?”
No matter what, Hikari Okazaka would not return to Japan empty handed. Seeing that Chen Xiaobei had come up with a good suggestion, he agreed to it immediately.
“Alright! Let’s do what you suggest! My bid is 8,000 Spiritual Stones! I’ll be speechless if you can surpass me with this amount of Spiritual Stones that I bid!”
“8,000 Spiritual Stones?”
With a smile on his face, Chen Xiaobei clapped his hands.
“Deal!”
“Huh?”
“What do you mean by that?” Hikari Okazaka asked in bewilderment.
“I don’t have more than 8,000 Spiritual Stones with me! So you can now take the Ambergris with you! Ladies and gentleman! Let’s come together to congratulate our winner! Mr. Hikari Okazaka!” shouted Chen Xiaobei with a wicked grin.
*Swoosh*
The crowd was shocked by the fact that the Ambergris was sold for 8,000 Spiritual Stones.
“So, that’s the prince of Japan! I can’t believe that he just came up with 8,000 Spiritual Stones to purchase the Ambergris!”
“You are right! That piece of ten-thousand-year-old Ambergris can increase one’s combat power by 3,000! That is equivalent to 3,000 Spiritual Stones! I can’t believe that the price of the Ambergris was raised by at least three folds!”
“One can do anything that you like if you have an insane amount of money! I’m so jealous right now!”
……..
Hearing the comments from the crowd, Hikari Okazaka felt like he was being scammed.
“Yinmu… Why do I feel like I’m being fooled by him?”
“No one fooled you. They are all praising you! Look at you! You have gained so much respect!”
“You are right! I have won the bid! That’s all that matters right now!”
“8,000 Spiritual Stones! Deal! Next, I would like to invite Mr. Hikari to go backstage to hand over the Spiritual Stones to the owner of the Ambergris! Then, the deal is officially sealed!”
“Alright!”
Hikari Okazaka stood up and walked to the backstage. At the same time, Chen Xiaobei stood up as well.
“Brother. Where are you going?” asked Zhang Xiaoshen curiously.
“I’m going to watch the idiot vomit blood!” said Chen Xiaobei with an evil laugh.
