Xu Hao laughed at this moment, "Master Wu, why put yourself in such a difficult position? No matter how much you to Tu Yilong, you won't be able to spend it all. After all, this token will ultimately belong to me."
"Hmph! Xu Hao, stop putting on airs!"
Tu Yilong instantly glared at Xu Hao with fury, "Tomorrow, on the arena, I will surely have you stained in blood on the spot!"
"It doesn't matter, but I hope you have the ability. I'm just afraid you'll end up getting slapped in the face instead of playing hero."
With a shrug of nonchalance, Xu Hao continued.
"Fine, then our Wu Family will support the Third Young Master with fifty billion Huaya Currency."
Wu Yong made up his mind with resolve, gritting his teeth as he spoke.
He had no choice; Tu Yilong insisted on getting the money, and he dared not fail to cooperate. Otherwise, he would be courting death.
If Tu Yilong happened to say anything bad about the Wu Family upon returning, leading the Tu family to abandon them, then the Wu Family would be utterly finished.
Expecting Xu Hao to spare them was out of the question. Part of a series hosted by My Virtual Library Empire (MV&LEMP&YR).
Wu Yong even knew exactly why Xu Hao targeted his Wu Family directly—it was because they were the leading family in Huadu. Xu Hao intended to make an example of them; if he could take down the number one family in a stroke, then who would dare disobey his orders?
Thus, should Xu Hao win, the existence of the Wu Family was bound to end.
As the premier family of Huadu, they had enjoyed too much power and glory, but correspondingly, when danger approached, they were also the first to be destroyed.
Wu Yong saw the situation clearly, which was why he had always opposed Xu Hao without compromise.
"Hahaha, well done! Rest assured, as long as the token is purchased today, my Tu family will surely provide a generous reward!" Tu Yilong laughed heartily.
He turned to Elder Dong and said, "My Tu family bids two hundred and fifty billion. Is there any higher bid?"
Money, after all, is just an external possession; as long as it can be bought, it's worth it!
The mysterious woman spoke indifferently, "Spending two hundred and fifty billion on this thing doesn't seem worthwhile, but then again, I don't particularly like you, Xu Hao. Will you bid or not? If not, I'll take it."
Her tone was so composed, as if she believed no matter how much the price of the token grew, it would never exceed her financial reach.
Xu Hao chuckled, "Honestly, I don't even know what this token is for..."
Xu Hao was not yet finished speaking when Tu Yilong immediately said, "If you don't even know what it is for, why compete for it? Do you have too much money to spend?
"That's right, I indeed have too much money with nowhere to spend it, so I intend to it to the Hope Project."
Xu Hao said with a light smile, "So, even though I don't know what this thing is used for, I still want to drive up the price. But I don't intend to buy it. However, it seems this lady is somewhat interested, and since we have no grievances, I won't compete with you."
In the end, Xu Hao had no intention of buying, otherwise he would have kept raising the bid.
Chen Suyi stubbornly wrinkled her nose, a hint of dissatisfaction in her voice as she murmured, "Hmph! That big jerk is definitely letting her have it because he finds that girl pretty."
Anna nodded vehemently in agreement, "Exactly! Brother, aren't you afraid that when she lifts her black veil, you'll find an ugly monster and drop dead in shock? After all, those who dare not show their faces are usually not good-looking."
The mysterious woman heard every word of the two girls' whispers, but appeared completely unconcerned, as if it had nothing to do with her. She simply commented, "Xu Hao, since you're not interested, I'll take it. This object may be of great value, or it may be worth very little, perhaps even a Death Sentence. Your giving it up might very well be a good thing."
Chen Suyi and Anna immediately felt bored, as their words were brushed off by the woman as if they were nothing—like punching cotton.
Xu Hao was somewhat surprised by the woman's impressive Qi Cultivation Skill—he was aware that for a woman being called an 'ugly monster' was probably one of the worst insults, yet she seemed completely unfazed. Xu Hao patted Chen Suyi and Anna on the shoulders, calming them down.
The conversation between Xu Hao and the mysterious woman was heard by everyone present, and it was clear to all that neither had regarded the Tu family's Third Young Master seriously at all!
The lady spoke with such confidence, she clearly possessed immense financial resources.
In that moment, Tu Yilong felt like he was going to explode with rage. It was bad enough for Xu Hao alone to bid against him, and now another wealthy player had joined!
For the first time, he realized just how poor his Tu family was!
The mysterious woman stated plainly, "Two hundred and sixty billion. Tu Yilong, can you bid any higher? If not, I'm taking it."
Tu Yilong's face turned a deep shade of red, his teeth clenching his lips so tightly he almost drew blood. He said resentfully, "The Tu family gives up!"
After speaking those words, it was as if all his energy was drained, and he slumped back into his chair.
Elder Dong immediately announced, "Two hundred and sixty billion for the first time! Two hundred and sixty billion for the second time! Two hundred and sixty billion for the third time! Sold!"
