26: Chapter 26 National Treasure Jade Seal

The auctioneer unveiled the red cloth covering the imperial seal.

The seal inside the cover was emerald green, with a rich color; a lifelike dragon was carved upon it, exuding a mysterious and noble aura.

Private Room 3: "20 billion!"

This time, no one on the first floor placed a bid.

Private Room 10: "30 billion!"

Private Room 2: "40 billion!"

This was a national treasure of Huaxia; it was impossible to let it leave Huaxia's soil again.

Thus, everyone held nothing back, increasing the bids by tens of billions.

"A Yan, Brother, why don't we give all our money to Private Room 2?" Lou Zhiwei looked at the two and proposed her suggestion.

The two didn't think for long before knocking on the door of Private Room 2.

Inside Private Room 2, their expressions were very solemn as they watched the Sakura Country continue to bid.

They had only brought 60 billion this time, but now the Sakura Country had already bid 50 billion.

Even if the other private rooms continued to bid, it wasn't certain they would secure the national treasure in the end.

"Professor Qi, we won't be able to get this national treasure; the Sakura Country came prepared, they just want to make our country lose face." A young man said indignantly.

"I don't know what that person on the third floor is doing? Spending so much money on jewelry, they didn't know to save some to buy the national treasure." Another young man complained.

"Wang Hu! The money belongs to them, so they can buy whatever they want; you have no right to criticize others." Professor Qi looked at him disapprovingly.

"Professor Qi, I'm sorry, I was just a bit anxious." Wang Hu lowered his head to admit his mistake, but there was no hint of apology in his eyes.

"Heh! Seeing someone casually take out tens of billions to buy jewelry, your resentment towards the rich has surfaced again, hasn't it?

I really don't know how a grown man can be so narrow-minded; you don't have the ability to make money yourself, yet you envy the Fugui."

The only young girl in the private room looked at him with disdain.

"Zheng Baozhu, shut up, I'm not that kind of person." Wang Hu glared at her fiercely.

"Someone's getting angry because they're embarrassed; you're incompetent and yet you won't let people talk." Zheng Baozhu wasn't afraid of him at all.

"You..." Wang Hu wanted to say more, but the private room door was knocked on.

"Professor Qi, this is the money our two families prepared to bid for the imperial seal today, but seeing the current situation, it's not enough.

So we thought of giving the money to you to bid." Xi Yan explained the reason.

"I am truly grateful to your two families; with this money, the imperial seal will definitely not be taken by the Sakura Country people." Professor Qi stood up and thanked them solemnly.

"For the country, it is naturally our duty." Lou Jingyao was also rarely serious.

Ever since Lou Zhiwei entered the private room, Wang Hu's eyes had not left her.

"If your eyes look at my sister so lecherously again, they won't need to exist anymore." Lou Jingyao looked at him with cold eyes.

"I'm sorry, I was impolite." Wang Hu was frightened by his gaze and quickly looked away.

"Professor Qi, we won't disturb you further." With the money delivered, Xi Yan and the others took their leave.

"Wang Hu, go back to school after we return this time." After they left, Professor Qi's face was very grim.

"Professor Qi, why? I didn't do anything wrong! Was it because I was staring at that woman just now?

But everyone has a love for beauty; I don't think I'm in the wrong." Wang Hu looked at him with indignation.

Professor Qi gave him a deep look without saying anything and continued to increase the bid.

"Young Master, the Xi Family and Lou Family from the Imperial Capital went to Private Room 2. Should we go and show our support?"

In Private Room 8, a butler approached a young man in a wheelchair to ask.

"No need, the one on the third floor will take action today; there's no need for people like us.

Xi Yan only went to show goodwill because of that project in his hands."

Clang!

Watching the cup slip from his hand, a glint of sinister gloom flashed in the young man's eyes.

Although the young man was in a wheelchair, he could temporarily stand and walk.

This young man was the Young Master of the Fu Family, the number one family in the Magic City.

Rumor had it that the newly appointed Young Master of the Fu Family in the Magic City, Fu Sheng, was ruthless.

He rose to power by stepping on the blood of his family, but he soon met with retribution.

Not long after, he was diagnosed with a terminal illness, and everyone cheered.

Only those in the Fu Family knew how much grievance Fu Sheng had suffered at home.

Simply breaking both legs of the former head of the Fu Family and sending him to prison was far too lenient.

As for the rest of the Fu Family, they were all sent away by Fu Sheng using various reasons or excuses.

Now, the vast Fu Family only had a few servants and Fu Sheng.

[Sister, I have good news for you. I just communicated with the main system.

Today, as long as you spend 200 billion, you can offset 50 points.]

"Not bad. I'll let the matter of you hiding things from me slide, but you must explain the rules clearly to me next time."

Gao Ying was happy to hear this; after all, being able to offset points just by spending money was a great deal.

"A Lin, 100 billion."

Gao Ying didn't want to waste time with the Sakura Country people and directly raised it to 100 billion.

"The third floor actually went straight to 100 billion! As expected of the person behind the Auction House."

"I'm almost resenting the rich; how does 100 billion look like 1,000 yuan to the person on the third floor?"

"The person behind the Auction House is a girl. If you have marriageable sons at home, hurry up and call them to come over."

Some people wanted to take a shortcut; if one of them was favored, it would be great.

In an instant, everyone on the first floor who had sons was making calls, telling them to quickly come to the entrance of the auction.

"How can this be? How can she still have so much money? No, I want a capital verification." Seeing the price she quoted, Matsuki shockingly picked up the phone in the private room to state his demand.

"Your Highness, the Sakura Country person wants a capital verification." Yin Feng reported after receiving the call.

Guibao, what is the maximum amount of funds the Sakura Country can produce?" Gao Ying didn't reply immediately, but instead asked Fugui.

[Sister, please wait a moment.]

[Sister, I found it. The most the Sakura Country can produce this time is 120 billion.

However, this Matsuki is quite cunning; he actually faked it, adding a 30 billion bad check to the account.]

"Fine. However, I also want a capital verification. If the Sakura Country wants to continue bidding, they can, but if it exceeds the verified capital...

Then they must leave behind half of the money; otherwise, their country will have to come and redeem them.

After all, a nation has its laws, a family has its rules, and every group has its own regulations."

This time, Gao Ying wanted the Sakura Country to lose both the bait and the fish.

The auction was suspended, and both parties began capital verification.

As Gao Ying and her group came down from upstairs, they ran into Xi Yan and the others.

"I'm sorry, Miss Gao, my younger sister is mischievous and has made a fool of herself." Xi Yan glanced at Xi Yutang and looked at Gao Ying with an apologetic tone.

Xi Yutang shrank her neck when her elder brother looked at her and hid behind Gao Ying.

"No matter, your sister is very cute. If Eldest Young Master Xi doesn't mind, could you let her accompany me?

It would be even better if this beautiful lady joined as well."

Seeing Lou Zhiwei, Gao Ying's eyes lit up.

As expected of a girl raised by a top-tier family in the Imperial Capital; the first impression she gave was very comfortable.
