669: Chapter 672 Supreme Card

In a single afternoon.

Lu Chen had raked in nearly three hundred billion primordial coins.

This fortune.

Was comparable to the entire net worth of some weaker races.

But more importantly.

He had declared to the world: he held the power of evolution in his hands.

The stage lights dimmed.

Yet not a single person made a move to leave.

Seventy-nine experts of the Eternal Realm, royal Guardians, and business tycoons all stood at the doors of their private boxes.

They didn't want to go home.

They wanted an audience.

They wanted to see the mysterious member of the Demon Race who had just overturned their world.

They knew clearly.

That from this day forward.

The economic and power structures of all races would be controlled by one man.

And they.

Desperately wanted to be on his side.

Lu Chen stood in the VIP room.

Looking down at the crowd below.

He could feel the burning questions in their eyes.

He knew exactly why they refused to leave.

They wanted a piece of the pie from him.

They wanted to know the man who could bottle the "power to change destiny."

And so.

He granted their wish.

A dark flash of light flickered.

Lu Chen instantly appeared on the stage.

As soon as he spoke, the air seemed to vibrate.

"Thank you all for participating in today's auction."

His voice was gentle yet carried an unquestionable authority.

"To ensure fairness, this shop will hold a regular auction every month, and a grand auction of today's scale every six months."

"I look forward to your next visit."

The entire venue instantly became excited.

Faces were full of anticipation.

They finally had something to look forward to.

"The main body of the Giant Tower will officially open in five days."

Lu Chen continued.

"Inside lie many mysteries waiting for you to explore."

"We will also launch a membership card system; cardholders can enjoy discounts and exclusive privileges."

"The Ranks are divided into: Black Iron, Bronze, Gold, Platinum, and Diamond."

He paused, waiting for the crowd to digest this news.

"Finally, there is the Black Diamond Supreme Card."

"This card is reserved only for special individuals. There are only seven in the entire Dragon Realm."

"I have already gifted one to Lady Nian Yin. The remaining six will be personally granted by me to those I choose."

"The prices for the other cards will be announced in three days. I wish you all a pleasant time."

Without waiting for anyone to shout questions or rush the stage to curry favor.

Lu Chen vanished directly.

He had no time to deal with their flattery.

He had more important things to do.

For instance, going to see Nianwei.

Outside the main hall, the crowd gradually dispersed.

Loudly discussing the "Supreme Card" and the Supreme power newly born in this city.

In a quiet corridor.

Lady Ao Zhu intercepted Nianwei's group.

She no longer wore the look of a kind teacher.

Only a cold mask of greed remained.

"Nianwei, go see Mr. Lu right now."

Ao Zhu commanded, her voice cruel and low.

"The others and I will leave first. You know what to do. Don't come back empty-handed."

Back when Ao Yan wanted Nianwei.

Ao Zhu had only dropped hints.

But now, having witnessed the wealth and power Lu Chen held, she was making naked threats.

Tears welled in Nianwei's eyes.

Her Soul was plunged into a deep struggle.

She didn't dislike Lu Chen.

But she was a proud woman.

She didn't want to become a tool used to entice a man.

Her heart was heavy, but she looked at Nian Yin.

If she failed, Ao Zhu would destroy Nian Yin's future.

Nianwei felt trapped by her own weakness.

Ao Zhu then looked at Ke Ji standing to the side.

"You."

Ao Zhu barked harshly.

"You now possess the Pan Clan Bloodline; you are very valuable."

"From now on, serve as a high-level guard for my clan. Come with us."

Ke Ji didn't move an inch.

He didn't even spare her a glance.

His gaze was locked firmly on the shadows behind her.

Seeing Ke Ji dare to defy her.

Ao Zhu's face twisted with rage.

She raised her hand to slap him, but her palm froze in mid-air.

Lu Chen had appeared before them at some unknown moment.

"Lady Nianwei, Young Miss Nian Yin, hello."

His smile was gentle.

He completely ignored Ao Zhu's suspended hand.

Ao Zhu hurriedly lowered her hand.

She squeezed out a hypocritical, fawning smile.

"Mr. Lu! It is truly a great honor to see you again!"

Lu Chen gave a cold, slight nod.

His gaze fell back onto Nianwei.

Then, he looked at Ao Zhu again, his eyes turning instantly cold.

"I can give you an Eternal-grade All-Law weapon."

Lu Chen suddenly spoke.

"In exchange, you will appoint Lady Nianwei as the chief saintess of the Ice Dragon Clan."

"You have that authority, don't you?"

Ao Zhu's heart nearly leapt out of her chest.

An Eternal-grade weapon?

Just for promoting her own student?

"Yes! Of course I have that authority! May I ask... what kind of weapon are you giving me?"

She was practically salivating.

"What weapon do you use?"

Lu Chen asked.

"I... I use a long whip."

Ao Zhu stammered in reply.

She was already fantasizing about becoming the most powerful woman in the Ice Dragon Domain.

She decided on the spot:

As long as she could continue to receive such gifts, she could train even more and even more beautiful girls.

"Very well. Go and appoint her as the chief saintess today."

"I will have your weapon ready. This is the contract."

Lu Chen handed her a glowing paper scroll condensed from Law energy.

Ao Zhu didn't even look at the fine print.

She signed her name immediately.

Lu Chen turned to Nianwei, his expression softening instantly.

"Lady Nianwei, would you like to take a tour of my firm?"

Nianwei did not answer.

She kept her head down.

A single tear fell, splashing onto the ground.

She thought Lu Chen had "bought" her from Ao Zhu.

Her heart was filled with shame.

"Lady Nianwei, look at me."

Lu Chen said softly.

She looked up, her eyes red.

"You don't owe me anything."

"I do this simply because I want to. I don't need any return from you."

"This is my promise. Try to smile more; you look better when you smile."

He didn't give her a chance to argue.

He turned to Ke Ji.

"As for you, Ke Ji... it seems we have an agreement?"

"Didn't you say you'd give me a shoulder massage? Now, it's time to fulfill that promise."

Ke Ji was stunned, his face full of confusion.

A man who could have any beauty in the world actually wanted him to give a shoulder massage?

"Uh... okay, sir."

Ke Ji nodded.

Lu Chen took one last look at Ao Zhu.

"Lady Ao Zhu, if you can take meticulous care of them, perhaps the next Supreme Card will be yours."

Ao Zhu nearly bowed to the ground.

She immediately left with Nianwei, Nian Yin, Wan Wan, and the others.

Ke Ji stayed behind with Lu Chen.

Before leaving, Nianwei looked back at Lu Chen.

"Thank you."

She mouthed silently.

Lu Chen only returned a bright, sincere smile.

"I heard that Lady Nian Yin is about to participate in the Saint Trial?"

Lu Chen called out to the young girl.

"I have something that might help. Come over tomorrow, okay? For now, go back and get some good rest."

Nian Yin almost jumped for joy.
