Chapter 470: Inevitable Victory

It seems that if one wants to be a playboy, one must have the capital.

Rahman's eyes flickered with a strange glint.

Zheng Qian's heart stirred. Could it be... that Rahman is financially backing this yacht? Is this yacht exhibition today also a disguised means for him to amass wealth? To accumulate capital for the struggle for the throne?

Thinking about it this way, many things seem to make sense.

It seems Rahman is not just amassing wealth, but also in the process of selecting allies.

Then he must show off a bit. Hmm, every time there is a scene like this involving spending money, it is his moment to act cool.

"Your Highness, it seems impossible to buy it at the original price. With you hosting and presiding over the venue, I'm sure it will be fair and just. In that case... it should go to the highest bidder, right?"

Lu Xiting pondered for a moment and said slowly.

"That is only natural. With me here, the fairness of the transaction is guaranteed. Since ancient times, I believe this principle holds true in every country. Good things must be fought for. Whether it is an object, or..."

As he spoke, a flash of intense ambition gleamed in Rahman's eyes.

Although in this era, being an emperor is not as carefree as it was in ancient times, with the power of life and death, it is certainly still quite satisfying. There is no need to fight tooth and nail for it, but when the opportunity appears before one's eyes, one must still try one's best to compete for it.

"Fine, then I offer 5.5 billion USD."

Lu Xiting nodded slightly and waved his hand with a smile.

Pierce narrowed his eyes slightly, his hands subconsciously tightening. The two girls immediately flushed, their brows furrowing tightly, their legs trembling slightly, and their delicate bodies instantly covered in a crimson hue.

Zheng Qian secretly swallowed his saliva watching this, thinking that Pierce was truly a good guy, not treating his brothers as outsiders.

"Lu, it seems you are going to compete with me? Heh, interesting. To secure your fiancée, you are really going to bleed money! Fine, in that case, I bid 6 billion!"

After Pierce finished speaking, the two girls beside him let out seductive gasps, their bodies already soaked in sweat.

Zheng Qian felt a bit embarrassed watching this. Just as he was pondering how to peek without being discovered, he felt a sharp, excruciating pain in his lower back. He turned around abruptly and immediately locked eyes with Wei Rusi.

The latter glared fiercely at Zheng Qian, made a hand-knife gesture, and wiped it across her own neck.

Then, she made a gesture in the air towards Zheng Qian's "weapon".

He immediately felt a chill down below.

This female devil actually watches him so closely. Why didn't she stop him when he was taking a shower earlier? Was she enjoying it too at that time? Too busy to care about me? She really is a hateful woman!

"6 billion? Pierce, as far as I know, you already have a Mars in your family, which is also a super yacht over 100 meters long. Why do you still have to compete with me to this extent?"

A flash of displeasure flickered in Lu Xiting's eyes.

He smacked his lips and rummaged through his clothes for a while, as if searching for something.

Rahman nodded slightly to Isabella.

The latter hurriedly took a box of cigars from the cigar cabinet nearby and handed it to everyone. Lu Xiting and the others hurriedly took out a cigar one by one, looking as if they had been holding back for a long time.

When it was Zheng Qian's turn, he waved his hand, took out a crumpled pack of hard-box yebei (hard-box yebei brand cigarettes) from his pocket, and said with a smile, "I'm still used to the traditional taste from my hometown; I'm not used to smoking that."

In fact, whenever Zheng Qian sees someone smoking a cigar, he always thinks of a meme.

Cigars are not meant to be inhaled into the lungs; the enjoyment is in the process of puffing clouds. In Zheng Qian's view, this is purely showing off.

"6.3 billion."

After thinking for a moment, Pierce continued, "I really like this poseidon era. I asked just now, and those dinosaur bone fossils seem to come from my favorite Tyrannosaurus Rex, and they also come from the distant East, full of mystery. Hey, Lu, Zheng, speaking of which, this was discovered in your country."

Zheng Qian was actually not surprised by this statement.

The number of dinosaur discoveries in Jiuzhou ranks first in the world, and more than 300 species of dinosaurs have been named based on various bone fossils. He forgot which country was second, but he remembered it only had over 200 species.

"No, no, no... Pierce, you are wrong."

Lu Xiting waved his hand, glanced at Zheng Qian contemptuously, and then said, "That is not my country, and certainly not my motherland. I am a native-born American, and I have nothing to do with them in Jiuzhou."

Pierce shrugged, seemingly having no intention of arguing about this with him, just wanting to show off his knowledge.

Zheng Qian felt even more indifferent.

He thought Lu Xiting was indeed correct; he grew up in the United States, and apart from having a face of a Jiuzhou person, it seemed to be the case. But, how to put it, Zheng Qian just felt somewhat uncomfortable.

Lu Xiting took a hard puff of his cigar, as if trying to make a decision.

He stared intently at Pierce's face and said through gritted teeth, "I estimate you shouldn't be able to come up with much more money, right? If you want to take this yacht, you'll probably have to go to great lengths to launder money, and in doing so, you will lose even more. Then I will give you a price that you cannot continue to follow."

"Miss Isabella, 6.8 billion USD."

After speaking, he gazed deeply into Pierce's eyes, as if wanting to catch any emotional fluctuations.

"What!?"

Sure enough, Pierce's expression stirred, and he couldn't help but stand up and shout, "Are you crazy? Are you going to shell out 6.8 billion USD just for a yacht? Damn, did you discover a new oil field in your backyard?"

[Pfft—]

Zheng Qian and Wei Rusi, who had been watching the show, couldn't help but chuckle.

This Pierce is really too funny.

"Hehe, from the moment I learned that the poseidon era was going to be put up for auction, I had already started preparing for it. Pierce, you are not my opponent. In order to thoroughly present a gift to the Kennedy family, and for this marriage alliance, I am determined to win."

"It's just... hehe, some people really disappointed me too much."

"Do you really think that by taking that small broken boat inside for 100 million USD, you can show off in front of this young master? Wei Rusi, it seems your brother-in-law is not that impressive."

Lu Xiting was in a very good state at this moment.

Feeling the intense taste of the cigar in his mouth, he felt as if he were in the jungles of Cuba in Central America.

This feeling was wonderful.

"Miss Isabella, please arrange the paperwork. It seems Young Master Pierce has decided to concede. I can't wait to sail this yacht all the way to the Monica coast in California. Hmm, that is a private beach I bought specifically and named after Monica Kennedy."

As he spoke, Lu Xiting handed over the passport and bank card he had prepared long ago.
