162: Furious

Mocked to his face by Qin Yun, Haishizi's face twisted into a contorted mess.

He had originally intended to deplete Qin Yun's funds and then have someone report his bank account for suspicious activity, completely cutting off his source of capital.

He hadn't expected things to take such a turn.

Qin Yun had sold eight million dollars' worth of cash to that young playboy in public, and many factions were now extending olive branches to him.

"Don't get too ahead of yourself. It's still early, and the winner hasn't been decided yet. I believe the one who achieves final victory will be me."

"It's just eight million in cash; I can mobilize at least eighty million. Do you really think I can't outbid you?"

Haishizi finished coldly and left directly with his bodyguards.

He was worried he wouldn't be able to resist making a move against Qin Yun and would be kicked out of the auction by the organizers.

A temporary failure was merely a small setback; he still had many ways to deal with an expert like Qin Yun.

This time, Haishizi didn't choose the options provided by The Consortium, but instead selected a safe that looked better on the outside to place a bid on.

Didn't that kid want to block him?

He didn't even know if he actually wanted this safe himself.

With plenty of money to burn, he wanted to see how that kid would try to snipe him.

Qin Yun used his Profound Vision Treasure Eye to glance at Safe No. 139, which Haishizi was bidding on.

He saw that the color of the treasure light was blue.

He sneered inwardly, and an idea instantly formed in his mind.

If a sucker like Haishizi had too much money, it was only right to let him waste more cash on this safe.

When the price reached over three million, the number of people bidding on Safe No. 139 dropped significantly.

Seeing Haishizi and Qin Yun at loggerheads once again, the other bidders all gave up.

A clash between these two would drive the price up to an exaggerated level; there was no need for others to do something so pointless.

Haishizi thought about how Qin Yun still had eight million and wanted to use this uncertain safe to drain Qin Yun's cash.

The two were tit-for-tat between three million and five million, but once the price exceeded five million, Haishizi became much more cautious with his bids.

After hesitating for a moment, he placed a bid of five point five million dollars.

Qin Yun simply shook his head, signaling his withdrawal.

There was no need to risk over five million just to trick Haishizi out of a few hundred thousand dollars.

Seeing Qin Yun give up so decisively, Haishizi was dumbfounded.

He knew nothing about this safe.

There was a high probability there was nothing good inside.

But how did Qin Yun know he wasn't actually interested in this safe?

Could it be a coincidence?

Haishizi wore a serious expression, trying his best not to let Qin Yun see through his thoughts.

This time, he didn't choose to open it on the spot, but instead had his bodyguards take it to his villa.

The crowd was a bit disappointed that they didn't get to see the full show, but since it was a safe Haishizi had won, no one could say anything.

Qin Yun felt like laughing.

Haishizi's display of guilt and lack of confidence was plain as day in his eyes.

Now he didn't even dare to open the safe he'd won in public; he truly was as timid as a mouse.

Especially knowing that Haishizi had spent five point five million to buy another worthless safe.

He was so amused he nearly laughed out loud.

Haishizi didn't realize that his schemes were nothing in the face of Qin Yun's Profound Vision Treasure Eye.

When a person knows the approximate value of a warehouse, all tactics are useless against Qin Yun.

He immediately selected a safe and began bidding.

Haishizi planned to use human wave tactics to exhaust Qin Yun's cash and energy by bidding on these safes where the contents couldn't be seen.

That kid was bound to make a mistake eventually.

He could afford multiple mistakes, but Qin Yun would exhaust most of his cash with just one.

This was the advice given by a veteran Treasure Hunter. Haishizi thought it was great and hurried to crush Qin Yun out of the game.

Qin Yun saw Haishizi start bidding on Safe No. 233 again.

He sneered; this man really was courting death.

With him here, it was impossible for Haishizi to gain anything.

A look with the Profound Vision Treasure Eye revealed a deep purple treasure light.

When the price of Safe No. 233 reached three million...

...it was once again down to a contest between Qin Yun and Haishizi.

Haishizi was much more careful with his bidding this time, and when Qin Yun reached five million, he shook his head and gave up.

After completing the paperwork, Qin Yun chose to open the safe on the spot.

Inside, there were actually US Treasury bonds.

The face value was nine million!

Seeing this, everyone was dumbfounded.

US Treasury bonds were a hard currency and very easy to redeem.

These were ten-year bonds, and eight years had already passed. In two more years, they could be redeemed at a bank for the principal plus interest, totaling nearly ten million dollars.

Everyone's eyes showed envy.

In less than ten minutes, Qin Yun had made five million US dollars.

This was a manifestation of Qin Yun's strength!

Everyone shook their heads; such courage and luck were things one couldn't simply envy.

Qin Yun had thought it would be documents, but he was overjoyed to find it was bonds.

"I'm selling the bonds in my hand for nine point five million. If anyone wants them, we can trade on the spot."

Hearing Qin Yun's words, everyone was stunned for a moment.

Why was Qin Yun in such a hurry to exchange them for cash?

There were only two years left; wouldn't it be better to let them appreciate in his own hands?

"I am Butz from the Rosen Consortium. I can trade right now."

A well-dressed middle-aged man in his forties stepped forward.

"Fine," Qin Yun agreed on the spot.

As the two went to the organizers to transfer the funds, the onlookers were filled with regret.

Why hadn't they been the first to react?

"Qin Yun really can do it!"

"At this auction, I only respect Qin Yun!"

"The unluckiest one is still Haishizi. He could have used Qin Yun to gain massive profits, but it ended up like this. It's truly hilarious."

"Haishizi is the biggest joke of this auction. This will keep everyone entertained for a long time."

...Hearing the discussions, Haishizi's face turned as pale as a ghost.

He just didn't understand why Qin Yun would win time and time again.

Now that Qin Yun had seventeen point five million in cash, the strategy of exhausting his funds was no longer effective.

Haishizi knew he could do nothing to Qin Yun today.

He gave Qin Yun a fierce glare and left.

The next day, having received dedicated instructions from The Consortium's think tank...

...Haishizi decided to use human wave tactics, splitting many people to bid on five or six safes at once.

Qin Yun was only one person; let's see what he would do.

Full of confidence, Haishizi started by having five professional brokers bid on safes.

Two of them were warehouses that The Consortium favored after gathering intelligence.

Seeing this, Qin Yun directly used his Profound Vision Treasure Eye to check all five safes.

There were two safes with purple treasure light.

He whispered a few instructions to Julia and Robert.

The three of them each kept an eye on one of the three warehouses.

In the end, Qin Yun secured one purple warehouse for eight million.

Haishizi took the remaining four warehouses for twenty-five million.

The crowd was stunned by this showdown.

They never expected such a thing to happen at the auction.

They had great confidence in Qin Yun.

However, Haishizi had taken four safes for twenty-five million, while Qin Yun had only bought one.

In terms of total value, it was hard to say.

With four safes, Haishizi was bound to have a stroke of luck eventually.

Haishizi was very frustrated. He hadn't expected Qin Yun to relentlessly bid on the two safes The Consortium favored.

He had to spend twelve million just to secure one of them.

The other one was actually taken by Qin Yun for eight million dollars.

Haishizi now only hoped that there were good things in the three safes about which he had no information.

This time, both Haishizi and Qin Yun chose to open them on the spot.

The result, however, was shocking.

The value of Qin Yun's single safe far exceeded the combined total of Haishizi's four safes.

"My God, Qin Yun actually won!"

"This, this... is Qin Yun simply invincible at auctions?"

"Heavens, what kind of monster has Haishizi provoked!"

"If I were Haishizi, I'd just leave. There's absolutely no chance of profit once you're targeted by an expert like Qin Yun."

...No one expected Qin Yun to win the duel under such a disadvantage.

In their hearts, they placed Qin Yun on a very high pedestal.

They intended to befriend and flatter Qin Yun; at the very least, they couldn't provoke him like that unlucky guy Haishizi.

"Very good, very good!"

"I will definitely make you pay the price!"

Haishizi dropped a parting threat and turned to leave.

He made up his mind that no matter the cost, he would make Qin Yun die in Libya, even if it meant offending Leon!
