Chapter 1205: Chapter 754: The Lin Sisters
“`
“A piece of broken jade actually fetched a sky-high price of eleven billion! Eleven billion, how much money is that? Sister, do you realize that prodigal son actually bid eleven billion for a piece of broken jade? Doesn’t he know that the first bid is usually a shill from the auction house? I think this guy definitely has a screw loose, belonging to the type who has more money than sense.”
In the sa area at the back of the hall, just behind Chu Mo, a young girl’s voice could be heard mocking in a low tone. Chu Mo couldn’t help but slightly curl his lips upwards as he glanced at Tianya’s stiff posture beside him.
With a hint of amusent in his eyes, Chu Mo turned his head to see a girl about eighteen or nineteen years old behind him, staring at Tianya with curiosity on her face.
At that mont, beside the young girl, a slightly older and more tranquil girl imdiately reminded her:
“Shh, keep it down, you foolish girl. Do you even realize where we are? This is the Great World Auction House, where everyone who can enter is a top-tier billionaire. We’re only here because we sneakily took dad’s invitation. Everyone here has a significant status.
The ‘fool with more money than sense’ that you’re mocking, do you really think he’s an ordinary person? What kind of status must soone have to casually drop eleven billion without even batting an eyelid? Such a person’s net worth is at least several hundred billion or even trillions. Our entire family’s worth is rely tens of billions; compared to them, we’re not even fit to carry their shoes. What right do we have to laugh at others?
Moreover, since the person spent eleven billion on a jade stone, even if it seems useless to us, who knows, it might actually beco a priceless treasure in their eyes? The world is vast, and anything, no matter how strange, is possible.”
The older girl was obviously more composed. She appeared to be in her early twenties and was noticeably more sophisticated and tactful than her younger sister.
The composed girl was nad Li Wei’er, and the girl beside her was her younger sister, Li Ling’er. The sisters lived a life of luxury, with their family business starting in retail and the entire Li Group valued at over ten billion, ranking within the top twenty in Capital City.
As the daughters of the Li Group, the sisters lived a life of privilege. The younger sister, Li Ling’er, was particularly vivacious and had caused quite a number of troubles since her childhood.
This ti, the Great World Auction House had issued thousands of invitations worldwide and invited all the top forces in Capital City. It was also Li Ling’er who had stolen their father’s invitation to gain entry to the auction house; without it, the two young ladies would not have been eligible to enter.
The younger sister, Lin Linger, though young and fearless by nature, still failed to gauge the seriousness of the venue. In fact, when Lin Linger spoke earlier, she had kept her voice very low, so low that an ordinary person wouldn’t have been able to hear it at all, not even her sister Lin Weier, unless she leaned in close.
Unfortunately, their whispered discussion was about the Half-step Celestial God, Tianya. It was not just their secret conversation but even if they were hundreds of ters apart, Tianya could still hear their words very clearly.
As for Chu Mo, he could barely make out the girls’ conversation, purely because he was sitting in the row in front of them and thus close enough to hear.
At that mont, seeing her sister’s cautious deanor, the unrestrained Lin Linger once again glanced at the scant few people in the front row, including Tianya, and whispered to the tranquil girl beside her:
“Sister, rest assured, unless he has ears that can hear the wind, how could he possibly hear our conversation? Besides, have you ever seen this guy before? I sure haven’t. He’s not an heir to the eight major families, nor is he a young heir to any wealthy clans, and this guy loves to show off. If he really were so important figure, we definitely should have seen him before, or at least heard of him. Yet there’s not even a ntion of him in the entertainnt gossip; he’s certainly not soone remarkable.”
The tranquil girl beside her also stared intently at Tianya’s back, racking her brains, but still unable to find any information on him. Then, Lin Weier leaned in and whispered in her sister’s ear with a hint of puzzlent:
“This person doesn’t seem to have any public image. I’ve listed all of the top second-generation rich kids in Hua Country in my mind, fearful that you might trouble soone you shouldn’t. Heirs of the eight major families, the heirs of the four major clans in Magic Capital, but even those top-tier rich second generations only spend tens of millions on a car or hundreds of thousands in a night club, which would make news headlines. Soone like him, who could throw down eleven billion in one go… Honestly, not a single rich second generation could do that.”
While the two sisters whispered behind his back, the auction finally entered its closing stages and the climax was about to begin.
At that mont, as the last item on display, and also the finale, a No.2 Longevity Pill was brought to the stage. As the auctioneer gently opened a delicate wooden box, a smooth pill the size of a thumb appeared before everyone’s eyes.
And the mont the wooden box was opened, an incomparable and magical fragrance began to perate the entire hall. Almost simultaneously, the two sisters behind stopped talking, and everyone looked on with bated breath, followed by deep breaths.
