Chapter 72: Chapter 72: Sky-High Competition

After signing the contract, Liu Xue’s inner joy was indescribable.

After sending off the supplier with profuse thanks, Liu Xue hurriedly dialed Ye Feng’s number...

Seeing that it was Liu Xue’s call, Ye Feng answered it with a smile.

"Honey, I’ve got great news for you. The supplier issue is resolved, you don’t need to worry about it anymore." As soon as the call connected, Liu Xue’s excited voice came through the phone.

Clearly, she didn’t know that it was all settled by Ye Feng.

"That’s good news! I told you, it was just a small matter. You were worrying for nothing before." Ye Feng replied with a smile, not revealing the truth.

"You’re always right, aren’t you?" Liu Xue teased, replying in a playful tone.

Then the two flirted with each other in front of Xu Zixi before hanging up the phone.

"Why didn’t you tell her the truth?" After Ye Feng hung up, Xu Zixi asked with some confusion.

"As long as the issue is solved, does it really matter who did it?" Ye Feng smiled, not caring much about it.

Ye Feng played a silent, selfless role, not asking for anything in return, very low-key in front of Liu Xue.

"I really envy her." Xu Zixi shook her head, feeling a bit jealous.

She secretly resented herself for not meeting Ye Feng earlier or knowing him sooner.

If she had met Ye Feng earlier, she thought, she might have become the woman so happily pampered by him.

....

Meanwhile, after acquiring the Magical Artifact made by Ye Feng, Xu Hong immediately scheduled a meeting with Jiangcheng City’s elites.

Anyone with a notable name in Jiangcheng City, anyone with enough wealth, was on Xu Hong’s invitation list.

And these big shots, upon hearing Xu Hong’s invitation, wouldn’t dare disobey, eagerly showing up.

After a banquet, over ten Jiangcheng elite were brought into the living room by Xu Hong and served good tea.

Drinking tea, these elites felt a bit mystified.

Indeed, without any reason, why did Xu Hong, Master Xu, invite them to meet? It made them slightly uneasy.

"Master Xu! Is there something you wanted to talk to us about?"

"Yes, whatever it is, just give us the word, we won’t hesitate."

....

Led by one among them, the others pounded their chests, loudly assuring their cooperation.

"Don’t worry! I called you here for a good thing." Xu Hong chuckled confidently, then indicated for the item to be brought in.

Following Xu Hong’s gesture, his butler brought in a Magical Artifact.

Yes, just one Magical Artifact.

"Master Xu! What’s this?" The crowd was bewildered upon seeing the jade in the butler’s hand.

"This is a good item, get close and feel it." Under Xu Hong’s instruction, they approached the artifact curiously.

"Is this a Magical Artifact? The effect is obvious when getting close; suddenly, I feel much better."

"My gosh, I bought a Magical Artifact at an auction before for tens of millions, and compared to this, it’s just rubbish."

"Such a fine Magical Artifact, it’s worth a fortune, does Master Xu plan to sell it?"

As they approached, everyone felt incredibly comfortable and relaxed.

They were immediately thrilled, thinking such a treasure was worth any price.

The look towards Master Xu on their faces was filled with excitement.

"If the price is right, of course, I’ll sell it." Xu Hong nodded and replied with a smile.

Hearing that such a powerful artifact was for sale, these people grew even more excited and surrounded Xu Hong, loudly clamoring to buy it.

"Master Xu! This must be left for me, I’ll pay whatever it costs."

"Master Xu! How many of these are there? You must keep one for me, this is truly a treasure."

"Master Xu! Sell it to me... I want this item, name your price."

....

Judging by their looks, they seemed determined to get the artifact.

Seeing their excitement, Xu Hong smiled and gestured for them to calm down.

Once they quieted down, Xu Hong said, "This item has the effect of calming the mind, dispelling evil."

"And that’s not even the most important part; according to a master, this piece can also withstand one attack. However, after withstanding one attack, the artifact will shatter and lose all its effects."

With Xu Hong’s words, every single one of them was stunned.

"What? It can block attacks? That’s almost celestial!"

"Can it really withstand bullets and car crashes? It’s like something out of mythology, like an Immortal’s tool!"

"If it really is that miraculous, it’s worth any price to purchase."

Instantly, they were all taken aback.

Indeed, if it’s really that miraculous, then this artifact could be called a Divine Artifact, worth any sum of money.

Not to mention those intimidating effects, just the ability to block one attack is priceless.

Isn’t it? Money is important, but is it more important than life?

You can earn more money if you lose it, but if you lose your life, you’ve lost everything.

"That’s right! According to the master, this can withstand one lethal attack." Xu Hong nodded again and continued, "As you can see, there’s only one of these, and it’s for the highest bidder."

"If you’re interested, you can start bidding now."

Their assets, even at the lowest end, equaled tens of billions, and some had hundreds of billions.

This kind of provocation would inevitably make their competition fiercer—that was Xu Hong’s strategy.

"I’ll bid one hundred million." Under Xu Hong’s instigation, a chubby participant directly bid one hundred million.

But before his voice had even faded, his bid was surpassed: "One hundred and twenty million."

And this was just the beginning, as bids came in more frequently and prices soared higher.

"One hundred and thirty million!"

"One hundred and fifty million!"

"One hundred and sixty million!"

"One hundred and eighty million!"

....

Seeing the bids rising, Xu Hong nodded with satisfaction.

But indeed, such a Divine Artifact deserved such a price.

If there are no unexpected events, this item could fetch several times, even ten times, more if brought to compete before the national wealthier class.

After all, those people were so rich money was literally all they had left. Their net worth was in the trillions.

If there’s an opportunity, Xu Hong will definitely gather the nation’s wealthiest for an event.

Even in Jiangcheng, however, these people weren’t willing to give in easily.

Unfortunately, their funds were limited, otherwise, they would have risked everything to compete.

In the end, the wealthiest guy in Jiangcheng bought the artifact for an astronomical two hundred and fifty million.

Two hundred and fifty million, such a price was already extremely terrifying.

Even so, the guy who bought the artifact felt quite proud, believing he got a bargain....
