Urban Powerhouse: Chaos Supreme

After all, even fewer words are still a piece of meat; no wonder there were several Martial Artists and Magic Users at the scene, all seemingly here for that Wood Element Energy Stone. Common people treat it as jewelry, but it is energy needed for the cultivation of Martial Artists and Magic Users.

”This necklace is so expensive, there probably won’t be many bids, I estimate no more than five people, after all, those tycoons from Jiangbei aren’t here today,” Fu Shengjie muttered to himself.

He was a local from Jiangbei and the eldest young master of the Fu Family, so he was clear about the strength of the bidders present and the size of the circle of the wealthy and social elite in Jiangbei.

”Twenty million.” Suddenly, the auctioneer exclaimed, ”Miss Mu Wanqing from Tianzi Number One Room bids twenty million, any higher?”

The entire auction hall gasped in shock once again. Indeed, it was the Mu Family, the number one wealthy family of Jiangbei, whose generosity was evident as they effortlessly doubled the bid without blinking an eye, causing the Martial Artists and Magic Users who originally wanted to compete for the Jade Necklace to frown slightly or sigh.

Let alone whether they could afford twenty million or whether the jade was worth that much, just Mu Wanqing’s identity alone was enough to deter ordinary people from offending her. Publicly competing against Mu Wanqing, one might not get the jade and could instead offend the Mu Family, leading to a loss greater than the gain.

”No wonder Miss Mu of the Mu Family would come here in person today; it turns out it was for that piece of jade,” Tong Ling murmured softly.

Fu Shengjie, with a grasp of the situation, said, ”Heh, Miss Mu really made a grand move. Now even she has made a bid, I’m afraid no one here dares to compete with her now, do they?”

”Thirty million.”

Suddenly, a soft voice rose, like a heavy slap striking Fu Shengjie’s face. His face, which had previously been slightly smiling, instantly stiffened, and then he frowned, his gaze sharply fixed on Lin Mo who was ahead.

The speaker was actually this kid.

Tong Ling slightly opened her luscious lips, revealing an incredulous expression. The other young men and women who came with Zhang Mengmeng looked equally surprised at this ordinary-looking youth.

Just a moment ago they were mocking others, and now, unexpectedly, he had directly bid thirty million. That wasn’t even the scariest part; the key was that he was now competing against Mu Wanqing, the Miss Mu of the Mu Family. This was a clear disregard for Mu Wanqing’s face.

As soon as he spoke, Lin Mo became the focus of the entire venue, attracting all eyes on him, and everyone began to guess his identity.

”This kid actually bids thirty million with the Chu Family; where does this tycoon come from?”

”No, anyone who dares to compete with Miss Mu must be the son of some powerful family.”

”But looking at him, he doesn’t seem to be one of the young masters from Jiangbei. I’m well aware of them; maybe he’s from abroad.”

While everyone was discussing, Fu Shengjie was clenching his fist, his anger fixated on Lin Mo: ”Lin Mo, what are you trying to do? This isn’t a child’s game. Not to mention whether you have thirty million, just offending Mu Wanqing means you’re in for a bad outcome.”

Fu Shengjie was so infuriated not only because Lin Mo ’slapped him in the face’ but also because Mu Wanqing was the underground queen of Jiangbei, famous for her harsh methods and exceptional abilities. Offending her could have unimaginable consequences, and might even drag them all into trouble.

Tong Ling and the other young men and women seemed to have realized as well, could this guy be... acting out because he was ridiculed just now, seeking attention on purpose?

That would be too childish and trivial!

”Lin Mo, don’t cause a huge disaster just for the sake of pride. You better quickly say it was a mistake,” Tong Ling hurriedly said, fearing that Lin Mo would drag her best friend into trouble.

Lin Mo looked indifferent. Not to mention his other assets, Die Mo Pharmaceutical alone could contribute nearly a hundred billion a year for his use, so using thirty million to buy a Jade Necklace wouldn’t make him blink an eye.

Inside the Tianzi Number One private room.

Mu Wanqing stood in front of the glass window, her phoenix eyes narrowing slightly, but from the slits, an extremely cold light shone through.

”Miss, do you want me to...” Fu Shengxue stood by her side, also frowning.

”No need, bid forty million,” Mu Wanqing opened her eyes, her face regaining its calm composure. The Mu family could afford that amount of money. Besides, she was determined to have that jade necklace.

As the price of the jade necklace soared to forty million, in the face of Tong Ling and Fu Shengjie’s incessant chatter, Lin Mo once again raised his hand indifferently.

”Fifty million.”

At this point, even Mu Wanqing, who usually had excellent composure, looked slightly displeased. In the territory of Jiangbei, no one had ever dared to compete with her in bidding.

”You go down and call Xiao Jie up for me,” instructed Fu Shengjie to one of his subordinates.

Soon enough, Fu Shengjie made his way into the private room, speaking with a hint of reverence:

”Miss Mu, big brother.”

”Is the person bidding with you part of your group?” Fu Shengxue asked with a furrowed brow.

Fu Shengjie inwardly cursed Lin Mo and relayed the entire matter exactly as it had occurred, not wanting to get in trouble because of Lin Mo.

”So, it’s just a college student trying to save face by bidding against me? Hmph,” Mu Wanqing held her wine glass and let out a soft snort, a trace of coldness flickering in her eyes.

”Miss, we don’t need to bid anymore, right? He won’t have the money to pay anyway, and eventually the Jia Family will naturally give us the item,” Fu Shengxue spoke up.

”Mhm,” Mu Wanqing took a sip of red wine and nodded slightly.

By the time Fu Shengjie returned to his seat with a stern face, everyone crowded around him.

”What did Miss Mu say?”

”Is Miss Mu angry?”

”Didn’t you tell Miss Mu that we’re not very familiar with this guy?”

The crowd murmured anxiously, afraid that Lin Mo had angered Mu Wanqing, who might in turn take her anger out on them.

”Shengjie, what did Miss Mu say?” Tong Ling looked at Fu Shengjie nervously.

”Hmph.” Fu Shengjie let out a cold snort, slightly lifting his chin in arrogance and said to Lin Mo, ”Fortunately, Miss Mu is considering the face of my brother and our Fu family, for now, she won’t hold you accountable. But later, you’d better hand over the item to Miss Mu and explain things to the Jia Family’s staff.”

With those words, Fu Shengjie was undoubtedly elevating his own status.

”Why should I give my item to her?” Lin Mo said coldly, frowning.

”Do you know who Miss Mu is? She’s the treasured daughter of Mu Chaosong. Offending her won’t end well for you. And can you even produce thirty million to give the Jia Family?” Fu Shengjie said with disdain.

After all, thirty million was no small sum.

Hearing Fu Shengjie’s words, the other young men and women nodded in agreement.

”Yeah, trying to put on a brave face but being unable to fulfill the bid will definitely not do you any good.”
