Dead silence!
The entire auction was filled with dead silence.
Everyone looked at Ye Chen’s rather mediocre face with their eyes wide open. Their first thought was that this brat was insane.
‘You choose to take all of the foreign fragments when the international bosses are fighting. The five of them aside, you can’t even handle Young Master Shen’s rage alone!’
Dai Shiyu and Wang Long were shocked too.
“Mr. Ye, w-what are you doing?” Wang Long secretly jolted. Even him, the boss of Sun Yee On Guild could not handle it in the presence of so many bosses.
Young Master Shen stared directly at Ye Chen. A smirk of mockery appeared at the corner of his lips, “What did you say?”
Tang Ning and Fang Mi smirked because they were familiar with Shen Xingye’s temper. Every time he showed that cast on his face, it meant that he was pissed off!
“I said there’s no need to fight, you guys, because I want all five of them!” Ye Chen repeated as if he did not notice Young Master Shen’s stare.
Everyone gasped.
Wang Long had a drastic change of expression. “Mr. Ye…”
“Mr. Ye, did you know that you’ve offended us by doing that?” Chiba Yoshiko smiled lightly, but there was joy behind her smirk.
A black gleam flashed through Marva’s eyes. “You foolish Chinese, who gave you the guts to say that?”
…
At the same time in Room 8, Young Master Lei secretly frowned when he saw Ye Chen who appeared out of nowhere. “What is this guy doing? I can’t believe he’s ruining my plan!”
…
“Ye Chen, do you know who you’ve offended?” Fang Mi wrapped around William’s arm in a coquettish manner and smiled at Ye Chen in pride. “I know you’re pretty powerful, but you’re wrong to think that you can underestimate William with that tiny ability of yours. I advise you to kneel and apologize right now.”
“That’s right. We can consider sparing your life if you kneel and apologize to us, then scram.”
“Who do you think you are?”
Ye Chen smiled lightly, he seemed to be in disdain. Subsequently, he lifted his eyes and said to the auctioneer on the stage slowly, “1.5 billion!”
Dead silence!
The place was filled with dead silence!
Everyone could not believe their ears!
Insane!
This guy had gone insane. He dared to bid despite facing the few international bosses’ threats!
“Great, that’s great. Let’s do this!” Shen Xingye’s eyes lit up a little before he took a deep breath in and announced, “1.6 billion!”
“He must be crazy to be comparing fortunes with Xingye!” Tang Ning scoffed as contempt filled her face.
As Master Shen’s son, Shen Xingye was almost the person that all wealthy men and bosses in Hong Kong’s upper-class wanted to know. A feng shui session from him would cost at least ten million. Judging by that, money was just a number to him.
“1.7 billion!” Chiba Yoshiko proceeded to bid.
“1.8 billion!”
“1.9 billion!”
“Two billion!”
Very soon, the first foreign fragment’s bid sky-rocketed to two billion. Many of them felt their scalps go numb.
These were the real bosses! They were investing two billion in a piece of metal. One must know that it was the first piece, and there were four more of them.
William was the one who had offered two billion.
Beside him, Fang Mi could not help but look at Ye Chen after William placed his bid. She was not hiding the pride on her face. “Ye Chen, it’s priced at two billion now. Do you have the money to follow? You’d be a joke if you don’t.”
To her, Ye Chen surely had some money. However, he could not compare with William and the rest. Moreover, he had already spent a billion on the Ghost Daisy earlier.
The people could not help but turn to Ye Chen after hearing what she said.
Ye Chen smiled lightly and lit a cigarette slowly. He spoke at ease after puffing a smoke ring, “Three billion!”
Gasp!
The people were rendered speechless in shock. They were in disbelief when they looked at Ye Chen again.
This guy!
Others were bidding at an increment of 100 million each time but he raised the price by a billion more directly. He was the real boss.
Fang Mi froze as her face was turning pale. She just had a cold blanket thrown at her.
Now, even William, Shen Xingye, and the rest were slightly stunned too. They looked at Ye Chen by instinct as their intention to bid died after noticing that he looked serene and calm.
“I’ll pass this round!” Aches from Egypt was straightforward. There were four more foreign fragments, after all, so there was no need for her to spend more money this round!
“I’ll pass!”
“I pass too…”
At that moment, William, Marva, and the rest chose to give up. When it was Shen Xingye’s turn, he inhaled deeply and forced a smile on his face. He said to Ye Chen, “I give up too. Congratulations!”
He was sure that Ye Chen would not have any more money after buying this foreign fragment. By then, he would no longer be a threat.
“Congratulations, Mr. Ye, for obtaining the first foreign fragment!” When the auctioneer hit the gavel, someone handed him the wrapped foreign fragment instantly.
Ye Chen looked nonchalant after glancing it casually. Together with the one from Wushuang, this would be the third fragment that he owned.
‘Wait for me, you old Night Demon. I’ll collect all of the fragments and I’ll find you.’
At that moment, the place was silent. It was an eye-opener for them to learn there was actually someone who dared to fight with Shen Xingye and the few international bosses in Hong Kong. What more, he had suppressed the scene.
At that moment, countless eyes were staring at Ye Chen.
There was admiration, shock, disdain, and gloating. Most of them had dense doubt on their faces. ‘Who exactly is this man?!’
The way Dai Shiyu looked at Ye Chen was gentler now. The warmth in her eyes was like a hot spring. ‘A low-profiled man who does things in a high profile manner. He’s so overbearing yet calm. That’s Mr. Ye! Compared to him, those so-called gentlemen that my family has introduced to me are nothing. Haha…’
A shadow appeared on her face.
“Next, we’ll be auctioning the second foreign fragment. The starting bid is the same, which is 100 million. Each increment is at least a million!” The auctioneer ordered someone to bring the second foreign fragment up on stage.
Marva, William, and the rest looked at each other. Threat filled their eyes. Since there were only four foreign fragments left, the competition would be tougher now.
As soon as the auctioneer was done speaking, a calm voice came when Chiba Yoshiko was going to speak, “Three billion!”
The voice was like thunder over the plains that came out of nowhere!
The people were dumbstruck!
They had their eyes on the skinny silhouette in the crowd. However, they saw that Ye Chen looked like he was chilling.
“You b*stard!”
“F*ck!”
“Baka!”
At that moment, Shen Xingye, William, Chiba Yoshiko, Marva, Aches, and the rest cursed at the same time. If looks could kill, Ye Chen would have died many times!
‘You’ve already gotten one foreign fragment, but you’re not quitting. Are you really trying to take all of them?’
Shen Xingye could no longer maintain the smile on his face. He looked rather ferocious now. “Mr. Ye, do you know how the word ‘death’ is written?”
“Five billion!” Ye Chen lifted his eyes slightly and placed a bid again!
Everyone’s hearts twitched.
‘This is a crazy world. Sir, you can’t possibly be doing that even if your family owns a bank!’
Shen Xingye and the rest froze, and they chose to stay silent at that moment. They stared directly at Ye Chen as the atmosphere was suppressive.
“Five billion, going once. Five billion, going twice. Five billion, going thrice…”
The auctioneer suppressed the excitement within her and said, “We’re auctioning the third…”
“Five billion!” Ye Chen offered again before she was done speaking.
Shen Xingye was speechless, and so was William.
Everyone was speechless.
At that moment, everyone chose to be silent, including Shen Xingye and the rest. They watched Ye Chen win all of the foreign fragments coldly because they knew that he would only bid higher if they did otherwise. Since that was the case, they chose to be silent. However, the killing intent in their eyes was getting more obvious.
‘Since you want them all, we’ll make your wish come true! Whether you’ll still be alive when you obtain all of them is another question!’
As expected, Shen Xingye, who had been quiet, suddenly walked to Ye Chen when the auctioneer sold the fifth fragment to Ye Chen. He said as he advanced, “Please make way, guys. I have to resolve a personal grudge today!”
