Chapter 608: Night Paradise Is Auctioned Off
This is equivalent to personally pushing An Feng into the hands of those executioners to be erased.
An Ke (Grandma An) knew An Feng wouldn’t escape this ordeal, so she packed her sister’s things overnight, took all their money and valuables, and sent her onto a ship heading overseas.
Thus, An Feng left her homeland and began her journey wandering abroad.
In fact, An Feng did not just admire beautiful women; men were also within her appreciation.
She wandered abroad for more than a decade, relying on her own charm, and met many men and women.
But only one man conquered her.
That was her husband, the former Family Head of the Darwin Family.
That man gave her everything she wanted—money, fame, profit, authority.
As long as she desired it, that man placed it all at her feet.
Unfortunately, she did not give him a child.
Because of a disgraceful past incident, her body was ruined and unable to bear offspring.
Even so, the man continued to love her dearly.
Until he was killed in an assassination, An Feng lost the one she loved most.
Even after her husband’s death, he had arranged everything for her before his passing.
From then on, An Feng became the Family Head of the Darwin Family, a black widow controlling world armaments, and a Controller feared by everyone in the Royal Family.
She spent many years in the Darwin Family, having been taught so much by her husband that even after he was gone, she could control the vast Darwin Family.
All of this was arranged by her husband long ago, leaving her with a group of loyal followers to assist her in securing the position of Family Head.
An Feng calmly recounted all that she had experienced over the years in a steady voice.
She was not afraid of others knowing her past, as An Mingji before her was her only family left in this world.
The girl sitting beside him, wearing the An Family’s ancestral ring, could potentially be the daughter-in-law of the An Family, so she had no qualms about opening up and sharing all this.
Hearing An Feng’s brief words, recounting her decades of experiences, Gu Jin and An Mingji were both silent.
They didn’t know how to evaluate the seemingly elegant yet fundamentally strong An Feng before them, or perhaps the Lady of Darwin, the Family Head of the Darwin Family.
An Mingji’s initial rejection gradually dissipated because of An Feng’s words.
For this stunningly remarkable grandaunt before him, he inwardly accepted her, possibly because of her bold and passionate nature, or because her face was so similar to his grandmother’s, easing his reservations and soon feeling a sense of intimacy.
"Ladies and gentlemen, next in tonight’s final highlight is the auction of Night Paradise! This time, the esteemed guests may bid with unlimited increments; the starting price is fifteen million!"
This meant that there were no constraints on the increments, and next would be the time for everyone to compete financially.
Fifteen million is certainly not a small sum, equivalent to four to five hundred million in later times.
In the audience, Paddle Number Thirty-Four rose: "I bid sixteen million!"
The auctioneer immediately said: "Sixteen million, is there more? Sixteen million once, sixteen—"
Paddle Number Seventy followed up: "I bid seventeen million!"
Without waiting for the auctioneer to speak, Paddle Number One Hundred and One rose: "I bid twenty million!"
Auctioneer: "Twenty million! Twenty million once—"
Paddle Number Forty-One rose: "I bid twenty-one million!"
There was still no shortage of people competing for Night Paradise at the auction scene.
However, the Mu Family in the VIP seats, as well as Qiu Qianghai, did not make any moves.
Even upstairs, the Darwin Family, who came for Night Paradise, remained silent, but the Hong Kong businessman whom Qiu Qianghai had investigated made a move.
