Extreme Almightiest Young Master

Chapter 616 Fake... (Four more)

A hostess slowly walked towards Cui Jinhao with a tray in her hands, the crowd watching intently. The crown sparkled brilliantly under the bright lights, captivating everyone’s hearts. Who could possibly be worthy of such a crown...

Cui Jinhao casually picked up the dazzling crown from the tray. He had prepared a lot for this evening and had been eagerly waiting for this moment. He even spent 68 million US dollars, all to win Ding Wan’er’s heart when he was most conspicuous. How could he miss this perfect moment?

Adjusting his already immaculate suit, Cui Jinhao slowly approached Ding Wan’er and stood quietly before her. Ding Wan’er and Lin Feng also hurriedly stood up; regardless of the situation, it was impolite not to do so at such a public event.

What!

A 68 million dollar crown is a gift!

Such a beautiful crown is for this woman, oh my God, why isn’t it me!

...

The lively applause in the venue suddenly quieted down at the scene unfolding before them. You could hear a pin drop—the audience, beyond surprised, never imagined that Cui Jinhao would go to such lengths, spending a fortune to buy back the crown just to gift it to the beautiful woman standing before him. What was going on... who exactly was this woman to receive Cui Jinhao’s favor, wearing a crown worth 68 million US dollars!

All the female guests were filled with envy, imagining themselves in Wan’er’s place. If someone truly offered them a crown worth 68 million US dollars, they were certain they would fall head over heels for such a man. Almost all the female guests felt hostile towards Ding Wan’er. As for the male guests, they were completely astounded. Only Cui Jinhao could pull off such a grand gesture to win a woman’s affection, lavishing such an extraordinary amount just to pursue a love interest—they felt utterly inferior...

Enjoying the shockingly amazed gazes of everyone, Cui Jinhao couldn’t be happier internally, his performance assured to win Ding Wan’er’s heart. It was at this moment that Cui Jinhao slowly began to speak.

"Beautiful Miss Ding Wan’er, from the first moment I saw you, I fell deeply in love with you. I wanted to give you a gift, but I could not find anything worthy of my love for you, except for this crown, which I believe suits you the best. So now, I present it to you, hoping you will cherish it."

Cui Jinhao spoke slowly, his tone full of tenderness, expressing his most sincere feelings. There wasn’t a single person who doubted the authenticity of his emotions. At that moment, Cui Jinhao was true to himself, for he had already fallen deeply for Ding Wan’er. This was why he had organized tonight’s auction, to touch Wan’er’s heart at this decisive moment!

The crown in his hand shone with an incomparable brilliance—no woman could resist such a fatal attraction. Cui Jinhao firmly believed this, so at this moment, he was immensely confident that Ding Wan’er would be moved. Thrilled by the thought, Cui Jinhao’s excitement knew no bounds. If Wan’er showed him a hint of affection, he’d be willing to do anything for her!

"Thank you for your preference, but unfortunately, I already have a fiancé," Ding Wan’er replied calmly. Truth be told, she too was taken aback by Cui Jinhao’s surprising action, but she quickly recovered and smiled as she declined Cui Jinhao. In Ding Wan’er’s eyes, no one compared to Lin Feng; her heart could never flutter for anyone else.

What!

Oh my God! Did I hear that right!

She actually declined a man like Cui Jinhao!

...

All the guests, who had been ready to burst into applause, were stupefied. Under such an intense courtship, no woman was expected to resist, yet this Ding Wan’er, of all women, had refused. It was incomprehensible... what was happening? Cui Jinhao was the heir to the Six Stars Group. To forsake such an outstanding man was... impossible. Any rational person knew that choosing Cui Jinhao would be the best ending.

The entire audience was left agape, and the venue fell completely silent. They could not believe such a scene was unfolding, even more incapable of believing that all of this was real. Someone had actually rejected a crown worth 68 million US dollars, and turned down Cui Jinhao. It couldn’t be true, it just couldn’t be...

No one could believe such a thing would happen—a crown worth 68 million US dollars, not just any ordinary item. Who could possibly refuse such a gift? This... this is really too incredible. Moreover, this gift was from Cui Jinhao. Any other person present would have found it impossible to refuse, yet Ding Wan’er declined. How... how could this be possible!

Just as everyone was in utter shock, Lin Feng dropped another bombshell that made all the attendees’ jaws drop.

"You actually have the nerve to give someone a fake item. Only someone like you could do such a thing!" Lin Feng’s voice wasn’t loud, but everyone in the hall heard him loud and clear. To ensure everyone could hear, Lin Feng even deliberately spoke in English, his tone filled with embarrassment on behalf of Cui Jinhao.

"Crazy, how could this crown be fake?"

"How can this be, how could this crown be fake!"

"This person must be insane, how could Cui Jinhao bring a fake to the auction!"

"This is worth tens of millions of US dollars, it cannot possibly be fake, this person must be crazy!"

...

The crowd hadn’t recovered from the scene of Wan’er’s rejection when they heard Lin Feng’s words and were once again stunned in disbelief. This was, after all, an item Cui Jinhao had brought back from Europe. Moreover, given Cui Jinhao’s status, it was even less likely that he would auction a counterfeit item. It was simply impossible!

Yet some sensible people thought to themselves, Cui Jinhao had spent so much money on this crown from Europe; it must have been authenticated by someone, how could it be fake? But... but for this man to say such a thing at this occasion, there had to be a reason. No matter how they racked their brains, they could not believe it was possible. Given Cui Jinhao’s stature, it was utterly improbable for him to do such a thing. So what... what was really going on...

The whole room was as silent as the tomb, utterly still...

"Lin Feng, you need to apologize for what you just said. This crown has its provenance, and many authoritative institutions have certified it. It cannot be fake. By making such accusations, I reserve the right to sue you!" Cui Jinhao was so startled by Lin Feng’s statement that he was rendered speechless momentarily, and it took him a while to process that Lin Feng was insinuating that the crown was a fiction, an impossibility. There had been many expert appraisals at the European auction, proving the authenticity of this crown for it to go under the hammer, how could it be fake?

Now Lin Feng’s words, unquestionably, were slandering his character. If word spread that the heir to the Six Star Group was auctioning off counterfeit goods, his reputation would be left in shreds, the laughing stock of the entire H Country. He had to address it with the utmost severity to correct the matter; otherwise, it could cause very bad repercussions for the Six Star Group. That would be disastrous.

Thinking this, Cui Jinhao’s expression turned frosty. He too spoke in English, coldly addressing Lin Feng, with one aim: to let everyone know that Lin Feng’s claim was baseless slander. From his tone, anyone could tell how irate Cui Jinhao was. Who wouldn’t be furious in such a situation?

Ding Wan’er, seeing Lin Feng’s relaxed demeanor, finally eased her worries. She too found it unbelievable that such a beautiful crown could be counterfeit and that Cui Jinhao would dare to bring a fake to a public auction. It wasn’t in Cui Jinhao’s nature to do something so humiliating, but she had faith that if Lin Feng said it was fake, it must be. Lin Feng had never acted without certainty, and with this thought, she tightened her grip on Lin Feng’s arm, her actions affirming her unwavering support for him.

"..." Huang Shi, hearing that Lin Feng said the crown was fake, was also filled with disbelief, thinking this wasn’t the script they had discussed with the Boss. Could it be... could it really be fake? It seemed impossible for someone of Cui Jinhao’s standing to bring forth a counterfeit item. This... just what was going on? How could the crown be fake?

Although filled with questions, Huang Shi still believed in Lin Feng. He had become accustomed to the Boss bringing countless surprises and was convinced that the Boss could not be wrong. Therefore, the only conclusion was that the crown was indeed a fake. And if this were the case, then not only had Cui Jinhao failed in showing off today, he had shot himself in the foot and given Lin Feng another chance to crush him—exhilarating! Utterly exhilarating!

"Are you so certain that it’s real? What will you do if I explain why this crown is fake?" Lin Feng spoke indifferently, void of any emotion in his tone.

"If this crown is indeed fake, I will destroy it right here in public. But this crown has been certified by numerous experts. What will you do if it turns out to be authentic?" Cui Jinhao glared fiercely, his patience with Lin Feng exhausted. He was about to explode with anger. He could never have anticipated such a situation and, as the heir of the Six Star Group, he would not allow such a mistake!

He had always found Lin Feng disagreeable. If not for Lin Feng’s status, he would have already sought to teach him a lesson. To face such slander in public, one could not find another person in all of H Country who would dare do this. So now, he was eager to see how Lin Feng would back up his claims. If Lin Feng couldn’t prove the crown to be fake, then today he would make sure Lin Feng regretted it, possibly even making him taste the misery of prison—based on this accusation alone.
