Chapter 619: The Immortality Necklace is Given Away! (Second Update)
"What, the necklace of the first Pope!"
"This... This is impossible, that’s a sacred relic!"
"The Immortality Necklace, could it be... could this be the long-lost Immortality Necklace..."
"This... Lin Feng is too exaggerated, to actually wear such a holy artifact as if it were a common necklace, this..."
...
Upon hearing Lin Feng’s words, the already stupefied crowd was once again almost startled to the point of dropping their jaws. No one could believe such a scenario, that the legendary Immortality Necklace would appear in Lin Feng’s hands. How... How could this be happening, are they... are they dreaming..."
The audience could no longer express the shock in their hearts, all with mouths agape, not daring to breathe. Their minds went blank in that moment because the origins of the necklace were just too significant. What did the first Pope signify? That necklace was definitely a super holy artifact, believed to be blessed by angels to Saint Peter, a fact known to all Christians. Its value cannot be measured by money; it’s a truly priceless treasure!
And Lin Feng dared to bet 680 million US dollars plus this priceless treasure against Cui Jinhao, only a fool wouldn’t realize that Lin Feng must be absolutely certain that the crown is fake, otherwise why would he wager ten times or even dozens of times the price Cui Jinhao offered. Without such confidence, Lin Feng would never do such a thing.
This... This really is too outrageous, not even gambling should be like this. The stakes are simply too high. Compared to Lin Feng, Cui Jinhao, who everyone thought was rich, seems incredibly petty, with no magnanimity whatsoever. Just look at Lin Feng, offering so much money and such a sacred necklace, unflinched, whereas everyone saw Cui Jinhao’s reaction when Lin Feng called it a fake. The contrast between Lin Feng’s transcendence and Cui Jinhao’s worldliness couldn’t be starker.
Thinking of this, everyone present boiled over with excitement. They could never have imagined encountering such a super holy artifact at an auction. Even the presidents of several major European universities shed tears. As Christians, they of course understood what the Immortality Necklace signified and never dreamed they would see such a legendary holy object in their lifetime. The mere sight of it was more than enough to satisfy them, let alone owning it.
The entire audience was utterly astonished by the necklace Lin Feng produced, stunned and motionless. At this point, none of them doubted that the necklace Lin Feng brought out was fake. How could a person with an unlimited credit line from a Swiss Bank produce a fake? It was simply not possible. Compared to Cui Jinhao, people were much more inclined to believe in Lin Feng’s words. Frankly, Cui Jinhao truly wasn’t fit to compare with Lin Feng.
"I... Damn, Boss, you’re too awesome! There’s no limit to how impressive you are!"
Huang Shi was stunned when he heard what his boss said and looked at the necklace his boss produced. The boss really was incredibly low-key but utterly shocking. Before this, the boss had shown no sign of wealth, and then suddenly he put up 680 million US dollars and the legendary priceless necklace against Cui Jinhao. The boss’s move was so formidable that it seemed boundless; in front of the boss, Cui Jinhao’s 68 million USD paled into insignificance, to put it crudely, Cui Jinhao was no better than a beggar in front of him.
The boss made such a grand gesture that it was hard for anyone to believe. If Huang Shi didn’t understand his boss’s ways, he would not have believed the boss could carry out something so absurdly astonishing. The boss is the boss, with astronomical wealth and an inestimably valuable necklace to bet, such actions could only be made by the boss, really slapping Cui Jinhao’s face all the way to the Moon. This time Cui Jinhao was utterly defeated!
If Cui Jinhao knew this would happen, he would probably never have organized this auction. As it is, not only did he fail to show off, but he’s also helped establish Lin Feng as a high-status, wealthy gentleman. Let’s see how Cui Jinhao wraps this up.
The boss is truly the boss, too badass. Such a heaven-defying bet could only be made by the boss. If it were anyone else, they probably wouldn’t even dare to dream of it. Tonight, the boss has truly outdone himself. Truly worthy of being the boss!
Thinking of this, seeing how pale Cui Jinhao had become, Huang Shi felt jubilant, incredibly happy inside, thinking that Cui Jinhao didn’t know what hit him. Daring to compete with the boss over a woman, now he knows the boss’s power, haha...
"..."
Upon hearing Lin Feng’s words and seeing the legendary necklace he produced, Cui Jinhao didn’t know what to say. He was equally shocked, never in his wildest dreams did he imagine that Lin Feng would put up so much money and an infinitely valuable necklace to bet. This... this is just too unbelievable. Isn’t Lin Feng supposed to be a teacher? How... How could he be so wealthy, making the heir of the Six Star Group look like nothing at all? How could Cui Jinhao accept what was happening?
By now, Cui Jinhao’s mind was in complete disarray, unable to comprehend how Lin Feng had so drastically exceeded his expectations. He couldn’t fathom why everything he had planned was now falling apart, nor could he understand how Lin Feng had suddenly become so wealthy. What infuriated Cui Jinhao even more was that at the auction, Lin Feng seemed to have taken over his leading role, becoming the focal point of everyone present. How could he accept this?
What should I do? I can’t let Lin Feng steal all the glory here. No matter what, I am supposed to be the star of the auction. I won’t allow Lin Feng to outshine me. But what can I do? If things keep going this way, it could be beyond salvageable...
"I’ve never really given you anything all this time; let this necklace be a little gift for you," said Lin Feng, unfazed by the stunned expressions around him. He turned to Ding Wan’er with tenderness and put the necklace gently around her neck.
Lin Feng had a simple reason for this gesture. When he heard about the auction, he had already guessed what Cui Jinhao might be up to. Considering he had never really given Ding Wan’er anything throughout their time together, he saw this as the perfect opportunity to gift her the necklace and publicly declare that she was his woman. This would discourage any other suitors and prevent future troubles for Wan’er.
"What! The Immortality Necklace given away as a gift!"
"That’s a priceless treasure, and he just gave it away!"
"Am I seeing this correctly? Lin Feng gave the necklace to that woman!"
"My God! A priceless treasure just given away like that, who on earth is Lin Feng!"
...
Seeing Lin Feng place the necklace on Ding Wan’er, everyone felt as if their hearts might stop. The surprises Lin Feng brought tonight were simply too much for them to handle. They were unable to imagine how such an invaluable treasure could be given away like an ordinary gift. Compared to Lin Feng, Cui Jinhao’s bid of 68 million US Dollars for the crown suddenly seemed insignificant, child’s play even. What is a wealthy person? This is what it truly means to be rich. This...this is just too extravagant!
What’s more, Lin Feng’s actions and his composed demeanor sharply contrasted Cui Jinhao’s previous smugness, instantly elevating Lin Feng’s status in everyone’s eyes to a whole new level!
No one in the world could make such a gesture. That... that’s the Immortality Necklace, the ornament of the first Pope! Even those who know nothing of it understand its immeasurable value. Anyone else would have treasured it, never considering letting it go, but Lin Feng freely wore it and wagered it in bets. This...this is simply against all reason, and how wonderful it would be if it were mine...
However, after the shock subsided, all eyes returned to Ding Wan’er. Her allure seemed immense. Cui Jinhao was already smitten, having bid 68 million US Dollars for the crown to present as a gift to her, only to be rejected without a second thought by her. And now, Lin Feng had personally placed the inestimable Immortality Necklace around her neck. Who was this woman, really, to prompt Lin Feng to such actions? It was truly inconceivable...
"Clap, clap!"
"Clap!"
"Clap!"
...
Instantly, flashes from countless cameras began to wildly blink, illuminating Lin Feng and Ding Wan’er as if it were broad daylight. Everyone wanted to capture the moment; it was simply astonishing. If word of this event got out, it would be sensational news. Gifting a timeless treasure would certainly capture everyone’s attention!
Moreover, the entire audience stood and burst into applause, celebrating Lin Feng’s move. Perhaps only someone like Lin Feng, who cared so little for money, could afford to be so generous in pursuit of a woman’s smile. Moreover, Lin Feng and Ding Wan’er truly made a handsome couple, a match seemingly made in heaven...
