Young Master in Flower City

Chapter 657 - 558: Forceful Slap in the Face

Severely doubting, does Xiao Tianyu's card really have that much money?

Could he possibly be penniless?

That card of his can be used globally without limit, unique in the world, and not just globally, which shows how terrifying the identity of the person holding this card is.

Continue bidding.

Everyone understands what this implies—it means the card still has enough money, just as Xiao Tianyu suggests, can't afford to play?

Murong Bai's expression now looks quite displeased, even Murong Yunlong, seated prominently, is pleasantly surprised, evidently shocked by the scene before him, completely unexpected.

"Forty billion, first time!" The host on stage announced loudly: "Forty billion, second time, if no one raises the bid, it's sold!"

Swish, swish, swish~

In an instant, many eyes turned to Murong Bai, making Murong Bai's expression increasingly grim; if Xiao Tianyu successfully won the Blue Sea Star today, he would suffer a major loss of face.

He bid to retaliate against Gu Yunxi, but if he didn't win the Blue Sea Star, he not only failed to retaliate but also got humiliated.

Just as the host was about to call out the third time, Murong Bai finally spoke, "Forty-one billion!"

This time Murong Bai added one billion to the bid, clearly indicating his dwindling confidence.

"Fifty billion!"

Before Murong Bai's words fell completely, Xiao Tianyu softly uttered, making everyone's hearts quake—heavens, fifty billion, the Blue Sea Star had been bid up to such a colossal sum.

How could this be possible?

Fifty billion would bankrupt many businesses, yet tonight, a sapphire necklace had been bid up to such a staggering price; thus, does Murong Bai still want to compete?

Now, Murong Bai's face had turned liver-colored; although he was the young master of the Murong Group, fifty billion was still a terrifying sum for him.

Bear in mind, Murong International's total assets were merely around two trillion, with liquid capital of only a few hundred billion, fifty billion would nearly deplete a tenth of their liquid capital.

Moreover, he was just the young master of the Murong Family, not a chairman nor a shareholder.

However, if he gave up on bidding, he would become the biggest joke here tonight; but so what, Xiao Tianyu had no interest in bidding, yet someone chose to mock him; since that was the case, he didn't mind letting others taste the consequence of mocking him.

"Fifty billion, first time!" The host's voice rang out again below, with no response from anyone; the host continued into the microphone, "Fifty billion, second time!"

Murong Bai's face couldn't be described as pale now; he dared not increase the bid since he saw a warning flash on Murong Yunlong's face.

As for Xiao Tianyu, like a calm person, still seated serenely, his expression unruffled, as if fifty billion was merely a drizzle to him.

"Fifty billion, third time!"

Dong~

The wooden hammer fell as the host announced loudly, "Sold!"

Finally, completed?

The crowd's hearts could not calm; the Blue Sea Star had been bid up to fifty billion, already a terrifying sum, but what puzzled everyone was how someone in the financial world could have such a huge amount out of nowhere.

Watching the elegant goddess holding the brocade box, stepping in high heels towards Xiao Tianyu, filled the crowd with awe; who would have thought the ultimate owner of the Blue Sea Star would be a seemingly lowly poor guy?

Back to the point, is Xiao Tianyu a poor guy? If he is, why did the Blue Sea Star get auctioned off to him for fifty billion?

Does Xiao Tianyu have no money?

Is Xiao Tianyu a poor guy?

Looking back at the mocking words from Cui Yongyuan, He Yun... and others towards Xiao Tianyu, now it seems so ridiculous?

Is he really without money? Probably just too lazy to bother.

Especially when bidding for that cosmetics item, that contemptible look on Murong Pengfei's face, claiming Xiao Tianyu might still qualify if he mortgaged his villa; does Xiao Tianyu need to mortgage his villa? How is Murong Pengfei qualified?

"What can you give Gu Yunxi? Do you have a price of twenty billion?" At this moment, many recalled Murong Bai's previous remark; back then, the Blue Sea Star was bid to twenty billion.

But now?

Xiao Tianyu didn't have twenty billion but ended up bidding fifty billion for the Blue Sea Star.

This slap is not ordinary, but it's slapped onto Murong Bai's face, not Xiao Tianyu's; Murong Bai intended to humiliate Xiao Tianyu and Gu Yunxi, but unexpectedly humiliated himself?

"Mr. Xiao, congratulations on becoming the owner of the Blue Sea Star!" Just then, the beauty holding the Blue Sea Star smiled faintly at Xiao Tianyu, then playfully said, "To be your woman would be the luckiest woman in the world!"

On hearing this, Xiao Tianyu's lips curled with a faint smile, not responding, then took the Blue Sea Star from the goddess's hand while the bank staff started card processing.

Seeing this scene, Murong Bai wished his card lacked sufficient funds, but he was destined to be disappointed; the bank staff concluded card processing, approached Xiao Tianyu, and smiled, "Mr. Xiao, please keep your card safe!"

Xiao Tianyu reached out and took the gold card, then placed it in his pocket, and the bank staff left.

But just at that moment, many media reporters surrounded Xiao Tianyu.

"Hello, Mr. Xiao, as far as we know, there is no Shao enterprise in Fengzhou City; may I ask how Mr. Xiao managed to auction the Blue Sea Star with such a huge sum and directly obtain it for fifty billion?"

"No comment!" Xiao Tianyu replied with the same phrase.

"Hello, Mr. Xiao, now that you are the owner of the Blue Sea Star, may I ask, which goddess will you give this Blue Sea Star to? Is it Gu Yunxi?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Yunxi, seated above, inexplicably grew nervous; is this guy really going to give the Blue Sea Star to me? If he does, maybe I'd consider it.

Gu Yunxi wasn't greedy for the Blue Sea Star from Xiao Tianyu; whatever he gave, even something ordinary, she'd be delighted.

Swish, swish, swish~

In an instant, many eyes fell on Gu Yunxi, as if she was the heroine here, causing many women to envy and resent, especially He Yun, Zhang Hao, Cui Yongyuan, and Qiu Feng's girlfriends, their faces full of jealousy.

Their boyfriends promised to personally place the Blue Sea Star around their necks, but now? It was all wishful thinking.

At this moment, Xiao Tianyu still calmly replied, "No comment!"

"..." Upon hearing this, many media reporters were stunned; did he auction the Blue Sea Star not to give it to his girlfriend?
