Chapter 105: Scum World
Chapter 106: The Scum World
As the emcee dropped the hammer, all the eastern regions fell into Shoulang's hands. Shoulang smiled slightly, but he was a little hesitant. After all, 70 billion was all his assets now. Whether he could win the auction later depended on Mingya. With his right hand resting on the sofa and pressing against his temple, Shoulang tapped the Bluetooth headset on his ear aimlessly.
"Ah, I got the skinny wolf." I said lightly on the other end of the headset.
"Mr. Mingya, where are you?" Skinny Wolf asked in a very small voice.
"Just below the Soul-Sorrowing Stand." The thin wolf glanced down along the stands. At the back of the crowd, a pale golden color was hidden in a dark corner. He took out the chewing gum that he had been chewing for a long time and stuck a black button on the gum. When everyone's eyes were focused on the MC, Mingya exerted force with his hand, and the chewing gum with the button flew straight to the stands above his head and stuck to the bottom of the stands. When the thin wolf came to his senses and looked at Mingya, the pale golden color that was there just now had disappeared.
"Mr. Mingya, what are you doing..."
"It's just to ensure the last resort. Don't worry." As I was talking, I had already turned around from the stairs on the first floor to the second floor, standing outside the door of the Soul-Sorrow Stand. I had attached a small button to the eaves of the upper door. Similarly, I also attached a button to the eaves of the stand where Ito Naoki was standing. "Continue your auction. Your fortune has been used up. The remaining plots must be acquired within 670 billion. You are responsible for how to allocate them. I will continue my work. Remember, no mistakes are allowed this time, otherwise our plan will end in failure."
"I understand. Please rest assured." After a brief conversation, the thin wolf regained the confidence he had during the auction. Looking at the cruel cigar waiting opposite him and the red-banded king snake who looked disdainful, the thin wolf showed a cold smile. The smile was fleeting. And the battle has just begun.
The handover of the two plots of land took a lot of time, and the contracts were very complicated. After a series of operations, Skinny Wolf officially received the contracts for the two plots of land. At the same time, the next plot of land was also auctioned. The southern area was not outside the contract between Skinny Wolf and Ito Naoki. So, a price tug-of-war was launched. For the southern inland area with a reserve price of 30 billion, Skinny Wolf directly called out 40 billion, but how could Ito Naoki give Skinny Wolf a chance to continue calling out 41 billion? Every time Skinny Wolf asked for a price, Cruel Cigar would suppress him. Finally, Skinny Wolf called out 48 billion and stopped. He let Cruel Cigar call out 49 billion.
"Four hundred and ninety billion for one time." Seeing that no one was bidding higher, the host asked.
"Four hundred and ninety billion twice."
"Fifty billion!" A male voice sounded from the first floor stand. Everyone's eyes were cast there. It was a very ordinary company executive. Judging from his clothes, he didn't look like a rich man. It might be an order from his superior. Fifty billion, I believe it is all the money he can afford. Seeing someone shouting such a high price, Ito Naoki also achieved his goal. He waved his hand to indicate that he gave up the auction, and the land was easily won by the participant on the first floor.
————The scent of orchids, the scent of lavender, the scent of home & the wings of angels, the wings of demons, the wings of guardians————
Without the inland, the two pieces of land would no longer be complete, so Cruel Cigar did not bother with the second coastal area. As a result, the coastal area with a reserve price of 20 billion was easily acquired by Skinny Wolf at a price of 25 billion.
"The one who took over Inland for 50 billion is your man?" I chuckled to Skinny Wolf through the headset at the corner of the first floor.
"Ah, it's an industrial management under my company."
"Haha, you're quite good at it. Go on." As I spoke, I attached the last button bomb to the pillar at the corner. I turned around and walked out of the venue. Due to the signing of the contract, the morning auction ended. During the lunch period, all participants will leave the venue and eat at the restaurant outside. During this period, all auction contracts will be left at the auction site and guarded by a special person. So no one is allowed to stay at the auction site during the meal. And what I have to do now is to go to the monitoring room of the auction site during the meal time. All the monitoring equipment there is removed.
Since it was a temporary auction house, the monitoring station was not far from the auction venue. Everyone went to eat at this time. The door was also locked. I easily opened the door with the lock-picking technique and sneaked into the monitoring room. I pulled out all the surveillance tapes of the entire auction house and replaced them with new ones. I determined and adjusted the angle of view. I ensured that every step I took next would not be captured by the surveillance camera as much as possible. After that, I restored the scene to its original state, locked the door of the monitoring room, and walked towards the port. Because it was time for Yetu and Tiexiong to leave at this time, and I was a little worried about Ningxue going alone.
I quickly arrived at the port. Ningxue had already arrived here with the Swift Team. It seemed that my worries were unnecessary. However, judging from Yetu's pale face, it was obvious that she was seriously injured.
"Mr. Mingya." Seeing me coming, Ningxue bowed slightly and greeted me.
"Well, is everything okay here?" I glanced at Yetu and asked Ningxue.
"Yes, everything went well. Miss Yato and Mr. Tetsukuma will leave now."
"Very good." After getting the answer, I nodded slightly. Then I turned to Yato. "Congratulations, Miss Yato, because you made the right choice." I smiled faintly.
"You..." Yato couldn't believe what she saw. After all, the person who was speaking to her was a seven or eight-year-old child. She remembered that just yesterday, the child in front of her was still terrified by the teasing of the bloodthirsty demon flower, but today, standing in front of her, the child's lavender eyes were full of maturity and fierce momentum. Her intuition told her that this child was not ordinary. And from the calmness and calmness when he walked over, she could definitely conclude that this child was a master, and his achievements were no less than hers.
"Are you Liufeng?" Yetu asked subconsciously, but she regretted it the next second. She had seen Liufeng's photo, and it was impossible for this child to be her. But...
"Well... who knows." Such a confusing answer made Yato feel frightened.
"Then Miss Yato, since you are here, I believe you have read the letter carefully, so I want to ask you here, are you willing to join us?" Without giving Yato a chance to speak, I directly stated my purpose. "When you two left Cruel Cigar, you should have known that losing the refuge of Cruel Cigar means that more people will covet your ranking. A killer without a backer will be a piece of fat meat no matter where he is. There will always be people willing to gamble their lives for a high bounty. If you join us, the treatment will definitely not be lower than that of Cruel Cigar. And you can also get enough blessings. It is a very beneficial thing for you."
"..." Silence, I knew Yatu needed time to think about it. So I didn't disturb her and let her think. "This Mr. Mingya." After a brief silence, Yatu spoke. "If you can answer a few questions for me straightforwardly, I think we will be happy to join Mr. Koga's organization."
"I'd like to hear more about it." A smile appeared on the corner of my mouth.
"First question. What is the purpose of your visit this time?"
"Take over the entire island at any cost." I said confidently.
"...What are the chances of winning?"
“I never thought about it because I had to succeed.”
"Hiss..." Yato took a breath and continued to ask, "If we join, what should we do?"
"Well... after taking over this island, Skinny Wolf's economy will also enter a period of relief, and someone has to clean up the mess outside. I believe that Swift is the best person to handle this matter. Of course, the distribution of profits will be decided by Skinny Wolf. I believe this condition is already very good for Swift."
"...Then one last question." Yato swallowed. "Who are you?"
"...a.secret.makes.a.gentlemen.more.style." With a wicked smile, I stretched out my right hand, "Then Miss Yato, I look forward to your answer."
"Hu..." Almost without hesitation, he exhaled a long breath, half bent his knees and squatted down, and stretched out his right hand, saying with a respectful smile. "I am very happy to cooperate with Mr. Mingya and Mr. Koga. I think our cooperation will be very pleasant."
"Ah, I will." Regaining my former confidence, I gently held Yato's hand.
. . . . . .
After sending the Swift Team away, Ningxue and I returned to the auction venue. After more than an hour of lunch break, everyone began to return to the venue to prepare for the afternoon auction.
"Mr. Mingya, can we trust Xunji?" Ningxue asked me softly on the way.
"It doesn't matter. After this, our main systems will be relocated here, and Swift will only help us sort out the inland affairs. It won't affect the overall situation. And just facing Hunshang Swift is already so overwhelming. If they really want to rebel, they will directly face the fifth-ranked brother. It can be said that there is almost no chance for them to survive. Besides, for someone like Swift who likes to enjoy luxury, having a strong shelter is more important than anything else. After all, if you get wealth, you must have the life to enjoy it. So their joining is inevitable, and this is why I dare to appear in front of them."
"But what if they didn't choose to join, but chose to leave? Wouldn't Mr. Mingya's appearance be equivalent to exposing himself?"
"Haha, Ah Xue, you have to remember one thing. As a killer, you must never reveal your strength and whereabouts to anyone other than your partners."
"You mean..." A trace of solemnity appeared between Ningxue's brows.
"I had someone install a bomb on the ship that left quickly last night. If they don't join..." I didn't continue talking, but just opened my lightly clenched fist in front of Ningxue. Then I continued to walk forward. On the way, Ningxue followed me without saying a word. It seemed that my action just now was something that was difficult for her to accept, but it was as easy as drinking water and eating for me.
"Axue, do you know?" I broke the awkward silence near the auction house. "I almost lost the most important person to me because of a gentle decision."
"Eh?"
"After that, I secretly vowed that I would never give my kindness to anyone except those around me. There are too many rubbish people in this scumbag world." A hint of coldness hung on his face. I walked quickly towards the auction house. At this time, I couldn't appear in the Red Snake's field of vision at the same time as Ningxue.
"Mr. Mingya..." Looking at my leaving back, Ningxue's eyes flashed with some doubt. But soon, the doubt turned into determination. After I disappeared from her sight, Ningxue took a step and walked towards the direction of the thin wolf.
