Omnipotent Overlord

Chapter 45: Private Auction



With the final item sold off, the auction had come to a close, followed closely by a party. 

The popular singer Lin Jing walked on stage and started with the song that made her famous.

“Please, this way.” 

In the meantime, Huang Lixing and Li Mo were guided as honorable guests by the host to participate in the private auction. 

Su Haonan and Ye Yunfei, who had the same qualifications, didn’t join. The former already left after getting the Jade Pagoda while the later walked away depressed.

All this time, An Yuxin had been holding Li Mo, not letting go for even a second.

The men guarding the entrance to the private auction blocked Li Mo and An Yuxin.

On the grounds the items presented inside were classified, not even ‘Grandmaster Huang’’s apprentice was allowed entry.

Huang Lixing was the only one who could.

“It’s fine.” Li Mo didn’t attach any value since he got what he came for.

Huang Lixing straightened his coat, “It is getting late Li, cough, Xuanqing. Take the girl home. Be careful on your way out, those two didn’t look too friendly.”

“Alright.” Li Mo nodded.

“This way, Grandmaster Huang.”

“Brother Hu, please.”

Hu Dezhi and Huang Lixing yielded each other’s way as they entered.

Li Mo and An Yuxin left.

What was meant to be, was meant to be. Ma Changhe and Yang Jianchuan were in their car waiting outside the auction.

The two minivans behind them were packed with 26 thugs of Ma Changhe’s, something he cooked up for while now as Li Mo and An Yuxin were still inside.

“I’ve asked many of my friends about Li Xuanqing and Grandmaster Huang, but no one heard of them.”

Ma Changhe said to Yang Jianchuan who looked ready to tear someone to shreds, “But one thing I did find out.”

“Spit it out already.” Yang Jianchuan was in the worst possible mood.

“Y-yes, I heard Qin Zhen gifted 15% of his company’s stocks to an expert who healed him.”

“Where are you going with this?”

“Think about it, Director Yang. You know everyone in the Shenjing Province who can take out a billion without batting an eye.”

Yang Jianchuan grunted.

“Yet these two are unknown. Something definitely stinks here. Following this trail of thought, it was all made obvious.”

“What’s obvious? You’re saying that Grandmaster Huang cured Qin Zhen?”

“Correct! This is the only logical explanation!”

Yang Jianchuan mulled for a bit, before his eyes lit up.

“That means they have no background. They forked a billion at the auction because of Qin Zhen’s money!”

“@$%!, they almost had me running scared!” Yang Jianchuan cursed, yet his face was looking better.

“No matter how you look at it, they’re just some damn yokels who struck it rich. What’s there to be scared of? Old Ma, how many did you bring?”

Yang Jianchuan changed the way he addressed Ma Changhe because this information was of extreme importance.

“26. Rest assured, my men are professionals. The two won’t escape us.”

“Good. We aren’t through with them just yet. We have to also make them cough up all of Qin Zhen’s money!”

Ma Changhe’s eyes sparkled, “Yes, Director Yang, you’re truly wise. Don’t you worry, I am quite adept in kidnappings and ransoms!”

“Don’t forget An Yuxin. I want to have some fun tonight.”

“That is only natural.”

Li Mo and An Yuxin were now stepping out while the two in the car ironed out the details.

“Young friend!” Qin Zhen stepped out of the car. He was also here today, but only to watch the hustle and bustle. Li Mo noticed him in the crowd but had no reason to engage in talks with him. 

“Old Qin.” Li Mo cupped his hands.

“Young friend, I’m feeling great these past days. Thank you for your marvelous handiwork.”

An Yuxin’s eyes went wide, curiosity getting the best of her.

‘Marvelous handiwork?’

An Yuxin suddenly became conscious of her hand in Li Mo’s.

She swiftly pulled it back.

“Young friend, I’m not sure if I should say this. Feng City is teeming with people of all natures, vicious, strong, scheming, and seedy. It is easy to suffer without a strong background. Please take care when you go out.”

The number of those lusting after Li Mo’s billion RMB worth Millennium Cold Jade wasn’t small. Qin Zhen saw this and especially waited for Li Mo to come out and warn him.

“Old Qin, thank you for your good intentions. But with my abilities, I fear no one can handle me.”

Qin Zhen chuckled, “Young friend, take care. Give my regards to your master.”

Li Mo cupped his hands.

Ma Changhe and Yang Jianchuan also witnessed this event.

“It’s real!” The two cried simultaneously.

Qin Zhen left in his car and An Yuxin could no longer take it.

“H-how do you have so much money?”

“Can’t I have a lot of money?

“Uh, I didn’t use to have this much. It all came from curing this old man’s illness.”

“You’re a doctor?”

“No.”

“H-how much did he give you?”

“Around 2 billion.”

An Yuxin trembled.

“That was before. Now I don’t have as much.”

“D-do you have 5 million?” An Yuxin’s spoke softly.

“That I have.”

“C-can…” An Yuxin’s voice grew softer and softer.

She didn’t have the nerve to ask him to lend it to her.

‘What are we? Just classmates. A few RMB is ok, but never 5 million!’

An Yuxin found herself in Ma Changhe and Yang Jianchuan’s company because her father was very sick and needed 5 million for medical expenses. She needed half a month to get that kind of money or her father would be without hope.

In her anxiety, An Yuxin recalled her father’s comrade in arms, Ma Yu’s father, Ma Changhe, having that kind of money. 

Ma Changhe listened to her story and agreed on one condition. To act as Yang Jianchuan’s mistress until she was 30.

An Yuxin agreed and Ma Changhe brought her here. If it weren’t for Li Mo, she would’ve been sitting in Yang Jianchuan’s car by now.

“Little Xin, what are you stammering about?”

Ma Changhe and Yang Jianchuan approached.

An Yuxin paled, hiding behind Li Mo.

“You think money is enough to save your father? Don’t you know the number of doctors in this country that can save him can be counted on one hand? Even our Shenjing Province only has one such doctor.”

Ma Changhe laughed coldly, “She is none other than Director Yang’s wife, Liu Shuyi, vice-president Liu!”

Yang Jianchuan stuck out his chin as he sneered.

An Yuxin shivered. She indeed saw that name on her father’s medical record.

“You think money is enough?”

“I will give you a chance. You have until the count of three to come over, or you will have no one to blame but yourself for the consequences!”

“One.” Ma Changhe lifted a finger.

“Two.”

“Three!” Li Mo spoke as he stood before Ma Changhe.

The minivans’ doors burst open and 26 men rushed with machetes and baseball bats.
