There was a long string of zeros on the list, and when Xia Fei counted them, he realized that there were six! Adding on the one from before, that was a million!
One million grade 5 Origin Crystals! That was at least 400 million grade 4 Origin Crystals!
It must be understood that the annual income of a mid-tier clan in the Law Realm was no more than that, and this was grade 5 Origin Crystals. Those smaller clans might not even be able to exchange for it even if they wanted to.
Xia Fei was somewhat shocked. Based on his calculations, this sum should be around five hundred thousand, but he did not expect it to reach one million! It was much higher than he had imagined.
"Haha, Xia Fei, you've struck it rich this time! Though you can't say that you're rich enough to rival a nation, you're at least very wealthy. You can be considered the richest person in the entire Skywing Clan! "Oro exclaimed.
Li Ning noticed the doubt in Xia Fei's eyes and said, "There are several items in the transaction that our Haotian Trading Company is in dire need of, so the price is slightly higher than usual. Adding on the discount for bulk transactions, the total price is a reasonable one million grade 5 Origin Crystals.
"Haotian has always operated in good faith, so please take care of us if we have any business in the future."
Xia Fei calmly handed Rock Private Bank's credit card to Li Ning. "Just transfer it to my account. Haotian Trading Company is so generous, so I'll naturally choose to socialize with you in the future."
Li Ning nodded, took Xia Fei's credit card, and personally transferred the money.
"An anonymous account?" Li Ning was somewhat disappointed when he was done with the transfer. Xia Fei had always been secretive about his identity, and he would not have so easily taken out the account if it was registered. Li Ning's hope of finding out Xia Fei's true identity was dashed.
"Alright, the cash has been transferred to your account. I believe that you'll be attending the Haotian Trading Company's summer auction tomorrow?" Li Ning smiled as he returned the credit card to Xia Fei.
Xia Fei smiled and nodded. "I'll be there tomorrow."
…
Xia Fei left, taking with him an astronomical sum of money from Cong Haodu. His finger lightly tapped the spatial ring. Though Xia Fei had gotten rid of everything inside, he had managed to exchange them for precious Origin Crystals! Xia Fei did not lose out in this transaction.
In the headquarters of the Haotian Trading Company in Haotian City, in a large room with a view of the mountains and rivers in the distance.
The seventeen-year-old Zhou Xiaoman was currently studying a sand table. It depicted a classic battle from the previous War of Gods and Demons, the ambush on Fishless Peak.
Fishless Peak was a massive mountain with a diameter of tens of thousands of kilometers at its peak. It was named for the fact that the lake was so high that there were no fish. It was an important gathering point for the demon race and was heavily guarded.
Coincidentally, it was the Heavenly Wings Race who had carried out this campaign. A pack of high-speed wolves had forcibly broken through the tight defenses of Fishless Peak, tearing open a gap on the inside of the defensive line and letting the God Race warriors in, annihilating the thirty thousand elites stationed at Fishless Peak in one go.
Blades and sabers. Fishless of, Of Demons, and Fishless Feng., Fei, had of of of Of was had Xiaoman, and Demon Xiaoman, had, and of of of the Origin Family, was, that was, of, that the Fei, the Dragon, the Dynasty, had, that that the battle, Crystals, had been., that, had.
Her hair was short and fresh. Although Zhou Xiaoman was a girl, she dressed more like a boy. It was a pity that her exquisite face could not be hidden by clothes. Anyone with a bit of eyesight would be able to tell that she was a girl hiding behind the simple clothes.
At this moment, Zhou Xiaoman was staring at the sand table with a smile. This classic battle was like a vivid movie to her, and she could not extricate herself from every detail.
* Thump thump thump! *
Someone knocked on the door three times. Zhou Xiaoman put away the sand table and opened the door, only to see that it was her chief appraiser, Li Ning.
"Did you send them away?" Zhou Xiaoman sat back in her seat and softly asked.
Li Ning nodded. "It seems that this person has a good temper. He was rather surprised when he saw the price we offered."
Zhou Xiaoman coldly snorted. "A bunch of evil-doers. They dared to clean out the trade fair organized by the Wind and Rain Society and kill twenty thousand people. They're clearly a bunch of ruthless people. We're businessmen, and we're most afraid of getting into trouble. We must be careful when dealing with people like that."
Li Ning pursed his lips. Zhou Xiaoman was the young lady of Haotian's Zhou family. She had taken charge of Haodu at a young age, claiming to be a businessman, but those who were familiar with her would know that she was actually very passionate about fighting and killing. Unfortunately, she was a girl, and her seventh brain region was completely blocked, so she would probably only be able to think about fighting for the rest of her life.
Li Ning, with his sharp eyes, could tell at a glance that these were the items that had been looted from the Wind and Rain Society two days ago. That was why he first calmed Xia Fei down before looking for Zhou Xiaoman to come up with a countermeasure. Zhou Xiaoman immediately decided to buy everything, and the price she offered was not low at all.
Little did Xia Fei know that the Haotian Zhou family had long regarded him as a fugitive who had looted the Wind and Rain Society. At least two hundred thousand out of the one million grade 5 Origin Crystals was a favor, hoping that Xia Fei and the force behind him would not cause trouble for the Haotian Trading Company.
This was truly a joke. Xia Fei had always been a lone wolf, so how could there be any evil force behind him? The Heavenly Winged Clan was truly ferocious, but they did not engage in the shady business of robbing others.
Zhou Xiaoman was passionate about researching war and deducing tactics. Xia Fei, who was perfectly fine, had actually been deduced to be the representative of an evil force by her. It could be seen that passion was one thing, but being able to make accurate deductions was another. Zhou Xiaoman had researched countless battles, but she was still a terrible deducer.
"Have you found out who this person is?" Zhou Xiaoman stared out the window and asked.
Li Ning shook his head. "This person has disguised himself and used an anonymous account. When he left Haodu, he used an anonymous compass, too. We have no way of finding out who he really is."
Zhou Xiaoman pouted as if she was very dissatisfied with Li Ning's helplessness.
"Based on my deductions, these people are ruthless. Since they dared to overturn the famous Wind and Rain Society, your next target might be Haotian." At this point, Zhou Xiaoman slammed the table, stood up, and said, "No! My father ordered me to defend Haodu, so I must use my powerful deductive abilities to prevent trouble from happening. This is my responsibility. "
Li Ning felt a headache coming on. The young lady loved deducing, and everyone around her knew that, but it was not reliable to say that her deductive abilities were powerful. It was all just a bunch of wild guesses, but no one pointed it out because of Zhou Xiaoman's identity. Everyone was just playing with her.
Zhou Xiaoman rolled her eyes and had an idea.
"I heard that he's attending Haotian's summer auction tomorrow?" Zhou Xiaoman put her hands on her hips and asked.
"That's right. I've already booked a spot for him. According to your instructions, I have to show respect for him, but I can't be too obvious, so I've arranged for him to stay in a private room on the second floor."
Zhou Xiaoman rubbed her chin and said in a deep voice, "Very good. Arrange for me to be by his side. I'll use my careful observation and deductive abilities to determine the true intentions of these criminals! If they're really targeting Haotian, hmph! "
From Zhou Xiaoman's attitude, it seemed like she was not willing to let Xia Fei go. In all honesty, although Xia Fei had recently become obsessed with robbing others of their belongings and rapid promotion, he had never had any thoughts about Haotian Trading Firm. How did he become a criminal in Zhou Xiaoman's eyes?
Li Ning wanted to refute, but seeing Zhou Xiaoman's unrelenting attitude, he swallowed his words. 'Forget it. If the young lady wants to have fun, let her be,' Li Ning said in his heart.
…
The next day, Xia Fei arrived at Haodu early in the morning. He was wearing the same disguise as yesterday, and with his Breath Control, no one could tell him apart when he was in the crowd.
Today was the official day of the Haotian Summer Auction. Aside from the people he had seen yesterday, many dignitaries from the White Horse Constellation had appeared.
"There are even more people today, and many big shots have appeared at the same time. Perhaps something big is going to happen." The old demon lord looked around and said.
Xia Fei shrugged. "Perhaps there's something they want at the auction. In any case, this has nothing to do with me. I just want that Crimson Gold Flying Cicada Chrysalis."
After finding a place with no one around, Xia Fei tossed a grade 5 Origin Crystal to Furball. Xia Fei's current net worth was much higher than before, so Furball could eat the precious energy of a grade 5 Origin Crystal to its heart's content.
"Make sure you don't move around. It'll be troublesome if someone recognizes you," Xia Fei instructed.
Of course, no one could recognize him in his disguise, but Furball's existence was extremely conspicuous. After all, how many people in the Law Realm raised Holy Beasts? If Furball was discovered, Xia Fei would be in trouble again.
Taking out his Haotian Society gold card, Xia Fei was led to a large private room on the second floor.
The Haotian Auction House was incomparably large, like a giant opera house. It could hold no less than two hundred thousand people, and the large private room on the second floor was considered the second-best location out of all the rooms. Aside from the fact that there were more people in the room, the seats and supplies were no different from the super VIP rooms that could only hold two people.
Xia Fei found his seat and sat down. The others had brought maids and maids, but Xia Fei was alone. In truth, the twenty people in this room, be it the maids or the guests, had all been sent by the Haotian Society. After all, Li Ning was afraid that something might really happen, which was why he had made such arrangements.
From his seat, Xia Fei could clearly see the auction stage in the distance. He had an excellent view, unlike the majority of people who had to rely on screens to get a clear view even though they were present.
Zhou Xiaoman sat to Xia Fei's right, using her self-proclaimed Fiery Eyes of Truth to observe Xia Fei. Xia Fei pretended not to see this crossdresser and ignored her.
After a while, Zhou Xiaoman felt that Xia Fei was very boring. Not only did he look sloppy, he was also a taciturn person, and he did not even open his mouth to speak. Zhou Xiaoman originally wanted to determine Xia Fei's identity through his accent.
As the guests entered the room, Zhou Xiaoman's eyes turned and pointed to a person in the aisle in front of her, saying to the old man beside her, "Grandpa, look at that person. He's really interesting. He's limping, and his left step is an inch longer than his right. There's even some green fluid on his clothes. Based on my deduction, that person must've strained his right leg when he woke up this morning and fell to the ground."
The old man whom Zhou Xiaoman called grandpa had a very unnatural expression. He awkwardly laughed, praising Zhou Xiaoman for her accurate deduction.
Xia Fei felt a chill in his heart, thinking, 'You call that deduction? That man clearly just had a hernia operation, so he's walking very uncomfortably. As for that small piece of green juice, it's absinthe. Just look at his brandy nose, you can tell that he's an alcoholic. He hasn't been able to drink since the operation, so he's itching to have a drink before the auction starts. "
