"If I remember correctly, Green Pine used to be a relatively large auction company, right?" Garon was confused. "How did it end up like this?"
Fatty glanced at him and nodded with certainty. "Indeed, Green Pine used to be very famous, and had a fixed customer base both domestically and abroad. But recently, the company's liquidity has been frozen, and we can't make any quick cash flow. We were also suppressed by our former competitors, and we made a few serious mistakes when purchasing collectibles, and lost a lot of money. Anyway, it's like all the bad luck from before came all at once, and all the bad things piled on top of each other. My god … "Fatty's face was still full of sorrow and depression as he talked about what happened before.
He led Garon and Felicia to an office on the third floor. He knocked on the door. "Big Sis, someone else is here."
"Bring them in … one more won't make a difference anyway." A weak voice came from inside.
The door was pushed open, and Garon and Felicia walked in. Fatty closed the door behind them.
The room was empty except for a large long table in the middle. A young woman was lying on her stomach behind the table, writing something. She looked very tired.
The woman was very young. Even if she wore gold-rimmed glasses and a black professional uniform, it couldn't hide her youthful aura. Her long blonde hair was tied up in a ponytail, and her deep blue eyes were full of exhaustion.
She raised her head, pushed her glasses up, and looked at Garon and Felicia carefully. Her face was puzzled at first, and then she frowned. She looked a little hesitant.
"May I ask who you are …?"
Garon couldn't help but laugh. "You don't even recognize me?" His voice was still the same as before.
As soon as he spoke, Felicia's eyes widened, and she stood up with a whoosh. "You!! You're Garon!! Why are you here all of a sudden? Why didn't you tell me beforehand?!! "
Garon shook his head. "I just came to see you for something, but it looks like you're in trouble now."
Felicity smiled wryly. "It's just a small problem. Didn't you go to university? Why do you have time to come here? "
Garon found a random stool and sat down in front of the table. "Let's not talk about me. Let's talk about you. What happened to you? How did you end up like this? "
Felicity wiped her face, sat down, and said helplessly, "I'm not sure either. Ever since three months ago, it's like I've suddenly had bad luck. Nothing good has happened to me. It was supposed to be a good thing, but it turned out to be a bad thing. By the time I reacted, I was already in this state. "
Garon frowned. "Tell me in detail."
He could already feel it. There was a strong aura of the Antique of Tragedy on Felicity's body. It was very likely that this thing had caused his bad luck during this period of time.
As Felicity slowly explained, he gradually understood what had happened during this period of time.
The root cause was Navis, who went to the border of Jade Mountain Province.
Because Garon hadn't agreed to go with her, Felicity decided to go by herself and unearth the clues she'd found in the underground library.
He still remembered the message on the note.
"Navis Tsunami Mountain 174, the third tree is six meters deep. I put it there. -- Charlie. "
According to Felicity, she went alone to retrieve the item on the note, then brought it back and placed it in a secret room.
"What is it? Why are you so nervous? "Garon asked, puzzled.
Felicity glanced at Cynthia, who was standing behind Garon.
"Cynthia, you go out first." Garon waved his hand.
Cynthia nodded, turned, and left the room, closing the door behind her. Soon, only Garon and Felicity were left in the room.
"Can't tell? You're doing pretty well now, aren't you? "Felicity was surprised at the scene." I thought she was your friend. I didn't expect her to be your follower. "
"There's nothing great about it. That's all. "Garon sorted out what he'd just heard." Do you still have the thing you found? "
"No, I sold it a long time ago. At first, I suspected it was because of the Antique of Tragedy, but after I sold it, it was the same." She bent down slightly and lowered her voice. "Let me tell you … the thing I found was a very, very small wooden carving. According to my judgment, that thing is definitely a very powerful Antique of Tragedy! "
Garon looked at Felicity's mysterious face, speechless. He wanted to say that he'd seen through it a long time ago, but seeing how mysterious Felicity was trying to create the atmosphere, he didn't want to interrupt her.
Felicity's body was surrounded by a thick layer of Antique of Tragedy potential aura. It was obvious that she'd been in contact with Antiques of Tragedy for too long and had accumulated it. It would take at least a few months of bad luck to consume it. Garon thought for a moment, then immediately reached out his hand.
With a snap, he accurately caught Felicity's wrist.
"Don't worry, I'll take a look at your condition. I know a little about Eastern medicine."
Felicity's face instantly turned red. She opened her mouth to say something, but in the end, she didn't say anything. She just let Garon hold her wrist.
As soon as the two touched, the thick layer of Antique of Tragedy was quickly absorbed by Garon, leaving nothing behind.
"Alright, it's fine." Garon let go of Felicity's hand and smiled as if nothing had happened. "You're not doing very well right now. Do you need my help?"
"Can you do it?" Felicity immediately recovered and looked at Garon, half-believing and half-doubting. "You have to know that I'm lacking funds right now. It's not a small amount."
"It's okay, tell me."
Felicity knew that Garon had inherited the White Cloud Gate. However, the White Cloud Gate was just a small sect. How much money could a small sect take out?
"I need at least two hundred million in liquid funds right now." She said a number in a low voice.
"Two hundred million, no problem." Garon thought it would be a lot of money, but he didn't expect it to be so little. Not to mention anything else, just the funds from the Black Mark Association that he'd just merged with was enough to squeeze out this amount for Felicity's liquid funds. Not to mention the White Cloud Gate that had gathered a large amount of resources and was qualified to talk to the provincial government.
To him now, two hundred million was just a small fraction.
However, Felicity was a little stunned. Her mouth was slightly open and her eyes were wide as she stared blankly at Garon.
"Hey hey hey, you're not joking, are you? That's two hundred million! Not two hundred! I know that you've inherited the White Cloud Gate business, but even if it's the White Cloud Gate … isn't this a little too much? Why do I look at your face like it's not two hundred million, but two hundred! "
"I'm not joking." Garon shook his head. "I'll transfer it to you in a bit. How about the money from the Federal Bank?"
Felicity stood up and circled around Garon.
"You … you're good!"
"Alright, stop fooling around." Garon was speechless. "You just didn't know before. In reality, most martial arts sects aren't that simple. You just didn't know."
"Alright, I didn't know. But are you sure you're not joking? "Felicity still couldn't believe it.
"No, no." Garon replied helplessly. "Oh right, your family is well-informed locally. Do you know a woman named Black Orchid? She's very powerful and also practices martial arts. "
"Black Orchid, if you didn't get the name wrong, a woman with such a name in Yang Liu City is very powerful. There's only one. She's the owner of Yang Liu City's Rose-Colored Private Club. "As expected, Felicity knew.
From the information Garon had gathered, it showed that Black Orchid had a decent reputation and influence in Yang Liu City, which was why she was able to persuade the lieutenant general to speak on behalf of Behemoth Gate. Asking Felicity, who had some background, this answer was very normal.
"How much do you know about her?" Garon was still a little upset that a woman had taken his first time last night. Also, he had a deeper concern.
"Black Orchid, this woman is very mysterious." Felicity focused on her memories. "I saw her at a dinner party. She was very beautiful, very classy. At the time, she was standing with the leader of a large family. She had a very strong presence. I heard from my father that this woman is very shrewd, and has the determination to achieve her goals. She has a lot of hidden power under her. "
"How much do you know about her personally?"
"Personally? Personally? "Felicity wasn't stupid. She immediately sensed that something wasn't right. "You offended her?!"
"Don't worry about it. Tell me." Garon shook his head.
Felicity looked at Garon suspiciously.
"This woman, Black Orchid, is very strong. She's trained to a very high level. She once performed catching a bullet with her bare hands. She's a monster in human form! Moreover, he was vicious and merciless, with strong decisiveness. But I heard that she went to the Fourth Military Hospital a while ago and seemed to have contracted some illness.
But one of my brothers mentioned that she was injured by someone. She escaped with serious injuries and almost died in a foreign land. "
"Injured by someone?" Garon frowned. "How do you know such secret information? If an expert like Black Orchid was injured, she would definitely keep it a secret. "
"She was injured and almost died. The leader of the special forces protecting her was my brother's best friend. It was a secret then, but after so long, there's no need to keep it a secret anymore. The restrictions have also been lifted. "Felicity answered simply.
"Do you know who injured her?"
"Not sure."
Garon made a few guesses.
The biggest possibility was that Black Orchid's current injury had affected her strength, causing her to be unable to support the entire Behemoth Gate. She could have used the conflict with the White Cloud Gate to give in and cover up her current condition.
And his concern was related to his own talent.
Last night, he didn't react in time, but after calming down, he immediately noticed this. Could talent be passed down through the bloodline, or was it something that only he had?
With Black Orchid's personality, even if she had children, he definitely wouldn't have a chance to educate them. He didn't want to end up with an enemy who had the same ability as him. That would be fun.
After obtaining some key information from Felicity, Garon had Cynthia send a telegram to inform the headquarters of the White Cloud Gate to transfer two hundred million to Felicity's company account.
And he himself returned to the hotel he booked.
