"What a surprise, the price is two hundred and fifty million. Mo Fan, you're going to be rich this time!" Zhao Manyan said excitedly to Mo Fan on the phone.
It was rare for Mo Fan to reunite with Xinxia. It went without saying that he would spend a few more days with her. He also planned to visit some of the scenic spots in the Mediterranean Sea to experience the feeling of a honeymoon.
"Not bad, are there any Soul-grade Seeds I can find now?" Mo Fan asked.
Mo Fan had just sent Xinxia off. It was time for her to report back to Parthenon. After the training, she would officially become a member of the Hall of the Goddess of Parthenon. Judging from Nanrong Ni's shocked expression, it was obvious how extraordinary it was to be a member of the Hall of the Goddess.
"Just come to Venice. I'm sure you'll find the things you're looking for. They have the biggest auction in the world. You can buy a lot of things if you have the money!" Zhao Manyan said to Mo Fan.
Mo Fan now had eight hundred and fifty million on him. It was a huge sum of money. Mo Fan never thought he would become so rich when he was still in school.
That being said, Mo Fan did not expect to spend so much money when he was rich. He only had enough money to buy a single Soul-grade Seed.
…
The group arrived in Venice. The city was built on water, and it had a spirituality that no other city in the world could compare to. The ancient clock towers, churches, and colorful buildings from the Middle Ages could be seen everywhere. It felt like they had traveled back in time.
There were no cars in Venice, not even bicycles. The only forms of transportation were boats and a black beast called a Gondola.
The Gondola Water Beasts were designed in the style of Venice. Their backs were sunken, and their heads and buttocks had sharp bones that pointed upwards. If they were lying on the water, half of their bodies would be submerged into the water, and they would look like crescent-shaped boats that could accommodate four to five people.
These Gondolas were known as the taxis of Venice. They were specially trained and 'driven' by specialized people. They could bring tourists and locals to any place in Venice, even if they wanted to go out to sea.
After arriving in Venice, Mofan sat on this very strange water beast and explored all the water in Venice.
Mofan sat on the back of the Aragon Aquatic Beast, and couldn't help but ask the driver, "I've heard that every Visni is a Water Magician, is that true?"
The driver was an old man. Due to his frequent exposure to the sun, he looked like an African tanned man even though he was a Caucasian. He seemed very friendly as he explained to Mofan with a smile, "Not all of them, but at least half of them know one or two Water Spells. Unfortunately, I'm not one of them."
"Half of them are Water Mages, that's pretty scary!" Zhao Manyan said.
Magicians were the minority compared to ordinary people, yet every citizen of Venice was able to control the power of Water. It was truly a land of outstanding people … a land of water!
"If you're heading to the San Marco Auction Hall, you just need to cross this water route. The World College Tournament is about to take place. There will be a lot of people coming to the city. I believe my business will be a lot better," the driver said with a smile.
As he said this, he even handed Mo Fan a business card, indicating that if Mo Fan wanted to "rent a car", he would be more than happy to oblige.
…
The group went ashore and saw the San Marco Square and the magnificent San Marco Auction Hall. Two majestic lions with wings were guarding the entrance of the hall, giving it a dignified appearance!
"Zhao Manyan!" They heard a handsome man in beach shorts and sunglasses walking toward Zhao Manyan as soon as they stepped into the hall.
Beach shorts and a pair of slippers. His simple outfit did not fit in with the solemn atmosphere. However, the sunglasses he was wearing only served to set off his temperament.
"Brother, I didn't expect you to come pick me up when you're so busy …" Zhao Manyan blurted out excitedly when he saw the man in sunglasses.
However, before Zhao Manyan could finish, the man in sunglasses raised his brows and said, "Why are you here?"
"I told you I was coming. Didn't you check my messages?" Zhao Manyan was left speechless.
"Oh, I didn't pay much attention to it. Speaking of which, didn't father send you to another country for training? What are you doing here? I'm telling you, it's useless for you to hide here if you've done something shameful. I'm too busy to care about you. Every minute is worth a few hundred million, do you understand?" the man in sunglasses blurted out.
Zhao Manyan's face darkened. He gritted his teeth and said, "I'm here to participate in the World College Tournament. Can't you at least keep an eye on me?"
"Oh, oh, I think someone mentioned that you've wasted a lot of your family's money," the man in sunglasses murmured.
Mo Fan could easily tell the man was Zhao Manyan's brother, Zhao Youqian, after hearing the man's words.
As a matter of fact, Mofan could not understand what Zhao Manyan's parents were thinking. It was obvious that the name Zhao Manyan was well-mannered. Why would they give their eldest son such a vulgar name? Youqian, anyone would think the correct name was Zhao Youqian!
"He's my brother, Mofan. I told you before … oh, forget it, I bet you didn't check my messages. I'm asking you to help me find him …" Zhao Manyan said.
Before Zhao Manyan could finish, Zhao Youqian interrupted him and said, "Go ahead, I have an important guest to welcome."
"…"
Zhao Manyan was left with no choice. He had no choice but to bring Mofan to the Saint Mark's Auction Hall.
Those who had shares in the Saint Mark's Auction Hall were the real tycoons of the world. The Zhao Clan was considered the richest clan in China because they had a huge share in the Saint Mark's Auction Hall. As a matter of fact, the Zhao Clan was involved in auctions all over the world.
"Your brother is really interesting," Mofan finally burst out laughing.
Zhao Manyan said helplessly, "He's always been like this since we were young. I'm always invisible in his eyes. To be honest, I'm quite surprised that he was able to recognize me from so far away. This guy only has money in his eyes. If I say half a word to him, he'll feel that I'm hindering him from making money. He's a guy who doesn't like women, doesn't like food, doesn't pursue magic, and doesn't care about feelings. The only joy and pursuit in life is to amass money, just like my father. "
"So you picked him up from the streets?" Mofan said.
"You could say that. If it weren't for the fact that I'm quite good at Magic, which could make up for the lack of powerful Mages in our Zhao Clan, I bet no one would bother to ask me if I went missing," Zhao Manyan said.
"Why does it sound so miserable coming out of your mouth? Do you know how many people are envious of people like you, who have so much money that it's like an idiot, and don't have the slightest restraint from your clan? If I was born in a place like this, why would I risk my life to kill demon beasts? Who wouldn't want to risk their own lives!? "Mofan said righteously.
"You asshole, since the incident with the Mother Scale Skin Phantom in the gymnasium, I've done so many dangerous things with you. I might be rich, but I still have to be alive to play!" Zhao Manyan said.
"Isn't this just to add some excitement to your bleak life? If a person doesn't have pursuits, then what's the difference between you and your brother?" Mofan said.
The two of them talked nonsense as they walked into the Zhao Clan's most high-end VIP room. This VIP room was as imposing as a palace. The kind of luxury that even money might not be able to buy was overwhelming. Mofan couldn't help but sigh with emotion. These rich people really knew how to enjoy themselves!
Inside the Imperial Palace's guest room, the reception girls wearing blue rippling dresses were all first-class beauties. Their breasts and buttocks were bulging under the dress, full of temptation that was about to come out.
"Do you specialize in the business of seducing these kinds of girls?" Mofan asked evilly.
Under normal circumstances, Mofan wouldn't let his imagination run wild like this. It was just that the reception girls were so beautiful that they were bubbling.
"Stop joking around, these girls aren't easy to touch. Those who are chosen to come here must be pure and clean. If they do anything, they will be fired immediately. They are here to serve the most honorable guests. They are basically selling their bodies, not their smiles. You shouldn't think that the rich are so filthy. Most of these girls aren't in need of money. They are very chaste. You can't buy them with money … unless you have a perfect face like mine, "Zhao Manyan said proudly.
"Mister, we only serve guests who have made a reservation. Please move to the VIP room next door," a girl in a blue dress soon came over with a smile.
"I'm Zhao Youqian's brother," Zhao Manyan revealed his identity.
"I'm sorry, Chairman Zhao said that this room must be reserved for the honorable guest. I'll bring you to the VIP room next door. If you need anything, someone will arrange it for you," the girl in the blue dress said.
The girl was of mixed blood. She had the beautiful facial features of a westerner, but the gentleness of an easterner. Her polite yet firm attitude left Zhao Manyan dumbfounded.
"Let's go next door, HAHAHA!" Mofan almost burst out laughing.
Zhao Manyan's face darkened.
Normally, Mofan's strength was off the charts. Zhao Manyan could not even be compared to him. Now that he finally had the chance to compete with his wealth, he ended up being snubbed all the way. Zhao Manyan was infuriated by the embarrassment, "Humph, even though Zhao Youqian is in charge of this place, it's not like I don't have any authority over this place. I'll be taking this place today. If there's any problem, ask Zhao Youqian to talk to me himself. No honorable guest is more important than me!"
Zhao Manyan sat down on the couch that felt like it was made of velvet. His face was filled with the pride and stubbornness of a rich kid.
The girl in the blue dress was stunned. She did not expect Zhao Manyan to be so unreasonable!
Mofan was quite surprised, too. Zhao Manyan did not seem like the kind of person who would do something like this for the sake of his reputation. Zhao Manyan was someone who was willing to stay in run-down hostels or luxurious mansions. There was no need for him to insist on staying in the VIP room of the Royal Palace.
