Chapter 55: One more match, a life-or-death battle.
There has been ongoing competition regarding the price.
"I'll offer 23 billion."
"I'll offer 2.31 billion."
"Everyone, please stop for a moment. I don't intend to sell this top-quality purple jade."
We were just about to have a decorative piece at home, and I thought it looked nice, so I kept it as a decoration.
Tian Zhenzhen's Versailles-like remarks infuriated many people.
"Ms. Tian, why don't you reconsider? We are willing to offer 24 billion to purchase it."
Such fine jade should be displayed to the world, not left to gather dust in one's home.
"To correct you, I'm not short of money. I could easily spend more than this amount on jewelry."
Also, this top-quality purple jade is mine, and I can do whatever I want with it.
Please don't get entangled with this.
Now let's talk about the bet between me and Wu Zhenglong.
Many people were provoked by Tian Zhenzhen's words.
There were rumors that Tian Zhenzhen had selected jewelry worth more than 20 billion yuan in just one morning.
Indeed, someone who can casually spend over 20 billion yuan to buy jewelry wouldn't care about the purchase price of over 20 billion yuan.
Although many people were still unwilling to give up and wanted to try again, what Tian Zhenzhen said next made them want to watch the show.
No one spoke again; everyone was waiting to see what would happen.
"Wu Zhenglong, as you just heard, someone has already offered 24 billion for my jade. 24 billion is far more than my auction price of 9 million."
We have to make a bet on you losing.
"Hmph, you're just lucky."
Wu Zhenglong is a man destined for great things; he has a thick skin and doesn't mention the bet at all.
"Wu Zhenglong, have you forgotten our bet? If the value of the raw stone I acquire exceeds 9 million, you will no longer interfere in the subsequent land auctions."
"You're not planning to go back on your word, are you? Who in Yue City would dare to cooperate with someone as untrustworthy as you in the future?"
Tian Zhen's words directly slapped Wu Zhenglong in the face, leaving him with no way to escape.
Wu Zhenglong lost the bet, and the Qin family should be the ones who are more anxious.
Today marks their first victory in Yueyang City, representing the Lvmao Group.
We can't let it end before it even begins.
"Hmph, this whole thing was clearly a trap set by you and the Xu family. You must have been in cahoots beforehand."
Otherwise, how could you be so confident that you could find over 20 billion yuan worth of jade, and even know how to do it?
I do not accept this bet; you deceived me first.
"If you want me to be truly convinced, you'll have another match with me. Otherwise, I won't admit to what happened just now."
Wu Zhenglong has a really thick skin; he can actually say something like that.
However, no one present was willing to offend him, and they only dared to whisper a few words about him.
"Wu Zhenglong, how else do you want to compete?"
It was Xu Tianlan who spoke first. She knew that if she didn't agree to Wu Zhenglong's request, given his shamelessness, he would just brush off what had just happened.
It would be better to try again. If Wu Zhenglong loses this time, he won't have the nerve to try again.
"My request is very simple: we each send one person to compete, and whoever loses has to forfeit the last plot of land in the auction."
"Hehe, what if you lose again this time? You won't say that I colluded with the thugs you sent to make them deliberately lose to my people, will you?"
"Tian Zhenzhen said sarcastically."
His words made Wu Zhenglong feel somewhat embarrassed.
"Hmph, this time it's my own people. I'll accept whatever the outcome. If you're not comfortable with that, we can sign a contract."
However, this time I'm fighting a life-or-death battle; I don't know if you still dare to accept the challenge.
Wu Zhenglong had great confidence in Liu San, believing that even in a life-or-death battle, he could reap some benefits first.
“Really, Wu Zhenglong came prepared this time. The expert he invited is very likely to be at the Innate Realm.”
Our Xu family's martial arts level is at the ninth rank of the Acquired Realm, which is still quite a distance from the Innate Realm.
If your men can't win, they shouldn't rush forward to their deaths. Leave the rest to the Xu family."
Xu Tianlan was somewhat worried; it was already quite impressive that Zhenzhen had managed to do this much.
Although Wu Zhenglong wasn't completely suppressed, his reputation has still been damaged if word gets out about today's events.
"Sister Xu, don't worry, my men are no pushovers."
"Wu Zhenglong, you old bastard, I agree to your demands, but given your shameless behavior of going back on your word before, let's sign the contract first."
When Wu Zhenglong heard that Tian Zhenzhen dared to insult him, he instructed Liu San while having someone draft the contract:
"Show no mercy, I want her people to die a horrible death."
"Don't worry, Mr. Wu. Without reaching the Innate Realm, you're nothing but an ant." Liu San said arrogantly, not taking Tian Daqiang seriously at all.
The Xu family then cleared the area, as it was a life-or-death battle, leaving only some families with knowledge of martial arts.
Zhou Hao and Hu Qingsong naturally did not leave; they were Tian Zhenzhen's people, so they naturally stood with her.
Ji Gaoming had no right to stay, since he had been watching the show from the sidelines and was afraid of being implicated.
But now he felt a little regretful, because he could see that Tian Zhenzhen was truly capable.
This should have been the best time to invest, but alas, what a pity.
No matter how unwilling Ji Gaoming was, he could only leave with the crowd.
Those who remained at the scene were either from families with some influence or had a good understanding of martial arts.
"I never expected Wu Zhenglong to be so lucky. Not only did he manage to curry favor with the Greenwood Group, he even managed to invite a master of the Innate Realm."
"What? You mean the expert Wu Zhenglong invited is at the Innate Realm?"
"Don't those martial artists at the Innate Realm usually look down on small families like ours?"
"You should take a look at Wu Zhenglong. He's now cooperating with the Green Mao Group, so it's not surprising that he can find a martial artist at the Innate Realm."
“If martial artists at the Innate Realm have all come out, then Miss Tian’s side is destined to lose.”
"Who says otherwise? This is still a life-or-death arena. I don't know why she agreed."
"Regardless, we're happy as long as we can see a good show. However, Miss Tian is clearly on good terms with the Xu family. If Miss Tian's people lose, the Xu family probably won't benefit from this either."
Many people are pessimistic about Tian Zhenzhen, even though she may have a lot of knowledge about jade.
However, innate realm martial artists are not as common as cabbages on the roadside. The fact that so many families in Yue City have failed to cultivate even one shows how precious innate realm martial artists are.
With Liu San showing up, they simply couldn't believe that Tian Zhenzhen's people could be a match for Liu San.
Soon the two fighters entered the arena.
"Tian Zhenzhen, this is just the first bit of interest; your real troubles are yet to come."
"Wu Zhenglong, some people have said before that they want me to suffer. I don't like to suffer, but I like to see others suffer."
Because of your recklessness, a Xiantian martial artist will have to be sacrificed. I don't know if you can bear the consequences.
