As soon as these words were spoken, the entire audience was shocked!

An instant price increase of a billion, even these wealthy people were seeing such a move for the first time. Their eyes all turned to the Emperor's private room, but with a curtain in between, those outside couldn't see what was going on inside!

"This guy really has a big hand," Lin Fan said nonchalantly, with a light and breezy smile on his face. Lin Fan was determined to win that Seven-Colored Stone, and no one could stand in his way!

"Two billion five hundred million!"

At this moment, someone else placed a bid, it was the person next door to Lin Fan, and their tone was unusually sinister.

"Three billion!"

This time it was those East Asian people bidding.

"Four billion!"

The Emperor unhesitatingly added another billion with a crazed stroke!

This time, the originally quiet auction house could no longer hold back. A four billion price tag, even in world-class auction houses, was rare. Who would have thought such an ordinary-looking stone could be so valuable?

Four billion is a lot, but as one of the three great Emperors of the Dark Realm, he knew how wealthy those powerful figures in the Dark Realm truly were. Making money was as simple as eating to them.

Take Lin Fan, for instance. If a wealthy family invites him to assassinate someone, as long as the bounty reaches over fifty million, and it's in US Dollars, when Lin Fan orchestrated the Third World War, an enemy placed a ten billion USD bounty just to get Lin Fan's head!

Of course, that wealthy family was ultimately wiped out by Lin Fan!

A few wealthy individuals noticed the stone was unusual and placed some bids, but they were quickly overshadowed by the Emperor and those East Asians. In no time at all, the price had escalated to six billion five hundred million!

"It's time."

Lin Fan curled his lips and loudly declared, "Seven billion!"

"Seven billion one hundred million," the Emperor bid once more.

"Seven billion two hundred million," Lin Fan called out again.

"Seven billion three hundred million..."

"Seven billion four hundred million..."

Both Lin Fan and the Emperor didn't increase the price by too much at once, each time adding the same amount, indicating a fierce competition to the end.

A king against a king, who would choose to admit defeat?

Swoosh~

Just then, Lin Fan felt a chilling killing intent emanating from the next-door private room, like a bloodstained sword pointing straight at his throat.

"Seems like he's noticed," Lin Fan smiled gently, unfazed.

"Eight billion!"

At this moment, those East Asians called out another stunning price.

This time, the entire auction house fell silent, everyone felt their hearts trembling. Eight billion, this was money many people couldn't earn in a lifetime.

But Lin Fan knew well that the value of this Seven-Colored Stone was far more than just eight billion. Especially for someone like Lin Fan, the returns the Seven-Colored Stone could bring were far beyond what money could measure!

Gu Qingcheng was also left speechless by this price, turning her head to see Lin Fan, who frowned, her mouth moved slightly, "If you want it, I can help you."

Lin Fan looked at the serious expression on Gu Qingcheng's face with surprise, a strange look on his face.

"Hey! Why are you looking at me like that?" Gu Qingcheng pretended to be displeased, but a slight blush arose on her pretty face under Lin Fan's direct gaze.

"Too expensive, forget it," Lin Fan shrugged and said.

"Don't you want it?" Gu Qingcheng asked in surprise.

"Do you think if I get it, I'll be able to bring it back unharmed? Didn't you notice when those East Asians raised the price to eight billion, the other two didn't say a word?"

Seeing Gu Qingcheng's confused look, Lin Fan chuckled, "Relax, even if those two East Asians get it, they won't leave the East Sea alive. That kind of Seven-Colored Stone isn't something money can measure. For the powerful, who would use more than eight billion to buy it? The most direct way is to let others buy it, be the fisherman who profits, then seize it!"

Gu Qingcheng suddenly understood, rolling her eyes disdainfully at Lin Fan, "You guys are really black-hearted."

"For profit, who isn't?" Lin Fan laughed indifferently.

Subsequently, a few more items were auctioned, but everyone was no longer interested. Soon after, the auction finally ended, and they heard hurried footsteps outside. Judging from the number of footsteps, it was precisely those East Asians.

Then, came the sound of one person's footsteps, followed closely by the footsteps of two more!

"It's time for us to go," Lin Fan smiled lightly and stood up, heading towards the outside of the private room.

Gu Qingcheng looked slightly nervous, ever since she saw the Emperor appear, her nerves had been tense, fearing Lin Fan would meet the Emperor.

One mountain cannot house two tigers; when two tigers fight, one must die. Only one can be king, that is an unchanging rule!

After the auction ended, a dance was held on the cruise ship. Lin Fan, on his own, held a glass of red wine, leaning against the ship's railing like an elegant Prince, drinking!

With Gu Qingcheng's looks, it's natural for her to be invited by handsome men, but she turned them all down, holding a wine glass and gracefully walking over to Lin Fan's side.

"As a gentleman, aren't you going to invite me for a dance?"

Gu Qingcheng leaned in close to Lin Fan's ear, breathing wine-scented whispers, looking like she had drunk quite a bit, with two floating red clouds on her face, very enticing.

"So many handsome guys are asking you to dance, why come to me?" Lin Fan laughed and said.

"Who told you I liked you, plus, none of those handsome guys are as handsome as you," Gu Qingcheng said, blushing.

Lin Fan secretly cursed the enchantress.

"Enchantress, there are too many people here. If you want it, get a room ready and wait for me. I'll show you what a man's vigor is!" Lin Fan laughed angrily.

"Tsk! This is your territory, with your beautiful CEO wife around. Do you really think I wouldn't get caught by her if I snuck you into a room? If your Empress Dowager caught us in bed, I don't want to be the mistress," Gu Qingcheng said with a bewitching smile.

"I thought you were usually quite bold?" Lin Fan smiled and said.

Gu Qingcheng replied with fragrant breath, "That's only with you!"

"Oh? Really? Then let's have some real fun today." Lin Fan knew well that this enchantress was teasing him intentionally!

While speaking, Lin Fan had already made a move...
