Damn it, this fake protagonist is truly wealthy, forcing me to use the private savings I've accumulated over years of medical practice!However, before his $800 million bid could reach the auctioneer's ears, Evan casually added another $200 million on top: "$1000 million! A billion!"Crack!In an instant, the entire venue fell into dead silence, so quiet you could hear a pin drop!Everyone's jaws dropped, their movements frozen in an instant, their eyes filled with incredulous expressions!How could this person be so rich??Spending $1 billion on a Han dynasty jade pendant, has this person gone mad??Does he even comprehend how much $1 billion is, how many things it could do? How many houses it could build??Daisy's expression also changed slightly. She bit her little tongue, a hint of shyness flashing in her beautiful eyes. Oh, Evan, you said you didn't care about me, but you're willing to spend $1 billion for me? How is that not caring??However, spending $1 billion on this jade pen
Noticing their mistress hadn't retreated upstairs, Daisy's retinue of bodyguards descended from the second floor, taking up positions behind the pair.The sight of such intimacy between Evan and Daisy once again inflamed the disheveled man's fragile and sensitive ego. His anger reaching a boiling point, his handsome features twisted into an increasingly grotesque mask of rage. Through clenched teeth, he snarled, "Fine, enjoy your moment of triumph. Soon enough, I'll ensure you meet a grisly end!"The auction resumed its course.Naturally, the dragon and phoenix jade pendant was secured by Evan for $1 billion.As the auctioneer's gavel fell, the venue once again erupted into a cacophony of gasps and shrieks, punctuated by a few derisive chuckles aimed at the disheveled man.This only served to darken his countenance further."Excellent, let's proceed with our auction. Our next items are quite unique, each one a true masterpiece," the auctioneer announced."These are various rare medici
In the bidding for the next few medicinal herbs, Evan repeatedly drove up the price on the disheveled man several more times. This left Evan puzzled - how could this person's intelligence be so low? Failing to learn from being duped once, could he truly be such a fool?In truth, it wasn't that the disheveled man lacked intelligence, but rather that he found himself in an impossible situation. These herbs were truly once-in-a-lifetime finds, crucial for enhancing his abilities.He had already lost any chance of winning Daisy's affection, and he couldn't bear to lose this opportunity to increase his power as well. Unable to have both the bear's paw and the fish, he had to choose between the beauty and strength!And Evan had chosen this precise moment to throw a wrench in his plans, ensuring that his $600 million in gold bricks and $200 million check wouldn't even last until the auction of the thousand-year ginseng. Forget the ginseng - he couldn't even secure the penultimate item, the h
He couldn't deny that this technique's name resonated with him, evoking an innate sense of familiarity—like encountering an old friend.He had an intuitive feeling that the cold true qi now coursing through his body was perfectly suited for this icy cultivation method.An inexplicable sensation suggested that this technique was tailor-made for him!However...Evan cursed loudly. What the hell was this? Apart from its name, everything about this technique was marked with question marks!"System, come out for a moment. Can you explain what's going on with this Frost Crystal Technique?" Evan angrily summoned the Super Rich System in his mind."Oh, it's like this—this technique is unused throughout the entire universe. So, this system can't determine its rank, nor do we know what skills it includes," the Super Rich System replied, its voice extremely languid, as if half-asleep.Unused?Could it truly be that this technique was crafted specifically for him, waiting in the cosmos for him to
However, he merely scoffed:"Miss Daisy, haven't you learned your lesson? Yesterday, when you accused me of harassment, you also had your guards surround me. I took them down one by one with a single punch each. Why repeat such a foolish act? Rest assured, I won't be showing any gentlemanly restraint today!""If you have an issue, deal with me. After all, I'm the cause of this entire situation," Daisy glared at the disheveled man before turning to Evan with a soft gaze. "Evan, you should go. I'm a girl, and the CEO of Clark Group, surrounded by bodyguards. He wouldn't dare harm me if I stay!"Evan was torn between laughter and exasperation!How could he, a grown man, need protection from a young girl?If anything, he should be protecting her!Besides, hadn't the disheveled man just declared he'd abandon all gentlemanly behavior? Hadn't she heard?Gently pulling Daisy behind him, he smiled, "It's alright, I can handle this. As long as I'm here, I won't leave you alone!""But you don't
Battling against the immense pressure, cold sweat beading on his brow, the disheveled man gulped audibly:"You've bested me in wealth, in ability, and even nullified my clairvoyance. Who are you? Why are you so powerful? What do you want?"Evan advanced slowly towards him, a devilish smile playing on his lips. "I don't want anything. I merely wish to impress upon you that someone like you doesn't deserve extraordinary abilities."He halted his approach and casually waved his hand. A strange sound echoed as the temperature in the grand hall plummeted to -20°C. Simultaneously, a thin layer of frost began to creep over Daisy and her bodyguards."What's happen—"Daisy and her guards cried out in alarm, but before they could finish, the layer of ice had completely enveloped them."You... you... they're all frozen?" Cold sweat trickled down the disheveled man's back as he trembled, his eyes wide with shock and terror. "Who are you? Where did these strange powers come from? Why are you, a fa
As the self-proclaimed Clairvoyant Physician vanished from sight, Evan nonchalantly snapped his fingers, causing the temperature in the grand hall to surge back to normal. With another snap, the thin layer of frost encasing Daisy and her entourage shattered into a kaleidoscope of shimmering light before dissipating entirely.It was as if time had rewound to the instant before their icy imprisonment, leaving no trace of the extraordinary events that had just transpired."What's happening?" Daisy and her guards finally completed their interrupted sentence, only to find the disheveled stranger had vanished without a trace."Where did he go?" Daisy's eyes widened in bewilderment, a sentiment mirrored by her equally perplexed security detail. Their memories remained frozen at the moment before their glacial captivity, leaving a disconcerting gap in their recollection.Evan responded with an air of casual indifference, "He departed, likely realizing he was outmatched.""Is that so?" Daisy's
"Can't have?" Evan mused, his gaze fixed on the approaching scarlet Ferrari. "My senses have become far more acute than before. I detected your guards returning with your car. I was merely preserving your dignity."After departing from Daisy's residence, Evan eschewed returning to Riverside Villa, instead making his way directly to TikToC headquarters. He was curious about the progress of the task he had assigned to Adam, though he harbored no grand expectations given his brief absence from Lumina City.As Evan pulled up to the TikToC building in his Bugatti Veyron, he caught sight of Adam hastily exiting the office. "Hey, tubby! Where are you off to in such a hurry?" Evan called out.Tubby? Who would dare address him so informally in Lumina City? Adam's initial indignation quickly dissipated as he recognized Mr. Smith lounging in the luxury vehicle. He scurried over, his rotund belly jiggling with each step."Mr. Smith, your timing is impeccable," Adam said, his tone suddenly formal.
