Trillionaire's Slice of Life

The crown in the exhibition hall is one of the world's ten great royal jewels, created from emeralds totaling approximately 101.27 carats. These emeralds are not only large in size but also of exceptionally high quality; they are pure, transparent, and their rich and uniform color is absolutely stunning!

Beyond that, the sapphire ring from the British royal family is equally breathtaking. Prince Charles gifted this ring as an engagement present to Princess Diana, giving the ring its unique historical significance.

The center of the ring features a blue gem as serene and unfathomable as a deep lake, encircled by countless sparkling diamonds, making the ring overflow with splendor. It rightfully stands as one of the most expensive rings in the world.

When introducing the ring, Chu Mo noticed a girl named Zi Xiang beside him, her eyes brimming with intense envy and an insatiable desire.

Of course, with Chu Mo's influence, buying the king's scepter or the emperor's crown was unlikely, but if he was determined to purchase this ring from the British royal family, there was still hope.

As long as he could offer a price to tempt the British royals, acquiring the sapphire ring once used by the prince and princess was within the realm of possibility.

However, the reality was that he had no reason to do so.

The twin sisters in front of him, though charming, hadn't reached the value that would make Chu Mo go out of his way to please them!

After viewing the Ancient Persian Gold Armlet, the naturalistic gold leaf garlands, and many other treasures, Chu Mo's gaze finally settled on an Enamel Diamond Pocket Watch. Among all the rare items in the exhibition hall, this was the only thing that truly captured Chu Mo's heart.

Seemingly perceiving Chu Mo's fondness, the twin sisters beside him explained with more earnestness. Zi Xiang, her voice more ethereal, took the initiative to step forward for the first time. Standing to his left, she then said with a face full of enthusiasm,

"In the early 17th century, a large number of French refugees arrived in London, becoming renowned watchmakers of their time. They possessed astonishing enamel miniature painting skills as well as carving and gem-setting techniques. This pocket watch is the work of one such watchmaker and is the most 'luxurious' timepiece in the British Museum.

The pocket watch is made entirely of red gold with a black enamel base and features designs on both sides.

The case is adorned with extremely intricate and colorful flowers, rich in color and texture, intertwined and overlapping, making the watch exquisitely beautiful. The front of the pocket watch is lavishly set with 92 diamonds, arranged in a circle, dazzling to behold."

The twin sisters obviously had done their homework, knowing all the treasures in the exhibition hall like the back of their hand. As Zi Xiang finished speaking, hurried footsteps could be heard from behind. Chu Mo turned his head to see a staff member quickly approaching!

The host, Fan Zhijian, immediately composed himself and gave a slight nod before walking toward the staff member!

Meanwhile, Zi Yi, the other twin, continued,

"On the outside, this jewelry pocket watch is incredibly luxurious, but inside, it's pastoral and poetic. On one side is a daytime landscape painted in enamel over a white base, surrounded by a white enamel ring of clock scales. On the other side is a nighttime scene painted in black over a blue background.

This touch of dispassionate poetic charm adds to the exquisite beauty of the pocket watch...!"

Suddenly, Chu Mo interrupted Zi Yi's presentation. By that time, Fan Zhijian, after whispering a few words to the staff member, came to Chu Mo with a somber expression, and then he spoke with a heavy voice,

"I've just been informed that the Supreme Jewelry Store across the street is also hosting an anniversary celebration. The Lin family has invited many families from the city to join in the celebration, and the heads of the eight great families have personally come to support them... It looks like they're determined to compete with us to the end!"

Hearing this, Chu Mo's attention shifted from the precious jewels in the hall. He walked gently to the windowsill and peered down from the 16th-floor window.

Across the street, Ati Supreme Jewelry Store was also ablaze with lights, and standing at the entrance to welcome the guests was Lin Youzhi, the Family Head of the Lin family, and Lin Ling'er, whom Chu Mo had met a few days ago at Tianxiang Garden.

Chu Mo quietly observed for a moment, affirming that the Lin family truly lived up to its reputation as a major family in the city, having been in the business for over a hundred years.

As the foremost among the four great families of the city with assets of several hundred billion, when Lin Youzhi fully mobilized the Lin family's network of connections, the result was bound to be sensational.

Not only did family heads from big and small families within the city come to offer their congratulations, but many leading figures from other cities also sent representatives to wish them well. Across the street, it was an exceptionally bustling scene at the Lin family's Ati Supreme Jewelry Store.

Chu Mo was not surprised by the spectacle before him. As the most prominent family in the city, if the Lin family's status could be so easily shaken, then the Fan brothers wouldn't have remained the fifth major family for decades.

He took a deep breath, and at that moment, his phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated. Picking up the call and pressing the answer button, he heard the rough yet steady voice of the detective agency's head, Jiang Tao!

"Mr. Chu, everything's ready here. Prince Ben Hesed's transfer car has arrived at Hui Shui Road and is expected at Bafang Kelai Jewelry Store in three minutes. Mr. Geng Pan, the heir to the American Rothschild family, has set out from Tianxiang Garden and is expected to arrive in five minutes. The Sartor Prince and Mina Gong will arrive in ten minutes, followed by the British Prince Maierxun!"

Chu Mo responded softly and then gave his final instructions:

"At all costs, ensure the safety of these esteemed guests. We simply cannot allow even the slightest leak!"

After receiving an affirmative response from the other end, Chu Mo hung up the phone. He then turned to address the group of people behind him:

"Let's go, our distinguished guests are arriving. Let's go down to welcome them together!"

A glimmer of resolve flashed in Fan Zhijian's eyes at Chu Mo's words. Having previously heard that the heads of the eight great families would personally support the Lin family, he had been somewhat apprehensive. Yet now, seeing Chu Mo's calm and collected demeanor, Fan Zhijian felt as though he had suddenly found his backbone, and his confidence soared!

The group approached the elevator. This time, Chu Mo and Fan Zhijian entered the elevator while the others waited for the next one. However, when Chu Mo saw the twins Zi Xiang and Zi Yi among the crowd, he raised an eyebrow and then gestured for the twins, who had a stunning beauty rating of ninety-seven, to come over:

"Both of you, come here!"

Upon hearing this, the twin sisters, with a flicker of delight in their eyes, immediately stepped forward. Once the two got on the elevator, and Fan Zhijian pressed the button, Chu Mo then spoke softly:

"In a moment, Prince Ben Hesed and the heir to the American Rothschild family will be visiting. These are distinguished guests, and you two will be responsible for receiving them!"

Hearing this, the two strikingly beautiful girls nodded in unison!

In the meantime, Fan Zhijian, standing beside Chu Mo, suddenly spoke up:

"Is it the Rothschild family rumored to have assets of fifty trillion?"

Chu Mo nodded, and a mysterious gleam appeared in Fan Zhijian's eyes as he nodded vigorously, visibly excited!
