Trillionaire's Slice of Life

The family head of the Wu family from the northwest, Wu Tongda, was an elderly man with a goatee. He was roughly in his fifties or sixties, standing straight and tall, exuding an air of extraordinary presence.

He walked straight across the street and, accompanied by Lin Youzhi, headed directly to the front of the Bafang Kelai Jewelry Store. However, this top tycoon, whose net worth approached a trillion, didn't give Chu Mo or Fan Zhijian a second glance but instead strode towards Princess Mina Gong and enthusiastically struck up a conversation with the Jewelry Queen!

"Ha ha ha! Your Highness, Princess, since the last time we parted at the Paris World Jewelry Exhibition, we haven't seen each other for several years, have we? I've aged over the years, but Your Highness's charm remains the same!"

Wu Tongda, as one of the eight great families in Hua Country, with assets close to a trillion, may not be as well-known or influential as Wei'er Mina on a global scale, but in terms of wealth, the Wu family's trillions are almost on par with Princess Mina's. So, strictly speaking, the two are on the same level, belonging to the same world.

Naturally, it was commonplace for such people to intersect with one another.

Princess Mina clearly recognized the elderly man across from her; he was not a nobody, and they indeed had met a few years before.

As the Jewelry Queen, Wei'er Mina had a particular trait—she never deliberately remembered those who were insignificant. Many people received her smiles, but she wouldn't take the trouble to remember them. Most of them, Mina would forget as soon as she turned away.

On the other hand, for some—those whose status and identity were comparable to hers or who could attract her attention in certain respects—Mina would firmly commit them to memory. Even after several years or even over a decade, she would still be able to identify them accurately.

The goateed old man before her was, naturally, one of the latter.

At this moment, Wei'er Mina, too, greeted him with a warm and gracious smile. She stood lightly before the older man, and they enthusiastically engaged in conversation.

"Your Highness, Princess, may I have a word?"

Wu Tongda invited her with a smile, and the Jewelry Queen naturally had no objections. They both stepped forward slightly and began whispering to each other on the side.

While it was impossible to hear what exactly the two were discussing, both had a trace of a smile on their faces.

At this moment, Chu Mo stood quietly in his spot. Facing him was the expressionless Family Head Lin Youzhi.

This tall and sturdy middle-aged man was, as always, a man of few words. His hands were clasped behind his back, exuding an aura of serene indifference.

Chu Mo only glanced at him out of the corner of his eye before looking away.

The Lin family thought that with the support of the great eight families, they could stand against him. How naive.

The great families might offer him some accessible help to stabilize him, like coming over personally to show support, as they were doing now.

But when it came to real financial interests, the great families did not have the kind of unlimited credit card that Chu Mo had, capable of providing infinite funds.

When it came to real money investment, tens or hundreds of billions of dollars would definitely drag down the entire Lin family, and by then, expecting the great families to help wholeheartedly would probably be nothing more than wishful thinking!

Chu Mo had ample confidence. He didn't care about the minor Lin family at all. The reason he targeted the Lin family first was to send a powerful message to intimidate others—naturally, the Lin family was the chicken being sacrificed to scare the monkeys.

No matter how proud Lin Youzhi appeared now, the more embarrassing his downfall would be from the heights in the future.

After a brief wait, Wu Tongda's hearty laughter rang out again. Then, with a nod to Princess Mina, and in the company of Lin Youzhi, the Wu family head, known for his cunning and slyness, slowly walked towards the opposite Supreme Jewelry Store!

And at this moment, the Jewelry Queen returned before Chu Mo. As the pair walked shoulder to shoulder toward the hall, the blonde woman at his side suddenly whispered:

"Chu, aren't you curious what we were just talking about? Perhaps we were speaking ill of you!"

Chu Mo smiled and shook his head. He had no interest in prying into others' privacy. Besides, he didn't believe Wu Tongda, a man who had lived half a lifetime as a shrewd character, would stoop to gossiping about a junior behind his back.

If Wu Tongda really did that, then the Wu family of the Northwest would be nothing special!

At his side, Mina lightly curled her lips upward. After revealing a radiant smile, she then softly said:

"Four years ago, at the top-tier Paris jewelry exhibition, the Wu family had showcased an emerald from fifteen hundred years ago, quite valuable for collection. At that time, I offered 5.8 billion to buy it from that old man, but he refused. Just now, Wu Tongda said he's willing to sell me that emerald for 50 billion, but I would have to agree to a condition of his...

Chu, what do you think? Should I accept his condition?"

Chu Mo walked with her into the hall, where more than a dozen exceptionally beautiful receptionists greeted them with respect. At this time, all the saleswomen in the entire first-floor hall bowed respectfully as well.

As a group of them headed toward the elevator, Chu Mo glanced at the blonde woman beside him. Seeing the bright spark in her eyes, he knew she must genuinely like that piece of emerald. Read new chapters at My Virtual Library Empire

He nodded slightly, then said with a laugh in his voice:

"If you like it, then just go ahead and take it. You don't have to consider me."

Upon hearing this, the light in the blonde lady's eyes intensified. She gave Chu Mo a sweet smile, then said with a face full of joy:

"I knew I chose the right person."

They arrived at the elevator just as the doors opened. From the dedicated elevator, a pair of twin girls and Zhan Bingxue stepped out!

Fang Lihu, from behind, came forward to whisper a reminder that Prince Sartor's chauffeured car was about to arrive. Naturally, Chu Mo would personally welcome them. He excused himself from Princess Mina and Prince Mayerson, entrusting Yang Xuan and Liang Bing to handle the subsequent reception. Then, Chu Mo and Fan Zhijian hastened to the front entrance without delay.

They had just reached the entrance when another procession of cars slowly made its way toward them.

It shouldn't be so hectic; all the arrangements were supposed to be orderly. However, Wu Tongda's recent arrival had caused a few minutes' delay, leading to slight chaos on-site.

But with Fan Zhijian and Chu Mo present to oversee, nothing too disruptive could occur.

As the vehicles at the entrance cleared, the approaching cars arrived right at the front.

A series of luxury cars came to a halt, and as the bodyguards opened the doors, two figures, a man and a woman, stepped out linked arm in arm!

The young man was none other than Prince Sartor, Awalid, a globally renowned investment genius. As for the young woman by Awalid's side, she was naturally Sartor's most favored princess, Sevalina!

After alighting from the cars, both wore renewed smiles on their faces. Then, Chu Mo strode toward the guests ahead!
