Trillionaire's Slice of Life

```

Bafang Kelai Jewelry Store opened today, while the Lin family also held their anniversary celebration, and the atmosphere was clearly that of a competition.

Chu Mo's side invited three princes and two princesses, as well as the Ross family heir Geng Pan to support the event, while the Lin family invited the heads of the eight major families in Hua Country, clearly signaling a determination to fight to the end.

Since the opponent wanted a fierce battle, Chu Mo naturally would not shrink back.

As Chu Mo nodded, the atmosphere in the entire auction hall began to change, unusual. Apart from the dozen or so people in the front row who were worth over a hundred billion, the expressions of the invited guests in the back row began to shift uncomfortably.

The princes and princesses in the front row might not fear the eight major families' pressure, but these other guests couldn't withstand the stress. They attended Bafang Kelai's opening ceremony out of respect for the Fan family, but to confront the eight major families because of this, they simply didn't have the courage.

Just as the atmosphere in the hall became tense, there was no long wait as a series of footsteps suddenly echoed from the hallway entrance, and next, the figure of Long Zhentian, the family head of the Long family from Hong Kong, appeared first, followed closely by Yang Tianxia, the family head of the Yang family from Capital City, stepping into the hall!

With the arrival of eight trillionaires, real tycoons, the hall immediately erupted into noise. Dozens of billionaires in the back rows all stood up, with various greetings heard non-stop.

Compared to the good graces of the Fan family, these people in the hall clearly cared more about the future of their own families. They didn't dare to antagonize the eight major families, especially now that all the major families were present. The pressure was simply unbearable for them.

In the entire hall, aside from the group in the very front row who remained calm, even the tycoons in the second row, worth hundreds of billions, stood up. At this moment, the auction hall seemed not so much the Fan family's turf, but rather the territory of the eight major families.

Chu Mo, in the central position of the first row, watched all of this with a calm demeanor, seemingly completely unbothered by the proceedings.

By his side, Fan Zhijian's face became quite unsightly.

The guests were all invited by him, but as the heads of the eight major families personally arrived, these people suddenly seemed to become the guests of the opposing party, giving Fan Zhijian a sense of abandonment.

Furthermore, the Fan family was currently using the full power of their entire family to run the jewelry store, while the Lin family was their sworn enemy. The situation between them was such that neither side would stop until their opponent was dead. In this context, his own guests running off to chum up to the sworn enemy made Fan Zhijian far from happy.

In contrast to Fan Zhijian's gloomy face, Chu Mo at this moment seemed exceptionally calm.

Chu Mo quietly observed the harmonious scene before him. Amidst the liveliness and greetings, each of the ten people, including the eight family heads plus Lin Youzhi, the family head of the Lin family, and Lin Ling'er, the young lady of the Lin family, sat in the hall, beaming with joy.

And then, after taking a gentle breath, Chu Mo signaled the auctioneer on the stage. The elder with graying hair nodded and then continued:

"The auction continues. The second item, the Heart Jade, has an offer of 110,000 RMB from a young lady in the back row. 110,000 for the first time. Is there anyone else who would like to bid? 110,000 for the second time. 110,000...!"

The elder on the stage raised the small hammer high, and just as he was about to bring it down, a lazy voice suddenly interrupted from the center of the hall:

"Heart Jade? Is it that Heart Jade?"

The speaker was none other than Wu Tongda, the family head of the Wu family from the northwest. This old man with a goatee spoke with a slightly shrill voice. Upon finishing, the seasoned auctioneer on the stage immediately recognized his identity and, without any hesitation, responded:

"Master Wu, it is indeed that Heart Jade. This jade can keep the wearer cool in summer and warm in winter. Two years ago, it reached an astonishing price of 330 million."

Upon hearing this, the goateed elder chuckled. He jokingly spoke up:

"A piece worth several billion is going for just 100,000? Hehe, interesting. Well then, for this Heart Jade, I offer 200,000!"

At that moment, Chu Mo slightly narrowed his eyes. Although reluctant, such an incident still occurred.

The eight major families clearly came with ill intent. They would certainly be happy to cause trouble, something Chu Mo was already prepared for and not surprised by. However, at this moment, he noticed that Ross family heir Geng Pan by his side suddenly looked cold.

The Heart Jade was initially meant for the blond young man beside him, and he hadn't bid because he intended to let the young lady in the back row whom he was favoring have it. Now that someone had unexpectedly intercepted, disrupting his plan, he was naturally displeased.

Therefore, not even waiting for Chu Mo to react, the handsome young man by his side suddenly raised his hand and declared:

"One billion!"

The starting price of the Heart Jade was 330 million, and its actual value was even higher, at five billion. Geng Pan offered one billion outright, effectively increasing the previous bid a hundredfold. He clearly didn't want to waste time haggling with the other party.

Otherwise, if the two started bidding up by 100,000 each time, who knew when it would end.

As Geng Pan placed his bid, Wu Tongda in the middle hesitated slightly. Being one of the eight major families, he naturally had his own bottom line and savvy. He didn't recognize the blond young man in the front row, but sitting together with Chu Mo, the young man clearly held no ordinary status.
