The auction was held at a five-star hotel in Shanghai. The hotel took this very seriously and even demolished a wall to combine two banquet halls into one.
This grand event is attracting worldwide attention, and the final transaction price is enough to buy the entire hotel. Moreover, it's a fantastic opportunity to enhance one's reputation.
Billions may not be a staggering figure for some truly high-ranking individuals, but it is astonishing when used to buy a diamond instead of for investment.
Similarly, entry to this venue also has very high requirements regarding one's identity; almost no one has assets below 100 million.
Security work was unnecessary; they simply used the most reliable tempered glass available at the time to make three layers, which even armor-piercing bullets couldn't break through, and it was completely sealed off. It would be a huge hassle to remove it, requiring laser cutting.
The triple-layered glass surrounding the diamond kept the crowd two meters apart, and an unknown number of security guards were hidden around, with even snipers lurking outside the building. This auction had even attracted national attention, and these guards were all elite military personnel.
When Chen Yang entered, he had nothing on him except his phone. However, his ring contained nothing at all.
A pistol, a shotgun, a set of throwing knives specially crafted for him by a master craftsman in New Zealand, and his indomitable spirit.
Besides these few things, there are all kinds of snacks. It's nice to take them out and have a bite when you have nothing to do.
In reality, there's no need to prepare as much as in the micro-world. Chen Yang rarely leaves civilized society, so preparing too much is pointless.
In fact, the spatial ring's function in the micro-world far exceeds that in reality. It can store various resources and materials, and weapons can also be placed inside.
However, there are no restrictions in the micro-world. He can carry a large bag, a great sword, throwing knives around his waist, ropes, water bags, and so on, and no one will care.
In reality, this would definitely be considered a dangerous person with a mental illness and would be arrested and questioned by the police.
Therefore, Chen Yang chose to bring the ring into reality, which would ensure his safety and provide convenience. He'd just have to work harder in the micro-world, carrying more things, since it wouldn't be heavy for him anyway.
Mo Xi specially reserved seats for the people of the realm. She was in charge of many matters related to this auction in Shanghai, including some pick-up and drop-off services.
She always picks up influential figures from around the world at the airport; with such a formidable network of resources, how could she possibly miss out?
The casual acquaintances she made this time have been of great help to the Mo Group, and securing this opportunity has greatly solidified Mo Xi's position within the group.
As soon as Chen Yang entered the venue, he noticed that Jiang Bo and Ye Wen had also entered, so he smiled and waved to them.
Upon seeing Chen Yang, Jiang Bo immediately walked towards them.
Just then, a middle-aged blond man suddenly walked up to Jiang Bo and Ye Wen, or more precisely, to Ye Wen.
He said in fairly fluent Chinese:
"Madam, my name is Edmond. I hope to have the pleasure of having dinner with you after the auction tonight."
He handed over a business card, which clearly stated his bilingual (Chinese and English) introduction: Emma Ya, President of China Southern Region.
Ye Wen was stunned, and an angry expression immediately appeared on her face. This was not even a flirtation, it was no different from handing over a room key.
Jiang Bo took the business card, then threw it on the ground and stomped on it.
“The richer a person is, the dirtier they become, like dog shit,” Jiang Bo spat.
"That requires money. I don't know how someone like you got in here. But I really like your female companion's temperament. I don't mind having her accompany me for a while. As for the benefits, you won't believe it."
Edmund didn't mind Jiang Bo's disdain at all; on the contrary, he looked down on him.
"Many women want to get close to me. Giving you this opportunity is a sign of my respect for you."
Edmund has a sharp eye. Although Jiang Bo and Ye Wen were both dressed in formal attire and looked quite presentable, he could tell at a glance that the clothes they wore together cost no more than a few thousand yuan.
In other situations, this wouldn't be a big deal, but this is an auction in Jieguang. It would be embarrassing if the total price of an outfit didn't exceed 100,000. Most of them are custom-made and very expensive.
And that's just clothing; watches and such start at millions, with many costing tens of millions.
However, Edmund liked this woman's temperament, and he would definitely get what he wanted. She was just an ordinary woman; she probably knew some people and managed to get a spot to see the world.
"Idiot."
Ye Wen said dismissively, then took Jiang Bo's hand and prepared to leave.
"Wait." Edmund reached out to stop him, only to find his hand being grabbed by another hand, and he felt as if he were trapped in a vise, completely unable to move.
A young Chinese man stood in front of him, looking at him expressionlessly.
"Another third-rate person."
Edmund glanced at the young man and noticed that he couldn't tell where the clothes on the young man came from; they were probably custom-made. However, the woman next to him was wearing a new spring dress that cost just over 8,000 RMB, which Edmund had seen many times before.
"No matter who you are, I advise you to release me first, or you won't be able to bear the consequences," Edmund said coldly.
He tried to pull his hand back, but no matter how hard he tried, it felt like he was fighting against a mountain, utterly powerless.
Chen Yang suddenly let go. He was trying to pull his hand out when he suddenly stumbled and almost fell to the ground.
"Emma, the president of the Southeast region, is that it? You're just here to make up the numbers at this auction, yet you're so arrogant," Chen Yang said.
Edmund snorted coldly, his expression not very pleasant.
"Who are you."
"Chen Yang, owner of the Microworld Inn, feel free to ask me out if you want," Chen Yang said with a nonchalant smile.
Edmund glared at them fiercely, but knowing he was at a disadvantage in this situation, he didn't say anything and quietly left.
"Once we're out of the venue, when you're begging for mercy, the woman who's meant to be mine will be mine," he thought with a cold laugh.
Who is Edmond? Few women who set their sights on him can escape his grasp. He doesn't even need to do anything; these women will come to him on their own. Even if it's just for Emma's bags and various luxury items, they are willing to spend the night with him.
