"Ding~"
The POS machine indicates that there is insufficient balance in the card.
The waiter reminded him from the side.
Zhou Hao's face turned even more ashen. "What's going on? Why is my card balance insufficient? Did you make a mistake?"
"There is nothing wrong with the machine."
"I must have brought the wrong card. I'll come back another day."
This is incredibly embarrassing.
It's not just about losing face for the Zhou family; it's about bringing disaster upon them.
"Young Master Zhou, you don't seem to have any money, do you?"
Lanxi sneered, "If you weren't the young master of the Zhou family, I would throw you into the river to feed the fish right now."
"No, no, how could I not have any? How could I not have money?"
Zhou Hao gritted his teeth and said.
"Since you have the money, then pay the bill! Don't tell me you don't know the rules of the Lan family."
The rule of the Lan family auction house is that you pay immediately after winning the bid.
If you don't have the money, you'll have to pay a hefty penalty for breach of contract.
They'll either get chopped up and fed to the dogs.
This rule is the cruelest; no one dares to disobey it.
But now that he has asked for a sky-high price of 10 billion, he has no money to pay it, which is simply a big joke.
"this......"
Zhou Hao's expression shifted between light and dark.
Lanxi immediately made a phone call to his older brother, Zhou Feng.
"Hey Zhou Feng, your brother is overcharging us. Tell me, do you want money or people?"
After a long silence on the other end of the phone, a cold voice came through.
"How much."
"Ten billion."
Lanxi said calmly.
"What did you say?! Ten billion?!"
"Yes, it's 10 billion!"
"impossible!"
"Do you think I'm joking? If you don't pay, you can come and collect your brother's corpse."
Zhou Hao was dumbfounded. His face turned deathly pale, and for a moment he really didn't know what to do.
The attendant standing nearby was sweating profusely with anxiety.
He really didn't understand what was wrong with the young master.
Why would they ask for a price of 10 billion?
"How much is the penalty for breach of contract?"
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone before someone finally spoke.
"One billion."
Lanxi said calmly.
One billion!?
Upon hearing this number, Zhou Hao was so frightened that he collapsed into his chair, his eyes glazed over, filled with terror.
"What to do, what to do..."
Zhou Hao plopped down in the chair, completely bewildered.
"I'll pay the penalty for breach of contract, just let my brother go."
Zhou Feng's voice came from the other end of the phone, calm in tone, but it sounded like an endless chill.
Are you sure you can afford it?
"It's only one billion; it's still within my budget."
Zhou Feng's voice was very calm.
"Alright, the transaction is complete."
Lanxi hung up the phone, a strange smile appearing on her lips as she looked at Zhou Hao.
"Now, your dog's life is spared."
After saying that, Lanxi turned to the servant beside her, "Take him aside and serve Young Master Zhou well. Once the Zhou family's money arrives, throw this brat out."
"Ladies and gentlemen, there was a slight hiccup just now. The auction for the Dragon Blood Fruit will now continue."
Lanxi smiled and regained her previous elegance.
"Welcome everyone to continue bidding!"
"One billion!"
"Two billion."
Xu Xiwang announced two billion, and everyone stopped in their tracks.
Everyone knows that the eldest young master of the Xu family is no longer the same as before; he's a ruthless man of his generation!
Look how badly that arrogant young master from the Zhou family got tricked!
Who would dare to mess with him?
So now even some wealthy businessmen don't dare to compete with him, after all, offending the eldest son of the Xu family is really not worth it.
"Two billion once, two billion twice, two billion three times! Sold! Congratulations to Young Master Xu on winning the Dragon Blood Fruit!"
"puff!"
Zhou Hao spat out a mouthful of blood onto the ground, his face as pale as paper.
His head was buzzing, and he felt like he was about to faint.
How is that possible?
Two billion was won!
I've been completely screwed over by Xu Xiwang!
"Xu Xiwang, I've remembered this debt, and I'll get my revenge one day!"
......
"Lanxi, what's so appealing about these things? What exactly is this treasure you're talking about?"
Xu Xiwang swallowed the dragon blood fruit bite by bite, as he spoke.
Su Yueyao had seen Xu Xiwang eat piles of spiritual fruits and knew that Xu Xiwang had a special constitution, so she didn't take it seriously.
But this scene made Lanxi's lips twitch.
Why is this guy eating spirit fruits like they're candy?!
Aren't you afraid of stuffing yourself to death?
This Dragon Blood Fruit is originally a fire-type spiritual fruit, and it also incorporates the essence blood of a dragon-type monster at the ninth level of Qi and Blood. The spiritual energy contained in the fruit is extremely violent, and those with low cultivation levels will generally be blown apart, or even die.
Even Lanxi couldn't withstand even half a pill without help in refining it, yet this guy dared to eat it all in one bite!
But he ate with great relish.
This is simply a freak.
Lanxi couldn't help but curse inwardly.
"You're a monster! How did you suddenly become so awesome?"
Lanxi couldn't help but make a comment.
"What's so great about me?"
Xu Xiwang looked at Lanxi with a puzzled expression, "Tell me quickly, what treasure is it?"
"He's on stage, watch closely, don't blink."
More than ten guards, armed with guns, slowly pushed a small cart in.
"Distinguished guests, this is the grand finale of this auction."
