Chapter 265: Killing Everyone Instantly

The first item to be auctioned off was a silver necklace.

The owner of this necklace is the current Queen's nephew, the Duke of Kent.

Normally, a silver necklace is nothing special, but this one is obviously different. It has eleven silver plates on it, each of which is inlaid with a miniature photo of the queen, her husband, and her nine children.

This is a special product for the British royal family, so it is naturally expensive.

The second auction item is also about the British royal family. It is a special edition magazine about the royal family. The picture on the cover was hand-painted by a royal painter, and the words were made of gold powder. The original magazine looks golden and very classy.

As a result, with a price of over 100,000 pounds, this magazine became the most expensive magazine in the world.

Yang Huan discovered that both items were related to the British royal family, and he felt a little strange.

"Why are all the nobles' belongings being auctioned off? Aren't these meant to be treasured?"

Charlene Lahri obviously didn't know much about this kind of thing, but Zhuang Ziqing knew more about it.

"Don't be fooled by the fact that the royal family members all look so glorious in front of others, but in fact, many of them are extremely poor behind the scenes."

"What do you mean?" Yang Huan was most interested in this kind of secret.

"Just like the Duke of Kent, this is not the first time he has auctioned these collections. He once sold a chair used by George III for 100,000 pounds. He now makes a living by auctioning his ancestral collections."

Yang Huan found this interesting, "Are you really that poor?"

"Who said it wasn't?" Zhuang Ziqing also found it funny. Which of these nobles was not elegant and graceful in front of others?

Who could have thought that he was in such a miserable state in secret?

"They live in a palace, and the annual rent is as high as 120,000 pounds. If they don't have money to pay the rent, they have to sell their things. If they don't have money to live, they have to sell their things again. Just imagine, to attend a banquet like this, the dress and so on, all cost money."

Yang Huan understood this and nodded.

Didn’t these two beauties next to me order dresses specifically for attending the party?

"In the royal aristocratic circle, people are actually very competitive. Someone will remember what you wore last time. If they see you wearing the same clothes next time, I'm sorry, but you will become the subject of jokes in private."

Wow, it turns out that nobles are like this too!

Yang Huan shook his head. The bigger the occasion, the greater the cost.

It seems that it is not easy to wear the hat of aristocracy these days.

"You see, they often hold a gathering of nobles and invite some wealthy people to attend. In fact, it is for auction. They say that they will give a portion to charity. How much will they give?"

Yang Huan kept nodding.

No wonder so many lords came to me to use the back door to waive the £100,000 membership fee.

It turns out that these bastards are all a bunch of poor guys!

We must not allow them to join the club at all costs. It will bring down the reputation of Southampton members!

"However, for the wealthy, this is also the most advantageous shortcut to enter the core circle of the upper class. Moreover, buying such auction items at a high price can be regarded as giving face to the owner. They have a good relationship with each other, so it can be regarded as a win-win situation."

Yang Huan saw through it.

Nowadays, no matter where you go, only those with money can be the boss!

At this time, the auctioneer finally revealed the third lot.

"This is a piece of warm jade from ancient China. The longer you wear it, the warmer it becomes. There are ancient Chinese characters engraved on it. It comes from the Duke of Bedood's collection for decades. The auction price starts at 50,000 pounds!"

Following the host's words, everyone's eyes fell on a red jade pendant on the stage that was slightly smaller than a palm.

This jade pendant looks very simple and ancient, but it is still very round and crystal clear. It is a treasure.

"I'll give you fifty thousand pounds!"

"Fifty-three thousand pounds!"

"Fifty-five thousand pounds!"

"Sixty thousand pounds!"

"Sixty-five thousand pounds!"

"Seventy thousand pounds!"

"Eighty thousand pounds!"

The auction price began to rise steadily, but as time went on, fewer and fewer people made bids, and the hesitation time became longer.

After all, who knows where this red jade pendant comes from?

If Chinese culture hadn’t been quite popular in recent years, few people would have been interested in filming it.

Yang Huan looked at the jade pendant, leaned over and asked, "Ziqing, can you tell what it is?"

Zhuang Ziqing shook her head, "I didn't see that."

Yang Huan clicked his tongue twice, "Looking at how people have treasured it for decades, it shouldn't be too bad."

After hearing what he said, Zhuang Ziqing looked at his eyes which were staring at her cunningly, as if asking, "Is it okay to take this as a gift?"

"I think it's pretty good, not shabby."

Yang Huan was delighted when he heard this. He raised his hand and shouted loudly, "One hundred and fifty thousand pounds!"

Everyone in the audience was shocked.

They all turned their heads one by one and were dumbfounded when they saw Yang Huan raising his right hand.

Others only bid for 80,000, but you asked for 150,000, and it was sold out instantly!

My goodness, isn’t this too willful?

Zhuang Ziqing's face was covered with sweat. Brother, can you be more low-key?

On the contrary, Charlene Lahiri just laughed, as she was used to Yang Huan's behavior.

The MC looked around at everyone and said, "This gentleman is offering 150,000 pounds. Is there anyone who can offer more than him?"

No one answered. This was already the highest price in the venue!

"I'll count to three. Three... two... one... deal!"

As the hammer fell, the highest price so far in the auction was £150,000.

Immediately, someone respectfully brought the wooden box containing the red warm jade to Yang Huan.

As for money, if you can come here, would you worry about not being able to pay?

The wooden box is finely crafted and has excellent carving skills. It also seems to be an antique from China.

But as a layman in antiques, Yang Huan couldn't see what was special about it at all.

Not to mention him, who among all the foreigners in the audience could tell?

When I opened the box, I found a warm jade inside, as red as blood. When I put it in my palm, it seemed to feel the temperature of the human body, and the red became even brighter.

"Wow, that's good!" Yang Huan looked at it and liked it very much.

The gift that was bought for 150,000 pounds is a treasure that has been passed down in the British royal duke family for decades. How could it be bad?

"I'll leave it here with you!"

Yang Huan casually handed it to Zhuang Ziqing.

"Why did you send it to me?"

"Isn't it the same if I put the gift for your grandfather where you are and where I am?"

What Yang Huan hates most is carrying things, it’s troublesome.

But to Zhuang Ziqing, this meant something else: Aren't we two a family? Who is following whom?

This time she blushed and accepted it.

The young couple were chatting in whispers as if no one was around, but the atmosphere in the venue became heated.

"This Chinese man is so rich. One hundred and fifty thousand pounds is like paper."

"Yes, look at his generous appearance, he is so rich."

"I read in the newspapers that he earns several million pounds a day. Of course he doesn't care about this little money."

"Millions of pounds? Really?"

"Of course it's true. Don't you use an iPhone? Go to the Apple Store and look down the revenue charts. The top three games are all made by him. Do you think he's making money?"

"Wow, that's awesome!"

"The Queen plays his games, how can that not be awesome?"

"No wonder, no wonder, it seems that I really need to curry favor with him in the future!"

"That's right, they have plenty of money and can't spend it all!"

…

There was a lot of discussion in the meeting hall, and everyone was amazed at Yang Huan's wealth.

But there are also people who are not convinced at all.

"This bastard just has a lot of money. He sold a red jade pendant for 150,000 pounds. He seems to be afraid that others don't know he is rich. He is just like a nouveau riche. How vulgar!"

Lord Hunter turned his head angrily and glared fiercely at Yang Huan in the back row.

He had not forgotten the humiliation Yang Huan had just inflicted on him.

He even lost face in front of so many upper-class aristocrats. He hated this!

"They just have money and are willful. What can we do?"

Another noble sitting next to him said with a smile.

"That's right. We don't have as much money as others, so we can only envy them from the sidelines."

"I think he is quite wealthy and it is obvious that he is here to show off tonight. Why not just raise the price and put some pressure on him?" someone suggested.

"Well, that's a good idea!" Lord Hunter agreed.

"I think so too. We can't allow a Chinese person to be so arrogant in our territory!"

"Yes, we have to suppress him and let him know how powerful we are."

"Okay, let's do it!" Lord Hunter turned his head and looked at Yang Huan again.

It just so happened that Yang Huan, who was among so many people at this time, noticed his malicious look.

Lord Hunter made a provocative gesture towards him, as if to say, I want to fight you, if you have the guts, let's have a fight.

Yang Huan immediately nodded with a smile and made a humiliating gesture of thumbs down towards him, which made Lord Hunter so angry that he was fuming.

"What are you doing?" Charlene Lahiri noticed Yang Huan's gesture.

Yang Huan laughed and said, "Nothing, I just met a ****."

Charlene Lahiri looked in the direction Yang Huan had just gone and saw Lord Hunter's provocative look and actions.

"He's trying to irritate you on purpose!"

Zhuang Ziqing also noticed it, "Yeah, don't be fooled!"

Only Yang Huan could make her and Charlene Lahiri agree on the same opinion.

Yang Huan laughed, "Don't worry, I know my limits. Do you want to compete with me in wealth?"

At this point, Yang Huan smiled arrogantly, "Doesn't he know that my Young Master Huan lacks everything except money? It just so happens that I'm having a headache about how to spend all the money I earn every month, so I'll just play with them!"

Zhuang Ziqing and Charlene Lahri looked at each other without sparks flying, and both saw the worry in each other's eyes.

Is this guy trying to mess around?

Soon, another heavyweight item was brought to the auction table.

A diamond brooch created in 1880, with the English letters "victoriar" formed by diamonds and inlaid on gold products, looks very luxurious and aristocratic.

The price of this auction item is also the highest in the auction, starting at 100,000 pounds and 5,000 pounds at a time.

Now the whole audience was excited.

It can be seen that the items at the auction are becoming more and more interesting.

But on the other hand, it is not difficult to see that some nobles were indeed extremely poor and were desperately hoping to make a living by auctioning off their ancestral property.

"The auction starts now!"

Following the emcee's command, all the people who were ready to go jumped up enthusiastically.

"One hundred thousand pounds!"

Almost at the same time, more than a dozen people rushed to shout out a low price of one hundred thousand pounds.

But amid the noisy crowd, someone shouted out another price, which seemed very abrupt.

"Five hundred thousand pounds!"

For a moment, the whole place was dead silent.

Everyone was stunned.

After two or three seconds, he turned his head around, looking for the person who made the sound.

Finally, everyone's eyes fell on the last row.

Yang Huan raised his right hand high with a smiling face.

It was obvious that it was the 500,000 pounds he had just shouted out.

"Wow, it's him again!"

“So rich!”

"Yeah, half a million pounds? Isn't that outrageous?"

"Those are broken diamonds, not worth such a high price. Even if they are used exclusively by the royal family, the price is only about 300,000 pounds at most."

"I can only say that he is too willful!"

Everyone was talking about it, but everyone at Lord Hunter's table was dumbfounded.

Five hundred thousand pounds.

It sold out the entire venue in seconds. Who could afford such a high price?

The other three people immediately looked at Lord Hunter, who was the richest person at the table.

Lord Hunter was also a little hesitant, but when he turned his head and saw Yang Huan making provocative gestures at him, he suddenly became angry and raised his right hand high.
