Chapter 260: Photographing the Purple Spirit Stone
Neil Purvis looked at Jiang Che who was full of hostility towards him, but he still maintained his gentlemanly demeanor and smiled, "Mr. Jiang seems to have a big misunderstanding of me. At the beginning, you and I were both working for our country, so some grievances are also due to our respective duties. Now that we are together, it is fate. At this moment, it is better for us to be friends calmly."
Jiang Che sneered, "People with different ideals cannot work together. I believe that President Neil will never understand this old saying of our empire."
"Don't worry, Mr. Jiang. We have a long way to go." Neil Purvis smiled warmly.
Xiao Liyue looked at Neil Purvis in front of her. He was indeed a handsome foreign man. Although he was polite and gentle, he was actually a unscrupulous person.
It is no wonder that Jiang Che dislikes him so much. If she stays with such a person, she will probably die without knowing how. If she didn't need him to find spiritual fruits for her, she would definitely not bother to cooperate with such a person.
Neil Purvis just clapped his hands gently, and the beautiful waitresses began to serve the dishes one after another. The various delicious dishes were eye-catching. He was willing to spend a lot of money.
After finishing the meal, Xiao Liyue wiped her mouth and hands with a napkin, and then said, "President Neil, you and I are both smart people, so just tell me straight! You treated me to such a luxurious meal, what do you want from me?"
Neil Purvis put down his napkin and smiled gently, "Master Xiao is really amazing. He can tell at a glance that I have something to ask for. Neil does have something to ask for. I wonder if Master Xiao can come forward to help us."
Xiao Liyue played with the dessert cup in her hand and said calmly, "You want me to catch the Green Vampire King for you, right?"
"Master Xiao really knows everything. Neil admires him very much. I wonder what Master Xiao thinks?" Neil Purvis said.
Xiao Liyue stopped what she was doing, raised her eyes and smiled, "I can help you catch him, but the prerequisite is that you need to help me find the glowing fruit later."
Neil Purvis smiled and said, "Very good. Then Master Xiao wishes us a pleasant cooperation." After saying that, he raised his hand in front of him.
She put her hand in his big hand, and they shook hands gently. After letting go, Neil Purvis was still a little reluctant.
In his eyes, Xiao Liyue is an excellent and perfect imperial beauty, who is more elegant and imposing than most beauties in their M country, which makes Neil Purvis very interested in her.
He had also investigated her. She was an ordinary orphan, only seventeen years old, but she suddenly possessed superhuman strength. How could he not be interested in such a woman?
It’s not that there are people who are not curious about Xiao Liyue, but because she is too well protected by the empire, their people cannot enter the villa area in Zone 1 at all.
After reaching an agreement, Neil Purvis said goodbye to Xiao Liyue and the others and went downstairs to prepare for the second auction.
An hour later, Xiao Liyue, Jiang Che and Professor Hou went downstairs.
As the guests returned, Neil Purvis slowly walked onto the auction stage and said with a warm smile, "Welcome everyone back to the auction. The second auction will officially begin."
"Now, let's invite the first item in our auction to come on stage. This is a bronze ware from the Huai State 5,000 years ago. It is a very historical collectible. The starting price is one million, and each bid will not be less than one hundred thousand. I wish all the guests a happy auction."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Che offered 10 million. Everyone looked at Xiao Liyue beside him and tactfully did not rush to bid.
In the next auction, Jiang Che and Professor Hou successfully bought all the ancient artifacts belonging to the empire.
They also naturally knew that it was because of Xiao Liyue that they were able to buy them all at such a low price.
It was not until the end of the second auction that a purple jade caught her attention, because the purple jade immediately contained a rich spiritual energy, which made her very excited and bid.
When the others saw that Xiao Liyue liked it, they were tactful and did not bid.
Suddenly a woman in a white dress shouted, "I'll give you 50 million!"
Everyone was shocked when they saw this. There was actually someone who didn't know Xiao Liyue and dared to snatch things from her. She felt really lucky.
"One hundred million!" Xiao Liyue shouted, raising the cards in her hand.
"Two hundred million!" The woman in the white dress kept bidding.
"Five hundred million!" Xiao Liyue continued to shout.
The woman in white wanted to bid more, but was stopped by the middle-aged man beside her. "Ms. Carly Fiorina, please don't raise the price any more. She is the Master Xiao of the Empire and the richest person in the world. You can't compete with her at all. You will only offend her if you do so. Believe me, your family will not be happy if you offend her. This is why none of us present competed with her for the position."
Seeing this, Carrie Fiorina said with an unhappy face: "She is just a little charlatan who can only play some tricks. How can she become the richest person in the world? I doubt she has that much money."
When the richest people present saw that Carrie Fiorina dared to humiliate Xiao Liyue, they all worried for her, thinking she was really asking for trouble.
Neil Purvis frowned when he saw this and shouted, "Carrie Fiorina! This is not the place for you to mess around. Someone send her out."
Seeing that Neil had sent her out in public for a strange woman, Carrie Fiorina said with a wronged look on her face, "Neil, are you in love with this Imperial woman? That's why you rejected me when I asked you out for dinner this morning, but turned around and had dinner with this woman instead."
Neil Purvis frowned even more tightly. He was not interested in Carrie Fiorina, who was in a family marriage arrangement. Now she was humiliating Xiao Liyue in public. How could such a stupid woman be worthy of being his, Neil Purvis', wife?
"Send her out. Don't make me say it for the third time." Neil said with cold eyes.
The bodyguard ignored her resistance and carried her out of the auction.
Then Neil said apologetically: "Master Xiao, please don't mind what she said. To express our apologies, this purple jade is given to you."
Xiao Liyue nodded: "Yes!"
It was given for free, so she naturally wouldn't refuse it.
Soon the second auction ended. Xiao Liyue bought two spiritual stones with spiritual power, while Jiang Che and Professor Hou bought twenty-one ancient artifacts belonging to the empire, spending more than 5 billion.
Although they spent a lot of money, they didn't feel sorry at all.
During dinner, Neil Purvis had people serve them a variety of delicious food, as well as several million bottles of red wine. Xiao Liyue and the others naturally did not refuse, but started eating happily.
After dinner, we rested for another half an hour and the third auction was about to begin.
The treasures in the third auction are the highlight, so everyone is very excited and curious about what the top treasures are tonight.
