Chapter 212: I, Jiang Feng, am worth five hundred billion!

~7 min read 1,383 words

Jiangnan Wang sat in his seat, hearing the Zhennan Wuhou shout out three hundred fifty billion, his dental crown nearly grinding to pieces.

He never expected that the Zhennan Wuhou would suddenly raise the price to this level.

Si Jiannan sensed Jiangnan Wang's mood and hurriedly leaned close to his ear.

"Prince, the maximum funds we prepared for Yun Hengqiu are three hundred fifty billion. This Zhennan Wuhou is clearly going all out. If we keep following, we'll have to tap the Prince's Residence's core family assets. Should we continue to follow?"

Jiangnan Wang snapped his head around, glowering fiercely at the nearby closed‑eyed Jiang Feng, his eyes brimming with hatred about to burst forth.

This is all Jiang Feng's fault!

If he hadn't caused all this trouble, the Tiger Talisman would never have appeared at the Auction Hall, and I wouldn't be so forced!

He took a deep breath, clenched his teeth, and whispered orders to Si Jiannan.

"Follow! Why not follow! I have long said that at any cost we must seize the Tiger Talisman; even if we empty the Prince's Residence's assets, we must snatch that Tiger Talisman!"

Si Jiannan felt a weight in his heart, realizing Jiangnan Wang was determined to push through to the end.

He dared not say more, only lowered his head again and quickly drafted a message on his phone and sent it.

However, despite Si Jiannan's covert actions, they did not escape Jiang Feng's eyes.

Jiang Feng still leaned against the chair back, taking in Si Jiannan's movements, a cold smile curling at his mouth.

Within seconds, Yun Hengqiu in the third row of the venue received the message.

His previously pallid complexion instantly regained color, and his expression turned smug again.

He cleared his throat, straightened his back, and shouted loudly toward the High Platform.

"Three hundred fifty billion? Wuhou really doesn't regard the nation's treasure!"

"Today I, Yun Hengqiu, will go all out—four hundred billion! I want to see whether Wuhou is willing to squander his entire fortune to exchange for this tiny Tiger Talisman!"

"Four hundred billion?"

The words sparked another commotion; many gasped, their gazes at Yun Hengqiu filled with astonishment.

Four hundred billion—a figure that could crush most top‑tier conglomerates, and Yun Hengqiu actually dared to shout it!

Is this guy truly treating money as nothing?

Or perhaps Prince Huai really intends to battle the Zhennan Wuhou Residence to the end?

Xiao Po Zhan heard the quote, and his brows instantly knit tightly.

After a moment of silence, just as he was about to speak up to raise the price, a close guard beside him immediately stepped forward.

"Lord, we can't raise it any further! This time we have only pooled three hundred billion from the Wuhou Residence and various Nanjiang merchants, with the Dragon Group's fifty billion already included. If we demand more, we'll have to tap the Nanjiang Army's military budget!"

The guard's tone was full of anxiety.

"Lord, you know the Nanjiang Army's payroll is the bottom line; if we touch it, the morale of the entire Nanjiang forces will crumble, and that would be a cataclysmic disaster no one can bear!"

The Zhennan Wuhou's body stiffened sharply, and the resolve on his face faded instantly.

He stared fixedly at the Tiger Talisman on the High Platform, his mind a battle between heaven and man.

Jiangnan Wang watched all this, unable to hide a smug smile at the corner of his mouth.

He knows all too well that Xiao Po Zhan has reached his limit!

This Tiger Talisman is about to fall into his own hands!

But just as Jiangnan Wang thought victory was in his grasp, a lazy voice suddenly came from the first row, instantly breaking the stalemate inside the venue.

"Looks like this thing is pretty novel; how about this: I'll pay five hundred billion to buy this Tiger Talisman, and you all can stop fighting."

Everyone turned toward the voice and saw Jiang Feng leisurely standing up from his chair, stretching lazily.

The tone was as relaxed as if buying cabbage at a market, as if five hundred billion meant nothing at all.

"Five hundred billion!"

"Oh my god, who is this? Opening with five hundred billion?"

"Is that attitude too bold? Could it be the Empire's richest man in disguise?"

"Why have I never seen this person? Where did he get five hundred billion? He's here to cause trouble, right?"

The whole venue erupted instantly, everyone staring at Jiang Feng in shock, each face filled with disbelief.

Five hundred billion is no longer just burning money; it's like burning mountains of gold and silver!

Jiangnan Wang, hearing that voice, sprang up from his seat in an instant.

He almost couldn't restrain himself and roared at Jiang Feng.

"Jiang Feng! You're just a run‑down medical hall owner—where did you get five hundred billion? This is the Yitian Pavilion Auction Hall, not a place for you to cause trouble! Shut your mouth right now!"

He harbored deep hatred for Jiang Feng; to jump out now and cause trouble was like cutting off his financial path!

At the same time he felt confused—wasn't the Tiger Talisman the one Jiang Feng put up for auction?

So why is he now bidding to snatch the Tiger Talisman?

The crucial point is, even if Jiangnan Wang emptied all his assets, the most he could muster is six hundred billion.

Jiang Feng's sudden shout of five hundred billion completely derailed his plan, leaving him clueless about what to do next.

Yun Hengqiu in the third row was also utterly bewildered; he didn't know Jiang Feng at all.

Who is this guy? How can he be more arrogant than me!

But when he heard Jiangnan Wang's words, he let out a snort of laughter.

"What are you? Still five hundred billion? I think even selling you wouldn't fetch a fraction of five hundred billion! Get out of here quickly, don't embarrass yourself!"

Yun Hengqiu was convinced Jiang Feng was here to cause trouble.

After all, a medical hall owner couldn't possibly have five hundred billion.

The majority of those present looked at Jiang Feng with utter contempt.

Jiang Feng ignored Yun Hengqiu's mockery and simply turned his head toward Duanmu Ya on the High Platform.

Then, in a startling way, Shi Potian blurted out a line.

Duanmu Pavilion Master, I'll ask just one thing: am I, Jiang Feng, worth five hundred hundred million?

Duanmu Pavilion Master, you don't pay attention to him! He's a petty person who doesn't know the sky's height nor the earth's depth; he's here to stir up trouble! Before Duanmu Ya could answer, Jiangnan Wang Immediately rose to respond.

In his view, Duanmu Ya, as Yitian Pavilion's Pavilion Master, has a noble status and could never bother with a small figure like Jiang Feng; he would definitely drive him out directly.

The crowd inside also broke into Laughter, each one echoing in agreement.

This kid must be crazy, right? He even asks whether he himself is worth five hundred hundred million?

Exactly, how could Duanmu Pavilion Master possibly give him a friendly look?

Just wait and see, Duanmu Pavilion Master will definitely have someone drive him out!

But while everyone was waiting to see Jiang Feng become a laughingstock, Duanmu Ya on the High Platform suddenly withdrew the smile from his face.

She looked at Jiang Feng with a solemn expression, revealing a kind smile.

If it's Mr. Jiang, then of course it's worth five hundred hundred million; Yitian Pavilion is willing to act as guarantor!

What?

When those words were spoken, the whole venue fell into instant dead silence, everyone stared dumbfounded at Duanmu Ya.

Jiangnan Wang, even more, seemed struck by a flash of thunder, Throughout person froze on the spot.

He could not possibly believe that Duanmu Ya would actually acknowledge that Jiang Feng is worth five hundred hundred million!

How could this be? A person who runs a small Medical Hall—how could they earn such regard from the Yitian Pavilion's Pavilion Master?

Now, it's my turn, five hundred hundred million… Yun Hengqiu, will you still place a bid? Or…

Jiang Feng paused briefly, his gaze deliberately wandering for a moment.

Or should I go talk with the hidden benefactor behind you?
