Chapter 610

At this very moment, most of the people present were breaking into a cold sweat for Ye Chen.

Although everyone knew Ye Chen was very capable and even quite accomplished in Xuanxue, they truly did not believe Ye Chen could outdo Kong Delong in a pure competition of who had more money.

The Kong family's strength was indeed far greater than these families in Jiangnan; if one looked at the scale of assets, Kong Delong coming to Jin Ling was like a fierce dragon crossing the river.

Because in Jin Ling, no one could compare to Kong Delong.

Even in the entire Jiangnan region, no one could compare to him.

Moreover, a 20-million-dollar ruby necklace was already almost top-tier among ruby necklaces.

Even a diamond the size of an egg might not necessarily be worth that much money.

So everyone was speculating about what exactly was inside the small box Ye Chen gave Song Wanting that made him so confident, feeling it would be more expensive than 20 million dollars.

At this moment, Song Wanting carefully unwrapped the gift box. When the small square gift box inside was revealed, the people present felt even more worried.

This kind of gift box didn't look like anything high-end, because for truly good items, the gift boxes used for packaging were also very exquisite.

But Ye Chen's looked like something he had just casually bought at a gift shop, worth at most a few hundred yuan at best.

At this moment, everyone believed Ye Chen was sure to lose.

After seeing this gift box, Kong Delong also sneered with disdain: "Master Ye, putting something worth over 20 million dollars in such a broken box, isn't that a bit too cheapening?"

Ye Chen said indifferently: "The value of an item is not determined by its packaging, so although Young Master Kong is dressed in finery, your value is not necessarily higher than those who dress ordinarily."

Kong Delong snorted coldly and questioned: "You surnamed Ye, what do you mean? Do you mean that this young master's value is not as high as a loser like you?"

Ye Chen smiled slightly: "It's just an analogy; if you really want to think that way, then I can't help it."

As he spoke, Ye Chen spread his hands helplessly, his face full of confidence.

Kong Delong was uncomfortably angry, but too lazy to bicker with him, so he said coldly: "Hurry up and let everyone see it. I'm still waiting to see how you eat these utensils."

Song Wanting looked at Ye Chen with a worried expression; at this moment, she didn't even know if she should open this gift box.

Ye Chen gave her a reassuring look and smiled indifferently: "Miss Wanting, since Young Master Kong is so eager to see what is inside, then open it and let him take a look."

Only then did Song Wanting nod and gently flip open the lid of the gift box.

As soon as it was opened, a strange fragrance immediately rushed out from the gift box.

Old Master Song, sitting next to Song Wanting, felt as if he had been struck by lightning the moment he smelled this scent!

He was too familiar with this scent, because this was the magical Rejuvenation Pill that had made him at least 20 years younger!

And at this moment, someone at another table exclaimed: "My God, it really is a Rejuvenation Pill!"

"Master Ye's gesture is truly too grand. For Miss Wanting's birthday, he actually gave a Rejuvenation Pill?!"

"I'm so envious of Miss Wanting, being able to receive such favor from Master Ye!"

Many of the people who came to attend Song Wanting's birthday banquet today had also attended Old Master Song's birthday banquet.

That day, everyone had witnessed with their own eyes the magical scene that occurred when Old Master Song took the Rejuvenation Pill.

At that moment, everyone was filled with extreme longing for the Rejuvenation Pill.

Undoubtedly, everyone was wealthy; even if they weren't as rich as the Kong family, at least they all had a lifetime of endless glory and wealth.

Even Li Tailai, sitting at the same table, was so shocked he couldn't speak!

He was the richest man in Haicheng; in terms of net worth, he wasn't much worse than the Song family.

And he had already entered old age this year, clearly feeling that his body was much worse in all aspects than before.

This was something that no amount of money could recover.

So he dreamed of having the opportunity to own a Rejuvenation Pill; even if it meant giving up one-tenth of his assets, he wouldn't regret it at all.

Because he knew that besides the Rejuvenation Pill, even if he took out tens of billions of RMB, he couldn't buy back 20 years of youth.

The Macau gambling king, Old Mr. He, was truly a super-rich tycoon, but at over 90 years old, he had no way to buy back his youth.

The only thing he could do was spend hundreds of millions on hospitals every year to keep himself alive.

However, the time bought from hospitals could only delay death—living two more years, three more years, or even five more years, so what?

These five years bought with tens of billions were nothing more than an extension of his life; it couldn't change his dying physical state.

If he could make his body regress five years or even longer to a younger state, then for him, let alone tens of billions, even 10 billion would be worth it.

At times like this, what everyone saw was no longer money, but things more important than money.

Such as time, youth, health, and also lifespan.

So for them, nothing was more fascinating than the Rejuvenation Pill.

Taking a pill and becoming twenty years younger instantly—even a dying person could recover their health and prolong their life; this was simply too rare.

Even Song Wanting herself stared at this Rejuvenation Pill, so shocked she couldn't say a word!

She never dreamed that Ye Chen would give her such a valuable gift!

In her eyes, the value of this Rejuvenation Pill was worth 10 times, 20 times, or even a hundred times Kong Delong's ruby necklace!

Song Wanting's eyes were instantly blurred by tears.

She looked at Ye Chen with deep affection and choked out: "Master Ye, how could Wanting dare to accept such a valuable gift from you..."

Ye Chen smiled slightly and said indifferently: "I'm giving it to you, so just accept it. What is there to dare or not dare to accept?"

Old Master Song, on the side, was so excited he was about to faint.

After taking one Rejuvenation Pill, he had a hundred times stronger craving for the Rejuvenation Pill.

Only after possessing some things do you know how magical they are.

Old Master Song had taken one Rejuvenation Pill and felt his whole person restored to youth; since then, while enjoying the magical feeling brought by being 20 years younger, he was also looking forward to the opportunity to make his body even younger.

At the same time, he was also worried that if 20 years passed and he became that dying old man again, whether he could beg for another Rejuvenation Pill from Master Ye.

After all, it was 20 years of lifespan; anyone would go crazy for it.

And now, Master Ye had actually given another Rejuvenation Pill to his granddaughter.

If he treated his granddaughter a little better, perhaps she would be willing to give this Rejuvenation Pill to him!

Kong Delong discovered that everyone was shocked by that gray, inconspicuous pill, which made him very unhappy.

So he snorted heavily through his nose and sneered: "You surnamed Ye, where did you get such a strength-boosting pill? Just this piece of junk, and you dare to say it's more expensive than my ruby necklace?!"
