Family Head of the Jiangnan Long family, Long Zhentian, suddenly curled his lips upward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned to Li Xiaoyao, the Family Head of the Jiangnan Li family, beside him and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If I’m not mistaken, this should be the lowest level of the Centurion Black Gold Card, not the one issued by the American Express Company.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This card can only enjoy certain privileges within our Hua Country and is not valid for worldwide use.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Hua Country, anyone with a bit of influence can get one with just a bit of money; it’s simply not on the same level as American Express’s Centurion!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Xiaoyao, with a row of clean white teeth, slightly narrowed his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Xiaoyao had met Chu Mo because of the Saudi Prince, and remembered him as a young and accomplished gentleman from Zhongzhou who was steady and elegant, not a flamboyant playboy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Similarly, enticing the Lin family of Zhongzhou to get involved and to test Chu Mo had been Li Xiaoyao’s idea!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Family Head of the Jiangnan Li family stared straight at the young man on the stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a slight shake of his head, his voice sounded a bit odd:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It can’t be that simple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mister Chu of Zhongzhou is someone who casually wagers billions and tens of billions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since he’s put the Centurion at a hundred billion asking price, there must be a hidden catch!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Li Xiaoyao finished speaking, Liu Peng, the Family Head of the Zhongzhou Liu family beside him, suddenly laughed and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In my view, we could easily drown this unsupported kid with a mere spit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You insist on being overly cautious and complicating matters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All eight major families are gathered here to deal with a junior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If that gets out, where would we put our faces as the eight major families?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Peng enjoyed all kinds of horse racing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During a recent charity event hosted by the Long family, a finely picked Arabian horse from the Saudi King was meant to be his, but it was intercepted by Chu Mo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This made the Family Head of the Zhongzhou Liu family extremely upset, so he had always advocated for direct action against Chu Mo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the bigwigs quietly discussed, Lin Youzhi, the Family Head of the Lin family whose jewelry store was at stake, became restless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He leaned forward slightly and then, with a solemn face, spoke to the moguls:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You might not be aware, but there’s a story behind the Centurion bank card in Chu Mo’s hands!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At these words, all the Family Heads of the eight major families turned their attention to Lin Youzhi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, speaking seriously, Lin Youzhi said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This happened in Zhongzhou, so it’s widely known there, but you might not have heard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Six months ago, at an auction, there was some friction between Chu Mo and the Wu family of Zhongzhou.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young master Wu Yaowen from the Wu family had bid several times against Chu Mo, driving the auction prices of a few pieces of jewelry very high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, Mister Chu retaliated by successfully bidding twenty-two billion for a plot of land the Wu family was eyeing!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Long Zhentian, the Family Head of the Long family, rarely sat up straight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He chuckled and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Such a childish temperament indeed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A piece of land worth over two hundred billion, with no prior planning or arrangement, directly taken— it must have been difficult to handle afterward!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the Family Heads of the eight major families showed mocking smiles, but Lin Youzhi earnestly continued:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, that wasn’t the case.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right at that auction, Mister Chu resold the land for two hundred billion to the Wu family’s sworn enemy!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In merely ten minutes, he made a deal in and out, losing twenty billion just like that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, he declared that he would invest a hundred billion specifically to thwart the Wu family!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Wu family, having no choice, was forced to sever ties with the young master Wu to settle the matter!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crux of the story is that the bank card once held a complete hundred billion in funds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, Mister Chu’s wager is not just a Centurion bank card— a card on its own could not possibly be worth a hundred billion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, if you include the funds in the bank card, then it’s worth far more than a hundred billion!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the bet was correct, the return could be tenfold the investment!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That is the real intention of Mister Chu.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The several magnates who were mocking earlier immediately changed their expressions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, as they refocused on that Centurion bank card, a different kind of gleam shone in their eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A bank card with a hundred billion in funds— such an event, even for them as the heads of the eight major families, represented a boldness they lacked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each of the eight families had nearly a trillion in assets, but most of that was tied up in fixed assets and various stocks and shares.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The actual cash they had wasn’t as much as one might imagine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They could easily muster a few tens of billions, and even a hundred billion if they tried, but as for a thousand billion in liquid funds, unless they sold off shares and companies, even with their net worth, they couldn’t produce that much cash at a moment’s notice!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet now, an opportunity had presented itself: the chance to obtain a full hundred billion by investing just ten billion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a tenfold leverage, it was enough to drive anyone mad!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the same investment carried immense risks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The amount in that Centurion bank card might indeed be a hundred billion, but it could also be only fifty billion, or even just ten billion, and just as likely, it might be completely empty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If that were the case, the hundred billion would just vanish into thin air!\u003C\u002Fp>",1001,"2026-05-29T15:34:12.861Z","2026-06-01T04:29:37.635Z",1,"novelbin.me","a1fb67406a7100cc16f3c3460e876ef8b56b4c562b1a77e08f62dadd8593283a","trillionaire-s-slice-of-life-chapter-493","trillionaire-s-slice-of-life-chapter-491",1263,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ftrillionaire-s-slice-of-life-cover.jpg"]
