Invincible Urban Evil Doctor

Chapter 646: Chapter 673: Do Not Harm the Harmony

The three individuals he just mentioned are Wang Wudao, Su Xiong, and the Ice and Fire Lady.

At this moment, the three of them are sitting in a row.

On the surface, it looks like they’ve formed some kind of alliance, united against external threats.

Moreover, they are all behaving quite low-key, not as ostentatious as before.

This is understandable, considering there are so many powerful people present, and they too belong to underground forces.

Compared to the legitimate families, they still lack some of that commanding presence.

Most importantly, their strength hasn’t reached the level of the top-tier families.

If they were at that level, they could go legitimate and conduct their business in the open.

Besides the three of them, Lin Xi didn’t recognize anyone else, nor was he familiar with other powerful individuals or families from Chuzhou City.

But those few, none of them seemed to be present.

Or perhaps they sent representatives, and Lin Xi just didn’t recognize them.

On stage, Shangguan Nishang resumed her usual captivating and alluring demeanor, causing quite a few men in the audience to secretly gulp.

However, no one dared to stare brazenly or show any teasing glances, given the Shangguan family’s strength and the fact that this was their territory, so nobody wanted to court trouble or dissatisfaction.

Shangguan Nishang adjusted her clothes, then looked at the audience, especially casting a few extra glances at Lin Xi, and said, "This year, the Shangguan family is once again hosting the Stone Betting Festival, so everyone knows why they’re here!"

"I must declare beforehand, whether you win or lose the bet, everyone must remain calm and not harm the harmony!"

"Otherwise, don’t blame the Shangguan family for being impolite!!!"

As she spoke up to this point, one of the two elders with white hair and youthful faces opened his eyes and scanned the audience, making everyone feel as if they were in class being warned by a teacher.

It was at this moment that Lin Xi realized the elder’s strength was probably much greater than any of the three, Wang Wudao, Su Xiong, or the Ice and Fire Lady.

Seeing the crowd’s reaction, Shangguan Nishang was very satisfied and continued, "This time the auction rules will have some differences from the last time!"

"But don’t worry; although different, it will be more thrilling and interesting."

This piqued everyone’s appetite, making them eagerly anticipate the format of this year’s auction.

Shangguan Nishang was very pleased with everyone’s eager anticipation to know the results and clapped her hands, prompting two models to bring out a tray from backstage.

On the tray, there was a head-sized object covered by a red cloth.

After it was placed on the table, Shangguan Nishang pulled off the red cloth, and a camera focused on the stone, projecting the image onto the wall.

The surface features of this stone were fully exposed.

Any big shot who came here, if not highly knowledgeable about stone betting themselves, would have an expert standing by their side to provide strategies and advice.

Shangguan Nishang did not speak any further, while the guests below the stage carefully researched and discussed.

After about ten minutes, Shangguan Nishang finally said, "I believe everyone has taken a good look, so the rule for this first round is to guess what treasure is inside the stone."

"Whoever guesses the closest will not only get the treasure but also receive ten million from everyone."

"Of course, afterward, the cost price of the stone will need to be settled with us."

At this point, Shangguan Nishang started to say, "Those participating in this stone betting, please raise your hand now!"

After ten seconds, she counted that a total of twenty-five people were participating, meaning the total amount this time reached 250 million.

Whoever wins this will definitely make a huge profit.

Shangguan Hong, beside Lin Xi, was also eagerly rubbing his hands together, but first, he had no money, and second, since this was his family’s business, if he participated, it might be mistaken as cheating.

However, he wasn’t discouraged and whispered to Lin Xi, "Brother-in-law, do you trust me?"
