826 The Holy Lady of Divine Sovereign Order
"You again?!"
Feeling frustrated and embarrassed, Hikari Okazaka knew that he just failed to act tough in front of everyone again. Following that, they turned around and saw that Chen Xiaobei was the one that shouted just now. Initially, Hikari Okazaka thought that he was the only one in the auction hall equipped with enough resources to purchase the Ambergris. After all, not everyone could come up with such a huge amount of Spiritual Stones. If it was not for Japan and Divine Sovereign Order helping him out, it was impossible for Hikari Okazaka to afford the ten-thousand-year-old Ambergris.
To his surprise, Hikari Okazaka never thought that Chen Xiaobei was rich enough to take part in the bidding. A huge and loud slap had just landed on his face.
"Haven't you heard of this saying? Those who speaks the loudest are vulnerable to face slapping moment! I have brought a lot of Spiritual Stones with me! I'm determined to purchase this piece of ten-thousand-year-old Ambergris!" said Chen Xiaobei with a smile.
"Bastard! Stop showing off there! All you just did is add ten more Spiritual Stones to the starting bid! And you make it sound like you just added hundreds and thousands of Spiritual Stones to it!"
"Hehe… Adding ten Spiritual Stones is no different from adding hundreds and thousands of Spiritual Stones! My purpose is to bring you down! If possible, I would choose to add one Spiritual Stone instead!"
"F*ck you! Do you really think that you can bring me down?! I can squash you like a f*cking ant! Auctioneer! I would like to increase the price to 3,300 Spiritual Stones!"
From the very beginning, Hikari Okazaka had never liked Chen Xiaobei. Now that Chen Xiaobei landed another slap on his face, he could feel more anger was bubbling from the bottom from his heart. He wished he could push Chen Xiaobei to the ground, beat him senseless, and change into a pair of clogs to step on his face. Unfortunately, Hikari Okazaka was not allowed to do so on Paradise Island. The only thing he could do was beat Chen Xiaobei by purchasing the Ambergris!
"Wow! He is after all the prince of Japan! The fact that he just increased the bidding price to 3,300 Spiritual Stones is enough to prove that there is no end to his resources!"
300 Spiritual Stones were definitely not a small amount of money to most of the people that were sitting in the auction hall. Chen Xiaobei narrowed his eyes, which reflected a wicked glint. His bait tactic was a huge success. The owner of this piece of ten-thousand-year-old Ambergris belonged to Chen Xiaobei originally, so it could only be sold at the starting bid price if no one competed with Hikari Okazaka. With Chen Xiaobei joining in the bidding process, he just earned an additional 300 Spiritual Stones within the blink of an eye.
Ethically speaking, the thing that Chen Xiaobei did was definitely wrong. However, he did not feel bad doing so since Hikari Okazaka was not exactly a good person as well. Firstly, he acted way too arrogant in front of everyone. Secondly, he did tell his bodyguards to murder Chen Xiaobei because of some small conflict. Thirdly, he was the fiancé of Demonic Fox – making Chen Xiaobei feel like someone just snatched away his woman from him.
In other words, Hikari Okazaka was the kind of bastard needed to be taught with a good lesson that he could remember for life. Having the principle of treating an enemy with good gesture was equivalent to being cruel to oneself, Chen Xiaobei would not hesitate to crush him since he was no angel.
"I will increase it to 3,310!"
Shrugging, Chen Xiaobei continued to add on to the bid in a casual manner.
"Motherf*cker! You did it on purpose! I will increase it to 4,000 Spiritual Stones! I dare you to do it again!" shouted Hikari Okazaka in a furious manner.
"Damn! You sound really determined! Let me think about it!"
Deep within Chen Xiaobei's heart, Chen Xiaobei was actually elated since he just earned an extra 700 Spiritual Stones from it!
"Little Shen! Do you know much about Japan?" asked Chen Xiaobei.
At that moment, Zhang Xiaoshen was still left in a shock. After hearing Chen Xiaobei's question, he finally came back to reality.
"I know quite a bit about the current affair in Jianghu."
"Do you know why is Hikari Okazaka so determined in buying the Ambergris?"
"I'm the right person to answer this question! Firstly, he is the prince in Japan. Logically speaking, he will inherit the throne of Japan and becomes a king in the future to rule the country! And the Yinmu Binghu that sat beside him is the Holy Lady of Divine Sovereign Order! Divine Sovereign Order is the biggest religion in Japan! 90% of the population in Japan worships the so-called Divine Sovereign! And the Holy Lady is being known for the messenger being sent down by the Divine Sovereign to be worshipped by everyone. It is Japan's tradition for the king to marry the Holy Lady."
"To the government, the wedding between the prince and the Holy Lady would benefit them politically. To the people of Japan, this holy marriage would cause the blessing from the Divine Sovereign to upon them."
After listening to Zhang Xiaoshen's explanation, Chen Xiaobei was left baffled.
"What does the Ambergris has to do with the wedding between the prince and the Holy Lady?"
"Just let me finish first and you will understand the reason behind it! Their wedding can be considered as one of the biggest events that could ever happen in Japan! According to tradition, the Holy Lady must achieve True Nirvana stage before she can be married to the prince! After acquiring this piece of Ambergris, she will be able to close the gap and achieve the long-awaited True Nirvana stage. That is why Hikari Okazaka is so determined to buy it!"
"I see now! So, he will pour out everything that he has to acquire this piece of Ambergris, right?"
"You are right! Unless you can beat the amount of Spiritual Stones that he brought with him – if not, it's impossible for you to purchase it!"
"Okay. I understand now! I want to increase the bidding price to 4,010!" said Chen Xiaobei with an evil smile.
Initially, Chen Xiaobei wanted to stop right here. After listening to Zhang Xiaoshen's explanation, Chen Xiaobei realized that he could earn even more Spiritual Stones.
As expected, Hikari Okazaka had no intention to give up on the bidding. He then shouted loudly, "Where the hell did you get so many Spiritual Stones?! I'm warning you, if you increase the bid without having enough resources, you'll be blacklisted!"
To Hikari Okazaka, it was impossible for Chen Xiaobei to possess so many Spiritual Stones. In other words, he was just trying to sabotage him. This kind of behavior would not be tolerated in an auction. Once someone found out about it, the person would not be allowed to participate in the auction forever.
"Have you forgotten that I've just acquired 2,000 Spiritual Stones?"
"I…"
Hikari Okazaka felt extremely regretful for not bidding for the treasure chest when Chen Xiaobei brought that he just acquired 2,000 Spiritual Stones.
"Hikari-san! You must listen to me this time! Stop the bidding! Ask that bastard to show you 4,010 Spiritual Stones first!"
Feeling nervous, Chen Xiaobei knew that it was not possible for him to bring out so many Spiritual Stones.
"What a sly fox! How dare you challenge me?! I'm going to teach you a good lesson soon!"
