The air inside the prestigious auction hall was thick with tension and excitement. High society's elite had gathered, dressed in their finest, eager to flaunt their wealth and snatch up rare treasures.
Seated in the VIP section, Lin Feng remained calm and expressionless, quietly observing the chaos of competitive bidding.
Unlike the others, he didn't need to show off. His money would do the talking.
In the row ahead, a few heirs were already whispering, barely bothering to lower their voices.
Luo Zixuan, ever the arrogant rich kid, scoffed as he nudged his friend, Zhao Ming, whose fingers tapped rhythmically against his whiskey glass.
Luo Zixuan:"See that guy over there? Thinks he's one of us just because he's sitting in VIP."
Zhao Ming:(chuckling)"Probably got in through connections. Bet he won't bid on a single thing."
Further down, Wang Yifan, heir to a billion-dollar real estate empire, smirked.
Wang Yifan:"If he does bid, it'll be on some cheap decorative item. Watch and see."
Laughter followed. Lin Feng remained unfazed. He wasn't here to talk.
He was here to shut them up.
The auctioneer's voice rang through the hall, signaling the next big-ticket item.
Auctioneer:"Ladies and gentlemen, feast your eyes on the stunning Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut! A true engineering marvel, built for both speed and elegance!"
Excited murmurs rippled through the audience.
Starting bid: 30 million!
Liu Hao (Heir to a logistics empire):"31 million."
Zhang Rui (Second-gen trust fund brat):"35 million."
Luo Zixuan:(smirking, taking a sip of his drink)"40 million."
He leaned back, fully expecting to win.
And then—
Lin Feng: "50 million."
The atmosphere shifted.
Luo Zixuan:(frowning)"55 million."
Lin Feng remained relaxed, unbothered.
Lin Feng: "70 million."
Dead silence.
Auctioneer:"Sold! To Mr. Lin Feng!"
Shock rippled through the room. But Lin Feng? He simply turned toward Yan Xiaoyu, the heiress who had received the penthouse from him earlier.
Lin Feng:"It suits you. Take it."
Her eyes widened in disbelief.
Yan Xiaoyu:"Wait… what!?"
As the staff approached for confirmation, the room fell into hushed whispers.
Then, breaking all expectations—
Staff Member:"Official notice: The Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut has been transferred to Miss Yan Xiaoyu."
The room exploded.
Zhao Ming:(staring at his drink like he misheard)"Did… did he just gift a 70-million-dollar hypercar? Just like that?"
Wang Yifan:(slowly exhaling, shaking his head)"This guy's either insane or richer than we thought."
Before the murmurs had even died down, the next item was presented.
Auctioneer:"Up next, a high-potential business opportunity! A livestream platform with a growing user base, valued at over 200 million!"
This one had the serious investors interested.
Starting bid: 100 million!
Chen Kai (Tech entrepreneur):"110 million."
Luo Zixuan:(grinning, eager to redeem himself)"150 million."
Lin Feng?
"200 million."
The bidding halted.
Auctioneer:"Sold! To Mr. Lin Feng!"
By now, the mood in the hall had completely changed. It wasn't just about the money anymore—it was about who the hell Lin Feng really was.
And then, he turned to Shen Xinya, one of the top influencers in the country.
Lin Feng:"You know how to run a business. It's yours now."
Shen Xinya:(almost choking on her drink)"…Excuse me!?"
The staff didn't even hesitate this time.
Staff Member:"Official notice: The livestream company has been transferred to Miss Shen Xinya."
Chaos. Pure chaos.
Luo Zixuan:(face pale, voice cracking)"That's… a 200-million-dollar company!"
Wang Yifan:(leaning forward, whispering to himself)"No one throws money around like this. Not unless they're operating on a whole different level."
At this point, some people were already on their phones, frantically trying to look up Lin Feng's background.
By now, all eyes were locked onto one person.
So when the auctioneer introduced the next item, a rare diamond necklace with a history dating back centuries, the anticipation was thick.
Xu Qianqian (Heiress to a luxury brand):"If Su Lian finds out someone owns this, she's going to want it."
Billionaire Wife:"That necklace is practically legendary in certain circles."
Lin Feng smirked.
Starting bid: 20 million!
Wealthy Collector:"30 million."
Luo Zixuan:(clenching his jaw, trying one last time)"40 million."
Lin Feng? Effortless.
"100 million."
"Sold to Mr. Lin Feng!"
At this point, no one even reacted with shock anymore.
It wasn't that they were used to it—they just had no words left.
Luo Zixuan?Disappeared from the hall, completely humiliated.
Zhao Ming?Silent, still trying to comprehend what just happened.
The other heirs?Processing the fact that tonight, they had all been completely overshadowed.
Zhao Ming:(muttering)"In one night, he bought a hypercar, a company, and a diamond necklace—and just gave them away like gifts."
Wang Yifan:(sipping his drink slowly, gaze unreadable)"Forget being rich. This guy is something else."
Even some older, seasoned billionaires were now looking at Lin Feng with serious curiosity.
Meanwhile, as Lin Feng leaned back, his phone vibrated softly.
[System Alert: High-value transactions completed. Exclusive rewards unlocked.]
Taking a sip of his wine, Lin Feng smirked.
Tonight? Just the beginning.
