The auction had ended, but the real games were just beginning.
Inside the private lounge of the venue, a select group of high-profile guests gathered. The scent of expensive cigars and aged whiskey filled the air as servers moved between clusters of the ultra-wealthy, refilling glasses and delivering exotic delicacies.
Lin Feng? He sat back, completely relaxed, swirling a glass of red wine in his hand. The entire room was still buzzing from his insane purchases.
In a corner, a small group had already formed, whispering among themselves.
Zhao Ming (Still in disbelief):"This guy… he didn't even blink while spending hundreds of millions."
Wang Yifan (Narrowing his eyes):"It's not just about the money. The way he did it—so casual, like it meant nothing. That's power."
Luo Zixuan?Nowhere to be seen. Completely humiliated.
Meanwhile, across the room, Yan Xiaoyu and Shen Xinya were still adjusting to their insane new gifts.
Yan Xiaoyu:(glancing at her key fob, still in shock)"He actually gave me the Jesko Absolut… Who does that?"
Shen Xinya:(eyeing the business transfer document)"And I own a whole livestream company now. Just like that."
Lin Feng? He was barely paying attention.
That's when a new voice cut through the murmurs.
???: "Lin Feng… you certainly know how to make an entrance."
Heads turned.
A woman in a sleek, midnight-blue dress stepped forward.Graceful, poised, and with an aura that demanded attention.
Su Lian.
The A-list actress. The one every man in the room had fantasized about at least once.
And the owner of one of the most untouchable reputations in the industry.
She took a slow sip of her drink, her gaze locked onto Lin Feng.
Su Lian:(smiling slightly)"That necklace you won… it's quite famous."
Lin Feng tilted his head, amused.
Lin Feng:"And?"
Su Lian:(playful, yet unreadable)"I happen to like rare things."
A few guests sucked in a breath.Was she… testing him?
Shen Xinya, who had been watching, suddenly smirked.
Shen Xinya:(teasingly)"Oh? So even Su Lian is interested in Lin Feng now?"
Lin Feng took a slow sip of his wine, then met Su Lian's gaze with an easy grin.
Lin Feng:"Well, I do have a habit of giving away expensive things."
Silence.
Then—absolute chaos.
Zhao Ming:(choking on his drink)"Did—Did he just say that to Su Lian!?"
Wang Yifan:(shaking his head, chuckling)"This guy doesn't just play by different rules… he doesn't even acknowledge them."
Su Lian? She let out a low, amused laugh.
Su Lian:(smirking)"Interesting. Very interesting."
But before the conversation could continue, a server approached Lin Feng with a discreet nod.
Server:"Sir, a private message has arrived for you. The sender… prefers to remain anonymous."
Lin Feng raised an eyebrow. Now this was getting interesting.
