Trillionaire's Slice of Life

However, in all of Hua Country, apart from Chu Mo's place, there was simply no one else capable of pulling out twenty billion in one go to snap up this many antiques. Antiques aren't like other commodities; although they hold their value, to maximize their price, they must catch the eyes of the right buyers.

Even if the Lu family activated their connections and sold off all the antiques, they might be able to make twenty billion, but it would definitely take years, and by that time, the Lu family in Modu might not even exist anymore.

The elderly man looked straight into the eyes of the young man before him. He nodded slightly as if to agree to Chu Mo's proposal.

"Antiques can be bought again. With the Lu family's connections, as long as they get through this crisis, collecting dozens or hundreds of treasures to serve as family heirlooms in the future wouldn't be difficult. Therefore, after nodding slightly, the old man said earnestly,

"Let's do as you said, Chu Mo, twenty billion for a total of two hundred and six treasures. You can be assured, I, Lu Benqiang, guarantee with my personal integrity that not a single item of yours will be missing, nor will any inferior piece be passed off as good."

The old man's expression was solemn. Chu Mo naturally knew that the other party would surely keep his word. The name of old man Lu of Modu wasn't one to fool a junior by substituting inferior goods.

The two men relaxed considerably after the deal was struck, and at this moment, old man Lu suddenly slipped a blood-colored ring off his finger, announcing in a loud voice,

"This ring is one of the thirty-seven family heirlooms, an item of Emperor Qianlong. It's part of a set with that girl's jade stone necklace. Separated, each piece is only worth four or five billion, but together, they start at fifteen billion. Anything less than fifteen billion indicates a lack of sincerity from the buyer."

With a smiling face, the old man placed an ancient-looking ring in front of him. Considering the item to be his own now, Chu Mo didn't hesitate to pick up the blood-veined ring and play with it in his hand, a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

Meanwhile, Tang Tang had just finished washing the dishes in the kitchen. As she dried her hands with a paper towel, she walked head bowed slightly towards the living room.

However, Chu Mo noticed her trembling slightly, her entire cheeks flushed with red.

Clearly, she must have overheard the old man's last words.

Before, she thought the blood-colored jade stone around her neck could be worth one or two million, a rare treasure. But just now, in the kitchen, when she clearly heard that her jade stone was in fact one of old man Lu's family heirlooms worth four to five billion and that paired with that ring, it was worth no less than fifteen billion, she completely lost her composure.

She wanted to return the jade stone, but at the same time, she was very reluctant to do so.

But if she didn't return it, an item worth one or two million had already made her heart race with fear, and one worth four or five billion was far beyond her courage to accept. The item, when carried by old man Lu, was a family heirloom; borne by a powerless little girl like her, it was a calamity that could bring about ruin and death.

Tang Tang approached Chu Mo nervously. After a moment of hesitation, her bright starry eyes filled with struggle, she finally resolved into determination and took off the jade stone from her neck, saying cautiously, "Um, Chu senior, I had no idea this thing was so valuable. I really don't dare to accept it."

As the girl finished speaking, Chu Mo and old man Lu exchanged glances and both burst into hearty laughter.

Chu Mo looked up slightly, addressing the girl in front of him while placing the ring that once belonged to Emperor Qianlong before her, his tone playful,

"I'll give you an opportunity. If you agree to one condition of mine, not only will this jade stone be yours, but also this ring. What do you say, interested?"
