Chapter 677: Chapter 677: There Really Are a Lot of Acquaintances
As soon as they entered the Third District, Shao Ming became somewhat nervous, not because he was afraid, but because only after entering the Third District did he realize that it was a gathering spot for gambling stone experts from all over the country and the world. The place was filled with significant figures from every corner, all those who were anyone in this circle could now be seen here at a glance.
And each of them had an extraordinary net worth.
In short, if a stone were to fall from the sky, it could easily hit several of the wealthiest tycoons.
Given the renown of such a grand event, any small incident would spread like wildfire, so how could these people not respond to the slightest rustle?
After all, it was certain that major revelations would occur at this kind of auction.
Risks and riches went hand in hand.
Bai Xiao caught sight of Shang Kaiwen and Liu Chuanfeng immediately, clearly, Shang Kaiwen also saw her standing at the entrance since they were the last ones to come in! It somehow made them stand out, not just to Shang Kaiwen but to everyone! All eyes drifted towards them, sizing them up.
The look in Shang Kaiwen’s eyes harbored ill intentions, Bai Xiao had yet to figure out the meaning behind Shang Kaiwen’s gaze when she spotted another acquaintance. In the distance, An Zhiyuan and that same provocatively sexy woman from the other day were standing arm in arm in front of a stone, his gaze fixed on her, utterly unshaken.
Bai Xiao shamelessly scrutinized the woman, indeed the same one from that day. Although she hadn’t paid much attention to the woman then, her memory was clear: long wavy hair, a seductive figure, sexy looks, plus her outfit now, she truly resembled a perfect mistress.
Today, An Zhiyuan wore a suit, which he normally did, and he looked really good in it—handsome and distinguished, tall with broad shoulders and narrow hips, accentuating his sculpted, handsome features.
The two stood in a close pose, and now she finally understood the meaning behind Shang Kaiwen’s gaze. Probably only Shang Kaiwen here knew them, she was certain! An Zhiyuan must be on a mission! Otherwise, he wouldn’t have neglected to give her even a glance after entering, even if his looks were so cold when he did.
"See someone you know?" Baldy asked, noticing that Bai Xiao wasn’t moving.
"What do you think, when someone invites you warmly, aren’t they an acquaintance?" Bai Xiao replied with a light smile, watching Liu Chuanfeng. 𝘯𝘰𝑣𝘱𝑢𝘣.𝑐𝑜𝑚
Shang Kaiwen walked slowly towards them, arm in arm with Liu Chuanfeng, "Bai Xiao! Didn’t expect you to really show up!"
It wasn’t surprise, it was schadenfreude.
"I really didn’t know, when did you and An..."
"Aren’t you here to gamble on stones? Or did you come to talk big?" Bai Xiao challenged, looking at Liu Chuanfeng.
As expected, Liu Chuanfeng became enraged—no one had ever spoken to him like this before, Bai Xiao was set on bankrupting herself.
"Fine then, I just fear you won’t know how you end up dead!"
His tone was disdainful, as if he were looking at an ant.
"Who dies is still uncertain, as everyone knows, my luck isn’t too bad today."
Liu Chuanfeng gritted his teeth in anger, he hadn’t expected this woman to actually make her way in here. In such a short time, twenty million had been credited, as people had been constantly updating him.
Such a worthless stone had revealed an extraordinary Glass-type; the gods truly were blind.
"Fine, I really want to see how long your luck will last. Gambling on stones isn’t something you can win just by luck, many have gambled away even their pants."
"Did you come here to spout nonsense? I rely on luck if I want to, I enjoy it, what’s it to you?"
Everyone was dumbfounded; they didn’t know it could be done this way.
