Chapter 742: Fifty Million
It might fetch a billion at the auction.
However, that was just Su Chen venting.
Naturally, he wouldn't really do that.
He had never cared much for money.
Back when he was on numerous missions,
his own private stash was substantial.
It amounted to a hundred billion!
Unfortunately, all of it was under his sister-in-law's control, as if she were his wife keeping it.
Now, that became a problem.
His sister-in-law betrayed him, and he was left penniless.
But more than the money, Su Chen was concerned about why his sister-in-law betrayed Reverse Dragon.
Even helping Asura to hunt down the Reverse Dragon Group.
Those were her own brothers and sisters.
His thoughts returned to the auction house.
Indeed, the bidding had already reached 37 million.
It wasn't far from breaking 40 million.
Minako Ozawa could already foresee her tragic fate.
Just thinking of that miserable life.
Minako Ozawa wished she could die right then and there.
Unfortunately,
being in the inn's hands,
she didn't even have the right to die.
Being such a hot commodity,
the inn of course would protect her well.
Measures had been taken early to prevent her from any possible suicide.
She could only stare blankly at the invisible audience below.
Watching those men shout out one unbelievable price after another, Minako Ozawa felt even more desperate.
Finally, the price broke 40 million.
The voices bidding began to lessen.
After all, although it could be returned to the inn later,
if something happened to Minako Ozawa,
it would all be for nothing.
To take her back, they had to be wary she might not commit suicide.
So, after reaching this price, many gave up.
After all, coughing up 40 million all at once,
was really painful.
Especially for a woman.
During this process, Su Chen never bid.
Seeing Su Chen seemed to have given up,
Catherine breathed a sigh of relief.
She was really afraid that Su Chen would continue to raise the price.
If it were the old Buddha Beads, she wouldn't have thought so much.
But Su Chen was different.
He was a man she cared about.
Unknowingly,
Catherine had started making plans for Su Chen.
"50 million!"
Just when everyone thought it couldn't go any higher, another bid came in.
It was a direct increase of ten million.
It was absolutely shocking.
It made those who were thinking of last-minute sniping give up completely.
Then it was just watching to see if that rhythm-setting person would continue to bid.
"50 million for the first time, 50 million for the second time, any further bids!" the auctioneer couldn't help but look towards that person.
He felt his heart might stop.
Originally, the inn planned to auction Minako Ozawa for between 3 to 4 million.
They never expected it to reach more than ten times that.
Just in commission, he made over 4 million.
He struck it rich.
Of course, the reason this scenario occurred was mainly because Buddha Beads showed up.
If Buddha Beads hadn't been there, or had not bid,
perhaps, Minako Ozawa could only have been auctioned for around 5 million.
"Buddha Beads, since you love your woman so much, I will give you face and leave her to you," that person seemed to have given up.
But while he said he was giving face to Buddha Beads,
it was actually a slap in the face.
Moreover, if it weren't for him driving the bidding, it would have only taken a few hundred thousand for Buddha Beads to get Minako Ozawa back.
No one would know that Lord Buddha was present.
Su Chen was alright, after all, he was not the previous Lord Buddha.
But, he spent 50 million all at once.
The cost was somewhat too great.
Catherine sighed.
She did not say much more.
Since things had already developed to this stage.
There was no point in saying anything else.
Previously, dismissing the women from the estate cost 50 million, and now another 50 million was spent.
That is to say, in less than a week, Su Chen actually spent a billion.
And it was all spent on women...
It was unknown how those above would deal with this matter.
"Congratulations to this gentleman, for acquiring this item," the host announced, directing his words towards Su Chen.
Although he knew that Su Chen was Lord Buddha, he had to pretend not to know.
After all, inns may hold significant clout.
However, they would not want to genuinely fall out with Lord Buddha.
They dared to auction the woman of Lord Buddha.
Because they knew Lord Buddha had too many women.
Wouldn't tear their faces over one woman.
Who could have known.
Lord Buddha actually showed up.
And bid a high price of 50 million.
Auction over.
Su Chen left through a special passage.
No one knew where he would go.
The inn, had to keep Su Chen's secret.
In this way.
As long as Lord Buddha did not admit himself.
Then, it couldn't be confirmed that the person who spent 50 million to buy Minako Ozawa was him.
Su Chen and Catherine were escorted to an incredibly luxurious room.
From this, one could see the inn's power.
They conduct low-end business.
Yet they have elevated themselves so impressively.
Clearly, their scale seems quite formidable.
However, there was no direct conflict between Su Chen and the inn.
He didn't need to make enemies with the inn.
Though he spent 50 million to buy a woman who originally belonged to him.
That money wasn't his.
He wasn't distressed by spending it.
After waiting for about ten minutes or so.
Minako Ozawa was brought over.
After Minako Ozawa was brought over, she knelt before Su Chen with a thump.
"Lord Buddha, I was wrong, please don't torment me, give me a quick end!" Minako Ozawa knew Lord Buddha spent such a huge price to auction her back.
Obviously, he wouldn't let her die easily.
She would likely suffer countless inhumane tortures before Lord Buddha would kill her.
Death was actually not the most terrifying thing.
The most terrifying thing was… a fate worse than death.
Lord Buddha's character, Minako Ozawa knew all too well.
It was extremely cruel.
"Minako…" Catherine looked at Minako Ozawa who kept kowtowing towards Su Chen, and called out to her.
Who would have known, Minako Ozawa directly crawled on her knees to Catherine and hugged her legs.
"Catherine, for the sake of our sisterhood, please kill me!"
Now, Minako Ozawa only wished for a swift death.
Catherine shook her head and said, "Take a good look at who he is?"
Hearing Catherine's words, Minako Ozawa then looked towards Su Chen.
She widened her eyes in shock.
"You… Lord Buddha didn't kill you?" Minako Ozawa looked at Su Chen in surprise.
Lord Buddha knew about hers and Su Chen's affair.
It couldn't be possible that everything was still fine.
"From now on, there's no Lord Buddha," Catherine said lightly.
Minako Ozawa seemed a bit confused by Catherine's words.
"He is Lord Buddha." Catherine also felt her expression wasn't very clear, so she repeated.
He is Lord Buddha!
Minako Ozawa looked at Su Chen in sheer shock.
This was impossible!
Suddenly, her gaze fell on the Buddha Beads on Su Chen's wrist.
