Feng Junzi stood out in this grand hall, or rather, he was an eyesore. All the male guests attending the banquet were dressed in dark-colored Western suits, with snow-white shirts and black ties, almost as if they were wearing wigs, except for Feng Junzi. He too wore a suit, but it was a traditional Eastern-style garment with a black silk fabric, adorned with two crimson dragon and cloud embroidery on either side of the chest. However, at this moment, everyone's attention was focused on the auction stage, and no one noticed him.

  Feng Junzi saw Bai Shaofei turn his head, smiled and nodded at him as a greeting, then raised the 250 sign to bid. The price increase of this cross was obviously higher than everything sold earlier, after bidding exceeded 20,000, Feng Junzi sighed and put down the sign. Xiao Bai asked in a low voice: "Mr. Feng, you're here too?"

  Feng Junzi: "Yes, come taste the wine."

  Bai Shaofeng: "Why isn't Mr. Feng holding up his sign?"

  "Too expensive, can't afford it! Even if I mortgage all my private savings, it's still not enough!"

  "Then you're still following the price increase, just now your brand was raised the most enthusiastically."

  Feng Junzi: "If no one wanted to fight for this thing, I might have even bought it for a maximum of 10,000 yuan. Charity auctions are just games for the rich, and generally, the bidding price isn't that high. No matter what the item is, as long as someone wants to fight for it, they can sell it for a golden price."

  Feng Junzi's judgment was correct, many people held up their signs, and the auctioneer's price rose like a roll call. At first, some people didn't want to buy this thing, but seeing so many big shots bidding, they thought it might be something extraordinary, and they also started holding up their signs. After all, most of the people here were wealthy. A cross with an initial price of only 8,000 yuan rose in price all the way to over 200,000 yuan, at which point the number of bidders gradually decreased.

  Xiaobai also noticed that, among the entrepreneurs from the AV Islands, Takeo Takeda and Aphthita later raised their signs the most times. Both of them were eager to buy this cross. An ordinary cross, a gold chain with pure silver and a ruby, how could it cause a bidding war? Xiaobai can sense people's hearts, and those two saw the cross as something absolutely extraordinary, like seeing a precious treasure.

  "Mr. Feng, you are knowledgeable and experienced, what's special about this cross?" Xiaobai asked quietly, taking a step back.

  Feng Junzi narrowed his eyes and replied, "The legendary Ten Character Sword that weeps tears, I'm not sure about it either. But looking at all the experts rushing to grab it, it shouldn't be wrong. I don't know which idiot got their hands on it without recognizing its value and actually donated it for auction."

  "What is this thing called 'Tears of the Cross Sword'?" Luo Xiao heard the conversation between Xiao Bai and Feng Junzi, and curiously asked.

  Feng Junzi: "A legendary story, this Ten-Character Sword has been baptized by the glory of God and still bears a drop of blood shed by the Son of God during his suffering."

  "Really?"

  Feng Junzi: "Fake! I just made up a story to tease you two kids earlier, but that cross really has a secret."

  "What's the way?"

  Feng Junzi: "Do you understand the treasure? I think that cross is a foreign treasure, especially the red gemstone in the middle. It's not an ordinary ruby, but the essence of the ruby mine - Red Crystal Marrow! Our country doesn't produce this, and I've never seen it before, nor did I dare to confirm, but I can tell there's something special about it."

  They were talking when the other side was still bidding, "Tears of the Cross Sword" had already exceeded 400,000, shocking the whole audience. The bidders were left with only Aphrodite and that Musou Tarou. At this time, Luo Xuan suddenly turned his head and raised the number 008 sign in his hand, shouting in a crisp and tender female voice: "I bid 1 million!"

  The whole room was abuzz with whispers, even the host was stunned. Gu Ying furrowed her brow, she was Luo Xue's etiquette teacher, and didn't expect Luo Xue to have such an out-of-place behavior. But when everyone turned their gaze this way, they saw that the one holding the sign was a lovely and innocent little girl, and instead felt that her purity made it cute, so the sudden shout wasn't as rude after all. After all, this was a charity auction.

  Aphrodite turned her head to look over here, but at a glance she saw Feng Junzi! Her hand went limp and the sign almost fell to the ground, and she was stiff like a stone statue. Twenty-two years had passed, and the man at the wine party was no longer the young man of that year, but even if Feng Junzi turned to ashes, Aphrodite could still recognize him. Twenty-two years ago, on the Atlantic Ocean, it was the greatest shame of a god sword knight's life. She still remembered Feng Junzi's last sentence: "Next time I see you, be careful or I'll rape you!"

  And Feng Junzi seemed to have sensed something, looked up and saw Aphrodite's dazed eyes. He found it strange that this woman was staring at him like that? But still expressionless, he nodded at her with a smile, then continued speaking with his head down: "Miss Luo, you're really rich! And your luck isn't bad either...... That cross, actually costs more than 10 million!"

  Aphrodite looked at Feng Junzi, her expression as if she had seen a devil from hell, standing stupidly and forgetting to continue bidding. The wealthy businessman from the AV islands asked someone next to him a question and also put down his sign, no longer bidding. The host shouted: "Miss Luo Xue, one million, one million once, one million twice, one million three times, sold!... Thank you Miss Luo Xue for generously donating to charity."

  At this time, Xiao Bai asked Luo Xue: "Miss Luo, why did you offer such a high price at once? This is not your habit."

  Luoxiao smiled innocently: "What I want to buy is not this thing, but a symbol. My dad told me that I must leave a deep impression on everyone in this occasion, so I thought of this method." Xiaobai finally understood why Luoxiao did it. She deliberately made this stunning move at the climax of the charity auction to make everyone remember her as the young heir of the Heluo Group, and also to make her first official appearance among the celebrities. This was the task given by Luoshuihan. This little girl is innocent but also very clever, she just doesn't take money seriously!

  At this time, Gu Ying noticed Aphrodite's abnormality, quietly stretched out her hand to push her and asked: "Teacher Weina, what's wrong with you? You look so strange, who did you see?"

  Aphrodite's body shook slightly, muttering to herself: "It's him!"

  "Who is he?"

  Aphrodite: "Satan."

  When Gu Ying pushed Aphtheana, several people on this side also noticed and looked over. Hearing Aphtheana's strange words, Luo Xiao curiously asked: "Ana sister, who is the fool?"

  The young master took two steps forward, smiling and said: "He is not the god I believe in, so I call him a big fool, a very big fool... Miss Aphrodite, am I right? It's an honor to meet you for the first time!" As he spoke, he politely extended his right hand to Aphrodite.

  ……

  A charity auction was being held on the second floor of the Xiangxieli Hotel when a strangely dressed man walked into the lobby on the first floor. He wore leggings, hemp shoes, and a gray monk's robe with a yellow cloth bag slung over his shoulder. In his twenties, he had a shaved head with twelve conspicuous scars on top. To be exact, his attire wasn't strange at all - it was standard Buddhist monk garb - but in the midst of the formally dressed crowd in the five-star hotel lobby, he looked rather out of place.

  Although the Champs-élysées appeared to be operating normally on the surface, it had been heavily guarded in secret due to the "Dust Assassin" incident. As soon as this special person was spotted, plainclothesmen immediately stepped forward to interrogate: "May I ask what you do?"

  The monk smiled: "Can't you see I'm a monk? I've come to beg for alms."

  "Sorry, please leave quickly, this is a five-star hotel."

  "Is a five-star hotel not a hotel? I can go to the Buddha's paradise, but I'm not allowed in this small shop of yours? Hmm? No, no, it's not your hotel either. You don't look like you own it. Don't cheat me, monk."

  The plainclothes policeman was getting impatient: "There's an important activity here, please leave!"

  The monk's voice grew louder: "Since you're open for business and so many people have come in, why are you asking me to leave?"

  The noise also attracted the hotel's security guards, who came over and asked in uniform: "Excuse me, sir, are you going to stay at our hotel?"

  The monk shook his head: "I'm not staying at the hotel, I won't be begging for alms either, can I just use the restroom? You can invite foreign monks to chant scriptures, but you won't let a Chinese monk take a leak? ... Don't lie to me and say it's not allowed, although I'm a monk, I still have some knowledge, the municipal government has regulations, five-star hotels are open to the public, I have the right to use the restroom!"

  He bumped into a troublesome monk, and the plainclothes and security guards couldn't do anything about it. They could only point to the direction of the restroom behind the lobby and let him go. The monk strode towards the men's restroom, and the plainclothes officer gave a signal with his eyes. Two more plainclothes officers followed the monk into the restroom. This monk really came in to pee, finished using the toilet, washed his hands, adjusted his robes, and walked out of the Shangri-La Hotel with a carefree air.

  There were already security personnel in the hotel's monitoring room who had seen the monk on the screen, and their sensitive nerves immediately tightened. They picked up the intercom and shouted: "A monk has just walked out of the Shangxi Temple gate, pay attention to surveillance!"

  The monk happened to walk out of the hotel's revolving door and seemed to have heard this sentence, muttering to himself: "What kind of world is this? Is it not okay to shave one's head? Even going to the toilet requires surveillance?"

  In the monitoring room, the commander's intercom came back with an answer: "It seems that a monk walked out of Xiangxi Temple, but disappeared in a flash!"

  "What's with your gaze? How are you monitoring?! All units be aware, must pay attention to a mysterious bald man and a monk."
