One hundred million dollars! Andy Wu's voice echoed throughout the auction house. His voice lingered on the house and shocked the entire audience. Suddenly, there was a complete silence in the large venue. All the people here were in a dead silence. Countless gazes instantly concentrated on Box number one. All the people were shocked and curious about who was the big name that offered 100 million dollars. Including Jenny Xia, she was also shocked by the sudden 100 million dollars from Andy Wu. Immediately, she switched off Andy Wu's microphone and said anxiously, "Are you crazy? What do you want?" Andy Wu said seriously, "Didn't I say, I'm going to send you this necklace." Jenny Xia said in a panic, "Send what? I don't want it. Do you know what a hundred-million is? Do you have that much money in your bank account? Do you know what would happen if you can't pay for it? Why are you offering the price?" The more Jenny spoke, the more anxious she became, so anxious that she was about to cry, she's really panicked and scared. Andy Wu was also surprised by Jenny's reaction, today he brought Jenny here because he wanted to reveal a little bit of his real capital to Jenny, he wanted to slowly uncover himself step by step, and finally let Jenny fully accept his true identity. However, Andy did not expect that only a hundred-million dollar would make Jenny already reacted so violent, in deed he overestimated Jenny's ability to accept his real identity. However, he could only explain to Jenny, "Don't worry, Heart of the Guardian Angel itself is worth more than 100-million dollar, there must be someone else to offer a higher price." Sure enough, when Andy finished speaking, Rong Jin over there had already offered a price: "One hundred and ten million dollar." Rong Jin had been around in the society for years, he has good discernment, so he could certainly tell that this Heart of the Guardian Angel was worth over a hundred-million dollar. He wasn't short of money, more importantly, he really wanted the necklace. Hearing that someone had raised the price, Jenny was finally relieved, however, she didn't relieve completely. She immediately gave another stern warning to Andy, "You mustn't offer a price anymore, or I'll be angry and I mean it." Seeing that Jenny was so serious, Andy didn't want to disobey her, so he could only say yes. As soon as Rong Jin added the price, the silent house immediately boiled over again, and the hearts of everyone surged. The kind of auction that worth over a hundred-million dollar was rare in the entire Jiangzhou City, but this time, people were lucky enough to meet such an event, so everyone was really surged, and almost everyone became dynamic to excitedly appreciate this rare war. "One hundred and twenty million." The voice, which came from Box number six, was as if intended to oppose Rong Jin and had to fight against him. Once Rong Jin offered the price, he raised it immediately. "One hundred and thirty million." Rong Jin continued. "One hundred and forty million." The men in Box six added the price again, he just not to be outdone. Rong Jin has worked for so many years and saved a lot of money, to him, money was not more important than life. Anyway, money was something that could not be brought into the grave, so he enjoyed it if he could and enjoyed it while he's alive. The most important thing was to be happy, he is very satisfied with this necklace, he made up his mind to give this to his wife as a gift, he must take it. "One hundred and fifty million." Rong Jin sulked and continued to added. The war was getting intense. People on the auction hall were getting excited. "Two hundred million." Just when everyone thought that Box Six was going to offer another price, all of a sudden, a masked man who was sitting in an ordinary seat offered 200 million out of the blue. In the auction house, some malicious competition often existed, and even some contradictions would appear in the end, so, in the auction hall, many people would wear masks to hide their identity, which's in line with the rules. There were, of course, some people worked in the auction house, because they have to make sure that the items being bid wouldn't lose money, so they would offer the price at the right time, and they were called capper. At this moment, the masked man who offered $200 million was an insider of the auction house. However, he wasn't a capper as he wasn't here to raise the price, he was here for the necklace, just because Andy had offered a price. Just now, Andy offered a hundred million, so the general manager of the Wolong Mountain Resort immediately knew that Andy wanted this Heart of the Guardian Angel. Now that Andy wanted it, the general manager must guarantee that this necklace would be delivered to Andy no matter what. Wolong Mountain Resort has branches all over the country, and each branch has a general manager, their priority was that if their resort has a person who passed the special passage with facial recognition showed up, they have to put in their best efforts to entertain that person and meet all the requirements as much as possible. And today, for the first time ever, Wolong Mountain Resort in Jiangzhou City welcomed its first guest from the special passage, which apparently shook the entire Wolong Mountain Resort Group. On the surface, today's Wolong Mountain Resort was more or less the same as usual, but in reality, all the staff in Wolong Mountain Resort were nearly in a state of emergency. The general manager, in particular, was as if treading on thin ice and he was about to scared to death. The big boss of Wolong Mountain Resort was already on his way to Jiangzhou City, if there's any mistake on his resort, he would be screwed up. So, today's general manager was concentrated on Andy without any dead ends. Whatever Andy needs, the general manager must satisfy him. The auction hall, once again, was in uproar. A person who sit in the ordinary seat offered 200 million, this was a miracle, everyone was deeply shocked, people immediately started to discuss one after another. "What's going on, people in the regular seats offering 200 million?" "Whoever is sitting here can't be a big figure, could it be a capper?" "It's possible, otherwise who would have offered two hundred million for a necklace here?" "Not necessarily, maybe it was some powerful man who called someone else to come and bid, he didn't show up himself." All kinds of comments came out, and everyone was really surprised and puzzled by this event. Even the bigwigs in the boxes were shocked by the offer. They were remained silent. Rong Jin in the box number eight also became irritated, when he was having the meal, he was pissed off by Andy and became extremely unhappy, he did not think that now at the auction, he encountered a rascal again. "Two hundred million at a time." The auctioneer saw that no one had raised the price, he had to speak again. People in the boxes still silent. "Two hundred million twice." The auctioneer continued. "Two hundred and ten million." There was silence for a long time, but Rong Jin finally spoke, and to be honest, two hundred million dollars was a large amount of money for him. But there's no way, he's not the one who would concede easily, even if the masked man was a capper, he'll accept it. "Three hundred million." The masked man offered again, decisively and without delay. The general manager of Wolong Mountain Resort had given a strictest order that this necklace mustn't fall into the hands of an outsider. Three hundred million dollar for a necklace, it's going to shake the whole city. People at the hall felt their souls had been shaken. The people who were able to enter the auction at the resort were definitely not ordinary people, but the a 300-million necklace was still beyond the imagination of them. At the same time, everyone was determined that this masked man was not a capper. If he were a capper, he'd never offer such a high price, because he would stop people from offering higher prices. It's true that no one would dare to raise the price again even in such a large venue. A veteran as Rong Jin also beat a retreat, it's not that he can't take out 300 million, it's just that this deal was too worthless and completely unnecessary. Eventually, Heart of the Guardian Angel, sold for $300 million, was auctioned off. As for who won the necklace, who the masked man was, or rather, who the big man behind him was, people didn't know. The auction was disbanded and there was much speculation as to what kind of a mystery man had bought a necklace for $300 million. Even Jenny was full of amazement and sighed, "My God, 300 million, it's really unimaginable that this necklace worth 300 million, who is so lucky to wear the 300-million necklace on her neck?" Her tone, full of yearning and longing, was as if that lucky person was a goddess far away in Heaven. Only Andy knew that this goddess of luck in her mouth was herself. Andy knew very well that the person who had auctioned off this necklace must be someone inside the auction house, which meant that this Heart of the Guardian Angel would eventually be delivered to him. He was so pleased to see that Jenny liked this necklace so much that he was sure that it must be the best gift for Jenny. The auction ended and some people left Wolong Mountain Resort to go home, while others chose to stay here for the night. Wolong Mountain Resort was large, and it has a building to provide accommodation specially. This building, called the Wolong Building. The building combined elements of Western modern architecture and Chinese ancient architecture, being both classical and beautiful, modern and majestic, looked traditional but also fashionable. The building was similar to a pyramid, the higher floors have smaller areas and less rooms. The top floor has only one room, called the Heaven Room. Wolong Building owned 21 floors, and in line with the rules, the people who stay in the Wolong Building were divided according to the VIP card level, silver card could stay in 1st to 5th floor, gold card in 6th to 10th floor, platinum card in 11th to 15th floor, diamond card in 16th to 20th floor. Generally speaking, a person who can stay in the 20th floor could be a big name with top social status. However, since the opening of Wolong Mountain Resort, no one has ever stayed in the Heaven room of the 21th floor, not a single one, as if this room were an empty space. "Come on, let's go to accommodate at the Wolong Building." After exiting the auction venue, Andy said to Jenny. Jenny said hastily, "No need, the accommodation here is so expensive, don't waste this money." Although she knew that Andy had some money, Jenny didn't want to waste it like that. Knowing that Jenny didn't want to waste money, Andy explained, "It's fine, it's a gift for the lucky audience, we can stay there for free." Upon hearing this, Jenny immediately rejoiced, "Really?" Andy nodded, and the two strolled away. Just then, the Heaven room in the Wolong Building lighted. The Heaven room has no walls, only transparent glasses on all four sides. As long as lights were on, it looked like a huge shining night shining pearl hangs at the top of the Wolong Tower, hanging at the top of the Wolong Building, illuminating the whole resort. The Heaven room, for the first time since the resort opened, lit up. That's to say, the Heaven room were occupied by someone. The "Night Shining Pearl" lit up the entire night sky and also shook the entire resort. At once, almost all the guests of the resort ran out of the Wolong Building to watch this grand scene. "Grandpa, it's just one person living in the Heaven room, is it strange? Why is everyone so excited to gather here?" Next to the Wolong Building, at a teahouse there was a seventeen-year-old girl with a lollipop in her mouth, seeing the restless crowd in front of the Wolong Building, she could not help but asked curiously. Across from the little girl, sat an old man with white hair. The white-haired old man was a patriarchal figure who had seen great turbulence and changes, but at this moment, his was also quite excited. Hearing his granddaughter's question, he couldn't help but sighed, "In all branches of Wolong Mountain Resort, the Heaven rooms have never been occupied by someone, tonight the Heaven room turned on lights, definitely ready to be occupied. Crouching dragon, it looks like tonight, the real dragon is going to show up. Qing, take a good look, who would live in this room, it must be someone our who family has to revere." The crowd outside was still growing, and countless eyes were fixed on the Heaven Room on the top floor. Everyone wanted to know exactly which big name would stay in the Heaven room. Among everyone's attention, Andy Wu and Jenny, riding an exclusive cable car that drove towards the Heaven room, slowly drifted away ...
