When they heard what Hong Dali said, the other Honorary Aristocrats were at first stunned, then they suddenly started laughing. Many slapped their thighs uncontrollably in laughter.

Hahaha! He doesn’t even know what it is and he bought it. Hong Dali is really a super prodigal!


Who says he isn’t? He himself said that he is a prodigal. I wonder how he became a gold-level Double Honorary Aristocrat. Interesting!

Hahaha, the galaxy is really too big. There are all kinds of people!
Some quick-witted person immediately winked at Hong Dali and asked him,
Dali, I have something to sell which is really losing money. Will you accept it? If you accept it, I’ll let you have it at cost price!



He was directly issuing a challenge. If it were anyone else, they might have gotten angry. But other people were other people and Hong Dali was Hong Dali, they could not be compared side by side.
Hong Dali turned his head and looked at the yellow-level Honorary Aristocrat. Then, he smiled and said,
I accept. State your price!

The prodigal really bought it!
All the Honorary Aristocrats were temporarily stunned. Then, they all broke into uproarious laughter. Their expressions were gloating. The yellow-level Honorary Aristocrat could not stop smiling.
My business is an attribute gem processing factory. The profit is really miserable. Dali, if you want it, I’ll just ask for 12 million. You can have the stock at cost price as well!

After the Honorary Aristocrat finished talking, everyone laughed.
Hahaha, Mingzhe, your gem processing factory has not earned any money in two years. How much did you buy it for? 13 million? You are even selling it at a discounted price and making a loss on it now?

Yes, yes. 13 million and you are selling it for 12 million after two years. It’s actually a pretty good deal, haha!

Aristocrat Mingzhe’s face flushed red when he heard what the others said.
People make mistakes. I made a bad investment. There is simply too much competition and no one can guarantee that they can make a profit.

Then, he looked at Hong Dali and said,
Dali, how about it? You heard them. I bought this factory at 13 million and I am selling it to you for 12 million. I’ll give you the sourcing channels as well, how about it?


Ah? Thirteen million to take it over?
Hong Dali rounded it up without a second thought.
Let’s round it up to fifteen million. Xiaoyi, sign the agreement.

Fifteen… round it up to fifteen million!
God, he was already buying a losing business and the prodigal Hong Dali still rounded up the amount! Rounded up to 15 million! This galaxy was crazy. It was changing too fast to be understood!


All the Honorary Aristocrats exclaimed in surprise.
God, did you see that? He’s really a super prodigal!

Yes, yes, this is just too impressive. I like it! I shall go back, consolidate all my losing businesses and sell them to him!

Me too, me too! Hahaha. This is going to be fun! I was just worrying that I would not be able to sell the miscellaneous unprofitable little business. He is like our lucky star! Hahaha!

Ling Xiaoyi signed the agreement with Aristocrat Mingzhe on the spot. Installments to be paid over one year, one hundred and twenty thousand each time.
After the agreement was signed, all the other Honorary Aristocrats laughed. Tang Muxin, Li Nianwei, and the other lackeys glanced at each other. They were secretly ecstatic—this bunch of morons, they let a gem processing factory fall into Hong Dali’s hands…
Hong Dali rubbed his nose—his luck was really good and nothing could stop him. He was just worried about finding enough gems to use his gems combining skill on. It turned out that someone gave him a timely gift. Brother Mingzhe, I love you!

Honestly speaking, sometimes you thought that the other party was a fool, but it turned out that you were the fool instead—in this case it was completely correct. Wahahaha!
The crowd was enthusiastic where Hong Dali was, and the Galaxy Aristocrats got curious. Jiang Qianxue knew in her heart that no matter where Hong Dali went, he was always the center of attraction. However, she, too, was curious about what was happening over there, and immediately sent a guard to inquire. A short while later, the guard ran back with a strange expression on his face.
The Galaxy Aristocrats all wanted to know what was happening.
What’s happening there? Why are they laughing?

The guard’s face was a myriad of expressions.
It’s… it’s Double Honorary Aristocrat Hong Dali. He… just bought the gem processing factory that was doing badly from Mingzhe. Young Master Mingzhe asked for 12 million but Young Master Dali… Young Master Dali…
When he got to this part, he hesitated.
The Galaxy Aristocrats asked,
What did Hong Dali do?


Young Master Dali,
the guard gulped.
Young Master Dali offered to round it up to 15 million…



After they heard the guard relate the story, everyone was stunned.
It was already a losing transaction, but not only had Hong Dali accepted it, he even offered to round it up! This… this…
After being stunned for a little while, everyone burst into uproarious laughter.

Hahahaha! Hong Dali is really interesting. He actually went through with such a deal. Wow. Hahaha!


I have seen something new today. Speaking of which, Yin Tianzong is really weird. Hong Dali’s Double Honorary Aristocrat status must have been approved by him?


This is really interesting. The advancement assessment is going to be fun to watch, haha!


That’s right, that’s right. The advancement assessment is actually really boring. However, this year I must go take a look, hahaha! Yin Tianzong’s expression will surely be very interesting.

Listening to the jokes and jeers around her, Jiang Qianxue’s face reddened, but she quickly composed herself. She stood up lightly and walked one round around the Galaxy Aristocrats. She stomped her foot down hard on everyone she walked past.
It’s not your place to jeer at our Jiang Family’s Honorary Aristocrat! Also, you must know this,
Jiang Qianxue said coldly.
Hong Dali is my experimental boyfriend. If you want to laugh at him, you should first take stock of yourself!

Experimental boyfriend!
This time the Galaxy Aristocrats were dumbstruck.


Jiang Qianxue actually declared that Hong Dali was her experimental boyfriend?!
Although the word experimental was there, their relationship was obvious—even if they were not real lovers, Jiang Qianxue treated Hong Dali like a real friend!
Who was Jiang Qianxue? She was the granddaughter of the best fighter among the five kings, Jiang Dongliu! Her talent for martial arts was also extremely high and she was likely to become an energy user who would receive a Soul Stone!
Someone like this actually said that Hong Dali was her friend? Experimental boyfriend at that?!

Qianxue,
Li Tianxing’s eyes narrowed. First, he looked at Hong Dali, then he looked at Jiang Qianxue.
you said that Hong Dali is your experimental boyfriend? With your calm and cool character, how can such a thing happen?


I am very happy with him,
Jiang Qianxue said flatly.
Although I will not have a romantic relationship with him, I definitely will not mind being his friend.

The moment Jiang Qianxue said this, the Galaxy Aristocrats immediately went silent.
It seemed things were serious this time.
Jiang Qianxue was an extremely beautiful woman and was the dream lover of many Galaxy Aristocrat youths. Numerous people had tried to get close to Jiang Qianxue without success and yet, Jiang Qianxue said she enjoyed Hong Dali’s company? Just what did Hong Dali have that would make Jiang Qianxue feel this way towards him?

Hong Dali.
Li Tianxing stood up in a huff.
It seems that it’s time I paid him a visit!




Don’t you dare!
Jiang Qianxue stood in front of Li Tianxing, blocking his way.
He belongs to the Jiang Family. It’s not your place to say or do anything.

In an instant, the temperature in the auction house dropped—literally dropped. Li Tianxing was an ice elemental energy user. When he got angry, the temperature of the air surrounding him decreased.

Humph!
No matter what, he liked Jiang Qianxue. Li Tianxing humphed vehemently and sat down. His eyes, however, were transfixed on Hong Dali, who remained unaware of the situation over here.

Hong Dali,
said Li Tianxing darky.
if the opportunity arises, I want to see what kind of abilities you have!

The Honorary Aristocrats’ overall attitudes toward Hong Dali was not very good. At this time, Tianyi and Mu Huaqing sauntered in. Tianyi look looked all over and soon spotted Hong Dali. He headed straight for him and sat down next to Hong Dali. He smiled and said,
Brother Dali, what is happening? Why is everyone laughing so hard?

Mu Huaqing scrutinized the expressions of the people around them and soon understood what was happening.
It seems that they are gloating over your misfortune.

The two of them had witnessed Hong Dali in action before—just his lackey was already so powerful, Hong Dali himself might be even stronger!
Even if they did not become very good friends with him, they at least had to maintain a friendly relationship with him. They could not afford to offend such a powerful person!
If he decided to go after them, would they be able to hold up?

Ah, it’s okay.
Hong Dali did not seem to mind at all.
It’s just a small misunderstanding, hehe.

There were tens or even hundreds of thousands of guests attending the auction at the Sauron Auction Center. Of these, at least fifty were Galaxy Aristocrats, more than forty were Honorary Aristocrats and the rest was made up of industry magnates, entertainment stars, as well as the Chiefs of major divisions who yielded a significant amount of power. A rough estimate put the amount of power the people present wielded to be equivalent to that of at least three main cities in the Silver-blue super-planet. This was a star-studded crowd.
It was another ten minutes to the start of the auction. Hong Dali was bored and kept looking around. Soon, a group of people entered from the main door of the auction room, led by a grinning man in a white cloak. It was Yin Tianzong! Next to him were three Honorary Aristocrats, one of whom was a fresh-looking young woman. She walked very close to Yin Tianzong and seemed to be telling him something.
Eh? What was up with Brother Tianzong? There did not seem to be anything special about the woman other than her looks. Why was she stuck to Yin Tianzong like a vixen? Something was up with them…
