Chapter 823: Damien's Suggestion

"What the hell is Xiaobei thinking? What's inside the box? I know that he really wants to get his hands on the box but he could have increased the price slowly, right?! What if the Blood Descendant grand duke decides not to fight with Xiaobei anymore?! And he will end up in spending a lot of unnecessary money!" said Lin Xiang.

"Xiang'er, you need to learn how to place your trust in Mr. Chen! I'm pretty sure that is a good reason behind his decision! The thing that is being kept inside the box could worth more than eight billion!" said Lin Caoyin in a serious manner.

"How is that even possible? What kind of things can sell that kind of ridiculous price?"

In the first row.

"What the f*ck! That kid just increased the price by double! I have attended hundreds of auctions! I have never seen someone as crazy as him! This is truly unbelievable! Why would he choose to sit at the back row since he is so freaking rich?!" asked Hikari Okazaka.

"Clearly, he is trying to cover his real identity in front of others! Mr. Hikari! You must trust me! Go and participate in bidding for the box! I can guarantee that the thing that is being kept inside the box must be extremely valuable!"

"Take part in the bidding?"

Taken aback, Hikari Okazaka started to feel tempted to bid for the box. After all, he just witnessed that Damien and Chen Xiaobei throwing out cash to compete with each other to get their hands on the box. Thinking it through, he knew that there must be something extremely valuable being kept inside the treasure chest. However, he was the one that declared that only idiots would take part in bidding for it - changing his words was equivalent to slapping his own face.

"I'm not going to do it! I'm pretty sure that the two of them do not know what is inside the treasure chest as well! They are just gambling big! Imagine if the things inside it is a person's ashes! That would be a huge bummer!"

Clearly, Hikairi Okazaka cared about his pride more than anything else.

"Mr. Hikari! You need to believe in me! I beg you! Please take part in the bidding! You know that money is never your concern! You will be filled with regret if you still refuse to listen to me!"

According to how well Demonic Fox knew Chen Xiaobei, she was almost certain that Chen Xiaobei had gotten to know that the item inside the treasure chest was worth more than eight billion! And the truth was Demonic Fox was actually right about it! Earlier, Chen Xiaobei had already used his Golden Gaze Fiery Eyes to take a look at the content inside the treasure chest.

Numerous crystals that were as big as coins were being stored inside the treasure chest. There was a good amount of pure Spiritual Qi inside every single crystal. And this was the thing that every Jianghu elites were looking for. This kind of crystal was commonly known as Spiritual Stones. Seeing that Chen Xiaobei got so excited over the treasure chest, there were actually a total of two thousand Spiritual Stones being stored inside it! That was why, he did not mind to increase the bid by an obscene amount of money. Let alone eight billion! He could still earn a lot if the price was increased to eighty billion!

Being able to figure out Chen Xiaobei's secret, Demonic Fox was actually very smart, observant, and brave. However, the man that sat beside her was just a fool.

"I have told you that I'm not going to bid for that stupid box! Can you please cut it out?!" said Hikari Okazaka.

"But..."

Demonic Fox still wanted to try one last time to convince him.

"Shut up! Don't forget that you are the future empress of Japan! You are embarrassing me by talking non-stop here!"

"I-I... Understand..."

With her lips pursed, Demonic Fox felt really indignant. Earlier, Demonic Fox thought that Hikari Okazaka was a close to perfect man. Now, once she compared him with Chen Xiaobei, she felt that Hikari Okazaka was no longer the man she thought he would be. To Demonic Fox, Chen Xiaobei was the kind of man that could achieve something really big in his life! No one would ever know his limit! Someday, he could turn the world upside down! Or maybe he could bring a big change to this world!

On the other hand, Hikari Okazaka is just a second-generation filthy rich man. It would be great if he could protect his status in Japan. It was simply impossible for him to achieve something bigger anymore. Feeling disappointed, Demonic Fox wished that the person that sat beside her was Chen Xiaobei but not Hikari Okazaka.

Knowing that she could no longer put any hope on him, Demonic Fox slowly turned her head and looked at Damien. At this moment, only he could suppress Chen Xiaobei's domineering presence.

Though Chen Xiaobei might look calm from the surface, he was actually extremely nervous.

"Bastard, better don't increase the price anymore! I have only eleven billion in my account! I will definitely lose to him if he insists on buying it!"

Seemingly, the purpose Chen Xiaobei increased the price was to make Damien surrender to him. This was no more than psychological warfare. If he could make Damien took a step back, Chen Xiaobei would be able to use eight billion to exchange with something that cost around three hundred billion! That two thousand Spiritual Stones were the thing that Chen Xiaobei needed the most right now because his Chaos Sword Essence just consumed five thousand Spiritual Stones from him days ago. He would be left in a state of frustration if he failed to purchase this treasure chest.

"Mr. Chen! Initially, I have something very important to do today! But, I decided to delay my plan because of this treasure chest!"

Upon hearing that, Chen Xiaobei felt extremely disappointed.

'Shit! This is bad! Considering the fact that Damien is willing to delay his important plan to purchase this treasure chest, I think he will definitely come up with everything that he has to purchase it!"

However, the thing that was about to happen next went beyond Chen Xiaobei's expectation.

"Truth to be told, the treasure chest is very important for me but I don't think I possess the skill set to unlock this treasure chest! I would like to ask everyone to be our witness, I will give up on bidding the treasure chest if Mr. Chen can unlock this treasure chest in front of us!" said Damien in a serious tone.

"Unlock the treasure chest? We are more than willing to become your witness! But, can that kid do it?"

Feeling doubtful, the crowd did not think Chen Xiaobei could unlock the treasure chest. The owner of this item and Damien would not have given up on it, if it could be unlocked easily.

"Everyone! Calm down! I'm pretty sure Mr. Chen knows a thing or two about this treasure chest since he is willing to offer eight billion dollars to buy this treasure chest! Mr. Chen, are you interested in trying it? You can use eight billion to purchase this treasure chest if you can unlock this treasure chest in front of everyone!"

"Alright!" replied Chen Xiaobei in a confident manner.
