Mu Chengxi sat down in front of his desk, opened his computer, and entered a series of codes. Soon, the computer screen displayed the image of a man.

This man had a rough and resolute face. He looked like someone who was not to be trifled with. He was burly and sat in front of the computer screen with a perverse expression on his face. It looked very out of place with his figure and face.

“Master Xi, you thought of me this noon. The situation overseas has been smoothly handled. In about two days, it should be mostly resolved, and we can return to Continent F.”

Mu Nan had been stationed by Mu Chengxi at the border to deal with some overseas issues. Recently, with the Manny family’s troubles, the overseas forces had been restless, necessitating his attention to many matters.

“Are you near Pochinki’s border? There’s an auction tonight in Pochinki. There will be a lot up for auction that I need. Arrange for someone to acquire the Warm Jade for me.”

“Pochinki’s auction? Warm Jade? Alright, Master Xi, I understand. I will secure the Warm Jade.”

Mu Nan was utterly obedient to Mu Chengxi, never questioning his orders, even if it meant turning into an assassin on Mu Chengxi’s command.

Late at night, the streets in the center of Pochinki were very chaotic. There were homeless people everywhere on the roadside, and robberies were frequent. It was an extremely insecure city.

However, for the wealthy, it was a paradise, a place of decadent luxury.

Chu Yunxuan and Yan Qing were sitting on the roof of the Ding She Building. Yan Qing’s brows were tightly knitted together when he saw another robbery happening on the street not far away.

“You came to Pochinki early in the morning. What are you doing here?”

Just a few days ago, Yan Qing had returned from an exhilarating mission, only to be dragged to this complex city by Chu Yunxuan the moment he returned to Di Ting headquarters.

He glanced at the local time—it was midnight—and was utterly clueless about Chu Yunxuan’s intentions.

“I’m here for the auction. I heard that a piece of Warm Jade, which might be useful for Wen Xin, will be auctioned off in Pochinki. I want to purchase it and give it to her.”

Chu Yunxuan was well aware of Wen Xin’s condition. Every winter, Wen Xin’s days would be very difficult to bear.

After releasing news in Pochinki’s auction circles, she inquired about the Warm Jade’s benefits. Although unsure if it was as miraculous as rumored, as long as it could help Wen Xin, she was determined to acquire it.

Hearing that Chu Yunxuan was here to buy Warm Jade for Wen Xin, Yan Qing, a devoted fan of Wen Xin, was instantly energized, his fatigue vanishing.

“If it’s for Wen Xin, we must win it at all costs. But on another note, how old is Wen Xin exactly? The last time I heard her real voice, I thought I had dialed the wrong number.”

Yan Qing picked up a wine glass from the table, elegantly swirling and sipping the wine, then placing it back down, his gaze burning with curiosity towards Chu Yunxuan.

“Wen Xin is probably as you’ve guessed. She’s exceptionally beautiful. I’ll take you to Country Z sometime to satisfy your curiosity.”

Chu Yunxuan replied noncommittally to Yan Qing, glanced at the time, stood up, and patted his shoulder, “It’s about time. Let’s head to the auction.”

Chu Yunxuan dressed inconspicuously that day, in all black, with her hair in a bun, looking neat and efficient.

Her attire was meant to blend into the darkness, aware that any item appearing in Pochinki’s auction could attract certain individuals’ attention. She wouldn’t allow any mistakes on her part.

When Yan Qing and Chu Yunxuan arrived at the auction, their ordinary appearances drew no attention. Chu Yunxuan picked up a bidding number and found a seat at random.

Yan Qing, as Chu Yunxuan sat down, gently tugged at her clothes and whispered, “Isn’t there a private box here? Bidding like this could easily attract

the attention of competitors.”

In Continent M, Di Ting also operated an auction house, which highly valued the privacy of its clients. People of a certain status and position often chose to bid from private boxes.

However, in such a mixed and basic auction environment, it was hard to secure an item without drawing attention.

Chu Yunxuan, sitting down with the demeanor of a big boss, coldly glanced at Yan Qing, disdainfully regarding him as if he were inexperienced.

“This place is just like this. The items auctioned here would never appear in a regular auction house. You’ll see.”

At first, Yan Qing couldn’t grasp what Chu Yunxuan meant. After the auction began and he saw one item after another, he nearly lost control. This place was a hell, with not a single normal item.

“Chu Yunxuan, how do you know about this place?”

Yan Qing looked at her in surprise. As the head of Di Ting’s intelligence network, he hadn’t known about this place and couldn’t fathom how Chu Yunxuan did.

Seeing Yan Qing’s astonished look, Chu Yunxuan made a shushing gesture, signaling him not to look so ignorant and shocked.

At that moment, the auction house’s hostess brought out a red box containing a red jade stone. The host introduced it as the final item of the day, the Warm

Jade.

“Finally, a normal item at this auction.”

Yan Qing looked at Chu Yunxuan and breathed a sigh of relief. He couldn’t claim his hands were clean, but they weren’t so bloodstained as to deal in various organs. This was an eye-opener for him.

Looking at the auction stage, Chu Yunxuan’s lips curved slightly, winking at Yan Qing.

“This legendary Warm Jade is comparable to that ancient jade from before. Why do you think it’s the final item? Be careful; it might not be something bloody, but it can easily stir up a bloody storm.”

As Chu Yunxuan finished speaking, various bids filled the auction hall. The price of the Warm Jade shot up from several hundred thousand to ninety million.

“Ninety million for a piece of jade…”

Yan Qing felt that stepping out with Chu Yunxuan today had broadened his horizons. Perhaps he had been with Di Ting for too long, feeling disconnected from the world. Coming here had completely refreshed his understanding.

“Ninety million… And this is just the beginning. If we can get this jade for under a billion, we’ll be lucky today..”
