Chapter 211 Robbery
At this moment, a tall woman with over a dozen black-clad bodyguards strode over.
This young woman had fair skin, and a long black dress perfectly accentuated her long legs. She wore glasses that covered half her face, but even so, one could sense her breathtaking beauty. Moreover, she exuded a powerful aura.
With the appearance of this young woman, the surroundings instantly became lively.
"Whoa, isn't that the famous star He Qiongshi? Why is she here?"
"What do you know? The famous star He Qiongshi is the legitimate daughter of the wealthy He family."
"I heard the old madam of the He family is gravely ill, and no physician could cure her. Perhaps He Qiongshi is here to buy this pill for the old madam's illness."
He Qiongshi's face was frosty. She stared at Elder Mo and asked coldly, "Stall owner, are you selling it for eleven hundred million?"
Elder Mo had been trying to sell this pill for over a month without success. He was stunned to hear someone raising the price. He only snapped back to attention when He Qiongshi asked him.
"Of course, I'll sell it..." Elder Mo blurted out without hesitation.
"Elder Mo, we've already paid for this pill. How can you go back on your word?" Black Tiger said indignantly.
Elder Mo sneered, "That was then, this is now. I've decided that the pill goes to the highest bidder!"
A hint of disgust flashed across He Qiongshi's face. She hadn't expected Elder Mo to be so greedy. She was prepared to bid against Chen Xuan, but normally she would have walked away long ago. However, her grandmother's condition couldn't wait, so she had to endure.
"You're f*cking greedy!" Black Tiger cursed in anger.
"If you want it, then bid. If not, the pill belongs to Miss He," Elder Mo said smugly, his face full of greed.
Chen Xuan raised an eyebrow and reminded her, "Miss He, to be frank, this pill has already lost its potency. If you want to use it to save someone, you should find another way."
He Qiongshi was taken aback at first. Her gaze lingered on Chen Xuan for a few seconds, and her face instantly turned cold. She said chillingly, "I didn't expect you to tell such a lie just to get this pill. It's truly despicable."
"Miss He, what do you mean?" Chen Xuan frowned.
Black Tiger also showed some displeasure. "Miss He, you should speak clearly. Our Mr. Chen would never lie."
He Qiongshi's eyes showed contempt. "If this pill is fake, would you spend a billion to buy it?"
Chen Xuan glanced at He Qiongshi and shook his head. It wasn't the pill's potency he was after.
Seeing Chen Xuan's silence, He Qiongshi assumed she had hit the mark. Her eyes revealed a hint of disgust. "If you want this pill, let's compete fairly!"
Chen Xuan made money too quickly, and he wasn't bothered by a few hundred million more. He simply said, "Twelve hundred million!"
"Thirteen hundred million!" He Qiongshi replied.
"Fifteen hundred million!" Chen Xuan said again.
At these words, the surrounding area fell silent. The onlookers looked at Chen Xuan with changed expressions. When had Yangcheng produced such a rich magnate who would bid fifteen hundred million for a pill of uncertain authenticity?
Elder Mo, on the side, grinned from ear to ear.
This was fifteen hundred million!
Even the wealthy He Qiongshi's breathing quickened, her chest heaving, and her face turned slightly pale. Fifteen hundred million was no small sum.
However, she still needed to cure her grandmother. Gritting her teeth, she said, "Sixteen hundred million!"
"Mr. Chen, I have a few hundred million left in my bank card. Please bid whatever you wish," Black Tiger whispered into Chen Xuan's ear.
Chen Xuan frowned, glancing at the determined He Qiongshi. He shook his head. Even if he bid twenty hundred million, He Qiongshi would likely still follow. Bidding any higher would only benefit Elder Mo, that profiteer.
He immediately shook his head and said, "Never mind. Miss He, I'll let you have this pill."
Pfft!
He Qiongshi almost spat out a mouthful of blood, her face turning bright red.
In her opinion, Chen Xuan was deliberately driving up the price for her. He couldn't afford it, yet he claimed to be yielding it to her.
Wasn't that just disgusting?
He Qiongshi didn't appreciate it at all. She snorted coquettishly, "If you can't afford it, just say you can't. Why pretend to yield?"
As she said this, she completely forgot that Chen Xuan had already bought the pill!
"Who are you calling unable to afford it? A mere few billion, how could our Mr. Chen not have it?" Black Tiger said with great dissatisfaction.
He Qiongshi pouted, refusing to believe him.
She couldn't be bothered to engage with Black Tiger. Her grandmother's illness couldn't wait. She immediately took out a bank card and handed it to Elder Mo. "There's sixteen hundred million in here. Hurry up and give me that pill!"
Under the envious gazes of the crowd, Elder Mo, with a face full of smiles, accepted the bank card. He even kissed it fiercely before handing the jade box containing the pill to He Qiongshi.
He Qiongshi immediately opened the jade box to examine the pill. The brilliant, colorful light emanating from the pill made He Qiongshi's beautiful eyes widen.
She was utterly convinced that this pill could save her grandmother's life!
She glanced at Chen Xuan, her eyes filled with contempt. This guy actually claimed the pill had lost its potency. What a liar!
He Qiongshi, holding the jade box containing the pill with immense joy, led her entourage and departed grandly.
Chen Xuan pondered for a moment, preparing to leave with Black Tiger.
However, Black Tiger suddenly remembered that Chen Xuan had given his bank card to Elder Mo. He turned and said coldly to Elder Mo, "Since the deal didn't go through, give us back our bank card."
Elder Mo knew that the bank card had ten hundred million on it, and greed surged within him. He had already learned from Wang Zhong that Black Tiger and Chen Xuan were not locals of Yangcheng. What could two outsiders do to him?
He looked at Chen Xuan and deliberately played dumb. "What are you talking about? What bank card? I don't know anything about it."
Black Tiger's eyes flashed with cold light, and he said angrily, "So you're not planning to return our bank card?"
As he spoke, Black Tiger clenched his fists with a cracking sound, and his internal energy surged, his aura immense.
Black Tiger was now a genuine Inner Force martial artist!
Elder Mo's expression changed when he saw Black Tiger's stance, but then he put on a fearless expression. "Heh, you're going to make a move in the black market?"
"You..."
Black Tiger trembled with rage, but if he made a move, he would likely suffer punishment from the feng shui formation.
Seeing Black Tiger trapped, Elder Mo became smug. "Let me tell you the truth, I never intended to return the money to you!"
The others watched coldly. Such incidents had happened many times in the black market, and they were no longer surprised.
Black Tiger gnashed his teeth, staring at Elder Mo in fury, trying to control his emotions.
Seeing Black Tiger's reaction, Elder Mo deliberately provoked him. "Hit me if you dare! What if you're an Inner Force martial artist? Let me tell you, if you hit me here, you'll be run over by a car the moment you walk out!"
Black Tiger's face was extremely grim, but he slowly lowered his fist.
"Hmph, you useless outsider, you really have no guts. You don't even dare to fight. I bet you'll just die of cowardice!" Elder Mo said disdainfully, deliberately waving the bank card in his hand.
"What's wrong with hitting you?"
At this moment, a cold voice suddenly rang out like thunder!
