"Private room number one offered twenty million!"
'This is boring'
Sitting in one of the biggest auctions in the world right now, the man in his early thirties placed a price on the item on display and looked around at the silent atmosphere. Whenever he bid for an item, the auction was strangely silent and no one was competing with him to raise the price.Â
This was not unreasonable; no one wanted to raise the price against a genius who had managed to become the richest man in the world in his mid-twenties. Even if they did, it would be impossible for them to take it away from him, they would only inadvertently provoke him, and none of the people participating in this auction were that stupid.Â
But what they didn't know was that their behavior would not go down well with this handsome and well-dressed man.Â
As the man listened to the countdown, he closed his eyes slightly and remembered days gone by. Not even twenty years old, he was knocking on the doors of rich people's homes, trying to sell his first factory and new product with royalties, and secretly sweating while smiling to analyze what kind of things the people he met liked.Â
Not only was he a nobody in the world of the rich, but his ability to awaken was not working at the time. All he could do as a poor young man was to go door to door in the rich neighborhoods to make good connections.Â
And as the saying goes, he who sows the wind, reaps the storm.Â
As a result of these days of hard work, the young man made many friends in the rich neighborhood.Â
He made tens of millions in a short time by buying and selling while developing friendships at the rich parties he attended. He did not stop there, he stepped into politics and the arts. Sleeping only a few hours a day, he cursed the brevity of each day.Â
And at the age of twenty-seven he was rewarded for his efforts. On his twenty-seventh birthday he became one of the twenty richest people in the world. Before he turned twenty-eight, he rose to the top of the list.Â
What caused his wealth to grow so rapidly was undoubtedly his gift of awakening.Â
Everyone in this world is born with a tattoo on their body. These tattoos awaken at a random time, giving their bearers small abilities. Of course, even in this case, most tattoos conform to the laws of physics. For example, the tatto of the fastest man alive only gives him a 5x speed boost. Because the human body cannot take much more.Â
There is even a ranking for tattoos. These abilities are ranked from F level to S level.
His tattoos are SS level tattoos that normal people don't know exist. Such tattoos, which almost ignore the laws of physics, have rarely appeared in the world.Â
Fortunately, no one in the world knows about his tatto's abilities. As the countdown ended, the man raised his head and looked at the picture of the island next to the auctioneer looking at him. Meanwhile, a tiny star tattoos deep in his right eye glowed darkly.Â
[A medium-sized island]
[Value: $860,000,000]
[There is a large gold mine under this island left by an extinct volcano four thousand years ago, and its location between the two countries increases the value of the island considerably]Â
After running his hand through his neat black hair and ruining his own hairstyle, the man muttered once more as he waited for the next item to be auctioned.Â
"It's really boring. No competition, no fun..."
After saying these words, the man took out his phone from his inside pocket and continued reading his favorite Chinese novel.Â
The island had just cost him twenty million dollars. At that price, the auctioneers were probably quite happy. After all, according to them, this island has no special value, apart from the fact that it is located between two countries at war. Even selling such an island could have gotten them into a lot of trouble.
But as luck would have it, Mr. Michael took on the problem for them and offered them a good price.Â
The two old men, who had been watching the inside of room number one through the cameras, exhaled deeply when they heard this news and hugged each other with tears in their eyes.Â
"We should thank Mr. Michael properly later, as delicious as this hot potato was, we almost burned our hands trying to hold it in our hands."
"Hahaha, in the last four days nearly twenty thieves have tried to steal the island's ownership files. It's really a hot potato heated in the fires of hell."
"I will send my beautiful granddaughter to deliver the files to Mr. Michael. Perhaps the rise of my family is near. Kekeke."
"Dream on! Don't be stupid, dysfunctional old man! It's us who should thank him"
At these words, the elder, who wanted to send his granddaughter to Michael, was briefly angry. He wanted to say that it would be a blessing for his beautiful granddaughter to be in someone else's bed, but after a while he gave up. A man like Michael, a man of great influence all over the world, could benefit a lot in the future from a one-time relationship with his granddaughter.Â
He felt bad when he saw his other old friend go silent with a red face. He knew that one of the things this old man valued most in life was that grandson.Â
"Okay, okay. Calm down. Have you ever heard of him having a relationship with a woman before? Of course not. He'd probably refuse even if you sent him your granddaughter."
"Are you saying my granddaughter is not worthy of him!"
"I'm trying to comfort you and you're yelling at me! Okay, if you want to know the truth, I'll tell you. The only person in the world worthy of him, let alone your granddaughter, is probably his own sister or something. Do you realize who we are talking about? Wake up!"
While the two old men continued to argue among themselves, the man on the giant screen in front of them lay down on the soft couch while continuing to read a novel on his phone as if he was oblivious to the world.Â
