The Supreme Soldier King of the Lady CEO-Chapter 897 - 878: Nine Nether Luminous Pearl

Brandon's lips curled into a mocking smile.

Who would've thought, some fool actually tried to present a fake gift at a Rothschild Clan banquet. Such an act is akin to slapping the Rothschild Clan in the face!

This guy will be utterly embarrassed when the fake is uncovered later!

The Rothschild Clan will also be extremely angry!

There's going to be quite a show!

Haha!

Brandon, rejoicing in others' misfortune, could hardly wait to see the drama unfold.

At this moment.

Five dashing men, dressed in pristine suits, approached with their hands in their pockets and squinted, saying, "Brandon, what's going on that has you grinning so sinisterly?"

"You wouldn't believe it, my brother Ye Ming spent five hundred billion arranging to gift the first Prince Consort an imperial porcelain piece from the last emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty, Huizong of Song—'Conquering the Emperor's Heart'. But upon arriving, I saw a fake sitting right next to my brother's genuine 'Conquering the Emperor's Heart'." Brandon pointed to the "fake Conquering the Emperor's Heart" and laughed heartily.

The five men, upon hearing this, couldn't help themselves and burst into loud laughter!

"Can you believe someone would be so stupid as to present a fake gift to the first Prince Consort, and on such a grand occasion as the Rothschild's once-a-decade family banquet?"

"Yeah, that's straight-up foolish. Calling this person a dumbass doesn't even do it justice, haha!"

"The Rothschild Clan never forces gift-giving. Typically, those without substantial financial means or social standing would refrain from presenting gifts. This guy dared to send a fake gift, risking it being found out, and not only failing to please the Rothschild Clan but also drawing their disdain, making the attempt utterly pointless!"

"Weren't many bigwigs bringing their entourages or friends to the banquet? I bet this must be a gift from some big shot's entourage or friend who couldn't afford something truly valuable but didn't want to lose this golden opportunity to curry favor with the first Prince Consort, hence devising this scheme of giving a fake!"

"I heard that Huaxia's top appraiser, Su Jianbao, is also attending the banquet. He'll undoubtedly spot that it's a fake at a glance. Then the person who sent it and the supposed bigshot who brought him will be unspeakably embarrassed, and they'll certainly incur the Rothschild Clan's displeasure!"

"Haha, let's just sit back and enjoy the show!"

The five men discussed and laughed until tears came out!

Who ever brought such a moron, allowing this big dumbass to attend the banquet!

It's absolutely hilarious!

Brandon and Ye Ming also laughed, clueless about who this fool was!

"Oh my, I can't, it's killing me." The five wiped away their laughing tears, their stomachs aching from the laughter.

After finishing laughing, they calmed themselves down a bit and teased, "Brandon, yesterday's spectacle was quite something."

These five shared a status similar to Brandon's; they were heirs to five of the eight major Western conglomerates, excluding the Chanel and Louis conglomerates, as well as the Flanders Conglomerate. Naturally, their intel was exceptionally sharp, aware that the widely sensational event across the global internet yesterday was orchestrated by Brandon himself.

Brandon waved lightly and nonchalantly, saying, "Nothing too grand, but it was okay; it served my need for revenge."

"But the guy you took down was no small fry. He's practically royalty within Huaxia's Ye and Li families, akin to a Crown Prince. Aren't you afraid of retaliation from the Ye and Li families?"

"Ha, retaliation? Am I supposed to be scared?"

Brandon looked smug: "Anyone daring to cross me, no matter who they are, even if they were deities, must die!"

"You seem quite confident?" The five men asked with a meaningful smirk, patting Brandon on the shoulder. They were his cronies, frequenting nightclubs together, sharing a tight bond.

Brandon, unreserved among them, said, "I've prepared extensively today; I'm certain to win the first Prince Consort's favor and friendship!"

"By that time, the threat of the Ye and Li families to me won't count as a threat anymore, and the current problems faced by the Flanders Conglomerate will also be resolved smoothly. Speaking of which."

Brandon shifted gears and added, "You guys prepare yourselves. Once the banquet is over, we'll advance into Huaxia together, wipe out Tianyun International, and then crush Huaxia's commerce, ruling over Huaxia's business world! Let the Huaxia people remember once more, the might of the West!"

"No problem."

The heirs of the five major conglomerates agreed readily, their faces adorned with a mischievous look, as they stomped on the grass underfoot, imagining it as Ye Huan, twisting it with their toes. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

They vividly recalled how, a little over a month ago, while collaborating with Brandon and imposing a complete ban on Tianyun International in Europe, Ye Huan had called them, warning them they'd regret it.

Receiving that call, they burst into laughter immediately.

A mere vice president of Tianyun International, backed by the Ye and Li families, dared to threaten the five major conglomerates?

Ridiculous!

Did he truly believe the Ye and Li families were mighty enough to extend their reach into the West?

Mind you, the West boasts a Rothschild, a super family ruling half the globe!

The five were curious to see how Ye Huan would make them regret it.

Who knew, they didn't even lay eyes on the guy before he perished under Brandon's brilliant scheming.

A fool, daring to oppose them, opposing the conglomerates backing them, intending to make them regret alongside it?

Ludicrous!

What a clown!

...

"I declare the Rothschild Clan banquet opening ceremony officially started!"

"From this moment on, and for the next fifteen minutes, is the guest gift-giving segment."

"The Rothschilds do not advocate gift-giving, but if you must, please do so within your means."

The castle gates already stood open, as Kaldi Rothschild, the great butler of the Rothschild Clan, stood outside with a microphone, smiling at the guests present.

Fifteen minutes prior, upon receiving news of the impending start of the banquet, all guests proceeded to the backyard of the estate to retrieve the gifts temporarily stored there.

Though instructed to give within their means, the gifts prepared by the guests were extravagantly lavish one after another!

Approaching the castle gates, all first respectfully bowed to Irvine.

The reason being none other than this magnate being not just the great butler of the Rothschild family but also the Great Commander of America, wielding immense power!

After bowing, they each briefly introduced their gifts before placing them on the ground floor of the castle.

"The Ethan Family wishes the Rothschild Clan eternal prosperity and presents an ancient Egyptian pharaoh's staff valued at thirty billion US Dollars!"

"The Diri Conglomerate wishes the Rothschild Clan eternal prosperity and presents a blood diamond valued at fifty billion US Dollars!"

"The Kal Family wishes…"

At first, since the strength of the gift-givers' families was relatively average, the value of the gifts wasn't high either.

Later on, however, each gift eclipsed the previous one in value!

Seventy billion...

One hundred billion...

One hundred and fifty billion...

Two hundred billion...

Finally!

The Louis Conglomerate actually presented a Blood Dragon Jade worth two hundred and fifty billion US Dollars!

Unwilling to be outdone, Ye Ming arranged for the Rothschild Clan's butlers and maids to bring in the imperial porcelain 'Conquering the Emperor's Heart' from the Song Dynasty worth five hundred billion US Dollars!

"I, Ye Ming, wish the Rothschild Clan eternal prosperity, wish the first Prince Consort and his wife a happy marriage and a lifetime together, and hereby present: a Song Dynasty antique porcelain, Conquering the Emperor's Heart, valued at five hundred billion US Dollars!"

The crowd was astonished!

However, this wasn't the most shocking revelation yet!

When Brandon opened the golden silkwood box in his hand, revealing the deep blue, mesmerizing, and radiant Luminous Pearl within, all eyes were wide open!

The Nine Nether Luminous Pearl, the ancestral treasure of the Flanders Conglomerate!

Valued at five hundred billion US Dollars, on par with the Conquering the Emperor's Heart!
