Trillionaire's Slice of Life-Chapter 1210 - 756: Punishment_2
Chapter 1210 -756: Punishment_2
And it was this incident that let everyone know, in Hua Country, anyone could be offended, even the eight great families didn’t need to worry too much, but the only exception was Mr. Chu from Capital City, whom everyone had to be cautious around.
The most mischievous and troublesome second and third-generation heirs from wealthy families were all solemnly warned by their families: if anyone provoked Mr. Chu, regardless of the reason, they would immediately lose their position as the family heir, and in severe cases, they might even be entirely cut off from the family, all to avoid punishment from Mr. Chu.
Because the Lin sisters were girls, and their status and position were far too inferior compared to Mr. Chu, their family thought it unlikely that they would ever cross paths with Mr. Chu from Capital City; therefore, they didn’t give them much warning. Still, even so, Lin Weier had heard terrifying stories about Mr. Chu from what others had said.
What Lin Weier had never expected was that today, she and her sister would meet the mysterious and fearsome Mr. Chu in such a manner, and what was even more dire was that her usually mischievous younger sister had somehow offended him.
If the situation today was not handled properly, not only would both sisters suffer, but their entire Lin family could be destroyed by her sister’s single remark, and if it really came to that, the two of them would be the sinners of the entire Lin family.
With this thought in mind, Lin Weier, who normally doted on her witty and quirky younger sister, suddenly felt a sense of disappointment deep within.
Looking at her younger sister with tears blurring her vision, despite her full pity, she knew that if she really went soft this time, she would miss the last chance to make amends, and in the future, the Lin family might be in danger of ruin.
Therefore, this time Lin Weier did not hold back; she ignored the pleas in her sister’s eyes and stretched out her right hand once more, then fiercely slapped Lin Linger’s right cheek.
“Slap!”
The second slap was just as forceful, and the crisp sound even echoed throughout the entire hall.
Lin Weier had learned Taekwondo for a few years, but because she was a girl, her family didn’t demand any significant achievements from her, just enough to protect herself in dangerous situations, so she wasn’t even considered a D-level Martial Artist.
Yet, with a few years of Taekwondo foundation, she was certainly capable of dealing with an average person unexpectedly, even overpowering one or two adults.
Because she had undergone special training, Lin Weier’s strength was not as weak as it seemed on the surface, even greater than the average boy’s; her slap left a blood-red handprint on Lin Linger’s face immediately, and even caused a tear at the corner of her mouth.
But it didn’t end there; Lin Weier, seeing the mysterious man in front unflinching, felt an abnormal heartache, but without any hesitation, followed with the third and fourth slaps, a succession of crisp sounds continuously resonating in the hall, and even after over ten slaps, there were the sounds of Lin Linger’s sobbing cries from behind.
“Mr. Chu, if this continues, I’m afraid it could negatively affect your reputation…!”
A quiet reminder from Lei Ting at his side reached his ears; Chu Mo, with a light sigh, finally stood up, and with his movement, all eyes in the hall once again fell on him. At this moment, the elder sister behind him, Lin Weier, finally stopped her actions, as the younger sister Lin Linger’s originally delicate face was now covered in fresh blood.
Chu Mo was ultimately not a cold-hearted executioner who ruthlessly destroys beauty; originally, he indeed intended to carry out a minor punishment on the Lin family from Capital City, but seeing as the elder sister Lin Weier had already taken action on his behalf, it was unnecessary for him to relentlessly pursue the matter to the bitter end.
He glanced sideways at the girl behind him; Lin Linger, who was originally pretty and clean-faced, now had her face swollen from her sister’s beating, and because the corner of her mouth had split from the impact, blood was smeared across her cheek, risking disfigurement of her pretty face if not treated in time.
Chu Mo finally focused his gaze on the eldest daughter of the Lin family, Lin Weier. This young woman, though still in her teens, acted with decisive ferocity in her strikes, proving to be a remarkable female figure.
Under the protection of the two Great Grandmasters, Tianya and Lei Ting at his side, Chu Mo began to step forward, and at the same time, he spoke with a calm voice:
“This second Longevity Pill shall be left as compensation for the second young miss of the Lin family.”
As Chu Mo’s words fell, the entire hall immediately erupted with a chorus of gasps!
The invaluable second Longevity Pill, just like that, thanks to Chu Mo’s casual remark, ended up in the hands of the two Lin sisters at a ludicrously low price?
However, following Chu Mo’s indifferent words, besides astonishment and envy, not a single person in the hall dared to utter another word frivolously.
The lesson of the Lin sisters was still fresh, Lin Weier, due to her youth and ignorance, spoke out of turn and got her pretty face beaten into a pig’s head. It was only because Chu Mo was unwilling to lower himself to argue with a young girl that he let the Lin family off the hook. Under these circumstances, if anyone still dared to defy Mr. Chu’s bottom line, daring to raise the bid at this time, they would inevitably face the wrath of Mr. Chu from the Capital City.
When Chu Mo’s figure gradually disappeared from the auction hall, the originally silent hall instantly burst into uproar, and at that moment, everyone’s eyes were all cast towards the back row, where the Lin sisters were both incredibly unlucky yet incredibly fortunate.
At this point, the younger sister Lin Weier’s face was swollen, her teeth even loosened from the beating, and large teardrops kept streaming down, her usual grace nowhere to be seen.

On the other hand, looking at the elder sister, Lin Linger, beneath her delicate and weak expression was a touch of determination and ruthlessness, which earned her some respect from the top tycoons in the hall.
At this moment, in the front row, an elder with grizzled hair suddenly spoke:
“Since Mr. Chu has spoken, I think we should give the pill to the Lin family’s child. No objections, right?”
This elder, sitting in the central position of the front row, naturally had an extraordinary status. As his words landed, the others in the hall nodded in agreement, and then, with permission from the big boss behind the scenes, the auctioneer in traditional Chinese attire finally hammered down and announced:
“I declare that the second Longevity Pill, at a price of eleven thousand and one, has been won by Miss Lin Linger of the Lin family. First of all, thank you all for your participation, this auction is successfully concluded…!”
As the auction came to a close, seemingly fearful of any unforeseen incidents and reluctant to assume any responsibility, the organizers of the Great World Auction House made sure that before anyone left their seat, the auctioneer in traditional Chinese attire personally took the exquisitely crafted wooden box containing the second Longevity Pill and walked to the back row, then solemnly handed the wooden box over to Lin Weier, the eldest daughter of the Lin family.
“This is the second Longevity Pill, please confirm it right now, Miss Lin!”
Although the climactic second Longevity Pill was auctioned off at only eleven thousand, no one could consider it to be worth so little.
Keep in mind, even the less effective first Longevity Pill is worth a billion, and this more precious second Longevity Pill, if left to the bidding of the multi-billionaires in the front row, might well have ended up priced no less than fifty billion, or even a hundred billion wouldn’t be out of the question.
Such an incalculable treasure is obviously beyond what the Great World Auction House could handle, so once the buyer was confirmed, without even going through the backstage process, the auctioneer went straight to handing over the pill to the Lin sisters, as to disassociate themselves from the pill. Whatever happens after that would have nothing to do with the Great World Auction House.
“Please confirm openly, Miss Lin.”
As the auctioneer in traditional Chinese attire spoke carefully, Lin Weier, her hands and feet trembling, finally opened the exquisite wooden box in her hands, and instantly, an extraordinary fragrance of the medicine swept through the entire hall.
The second Longevity Pill with the number 014 was lying quietly in the hands of Lin Weier.
