Urban Supreme Wild Son-in-Law War God-Chapter 748 - They Gave Too Much
The view from this private box is excellent; one can clearly look down upon the entire fifth floor, and even gaze out the window to see far below. It's truly a commanding position!
Ye Ling and his companions surveyed the surroundings and noticed quite a few faces from the four major families gathered there, chatting about something.
"These guys, acting all high and mighty on normal days, as if having some power in their families is such a big deal. They don't even consider their own behavior!" Gao Quan spoke disdainfully.
Ye Ling offered a faint smile, the four major families appearing almost simultaneously at the auction probably for the legendary Ice Frost Sword.
"Boss, this auction is going to be interesting." A mischievous smirk curled on Ye Jiu's lips, his eyes filled with an eager gleam, obviously very interested in the upcoming auction.
Ye Ling was about to say something when suddenly, the receiver buzzed, "Hello, Xia Xue is calling, would you like to answer?"
"Answer!" Ye Ling said.
"Number one, are you also at the auction?"
Xia Xue's surprised voice echoed through the receiver; hearing her voice, Ye Ling also broke into a wide grin.
"Yes, what's up, do you need something?" Ye Ling asked with a slight smile.
Xia Xue cleared her throat, her cheeks a bit flushed, and spoke softly, "The thing is, there's quite a number of people from the four major families at today's auction, you must be careful not to expose your identity!"
"Don't worry, I know." Ye Ling quickly responded, although his acquaintance with Xia Xue and her sister Xia Qing wasn't long, he still had a good impression of them. No matter how much she showed concern for him, it always warmed his heart.
"Right, number one, there's also another thing," Xia Xue hesitated over the line for a while before finally speaking with difficulty.
"I have a cousin who wants to bid for the Ice Frost Sword and is taking this opportunity to hire some bodyguards. Would you be interested?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Ling instinctively wanted to refuse, because serving as a bodyguard in such a low-profile job was simply beneath him, especially since Ye Ling was a powerful being at the level of a Saint; he could hardly stoop to such actions.
But before Ye Ling could speak, Xia Xue on the other end continued, "My cousin is offering twenty billion a day for a Saint-level, and for a half-step to Saint, ten billion a day!"
"It will take about three days to return to Telo City!" Xia Xue added cautiously.
The refusal that had reached Ye Ling's lips was abruptly swallowed back down. At that moment, shock had completely taken over his mind.
My heavens, how can I refuse this? They're offering so much!
"Number one, I know you don't want to work as a bodyguard, but if you could just help me..."
Before she could finish speaking, Ye Ling quickly interrupted, "I have a few friends here; can they come along?"
"Hmm?" Xia Xue was taken aback at first, and when she finally understood, her cheeks immediately flushed with joy, "You mean, you have a few friends who are also at the Saint level?"
Ye Ling nodded, "Aside from myself, there are four other Saints. Can you arrange that?"
Xia Xue eagerly nodded, "No problem, my cousin is looking for bodyguards, and we'll welcome anyone!"
At this point, Ye Ling's heart was almost bursting with joy; this was a huge sum of money!
Upon further consideration, not only could he use the Gu family's hand to deal with people from the four major families but he could also make a fortune. With this money, he could upgrade the weapons for Ye Jiu and the others.
"Alright, since that's the case, come to me tomorrow, and I'll make the arrangements," Xia Xue said excitedly; after all, this was a big order!
"By the way," Ye Ling seemed to have thought of something, "how can your cousin be so confident about buying the Ice Frost Sword?"
Hearing Ye Ling's question, Xia Xue smiled, "Number One, what you don't know is that my cousin's family wealth is, without exaggeration, undoubtedly the richest on Disaster Star!"
"Their financial strength is so formidable that even the Leiths royal family can't compare, and he has many friends within the auction houses as well, so the Ice Frost Sword is surely going to be in his bag," Xia Xue said proudly.
Upon hearing this, Ye Ling also realized why that guy had such great confidence to challenge the four great families; it turned out his background was so profound!
After hanging up the communicator, Ye Ling looked at Gao Quan, Zhan Mengqi, and the others, smiling and saying, "It looks like we are going to have a task soon!"
Gao Quan's interest was instantly piqued, "Boss, what task?"
Both Zhan Mengqi and Zhe Xiaoyu's pretty faces showed a touch of anticipatory excitement.
Ye Ling said slowly, "We're going to be bodyguards for someone from an ancient family."
"Bodyguards?"
Gao Quan's eyes immediately widened in astonishment as he looked at Ye Ling, "Boss, are you sure?"
"We're Saints, after all; how can we stoop to being bodyguards? That's simply an insult to the dignity of us Saints!" Gao Quan said angrily.
"They're offering twenty billion a day."
When Gao Quan heard this statement, his slightly complaining tone instantly vanished, replaced by an excited expression, "Ahem, being a bodyguard or whatever is fine; the main thing is I'm itching for action."
Zhe Xiaoyu and Zhan Mengqi couldn't help but roll their eyes at this; a Saint wanting to be a bodyguard, have they no shame?
Ye Ling nodded, "Each of us should be able to get sixty billion. We could then upgrade our weapons and equipment with that."
"We'll find out the specifics after the auction is over!"
Just then, a woman with a graceful figure walked onto the stage. She was wearing a purple-red cheongsam that outlined her flawless figure, particularly her full and prominent curves that drew the eyes of all the men in the room.
When people saw her, there was immediately a burst of cheers.
"Isn't that Miss Zhu Mei, known as the most beautiful woman in Qingyan City? Seeing her today, she truly lives up to her reputation; it's astonishing!"
"Tsk tsk, she's even more beautiful... If one could spend a spring night with the first beauty of Qingyan City, that would indeed be blissful to death!"
Many eyes surveyed Zhu Mei, rife with greedy stares.
Ye Ling also inwardly nodded; Zhu Mei was indeed not bad. However, if it came to the city's foremost beauty, she might not necessarily be the best; at least Ye Ling thought that the Oiran from Jinxing Brothel was not inferior to her.
Zhu Mei stood at the center of the stage, her voice soft and melodious as she started, "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome and thank you for taking time out of your busy schedules to attend our auction today!"
Then, after clearing her throat and satisfied with the crowd's reaction, Zhu Mei continued to speak.
