The Beautiful CEO's Super Soldier King-Chapter 546 [Nanyang Soul Hiding Family]

Ye Chenfeng’s senses were far sharper than those of an average person; he detected a faint, sinister presence creeping and spreading. But it was so faint that a normal person wouldn’t have felt it at all.

"Where is it!"

Ye Chenfeng spotted someone in the corner of the venue wearing a white open-necked shirt, which could be long or short-sleeved, with slits at the sides of the waist, which was slightly tapered, and two large pockets at the front. There was a vertical white pattern woven onto each side of the chest, a typical Southeast Asian traditional attire.

Ye Chenfeng also noticed that the person was holding a box woven from rattan, its contents unknown, mysterious. Ye Chenfeng had a hunch that it contained something ominous.

This person was probably from the Nanyang Soul Hiding family as Phoenix had mentioned, likely a Black Magic Master.

A pair of cold eyes scanned his way, and Ye Chenfeng hastily avoided them—the person had actually noticed him.

This person was not simple at all!

"Fifty billion!"

Time passed, and the Holy Grail was actually auctioned off for fifty billion!

This figure made all the wealthy tycoons tremble; it was an unthinkable price.

Ye Chenfeng kept an eye on the person who was bidding against Li Qiuming. After some effort, he finally pinpointed their location.

A sinister smile played on Ye Chenfeng’s lips as he made his way unnoticed to the other side.

"Indeed, a major discovery!"

Ye Chenfeng grinned because right after he arrived on this side, he made a significant find.

He saw Fujiwara Kaji, who worked with Chen Xijun, in the box he had pinpointed. Beside him was a Caucasian who seemed to be the leader.

"I just knew it wasn’t going to be anything good, talking about cracking down on illegal auctions, but it’s just a ruse for secret maneuvers!" Ye Chenfeng chuckled, "Oh, my silly Junjun, you’ve been duped!"

Ye Chenfeng quickly sent a message to Chen Xijun, asking her to come find him.

Who exactly is inside, capable of rivaling Li Qiuming’s financial power? Ye Chenfeng’s curiosity grew by the minute.

He considered the possibility that this mysterious person might be a shill planted by the host to deliberately drive up the price.

"Ye Chenfeng, what do you want from me?" Before long, Chen Xijun had arrived here; she had been moving around the vicinity of the venue.

Ye Chenfeng looked at her with a tender gaze, "Can’t I just miss you?"

Chen Xijun took two steps back, looking at Ye Chenfeng with some fear, "Out with it, what do you want? Don’t sweet-talk me."

"You shouldn’t participate in the operation anymore, I suspect there’s a traitor within Interpol!" Ye Chenfeng said.

"What?" Chen Xijun was visibly shocked, "That’s impossible!"

Ye Chenfeng looked at her, "When have I ever lied to you?"

"You seem to have been deceiving me all along!" Chen Xijun instantly left Ye Chenfeng at a loss for words.

"Alright, I just wanted to warn you." Ye Chenfeng decided to go take a look at that box.

Chen Xijun called out, "I’ll listen to you, I’ll stay with you!"

Ye Chenfeng: "...".

She was just making trouble for him now.

"Sixty billion!"

The bidding continued, and this time Li Qiuming directly raised the bid by a hundred billion.

"Hiss!"

The sound of collective gasps filled the room.

"One hundred billion!"

However, the subsequent bidding by the other party caused everyone in the venue to go into a frenzy.

They upped the bid by four hundred billion!

Everyone was shocked into spitting blood! 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

Ye Chenfeng certainly noticed the commotion and thought to himself that even Li Qiuming would be spitting blood by now, as the opponent seemed to be even more extravagantly forceful!

...

"The Holy Grail is fake! Someone has switched the Holy Grail!"

But just in the next second, an unexpected change suddenly occurred, and a thunderous voice exploded, waking everyone up!

The sudden noise caused Ye Chenfeng’s expression to freeze, and he quickly turned around to look at the venue. Chen Xijun followed him.

Sweeping the room with a glance, Ye Chenfeng realized that the person in traditional Southeast Asian attire had long since disappeared.

"Ah!..."

Instantly, the room began to spiral into chaos, with everyone jumbling together!

The black-robed wizard was the first to react. His eyes were filled with a divine light as he chanted an unknown incantation and with a stretch of his scepter, hurled all of its mesmerizing jewels into the air!

"Bang, bang, bang..."

The jewels hit something in the air, making sounds as if they had collided with an object!

Plumes of black smoke even started to appear!

"Hiss!"

"What’s that?"

Suddenly, everyone saw shadows the size of children flitting by, and a ghostly wail pierced the ear as a chilling breeze swept through!

The crowd descended deeper into chaos, with these dark forms appearing out of nowhere, and with such a backdrop, everyone couldn’t help but suspect they had encountered ghosts!

"What is that?"

Chen Xijun’s face also turned pale since this was the first time she had seen such a thing.

Ye Chenfeng watched the chaotic scene quietly and said, "It’s a ghost!"

"Ah? A ghost?" Chen Xijun was so frightened that she lost all her color, trembling uncontrollably.

Ye Chenfeng couldn’t help but move closer to her, comforting her, "It’s okay, it’s just a small ghost!"

"A small ghost?" Chen Xijun was puzzled; she had only heard of ghosts, never of ’small ghosts.’

Ye Chenfeng smiled, "Have you ever heard about stars hiring small ghosts?"

"No!"

Chen Xijun shook her head like a rattle-drum, wondering how small ghosts could be related to stars.

"Actually, many stars in the Divine Land have gone to Thailand to hire small ghosts to bring them good luck in their careers, love life, and so on. Some stars’ fame is greatly tied to this, and Buddha Amulets are a type of small ghost," Ye Chenfeng explained.

"You’re saying that shadow just now was a small ghost?" Chen Xijun’s view on life was shaken; she had never heard or seen such things before!

"That’s right, the shadows just now were small ghosts raised by someone, attempting to switch the Holy Grail without anyone noticing, but they were discovered!" laughed Ye Chenfeng.

"Ah..."

Chen Xijun was even more astonished; such an act seemed as if someone had put on invisible clothing and cheated!

Ye Chenfeng naturally knew that someone from the Soul Hiding family of Nanyang had taken action. Raising a small ghost in Nanyang was not a problem for them, especially since that person had already taken notice of Ye Chenfeng’s presence, which meant he was very powerful.

That’s why the small ghost he raised was so formidable that it could deceive many people’s eyes.

No wonder Ye Chenfeng had been feeling that something was off all this time but couldn’t pinpoint what it was!

That’s right, it was the rattan-woven box that man had been carrying—inside was the so-called small ghost.

The black-robed wizard who was specially in charge of guarding the Holy Grail was very powerful; he had seen through the ploy of the master from the Soul Hiding family of Nanyang and struck the small ghosts with his own methods.

The people from the Soul Hiding family wanted to stealthily replace the real Holy Grail without anyone noticing. If they had actually succeeded, the others would have ended up with nothing.
