He was under twenty years old, a college freshman with a life story full of profound misery. Yet, out of the blue, he was casually offering a Supreme Black Dragon Card worth one hundred million yuan? To say Ji Yi wasn’t suspicious would be impossible.

Although Qin Fan seemed to defy the heavens when it came to taking down the Qin family, Ji Yi could at least find some explanation for it. After all, hatred can drive a person to desperation, making them do crazy things that shock the world. Besides, since the hate-filled Qin Fan had spent so many years in the Qin family, it was plausible he had discovered their crimes. But this money? Casually whipping out a card with a starting balance of at least one hundred million yuan? Even winning the lottery wasn’t that fast! Just over a year ago, Qin Fan had been quietly accepting pocket money from her. Now, in less than two years, he had transformed into a tycoon who viewed a hundred million yuan as mere dirt?

Amidst these unbelievable circumstances, Ji Yi felt a sense of panic. Impossible! She feared the source of Qin Fan’s money was filthy—dirty money that would come at a terrible cost!

"Sis, you couldn’t get this much money even if you stole or robbed it! The money is absolutely clean! Otherwise, I wouldn’t dare give it to you, right? Come on, stop looking at me like you’re interrogating a criminal! Just accept this pocket money from your little brother," Qin Fan said with a helpless, wry smile.

He had actually forgotten about this detail. These cards were given to him by Li Yicheng; the one hundred billion yuan he had received was distributed among a batch of bank cards. The main account was under Qin Fan’s name, and these were all supplementary cards. He wasn’t sure what the limit was on each one, nor had he ever asked. He never expected that pulling one out so casually would cause such a fuss. If he had known this Supreme Black Dragon Card would stir up so much trouble that needed explaining, he wouldn’t have given it to Ji Yi for anything.

"This isn’t one million, or one hundred thousand, or even ten thousand—it’s one hundred million! One hundred million! Do you have any concept of what that means? You suddenly come up with so much money—how do you expect me to believe you? Besides, do Uncle Qin and Aunt Wei know about this? No, I have to report this to them. If something goes wrong, it will be a disaster!" Saying this, Ji Yi frantically began fumbling for her phone.

Faced with a bank card worth at least one hundred million yuan, she felt no joy or excitement. Instead, her thoughts were entirely for Qin Fan. This showed that there was a reason he was willing to go to such great lengths to care for and protect her. In this fickle, restless era, what Ji Yi, this ’sis,’ had done exceeded what many biological sisters would do by ten, a hundred, or even a thousand times over.

At this, the wry smile on Qin Fan’s face grew more pronounced. He knew Ji Yi’s character; at this point, anything he said would be useless. Helplessly, he looked toward Chang Yuanyi and gave him a meaningful glance. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

Catching Qin Fan’s look, Chang Yuanyi immediately understood and hurriedly exclaimed, "Oh, for goodness’ sake! Miss Ji, what are you fussing about? Master Qin’s money is from a completely legitimate source. Let alone one hundred million, even one billion or ten billion is no big deal for him now!"

"What are you talking about?" Ji Yi paused, her hand stopping as it held her phone. "One billion, ten billion is no big deal? Are you treating reality like a game? Are you talking about game currency?"

"Miss Ji, you don’t know! A few months ago, Master Qin developed a type of water and fruit with miraculous effects! It’s ten thousand yuan per bottle and ten thousand yuan per kilogram, and it’s still in short supply. On the black market, the price has been driven up to one hundred thousand yuan per bottle, and it’s still incredibly hard to get! The headquarters is in Jiangzhou, with Chairman Qin and Madam Qin presiding over it! And I am one of Master Qin’s agents. So, tell me, is one or ten billion yuan really such a big deal?" Chang Yuanyi whispered urgently.

"What? Water that costs ten thousand yuan a bottle? Fruit that costs ten thousand yuan a kilogram? Are you kidding me? Do you gain immortality after drinking and eating them? And they’re still in short supply and incredibly hard to get? Please, if you’re going to lie, at least make it believable! Do you think all the rich people in Huaxia are fools with more money than sense? All right, that’s enough. Didn’t you say my Uncle Qin and Aunt Wei are at the headquarters? Fine, I’ll just give them a call, and everything will be clear! You little rascal, don’t you run away. Stay right there; I’m making a call! Yalan, keep an eye on him. If he tries to slip away, just call out to me!"

With that assertive declaration, Ji Yi clutched her phone and quickly strode out of the circle of people.

This is—! Damn it! She’s being completely obstinate. Seeing Ji Yi unmoved by his words, Chang Yuanyi felt the awkwardness of having screwed up. He couldn’t help but look toward Qin Fan. "Master Qin, I—"

But before he could finish, Qin Fan waved his hand and interrupted, "Forget it, it doesn’t matter. It was bound to happen sooner or later anyway. Let her ask. It’s better for my parents to explain it to her."

"Yes, Master Qin!" Smacking his lips, Chang Yuanyi could only respond in this manner.

"Big Brother, is what Mr. Chang said true?" nearby, Li Yunzhe, who had heard every single word, asked in dazed shock.

"Just keep this to yourself. And remember, don’t let the Boss and the others find out!"

It wasn’t a direct response, but the implication was crystal clear. Qin Fan frowned slightly. Although he knew that Li Qiuzhe and the others would inevitably find out his identity one day, he still hoped that day wouldn’t come too soon. Just as he had said before, once his identity was exposed, the three guys from Room 708 would be put under immense pressure, forced to walk on thin ice. That would certainly do no good for their friendship.

"Oh, oh, Big Brother, I understand! I understand! My lips are sealed! I promise I won’t leak a single word!" Li Yunzhe’s voice trembled as he patted his chest in assurance.

Inside, however, a tidal wave of shock washed over him! He had thought Qin Fan’s various feats were already heaven-defying! But behind them, he actually possessed such a colossal fortune! Even Jinling’s Mr. Chang was his agent; one could only imagine the scale of his enterprise! One billion, ten billion were nothing... then how much money did he actually have?! Thinking about how Qin Fan was even younger than him, and then about everything that had happened since Qin Fan arrived in Jinling, Li Yunzhe felt that the person beside him was not human. Yes, it’s impossible for a human to achieve such perfection and invincibility! This had to be a True God; only a True God who scorns the mortal world could be such a heaven-defying anomaly!

GULP.

GULP.

Suddenly, as Li Yunzhe looked at Qin Fan again, he couldn’t stop swallowing. The invisible pressure was making it hard for him to breathe. It was just like when an ordinary person meets a billionaire; it’s always difficult to keep one’s turbulent emotions in check.

Lost in this daze, he barely registered that the Human Body Banquet auction had officially begun.
