Chapter 157 Do you know why I beat you?
"Byron, please continue to talk about the shape of this fruit."
"Well, that fruit looks a bit like an orange. It's golden in color and oval in shape..."
Freeman frowned slightly, "When you saw this fruit, did you think it was special?"
Byron thought about it carefully.
"It seems... there is a special fragrance..."
Hearing this, Freeman's breathing quickened.
Byron quickly asked: "Father, do you know what this is?"
"Yeah."
Freeman said solemnly: "This kind of fruit is called spiritual fruit. The most special thing about them is that they can extend life!"
"Extend life?!"
Upon hearing these two words, Byron suddenly screamed.
Extend your life!
These two words are the ultimate dream of mankind.
Freeman continued: "Seven or eight years ago, when you were still in school, I went to an auction, and the finale of that auction was a spiritual fruit!"
"Byron, do you know how much the spirit fruit was sold for?"
"How much?" Byron said in confusion.
"More than $500 million!"
Hearing this number, Byron had a look of horror on his face.
More than $500 million.
This is an extremely huge number.
Even if the Karl family wanted to raise the money, they would have to sell off their assets to do so.
Now one fruit is worth more than 500 million US dollars?
Isn't this incredible?
"Father, is it really so precious?"
Freeman took a deep breath and said: "I can only tell you that if this spiritual fruit appears at auction again, I am willing to use 500 million US dollars in exchange for a heavenly fruit!"
Byron was immediately speechless.
Freeman said in a deep voice: "Byron, you go to Yang's house with me tomorrow, and I'll talk to them and buy the spiritual fruit with money!"
"Huh?" Byron was stunned.
"Oh, I just hope they haven't eaten that spiritual fruit yet..."
Freeman sighed.
the next day.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Freeman."
Yang Li said with a smile on her face: "They have already gone out to play. I am really sorry to make your trip in vain."
Looking at the Karl father and son in front of her, Yang Li was not surprised.
When she saw the spirit fruit, she already knew that this spirit fruit would definitely cause a big disturbance in Jinshan City.
Sure enough, the next day.
Freeman took Byron to Yang's house and wanted to ask if the fruit was still there.
But after Freeman saw Yang Li's face, he understood everything.
That spiritual fruit...has been eaten!
Freeman felt regretful.
Why didn't he come over quickly yesterday?
Now that the spiritual fruit has been eaten, it is useless for him to regret it.
Freeman looked at Yang Li's young girl-like face.
He couldn't help but roar in his heart.
Why did you eat that spiritual fruit?
Do you know that people like you don’t deserve to eat?
Only noble people like us are qualified to enjoy the spiritual fruit!
As the head of the Karl family, one of the four major families in Jinshan City, Freeman looks down on other people.
In his opinion, except for the four major families, everyone else is inherently inferior.
What qualifications does such a person have to eat spiritual fruit?
Byron, who was on the side, saw Yang Li's face.
He was completely dumbfounded.
That Yingling Fruit can really extend your life.
Let me tell you who feels deeply.
That must be Byron.
Because he just met Yang Li yesterday.
Now he seems to be a different person.
Byron knew very well that this was definitely not the result of the cosmetics, because no matter how good the cosmetics were, the effect could not reach this level.
Only a true return to old age can achieve this step.
Although Freeman was very unwilling.
But as the head of the Karl family, he manages his expression very well.
Since this spiritual fruit has been eaten.
Then it would be useless to vent his anger on Yang Li.
Freeman wanted to find the source of this spiritual fruit.
That is, Jiang Hua and Shirley Yang who provided the spiritual fruit.
Maybe they have a second spiritual fruit? !
Therefore, Freeman proposed to meet Jiang Hua.
It's a pity that Jiang Hua and Shirley Yang went out to play early in the morning.
Even Yang Li doesn't know where she is now.
"Oh, that's such a shame."
Freeman smiled and said: "Mrs. Yang, let's leave first..."
Under Yang Li's gaze.
Two members of the Carr family got into a car and left in a hurry.
"Crack!"
After Freeman got into the car, his expression suddenly darkened.
Then he slapped Byron.
Byron looked at his father with a hint of disbelief.
Why did my father hit me?
Did I do something wrong?
"Do you know why I beat you?"
Freeman no longer had the calm face he had before.
Byron said a little aggrievedly: "Father, have I done anything wrong?"
"Do you know what the Yingling Fruit represents to our Karl family?"
Freeman said angrily: "As long as we can obtain that spiritual fruit, the ancestor of our Karl family can extend his life span for ten years. As long as he is still in that position, our Karl family will never decline."
"Now all is gone."
"Now the spirit fruit has been eaten by that damn woman. If you had rushed back to the family as soon as possible yesterday and told me about this matter, maybe we would have rushed to the Yang family long ago and bought the spirit fruit in advance. Down.”
Byron said a little aggrievedly: "Father, will the Yang family sell the spiritual fruit to us?"
Freeman sneered and said: "As long as she sees this spirit fruit, the Yang family will not even think about taking it. With the means of our four major families, there are many ways to make her hand over the spirit fruit obediently."
Freeman sighed,
"Alas, it's too late now, but we still have a chance. Your Majesty, Feng, will send people to find Shirley Yang and the others, and then tell me their whereabouts as soon as possible."
"Yes, Father, I understand."
Byron nodded, and then he asked with some doubts, "But do they have a second spiritual fruit?"
Freeman shook his head and said: "I don't know either."
"I can only give it a try."
The Karl family sent people to search for Jiang Hua throughout Jinshan City. But who is Jiang Hua?
How could he be found so easily?
After noticing someone was following me.
Jiang Hua and Shirley Yang got rid of them easily.
Later, Jiang Hua became aware of it.
It is already impossible for the Karl family to discover their traces.
The two of them wandered around Jinshan City for two days.
On the third day.
Sotheby's auction begins.
Jiang Hua and Shirley Yang walked into the auction.
This foreign auction is somewhat different from the Crescent Hotel auction.
The auction at the Crescent Hotel was divided into private rooms and lobby guests.
All guests must be reviewed by the Crescent Hotel before they are eligible to enter the Crescent Hotel.
Even if the people sitting in the hall don't have a millionaire, they are not qualified to be invited in.
And this Sotheby's auction.
It has a ring structure.
There is a stage in the middle.
The auction exhibition is held above.
And not all of the people sitting around are rich.
There are also many ordinary middle-class families.
They only need to pay some ticket money to come in and watch this auction feast.
Only seats in the front closest to the stage.
It's the rich people who are invited in.
These people are the main force of the auction.
Jiang Hua and Shirley Yang, as representatives of the Yang Group, are naturally qualified to be invited here.
The Yang Group is worth tens of billions.
Even among the many rich people, they are still among the top ones.
Second only to the top forces such as the four major families.
"Let's go, our seats are over there."
Jiang Hua held a golden invitation.
He took Shirley Yang to the seat in front.
I saw Shirley Yang appearing, on the front seat, among the Karl family.
Byron recognized Shirley Yang and Jiang Hua at a glance.
He quickly said to Freeman: "Father, Shirley and her boyfriend showed up."
Freeman's eyes flashed.
"Byron, let's go over and talk to him immediately."
"Ah? Are you going now?" Byron was stunned for a moment.
"Well, Byron, you must understand in your heart that the value of a spiritual fruit is more precious than all the items in this auction." Freeman said seriously.
Under the gaze of everyone, Freeman took Byron to the seats in the second row.
And sat next to Jiang Hua.
Seeing this scene, the people nearby were stunned for a moment.
At this Sotheby's auction, the seating arrangements are naturally meaningful.
The first row is exclusively for top forces such as the four major families.
In the second row are some wealthy companies worth tens of billions.
An old man with a white beard couldn't help but frown slightly when he saw this scene.
"Freeman...what does he want to do?"
This old man with a white beard is also the head of the Philemon family, one of the four major families.
Not far from him, there was also a middle-aged man who frowned.
He is the head of the Broad family among the four major families.
And the last family of the four major families.
The head of the Pearson family.
It was a woman wearing a red dress.
Carr family.
Philemon family.
The Broad family.
Pearson family.
The four major families in Jinshan City.
It's all here.
"Introduce yourself. I am the head of the Carl family. You can call me Freeman." Freeman introduced himself with a smile on his face.
"Oh." Jiang Hua said nonchalantly: "What's the matter?"
Freeman smiled and said, "Young man, I am Byron's father."
"Oh? Do you want to call an army to investigate?"
"Of course not. I'm very sorry for your previous conflict, and I also hope that we can make a friend."
"If you have anything to say, just tell me."
Jiang Hua was too lazy to argue with him.
Freeman's face froze, and then he continued to smile: "Young man, I heard that you have a spiritual fruit on your body. I wonder if you can sell one to us?"
"You want spiritual fruit?"
"Yes."
"Our Carl family is very sincere."
Freeman smiled and said: "As long as you can bring out the spiritual fruit, you can make a price."
Jiang Hua frowned slightly.
He had wanted to refuse.
But suddenly something moved in my heart, and I suddenly had an idea.
Thinking of this, Jiang Hua showed a regretful expression on his face and sighed: "Oh, it's a pity. The only spiritual fruit has been used as a betrothal gift for me to marry Shirley."
"Byron must have told you about this, right?"
The only spiritual fruit?
Freeman asked with some unwillingness to give up.
"Do you really have no other spiritual fruits?"
"Uh, by the way, what's your name?"
Freeman's mouth twitched.
"Freeman."
"Oh, Freeman.
Jiang Hua sighed slightly: "Since you know the existence of the spirit fruit, you must also know how precious it is. In order to successfully marry Shirley, I spent a very high price in exchange for a spirit fruit."
Freeman was a little reluctant, "Is there really no second one?"
"Well..." Jiang Hua hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes, I don't have any anymore."
Freeman frowned.
He saw the hesitation on Jiang Hua's face.
Freeman was overjoyed. Is there really a second spiritual fruit?
Thinking of this, Freeman immediately said: "Young man, as long as you sell the spiritual fruit to me, I can pay you 100 million US dollars directly!"
$100 million?
Jiang Hua sneered in his heart.
How about sending a beggar away at this price?
With just this little money, you want to buy a spiritual fruit?
