The God of Wealth starts with doing whatever you want

Xu Yun did not allow Yu Xuan to attend the dinner that evening, but instead sent her back to the ship to be with Xinuo.

After all, it doesn't seem right to leave Hino alone on the ship for an extended period of time.

Without Yu Xuan, Xu Yun was more free and unrestrained in her subsequent actions, no longer needing to worry about anything.

Besides, if something were to happen between me and Natasha that night, even if Yu Xuan found out, it would still be somewhat shameless to do it in front of her.

So he sent the other person away.

As the banquet began, Xu Yun and his group of four spent their time wandering around the cruise ship.

However, some areas were clearly guarded and people were not allowed to enter, as they were considered private property.

It seems like there's some secret hidden here.

During their conversation, Xu Yun asked curiously, "How did you get this top-tier VIP status? You come here to gamble all the time?"

"No, I don't come up here very often."

Lin Zhengyu replied, "I don't really like gambling either, but the people here are complicated. I paid for this identity so that I can come up here sometimes to get some information."

After all, the people on this platform are the top individuals from various countries, industries, and fields, who control a large amount of social resources, wealth, and technology.

Sometimes you should understand that what we do in business is information and technology.

Knowing some things in advance helps in preparation.

And with money, you can buy a lot of classified information, including the movements and military intelligence of some countries.

"I see."

Xu Yun asked curiously, "How can I obtain an identity?"

"Internal members are invited, the organizer reviews the applications, and if they are qualified, they are directly awarded the prizes."

Lin Zhengyu said, "Or you can show them that you have enough wealth or social status, and they will take the initiative to invite you."

Then there's the annual membership fee of $100 million.

"This membership fee is a bit expensive."

Xu Yun shook his head: "It's boring."

"Uh, you still care about this little bit of money?"

"My money didn't grow on trees, so I need to be careful with it."

Xu Yun laughed and said, "I'm not like you, a third-generation rich kid. I'm just an ordinary person with so many girlfriends to support."

Lin Zhengyu: "..."

Damn it, why didn't you think of this when you were gambling this afternoon? A yacht worth billions, you just throw it off the boat like that.

Lin Wanzhou and Tang Bo, who were standing to the side, also twitched at the corners of their mouths after hearing Xu Yun's words.

Well, he's showing off again.

As night fell, the ship's lights came on.

The crystal chandeliers inside the cruise ship reflected dazzling light, illuminating the banquet hall as if it were daytime.

Xu Yun and Lin Zhengyu walked in, found a random spot, gently swirled the champagne in their glasses, and their gazes pierced through the crowd, landing on the fiery red figure at the bar.

Natasha was leaning against the edge of the gilded bar, the straps of her long halter dress having somehow slipped down to her arm, outlining a breathtaking curve under the lights.

The other person seemed to notice his gaze and smiled even more charmingly.

Xu Yun turned his head and said, "Don't follow me if you have nothing to do. Go play by yourself."

"You can have fun, but you still need to be careful." Lin Zhengyu glanced into the distance, then turned and left with Tang Bo.

He also had some things to take care of when he came up here.

After Lin Zhengyu left, Natasha appeared beside Xu Yun without him noticing. Her fingertips brushed the rim of the champagne glass in Xu Yun's hand, and she chuckled, "It seems Mr. Xu is more interested in my vodka?"

Xu Yun is lecherous, but he's not brainless.

For safety's sake, he still spent money to have the system scan the other person's entire body discreetly, and immediately obtained the information he wanted.

Yes, he wears a special KGB lie detector ring, and has a miniature communicator embedded in his left ear.

His body was indeed unclean.

Xu Yun didn't expose him; as long as there were no weapons, it was fine.

He reached out and lifted her chin, teasingly saying, "I'm more interested in exotic beauties like you than Futka."

"is it?"

Natasha turned her head, broke free from Xu Yun's hand, and smiled charmingly, "This glass of wine of mine is quite intoxicating. Aren't you afraid of getting drunk, Mr. Xu?"

"I have a nickname among my friends."

Xu Yun countered, "Do you know what it's called?"

"what is it call?"

"Can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk."

"Mr. Xu, you have a good capacity for alcohol."

She should have realized that the man who could easily win 5% of the Park family's shares was definitely not just a lucky nouveau riche.

Moreover, he was a friend brought by Young Master Lin.

Natasha knew a little about Lin Zhengyu's identity; his wealth was far less than his political background, and he was considered a top figure even in a superpower like China.

This is why she chose to take the initiative to approach Xu Yun.

The person he's with probably isn't bad either.

At least through one gambling game in the afternoon, he inadvertently and perfectly demonstrated his wealth and gambling skills.

People who don't play cards regularly won't have this kind of aura.

When she tried to seduce him, the Eastern man remained as still as a block of deep-sea ice, his breathing unchanged.

Yes, he acted like a lecher, but damn it, he didn't seem to have any romantic feelings for me at all.

She hadn't tempted him at all.

Or perhaps, he was able to perfectly control his physical impulses!

A man who can resist the temptation of a beautiful woman is definitely a ruthless person!

"Tell me, what activities are planned for tonight?"

Xu Yun suddenly changed the subject, saying, "If it's just about chatting and drinking with you here, I'm not very interested. I'd rather go back to my ship and sleep."

"Don't worry, Mr. Xu."

Natasha said with a smile, "You Chinese have an old saying, 'The night is long,' so there's still plenty of time. The best things are yet to come."

"Do you know that we also have a saying, 'A moment of spring night is worth a thousand pieces of gold'?"

Xu Yun pouted and said, "My girlfriend is still waiting for me in the room."

"Huh?!~"

Natasha feigned surprise and said, "Isn't Mr. Xu satisfied with me by your side?"

"You don't sleep with me."

"Mr. Xu is really joking."

Natasha paused for a moment, licked her lips, and said softly, "If you really want to, Mr. Xu, I won't refuse even if I get drunk after the event."

After all, I've never met a man as handsome and charming as Mr. Xu.

"Alright, I'll wait and see."

Half an hour later, the activity that Natasha had mentioned finally began.

The huge stage before the banquet began to be set up.

Soon a small auction was held.

"auctions?"

Xu Yun frowned, somewhat surprised.

It's always the same old stuff.

But soon, he discovered something different.

The auctions here, while selling items, are not really about the items themselves, but rather the information that comes with each item.

Furthermore, the intelligence was classified into levels, from S-level all the way to D-level.

So what's being auctioned here is actually intelligence from various countries, organizations, and companies?

Xu Yun asked, "Is the intelligence here accurate?"

“Mr. Xu, our intelligence is absolutely accurate.”

Natasha said confidently, "If the information is wrong, we will not only refund the customer's money in full, but also compensate them for all their losses."

"so smart?"

"Mr. Xu, is there any information you'd like to know?"

Natasha laughed and said, "As long as it's not S-class, I can give you one for free."

"No need, I have my own intelligence system."

Xu Yun looked confidently into her eyes and casually said, "Besides, my intelligence is definitely more accurate than yours."

"I think Mr. Xu was joking."

Natasha retorted somewhat defiantly, "Our intelligence gathering organization is unique in the world; no private organization can compare to us."

"Do not believe?"

Xu Yun laughed and said, "Then I'll give you one for free. Listen to it and see if it's accurate."

"Mr. Xu, please speak."

"I told you, you don't want to kill me, do you?" "Mr. Xu, you're joking."

"Then I'll tell you."

Xu Yun took a sip of champagne and said calmly, "You're not actually called Natasha, are you? Your real name is Ekaterina, you're a major, and your father's name is Ivanov."

"!!!" Ekaterina stared at the man in front of her in shock, somewhat incredulous.

This secret was known to absolutely no one except her and a very few others!
"Miss Ekaterina."

Xu Yun laughed and said, "Don't look at me like that, it scares me."

"Mr. Xu, you're really amazing."

After regaining her composure, Ekaterina resumed her previous expression and said, "It seems that our Black Pearl has met its match. Mr. Xu, don't try to steal my business in the future."

"rest assured."

Xu Yun comforted him, "My intelligence is only for my own use and is not sold to others, so don't be afraid."

While the two were talking, Xu saw that Lin Zhengyu had spent 3000 million to buy a painting, which was actually an A-level intelligence report that seemed to be related to minerals.

Ekaterina, standing to the side, asked curiously, "Mr. Xu, your friends have all made their moves, don't you have anything you want to buy? We always have information you don't know."

"I have no interest in intelligence."

Xu Yun replied, "If there are antiques that I like, I might consider it."

"Perhaps Mr. Xu would be interested in the following item."

Ekaterina's meticulously trimmed eyebrows were raised high.

The banquet hall lights suddenly dimmed, and a spotlight shone on the central display stand.

The host lifted the velvet curtain, revealing a bronze square ding with taotie patterns.

Xu Yun had already exchanged the information, but he never expected that the square cauldron was actually real.

So, does that mean the bronze ding from the mid-Western Zhou Dynasty in the National Palace Museum in Taipei is fake?

"Five million dollars!"

At the scene, an American oil tycoon was the first to raise his paddle.

"$200 million."

Xu Yun suddenly heard Lin Zhengyu's voice.

"$500 million."

A Japanese collector spoke up again, asking for another $300 million.

Lin Zhengyu retorted, not to be outdone: "400 million US dollars!"

"Five million dollars!"

"Five million dollars!"

The Japanese collector gave him a defiant look: "650 million US dollars!"

"Young Master, you can't call him that anymore."

Uncle Tang reminded him, "We don't have enough money left."

"But, damn it..."

Lin Zhengyu glared at the Japanese man and roared, "How could I possibly lose to Little Cabinet!"

"Mr. Lin."

The Japanese collector said smugly, "If you don't bid, this item will be mine."

"Five million dollars!"

Xu Yun suddenly shouted, looking at the Japanese man and cursing, "Damn it, come on, shout again!"

For a moment, the whole place was in an uproar.

Actually, this price isn't too high for an auction of this caliber, but its value far exceeds that of antiques, or even the price itself.

Because of this collectible, the information accompanying it is only classified as B-level.

But Ekaterina, standing to the side, seemed completely unsurprised.

Historically, whenever people from these two countries meet on a ship, they are bound to fight!

The Japanese man hadn't expected another Chinese man to appear and try to take the money from him.

They even added another 1000 million US dollars right off the bat!
He gritted his teeth and shouted, "1050 million US dollars!"

"Five million dollars!"

Xu Yun calmly added more, looking at the other person provocatively: "You dog, do you want to add more?"

This time, he added $500 million!
"Five million dollars!"

The Japanese were enraged and went all in, arrogantly declaring, "I'm taking this item; I'm going to put it on display in our museum."

"That's it? You're a poor bastard!"

Xu Yun scoffed, "3000 million US dollars."

You want to compare money with me?

You're just dancing in front of Guan Yu, a complete clown!
"..."

The Japanese man's face turned blue with anger and he had no choice but to give up.

Because he simply couldn't come up with any more money.

"3000 million, sold!"

The moment the gavel fell, Ekaterina felt a burning hot hand on her waist.

Xu Yun breathed warmly against her earlobe and said meaningfully, "Now, shouldn't we inspect my spoils?"

"Mr. Xu, isn't your spoils on the stage?"

"Do you think I don't know that this was all part of your plan?"

Xu Yun said coldly, "I don't want to waste my 3000 million. With so much extra money, you have to compensate me in some way."

"Then what compensation do you want?"

Ekaterina said seductively, "How about I change your intelligence level to A?"

"No, no, no, I want you."

With that, Xu Yun put his arm around the other person and walked off the field.

Lin Zhengyu walked over and said, "Damn, that was really satisfying! You're the one! But 3000 million is still a huge loss!"

"It's okay, just help me send that thing back to China."

Xu Yun said, "You should be able to donate it to the National Museum."

"it is good."

Lin Zhengyu responded, glanced at Ekaterina, and asked, "No, where are you going?"

"Children shouldn't pry into adults' affairs!"

As he spoke, he put his arm around Ekaterina and led her upstairs to a private room.

Lin Zhengyu: "..."

He called me a child?
If it weren't for the fact that he had stood up for her earlier, she definitely wouldn't have been able to stand it!

For now, let's send this antique back to China first.

With this, the replica in the National Palace Museum in Taipei will soon become a joke, hahaha...

the other side.

Faced with Xu Yun's domineering attitude, Ekaterina wanted to resist, but she found that her body was completely out of her control and she could not fight back.

Now, she was really worried.

She wanted to call for help from her companions, but Xu Yun had somehow thrown away the miniature communicator in her ear.

"Mr. Xu..."

Ekaterina was anxious, but she couldn't show it.

She smiled and said in a negotiating tone, "If you want compensation, I can send other people, I guarantee they'll be just as good as me, you can have as many as you want."

"I think none of them are as good as you."

Ekaterina: “…”

……

Outside the bulletproof glass of the presidential suite, the moonlight over the Strait of Malacca shattered into countless silver scales.

As the moonlight climbed onto Catherine's taut toes, Xu Yun was reciting Pushkin's "To the Sea" in Russian.

The untouched glass of vodka by the bedside reflected the melting ice in her dreamy blue eyes.

At three in the morning, Xu Yun drew the coordinates of the Sevastopol naval port during the Soviet era on the bathroom mirror with his finger. Catherine, who was putting on stockings, suddenly froze.

That was the location where her father traded submarines back then.

See you next time.

Xu Yun chuckled as she buttoned her shirt: "I hope you can be as beautiful as you are today."

“Mr. Xu, you haven’t disappointed me! However…”

With the blush still lingering on her face, Ekaterina recounted the events that had just transpired between the two of them, saying weakly, "I hope Mr. Xu can be gentler next time."

I thought you liked it this way.

Xu Yun said awkwardly, "That's how it's portrayed in my study materials."

Ekaterina: "..." (End of Chapter)
