Versatile Mage: Soul and Demon Dual Cultivation.

Chapter 470 Zhao Family
After a heavy rain, flowers bloomed in many parts of Egypt, a rare sight, considering it is a desert country!

After gathering with the rest of the National Government team, Lin Chen sold all the resources he had acquired during this period, including the two bounties, and handed them all over to Mu Ningxue.

"You've already given me so much, I can't accept this!" Mu Ningxue pushed Lin Chen's hand away and said.

Lin Chen said with a smile, "Don't overthink it. Consider this money my betrothal gift to Uncle Mu! Once the Mu family prospers, I'm counting on you to bring back a hefty dowry!"

"Who wants to marry you? You're so annoying!" Mu Ningxue said sweetly, her fair face blushing.
"I hate you, but you have to marry me whether you want to or not!" Lin Chen said with a slight raise of his eyebrows.

Mu Ningxue gave a soft snort and ignored Lin Chen, quickly returning to her residence!
Over the next few days, the team took a short break. Lin Chen spent his days strolling around with Mu Ningxue and the other two girls, and his evenings cultivating with them. Of course, Lin Chen didn't forget to balance work and rest, and he made sure to have some activities. He even played games with the three girls!

Lin Chen and the three women, Mu Ningxue and Mu Ningxue, only appeared before everyone after everyone had rested!
……

Upon arriving in Venice, this city built on water possesses a spirituality unmatched by any other city in the world. The medieval bell towers, churches, and painted buildings that can be seen everywhere instantly transport you to the history of Europe, as if you have arrived in another world!
Venice has no cars, not even bicycles; the only means of transportation are boats and a group of black gondolas.

Therefore, the air in Venice is very fresh. If it weren't for his inability to adapt to a foreign country, Lin Chen would have liked to stay here for a long time!

The gondola's design is very Venetian. Its spine is concave, and its arms and head have upturned sharp bones. When it lies completely on the water with half of its body submerged in the sea, it perfectly cosplays a crescent-shaped boat, which can accommodate four or five people.

These gondolas can be considered Venice's taxis. Of course, they are specially trained and driven by dedicated personnel, and can take tourists and locals anywhere in Venice, even for boat trips!
After everyone arrived, Jiang Shaoxu excitedly pulled Lin Chen, Mu Ningxue, and Mu Nujiao to experience it for themselves.

Lin Chen naturally did not refuse, after all, he had never ridden in such a "taxi" before, and it would be nice to experience it!

The driver was a very outgoing person, and along the way he told Lin Chen and the others about all the good food and tourist attractions in Venice...

"If you're going to the Saint-Maurice Hall of Fame, it's not far across this waterway. The competition between the world's top universities is about to begin, and people are flocking to this small town. I think my business will be even better!" the driver said with a smile after they arrived.

As he spoke, he handed Lin Chen a business card, indicating that he would be happy to help if Lin Chen needed a "chartered car"!

Lin Chen naturally wouldn't refuse and immediately accepted it!
……

Once ashore, St. Mark's Square comes into view, and the magnificent St. Mark's World Auction House is also visible, with two winged lions guarding the entrance to the cathedral, looking solemn and majestic!

Jiang Shaoxu and her two daughters walked toward the auction with great interest, their faces beaming with bright smiles. Under the sunlight, each of them exuded charm!

Just then, a familiar figure appeared before Lin Chen and the others! "Zhao Manyan!!!" As soon as they stepped into the main hall, they heard a handsome man wearing beach shorts and sunglasses walking towards Zhao Manyan.

Beach shorts and flip-flops—this simple and stylish outfit seemed somewhat out of place in this solemn setting, though the high-end sunglasses added a touch of sophistication.

"Brother, you're so busy, yet you still made a special trip to pick me up!" Zhao Manyan said excitedly as he looked at the man in sunglasses.

However, before Zhao Manyan could finish speaking, the man in sunglasses raised his eyebrows and said, "What are you doing here, kid?"

Upon seeing this, some memories immediately flashed through Lin Chen's mind. Zhao Manyan's situation could be described as a battle for inheritance among the wealthy!
"I told you I was coming, don't you ever check your messages?" Zhao Manyan said, somewhat speechless.

"Oh, I didn't really care. Speaking of which, weren't you sent to another country by your father for training? What are you doing here? Let me tell you, it's no use hiding here from me if you've done something shameful. I'm busy, I don't have time to care about you. You're worth hundreds of millions every minute, you know that?" The man in sunglasses spoke rapidly.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Manyan became extremely angry and immediately started arguing with the man in sunglasses.

Upon seeing this, Ai Jiangtu and the others, who were not far away, decided to go and wander around somewhere else. After all, it was their private matter, and it would be better not to meddle.

Lin Chen said to the three women beside him, Jiang Shaoxu, "You guys go shopping with them. Zhao Manyan and I are going to ask about something!"

The three women didn't say much, just nodded gently. Shopping is a woman's favorite thing, and even without Lin Chen's company, they could still enjoy it!

At this moment, Zhao Manyan had finished chatting with the man in sunglasses and introduced him and Mo Fan. Lin Chen's goal was simple: soul seeds. Although he and Mu Ningxue did not lack soul seeds, who would complain about having too many good things?
After returning to China this time, he no longer intends to keep a low profile. Since he still controls the entire Asuka City, he will inevitably step into the limelight.

Before long, another maritime disaster will strike. Even if we train our subordinates, resources will be indispensable!
Zhao Youqian, the man in sunglasses, said no more; he didn't want to be laughed at by outsiders.

Although Zhao Manyan was unhappy, he seemed to have gotten used to it long ago, so he had no choice but to bring Lin Chen and Mo Fan into the Saint Mark World Auction Hall.

Those who hold shares in the St. Mark's World Auction Hall are truly world-class billionaires. One of the most important reasons why the Zhao family is known as the wealthiest family in China is that they hold a significant share in the St. Mark's World Auction Hall. In fact, they have a presence in auctions all over the world.

"Your brother is really something!" Mo Fan finally couldn't help but laugh!

Zhao Manyan said helplessly, "It's been like this since I was a child. I'm invisible to him. To be honest, I was a little surprised that he could recognize me from so far away. This guy only cares about money. If I say even half a word to him, he'll think I'm interfering with his money-making!!!"
