CHAPTER 369: CHAPTER 349: PROVOKING TOKUGAWA RUI

Just as Jiang Ruan was about to speak up to stop Bao Ye, the person opposite suddenly increased the bid.

It was the second son of that certain family.

Blue eyes, mixed race.

And it was an increase of ten million.

Jiang Ruan couldn’t understand him, but the big screen clearly showed an increase of ten million.

The crowd gasped in shock.

All sorts of murmurs arose.

No one expected this five-carat diamond ring to reach such a high price of eighty million.

Even the host himself was stunned, looking over at Tokugawa Rui in shock.

Are you crazy?

The Charles family has been suffering losses these past two years.

Can they afford for a bastard to spend eighty million so casually?

The black man widened his eyes, nervously addressing Tokugawa Rui, who held up the sign: "Second young master, don’t be impulsive. What’s the use of this broken ring to us? It’s eighty million."

Tokugawa Rui scoffed disdainfully, full of confidence: "Do you think I’m that kind of fool?"

"Watch, the other side will definitely raise the bid again."

The black man was curious: "Why are you so sure?"

The black man, nervous: "What if they don’t raise the bid? Then we’ll have to buy this ring for eighty million. The auction rules are clear that once you participate, you can’t regret it."

"Second young master, if the head of the family finds out you spent eighty million on a ring, he will be furious."

Tokugawa Rui hated being pressured by his family more than anything. He glared darkly at the black man.

"You don’t believe in my judgment?"

"I’ve already told you, they will definitely raise the bid. Don’t threaten me with that old fool. Otherwise, get lost and go serve him."

Hearing that Tokugawa Rui was angry, the black man immediately backed down: "I was wrong, second young master."

"Please don’t be angry."

In his heart, he muttered, he’s just a small tribal leader, not much of a figure in South Africa.

Not worthy of the head of the family’s attention.

He had already gone through a lot to even reach the second young master.

When there was no response from the other side for a while, the black man couldn’t contain his curiosity and asked Tokugawa Rui: "Second young master, how do you know they’re definitely going to increase the bid?"

"Because that man likes that woman, to be precise, they are in love with each other," Tokugawa Rui’s blue eyes narrowed, snorting: "But what good is love? Love is the cheapest thing in this world. Didn’t you see the way that man looked at her? If I’m not mistaken, those Buddha Beads were given to the man by that woman, three million without a blink. Clearly, they aren’t short of money."

"This ring, the man is spending so much money because that woman likes it."

"If he can’t even afford what his woman likes, then the man is either a pretty face, a pauper, but I doubt it. From what I see of him, the man isn’t a simple character."

The black man listened, feeling a sigh in his heart.

Unexpectedly, the second young master analyzed it so thoroughly.

"Second young master, just after meeting them once, you can see so much. You’re amazing!"

"Stop flattering me." Tokugawa Rui smiled, a cruel smile at the corner of his lips: "The sweeter they are, the more I want to break them up. I want to see what the man feels when the woman kisses me in my arms."

As he spoke, the other side indeed raised the bid.

But not much.

One million.

Which is eighty-one million.

Tokugawa Rui sneered disdainfully: "Only a million and you want to compete with me? How disgraceful."

"Does he expect me to stop competing with just a million as an excuse?"

The black man was just about to speak.

At this time, a bodyguard arrived.

He was stopped before he could get close, speaking standard South African dialect: "Second young master, I’m the bodyguard from the opposite side. Our president asked me to convey a message to you."

Hearing this, Tokugawa Rui and the black man exchanged a glance.

Tokugawa Rui’s eyes were smiling, but not reaching the bottom, playing with a ruby-encrusted knife handle in his hand: "Let him come over."

The bodyguard came over.

Tokugawa Rui’s knife blade was casually pointed at him.

The bodyguard had sharp eyes and noticed it clearly.

But he showed no hint of retreat or fear, standing tall and straight, clearly someone trained rigorously.

"Our president says he is determined to get the ring, so Second Young Master shouldn’t waste his effort."

"Besides, with the current strength of the Charles family, even eighty million might..."

The bodyguard hadn’t finished speaking.

Tokugawa Rui’s knife flew directly towards him.

Aiming right at his forehead.

Tokugawa Rui was openly committing an assault!

The bodyguard was startled, reflexively dodging.

It happened both slow and fast.

In the blink of an eye, with a "clang," that ruby-handled knife was embedded in a mahogany seat not far behind the bodyguard.

The seat was occupied, and the sudden knife throw scared them into a shriek: "Ah."

Scared the wits almost out of them.

Upon seeing it was Tokugawa Rui who had thrown the knife handle.

They became angry instantly.

Standing up and cursing: "Tokugawa Rui, are you crazy? Daring to throw a knife at me."

Tokugawa Rui glanced at the person, not caring in the least, laughing disdainfully.

He then said to the bodyguard: "Consider yourself lucky."

"I have something to tell your master as well."

Tokugawa Rui sat up straight, shedding that casual demeanor, but with an evil smile hanging on his lips,

word by word: "Tell him, his woman, I, Tokugawa Rui, have my eyes on her."

The bodyguard was shocked, out of loyalty, immediately retorted.

"You’re dreaming!"

Daring to covet Mr. Bao’s woman.

Truly ignorant of life’s perils.

Tokugawa Rui laughed loudly: "Dream or not, just wait and see."

The bodyguard couldn’t be bothered with him and turned to leave.

Just as he turned around, Tokugawa Rui raised the bid.

The bodyguard’s eyes lit up.

Intuition told him Tokugawa Rui had fallen into the trap.

Just now, when Mr. Bao sent him over to say these words, the bodyguard couldn’t figure it out, but now he suddenly understood.

It turns out Mr. Bao intentionally provoked Tokugawa Rui.

To make him raise the bid.

And Tokugawa Rui didn’t disappoint Mr. Bao, not only taking the bait but also raising it by five million.

A five-carat diamond ring.

From the initial few million, now to eighty-five million.

Spread out, it’s enough to set the diamond world abuzz.

Tokugawa Rui was full of confidence, this war initiated by him, but the one opposite had clearly joined in.

Hence, it wouldn’t end easily.

But what he could never have imagined was.

Two minutes had passed since he raised the bid.

And the other side suddenly went silent.

Instead, they started showing off their love.

Tokugawa Rui glared viciously at Bao Ye holding Jiang Ruan, actually feeding her grapes.

How could he not realize he’d been fooled?

Want to scheme against Tokugawa Rui?

Dream on!

The black man panicked: "Second young master, they..."

"Shut up!"

Tokugawa Rui had an idea: "Go tell him, I am determined to get the ring, and I want his woman too. He isn’t worthy to compete with me, Tokugawa Rui!"
