Li Moxuan was the leading figure in Lin'an City's antique world and also the owner of the Ink Pavilion. He was quite reputable in the antique circles of Lin'an City and naturally, this antique auction was initiated by him.

Usually, Li Moxuan lived a reclusive life, leading a very leisurely existence, and it was rare for anyone to see him.

Today, hosting such an auction, he originally just wanted to observe how the event would unfold since the participants were all prominent figures from various sectors in Lin'an City. He felt it necessary to pay attention.

But it was precisely because of this attention that he noticed Zhou Huchen's arrogant and reckless attempt to disrupt the event, as if he was aiming to take down the Ink Pavilion's reputation.

Though Zhou Huchen hadn't explicitly expressed this, his actions conveyed this intention!

Under such circumstances, Li Moxuan could no longer sit still. At this moment, he decided to stand up personally and confront this President Zhou Huchen of Dongdao Group!

Upon hearing his name, Zhou Huchen narrowed his eyes slightly, then slowly turned around, looking at Li Moxuan before him and said, "Who are you!?"

In his words, Zhou Huchen's voice was low, giving off a subtle sense of oppression.

Had it not been for his earlier rash behavior, Zhou Huchen might have seemed someone not to be underestimated.

But now, in Lu Yu's eyes, Zhou Huchen was simply a complete fool!

"I am the owner of the Ink Pavilion, Li Moxuan!"

Hearing Zhou Huchen's words, Li Moxuan coldly replied, "Since President Zhou doubts the authenticity of our auction items from the Ink Pavilion, may I ask, can you yourself ascertain the authenticity of this sword?"

As he spoke, Li Moxuan repeated his earlier question, his eyes fixed intensely on Zhou Huchen standing before him.

"Of course, I can!"

Upon hearing Li Moxuan's words, Zhou Huchen replied with full confidence, "I've said that the genuine Rope-Curled Sword is kept by a friend of mine who cherishes it deeply. I've seen this sword more than once, so I can distinguish its authenticity at a glance!"

In his speech, Zhou Huchen's words were lofty and confident!

In his view, the genuine Rope-Curled Sword should be in the hands of Gu Yanzhou. Unless Gu Yanzhou is dead and the weapon was taken from him, the Rope-Curled Sword could absolutely not be in this auction!

However, after hearing Zhou Huchen's confident words, the smile on Lu Yu's face became even brighter.

Now, in his heart, Lu Yu silently pondered, if Zhou Huchen knew this Rope-Curled Sword was the real one, what expression should he have?

"Very well!"

After hearing Zhou Huchen's words, Li Moxuan decisively responded, looking at Zhou Huchen, "In that case, why don't you join me on stage, and let's examine this sword under the scrutiny of our three authoritative experts at the Ink Pavilion to see if it's fake!"

Though a low-key person, Li Moxuan was not one to avoid conflict. With Zhou Huchen stepping on his toes, he naturally wouldn't be polite!

"Let's see, then! There's nothing to fear!"

Upon hearing Li Moxuan's words, Zhou Huchen boomed, his voice resonating with a tone suggesting ruggedness, and started making his way toward the exhibition stage.

"Wait!"

Seeing Zhou Huchen's manner, Li Moxuan spoke again, "President Zhou, let me declare in advance, if this sword is a fake, we at the Ink Pavilion will revoke our brand and apologize without reservation!"

"However!"

At this point, Li Moxuan paused, shifted his tone, and looked at Zhou Huchen, "If this sword is genuine, what will you do?"

His words were sharp and aggressive, projecting an air of experience in the business world!

Zhou Huchen's actions in disrupting his event were no different from publicly slapping him in the face in front of many business elites.

So, this matter could not end easily!

"If this sword is genuine, I will buy it at twenty times the auction price and apologize to your Ink Pavilion!"

Upon hearing Li Moxuan's words, Zhou Huchen boldly declared, showing his grand spirit and unwavering confidence!

In Zhou Huchen's mind, the genuine sword was in the possession of Gu Yanzhou. As long as Gu Yanzhou lived, the sword would never go to auction; it simply couldn't be real!

It was this belief that allowed him to offer such an exorbitant price!

Twenty times the price!

Hearing this, the gathered tycoons collectively gasped. The starting price of the Rope-Curled Sword was fifteen million, and at twenty times, that equated to three hundred million!

Foolishly, Lu Yu couldn't help but smile slightly!

He was the seller of the Rope-Curled Sword. If the sword were sold for three hundred million, all the money would be his, and he only needed to pay the Ink Pavilion a fifteen percent commission!

So, on the surface, it seemed like Li Moxuan and Zhou Huchen were confronting each other, but in reality, they were working to Lu Yu's benefit!

Upon hearing this, Lu Yu indeed smiled.

He was now certain that the sword was genuinely authentic, as he had personally taken it from Gu Yanzhou!

Once this truth was revealed, the three hundred million would be his!

Even Lu Yu hadn't expected that while he was trying to lure out the head of the Dongdao Group, he would encounter such a fortunate event!

Three hundred million, that was undoubtedly a fortune!

"Bravo! President Zhou, your boldness is commendable!"

Upon hearing Zhou Huchen's words, Li Moxuan enthusiastically replied, his words bearing a tone of gravity, "Then let's speak on stage!"

With these words, both Zhou Huchen and Li Moxuan walked toward the podium at the forefront of the hall, appearing rather serious from a glance.

Now, everyone's gaze was fixated on Li Moxuan and Zhou Huchen, eager to see what would happen next.

Among them, only Lu Yu watched these two with a calm demeanor, his eyes filled with a faint smile.

If Zhou Huchen and Li Moxuan knew that after all their arguments, the benefits would go to Lu Yu, who knows what they would think.

Thinking of this, Lu Yu's lips curled into a small smile as he quietly observed Zhou Huchen and Li Moxuan, curious to see how Zhou Huchen's expression would change next.

With this thought, Lu Yu raised his eyes, gazing toward the stage.
