The Most Powerful Bodyguard-Chapter 821: Underestimated

"Hehe! Don't be jealous of him. Actually, you're pretty good too."

Zhou Hanyun said with a smile:

"Although I don't know what tricks you've pulled, I know that the current you isn't the real you."

"Just like the last time at the banquet in the Imperial Capital. You were quite outstanding back then, unforgettable to this day."

Upon hearing Zhou Hanyun's words, Yang Yan instantly felt much better inside.

He said with a smile:

"Not bad, our Hanyun does have an eye for things, unlike others who are so superficial and only see the surface."

Zhou Hanyun's cheeks turned red, and she said coyly:

"Who's your Hanyun?"

Her shy demeanor was just caught by Casimond, who was standing behind them.

A mysterious smile immediately appeared at the corner of his mouth.

At that moment, the passionate voice of the host echoed on stage again.

"Next, we will present to you a pendant designed by Mr. Casimond himself."

"This pendant is different from others; it's set with a single, complete pink diamond."

"Not to mention that it's designed by the genius designer Casimond, even the raw material alone makes this pendant a rare treasure."

"The base price for this beautiful jewelry is ten million US dollars, with each bid increment no less than a hundred thousand US dollars."

Yang Yan squinted at the pink diamond jewelry displayed on stage and said with a smile to Zhou Hanyun beside him:

"This is the pink diamond from earlier, isn't it? I'll buy it for you."

Originally staring intently at the pendant on stage, Zhou Hanyun quickly shook her head when she heard this:

"There's no need. It's too expensive, and it's not practical."

"Aside from keeping it in a home safe, it's basically unwearable."

Yang Yan chuckled lightly and said nonchalantly:

"Haha, you don't need to worry about that. As long as you like it, nothing is a problem. Twenty million US dollars!"

When Yang Yan directly doubled the price, the others in the room turned to look at him.

Upon seeing an unfamiliar Asian face, everyone's curiosity piqued even more, leading to a buzz of whispering discussions.

"Hmph! Only twenty million, what's the big deal? I'll offer forty million!"

An annoying voice suddenly sounded from beside Yang Yan.

"How about it, got a competitor now?"

Kashu, standing beside Yang Yan, nudged him, gloatingly saying.

"Hehe! Just a clown, does he even qualify to be my competitor?"

Yang Yan said dismissively, curling his lips.

As the man called out forty million, the entire venue went into an uproar.

Even Casimond glanced at the man intentionally or unintentionally.

The bidding man seemed to enjoy the attention, proudly glancing at Yang Yan.

That expression seemed to say, "Kid, go ahead and raise the price if you can."

"Eighty million."

Yang Yan glanced at the smug guy, then raised his glass of champagne with a smile as a gesture.

This kind of demeanor naturally appeared as blatant provocation in the eyes of the other party.

Silence—

Hearing Yang Yan's bid, the people in the room were stunned.

The pink diamond was indeed valuable, but definitely not worth the sky-high price of eighty million US dollars.

"Honorable sir, are you sure your eighty million bid is serious?" 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Even the host on stage was somewhat stunned at this moment.

This price far exceeded their expectations.

In their view, this diamond should have topped out around sixty million.

"What's the matter? Isn't it allowed to bid high at your place?"

Yang Yan looked at the host with a smile and asked slowly.

"It's not that, but..."

The host didn't finish speaking, instead turning his gaze to a man nearby who seemed to be in his fifties or sixties.

After carefully observing Yang Yan, the man shook his head slightly.

"Haha! Snubbed, huh? They don't believe you can come up with eighty million!"

Kashu said with a grin, looking schadenfreude-like.

"Believe it or not, it's up to them. But I am determined to have this diamond."

Yang Yan ignored the reactions of those on stage, took a small sip of champagne, and turned to Zhou Hanyun with a smile.

"Why are you buying that? That diamond isn't worth that much money."

Zhou Hanyun looked at Yang Yan, frowning as she spoke.

Although she liked the jewelry, she didn't want Yang Yan to throw money away.

Yang Yan continued to smile and said lightly:

"It's nothing, as long as you like it. After all, it's just money, and you know I don't lack it."

The people on stage continued to whisper amongst themselves, and Yang Yan wasn't interested in their conversation topics.

However, he could easily imagine that these people probably didn't trust him.

Most people present likely thought he was just causing trouble and couldn't possibly afford that amount.

"I'm very sorry, sir, may I ask who invited you here? We don't have your information."

The host coughed awkwardly twice, asking somewhat apologetically.

It's no wonder he had such an expression.

As a host, questioning like this was already extremely rude.

In such a setting, publicly saying they don't recognize the guest almost equates to denying the person's identity and status.

"Haha! Truly a bunch of snobs."

"If they knew your true identity, do you think they'd be scared to death?"

Kashu looked at the people on stage as if they were idiots, mocking them.

"So, it turned out to be an unknown little guy!"

"Someone like you, bidding eighty million? Are you sure you're not drunk or high?"

The man beside Yang Yan put away his surprised look from earlier and looked at him teasingly.

Hearing these people mock Yang Yan so sarcastically, even Zhou Hanyun couldn't stand it anymore.

She glanced at the man beside her, then turned to the host on stage and said coldly:

"He's the owner of Zhou's Jewelry. What, does everyone who comes here need to be known by you?"

This statement once again sparked a whisper among the crowd.

Seeing this, Yang Yan's expression started to show some impatience.

"Sorry, could you please provide proof of your assets to confirm you can come up with eighty million to buy this jewelry?"

"Otherwise, considering the scale of your Zhou's Jewelry, we don't think you can come up with eighty million."

The host on stage bowed apologetically to Yang Yan and Zhou Hanyun.

However, the words he said were full of sarcasm.

"You..."

Just as Zhou Hanyun wanted to refute, Yang Yan pulled her back and gently shook his head at her.
