Ye Feng then played with Old Master Fuuma and Fuuma Jianwu for a while. When he returned to the hotel, it was already past three in the afternoon.

When Cheng Fei’er saw that he had returned, she heaved a sigh of relief. “Why are you back so late? I thought you were already…”

She was wearing an army green combat uniform with a bulge at her waist. It looked like a pistol.

“Are you going to avenge me?” Ye Feng could not help but tease.

Cheng Fei’er took out the military knife from her boots and threw it on the table. She sat down on the sofa. “Who wants to avenge you? It would be better if you died in the Fuuma family. Who asked you to seduce their daughter?”

Ye Feng sat down beside her, crossing his legs. “Sorry to disappoint you, not only did I not die, I even gained a lot.”

After saying that, he threw the token of the Fuuma family onto the coffee table.

Cheng Fei’er took it and looked at it curiously. “What is this?”

Ye Feng then briefly explained the trial of the Fuuma family. “With this token, 1 have the authority to command the Fuuma family three times. Of course, I only have two left.”

Cheng Fei’er was dumbfounded. Ye Fengs experience today was too interesting. If it was anyone else, they would probably brag about it.

However, this guy only described it casually. There was no smugness on his face, as if he had done something trivial.

“With the help of the Fuuma family, our mission will be much easier.” Suppressing the shock in her heart, she immediately spoke happily.

She was still worried about the next mission. Compared to Niu Sidun, who was in the dark, their strength was indeed much weaker.

Now that the Fuuma family had joined them, they could finally feel more at ease.

Just as Ye Feng was about to discuss with her about their next plan, his phone suddenly rang. He took it out and saw that it was Lin Qianqian calling.

“Hey, Qianqian, what’s wrong?”

“Ye Feng, where are you now?” As soon as the call connected, Lin Qianqian’s anxious voice was heard.

“I’m at the hotel. What’s the matter?” Ye Feng was puzzled. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“‘The auction Will be held tomorrow, but you need to verity the capital before you can qualify for the auction. However, the auction house suddenly raised the entry requirements. I don’t have enough funds with me. Can you come over now?” He could tell that she was so anxious that she was about to cry.

“Don’t be anxious. How much money does the other party need to enter?” Ye Feng comforted her before asking back.

“They said that they need at least 10 billion Japanese dollars, and they only accept Japanese dollars. I only brought about 6 billion…” Lin Qianqian briefly explained the situation.

After hearing this, Ye Feng felt relieved.

10 billion Japanese dollars sounded scary, but in fact, it was only about 500 million Chinese yuan. The threshold was not particularly high.

However, the other party only accepted Japanese currency, which was indeed a little tricky.

If he wanted to transfer funds from China and then exchange them for Japanese currency, it would probably take at least a few days.

There was definitely not enough time.

However, he had to rush over now. He couldn’t let a girl face the matter of his antique shop alone.

“Wait there first. I’ll be right there.”

After saying that, he hung up the phone and said a few more words to Cheng Fei’er before getting up and leaving.

The hall of the Sakikawa Auction House was already crowded with people. They were all from the world’s major museum and antique shops, as well as some particularly powerful individual collectors.

Tomorrow was the day of the auction of Qiandao Sen’s collection. Today, they needed to verify the capital. Only those who proved that they had enough funds would be qualified to enter.

Previously, the Sakikawa Auction House had said that they only needed five billion Japanese dollars to get the right to enter the auction.

However, when everyone came to verify the capital today, the auction house suddenly announced that the capital threshold had been raised to 10 billion.

This was like a bolt from the blue for many people.

“Isn’t your auction house too unreliable? Didn’t they say 5 billion before? Why did it suddenly become 10 billion?”

“That’s right. We only prepared 5 billion. Now that you’re suddenly raising the threshold, where do you expect us to get the remaining 5 billion?”

“How can you change the rules of such a big auction house? Why didn’t you inform everyone in advance?”

“Your auction house must give everyone a satisfactory explanation today…”

Many agency representatives and collectors blocked the staff at the door in anger.

Lin Qianqian was naturally among them, and her face was filled with indignation.

It was already past 4 0’clock, and the capital verification would end at 5 o’clock.

This was also the reason why everyone was anxious.

Those who could attend the auction were all very powerful. They would definitely be able to take out 10 billion yuan.

However, not everyone could raise the remaining 5 billion in just an hour.

“Everyone, please calm down. Please listen to my explanation.”

At this moment, a man in his fifties suddenly spoke.

This person was about 1.6 meters tall. He was not ugly, but for some reason, when he smiled, he gave off a wretched feeling.

In addition, he had a Mediterranean hairstyle, which made him look even more disgusting.

However, everyone still quieted down, waiting for him to give an explanation.

“I’m the manager of the Sakikawa Auction House. My name is Shigeru Akita. We’ve just received a notice from the higher-ups that we have to raise the entry fee. There’s nothing we can do about it.” The man had a professional fake smile on his face as he explained to everyone.

However, his words clearly could not quell the public’s anger.

“We don’t have any objections to you raising the capital threshold, but this is too sudden.’

“Yeah, we didn’t get any notice in advance. Now that you’ve suddenly raised the funding threshold, where are we going to raise the money?”

“How about this? We won’t make things difficult for you. You can raise the capital threshold, but you have to give us two days to raise the money.”

“That’s right. There’s only one hour left for the capital verification. We can’t gather so much money at all.”

“You must give us a few more days…”

The manager named Shigeru Akita smiled at everyone. He waited for everyone to lower their voices before continuing.

“I’m really sorry. The capital verification will only end at 5 0’clock this afternoon. If the capital verification is not completed by then, I can only say sorry.”

When everyone heard his reply, they protested again.

“How can you do things like this? Isn’t it obvious that we’re not allowed to participate in this auction?”

“Hmph, I think you guys have an internal deal, right? They just want to keep us outside so that you can make private deals.”

“We came all the way from Europe, and we actually received such unfair treatment?”

“This is a scam. If you don’t give us a satisfactory explanation today, we won’t agree…”
