Chapter 116.1 - The Su Family’s Island (1)
If one were to talk about the Su family, people in the underworld who knew them weren’t many but those who did know were old families with some history.
The Su family was more low-key by nature and did not have any intention of becoming dominating. Another reason was that there were few direct family members of the main line and extended family members would not deliberately mention that they were from the Su family. Thus, there really weren’t many people who had heard of the Su family.
Although it was very normal to not have heard of the Su family, there was almost no one who had not heard of the Dark Dragon Mercenaries under Su Yanmo’s leadership. It could be said that whether it be in terms of the number and quality of the troops or the quality and grade of the equipment, the Dark Dragon Mercenaries definitely took the crown in the mercenaries world. It could even be said that they could rival many countries’ actual armies! This was the Su family’s greatest and largest strength. At the same time, it was also one of their strengths on the surface, known by everyone.
In the underworld, no matter how big of a crime boss they were, they would not dare to not give face to the Dark Dragon Mercenaries. Even the boss of the established Thiers family was no exception.
Lotefa’s expression became a lot more serious and he couldn’t help but to glare at his equally shocked son. He then relaxed his tone and said to Su Yanyi: “If my son offended Miss Su, let me apologise to Miss Su on his behalf. I do work with your brother so please don’t take this little misunderstanding to heart.”
Although Lotefa was obviously giving in, he was reminding Su Yanyi at the same time that he and Su Yanmo were also partners so he hoped that Su Yanyi gave him a bit of face so as to not harm their partnership.
“He not only offended me, he also offended my husband. If you want to talk about apologies, shouldn’t he apologise to me personally?” Su Yanyi didn’t feel that a father apologising on his son’s behalf held more sincerity. However, she did feel that Feynan should indeed thank his father, if not he would probably already have been thrown into the sea.
“Feynan!” Lotefa didn’t waste any words and directly shouted Feynan’s name in a cold voice full of pressure. Feynan immediately walked forward and said with a cold face: “Sorry, I was the one who behaved rudely. I would like to implore the two of you to not put it to heart!”
If they were to say the expression Feynan had towards Su Yanyi and Qin Jiran not long ago was full of viciousness and revenge, there was now a change; his eyes were a lot more shocked and serious. Although there were some feelings of unwillingness and resentment, they weren’t as obvious anymore.
“You’re not going to take revenge later on?” Su Yanyi asked very directly, at the same time seriously analysing Feynan’s expression. She was thinking that if this man really still had any intention of revenge then don’t blame her for not holding back!
There were so many people in this world, getting rid of one or two people was very easy for her!
“You must be joking, Miss Su. It was just a mistake. Don’t people say ‘no discord no concord’? If the two of you don’t mind, I would sincerely like to be a friend. Mr Su has always been my idol, to know Miss Su is my honour.” Feynan took a deep breath as if adjusting his emotions then said this in a calm manner.
At this time, Su Yanyi and Qin Jiran thought that Feynan had some redeeming points. As expected of the Thiers heir, he wasn’t that stupid after all.
“We can dispense with the friendship, just don’t trouble us in future.” Su Yanyi on the other hand had no intention of becoming friends. After she had finished speaking to Feynan, she turned to Lotefa and said: “It’s still early, we still want to enjoy some more. We shan’t accompany you anymore.”
After Su Yanyi had finished speaking, she pulled Qin Jiran away. Wherever they walked, people would voluntarily give way, their aura being so majestic.
A lot of people hailed Su Yanmo as the Prince of the Underworld. If that was the case, then Su Yanyi would be the Princess of the Underworld. From the reaction of these people, one could sufficiently see the influence the Su family held in the underworld. Of course, there were some people here who had no idea of what happened. One could only say that these people didn’t even have the qualification to know.
“How arrogant, to be able to make the Thiers family bow their heads. Just who in the world are those two people, how come I don’t know them?” Asked someone with no qualification but was excited yet bewildered.
However, the people at his side immediately distanced themselves with a look of despise, as if saying ‘you don’t even know this, don’t ever say you know me. It’s too embarrassing to bring you out!’
Not long after the situation had been resolved, Corey arrived in a hurry. He had only just heard the report from his subordinates and had immediately rushed over. However, he hadn’t expected the situation to be over so quickly, though considering Su Yanyi’s identity it wasn’t that weird. In the end, he found the two of them hugging and watching at a table. Corey again thought he was being blinded by them. These two people really PDA-ed any- and everywhere.
“Is there anything you need my help with?” Corey elegantly walked over and asked. He had in his hand a glass of wine which he set down in from of Su Yanyi.
“Need you to go further away.” Su Yanyi’s eyes never left the cards, just said this with a lot of dislike.
In an instant, Corey’s face turned black. He obviously came to help them resolve their situation okay, although he hadn’t needed to do anything, can they not look down on him like that! This was the first time in his life he had been avoided so many times and he was still living properly, hmph!
The third auction, which was also the last round of the auction, also had very diverse items. It had items that hadn’t been auctioned off during the first and second auctions, and things yet to be auctioned. It also had some very special items and had all kinds of things. All these things had in common was that they were worth a lot of money.
“The third round of the auction will now begin. The first item in the auction is the rights to a diamond mine in an African country. The rights will be valid for a year, and the starting price will be USD$100 million. Each raise will be by $5 million. Now we will begin the bidding...”
Rights to a diamond mine for a year? This really was Qin Jiran’s first time hearing of auctioning such a thing. As expected, it was very novel. However, wasn’t the time a little bit too short?
“With this kind of auction of mining rights, can they guarantee diamonds?” Qin Jiran asked with some doubt. He didn’t feel like there was a large degree of believability in this kind of auction, moreover it was a mine of an African family, could they really guarantee safety?
“Of course it can’t.” Su Yanyi said without any hesitation. Items on auction would definitely have some degree of exaggeration, it was probably only the person who put the item on auction who knew clearly.
Actually, Qin Jiran thought so as well but there were still a lot of people bidding and the price very quickly reached $200 million. At least it allowed Qin Jiran to witness once the scene of money flowing like water. Plus, even if the money was spent, they wouldn’t know if they obtained anything of value. However, this was probably just another investment risk. If they were talking about mineral ores...

“What, do you have any interest in playing as well?” Su Yanyi saw Qin Jiran being lost in thought and suggested with interest. Anyway, the Old Man said this trip was on him. If they bought the rights to the mine and they really mined diamonds, she could just give them to her mother.
“Not interested. The risk is too big, it’s not suitable for me.” Qin Jiran wasn’t as crazed as Su Yanyi. Su Yanyi was the kind to do as she wished but Qin Jiran’s character was more stable. He wasn’t that interested in this kind of thing.
“Then forget it.” Su Yanyi didn’t press him further. Upon seeing Qin Jiran’s lack of interest, her own interest disappeared in an instant.
The auction continued. On the auction stage, the items became more and more interesting, such as a country’s new research, a crime group’s network map, an experiment station in Antarctica, or a scientist’s new weapon research development. All these random things made one feel that it was very novel. Of course, while there were feelings of novelty, there were also feelings of being shaken. These weren’t good things, a bit of carelessness could cause a disaster.
“If I were Interpol I’d definitely keep an eye on this place and take advantage of all these people gathered here and destroy them all in one shot.” Qin Jiran lowered his voice as he said this a little helplessly. Helplessly, because he knew his own way of thinking was too idealistic. He had said this on impulse. If the people here really were eliminated, this world would probably fall into chaos and the number of people outside who died would definitely surpass those who died here.
“Destroy us as well?” Su Yanyi also knew that Qin Jiran’s words were a joke that had been made on impulse but she didn’t mind continuing the conversation.
Qin Jiran hugged Yanyi and said: “We’re together anyway, whether we live or die I don’t mind.”
There were some loves that were just that crazy. As long as they were together, where they were didn’t matter. Anyway, he would never be parted from Yanyi!
“Then let’s continue living together, we still have a lot of things we haven’t done.” After dying once, Su Yanyi cherished her life more. In this lifetime, she still had a lot of things to be done.
“Then let’s continue living together.” Qin Jiran also recalled the images he had thought about in the past and they were all related to every moment with Yanyi. They were also the longing and anticipation he had for his and Yanyi’s future. Just like Yanyi said, they still had a lot of things they hadn’t done yet. They should live on properly!
When the auction had entered the second half, Yanyi raised her hand and used $320 million to obtain what was supposed to be a unique baby-sized golden gemstone. However, this gemstone wasn’t something she wanted but something the System required.
When the gemstone had appeared on stage, 001 immediately appeared and used an extremely excited voice to ask her to buy the gemstone. It was a source of energy required by the Virtuous Wife System and the whole world might really only have that one piece.
Su Yanyi naturally wouldn’t disagree. Anyway, she was quite curious as to how the System would make use of this gemstone.
After she had obtained this gemstone, Su Yanyi also bid for a private aquarium in Australia. This was because she had remembered the way Little Su Nuo liked marine animals. She then swiftly raised her hand. This time she also spent a lot of money. The total price of this private aquarium surpassed $800 million but Su Yanyi demonstrated that the money she was spending wasn’t her own so she didn’t feel reluctant.
