Chapter 508: It feels so good to show off
"Brother Fan, please accept this 1 billion first. This is just the beginning." Alika handed over the check.
"Take it, who needs this little money?"
Lin Fan didn't even glance at him: "Do you think you can insult me with money?"
Qin Ruxue almost laughed out loud, thinking to herself: If you don’t want it, why not give it to me?
"Brother Fan, that's not what I meant." Alika explained quickly.
"Okay, stop talking nonsense."
Lin Fan drained the wine in his glass and said, "I'll take care of this matter. Take the check. I want to see if this plan you've set up will work."
After hearing what Lin Fan said, Alika immediately tore up the check.
"Brother Fan, I will never forget your kindness. When I become the head of the Ross family, I will definitely repay you well."
"Don't give me that. I'm still alive. What's there to repay?"
Lin Fan laughed and scolded, "You said we were brothers. If we are brothers, why talk about money? Giving me this little is like slapping me in the face."
Qin Ruxue's eyes widened, and she thought to herself, "So this is the real 'insult'!" She suddenly felt that her vision was too narrow. Lin Fan was pursuing much more than this.
After drinking a bottle of wine, Lin Fan prepared to leave.
"By the way, please don't come to see me lately."
"Are you afraid to take action because you're worried that the people behind the scenes will notice you?" Alika guessed.
"Yes."
Lin Fan said calmly, "If you're always hanging around me, how can I keep a low profile? If I'm not low-key, how can I surprise people?"
"Pretending to be cool makes me happy, understand?" Lin Fan added.
Alika nodded, and although she felt a little embarrassed, she still accepted the fact.
Qin Ruxue felt a little helpless. Most people would try their best to show off their status, but Lin Fan preferred to keep a low profile and surprise people with his strength.
"Let's go first."
After Lin Fan finished speaking, he took Qin Ruxue's hand and walked out. In front of Alika, Qin Ruxue had no choice but to let this guy hold her hand.
Alika watched the two of them leave, thinking about the help Lin Fan had given her, and felt inexplicably moved and at ease.
He personally acted as bait in this operation, which involved his own safety, so he made a lot of preparations.
Even so, I still felt like a heavy weight was hanging in my heart. But at this moment, the tension finally dissipated.
"I want to see who wants to take my life." Alika sneered in a low voice, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.
On the side, Qin Ruxue said to Lin Fan, "Why don't you let go of my hand?"
"The situation here is complicated. What if we let them go and they get separated again?" Lin Fan said seriously.
"Didn't you say before that you didn't know Alika? How come you know her now?" Qin Ruxue shook off his hand and questioned.
"I didn't mean to hide it from you. I just wanted to be low-key. I hope to get along with you as an ordinary person and don't want you to feel pressured." Lin Fan explained with a smile.
"Who could have imagined that something like this would happen? I had no choice but to reveal it passively."
Qin Ruxue was speechless and choked, thinking to herself: What do you mean by passive? Who can be passive like you?
"So what is your relationship with Alica?" she asked.
"Well, it's a long story, but we get along pretty well." Lin Fan answered casually.
"Then what about your so-called 'Ghost King' identity?" Qin Ruxue continued to ask.
"When I was abroad in my early years, I gave myself the nickname 'Ghost King', and then it spread." Lin Fan answered casually.
"Don't worry, I'm still the same person who borrowed money from you. That won't change me."
Qin Ruxue cursed inwardly and decided to investigate this "Ghost King" thoroughly later.
After returning to the deck, apart from a few people casting strange glances, most people didn't seem to notice their interaction. This made Lin Fan secretly relieved. It seemed that he could still play his role.
As the event officially began, a host appeared and introduced the upcoming schedule. The free trade and auction were scheduled for tomorrow, but there was no mention of the magical weapon trade—this part was only known to a certain group of people.
Qin Ruxue couldn't help but smile bitterly. Even if she brought 5 billion, she still couldn't enter the core circle of Antiques.
At this time, several young people came over to greet Qin Ruxue and talked about what they had just heard.
"I heard that two important figures from China came here, and they know Alika?"
"Yeah, I heard that too." Qin Ruxue responded, thinking to himself, isn't that Lin Fan and himself?
"I never thought that there would be such a powerful person in our country." A young man sighed.
"It would be great if I were there. I would definitely try to get to know him," another person responded.
Lin Fan asked curiously, "What have you heard?"
"I heard that two foreigners provoked someone, but were eventually dealt with by a man. Afterwards, Alika personally supported him! Just imagining that scene is so shocking." The young man's eyes were full of admiration.
"If I could get to know him, I would definitely be willing to follow him." Someone else added.
"Is it really that awesome?" Lin Fan asked with a smile.
"I heard that he is not only super powerful, but also very handsome." The young man continued.
"I've been keeping an eye out, hoping to find this expert."
"Very handsome? How handsome? More handsome than me?" Lin Fan joked with a smile.
"You are also very handsome, but I think he is better." The young man looked at Lin Fan seriously and said.
Lin Fan couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Haha, that's enough."
Qin Ruxue saw this scene from the side, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly - is this guy a little too good at playing?
"Well, no matter how powerful they are, it has nothing to do with us." She tried to change the subject.
"Why doesn't it matter? We are all Chinese, and we should feel proud of it!" Everyone echoed.
"That's right. Ever since I heard about this, I feel like I'm walking with the wind."
"My back has straightened a lot." Everyone said one after another.
Qin Ruxue listened to these words, wondering how they would react if they knew the person they were discussing was right in front of them. Although she had the urge to reveal Lin Fan's identity, she ultimately restrained herself.
"Ruxue, your friends are quite interesting." Lin Fan whispered to Qin Ruxue.
"Just because they are praising you, you find it funny?" Qin Ruxue rolled her eyes.
"Of course, who doesn't like to hear nice words?" Lin Fan chuckled.
"But honestly, it feels really good to be cool! You don't think any of your enemies will come looking for trouble here, do you? If so, we can give them a taste of what it feels like to get slapped in the face."
"You've read too many novels." Qin Ruxue said helplessly.
"Yes, there are indeed quite a few. I am very familiar with those plots." Lin Fan nodded in agreement.
"Speaking of enemies, Li Weihai, who was behind the last incident, is here too." Qin Ruxue mentioned.
"Does he want to stop you from coming? Is he worried that you will become his opponent?" Lin Fan was curious.
