CHAPTER 787: CHAPTER 487 MOSENT

In this place, you could drink any top-tier beverage in the world, whether it was China’s famous tea or Europe’s vintage wines...

Of course, that was also true for people.

The teacup was warm, Sui Yi’s taste buds were enveloped in the aroma of tea as he said, "I’ve come to retrieve something."

Putting a spoonful of sugar in his coffee, Lv Si smiled and asked, "Would you find it rude if I asked what it is?"

Sui Yi answered, "Not necessarily..."

Not necessarily?

Following Sui Yi, Lv Si looked somewhat serious, somewhat curious, somewhat... playful.

"If I asked you how exactly you changed those materials’ properties overnight, would you tell me?"

The question was very softly spoken.

Lost beneath the music, under the multitude of conversations and laughter...

Only Fatty Gao’s eyes widened.

Ye Zixu furrowed his brows.

Lv Si fell silent for half a moment, his gaze at Sui Yi teasing, "That’s quite an accusation... "

"But you haven’t considered denying it."

"Indeed... because there’s no need."

Drinking his coffee, Lv Si curled his lips into a smile, "You don’t wish to interfere in this situation, no matter what happens at Duke Junshi’s Mansion. You don’t have a platform to intervene, at best you could help, perhaps by helping them find Yosef to solve the troubles between the Ron and the Foss, but it wouldn’t change the overall situation... you are fully aware of this."

He even knew that Yosef had been exposed!

Against him, Junshi Castle stood no chance!

What a frightening person!

If Mosent were to intervene, their first target would be the Moro Company, which the Cao Family and Junshi Castle were using for practice.

Now, their strike had been successful.

By the time Moro was exposed, they had already succeeded.

"Still, I’m very curious how you figured out I was the person behind the scenes... I ask myself... I haven’t been exposed, and besides, my subordinates haven’t made any major errors."

Had he or his subordinates come into contact with Sui Yi in the presence of Yosef? It didn’t seem so...

So how had this woman figured it out?

Lv Si was genuinely curious, was it because he had approached her? If that counted as a leak, it only showed that Sui Yi’s imagination was... quite twisted.

"A guess."

"A guess?"

Sui Yi pointed to a man in the crowd speaking with Yosef...

"The things he discussed with Yosef that night let me infer his master is well-versed in jewelry and antiquities, and adept at managing large corporations and capital operations, confirming he is also a leading capitalist, with market control abilities stronger than Junshi Castle’s. Such people are rare. Also, he asked nothing superfluous about the Ode event that day, yet had a precise grip on the situation, indicating he was either present or his master was... That day, the owner of the Chicken Bloodstone Seal shop mentioned a member of the Mosent Family had visited Ode and had just bought a Chicken Bloodstone Seal... Only someone who could afford it would be present, so you must have been there."

Both being there was quite a coincidence.

"So, the Ode event occurred, and I just happened to be there, fitting the profile and capabilities, and that confirms it?" Lv Si laughed.

"He had the scent of tulips on him."

"... "

Mosent, the Tulip Family, has been fond of tulips for generations, with each Tulip Manor serving as the private estate of the respective Family Head, especially famous under Lv Si’s generation.

"Ah~ It seems still not certain enough."

"So it could only be a guess."

It was after seeing the person herself that she guessed.

Sui Yi looked at Lv Si. If he hadn’t spoken to her in that tone... she wouldn’t have linked so many dots together.

The ambitious third party wanting to intervene in the jade market and cleanse and reshuffle the UK’s luxury market was Mosent.

Only Mosent possessed such daring and capital.

Enough to support such ambition.

Lv Si smiled, "In this world, those who achieve great things must possess boundless imagination; clearly, both of us are capable of achieving great things..."

Neither of them answered each other’s questions.

Because neither of them could answer.

Suddenly, someone interjected, the "jovial" titan, Muen Mashafeideli, who came forward and glanced at Lv Si, "Ha... am I late?"

"No, you’ve arrived just in time," Lv Si left with poised ease, without any delay.

Muen Mashafeideli was very pleased with Lv Si’s attitude, and said to Sui Yi, "I am Muen Mashafeideli, I recognize you, you don’t need to introduce yourself... My purpose here is simple. I can offer you 30% more than others, sell or not sell?"

Offering a 30% increase right off the bat? That’s high!

You should know that those five jade mines are worth billions of US dollars.

Sui Yi had previously mentioned holding out for higher prices, but this wealthy man clearly did not regard money as object; it seemed he just wanted to get his hands on a slice of the big cake. So the question arose, where did his confidence come from?

If the Mosent Family had already deployed a fearsome plan to slowly devour this cake, then this Muen Mashafeideli...

Sui Yi’s attitude was still one of refusal, but the manner was quite surprising, "I’m sorry, those five jade mines don’t have much jade."

Ha! What an excuse...

Do we all look like fools? Can’t even recognize what a jade mine is? Especially given the performance of that mine, there’s definitely jade inside!

The latter laughed heartily, shrugged his shoulders, "Although it’s regrettable, I’m still glad to have met you, beautiful and witty Eastern Lady~"

This rich man, barely warmed his seat on the sofa, twisted his chubby buttocks and walked away again...

Fatty Gao hurried over, "Why do I feel that each of these people seems like a lunatic~"

Hmm?

Sui Yi glanced at him, "It’s okay."

"It’s okay?... I find them very strange anyway, boss, don’t you think these people, this place... have ulterior motives?"

"Are you talking about the house or the people?"

Damn it, why does a simple line give me such a chill in my heart!

"Boss, why do I feel like you’re trying to scare me!"

Sui Yi looked down and said indifferently, "I’m not trying to scare you... After all, the scariest things are still people."

"Right, just like just now, that Lv Si, I really didn’t expect him to be the mastermind..." Fatty Gao looked around before he spoke, not knowing if anyone might overhear...

Obviously, they couldn’t, because most ordinary people here don’t have the ability, and those who practice could eavesdrop but can’t separate this place’s music from other noise. Only someone as skilled as Sui Yi could do it with ease, let alone others.

Natasha and Yale? Do they care? Even Lv Si would not care so much about this so-called truth.

Otherwise, Sui Yi would have said it outright.

"Him?" Sui Yi countered.

Huh? Isn’t it?

Sui Yi silently stared at Fatty Gao, silently sipping tea...

It was later Ye Zixu who said in a low voice, "With his current capital, he’s not enough to overcome an industry and directly take down the cooperation between the Cao Family and Junshi Castle, especially since the Ron Family has already reacted, and the situation is still under control. Reshuffling the market is too difficult... unless in this opportunity in the jade market, he has enough jade resources to surpass Junshi Castle, etc. Otherwise, there is no second way."

"So what?" Fatty Gao glared.

Ye Zixu’s expression was indifferent, "He left too quickly, not striving for the five jade mines Sui Yi has not because he disdains them, but because he’s sure he can obtain them through another means."

"Currently, the only person who could get those five jade mines from me is one person,"

Sui Yi looked over and saw the Old Master, because the latter held a leverage she could not ignore.

Old Master represented White Blade, a noble White Blade. Would he consider Lv Si as superior? If not that Lv Si was the master of White Blade, then these two parties must be collaborating... Thus it’s not fair to label Lv Si as the mastermind. On the other hand, anyone who could use that method to exchange materials, they would need a terribly special technique, definitely not something that a White Blade subordinate or a person under Lv Si could accomplish...

According to the way of thinking of people like Sui Yi and Ye Zixu, they believed more that behind this matter, there was an incredibly powerful person, casually manipulating the whole plan with his hands.

But for now, they still didn’t know what all this had to do with this Moro evening banquet...

But is it important? Sui Yi knew that Junshi Castle and the Cao Family were not without resistance, and even in the worst case scenario, it would only be allowing Mosent to intervene and consume their well-planned cake, merely losing money...

Everything is predetermined by fate, let alone money.

The other party figured that she wouldn’t get too involved...

Crystal chandeliers shone brightly, murals were abundant, distinguished ladies and gentlemen shifted their steps elegantly...

Sui Yi sat on the sofa, very quiet, able to clearly hear the doubts and expressions of many people’s conversations... but as for those scheming plots or obscene noises, she automatically blocked them out, simply silently watching the murals...

Suddenly, she felt something was off, these murals... they were too lifelike, making her feel uneasy inside.

"I just checked it out, just this hall alone in this castle costs at least this number," said Cao Ling, sitting next to Sui Yi and gesturing to a few people after.

"One hundred million?" Fatty Gao guessed with the utmost malice about these wealthy folks.

"Pounds," Cao Ling cracked a smile, showing his snow-white, beautiful teeth.

Wow, that’s amazing!

"One hall, eh? How could it be so valuable... Right, these, these paintings?" Fatty Gao still had some discernment, he felt that this luxurious super hall, these murals were indeed... superbly painted.

"Exactly," Cao Ling shrugged, "My family has a gallery hall, also specifically for these murals, and it costs ten million pounds; this hall, both in terms of the number of murals and the artistry, far surpasses ours, it’s definitely worth one hundred million... This Grand Prince of Yale is really terrifying."

Even if not as wealthy as a nation, it’s at least... indescribable, just very rich.

"But have you guys noticed that these murals are very strange..." Fatty Gao started the conversation, prompting Sui Yi to look his way, wondering if he felt it too? (To be continued.
