Just after coming down the mountain, the beautiful CEO took me to register

Chapter 507 Not a fuel-efficient lamp

"Then let's go together." Qin Ruxue looked around and felt a little uneasy.

The three of them then left the deck.

Onlookers whispered about who the mysterious young man was, speculating about his identity and background, and his relationship with Alika.

Seeing William and Trey soaked, everyone gradually dispersed, realizing that it might not be appropriate to continue watching.

After entering a luxurious box, Alica opened a bottle of high-end red wine and poured a glass for everyone.

"What should I call you? Lin Fan? Or the Ghost King?" He joked as he handed the wine to Lin Fan.

"Call me Brother Fan." Lin Fan took the wine glass.

"That sounds like you're taking advantage of me."

Alika raised an eyebrow and said, "I am one of the heirs of the Ross family. How can I save face if I call you 'brother' like this?"

"It's been three years, and the 'one of' hasn't been removed. It means nothing."

Lin Fan said mercilessly, "If you follow my method, you will now be the legitimate heir."

"Kill off the other heirs? That's too risky and difficult to do perfectly." Alica rejected this radical idea.

Qin Ruoxue began to feel uneasy. As soon as the two men sat down, they started discussing how to deal with the competition within the family. The topic was really too sensitive.

"Come, sister-in-law, have a drink." Alika handed Qin Ruxue a glass of wine with a smile.

"Thank you."

Qin Ruxue took it and thought that she would find a chance to leave after finishing this cup. She didn't want to hear any more conversations like this.

Are you here to discuss some shady deal?

Ding! A crisp clinking of glasses broke the silence.

Lin Fan took a sip of the red wine, glanced at the bottle, and couldn't help but sigh: "You rich people, you really can drink up an average family's savings for a year with just one sip of wine."

Alika said seriously, "Don't mention money. It sounds too vulgar."

"That's right. People who say this either never worry about money, or they don't understand the value of money at all." Lin Fan muttered and took another sip of wine.

"Honestly, what are you doing on this antique ship?" asked Alica.

"Me? Of course it's to buy things." Lin Fan responded with a frown.

"Are you really here for the antiques?" Alika asked.

"Isn't it? What about you? You came here for the magic weapon, right?" Lin Fan asked back, with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

"Magical weapon?"

Alika was stunned for a moment: "You also know about magic weapons?"

If there were indeed magical weapons on board, this would explain why so many experts had gathered here. For the powerful, magical weapons were truly rare treasures!

"Didn't you know this a long time ago?" Alika was a little surprised when she saw Lin Fan's reaction.

"If I said I came here for antiques, would you believe me?" Lin Fan glanced at Qin Ruxue. She was obviously not satisfied with the level of the conversation.

"Haha, how could I not believe it?" Alika tried hard to hold back her laughter.

"Okay, laugh if you want to." Lin Fan said unhappily.

After the laughter, Alica put away her smile: "Okay, now listen to me carefully."

Qin Ruxue next to her opened her eyes wide, obviously attracted by the magic weapon mentioned.

As someone who came from a prominent family and had been immersed in the antique world for many years, she certainly understood the value of magical instruments - they were almost priceless treasures.

"Actually, the real attraction of the antique ship lies in the occasional trading of magical instruments, but this is not a common occurrence, only once every two years." Alica continued.

Lin Fan raised his eyebrows and looked at Qin Ruxue, as if asking for her opinion.

Qin Ruxue suppressed her inner shock and replied expressionlessly, "Do you think I wouldn't know? Two years ago, I didn't even know that antique boats existed."

Lin Fan smiled and decided not to tease Qin Ruxue anymore. After all, some jokes were not good if they were taken too far.

After the auction, there was a lively magic weapon trade fair.

Alika explained to Lin Fan, "There are all kinds of strange and bizarre magical instruments circulating here. I came here to see if there is anything that particularly attracts me."

Lin Fan asked curiously, "What are the conditions for participating in such a transaction? Can anyone join?"

"Generally speaking, participants need to have proof of 5 billion in funds. However, this rule does not apply to you. Anyone who dares to stop you is not giving face to me, Alex," Alex added with a smile.

Lin Fan nodded slightly, secretly hoping that this antique trip would yield some results.

"By the way, is there any news about the appearance of a divine artifact?"

"I did hear the rumor, but it's hard to tell whether it's true or not. Everything depends on luck," Alika replied.

Hearing the word 'luck', Lin Fan's eyes gleamed. As the protagonist of the story, he believed that his luck was extraordinary.

Alika also mentioned that a god was reportedly present at the scene. Lin Fan immediately became alert:

"Since even the gods have come, how dare you show up on the high seas with only a few ordinary bodyguards? Be careful of being plotted against by other heirs."

"Haha, don't worry, I have my own arrangements."

Alika smiled and said, "Now that I've met you, I feel more confident."

Lin Fan frowned and asked, "You mean you want me to protect you? And you're planning to use yourself as bait to deal with the enemy?"

"Haha, it turns out I can't hide anything from you, Brother Fan."

Alica laughed: "Yes, I just want to see who dares to attack me."

"Don't think you can let me protect you like this. I'm here to make money, not to be a babysitter." Lin Fan said disdainfully.

"There's no conflict between the two. I can pay you."

Alika hurriedly said, "Brother Fan, you don't want to see me get into trouble on the high seas, do you?"

Lin Fan's eyes glared, "Is there really someone trying to harm you?"

"I'm afraid so. Some people may not have as many concerns as I do." Alica nodded affirmatively.

At this time, Qin Ruxue was watching the two interacting and couldn't help but wonder in her heart: Why is their relationship so weird?

"Don't play these useless emotional cards with me. If you speak more ambiguously, your sister-in-law will misunderstand." Lin Fan complained.

"Sister-in-law, please don't misunderstand me. Brother Fan and I are just brothers. I really have no interest in men." Alika quickly clarified.

"I didn't get it wrong."

Qin Ruxue smiled slightly, her eyes inadvertently sweeping over Lin Fan.

She wondered to herself, did he really want to get involved in these wealthy families' disputes? Neither Alica nor the other heirs were easy to deal with.

"If you're alright, there's no harm in protecting you." Lin Fan said after thinking about it.

"Thank you very much, Brother Fan. Don't worry, I won't let you work in vain."

As Alica spoke, he casually opened the checkbook and quickly wrote down a string of numbers.

Qin Ruxue glanced at the number and was shocked—a billion? And it was US dollars! It seemed that these young masters really regarded money as dirt.
