Douluo Huo Yuhao: My Clone is Too Self-Disciplined

Chapter 481

In the VIP room where Huo Yuhao was, Lingyao, seeing that Huo Yuhao showed no interest in the item, asked curiously, "Sect Master Huo, are you not interested in this item? It's a legendary immortal herb!"

As soon as Ling Yao said this, everyone in the VIP room turned their attention to Huo Yuhao. Huo Yuhao just looked at her with a half-smile, "Oh? Should I be interested?"

"It's just a fake, is it really worth my interest?"

Fake?

Ling Yao was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect that Huo Yuhao would say that the things sold by their Star Luo Empire were fake. These were genuine immortal herbs, and Huo Yuhao dared to say that they were fake.

Their Starlight Auction House is the most prestigious auction house in the Star Luo Empire, and its motto is to never sell counterfeit goods. Huo Yuhao's words were undoubtedly damaging their reputation, so Ling Yao was immediately furious. However, Huo Yuhao's status was higher than hers, and he also had dealings with the Emperor and the royal family. She couldn't refuse Huo Yuhao's request in person, so she could only patiently look at him before asking, "I don't know what Sect Master Huo means. This immortal herb is a treasure that has undergone multiple authoritative appraisals in our Star Luo Empire. Our Starlight Auction House would never sell counterfeit goods. If you have no evidence, I can say you're slandering me."

"defamation?"

Huo Yuhao smiled and said, "If you say so, then so be it. I don't want to cause trouble. Anyway, I'm not the one who got scammed. So stop bringing this up. Otherwise, you can see for yourself whether what I have is genuine. I'm not the kind of person who likes to take fakes."

Upon hearing Huo Yuhao's words, everyone looked in surprise at his hand and discovered that he also had an identical stone, and its quality was even better than the stone on the screen.

However, Huo Yuhao didn't care about the stone at all. He just held it in his hand and swung it back and forth, not afraid that the stone would fall.

Everyone's faces immediately showed shock.

Huo Yuhao actually had an identical piece of Acacia Heartbreak Red in his hand?

So who is telling the truth and who is lying?

Is Huo Yuhao real, or is the part on the screen real?

Ling Yao's face immediately showed shock. He knew that Huo Yuhao didn't want to talk to him anymore, and he felt a little anxious.

This is a major mistake.

At first, he thought Huo Yuhao was slandering their Starlight Auction House, but when he saw the black stone in Huo Yuhao's hand, which was exactly the same as the Acacia Heartbreak Red on the screen, his professional ethics kicked in. His keen senses told him that Huo Yuhao didn't seem to be joking with him.

Huo Yuhao didn't care about this matter at all. If he hadn't mentioned it earlier, Huo Yuhao wouldn't have bothered to talk to him about it.

Therefore, the source number was not intended to defame.

He was just flustered, but now that he's calmed down, he realizes that Huo Yuhao's status is so high, and he even has Limit Douluo guards behind him. How could he possibly joke with him like that?

Moreover, Huo Yuhao didn't take him seriously at all. If he hadn't spoken to him first, Huo Yuhao wouldn't have bothered to talk to him. He even didn't bother to defend himself when Huo Yuhao accused him of slandering them, the Starlight Auction House.

They have no opinion on this matter.

It was as if the 250 million was nothing but a joke to him. Whether it was true or false had nothing to do with him.

But this has nothing to do with Huo Yuhao; it's a big deal for their Starlight Auction House.

If what Huo Yuhao said is true, and if the piece in Huo Yuhao's hand is the real Acacia Heartbreak Red, then what is the piece in their Starlight Auction House's hand?
Without a second thought, Lingyao immediately reported the matter to Xu Jiujiu, who was in the center of the auction stage, through the transmission device.

After listening for a long time, his expression suddenly changed.

He hadn't expected this turn of events; Huo Yuhao actually had an identical stone in his hand.

Moreover, Huo Yuhao openly stated that their piece was fake, and Huo Yuhao's was the real one.

At first, Xu Jiujiu thought Huo Yuhao was deliberately causing trouble, because he didn't know that this piece was fake. His elder brother had sworn that it was a genuine artifact that had been found at a high price from ancient ruins.
He had always believed it to be true, and he even considered obtaining this piece of Love-Sickness Red to see if his feelings for Feng Yao were truly unwavering.

Unfortunately, she was a princess, and he couldn't selfishly take the stone.

Anyway, he always believed it was true. The only deceptive part of his brother's plan was the 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo!
Xu Jiujiu is quite serious about the other auction items. Their Starlight Auction House has an excellent reputation because they offer a tenfold compensation for any fakes.

They never sell counterfeit goods, except for this one time, which was a strategy devised to target the Sun and Moon Empire.

But now Huo Yuhao is saying that the one he has is real, while the one from their Starlight Auction House is fake. How can he believe that?

However, Xu Jiujiu was, after all, a princess of a country. Having helped Xu Jiawei handle state affairs for so many years, she had long since developed a calm and composed attitude in the face of adversity.

What the auctioneer just said is very likely true. Huo Yuhao wouldn't make things up without reason. Besides, the auctioneer just told him that Huo Yuhao wouldn't have bothered to bring it up if he hadn't mentioned it by chance.

This is intriguing.

Huo Yuhao was clearly holding an identical stone, possibly the Acacia Heartbreak Red stone, yet he didn't pay it any attention. Considering Huo Yuhao's identity, would he really do such a thing? What was he applying?
Then there's only one worst possibility: the stone his elder brother gave him was fake, and the "Heartbreak Red" agate that's fetching an astronomical price is fake; it's all a scam from beginning to end.

With only one minute left in the countdown, he quickly contacted Xu Jiawei, who was hiding in the shadows and observing the entire situation.

"Brother, something's happened. Huo Yuhao said ours are fake, and the real Acacia Heartbreak Red is in his hands."

Upon hearing Xu Jiujiu's words, Xu Jiawei's face immediately showed shock, but he quickly calmed down and then began to speak to Xu Jiujiu, "What did he say? Did he openly question our Starlight Auction House, accusing us of faking it?"

After hearing Xu Jiawei's words for a long time, Xu Jiujiu understood. The piece of "Heartbreak Red" they were selling was fake, while the one in Huo Yuhao's hand was real.

Huo Yuhao actually possesses this legendary treasure, and he doesn't seem to care about the Acacia Heartbreak Red at all. Judging from Ling Yao's explanation, Huo Yuhao seems to treat it like an ordinary stone. Huo Yuhao, Huo Yuhao, just who are you?

At this moment, Xu Jiujiu's curiosity about Huo Yuhao reached its peak. He desperately wanted to know Huo Yuhao's true identity. How could he possess such a precious treasure and yet not seem to care about it?

But the most important thing now is to solve this problem and see how the Emperor plans to arrange things with him.

"Brother, Huo Yuhao didn't say it out loud. In fact, it was the auctioneer in charge who asked Huo Yuhao why he wasn't bidding. That's when Huo Yuhao disdainfully said that ours were fake, while the ones he had were real. Brother, could it be that the ones Huo Yuhao has are really real?"

When Xu Jiawei heard that Huo Yuhao didn't intend to expose his scam, he thought Huo Yuhao was really shrewd. Since Huo Yuhao didn't expose him, it meant he knew his plan, so there was nothing to worry about.

He never expected Huo Yuhao to have such extraordinary abilities. This kind of treasure, which could only be seen in legends, actually appeared in Huo Yuhao's hands, and Huo Yuhao didn't even eat it.

It's clear that he didn't care about such a treasure at all.

What an extraordinary person! No wonder he has a powerful Limit Douluo protecting him. It's very important to build a good relationship with Huo Yuhao, especially since Huo Yuhao has now shown them goodwill.

Huo Yuhao was unwilling to disrupt his plans, which showed he was a smart man.

Xu Jiawei then instructed Xu Jiujiu, "Jiujiu, I don't know if the Acacia Heartbreak Red in Huo Yuhao's hand is real, but it should be," because ours is fake.

"Huo Yuhao is right. The one we're selling is fake. I packaged it specially. It's just an ordinary stone. Once you buy it, it's impossible to activate, but no one can tell."

"This is also the groundwork I laid for this plan. In theory, it should be flawless. I have thought about this one flaw, but I think it is impossible for it to occur."

The only flaw?
After a long silence, he gave a bitter laugh. His brother's plan was flawless; its only flaw, its only weakness, was that the appearance of the genuine article would render the fake one meaningless.

However, the Emperor's plan was actually very clever. Even if a real one appeared, it would be impossible to activate. If neither of them could be activated, it would be difficult to distinguish between the real and the fake. It can only be said that the Emperor is indeed a master strategist.

"Then, Your Majesty, what should we do next?"

"We're here to rip off the Sun Moon Empire. Now that the Sun Moon Empire is bidding, let them fight it out. The higher the price, the more we'll earn. We'll just watch the show. It'll be a normal auction. Anyway, they won't find out. Huo Yuhao won't tell on us. He's on our side."

After listening for a long time, he nodded heavily and then returned to the auction room with a blank expression.

The countdown had reached nine seconds, and the number on it had jumped to three hundred million. A full three hundred million! This was supposed to be the price of a 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo, but now it had become the price of this broken stone. At first, they only valued this Acacia Heartbreak Red at one hundred and fifty million, because no matter how powerful it was or how outrageous its effects were, it was still a gamble, unlike a 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo.

Even if one cannot awaken twin martial souls, one can still obtain a 100,000-year soul ring and soul bone. This deal is a sure-fire way to make money, while buying a stone is merely a gamble. If one is unlucky and cannot awaken the soul, then 150 million will be wasted.

But now this stone has sold for a whopping 300 million. There are obviously no more bids now. Xu Jiujiu has already determined that this is the final price, and he estimates that no one would buy it for any more.

Three hundred million! Xu Jiujiu's hands trembled slightly, and the hand holding the hammer was shaking uncontrollably.

If it were genuine, he would be more composed, but this is fake! A stone sold for 300 million, I can't even imagine it.

For the first time, he felt that his elder brother was really too cunning, capable of doing such a thing, and his opinion of Huo Yuhao was also extremely high.

Holding a stone worth 300 million yuan as if it were an ordinary stone, and seeing that they were selling fake stones, he didn't expose them, just like watching a play. Huo Yuhao is truly unfathomable.

He contacted Lin Yao through the communication soul tool. Although he did not explicitly admit it, Lin Yao already knew from his words that theirs was fake, while the one in Huo Yuhao's possession was real. This was a bolt from the blue for Ling Yao, and her admiration for Huo Yuhao had reached its peak.

That's terrifying! Holding a stone worth 300 million, he doesn't even seem to care. Huo Yuhao is far more terrifying than I imagined.

Moreover, he just said that Huo Yuhao was slandering their Starlight Auction House, but Huo Yuhao didn't react at all. He didn't take it seriously at all, and he didn't care what he was saying about Huo Yuhao. He didn't care about anyone's opinion and just did what he wanted, only caring about his own perspective.

Huo Yuhao is undoubtedly a very formidable person, powerful and confident.

A bitter smile appeared on his lips. In the end, even in the eyes of such a high and mighty person, he was not even worth dust, and he didn't even have the desire to kiss her.

"Sect Master Huo, I was wrong just now. Please forgive me for saying the wrong thing."

Huo Yuhao shook his head, looking calmly at the screen, wanting to see how much this fake stone would fetch.

"It's alright, I didn't take it to heart. Watch the auction, don't stare at me."

"Ok!"

……

On the other side, in VIP room number nine.

Meng Hongchen's expression was quite exaggerated. She looked at Feng in disbelief, pointed at him, and her lips trembled slightly. "You, you actually have three hundred million gold soul coins? Haven't you always relied on being the second best in the world? How could he give you so much money? Why would he give you so much money?"

Feng scoffed at his statement, but Feng Susu couldn't stand it any longer and immediately stepped forward, "The Second Best in the World may be rich, but my young master is also very wealthy. What makes you think that my young master's money came from him?"

"Oh, I see," Feng Susu said sarcastically, then looked at Meng Hongchen. "I see. The reason you think the young master's money was given by the second-best in the world is because you know they have a good relationship, so you misunderstand, right?"

"Since you know they have a good relationship, why are you targeting my young master? Do you think you can't win?"

Feng Susu knew, of course, that the young master had no feelings for the Second Under Heaven; their relationship was nothing more than familial affection. She was quite certain that the Second Under Heaven, that blockhead, had been with her for so long that she couldn't possibly like anyone.
