A foreigner's journey
Chapter 27 Rich Batra
September 1, 1999, Youkexin City.
Youkexin City is an international metropolis, not inferior to a big city like Shan City in all aspects, but its most famous thing is the [Youkexin Dream Auction].
[Youkexin Fantasy Auction], held in Youkexin City on September 1st every year, is the largest annual auction market in the world.
In just ten days, tens of trillions of funds flowed through public auctions alone. What you bought for 10,000 khani yesterday may be sold for 100 million today! It is a dream market where one can grab thousands of dollars.
Among the tens of thousands of auctions, many auction crime-related items.
The time is 20:41, Sermetali Building, an [underground auction] exclusively for gangsters and gangster organizations.
The hall on the first floor was bustling with people. The gangsters who came to participate in the auction were all in well-dressed suits. They were basically all prominent figures in the organization. Even some bosses came to the venue in person. It could be said that it was a 'gathering of elites'.
According to the regulations of the [Underground Auction], the buyer can only bring up to three people and cannot bring weapons, recording equipment, or communication equipment into the venue. The gangster who holds the auction is responsible for the security of the venue.
Anyone who dares to mess around in the [Underground Auction] will become the enemy of gangs all over the world.
The most basic rule in the venue is [trust], so the security personnel do not use anti-theft video equipment, and the competitors will temporarily put aside the feud between gangs. In the event of any dispute, testimonies from all sides will be accepted, which is more important than an oath in court.
Therefore, the impression given to others at the venue is very important. The bosses of various gangs and organizations will let the most trustworthy people attend this gang event.
At an auction, the party that wins the treasure at a high price must pay 5% of the auction price to the organizer. In addition to showing off one's financial resources, one can also make oneself known to gangsters around the world and increase one's worth. Every year, people spend a lot of money to win the bid, but in the end they end up being forced to go bankrupt.
Preparations for the auction are in full swing here, and in the Croze Hotel, which is a few blocks away from the Sermetali Building, in the exclusive presidential suite of Roda Kingdom on the 27th floor, Hai, who is wearing an exquisite handmade suit, Se and Rhoda Jindom, wearing a 'three-eyed demon scarf' and a formal dress, are waiting for someone.
Climb, climb, climb.
"Sir, Mr. Batra is here."
"Invite him in quickly."
Butler Gal opened the door, bowed slightly and stepped aside to invite the people behind him to come in.
This is an old man who can clearly see his age. The flesh on his face is a bit saggy, but his hair is still thick and his eyes are very lively. This person is the world's top rich man, Batra.
"Batra, long time no see." Rodajindome took the lead to greet him, held Batra's hand and shook it slightly.
Mingming had heard Roda Jindom say that he and Batra had only met once, but at this time Batra had a happy expression on his face as if he had met a close friend: "Roda Jindom, I haven't seen you for a long time. You don’t blame me for not attending your birthday party, do you? Blame me, your memory gets worse as you get older, or you look younger. Who is this? "
As if he had just noticed Heather, Batra extended his right hand to Heather very gracefully: "This is the first time we meet, I am Batra Stovekin, just call me Batra."
"Heather, nice to meet you." Heather held Batra's hand and shook it: "Let's not beat around the bush, Mr. Batra, I believe you are here because you trust me and Mr. Roda Kingdom. ,Is it right?"
"...Mr. Heather, it's not that I'm suspicious."
After the three of them took their seats, Batra leaned forward slightly and spoke in a somewhat urgent tone:
"I still can't believe that someone can actually recreate the extraordinary power of those mythical weapons in ancient mythology. This is really... incredible."
"[Nian] is the magical power that turns the impossible into the possible."
Heather sat on the sofa with her legs crossed, her hands interlocked on her knees, and her tone was gentle:
"You are not completely ignorant of the world of telekinesis, right? Some of the [gods] in ancient mythology are actually powerful telepaths who have mastered super telepathy. Nowadays, technology is advancing rapidly, and telekinesis has not been improved. Is there any reason to retreat?”
"Heather has more power than you can imagine, Batra."
Rhoda Jindom, who was sitting aside, struck while the iron was hot: "We need to know why you need the power to heal all injuries, so that we can prescribe the right medicine."
Batra was stunned and just sat on the sofa, lost in thought.
Heather and Rhoda Kingdom looked at each other without urging.
Rhoda Kingdom had been in contact with Batra intermittently for almost four months. The old man was extremely suspicious and completely distrustful of Rhoda Kingdom and Heather.
But the information brought out by the giant hyena mercenaries who escaped and ascended to heaven began to spread slowly. Two weeks ago, even Batra heard the rumors about Heather.
He single-handedly wiped out the A+-level mercenary organization [Giant Hyena] with more than 300 people. In less than ten minutes, eight telekinesis masters including the leader Barbaatar were all killed by him.
When he first heard this rumor, Batra's attitude was completely scornful. He even thought that this was a rumor created by Heather and Rhoda Kingdom themselves to trap him.
Why don't you make it more exaggerated? Wouldn't it be better for one person to destroy V5 single-handedly?
But gradually, more and more relevant rumors continued to spread, and relevant details were constantly confirmed. Batra couldn't sit still and began to use his contacts to investigate.
This investigation revealed something wrong.
The video of Heather's battle in the Sky Arena is worth a lot of money on the black market. After Batra obtained it, he asked the one-star bounty hunter he hired, Juez Juela, to review the tape and came to the conclusion that—— As long as he doesn't die young, Heather is definitely qualified to join the ranks of the world's top telepathic users.
When he took the initiative to talk to Rhoda Jindom on the phone again, Batra's attitude became very polite.
Then, the two parties agreed to meet in Youkexin City on September 1, the first day of the Youkexin Fantasy Auction.
For a moment, the room fell into silence.
Batra thought about it, he was already here and he had brought his things, what else could he not say? If what Heather and Rhoda Kingdom said was true, then everything would have to be explained to Heather during treatment, so it might as well be done now.
"I want to treat a person, so I keep searching for famous doctors and secret medicines."
Batra took out a handmade photo frame with rough craftsmanship from her arms, and gently stroked the photo framed in the middle with her old folded hands.
Heather and Rhoda Kingdom squeezed over curiously and found a photo of a young woman.
"It doesn't look like your daughter or granddaughter, is she a lover?" Rhoda Kingdom confirmed that his guess was correct and winked at Heather.
"She is my lover. I met her during a solo trip in 1986 and fell in love."
Batra gently touched the bright smile on the photo, as gently as if she was afraid of waking up the girl: "Later, after I confessed my identity to her, she was angry for a while and then she forgave me and was willing to continue to associate with me, but she was very straightforward. I returned all the expensive gifts given to her, leaving only this crude photo frame I made myself as a treasure. I understand that she doesn’t want others to think that she is with me for the inheritance.”
"We wanted nothing but each other. So we vowed to get rid of all our property and stay together for the rest of our lives. But not long after, she encountered an accident...a car accident...she fell into a coma, as if sleeping It's like she's dying... All the famous doctors I invited told me that maintaining the status quo is a medical miracle, and no one knows when she will wake up."
"At that time, I heard about the game Greedy Island (GI). It was said that if you clear the game, you can get a spell to cure all diseases and injuries and a rejuvenating elixir, so I immediately collected information through various channels and deliberately I blocked the clearance reward information from the outside world. At the same time, I began to collect a large number of telepathy devices and used connections to find people with rare and rare healing telepathy abilities."
"For eleven years, I have watched her just...sleep...I really tried every method, but it just didn't work."
Unconsciously, Batra was already in tears, and the hands in front of her were trembling: "Please, please tell me, please tell me that you can cure her. As long as you can save her, my property is mine." Everything can be given with both hands..."
A white but strong hand fell on Batra's trembling shoulder. Batra raised her head and saw Heather's confident smile:
"Don't worry, as long as I restart [Light Egg], as long as she still has breath by then, I can cure her."
Thanks to Origin Life for the 500 starting coins

Thanks to book friend 20201004134440826 for the Qidian coin.
PS: In the last chapter, Heather said she wanted to go home. Everyone’s analysis is actually very correct based on the information available so far. Going back would mean death. But I will definitely not throw out such an obvious loophole directly. Don’t worry, looking forward, everything, including the protagonist’s abnormal mental state, will be explained clearly in the subsequent plot.
