Samsara Online

Lin Tian's words were like an earthquake that shook the inner world of the people present and many elderly, middle-aged men or powerful women could not help but stand up while looking at the bracelet hanging on Lin Tian's wrist with greed. That same bracelet that had previously received strange and disdainful looks had now become the center of attention of all the guests and the target of the desire of practically everyone present.

If there was one thing that the people able to attend this banquet did not lack, it was money. Money could buy power and with power, one could even kill another person without having to fear the law. These people already had practically everything that any normal person would wish to have all their lives but would probably never be able to obtain until the day of their deaths. However, there was one thing that did not differentiate them from a white-collar worker or a builder who spent eight hours in the sunshine in order to earn a miserable salary to feed their families; it was that no matter how rich or powerful they were, they had only one life to enjoy.

An explosion, a gunshot, or something as simple as a stab wound could claim the lives of these powerful people who were currently at the top of the human pyramid. To prevent this, they had no choice but to be surrounded by well-trained bodyguards every time they went outside and even spend millions to create a safe zone for themselves. However, the bracelet in Lin Tian's hands had the ability to solve all these problems by simply wearing it.

Five extra lives! As long as they could obtain the rustic-looking and not at all elegant bracelet that they had previously scoffed at in their minds, they could enjoy absolute safety five times over! No more fear of being killed every time they went out and no more sleeping on a bed of nails without being able to rest in peace!

While the people inside the hall were agitated, Xie Feng had quietly retired and currently a deep frown was on his almost perfect face.

Earlier he had received a call from Grandpa Lu; the housekeeper who worked for Xie Yao's father before his death. Currently, Grandpa Lu was in charge of receiving the company's documents and handing them over to Xie Feng, who without fail was in charge of checking the finances once a month to make sure all was well with the family business.

The problem was that Grandpa Lu had given him the shocking news that the Walton family from the United States had recently begun to show interest in buying Magnificent Sky Corporation. The Waltons were an extremely powerful family residing in North America and each year generated profits in excess of three billion U.S. dollars. To consider the Waltons a dynasty was no exaggeration and, although weaker than the Rothschilds, they were no laughing matter.

In the end, with a headache, Xie Feng sighed in exasperation and headed back inside the salon.

"Em?"

Xie Feng frowned slightly at the strange atmosphere of the place. Everyone seemed agitated about something. But after following everyone's gaze, Xie Feng finally understood what was going on. Seeing the bracelet in Lin Tian's hands, Xie Feng was surprised at first.... But that surprise soon turned into a grimace of disdain after further inspecting the object.

"Heh..." He couldn't help but let out a small mocking laugh and while shaking his head he quietly walked to his seat.

"Hey!"

Who knew that this Lin Tian guy actually stopped Xie Feng.

"You're talking to me?" Xie Feng pointed at himself.

Lin Tian frowned and a clear sign of disgust crossed his eyes as he said, "That sound earlier, what was that about? You were making fun of me right?"

Xie Feng looked at Lin Tian in confusion. Sound? Ah! Suddenly, Xie Feng's eyes shone as if he had finally understood the situation. Earlier, when he unconsciously let out a small mocking smile, the hall had been absolutely silent.... Naturally the other people would hear him!

Looking around at those present, Xie Feng noticed that several people were also scowling at him, clearly unhappy.

They were practically drooling over the bracelet in Lin Tian's hands, but this young man who had just caused trouble a few minutes ago was now mocking that object? Wasn't this the same as mocking them?

When Xie Feng looked toward the stage he saw that Yao Xiyu was looking at him with a distinctly fed-up expression. It was as if the man was saying, "Hey! You caused big trouble a while ago and now you're causing troubles again!"

Naturally, Xie Feng ignored him and looked at the birthday girl. Yao Mei looked at the scene indifferently, as if nothing that was happening had anything to do with her.

"Mmm..." Xie Feng scratched the back of his head and looked at Lin Tian as he asked, "I say, little brother Lin Tian, do I owe you something? You pointed at me since before the banquet started."

Lin Tian looked at him with a sneer and slowly said, "Owe me? How could the CEO of Magnificent Sky Corporation owe someone money when you practically swim in gold...? But that sneer from before not only annoyed everyone present, as you can see... It annoyed me! This gift is what I'm using to express my feelings for the woman I love, you think that's not enough reason to annoy me, em?"

"What!?" Xie Feng looked at Lin Tian with wide eyes and exclaimed.

"Hmph..." Lin Tian snorted as he saw the surprise in Xie Feng's eyes and a proud smile rose on his face. However, Xie Feng's next words were like a grenade thrown right next to his bedside as he slept.

"That cheap and worthless stuff is what you use to express your feelings? Little brother Lin Tian, if you are in need of some money, this big brother can lend you a few hundred yuan."

...

Silence.

The hall went dead silent as everyone looked at Xie Feng with wide eyes! This guy went crazy!? Lin Tian's bracelet was something extremely mysterious and powerful that they themselves had seen with their own eyes, a priceless object! But this young man actually scoffed at that bracelet and called it a 'cheap and worthless stuff'!?

More importantly, what did he mean by lending a few hundred yuan? 'Little brother, the value of the toilet paper we use is worth more than a few thousand!' That was what they wanted to say.

Gu Pojun smiled bitterly and shook his head while looking at Xie Feng in a complicated way.... No matter when or where, if Xie Feng was there it was certain that things would be turbulent no matter what.

Mu Wuying, Xie Yao, Gu Qianxue, and Shen Xinya paid attention to Xie Feng's movements and words with amusement. Especially Shen Xinya; she was bored to death and now that something entertaining was finally happening, she couldn't wait to see the world in front of her eyes burn! She was really like a little devil who couldn't live in peace.... As for doubting Xie Feng, none of them even thought about it for a moment.

"Hahahaha!" Lin Tian suddenly started laughing like crazy. He laughed so hard that tears gathered in his eyes as if they were going to fall at any moment. After calming down, he looked at Xie Feng as if he was a clown and said mockingly, "I say, Xie Feng.... Can you not make a fool of yourself? Everyone here saw what this Anubis Bracelet can do, aren't your words a bit too much? You're practically calling everyone here blind!"

"Bah!" Xie Feng rolled his eyes and sneered mercilessly. "What Anubis Bracelet nor what Some Black Dog's Bracelet. That broken stuff is useless!"

"Young man, be careful with your words." Elder Ma, who had earlier stood out first during Yao Xiyu's speech and one of the richest men in China sternly advised. "Everyone here saw with our own eyes the value of the object in young Lin's hands."

"Mmm... How do I explain it."

Xie Feng seemed in a dilemma. He really didn't want any trouble, but after seeing the looks of mockery, disdain, and upset in the eyes of several people he suddenly became angry.

'Damn it! I, your ancestor, had good intentions but you dare to look at me like that? Look at the way your skin is peeling!' He thought torturously.

"Since no one believes me, how about we make a bet?" Xie Feng suddenly proposed.

"Bet?"

Elder Ma seemed surprised at the change of events and the people began to whisper in confusion.

"Alright, a bet!" Xie Feng nodded without hesitation and slowly explained."If I lose, I will give you the formula to create the Heaven's Nectar wine. As you may have heard from little brother Lin Tian, I am the CEO of Magnificent Sky Corporation."

After saying this, Xie Feng looked at Xie Yao but all he got in return was a nod and a beautiful smile. She trusted him with her life, not to mention a company.... How could he not deeply love this kind of girl?

He was to make her the happiest woman in the world! No... Not only Xie Yao, but there was also Gu Qianxue. He still had to clear things up with Mu Wuying and also see how his relationship with Shen Xinya developed.... He had to reciprocate the emotions and feelings of these excellent women as a man worthy of them! To show them that choosing him was the wisest thing they decided to do!

People's faces changed drastically after hearing Xie Feng's words and a serious look appeared on the faces of all of them.
