After five bigwigs in Beijing's elite circle fell into their trap, I fled.

Chapter 69 A Sure-Win Situation
Jiang Shu did not notice the subtle interaction between the two men on the sofa.

But Assistant Yang noticed! Out of the corner of his eye, he saw that the two top bosses, who had been at odds for many years, had actually shaken hands and made peace!
Although the two hands clasped together and then closed, the underlying meaning was still quite chilling!

He didn't have the courage to investigate further.

So I turned my attention to the live stream and politely asked the appraiser, "The third piece, 'Chiwen,' what do you say about it?"

The appraiser exclaimed, "Chimei Wangliang are three types of monsters in Chinese legends. This Chiwen was personally crafted by the Richard family two years ago for a mysterious tycoon in Country F. It means 'the kiss of a ferocious beast.' It is said that the holder of this watch can have ten S-class mercenaries from the world's largest mercenary base, Jitian, perform a single attack on their behalf. Currently, the international price for an S-class mercenary from Jitian is already as high as 30 million. Therefore, even disregarding the cost of the watch itself, the price just for the ten mercenaries involved is 300 million."

Holy crap! This isn't a watch! It's a talisman!

[A favorite among the wealthy! Owning this watch is like having ten super bodyguards...]

[Excuse me, is the Polar Sky Mercenary Base very famous?]

[Upstairs, read some international news! The Extreme Heaven Mercenary Group boasts hundreds of Super S-rank and S-rank elite soldiers, along with tens of thousands of other mercenaries. They roam the shadows year-round, fighting against terror and evil! They are infamous internationally, incredibly cool!]

……

The host was silent for a moment before looking at Nightfall with a complicated expression: "So, Nightfall, Puppet Streamer has brought out three luxury watches. Now, please choose the watch you want to use for the competition..."

Nightfall's face turned pale, and he seemed to want to cry but had no tears.

He looked at the row of the store's prized possessions in front of him...

Normally, any one of these watches would attract countless attention, but at this moment, they were as dim as fireflies. Let alone competing with the bright moon, he felt that simply taking them out into the PK pool would be an insult to the few famous watches on the puppet's side!
Nightfall took a deep breath: "We accept our defeat wholeheartedly. As for these watches of mine, I won't embarrass myself by showing them off—I'd like to request a five-minute commercial break from the host. The puppet show today was quite a shock to me; I need to catch my breath..."

[Haha! We need to take a break! If we don't, we won't be able to continue the PK!]

[After today, I doubt anyone will dare to PK with the puppet anymore... This terrifying crushing pressure will probably escalate into a nightmare for all streamers tomorrow!]

Come on, come on, I need some ads to cool off... Who would have thought that just a few watches could cause such a huge uproar in the live stream!

Nightfall left a message of thanks and temporarily left the live stream. Then, in Nightfall's live stream, staff seamlessly took over and began advertising several popular products…

Magic City.

Nighttime Live Streaming Room Rest Area.

Several leaders in the live streaming industry and Nightfall sat in the conference room, looking at each other in bewilderment.

Nightshade's voice was dry: "I'm not sure about the upcoming PK rounds."

“I understand. That Puppet Man is a monster. He went all out right from the start, and it made us all nervous.” The leader took a deep breath. “But don’t put too much pressure on yourself. If you keep playing like that and we lose, it’s not your fault. Just play your best from now on. I don’t believe the Puppet Man can pull out all these amazing things every time!”

Another leader chimed in: "And don't forget, those four super lots we've prepared..."

Nightshade retorted: "The first of those four items, the diamond, has already suffered a crushing defeat..."

"Aren't there three more items left? Aren't they all better than diamond level? What are you hesitating for!" The leader slammed his fist on the table. "Let's get them!"

Nightfall grabbed a bottle of ice water and gulped it down: "Let me calm down first..." Five minutes later.

The host announced with great enthusiasm: "The second round of the competition is over, and the puppet has won again! Now we will proceed to the third round. Nighttime anchor, please present your second item for tonight's auction!"

The night had returned to its initial calm: "My second item for auction is a box of medicine."

He snapped his fingers coolly, and two more bodyguards carefully appeared in the live stream with a safe...

[The Nightfall streamer has switched to selling health supplements? But has he forgotten that Li Yubai is in charge of the Puppet Man's livestream? With just a wave of his hand, a whole bunch of medicinal herb merchants from around the world would send their best medicines to him, begging him to buy them…]

What medications are still worth keeping in a safe?

Those two bodyguards look so nervous! Could it really be some kind of big treasure?

……

The host raised an eyebrow and laughed: "Did the Nightfall anchor steal Chang'e's elixir?"

"Of course I can't steal Chang'e's elixir." Nightfall smiled faintly. "This is the latest elixir developed by Master Sachi, a peak level eight elixir."

The host's expression changed almost imperceptibly, and his voice trembled slightly: "The president of the Global Pharmacists Association, the world's only level eight alchemist, Sachi?"

In the Puppet Man's live stream, not only did Assistant Yang lose his composure slightly, but even the Puppet Man streamer stiffened for a moment. Then, the sense of irritation could be felt by the vast number of netizens in front of the screen, even through the mask and cloak!
He panicked! He panicked! The puppet finally panicked!

It seems the puppeteer is going to stumble this time! I've heard that Sachi and Li Yubai have a conflict, and his medicine is never supplied to the Li Group…

[A level eight spiritual medicine? Aside from that legendary level ten divine alchemist, this must be the highest-level spiritual medicine on the market!]

The night has finally shown some backbone!

……

Nightfall nodded slightly: "This is indeed the latest research product of that pharmaceutical association president. It is a treasure that the bosses of the three live streaming companies behind me spent a whole year trying to obtain. It is the Level 8 Muscle Regeneration Pill, which has extraordinary effects on large-area burns and scalds."

As they spoke, the safe opened, revealing an exquisite box. Nightfall held the box up to the camera lens and slowly opened the lid.

Five brown pills were placed in a box, causing millions of netizens to gasp in shock!

The host was also very excited: "I heard that the bosses of the three major live streaming giants joined forces to buy a box of top-grade elixirs. Currently, a single pill of a level eight elixir is selling for a high price of 80 million! I never expected that the Nightfall streamer would actually bring out five pills tonight!"

In the puppet-themed livestream room, Jiang Shu was clearly getting restless. Her agitation even drew the attention of the host, who was engrossed in discussing the elixirs!

The host chuckled and asked, "Puppet Master, I never expected Nightfall Streamer to suddenly pull out such a top-tier elixir! From what I understand, your Li Yubai and Master Sachi have a deep-seated feud, and Yan Yu even publicly stated in an interview that he would not associate with the Pharmacist Association. So, Puppet Master, what are your feelings right now?"

Jiang Shu said in a somber tone, "I'm not in a good mood."

Hearing this somewhat dejected tone, Ye Se felt inexplicably relieved!
This wave... should be stable now?
