OFR – Chapter 239 Luxury and debauchery

Facing Kang Yunyun’s warm reminder, Mu Bai casually glanced at the people beside him and saw that Nalan Yunshao, Dongfang Jing, and the others were already full and had lost interest in staying in the private room.

So he stood up and softly said to Kang Yunyun, “It’s fine. Let them handle the arrangements. But if it’s convenient for you, please let the senior consul from the Daoke Alliance know when they arrive and ask them to arrange three consecutive private rooms.”

“Oh, okay, got it. But, Mr. Mu, should I help you collect the invitations later?” Kang Yunyun asked respectfully.

“Mm, sure. If you can’t, just let us know.”

At this moment, Mu Bai, Nalan Yunshao, and Dongfang Jing smiled when they heard Kang Yunyun’s obedient response, then stood up to leave.

Their impression of Kang Yunyun improved slightly.

After all, most of the time, the three of them didn’t need the people around them to have great abilities—being obedient and willing to help with simple tasks was enough.

And Kang Yunyun happened to be just such a person.

“No trouble at all! I’m more than happy to serve Mr. Mu, Mr. Yun, and Ms. Jing.”

Seeing the trio smile at her, Kang Yunyun’s beautiful face lit up with a hint of excitement and joy.

Amid her continuous expressions of gratitude, Mu Bai and the others slowly walked out of the private room. Since they had all been on a flight for the entire morning, they seemed a bit tired.

At the entrance, after a few casual exchanges, they each turned and returned to their own luxurious and comfortable suites to rest.

Mu Bai naturally returned to the suite arranged for him by General Manager Zhang Yunchuan.

His and the others’ suites were among the highest-grade suites at the Dejing Hotel.

They came with private spa facilities and various top-quality, luxurious furnishings that were in no way inferior to those in Mu Bai’s Xuanwu Zhongshan Villa.

As for the sofa and bed, they were exceptionally comfortable—perhaps even slightly better than those in his villa.

Mu Bai was quite satisfied with such a comfortable room. He first went to the bathroom for a hot shower, changed into the perfectly clean bathrobe provided, and then lay down on the bed.

Once comfortable, he casually pulled out his phone from his pocket and glanced at the time, realizing that it was already past seven in the evening.

It seemed that he, Nalan Yunshao, and the others had spent the entire afternoon turning their lunch into dinner.

This made him chuckle helplessly.

For some who love drinking, a drinking session lasting several hours is common, but this was the first time Mu Bai had ever eaten for so long, which he found amusing.

After a light laugh, Mu Bai checked the few unread text messages he had received during the meal.

They were mostly bank deposit notifications, including one stating that 500 million had been frozen:

“Dear user, on January 29th at 13:02, your account ending in 2868 received 7,000,000.00 yuan. Current balance: 687,600,000.00 yuan. The account has 500,000,000.00 yuan frozen.”

“Dear user, on January 29th at 14:01, your account ending in 2868 received 200,000.00 yuan. Current balance: 707,600,000.00 yuan. The account has 500,000,000.00 yuan frozen.”

“Dear user, on January 29th at 14:39, your account ending in 2868 received 500,000.00 yuan. Current balance: 757,600,000.00 yuan. The account has 500,000,000.00 yuan frozen.”

So far, his bank account had received over 700 million yuan, indicating that the auction items sent by Fengshen Express had mostly reached their buyers.

Mu Bai figured that by tomorrow, around two billion out of the expected 2.5 billion should be in his account. Even after offering a 40% cashback to customers, the remaining funds would be more than enough for him to purchase rare flora and fauna.

Of course, if there were any particularly interesting treasures at the exchange, he would still make a bid for them.

With this in mind, he exited the notification section and planned to search online for any information about the rare treasures expected at the Daoke Exchange.

In this era of the internet, details about many events often get leaked online ahead of time.

But after searching for a while, Mu Bai found nothing useful about the Daoke Exchange, highlighting how exceptionally strict their confidentiality measures were—possibly even exceeding some government-organized events.

However, he did come across something interesting in an online news article posted by an editor and freelance journalist using the ID “Diligent Little Hu.”

[A daring journalist reveals the secrets of an exchange on the dark side of society, one that is no less extravagant and indulgent than the Haitian Banquet.]

The eye-catching headline had already attracted hundreds of thousands of views and thousands of comments and shares in a short time, showing that this “Diligent Little Hu” was quite skilled at generating traffic.

Mu Bai’s interest was piqued because the news article contained some real information, listing some of the famous tycoons expected to attend this Daoke Exchange.

[Yue’an City’s Daoke Exchange has already become a storm of power, gathering countless wealthy elites. The confirmed major forces attending are enough to astonish anyone—among them are Japan’s Mitsui Consortium, China’s Liang Trade Group, America’s Citigroup, the son of Australia’s richest man, and Dacai from the Golden Triangle region (see the end of the news for the complete list of participants).

It’s also rumored that the exchange has prepared an ample supply of premium liquors like Louis XIII, Lafite, and Romanée-Conti for these tycoons, and even renowned courtesans from high-end clubs around the world will be present, ready to serve the elite attendees.

In essence, this is a grand gathering of the wealthy, a hedonistic feast of luxury, where the rich and powerful enjoy the world’s finest pleasures.]

After reading the news, Mu Bai even carefully checked the detailed list of attendees at the end.

He noticed that only Dongfang Jing’s name among the three of them appeared on the list, while his and Nalan Yunshao’s names were absent.

This suggested that many top tycoons remained unlisted, but even so, the lineup of wealthy elites was already more impressive than that of some domestic high-end gatherings.

This made Mu Bai realize that tomorrow’s Daoke Exchange might indeed turn out to be a grand, opulent gathering of the world’s wealthiest.
