Chapter 207: The city is full of tricks, I want to go back to the countryside!
After the powerful people from various forces who were queuing outside submitted their requests for changes.
Luo Wen, who was in the side hall of the palace, was smiling broadly.
The performance just now was all planned by Luo Wen, just to take advantage of these forces.
"None of them care about the auction, they just want to take advantage of the situation through backdoors, and bother me every day. How can such a good thing happen?"
Luo Wen slapped the stack of petition papers in his hand, with a very pleased look on his face.
These forces have been here for several days, bothering him in various places, trying to get inside information or discounts or something.
Although I didn't even see him, it was still uncomfortable to be secretly watched by a group of flies.
If these people might not be potential customers or agents raising the price, he would have killed them all long ago.
Now I'm cheating them out of some money, which can be regarded as some compensation for their mental damage.
However, Lowen did not expect that Monkey D. Dragon and cadre Kelra were mixed in here.
Lowen put Long and Kerla last, preparing to greet the others first and deal with the two of them last.
At this time, seeing that more than a dozen people wanted to use 100 million Baileys to buy his autograph, Uta suddenly became excited.
"Lowen, Lowen! My acting is pretty good, right?"
Uta, with red and white hair, sat astride Luo Wen's thighs. Uta put her arms around Luo Wen's neck and proudly took credit for it.
She just acted like a fan, but it was her experience gained from observing the mermaids' expressions towards Loven.
If she were to rate her acting skills, she would give it a full score of 100.
Uta looked at Luo Wen with her bright big eyes, which almost seemed to be praising me.
"Very good, you are not only the best singer, but also the best actor!"
Luo Wen scratched Uta's delicate nose and praised her generously.
"Hehe, it's not that good!"
Although Uta said this, the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously, and it was obvious that he was enjoying it very much.
"Be good, hide first. I'll reward you after I've dealt with those people."
Luo Wen gently kissed Uta on the forehead and said lovingly.
"Hmm~"
Uta's pretty face was slightly red, and she whispered softly, barely perceptible. It was not easy for her to be taken by Luo Wen, and it was not as natural as Nami and Robin, an old married couple.
After saying that, Uta took small and brisk steps and hid in a room at the side.
Seeing that Uta was hiding, Lowen called in the first male fan, Fast, the messenger of the Shipping King.
"Hello, Lord Lowen!"
Fast respectfully handed over a stack of 10,000 Bailey bills with a very proper attitude.
"I admire you, Fast."
Loven took the banknote and just weighed it with his hand. He immediately knew that it was 100 million Baileys and smiled gently.
Then he took out a postcard from a stack of exquisite postcards on the table and wrote his name in a flamboyant manner.
"Lord Lowen, I am your loyal admirer. I am very interested in the artificial devil fruit you are auctioning this time. I hope you can conduct a private transaction with us. We will never let you suffer a loss in terms of price."
Fast was respectful and carefully observed Lowen's reaction.
However, Luo Wen handed over the signed postcard and smiled: "I actually want to trade with you privately, but unfortunately, the auction has already been published in the newspaper, and I am an honest person."
Fast took the postcard, and the smile on his face became forced: "Lord Lowen, we are very sincere!"
"I am also very honest and I stick to my word. Now you have got an autograph worth 100 million Pele, you can leave time for the next fan."
Luo Wen's smile faded and his eyes narrowed slightly.
"Yes, Lord Lowen."
Fast lowered his head unwillingly and could only agree. But if he really took 100 million Pele just to exchange for a signature, it would be a big loss.
So Fast asked without giving up: "Then Lord Luo Wen, do you have any special attention for the auction?"
"Of course. The auction will be held at 12 noon the day after tomorrow. Be careful not to be late."
Luo Wen said briskly, waving his left hand to signal the guest to leave.
This is an important client, it would be bad to be late.
"..."
Fast turned and left with a dark face, and every step was difficult.
One hundred million Baileys, and you only bought this?
It's total robbery!
When he was about to walk out of the palace gate, Fast almost wanted to tear up the postcard in his hand, but when he thought that this piece of paper was worth 100 million Baileys, he finally held it in his arms with great care.
"Fast, what's the situation inside?"
As soon as Fast appeared in front of the people in line, many people immediately asked curiously.
Don’t go, there are scammers in there and there is no information!
Fast almost blurted out, but immediately held back.
How can he hold an umbrella for others after he has been caught in the rain!
“I didn’t get anything.”
Fast had a sad face, and then he left without paying any attention to everyone.
"He must have got something!"
Everyone didn't believe it at all and was looking forward to meeting Luo Wen even more.
So the second one went in and the second one came out.
“I seem to have gained something.”
The second one had a mysterious look on his face and left in a hurry like Fast.
"There really is information in there!"
Everyone was excited and eager to meet Luo Wen.
"I'm going to go back and get ready."
The third one left only one sentence and hurried back.
"I saw wisdom!" (I am an idiot, I was deceived.)
"I saw enlightenment!" (I was mentally retarded and believed his lies.)
"I have gained a lot, and I will never have such a gain again in my life!" (I will never be fooled like this again in my life!)
One after another, people went in and out, and they all seemed very satisfied with what they got.
Soon, everyone who wanted signatures left, leaving only Monkey D. Dragon and Kerla.
"What did they get?"
Monkey D. Dragon and Kerla looked confused and walked to the side hall where Lowen was with curiosity.
"Hello, Lord Lowen!"
Kerla handed 100 million Baileys to Lowen.
Then he looked at Luo Wen with great anticipation, to see what kind of shocking words he could say that would make so many people leave satisfied.
"Hello, Kerla. I didn't expect that there are fans of mine in the Revolutionary Army. You are very cute."
As usual, Lowen handed Kerla an autograph and gave her a casual compliment.
If you just met a girl and don't know how to compliment her, calling her cute is the right thing to do.
And he gave me a red envelope of 1 million Baileys as soon as we met. It was really cute.
"Thank you for the compliment, Lord Lowen!"
Kerla was very happy to receive the praise.
But I am still looking forward to Lowen's surprising words.
"Now that the signature is done, we can talk about your business."
Luo Wen looked at Long and signaled him to start the formal conversation.
"Apart from signing, is there anything else to say?"
Kerla asked in astonishment.
"You can get my precious autograph for 100 million Pele, so what regrets do you have?"
Luo Wen looked as if he had made a fortune.
"One hundred million Pele, just for an autograph!?"
Kerla was very surprised.
If that were all, how could those people with ulterior motives be so satisfied?
Long's face wasn't looking good either. Spending 100 million Baileys on an autograph was simply a huge loss.
He also figured it out. Those guys just now wanted to pass on the loss they suffered.
They all pretended to be very conscientious and actually tricked them all into it.
"Yes, a little trick, it works well."
Luo Wen said in a good mood, and called Uta out of the room and hugged him in his arms.
The feeling of a good harvest always needs to be shared with someone, and the dragon and Kerla in front of us are good examples.
“It turns out this was a scam from the beginning.”
Kerla bent forward in frustration, feeling unwell all over.
Is there still trust between people?
One or two, they’re all tricks!
Is this the intrigue of big cities?
It is terrible!
Kerla, who has been working honestly in the revolutionary army, feels unprecedented malice in the world.
"..."
Long was also very upset, feeling that his idea of getting something for free was doomed.
A man who made billions of dollars with a small trick, what can he use to fool such a smart man like Loven?
Moreover, he lost 100 million as soon as they met, and he was completely at a disadvantage in terms of momentum.
