Chapter 196 The Hero's Confidence

"2 billion Yuan," echoed a bid from the crowd.

The statement sent shockwaves through the onlookers, catching even Long Tian and Xiao Jun off guard. All eyes swiftly turned to the origin of the voice, revealing none other than Lin Fan.

Distrust and uncertainty immediately clouded their expressions.

Su Dongzhu was no exception. He chose to inquire, "Before I confirm your bid, young one, I'd like to ask one thing. Do you actually have 2 billion Yuan?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Fan smiled instead. "I'm sure many people here have more than 2 billion in their accounts. They just don't dare to face Long Tian. But me, I'm not afraid. And 2 billion... That's a small number for me," he said with a smug grin.

Su Dongzhu found the tone convincing when hearing this, and Lin Fan's confidence was palpable. After all, there were consequences if Lin Fan was pretending...

"Alright, 2 billion Yuan from the youth with number 35!" he announced. Then, his gaze focused on Long Tian. "And will you surrender, young master Long Tian?" he asked.

On the other hand, Long Tian remained composed, though he was seething with anger inside. Lin Fan chose to play, so he would indulge him.

He promptly raised his hand and bid, "2.3 billion Yuan."

Before Su Dongzhu could announce, Lin Fan interrupted, "3 billion Yuan," his tone calm with a smirking expression.

Amidst renewed surprise, Xiao Jun couldn't contain his concern.

"Lin Fan, have you lost your mind? If Long Tian counters again, you'll truly go bankrupt!" he exclaimed in a hushed tone.

"Don't worry, Brother Xiao. I genuinely have 3 billion," Lin Fan responded with a smirk.

Xiao Jun fell silent, grappling with Lin Fan's unexpected confidence. In the end, he chose not to say anything more.

On the other side, Long Tian showed no signs of yielding. "3.5 billion!" he declared.

"5 billion Yuan," Lin Fan countered confidently.

With these words, a collective surprise marked the expressions of everyone present. The special token from the Jun family... Surely, they knew about it and why it was called special.

If Lin Fan's statement was true, then they knew the reason why Lin Fan dared to bid with a figure of 5 billion.

"With this token, can I settle the price of that auction item?" Lin Fan inquired, a grin spreading across his face.

Su Dongzhu adopted a serious expression. "Indeed, with that token, you are entitled to use it once for the auction. However, are you certain it is the authentic special token from the Jun family?" he asked, his tone grave.

"Absolutely genuine. Feel free to verify it," Lin Fan replied, his grin persisting as he tossed the jade pendant to Su Dongzhu.

Catching the jade, Su Dongzhu scrutinized it. However, lacking expertise, he couldn't definitively confirm its authenticity.

"I'm sorry, but I need to consult with a bona fide member of the Jun family to verify the legitimacy of this token," he stated.

"Sure, go ahead," Lin Fan responded confidently.

With that acknowledgment, Su Dongzhu promptly exited the stage.

The atmosphere buzzed with lively murmurs as people discussed Lin Fan.

Xiao Jun, meanwhile, wore an expression of amazement. Finally comprehending why Lin Fan had no qualms about spending 5 billion yuan, he was convinced that Lin Fan was telling the truth.

"Brother Lin, I apologize for doubting you earlier. I never expected you actually possessed a special token from the Jun family," he admitted.

"No need to mention it, Brother Xiao. If I say everything is under control, then everything is under control," Lin Fan responded confidently.

Xiao Jun nodded upon hearing this, grateful for his friendship with Lin Fan.

As everyone awaited Su Dongzhu's return, Lin Fan maintained a relaxed expression, a smile playing on his lips.

He glanced toward the VIP floor, meeting Long Tian's gaze. However, his smile faded when he saw Long Tian grinning back at him.

Lin Fan furrowed his brow. He anticipated seeing Long Tian angry or dismayed, not grinning.

'Is he still pretending? Just watch who ends up losing in the end!' Lin Fan thought optimistically.
