Chapter 483

"Of course, my saying this is not to make you empathize—nor is it possible for the descendants of Yanhuang to truly empathize with the humiliation and trauma inflicted upon us over the past century. I say so much simply to make my stance clear!" "As for the twelve animal heads, let alone nine million pounds, even ninety million pounds, or nine hundred million pounds, I, Ye Chen, can afford it. But I cannot buy them, nor am I allowed to buy them. It is not because I am reluctant to spend the money; rather, these twelve animal heads, lost through the plunder of invaders, should not return to the land of Shenzhou through such a frenzied bidding war. Not only me, but hundreds of millions of Chinese people find this completely unacceptable!" "However, I, Ye Chen, have always respected the rules. I know the organizers are merely acting as agents, so I will not overstep basic principles and rules. The starting bid of nine million pounds—I will call it! But I sincerely and earnestly hope that nine million pounds is both the first and the last bid."
