Volume 1 Chapter 72 A Father's Love Is Like a Mountain
"Na, na, Kiki, our bid has been successful......"
When the middle-aged uncle standing on the high platform loudly announced that the Corzi Islands were sold for $75 billion, it also meant that the auction ended the curtain, and then there was unhesitant applause from the onlookers...... Well, none of that matters to me, but I can't help but smile when I see Lux happy.
"Well, we made it......" I was going to say something like "it's just that the price seems to be a bit ......" or something, but I didn't say it when I saw the flower-like smile on Lux's pretty face, well, the result is good for us anyway, so we don't have to worry about these details...... Perhaps.
Just as the above somewhat unpleasant thoughts were spinning in my mind, in order to celebrate the success of the auction, Lux had already opened a bottle of Yoyo brand matcha custard for herself to celebrate, of course, the royal etiquette has long been deeply rooted in the instinct of Lux can not do as heroic drinking as Kong Wanying, she just takes small sips, small sips.
When the warm applause gradually stopped and the onlookers left the venue one after another, Lux put down the Yoyo brand matcha custard that he was holding with both hands, "Kiki, it's time to get ready to put the finishing touches, then...... People contact Alice first. Hearing this, I naturally nodded when I came back from the mixed thoughts.
In fact, the so-called finishing work is just payment, but the easiest step is the most troublesome for us, because we don't have as much as $75 billion in money, so Lux contacted Alice - in order to complete the finishing work of the auction.
"Uncle Reed, where's their bag?"
As a self-propelled humanoid bag hanger, it is natural to be responsible for carrying the bag for Lux under normal circumstances, so when Lux looked for her body but did not find her bag, she naturally found Reed's head, and Reed lived up to her expectations, taking off the cartoon bag hanging on her arm and handing it to Lux.
"Thank you, Uncle Reed......"
After thanking him, Lux began to dig through her small bag, and after a while, she found her smartphone - a 5-inch Aikaka 3S with a cartoon rabbit shell.
"Alice, Alice......"
"It's me, Your Highness Lux."
"Did Kiki let you pass the proposal to your father?"
"Originally, Your Excellency Siegel didn't have time to think about the purpose, but I emphasize that this was specially instructed by you, and His Excellency Siegel only took a look, and just now, His Excellency Siegel has agreed that you and His Highness Qi have a plan for the construction of the Coolzi Islands."
Whew (Lux patted her small chest and breathed a sigh of relief) ...... That...... Alice, how much money does your father give to her for this project? (That's the key, and Lux gets nervous again.)
"Considering the reputation of 'Paradise', Siegel estimated that the final transaction price should be around $80 billion to $100 billion, so His Excellency Siegel specially approved me $100 billion as payment funds."
"Huh? Huh...... How could my father come up with such an outrageous price? (Lux turns her head and comes to a conclusion) Is it Alice that you deliberately exaggerated some of the news? β
ββ¦β¦ This is just your speculation. (Hearing this, Lux immediately knew that she had guessed correctly))"
"Hmm...... Will my father find out about this? People don't believe that my father would be so negligent. β
"Yes, Your Highness Lux, you are not wrong in your thoughts, but Lord Siegel is your father after all...... No matter what, he will always support you in everything you do. β
Hearing this, Lux was stunned, she originally thought that it was impossible for Siegel not to notice this, but now when she heard Alice's statement, Lux knew that Siegel was obviously pretending to be confused, in the end, Siegel was still worried that her only daughter would suffer, right?
"As long as you can get the results you want, it doesn't matter if you spend a little more money, after all, money can be earned again, but intangible things can't be accumulated in a moment - such as confidence, such as experience, such as insight. These are the words that His Excellency Siegel said 'unintentionally' when he left the mansion. β
Hearing this sentence that didn't look like a simulant, Lux instantly understood Siegel's state of mind, and a wave of emotion was like a hot warm current surging into Lux's heart, which was the warmth called 'happiness', which made Lux's eyes can't help but be filled with layers of fog, "Thank you, father......"
After the tea, Lux woke up from the touch of her father's love, she sniffed, and was about to speak, but felt a pair of warm hands gently wipe away the layers of fog from her eyes. The vision gradually changed from blurry to clear, and when the real, colorful world came into view, Lux saw a girl-like face appear in front of her......
"Thank you, my knight......"
The warmth in her heart seemed to be thicker and warmer, and Lux couldn't help but sniff again, and then showed a shallow smile, which was like a flower blooming after the rain, full of fresh beauty, intoxicating.
I didn't answer, just looked at her with a smile on my face.
"So...... Alice, are you already on your way to the fair auction house? β
"Yes, I have already gone out after His Excellency Siegel has allocated the funds to me...... It is still about 10 minutes away from the fair auction house. β
"Very well, then they will be waiting for you at the fair auction house."
"Hmmm......"
When the connection was over, Lux put her phone down, looked up at me, and threw herself into my arms. I could feel Lux's soft, petite body trembling slightly, and it was clear that the words that Siegel had asked Alice to convey were still affecting Lux.
I was also deeply touched by Siegel's deep fatherly love for Lux, but I only regained my mind after a while, I lowered my head, and saw that Luxs was still sobbing softly, so I stretched out my hand and gently patted Lux's back, and softly comforted: "After going home, Luxe just thank her father well, be good, don't cry......"
"Hmmm......"
Hearing my gentle words, Lux answered in a low nasal voice, but did not lift her head from my arms, still holding me tightly.
Seeing this, I shook my head helplessly, "Forget it, let Lux rest." With that in mind, I raised my head and glanced at the auction room. At this time, the originally lively and noisy auction hall has been deserted because of the departure of the onlookers, and there are only two or three kittens left, uh, wait, isn't that Li Rong and his party?
I looked at the five figures walking towards us, two of whom I knew were bodyguards as soon as they were dressed, and Lirong Kassim, whom we had met in December, was holding the hand of another man with the same hair color and eyes as her, who was walking in the middle of the group, and it seemed that he was the leader, and next to this man was the sad man who had been beaten by Lirong and the black-haired man who was holding her hand - uh, I mean the blonde man who suspected to be Rasti Kver.
The group walked straight toward where we were, and in a short time stood before us.
The black-haired man and the blonde man were looking at the four of us, and I was naturally observing them, until Lirong spoke, and the atmosphere suddenly became solemn, "It's been a long time, strange...... Your Highness, Your Highness Lux, well, and Miss Kong......"
Lirong was visibly hesitant to address us, but in the end she chose the honorific title, as for Reed, whom she ignored...... No way, who called Reed's face not much different from the other bodyguards? It is also a matter of course to be ignored, if Li Yalin is here, Li Rong probably won't ignore it - his face is completely used to scare people.
Of course, I also admit that Li Yalin not only scares people with his face, he will also - kill!
"Long time no see, Banyan ......"
Lirong's choice made me sigh secretly, it seems that my friend can't do anything.
"Huh? It's really Sister Lirong. β
While some frustrating thoughts were spinning in my mind, Lux, who heard Lirong's greeting, finally lifted her little head from my arms, and when she turned her head to look, she saw Lirong and her group. She first glanced at the black-haired man and the blonde man curiously, and then greeted Lirong with a friendly attitude.
"It's been a long time......
Lux's soft tone, cordial attitude and peaceful title made Lirong's expression warm, she actually didn't want to lose these two friends, but in public, Lirong was not easy to call her by her first name, so she used the honorific title before.
"Would you like to sit down?"
Kong Wanying, who had recovered from the influence of Huo Yan's terrifying eyes, greeted politely, but thinking about it with her ass, she knew that Lirong and her party would definitely refuse, the reason, don't forget that the Kassim family and the Klein family have a grudge.
"No, no, we still have things to deal with."
Li Rong hurriedly refused, it didn't matter if it was a private meeting and a sitting, but now, in front of the public (in fact, there are few people in the venue now), it can't be.
"Oh...... Then people won't send you away, goodbye. β
Lux first glanced at Lirong strangely, and saw that her face was a little embarrassed, and then suddenly remembered that the occasion was not right, and after understanding Lirong's difficulties, Lux did not hold back, and smiled and waved goodbye to Lirong.
"Hmm...... Good bye. β
Lirong opened her mouth to say something, but finally stopped blurting out the words and silently said goodbye to us.

"The boy with long black hair? Girl? Is that Lux's fiancΓ©? β
After stepping up the aisle and away from the position of Lux and the others, Rasti spoke, to which Lirong naturally nodded.
"He's so cute, don't you think? Ya. β
Hearing Rasti's incomprehensible words, Ya walked silently for a while, then raised his head to look at the glimmering exit, and said slowly: "Although it is cute, it is ...... Not to be underestimated. β
