Seeing that he really chose Hong Dali as his target, the Double Honorary Aristocrats from Li Tianxing’s side instantly burst out laughing—

“Hahaha, he really chose Hong Dali that famous prodigal!”

“That’s right, I only heard of this today. Speaking of which, how did he become a Double Honorary Aristocrat? That’s really amazing!”

“I heard that he came through the back door. Oh my, he has connections with the Galaxy Aristocrats!”

“Did you hear? It’s said that even quite a lot of their own people sold him their estates that were on the brink of bankruptcy, but he bought all of them!”

“He is indeed a superprodigal, giving capital to others for free, and in the end got scolded for being an idiot in return. This is really interesting!”

“Quick, look around, where is Hong Dali?”

Therefore, everyone started to look towards the area where the Double Honorary Aristocrats of the Jiang and Yin Families were at. Very quickly, they saw Hong Dali hugging Acka in his arms. This time, they laughed even louder. “Hahaha, quick, look, he’s actually playing with a bird!”

“Playing with a bird? This is such a promising job, oh my, what kind of bird is he playing with?”

“Of course it’s the bird that he’s hugging, what other bird can there be? Oh, you mean… Hahahaha, that bird!”

“He is actually still able to play with a bird at such a moment, his heart is really strong, haha!”

“Of course his heart is strong. If not, how can he squander like this?”

Even Jiang Dongliu stared in bewilderment. This bunch of people were really daring, the first challenger directly picked Hong Dali already!?

Hearing their discussions, then looking at the others beside him who looked like they wished they could keep a 10-meter distance from him, Hong Dali sniffled. Honestly speaking, Hong Dali was quite curious, did these people really thought that he was an easy target?

Now that they had already laughed and the challenger had already picked his target, the duel was about to start.

The aristocrat on stage, Jinglun, even arrogantly pointed at Hong Dali and loudly said, “Dali, are you ready?”

“Oh, so-so,” Hong Dali casually replied and continued to play with Acka.

“Hahahaha, quick, look, he doesn’t even dare to reply!”

“That’s right, it looks like there really isn’t anything that he can do. He’s still playing with his bird now, at least this way, we won’t be able to see his face!”

“That’s right, haha. But the problem is, his bird isn’t good-looking too!”

Honestly speaking, Jinglun was quite confident in challenging Hong Dali.

His business had a net profit ratio of as high as 113%. Such a ratio was already quite impressive! After all, for businesses that were above tens of millions, being able to have a net profit ratio of 50% was already a very good result.

As for Hong Dali? He was just an infamous superprodigal, how would such a person be a match for him?

Humph, as long as I can successfully demote Hong Dali, I will definitely earn the favor of Young Master Tianxing!

“Then, the first pair is Aristocrat.Jinglun and Aristocrat.Hong Dali.” The emcee loudly announced: “Challenge, start!”

Then, the entire hall fell silent.

Everyone stared tightly at the image of the holographic projection. Lightning sparked between their head portraits, and after a series of explosion sounds which lasted about 10 seconds, the result was finally out!

Hong Dali won!

“Ah!?” Jinglun had originally prepared to celebrate, but seeing this result, his entire face instantly changed color!

He actually lost! In the duel with Hong Dali, he actually lost!?

“No, this isn’t possible, how is it possible that I lost!?” Jinglun was stunned. He wasn’t confident that he could win over the other higher-level people, but he actually lost to this prodigal Hong?

Everyone on Li Tianxing’s side all stood up.

Jinglun actually lost? Lost to that superprodigal Hong Dali? This is not real, right?

“How is it possible that Jinglun will lose? He has always been quite impressive. Is the system faulty?”

“Probably not. How can it be possible that the system is faulty in such a situation? It looks like this Hong Dali isn’t as simple as we thought.”

“Yup, but he is just probably lucky. It’s possible that he won over Jinglun by a tiny bit.”

“Right, it’s definitely that he’s just lucky.”

The people on Li Tianxing’s side were all surprised and shocked. Honestly speaking, they never thought that this superprodigal Hong would win. While they were being surprised, the people on the Jiang and Yin Families’ side all cheered!

No matter what the case was, the people on Li Tianxing’s side had a high success rate previously! Every time a person from Li Tianxing’s side made a challenge, the people on this side would all feel very nervous.

Now, their person actually failed when challenging Hong Dali, especially coupled with the arrogant words that Jinglun said just now…

This time, they truly made a comeback and made up for some of their losses!

“Hong Dali, press on. I support you!”

“That’s right. Hong Dali, you are indeed not simple!”

“Hong Dali, impressive!”

Cheers like this sounded continuously, but Hong Dali sat on the chair calmly and continued to play with the bird, totally ignoring them—Speaking of which, Acka has already eaten more than 40 attribute gemstones today. Isn’t he full yet?

At this moment, the Double Honorary Aristocrat who kept a distance from Hong Dali just now came back again and softly asked Hong Dali, “Aren’t you in the least worried? The next person will probably choose you again.”

“Ah, that doesn’t matter.” Hong Dali placed Acka on his head and said, “This is quite boring…”

Of course, although the people on Li Tianxing’s side were all quite surprised, it was normal for accidents to happen sometimes, it was normal to both win and lose. After all, the luck of a person was very hard to predict.

Very quickly, the emcee loudly said, “Regrettably, Young Master Jinglun’s challenge failed. Then, may the next challenger, Young Master Lean, come on stage and choose your opponent.”

The second challenger came on stage. This one was a red-haired young man. He looked at the head portraits of the 12 Orange and Yellow-level Double Honorary Aristocrats and the same as Jinglun, resolutely pointed at Hong Dali’s portrait and said, “I choose to challenge Hong Dali.”

As expected, he picked Hong Dali too!

This time, everyone stared with big eyes, preparing to see if Hong Dali could defeat the second challenger again.

Huaqing sat on his seat and inaudibly said, “Humph, he’s seeking death.”

Other people didn’t know of Hong Dali’s capability, but he was very clear of it—other matters aside, just the shops at Star Harbor alone, how much would those be worth!?

The entire hall was silent, and even the sound of a pin dropping on the floor could be heard.

“Then, the second challenger.” The emcee loudly shouted, “Challenge start!”

“BUZZ—!!” Again, another series of sparks. Very quickly, the result was out. Young Master Lean’s challenge failed!

“What the heck! This can’t be true, right? The challenge actually failed again!?” Everyone was astonished.

If the previous one could be boiled down to Hong Dali’s luckiness, what about this time’s failure? Was Hong Dali’s luck really that good?

“Illusion, this is definitely an illusion! Maybe Lean’s capability is even lower than Jinglun’s in the first place, so it isn’t strange that he lost as well.”

“Right, that’s definitely the case. After all, we don’t know whose net profit ratio is higher between Jinglun and Lean too, isn’t it?”

“That’s for sure. Just watch on, the other two will definitely challenge Hong Dali too!”

“I actually also failed?” Lean frowned and thought. “How strong is this Hong Dali? My net profit ratio is 117%! Such a ratio shouldn’t be a problem in winning him.”

Although his challenge failed, Lean could only silently accept this reality.

He didn’t have any other options too, he only had one chance. Before the final challenge was over, everyone’s net profit ratio was hidden. However, wasn’t there a saying that says that luck was also part of a person’s strength?

“He actually won again.” Li Xuancheng’s understanding of Hong Dali was mainly focused on what kind of person he was. As for Hong Dali’s assets, with Li Xuancheng’s identity, Li Xuancheng naturally wouldn’t need to go and understand that. However, he didn’t expect Hong Dali to be able to win twice in a row. That was indeed quite strange.

Very quickly, it was the third challenger’s turn.

This third challenger was from the Jiang and Yin Families’ side, Young Master Minglun.

“Then, may the third challenger come on stage.”

Minglun was 31-years-old and looked slightly older amongst the others. He walked in front of the portraits, looked for quite a while, then lastly fixed his eyes on a Double Honorary Aristocrat from the Li Family. “I shall choose him.”

He actually didn’t pick Hong Dali!

The Honorary Aristocrats from the Jiang and Yin Families all applauded and cheered. Even the normally insipid Jiang Qianxue smiled as well and said, “This person is not bad. I thought that he’d definitely choose to challenge Dali too.”

“Me too.” Yin Tianzong smiled and nodded. “Looks like he has quite high emotional intelligence. Yup, I shall groom him more after we return home.”

Of course, whether he had high emotional intelligence or not wasn’t important. What was important was that his challenge failed too…

Although it was quite a pity, it was really a big deal too. Finally, it was time for the last person to challenge!

“Then, may the last challenger for this round come on stage!”

The last person was from Li Tianxing’s side too, Aristocrat.Gaojie. After he came on stage, out of everyone’s expectation, he actually didn’t pick Hong Dali but chose someone unexpected.

“I choose him.” Gaojie picked at one of the 12 people, smiled and said, “Aristocrat.Huaqing.”

Upon hearing this name, the originally drowsy Hong Dali was instantly invigorated!

Although he didn’t have a lot of interaction with this Huaqing, they could still be considered normal friends too. But now, someone actually chose to challenge him?

Hong Dali turned around his head and looked towards Huaqing. At the same time, Huaqing also looked towards him, then softly sighed.

“Challenge start!”
