Chapter 100: Straightforward—A Windfall!-Mass Job Change: My Skills Are All Forbidden Spells with a Ten Thousand Times Boost(By the banks of the Ruoshui River, the wine cups drift along the gentle current.)

“Mr. Lin, your Earthen Armor and Blood Slaughter Saber fetched a total of six billion three hundred fifty million Star Dragon coins at auction. According to the rules of Millennium Commerce City, we charge a twenty percent commission, which amounts to one billion two hundred seventy million Star Dragon coins. Adding the ninety million Star Dragon coins you bid earlier for the Number Three Ruins Fragment, the total comes to one billion three hundred sixty million Star Dragon coins.”
“We had previously advanced you one hundred million Star Dragon coins, so the remaining sum is four billion eight hundred ninety million Star Dragon coins, all of which has now been transferred to your account.”
Manager Liu rattled off the figures with practiced ease, providing Lin Han with a detailed account.
Lin Han grumbled, “Manager Liu, we’ve known each other for quite some time, but you really are a dyed-in-the-wool profiteer.”
“Six billion three hundred fifty million, and you just take away one billion two hundred seventy million like that? Isn’t that a bit much?”
“We’re old acquaintances—can’t you cut me a deal?”
“Twenty percent is too high. How about five percent?”
“Return the rest to me, and we’ll still be friends.”
Manager Liu smiled, “Mr. Lin, let’s not haggle over small change. Besides, these are the rules of Millennium Commerce City. They’re out of my hands.”
“How about this? I’ll have that Supreme expert protect you for a while.”
“You’ll be escorted safely home tonight.”
“Don’t try to trick me,” Lin Han retorted. “Xiao Tao already told me that the Supreme expert would have my back for three days, with or without your say-so.”
Manager Liu sighed helplessly, “Mr. Lin, these are indeed the rules of Millennium Commerce City, but I can have him pay extra attention to you.”
“Never mind, leave it at that,” Lin Han said, not wanting to waste any more time. After all, Manager Liu was just an employee; there was no need to press further.
“Then I’ll be on my way.”
With these words, Lin Han’s face transformed into that of an ordinary young man.
Manager Liu looked on in amazement. “It seems your disguise skills have become quite proficient, Mr. Lin.”
“Naturally. It’s not all that difficult,” Lin Han replied curtly. He had, after all, purchased this equipment from Manager Liu, though he would never reveal that he’d enhanced it a thousandfold into a legendary artifact.
“Shall I see you out, Mr. Lin?”
Lin Han quickly waved him off. “Best not. If you accompany me, I’ll stand out even more.”
“Then take care, Mr. Lin.”
...

Lin Han stepped out of the auction house. By now, the entrance was swarming with people. Word of the night’s events had spread, and reporters from every major outlet had gathered at the doors.
They all had but one target—
The mysterious figure who had contended with the Ma family that evening!
But as Lin Han brushed past the crowd, not a single one gave him a second glance; they dismissed him outright as not their quarry.
Though this was precisely the effect Lin Han desired, a faint annoyance lingered at being so wholly overlooked.
He paid it no mind and headed off toward home.
He was now a man worth nearly five billion Star Dragon coins—one of the wealthiest in the entire city of Luminous Moon, surely ranking among the very top.
Just as he passed through a narrow alley, a voice called out to him.
“Hey, kid. You wouldn’t happen to be the one who crossed the Ma family at the auction, would you?”
Lin Han glanced into the darkness. The voice was all too familiar—Ma Tianxing!
It was indeed Ma Tianxing! He hadn’t expected this fellow to pursue him here.
Feigning confusion, Lin Han replied, “What are you talking about? I’ve been on the first floor the whole time. How could I possibly be that mysterious person?”
“Keep pretending!”
Ma Tianxing and his sister Ma Tianxin stepped forward. “True, I saw you in the VIP lounge on the first floor, but that person left the auction house long ago.”
“And yet here you are, wearing his face as you walk out. Who else would we suspect if not you?”
A sense of gravity settled in Lin Han’s heart. He hadn’t anticipated that these two would be so ruthless, or that they’d managed to check so many people in so short a time.
They’d even identified him at once.
It seemed not all these scions of great families were useless wastrels.
“Hand it over,” Ma Tianxing demanded, extending his hand. “If you don’t want to die in this cold, dark alley, give it up now.”
Lin Han feigned ignorance. “I have no idea what you’re talking about. If someone impersonated me, why come after me?”
“Still refusing to admit the truth? Bring him out!”
At Ma Tianxing’s command, a burly middle-aged man emerged from the shadows, dragging out someone who looked exactly like Lin Han.

“From the moment you appeared, we had someone capture him. Did you really think you could get away tonight?”
The middle-aged man reported, “Second Miss, Fourth Young Master, I’ve checked his communication devices and identification—this is definitely the man.”
“Good.”
Ma Tianxing sneered, “Anything else you’d like to say?”
Seeing the ruse was up, Lin Han dropped the act. “The Number Three Ruins Fragment is indeed in my possession. I paid for it. Why should I hand it over to you?”
“If you know what’s good for you, we’ll give you ninety million, you hand over the fragment, and publicly apologize to the Ma family. Then we’ll let this matter drop,” Ma Tianxin said coldly.
“Ninety million? You must be joking. Two hundred million—for the Number Three Ruins Fragment—and you’ll be my housekeeper for two years. How’s that sound?” Lin Han replied with a smirk.
He had to admit, Ma Tianxin was a stunning beauty in both figure and face—the very image of a dream girl for countless men.
Having someone like her as a housekeeper might not be so bad...
“You’re courting death!”
The burly man, who had been standing behind the siblings, stepped forward and punched, sending a fierce gust of wind sweeping through the alley. Lin Han, however, stood calmly in place.
At that moment, a figure slipped out from behind Lin Han and blocked the blow.
“Who are you?”
The middle-aged man fell back, eyeing the woman warily.
“Have you all forgotten the rules of Millennium Commerce City? For three days, no one is allowed to harm our buyers, no matter who they are.”
Her voice was icy, utterly devoid of emotion.
“So you’re the Supreme expert from Millennium Commerce City?” the middle-aged man said, scanning her up and down. “I didn’t expect you to be such a young woman.”
“If I’m not mistaken, you must be the newly ascended Shadowless Goddess of Assassins—Feihua.”
Feihua smiled lightly. “You have a sharp eye. That’s right, I am Feihua. This man is under my protection tonight. None of you may touch him.”
“You think, just because you’ve only recently achieved the rank of Goddess of Assassins, that I can’t lay a hand on you?”
