Chapter 129 Meeting Astraea again
Arriving in Venice, you will be amazed by this city built on water.

The medieval bell towers, churches, and painted buildings that can be seen everywhere make people feel like they are immersed in the history of Europe, as if they have traveled through time and space.

There are no cars in Venice, not even bicycles. All means of transportation are boats and gondolas, a black water beast.

When they reached the shore, the members of the National Team went their separate ways, each looking for a place to practice and retreat. Before the competition began, they could allocate their time freely.

The group dispersed, and Luo Chen was dragged by Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan to visit Zhao Manyan's auction house.

The Zhao family is one of the most prominent families in the world. They have enormous wealth and almost all auction houses around the world have shares of the Zhao family.

The magnificent San Marco World Auction House in front of us is naturally one of them.

"Woc, sure, Lao Zhao, do you have a share in this auction house so far away?"

Mo Fan said in surprise.

Zhao Manyan brought the two people here naturally with the intention of showing off. After hearing Mo Fan's praise, he couldn't help but shook his head.

"It's just so-so. Luo Ge, Mo Fan, if you have anything you like, just tell me..."

Before Zhao Manyan finished playing, a familiar voice sounded in his ears!

"Zhao Manyan!"

As soon as he stepped into the hall, he heard a handsome man wearing beach pants and sunglasses standing in front of the door and walking towards Zhao Manyan.

“Brother, you are so busy, yet you specially come to pick me up…” Zhao Manyan looked at the man in sunglasses and said excitedly.

However, before Zhao Manyan could finish his words, the man in sunglasses raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why are you here?"

"???"

……

Luo Chen silently watched the conversation between Zhao Manyan and his brother.

In the eyes of others, they are just a bunch of brothers who are a little awkward, but at least there is still some brotherhood between them now.

But Luo Chen knew that in the original novel, after Zhao Manyan won the championship in Huaxia State, the old man of the Zhao family could no longer hold on and decided to hand over the inheritance rights to Zhao Manyan. Even this pitiful brotherhood would disappear...

........................

Walking into the VIP room, the receptionists wearing blue rippled long skirts are all top-notch beauties. Their big bunions and perky buttocks are wrapped in the skirts, full of temptation that is ready to burst out.

"Chengzi, I feel like Lao Zhao is not here to take us on a tour, but is here specifically to take advantage of the girl." Mo Fan muttered.

"Don't feel anything. It's not like you just met him on the first day. What you guessed must be the truth."

Luo Chen also said with a smile.

"Don't be ridiculous. You can touch these girls whenever you want. They sell their art but not their bodies. They must be pure and innocent. If they do that, they will be fired immediately.

These girls are very chaste, and money can't buy them... He would have to have a perfect and handsome appearance like me."

Zhao Manyan said.

However, at this moment, before Zhao Manyan could introduce himself, the girl in the rippling blue skirt came over and said with a smile:

"Sir, we only receive VIPs here. Please move to the VIP room next door."

Zhao Manyan frowned and said unhappily, "I am Zhao Youqian's younger brother."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Zhao has said that this place must be reserved for that distinguished guest." said the woman in the blue skirt with ripples.

"Puchi. Lao Zhao, show us your handsome and perfect looks! If that doesn't work, we can move to other places!"

Mo Fan couldn't help but laugh out loud, and Luo Chen couldn't help but smile as well.

Seeing the two smiling faces, Zhao Manyan's face darkened. It would be fine if he was embarrassed on weekdays, but today he had to show his power as the second young master of the Zhao family in front of Luo Chen and Mo Fan!

“Humph, although Zhao Youqian is in charge of this place, please make it clear that I do have some control.

I'm going to be here today! If you have any questions, let Zhao Youqian come to me himself. What distinguished guest is more important than me!"

Zhao Manyan sat down directly on the sofa that looked like it was made of goose down, his face full of the pride and stubbornness of a second-generation rich kid.

The girl in the rippled blue dress couldn't help but be stunned. How could she have thought that Zhao Manyan would be so playful?

After a long period of persuasion, Zhao Manyan seemed to be determined and refused to move.

The woman in the blue ripple dress finally felt helpless and could only quietly clean up the reception room on the other side...

"Brother Chen, what do you think? I said that I, Old Zhao, still have some face here. How about I take you for a walk?"

Zhao Manyan smiled, cleverly resolving the awkwardness just now, and said.

"Forget it, I'll just go and see for myself."

Luo Chen waved his hand and started walking around the auction house.

Luo Chen walked around the auction hall. It was magnificent and splendor filled with treasures on display in a long corridor. Each item was priceless.

Among this group of treasures, there is a stone that is very conspicuous. It is located in the C position of this exhibition.

At first glance, it looks like a black stone, but upon closer inspection, the stardust-like embellishments on it appear to be magical.

"This is the guilty stone. About twenty years ago, a certain beautiful and powerful woman, in order to prove that she had indeed cast the guilty stone, deliberately displayed this judgment stone to show the world How unselfish she is."

A woman's beautiful and pleasant voice came slowly from behind. Luo Chen knew who it was without turning around.

Astraea, her purpose here is to take away this guilty stone.

Luo Chen turned his head and saw that the familiar veil was still covering her fairy-like face.

Her graceful figure alone is enough to attract attention, and her beautiful eyes with a hint of charm are even more heart-beating.

"Long time no see, Ye Meng'e, or Asharuya!"

Luo Chen looked at this incredibly beautiful woman and said with familiarity.

"Long time no see. It seems you recognized me, Lord Luo Chen..."

Asharuya smiled charmingly, and spoke in deliberately drawn-out syllables as if to amuse Luo Chen.

"You came to see me, I think you have something to do, now you can tell me..."

Luo Chen glanced at the people coming and going around him and didn't buy into Asharuya's tricks at all.

Having read the original novel, he knew Asharuya's character very well. In front of Asharuya, Jiang Shaoxu could only be called a little fox...

"Oh? How do you know that I have something to ask of you?"

Asharuya was very surprised. She hadn't said anything yet. When did she become so easily seen through?

"Haha, you would do something that has no benefit? You just walked away when we were in the ancient capital. If there is no benefit, would you really come to see me?"

Luo Chen said without any concealment.

"Change somewhere."

Asharuya smiled sweetly under the veil, showed a touching smile to Luo Chen, walked to Luo Chen and spoke softly.

Her every frown and smile was full of infinite temptation. If it weren't for the veil covering her, she would probably have attracted a group of onlookers.
