Chapter 129 Hermes, the God of Thieves!
"This is insane! Absolutely insane! These few worthless statues of Chinese deities actually fetched a staggering 16 billion yuan at auction! Is there anything more outrageous than this?"
"Damn it! Whose young master is this? He doesn't value money at all!"
"That's right! This 16 billion is half a year's revenue for my family!"
"Do you guys think these statues of gods might hold some unknown secret? Otherwise, why would that person pay such a high price to buy them?"
"Yes, that's exactly what I suspect!"
"What secret? I think that person is just a collector! There's a statue of a god on it; I'd want to collect it myself!"
The people at the auction were buzzing with discussion.
The statue of Nezha, the Great God of the Three Altars and Seas, was completely overshadowed by the statue of the Emperor God.
It should be noted that the statue of Nezha, the Great God of the Three Seas, looks quite imposing and handsome, and is a Chinese deity statue worth collecting.
After winning the auction for those statues of Chinese deities, Su Fan left the private room immediately, just like last time.
Meanwhile, Larry Pitt also left the private box and headed to the ambush site outside the auction.
Su Fan arrived at the back of the auction hall, where he was once again received by Watson Stir.
When Su Fan met Watson, Watson's face was practically swollen from smiling.
The uncontrollable smile on his face really shows how wealthy he is!
They really are willing to spend money!
Su Fan was equally delighted. He had bought two top-tier Chinese deities with just over a billion dollars. Could there be anything more profitable than that?
Of course, these Chinese deities originally belonged to China!
Greece will have to return this money later, but for now, it's still very worthwhile to spend this amount of money to buy it.
Su Fan took the spatial ring from Larry Pete, checked it, and after confirming there were no problems, nodded to Larry Pete.
Su Fan then asked curiously, "Mr. Watson, are there any more statues of Chinese deities to be auctioned at the next auction?"
This time, things didn't go as Su Fan wished, and Larry Pete shook his head.
"No, that's all for now. I'll contact you if I find any more."
"By the way, could you please provide your contact information?"
Su Fan was rather disappointed. He shook his head and said, "There's no need for contact information. I probably won't be coming out for a long time."
Hearing Su Fan's refusal, Larry Pete felt a little disappointed; what a waste of such a wealthy and powerful man.
However, Su Fan's words convinced him that Su Fan was just a young master from some hidden aristocratic family who had come out for a stroll and had become interested in the statues of Chinese gods, so he had paid a high price to auction them off.
Larry Pete shook his head. He didn't see what was so interesting about these Chinese deity statues. It would be much better to collect some Greek deity statues.
Moreover, the Greek gods were the most powerful gods in the world.
The Chinese deities are much weaker, and there's a gap in their lineage.
Even so, the Sakura Kingdom was still destroyed; it was truly weak.
Let's see if China dares to attack Greece.
Larry Pitt's mind was racing, but he maintained a professional smile.
"Then we look forward to your next visit, Mr. Mordecais."
Su Fan nodded, then took the spatial ring, followed by Yuan Qingsheng, and left the auction.
This time, a chilling wind blew as we left the auction, carrying an eerie atmosphere.
Whew~ Whew~~
A cool breeze swept by, and Su Fan felt a chill run through his heart.
Beside him, Yuan Qingsheng's expression was serious and solemn.
"Young friend Su, the road ahead might be a bit treacherous!"
Upon hearing this, Su Fan secretly used his Fiery Eyes of Truth.
Just then, a strange cold wind swept in.
Su Fan's heart skipped a beat. He turned to look, but under the watchful eyes of the eagle, he was exposed.
Su Fan's pupils suddenly contracted.
He saw a person wearing winged sandals, carrying a short staff with coiled snakes and a tattered money bag, dressed in a long robe and cloak.
He was lurking in the eerie wind, his short, coiled staff attacking Yuan Qingsheng.
Su Fan recognized the god that the Greek god-keeper had contracted almost instantly.
Hermes, the god of thieves!
This is one of the twelve Olympian gods in Greek mythology.
He was the son of Zeus, king of the gods, and Maia, the forest nymph, and was born in a cave on Mount Cyrenee in Arcadia.
According to Greek legend, Hermes showed the potential of a god of thievery from birth. He stole cattle from Apollo, the sun god, and used his divine power as a god of thievery to cover up his tracks.
In addition, He also used a trick to lure the hundred-eyed giant Argos into closing all his eyes, and then killed him, successfully saving Io who was being guarded by Argos.
It can be said that Hermes was a very cunning, scheming, and natural-born god of theft.
Sure enough, even Yuan Qingsheng, a top-tier eighth-level Divine Master, could only sense that something was wrong, but couldn't detect him.
If Su Fan hadn't had such keen eyesight, he might not have been able to spot him.
Su Fan shouted urgently to Yuan Qingsheng, "Elder Yuan, get out of the way! Someone's attacking you from your side!"
Upon hearing this, Yuan Qingsheng moved quickly, and the Gonggong Halberd appeared in his hand, with a layer of water film on its side.
Ozarkber's serpent staff struck the water film, but it failed to penetrate it.
Ozarkber's figure appeared in front of Yuan Qingsheng, less than ten feet away. Ozarkber let out a sigh of regret.
Yuan Qingsheng was thinking of seizing this opportunity to kill O'Sullivan.
But Ozark quickly concealed himself in the eerie wind, and Yuan Qingsheng, lacking any supernatural abilities like the ability to see through fire, couldn't detect him at all.
Yuan Qingsheng could only hold the Gonggong Halberd, looking around warily, and protect Su Fan behind him.
Su Fan said with a solemn expression, "Elder Yuan, I can see the figure of that Divine Master. Do as I say!"
Su Fan unleashed his piercing eyes, following O'Sullivan's figure intently, not daring to blink for a moment.
Yuan Qingsheng nodded emphatically: "Okay!"
O'Sackber found a weakness in Yuan Qingsheng's defenses and launched an attack.
Su Fan hurriedly shouted, "Left!"
Now, Yuan Qingsheng, who was already prepared, naturally wouldn't let this opportunity slip by.
As soon as Gonggong pointed his halberd at that spot, a water dragon coiled around it and flew towards that place.
O'Sackber was dumbfounded.
What's going on?!
How could these people possibly see me?!
It's worth noting that Hermes, the god of thieves, is arguably the most adept at hiding among the gods in Greek mythology.
Each time he launched a sneak attack in the cold wind, no one could detect him.
However, this time he clearly underestimated Su Fan and the others.
In his wide-open eyes, the water dragon struck him hard in the chest.
Ozarkber's figure instantly fell out of the cold wind.
Hermes, the god of thieves, is relatively strong in stealth and ambush, but his offensive power is rather weak.
