The Billionaire's Last Obsession series 149 Summary In the presidential suite of the Seven Stars Hotel in Morovia, Richard Stint contemplates the mysterious success of a stone-betting prodigy linked to the Axen Group and a man named Jacob. Richard suspects that Jacob is not acting alone and orders his subordinate to investigate thoroughly, warning that failure is not an option. His intense desire to control this prodigy reflects his ambition to solidify his family's power. As the final day of the Morovia auction begins, Jacob, Lilian, and Ethan sit together near the front.

Lilian, having already secured several stones, chooses to observe rather than bid, while Nancy stays close to Ethan, trying to behave. The auction features partially opened stones, leading to fierce bidding and soaring prices. Jacob advises Lilian to avoid bidding publicly to prevent drawing unwanted attention. The highlight of the auction is the seventh stone, an imperial green marbleite, which sparks a heated bidding war primarily between Jacob and Richard. Their escalating bids captivate the audience until Jacob unexpectedly concedes, allowing Richard to win the stone for 510 million.

The auction concludes with Jacob bidding on two more stones, and the group promptly departs Morovia to avoid complications. After their departure, Richard receives a report revealing that among Jacob's party, a young girl who had opened several top-grade ivory stones is the only suspicious figure. She did not participate in the public auction, which puzzles Richard, who orders a deeper investigation into everyone in Jacob's group. The chapter ends with Richard's sinister smile as he plots his next move, underscoring the tense rivalry and intrigue surrounding the auction and its players.

Clad in the traditional garb of Radovia, the man's piercing eyes were fixed intently on a far-off point beyond the glass, as if searching for answers hidden in the distant horizon. Next to him, a sharply dressed man in a sleek black suit spoke with measured respect. "Mr. Richard, our sources have confirmed the details.

The bid was placed under the name of Axen Group, and Jacob was present when the stones were revealed." Richard repeated the name softly, almost to himself, "Jacob..." He slowly pivoted to face his companion. His strikingly handsome face, more delicate and captivating than that of many women, was framed by narrow, seductive eyes beneath single eyelids. Yet, despite his beauty, there was an unmistakable aura of menace that sent a chill through anyone who met his gaze. "A bunch of amateurs," he said coldly. "Axen Group has never enjoyed such a high success rate in previous years.

This means Jacob isn't the mastermind behind this-it has to be someone working alongside him." The man in black nodded immediately. "Understood. We'll begin the investigation right away. We'll identify the expert who's truly behind these stone bets." Richard's voice hardened, cutting through the room like ice. "This is your final chance. Find out exactly who accompanied Jacob to Morovia this time. No more mistakes can be tolerated." "Yes, Mr. Richard," came the prompt reply. "Go. And if you fail again, don't bother returning." The man in black bowed slightly and exited swiftly.

As the door clicked shut behind him, a flicker of cold, malevolent light flashed in Richard's eyes. This mysterious stone-betting prodigy who had appeared at the Morovia auction boasted an almost unbelievable success rate. If Richard could bring this person under his control, the entire Stint family's power would be absolute. The thought ignited a fierce fire in his gaze. The auction's final day had arrived-the public bidding round.

Unlike the blind bids from earlier, this stage involved rough stones that had been partially opened, allowing bidders a clearer glimpse of the treasures concealed within. Naturally, the prices soared much higher. Inside the grand auction hall, Jacob, Lilian, and Ethan sat together at a table near the front. Lilian had no intention of bidding today. Having already secured eight stones earlier, she was content to observe the proceedings quietly. Nancy remained glued to Ethan's side, seemingly trying to redeem herself. She kept her behavior in check, avoiding any provocations.

On the stage, the auctioneer had begun his opening remarks. Jacob leaned toward Lilian and whispered gently, "Try not to bid today. If there's something you really want, just tell me-I'll handle the bidding. People are already scrutinizing those eight top-grade ivory stones from yesterday. This is Morovia, after all. If anything goes wrong, it'll be difficult to manage." Lilian nodded in understanding. "Got it." The auctioneer's speech concluded, and the first lot was brought forward, concealed beneath a rich red cloth. The stage lights brightened dramatically.

A staff member in a flowing red dress gracefully pulled back the covering to reveal the stone. It stood about waist-high, featuring a carefully cut window that showcased a radiant red glow and remarkable translucency-an unmistakable sign of red marbleite. The room buzzed with excited whispers. Wearing a practiced smile, the auctioneer declared, "There's little need for me to elaborate on this one. I believe its quality is clear to all. Starting bid: fifty million." The bidding quickly escalated amid the growing noise.

Jacob glanced at the quiet girl beside him and asked softly, "Not interested?" Lilian stirred her coffee lazily, her eyes fixed on the stage. "The price is too steep. It's not worth it." Eventually, the first stone sold for two hundred million to a jewelry merchant. Lilian watched the stones being unveiled with casual interest. It was evident that Morovia had invested considerable effort in sourcing top-quality materials. The subsequent lots all fetched high prices. Ethan won one, but Jacob remained silent, clearly with his own reasons. Then came the seventh stone.

Its window radiated a vibrant green light. "Imperial green!" someone shouted from the crowd. The auctioneer's face lit up with enthusiasm. "Exactly. No need to explain further-imperial green marble. Starting bid: fifty million." "Sixty million!" a voice called out. "Seventy-five million!" The price climbed steadily. Soon, it reached one hundred million, causing several companies to bow out. Jacob raised his bidding paddle. "One hundred and twenty million." His move sparked fresh murmurs among the audience, all curious about the true value of the stone.

"One hundred and fifty million!" came a voice from the back. Lilian turned her gaze toward the speaker-a man with an incredibly handsome face and a cocky smirk playing at his lips. For some reason, it seemed he was bidding more to challenge his rivals than out of genuine interest. "Two hundred million," Jacob replied after a brief pause. "Two hundred and ten million," Richard answered smoothly. "Three hundred million." "Three hundred and ten million." "Four hundred million." "Four hundred and ten million." By now, no one else dared to bid.

With these two heavyweights locked in competition, the rest of the room settled back to watch the intense battle unfold. "Five hundred million," Jacob said calmly, as if stating a mere fact. "Five hundred and ten million." Richard's smirk deepened as he glanced over provocatively. Lilian's lips curled into a teasing smile. "Sometimes, you just have to let others win, Li-ge." Jacob blinked, instantly catching her meaning. He replied slowly, "Since this gentleman likes it so much, I'll let him have it." Richard hadn't anticipated Jacob's sudden withdrawal.

Raising his wine glass with a triumphant grin, he said, "Then I'll gladly accept." In the end, the imperial green stone was sold to Richard for five hundred and ten million. Several more stones were auctioned off afterward, all of respectable quality. Jacob finally placed bids on two of them. With that, the Morovia auction drew to an official close. To avoid any unnecessary complications, the group boarded their flight home that very night. Unbeknownst to them, just as their plane ascended, someone arrived at their hotel. Richard's eyes were sharp and cold. "They've left?

Have you identified who placed the blind bids?" The man in black replied with respect, "Jacob's party included eight people. The only suspicious individual is the young girl. Our agents discovered that on the first day, she opened four top-grade ivory stones in the outer area." "But she didn't attend the venue on the following two days. She only appeared during the bid reveal and refrained from bidding in the public auction." Richard narrowed his eyes thoughtfully.

He remembered the young girl beside Jacob that day-looking barely more than a teenager, hardly the image of a stone-betting prodigy. "Keep digging. I want a full report on every one of them," Richard ordered coldly. The man in black responded with solemnity, "Yes, sir." Then he swiftly exited. Richard drained the red wine in his glass in one long swallow and returned to the window. As he stared into the pitch-black night, a sinister smile crept across his face, making his already captivating features seem even more chilling.

Conclusion The chapter closes on a tense note, encapsulating the intricate dance of power, strategy, and hidden motives that define the world of the Morovia auction. Richard's cold determination to uncover the true mastermind behind the stone bids contrasts sharply with Jacob's calm and calculated restraint, highlighting the subtle battles waged not just with money but with intellect and will. Meanwhile, Lilian's quiet presence and measured decisions underscore the importance of patience and insight amidst the high-stakes chaos.

Meanwhile, the emotional undercurrents among Jacob, Lilian, and Ethan could face new challenges as the aftermath of the auction settles in.
