There was still some time left before the auction startedHowever, the master of the lodge, who had not revealed their face before the public, had prepared wine and food to entertain their guests.Kayson had eaten quite a lot of food. Due to the commotion caused by Zephyr, many people were looking at Zachary from time to time.Yorrick had already left. He had come here to invite Zachary to become the medical consultant for his company. Since Zachary rejected his invitation, he had no reason to stay any longer.“Grandpa, try this cake! It’s tasty!” “It’s okay. It’s too sweet for me. You can have it all to yourself.”“Cake needs to be sweet and creamy. If not, it won’t be tasty!” Lindsy said happily as she enjoyed the food here.Kayson was having a good time as well.At that moment, two figures showed up.“Zachary Ewell!” Someone shouted, and his voice sounded familiar.It was Heirein.Zachary frowned slightly. He did not expect Heirein to be so persistent. Even though he d
“That’s not necessary! I can cure him!” shouted Tanner.He would rather die than give Zachary a chance to show that he was better than him!After that, he changed to another treatment method.This time, it showed some effect, and Heirein was no longer itchy.However, it lasted only about 10 seconds, and Heirein began to squirm and twitch violently on the floor again.“Mr. Smith, it’s coming back! It’s coming back again!” Tanner’s expression changed, and he mumbled, “This… This can’t be…”Heirein’s arms were filled with scratches, and blood was oozing out of them. He looked miserable, and the crowd looked at him in fear.Kayson looked at him indifferently and stood as stiff as a ramrod.Lindsy, who was standing next to him, asked, “Kayson, will he be okay?”“Don’t worry,” Kayson said calmly.He knew what he was doing and was not stupid enough to kill Heirein here.“He’s so scary,” commented Lindsy.There was a mixed expression on her face. Since her college days, she had b
No one paid attention to Tanner’s unwarranted shouting. Even if it were part of Kayson and Zachary’s plan, it proved that Tanner was no better than them.Moreover, anyone could tell that Tanner was only making such remarks because he was afraid his reputation would be ruined.“Zachary…”Tanner’s expression was very unpleasant, and he was gnashing his teeth in resentment because he was badly humiliated today!“Just wait and see!”Tanner did not want to endure the mocking glance cast by the others like he was a clown anymore.Hence, he turned around and left in quick strides.Kayson took a glance at Heirein and casually said, “Not leaving with him yet, Mr. Rockwood?”Heirein’s expression changed, and he said anxiously, “I’m not going to feel itchy again, right?”“If you aren’t up to your little tricks, I think you won’t suffer from another attack anymore.”Heirein’s expression was rather unpleasant, and he took a recalcitrant glance at Lindsy soon afterward.Lindsy did not f
”The name of the flower is Augblood Bloom, which is said to be effective in rejuvenating one’s blood. It’s effective in making an older person younger by seven to eight years upon consumption.“The starting bid is $300,000.”As soon as Eira’s voice faded, a middle-aged man who looked a little over 50 years old raised his bidding paddle.“$380,000!”“410,000!” Someone bided.Zachary asked softly, “Are you interested in getting that?”“No.” Kayson shook his head. “I have quite a number of prescriptions that can produce similar effects.”“Ah?” Zachary was astonished. Soon afterward, he said smilingly, “You must give me a prescription later so I can treat myself. I get tired so easily recently.”Kayson chuckled and said, “I’ll write you the prescription later, and you can prepare one for your own consumption.”“I shall accept your kind offer then!”Soon, a business owner won the Augblood Bloom with his highest bid of over $640,000.Afterward, two more tonics were auctioned, but
A middle-aged man with thick brows and large eyes was seated in Room 5, located on the second floor. “Who’s this young man downstairs?”“I’m not really sure. However, he’s sitting next to Zachary, and he seems very close with Zachary’s granddaughter. It’s possible that he’s the boyfriend of Zachary’s granddaughter,” reported the subordinate standing next to him.“Send someone to inform Zachary to yield the item out of respect to me, Howard Rosweld. The Bocca Fruit is of utmost importance to me.”The subordinate turned around in preparation to dispatch the order.Howard called out to him and said, “If he doesn’t give up, tell him that Sir Osborn wants it.”“Yes, sir.”…A steward-looking man made his way to Kayson.Zachary’s expression turned solemn upon hearing the message. Soon afterward, he said, “Please help me reply to Mr. Roswell that we need the Bocca Fruit to save a patient’s life, so we can’t yield.”Upon hearing, the steward said in all seriousness, “Mr. Ewell, Sir Os
The young man with long bangs spoke respectfully. …At last, Kayson acquired the Bocca Fruit for the price of $14,000,000.His heart ached for the money he had spent because the old man had told him the fruit would only cost $30!He had spent $30 previously to purchase Bocca Fruit from the old man. Could it be that the old man had given him a fake fruit?The female auctioneer, Eira, took a glance at Kayson and noticed Kayson’s painful expression. She could not help feeling amused by Kayson.‘I wonder if this person really has the money to pay for it.’She did not comment further while the staff member wheeled in the final auction item.Eira said, “This is the final item of the day. It’s a chunk of dead wood, but the description of dead wood is not too accurate either.“However, our owner commissioned quite a number to verify this item, yet it’s not identified as anything. Still, it is known to be rather precious.”Zachary glanced and shook his head while saying, “I can’t t
‘He has given up?’Let alone Howard, the guests seated in the common seating area downstairs were rendered speechless.‘You were still behaving like you were determined to get it with no regard to the bidding just a moment ago.‘Then, you were scared the next moment!?’The crowd was displeased. After all, it was rather intriguing to watch someone spending money to purchase a piece of junk.Howard was no longer calm and composed as he was earlier. The glass in his hand was crushed instantly.“S*n of a b*tch! You tricked me!”Howard was completely out of control. Next to him, the young man with bangs said hastily, “Please calm down, Howard. We’re in the Roselle Lodge!”Howard calmed himself quickly, but his expression remained unpleasant and ferocious.“Get in touch with Master Garcia. I want the young lad to be cut up into pieces!”Howard was furious but had nowhere to vent his anger. ‘I spent more than $37,000,000 for a chunk of rotten wood!’Most importantly, he did not h
After the trio left the auction house, they walked outside and went back to their hotel.While they were heading toward the highway entrance, Eira came to a spacious courtyard in the Roselle Lodge.“Master, Howard Rosweld has gotten the Lightning Wood.”A frail but gentle voice sounded from the room. “What about the rest? Who are the people that tried to get the item?”“Howard Rosweld from Private Room No. 5.“Mr. Carl Phillius from Private Room No. 2.“Mr. Gerald Templar from Private Room No. 1.“And a young man that goes by the surname of Yarde in the common seat. He came here with Dr. Ewell.”After Eira finished speaking, the weak voice sounded again. “That’s all?”“Yes.”The woman in the room sighed, “Howard is but an old roughneck that hangs out in the gray area. He doesn’t know anything about the usage of the Lightning Wood. As for Elder Master Phillius and Elder Master Templar, I’m sure they need the Lightning Wood for their own use. What about this Mr. Yarde? Do you k
