The auction for the first Rejuvenating Pill ended on a perfect none. After that, Jasmine began to introduce the second auction item for the night.The auction’s agenda was set at a pace to stimulate the guests’ desires. They would start the auction with the Rejuvenating Pill to stir the crowd. Then, they would auction a few selected antique pieces by the Vintage Deluxe to feed the audience’s anticipation. Once everyone’s impatience had reached the limit, they would start the auction for the second Rejuvenating Pill. After that, the same cycle would repeat.The auction revealed the second auction item, a kiln blue-and-white plate from ancient times.At the same time outside the auction hall, the soldier took Travis to a lounge backstage. As per Charlie’s request, any bidder whose right to bid was revoked mustn’t leave immediately. They could only leave after the auction officially ended.Charlie watched Travis’s reaction while observing in the control room. He couldn’t help but sigh

Travis agreed, “You’re right, Master Wade…”He looked at Charlie and choked a little. He was hesitant, but in the end, he decided to ask. “Master Wade, I beg you to give me one more chance. It’s my fault for losing my right to continue bidding in the auction this year, but please don’t revoke my right in future auctions!”Charlie said sternly, “Mr. Lane, I’ve set up such a big event to attract the best players in the world. I’ll have to ensure the game’s fairness. If I can’t ensure fairness, how can the event continue?”“But I…” Travis wanted to explain himself, but Charlie interrupted him with a show of hand.“Mr. Lane, we’re adults. You’ve violated the rule, so you have to bear the consequences.”Travis was reluctant, but he knew he had no right to bargain with Charlie.Not to mention, Charlie’s current status and strength would rise greatly after this auction. He would easily earn up to hundreds of billions of US dollars from this auction alone. With how much Charlie’s prowess

Travis’s turbulent emotions finally calmed after Charlie’s suggestion.Charlie added, “Well then, Mr. Lane. You may rest here first and leave when the auction ends. Pay attention to what I’ve said before. I’ll inform Doris Young from Emgrand Group as well. She’ll contact you if there are any future updates.”Travis was incredibly grateful to Charlie. With a face full of tears, he bowed and said, “Master Wade, thank you! I won’t forget your kindness!”He then added, “I’ll rush back to Lancaster tonight and gather all my men for a meeting. We’ll discuss how to move all our businesses to Aurous Hill as soon as possible. If you need my help, Mr. Wade, please order me as needed. I’ll do my best to help!”Charlie nodded with a smile. “Sure. You should stay here and compose yourself. I’ll go first.”Travis replied hurriedly, “Understood. I’ll reflect on my actions and recompose myself!”Charlie replied with a pleased hum before leaving the lounge.Travis slumped on the ground after Cha

The price went up within seconds, and kept rising until it reached the highest bid of five billion US dollars. Despite that, people kept bidding.“Five billion and ten million!”“Why are you increasing the bid by tens of millions? I offer five and a half billion!”“I offer five point eight billion! Five point eight!”The Middle East billionaire looked around, completely stunned. He thought he had been bold enough to start his bid at two billion. Unexpectedly, he was just helping to drive the hype. Everyone must have gone insane. Five point eight billion US dollars? How many people could afford that?As he thought of that, he regretted missing the first pill. He sank in despair, regretting his foolishness. He clenched his teeth and decided to bite the bullet. He raised his voice again and shouted, “Six billion! I offer six…”Before he could finish his sentence, the man who offered five point eight billion shouted again, “Six point eight billion! Six point eight!”The Middle E

Todd called his bid at seven billion, but even that didn’t scare his competitors away.Soon, another wealthy tycoon raised his hand and called his bid, “Seven point two billion!”The Oskian tycoon who placed a bid of five point eight billion and six point eight billion before paled.He made his bid generously, but he didn’t have unlimited funds.At most, he could only afford at most around eight billion or so. He cheerily raised the bid because he wanted to scare away his competitors before they raised the price to his upper limit.His strategy would have worked in the bidding for a commonly auctioned item. However, they weren’t bidding for any ordinary item. They were bidding for their life!Those who were terminally ill saw this as a good chance for a full recovery. Winning a quarter pill was more than enough to extend their lifespan by at least ten years. Many of them were in their fifties and sixties. After they were diagnosed with their terminal illness, they could only li

The first auction for a quarter pill of Rejuvenating Pill caused a huge stir in the ballroom. Everyone scrambled around, losing their minds as they kept bidding.At this stage, only the strongest was likely to win the quarter pill. The only exceptions were those who intended to compete for the last full Rejuvenating Pill.In that case, it was better to let the stronger ones win the second quarter pill. Without him, the next two quarter pills behind would most likely drop in price. Or so what many thought.Thus, many who could afford to continue bidding eventually gave up. They assumed they were the smartest, but they couldn’t be more wrong. Many in the hall shared similar thoughts.As a result, when Todd raised the price to ten billion US dollars, his last competitor gave up and stopped bidding.His last competitor thought he would be the strongest bidder once Todd was out of the competition. After all, when he began bidding at nine billion earlier, others could no longer follow u

Paraplegia was medically irreversible. However, treating paraplegia with a rejuvenating pill was simply overkill.Jacob had gone through the same accident as well, and his injury was almost identical to Todd’s. Yet, Charlie had only used half a pill to heal Jacob.A healing pill was ranked much lower than a Rejuvenating Pill. Therefore, half a Rejuvenating Pill was simply more than enough to treat Todd’s paraplegia.With the help of his subordinate beside him, Todd called his finance auditor. He hurriedly ordered them to transfer ten billion US dollars straight to the auction house’s designated account, his impatience evident all the way.Jasmine confirmed the receipt of payment and announced, “I’ve just received a confirmation of receipt from my finance. Please welcome Number 27 on stage to take the second Rejuvenating Pill for the night!”Todd couldn’t wait any longer. He gestured to his subordinate with his gaze, and the latter picked him up from his seat at once.Todd was di

Todd had only taken a quarter of the Rejuvenating Pill for a few seconds. Already, he could regain his senses and feel the warmth of his body. This was proof that the pill was effective and could cure his paraplegia.Todd’s joy did not last for long, however. Immediately after, waves of intense pain spread throughout his body.Todd’s screams of joy turned into howls of pain, the sound such that many jumped in fright. His whole body was in great pain, but it couldn’t be compared to the pain attacking his limbs.As he had suffered from muscle atrophy for too long, it had led to this excruciating pain. But as muscle atrophy stemmed from paralysis, the paralyzed patient wouldn’t be able to sense any pain, and that included the pain from muscle atrophy.The Rejuvenating Pill had healed Todd starting from his nervous system. Now that he was able to feel again, the severe pain transmitted by his nervous system to his brain was hurting him greatly. It was so painful, he felt like dying.H

No one except Raymond expected that the terms would be agreed upon so quickly.He was utterly confident in his judgment and even more so in his value appraisal.He was convinced that once they had a good look, any one of these collectors who could afford twenty million wouldn't miss this bargain.After all, an opportunity to secure an item worth millions more than the price they paid was very rare.In fact, when the other nine collectors heard that the first collector was buying it, it was only to be expected even if it left them all gloomy. They had all held the bronze sculpture in their hands—they knew it was definitely worth that much.However, no one in the room was more shocked than Trippy.He looked utterly flabbergasted, his eyes wide and bulging as he stared at the bronze sculpture while asking himself the same question repeatedly.Was that crap really worth twenty million? How?!While Trippy was still stunned, Raymond had already sent his payment details to the first

Unable to nitpick on the air stewardess' response, Elaine pouted, "Well, try to ask management to improve on your first-class cabins anyway. Maybe even make a premium-class or something since it's not like we can't afford it."The air stewardess quickly said, "We will definitely relay your message to the management."Nodding in satisfaction, Elaine waved her off. "Alright. You can go back to work now."Clearly relieved, the air stewardess bowed her head respectfully. "Always happy to be of service."After the air stewardess left, Jacob asked Elaine in curiosity, "Was the private jet that good?"Elaine rolled her eyes. "Didn't you see the stuff I posted in the chat group?""Not really," Jacob blurted. Elaine was ready to snap at him for not caring, but considering that they had made up now and she shouldn't fuss too much over the little things, she snorted, "Just remember to like and comment on all my posts in the chat group, otherwise, I will make you regret it!""No problem!"

While the ten collectors were taking turns studying the bronze sculpture, Jacob and Elaine were boarding their flight.As they were flying first-class, they had priority over the other passengers and boarded from the separate plug door at the first-class section.The capacity of the Boeing 777 was huge, and the wide-body aircraft could be connected to a special double corridor bridge where first class and business class passengers boarded separately from the economy class passengers.As the terminals to economy class and business class were connected, Elaine and Jacob were able to get through the first-class terminal unimpeded, but the passengers in economy class had a queue of over two hundred passengers. Even as she walked, Elaine was looking over her shoulder and exclaiming at Jacob, "Must be nice being rich! We used to have to queue like the rest of them, waiting for over thirty minutes just to board our flight." "In first class, we may be in the same plane, but we don't hav

Meanwhile, once Raymond had briefed everyone about the rules, he opened the door and invited everyone into Treasure Measure.It was not that wide but appeared spacious since the interior was mostly empty—it was not really crowded even with thirty-ish people.Then, locking the door from the inside, Raymond told them, "I can tell from everyone's faces that we are all veterans here, so I'm sure you understand the rules while appraising: no photos or videos, thank you very much."Indeed, there were many rules that governed the hobby, the most important being respecting the seller's requests and privacy.As the collectors listened, they knew that Raymond was selling but did not want the public to know too much about him.They all nodded, and those who had their phones out slid them back into their pockets.With that, Raymond took out the bronze sculpture that he had brought, leaving Trippy a little surprised.He had never seen the bronze sculpture with his own eyes before, only from

"Alright!" Trippy was at once fawning, tagging along behind Raymond like a little child.Around thirty people were waiting in front of Treasure Measure by now. The collectors came in twos or threes, and all ten numbers had since been taken.Before Raymond arrived, he had a brief look at the collectors' faces through the security cameras before walking over, and he was really relieved to see no familiar faces.Having traded Oskian antiques for years abroad, it was only natural that he was acquainted with some of the elite collectors in the country.He also knew that they were especially demanding with the quality of their collection and wanted almost flawless items. As such, the bronze sculpture which had been completely lost wouldn't interest them.Still, he was also a little concerned that amongst the elite collectors he knew, there might be some who were losing money and losing purchasing power in turn. If they happened to take an interest in the bronze sculpture on top of that,

Trippy grinned. "I mean, just look at my stall—ain't no way I'm getting any business here. Why not let me check out this item of yours? And see how interested they are? I'm really interested in learning and upping my game."Then, as if worried that Raymond would refuse, he quickly added, "Don't worry—I promise to stay in a corner and just watch."Still, Raymond could guess right then that someone must have sent Trippy to spy on him.It didn't matter whether it was Mick, Jacob, or Zachary either—they were all in this plot together, and one knowing meant all three knowing.Trippy was a gossiper in nature. If he was allowed to witness the whole process, everyone down Antique Street would definitely know before long.In fact, he could use someone like that right now, and Trippy had come straight to his doorstep.With that in mind, Raymond smiled, "Come join me if you're interested. It's not like there's anything to hide…"Pausing, he then warned Trippy, "But since you're going in my

After watching Mick's video, Jasmine's opinion of the man improved considerably.She was actually well aware that the decline of Vintage Deluxe was mostly due to Mick's incompetence.However, as Jasmine was now managing a billion-dollar company, she couldn't spare any time to ask many questions about Vintage Deluxe's performance. In her opinion, as long as Vintage Deluxe didn't lose too much money or ruin the reputation they had worked so hard to build, she wasn't interested in a regime change.It was the same mindset as Marianne Long, who begged her father to keep that lane full of food stalls in Hong Kong over sentiment.As such, seeing that Mick actually had some skill pleased her considerably.She couldn't resist checking out the comments of the video too.She saw that many were praising the manager of Vintage Deluxe for taking a tough stand against the scammer as well as how Vintage Deluxe's reputation was long-standing and without comparison.She soon noticed Jacob's comme

Soon, more collectors had gathered outside Treasure Measure even before Raymond showed up at Antique Street, with over ten of them gathered outside in no time at all.Since Raymond had only prepared ten slips, the rest left in disappointment seeing that they had no chance.Even so, the ten collectors who had gotten a number were nervous—save for the first man who had arrived.The details on the online sales post insisted that the price was fixed, and that first-come first-serve applies.If he bought the bronze sculpture, the other nine would have come all this way for nothing.However, if the seller decided to make it an auction, they would have a chance too, although their net profit would thin in turn. After all, they could have acquired the bronze sculpture for just 20 million, and that meant a solid 8 million in profit.An auction would at least raise the price to 27 million, and more would make it chicken feed.If they gave up at that point, it was a waste of a trip.If

Trippy naturally wasn't going to tell Mick everything word-for-word, so he said vaguely, "Uh, they were just being stubborn and refused to listen to anything I said. They kept saying that they wouldn't know until they saw the actual item."Mick got out of bed, staring at his phone as he mused to himself.This was getting a little ridiculous, was it not? A fool who was scammed, actually able to scam someone else? But if he really could sell it, wouldn't all their work be for nothing?With that in mind, he promptly called Zachary, who wasn't even up yet.Ever since he had started working for Don Albert, his daily routine was no longer the same as the days when he was a humble stall owner working on Antique Street, but a man of importance who slept late and woke up late.In the evening, he would be spending his time patrolling Don Albert's night entertainment properties as well as holding meetings with subordinates to decide on management policies and the like. That was why he wo
