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

Jordan witnessed Todd’s miraculous recovery from his seat in the second row. Todd’s sickly limbs recovered instantly and became normal again, no longer the frail, dark sticks they seemed to be previously.Naturally, Jordan was beyond shocked. He whispered to Jarvis beside him, “Master Yant, you’re very knowledgeable. Have you ever heard of such a pill in this world?”Jarvis shook his head with a dazed look. He himself was just as shocked, if not more.As a martial artist, his understanding of the world’s unknown was deeper than an average person. Even so, he had never witnessed such a miraculous medicine.Filled with emotions, he murmured, “Lord Fox, to be frank, I’ve never seen such a magical medicine before… Such power that can rejuvenate one’s health is far beyond my knowledge.”Jordan chuckled before saying in a solemn tone, “To be honest, this scene reminded me of when Kathleen was a child. Back then, I accompanied her to watch the 1986 edition of the Journey to the West. The

Todd’s eyes flowed with thankful tears as he voiced his gratitude over and over. “Yes! I can finally get back on my feet again, all thanks to the Rejuvenating Pill!”Jasmine replied with a small smile, “Alright. Number 27, please return to your seat now. Our auction will continue.”Todd nodded in a hurry before quickly wiping his tears. Then, he scurried down the stage in excitement.Everyone watched as Todd walked back to his seat at a relaxed pace. It was an unbelievable sight.The man’s body was paralyzed starting from the neck. With the exception of his mouth and eyes, he couldn’t move and needed someone to carry him up the stage. But in just a blink of an eye, he could walk on his legs again and exit off the stage by himself without any help whatsoever. The huge contrast between the before and after gave a strong impact to the astonished audienceMore and more regretted not doing their best to win the second Rejuvenating Pill.On the stage, Jasmine smiled and said, “The R

Chandler and Jeremiah placing a bid at the same time incited the crowd’s interest in the amulets.Jeremiah didn’t expect Chandler to be interested in the amulet as well. Smiling, he made a gesture of invitation and said politely, “Old Master Lennard, you may bid for the first amulet. I won’t compete with you.”Chandler thanked him with a smile. “Sir Wade, thanks for giving me the chance to go first. In that case, I’ll take this one first. I won’t compete with you for the next amulet.”Jeremiah laughed and nodded in agreement. “Great, great! Mr. Lennard, do go ahead.”Chandler raised his hand at once and made a bid. “I offer twenty million.”Jasmine quickly added, “Mr. Lennard, you just need to offer one million US dollars higher than the previous bidding price. There’s no need for you to bid at such a high price.”Chandler waved his hand, “It's fine, it’s fine.”Jasmine couldn’t do anything but nod in reply. She announced solemnly, “Our VIP, Mr. Lennard, has placed a bid of twen

Charlie frowned in thought for a while, before saying, "Well, there is a plan, but I can't vouch for the chances. I also need you to cooperate with me and not let anything slip, or everything will go to waste. Can you do that?""I can!" Claire nodded, determined, before quickly asking, "So? What's the plan?""Well, it's not specific," Charlie replied. "We just have to improvise as we go along. Let's just head in for now!"-They left the airport and took a cab to the traffic police's headquarters. Just as she entered, they saw their Cullinan parked outside.Charlie sent Claire in first while he carried her luggage before following.Meanwhile, Elaine was wailing in her room, "I've been married to him for years! Suffering so much pain and humiliation, only for him to hook up with an old flame behind my back! Is it wrong if I struck out?"The traffic police officer was on the verge of a breakdown, but he still said patiently, "Ma'am, I've told you many times—what he did was wrong

Claire wasn't all that experienced in love and hence didn't know how a person caught in a love triangle would think or why they would experience such terrible mood swings.Still, Charlie's explanation gave her a general idea, and she sighed, "Actually, Dad looked really bad when Matilda came back. He was so obsessed with her that he didn't care if Mom was alive—even bringing her home for dinner. I'd be seething if I was Mom."Charlie sighed in exasperation. "Well, let's not loiter about. Let's go to the traffic police station.""Yeah!" Claire nodded, before holding his arm, "If they're there, that means they're safe, and they won't be fighting with those officers around. So, let's not head over so quickly."Charlie raised a brow. "What are you getting at?"Claire sighed, clearly troubled. "We have to think—how are we going to alleviate this crisis? If it's really as you say and Mom has mostly guessed it right, this fight might just be the start. At best, that fight on the highway

The traffic police officer smiled in exasperation. "Is there no getting through to you? You could even afford to drive a nice car, and you'd most likely survive an accident. But what if you were left bedridden for a long time? Yell at each other in the same hospital room?"Elaine waved him off. "I don't care—all I know is that I will always get my revenge, and on the spot if possible. If there were superheroes, I would be Wonder Woman!""Urgh…" The traffic police officer was utterly speechless. "How about this? We will call your daughter and have her come over to bail you. She will mediate your fight!"With those words, he returned Elaine's phone to her, and it happened to ring just then.It was a call from Claire.Seeing that the contact name said [Daughter], the traffic police officer quickly said, "Go on, answer it!"Elaine took it and answered the call, and Claire asked urgently before she could say a word, "Mom? Where are you? Where's Dad? Are you both alright?"Elaine sulk

While Charlie was waiting for Claire at the airport, Jacob and Elaine were taken to the traffic police station.But even in the patrol car, Elaine did not stop lashing out at Jacob.As such, the traffic police had no choice but to call up another patrol car to bring them over separately.Charlie was hence left wondering what those two were up to this time as they were nowhere to be seen when Claire's flight was about to land and weren't answering his texts.Fortunately, Charlie never considered them reliable, so he was fine whether they showed up or not.If they did, they could all head home in the same car.If they didn't, he just had to take a cab home with Claire.It was past three when Claire's private jet landed, and Claire herself cleared the checkpoint in just half an hour, wheeling a trolley with her luggage.Seeing Charlie from afar, she couldn't help quickening her pace as she beamed.Charlie hurried toward her as well, and Claire shoved her trolley aside when they w

However, to Jacob's shock, Elaine wasn't misled at all as she growled icily, "Why would I ask anyone else?! If there's someone I must question, it's Matilda! She's getting married, isn't she? Good! I will be there and ask her why she hooked up with my husband!"Jacob turned pale right then.Matilda's son and even some of their old classmates would be attending her wedding.If Elaine went, he would be exposed, and he wouldn't be able to stay in Aurous Hill out of shame!His nerves gnawing at him, Jacob could only plead, "Please, just trust me this once! Anything else aside, she's getting married, anyway—there's no way that I'd have anything to do with her! That alone should prove my innocence!"Elaine snorted. "If Matilda returned when I was arrested, it means she has been back for a while! And you're saying nothing happened since? Hell, even if she's married, it doesn't prove that she wasn't up to some hanky-panky with you! Maybe while I was arrested and refused a divorce when you

The driver was left dumbstruck—this wasn't how it was supposed to go.Still, he blurted, "C-Crashing into a Cullinan? I might end up dead instead…""Fine! Then let's change cars, and you crash into ours—how about that?!" Elaine promptly retorted before continuing, "Or we could just stand right in front of your car while you run into us! I just happen to have a death wish, but if you don't kill me now, I'll kill you! Don't think about getting away either—I know your car plate! I'll sell this car and use the money to put a bounty on your head! I don't care what happens to me now! I'll claw my nails into the devil's face even if he shows up!"The driver was actually quite experienced, but even he had yet to meet someone as ridiculous as Elaine.Barely able to keep his hands steady, he threw them up as he apologized, "I'm so sorry, ma'am—I just lost my cool. I'm merely a humble driver of a Honda Civic while you own a Rolls. Hell, I spent fifty bucks buying that red emblem from Amazon,

Elaine may have led a life as if she was above the rules, but beneath that tough exterior lay crippling insecurities and a horrific inferiority complex.She was always afraid of being belittled—but more than that, of being ostracized and betrayed.Over the years, the greatest source of her complexes could all be traced back to Matilda.After all, Matilda had been a star back in their school days. Because Elaine was a close friend of hers, many boys would get chummy with Elaine, but only because they were interested in Matilda.Being from a poor farmer's family, Elaine had been scorned plenty and therefore felt exceedingly inferior around Matilda.It was from that sense of inferiority that Elaine had inadvertently developed a one-sided rivalry against Matilda, and she believed her greatest triumph over Matilda in this life was the moment she had stolen Jacob from her.However, while Elaine presumed that she could hold that victory over Matilda's head, Lady Wilson had soured that v

Moreover, given Elaine's ridiculous temper, Jacob knew she would definitely go overboard and destroy him.He wouldn't even have a place to live at that point, and it would really be game over if she held a grudge and stormed the Calligraphy and Painting Association!Under such circumstances, he couldn't ask for a divorce—hell, he might even refuse a divorce if Elaine asked for one!However, that was when Elaine laughed coldly. "Oh, my… You're really not going to divorce me?""Come on—how long were we married?" Jacob quickly reasoned. "Getting divorced at our age? People would laugh at us."Elaine scoffed. "Now I'm curious… Matilda's quite old too, and she's a divorcee marrying again. Won't people laugh at her?""Technically, she's a widow—"Jacob blurted out, but soon turned pale, tensing up again not a second after he had just calmed down, asking gingerly, "W-Why would you suddenly mention her?'Elaine stopped pretending right then and snapped, "It's actually impressive that y

Horrified, Jacob promptly grasped the steering wheel and brought the Cullinan back under control while not hesitating to snap, "Are you crazy?! We're on the highway—that could have killed the both of us!"However, Elaine ignored him and seized the moment to open the armrest box, pulling out the large white envelope.As she opened it, she muttered, "So, it really was a wedding invitation… You really are a terrible friend, Jacob Wilson, hiding a wedding invitation like this! What's the point? Just look at that nervous face of yours—would I suspect you of having an affair with the bride-to-be?"She flipped open the card and was experienced enough to check the names first while disregarding the usual preamble. She wouldn't care about the venue or the time either, focusing solely on the professor who had somehow made Jacob very nervous.That was how Elaine found the names in less than a second: Yolden Hart and Matilda Hall.Matilda?!The name could well be knives stabbing Elaine in th
