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

Jordan joined the bidding at the final moments. He raised his hand indifferently and said, “I offer two hundred million.”Two hundred million US dollars was essentially double the previous bid, rounded up to the nearest hundred million. Jordan’s bidding price intimidated many competitors in an instant.After all, the amulet was different from the Rejuvenating Pill. Everyone in the hall had witnessed the pill’s miracles, but no one knew anything about the amulet’s strength. The third amulet was sold for two hundred million US dollars, making it probably the most expensive amulet in the world.No one else was willing to offer a price higher than two hundred million for the amulet. With that, Jordan successfully won the bid for the third amulet.When it came to the fourth amulet, the interested bidders quickly raised the price to one hundred and fifty million US dollars. At this stage, many found the amulet unworthy of such a price and gradually stopped bidding.Suddenly, someone i

At the same time, Jasmine announced grandly, “The next item coming up for auction will be the third quarter pill of the Rejuvenating Pill! There’s not much chance to win the bidding for the Rejuvenating Pill anymore. Everyone, please seize the opportunity. Don’t leave with any regret!”Jasmine’s words lifted everyone’s spirit once more.When Todd took the second Rejuvenating Pill, he showed the crowd the miracles one can gain from consuming the Rejuvenating Pill.Many had witnessed the endless possibilities. The crowd began rubbing their palms in anticipation, all of them deciding to fight for the third Rejuvenating Pill at all costs.Once again, the staff presented a Rejuvenating Pill on a silver plate on stage. Jasmine explained with a smile, “The starting price for the third quarter pill remains unchanged. The bid for the Rejuvenating Pill will start at one hundred million US dollars. Each new bid needs to be one hundred million higher than the previous one. It seems like eve

The man who thought he could easily win the third quarter pill with nine billion US dollars cried bitterly when he was forced to give up bidding. He had money, but he couldn’t afford the newest price. It was beyond his ability to pay.At last, the third quarter pill was won by a Jewish businessman at eighteen billion and five hundred million US dollars. The Jewish businessman has been suffering from various chronic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, and coronary artery disease. As a result, his health continued to decline day by day.Some time ago, his doctor found out that his serum creatinine index remained high. After a diagnosis, his doctor confirmed that his kidneys had also begun to decline.Coupled with his other diseases, the doctor said he would enter end-stage renal disease within a few years. By then, he must rely on long-term dialysis to maintain his life or put his hope on a kidney transplant.His health had deteriorated greatly because of all the chronic disea

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
