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

After a few collection items were successfully auctioned, the auction event was finally approaching its long awaited end.The auction for the fourth quarter pill was about to begin. Charlie used the walkie-talkie and gave Jasmine some instructions.“Before the auction for the fourth quarter pill begins, please give the bidders a friendly reminder. For those who’re waiting to bid for the last full pill, if their financial strength is a little risky, advise them to bid for the fourth quarter pill first. Otherwise, they may not win anything.”Jasmine understood. She immediately announced to the bidders, “The next item for auction is the Rejuvenating Pill. This is the fourth quarter pill, which is also the last quarter pill available for auction. I believe everyone has witnessed the magical effects shown by the three quarter pills earlier. I know many have regretfully missed your chance to win the pills earlier. This is the last quarter pill available. Everyone, please seize the opportu

They felt like they would inevitably go home empty-handed if they didn’t seize the opportunity to win the final quarter pill. They were fully aware that the last full pill’s price wouldn’t be any lower than sixty or seventy billion US dollars.If they did the math and calculated the price, a quarter pill would be less than twenty billion US dollars. The problem was, paying sixty to seventy billion US dollars was beyond the abilities of many.On top of that, the rules forbade them from joint bidding. Those with insufficient funds would have to give up and try for the quarter pill instead. While the last quarter pill might be more expensive, they had no choice but to accept the facts and trudge on.Those who came to join the auction for the Rejuvenating Pill had their reasons, with most of them either very old or ill, or were suffering from terminal illnesses.Once one entered the state of counting their remaining days left in life, money would eventually become less important.At l

The world was never fair, even in the face of death.Many poor people lived in the most desolate areas of Asia, Africa, and Latin America. A glass of unclean water might cause malaria, promptly taking away a young adult’s life.If an ordinary man of the working class was diagnosed with cancer, a good social security system could allow him to live perhaps ten years more.In the best tumor hospital in the world, some patients could even survive the middle and late stages of cancer and live five years more, or even longer, as compared to an ordinary healthy man.Those in the auction who were fortunate enough to win the bidding for the Rejuvenating Pill had a chance to be fully recovered, even if they were diagnosed with mid-stage or late-stage cancer. They could extend their life from a few months to years or decades.Charlie used this special auction with special rules and forms to show the participants a miraculous medicine never seen before in the world, the Rejuvenating Pill.

He managed to save his money and attain immense wealth, but his life would reach an end in the coming three to six months.When Lee saw the British billionaire stop bidding, he was so excited that his body trembled uncontrollably.Jasmine, on the other hand, was dumbfounded to see how things had turned out.A quarter pill of Rejuvenating Pill could reach thirty-eight billion and two hundred million US dollars so easily. The amount exceeded the Moore family’s total net worth! What happened before her eyes was beyond her comprehension.Despite her shock, she remained professional. She asked politely, “Thirty-eight billion and two hundred million US dollars once. Are there any higher bidders?”The hall was deadly silent.The crowd was no longer shocked. Rather, they were filled with despair. They finally found the miracle of life, but no one expected the miracle to be so ridiculously expensive.After that, Jasmine continued asking and called for the price thrice. At last, the hamm

When Lee finally managed to make the payment of thirty-eight billion and two hundred million US dollars, he strode to the stage full of hope.He staggered from his physical weakness, his body so close to death. The pain from the terminal cancer tormented him greatly.He was already at the stage where he had to inject painkillers into his body multiple times a day. Before he left the room to join the auction, he made his subordinate inject a dose of painkillers.The painkiller's effects had weakened a lot by now. Every step he took gave him a heart-wrenching pain.Despite that, Lee’s endurance was by no means comparable to that of ordinary people.As an ex-soldier, he survived the war between North and South Korea. The brutal experience forged his extraordinary perseverance that lasted to this very day.Enduring the terrible pain, he staggered his way up the stage. The pain would not stop, but his mood gradually soared.He knew it was his last step before his rebirth of life. The

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
