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

However, his gaze gradually grew firmer as he wiped his tears away,This was also the crucial moment where he gained a new understanding of money. No matter how rich people may be, they couldn’t bring their money with them after death. What was so wrong with spending more than thirty-eight billion US dollars at once? Wealth’s ultimate mission was to serve life!The audience watched as the skinny elderly with a sallow complexion reverted to a healthy appearance in just a flash. Shockingly, he looked spirited and healthy again, as though he had regained his lost youth. The sight made the audience seethe with envy.Envy wasn’t the only thing they felt. Many were in agony, for all the quarter pills available in the auction had all been bought and consumed by their rightful owners.The last Rejuvenating Pill for auction was a complete pill.Many couldn’t help but wonder about a full pill’s effect. A quarter pill was already effective. What more a full pill?Lee soon left the stage a

Jeremiah could hear the many soft distinct murmurs buzzing around him.That raised his excitement even more. His delight came from the pill, but most of it was due to the limelight.The past saw the Wade family weakened in the eyes of the world, for they were forced to surrender a staggering half of their property to the Ten Thousand Armies. They were talked about, belittled, and ridiculed by outsiders.The memories of it upset Jeremiah greatly. How he wished he could announce to the world that the Wade family wasn’t devoured by the Ten Thousand Armies. Not at all! On the contrary, it was them who took over and dominated the Ten Thousand Armies!Despite that, Jeremiah knew full well that his amazing grandson Charlie had no plans to let this fact be known to any outsider. The true relationship between the Wade family and the Ten Thousand Armies would remain hidden, just as Charlie desired.Jeremiah would love nothing more than to brag the truth to the world, but his courage failed

The deep wrinkles on his skin gradually faded, and the dark spots on his skin lightened and disappeared, just like magic.He was visibly turning younger. The pill was truly turning back time!With just a half pill, Jeremiah became younger by ten years. He transformed from a white-haired elderly to a slightly older man with partially gray hair. His ancient visage now carried traces of energetic youthfulness. The half pill’s effect renewed the crowd’s impression of the Rejuvenating Pill.Seconds later, they overcame their shock and erupted into intense discussions. Distinct murmurs could be heard from below the stage.“My goodness! To think a half pill’s effect could be so impressive! Jeremiah Wade looks like he’s ten years younger now!”“This is unbelievable! If half a Rejuvenating Pill can have such effects, won’t a full pill bring more miracles?!”“That’s obvious! One will surely become younger by at least twenty years after taking a full pill!”“God… How can there be such a

The last full pill was the finale of the entire auction which everyone looked forward to.While many of them couldn’t compete for the last Rejuvenating Pill, they wanted to see who had the power and strength to rise as the winner. They also wanted to know the potential miraculous effects of a full pill. The staff soon brought the full pill on stage. Jasmine gestured at it and announced with a smile, “The last full pill for the Rejuvenating Pill will start bidding at ten billion US dollars. Every bid has to be at least a hundred billion US dollars higher. Those who are interested may start bidding!”As soon as Jasmine finished her sentence, Bernard raised his hand and made his bid at once.“I will place a bid of fifty billion!”Bernard knew the final price would be at least a dozen billion, particularly when the last quarter pill was already sold for thirty-eight billion and two hundred million US dollars. As such, he immediately raised the price as a warm-up.Jordan had waited t

Everyone was busy speculating the true identities of Number 35 Number 99. Meanwhile, Number 16, Bernard, had collapsed from his overwhelming emotions.On paper, he had the highest net worth amongst the guestlist for the night. However, he didn’t expect to be eliminated from the competition for the last Rejuvenating Pill within the first few minutes. His despair and regret led him into an immediate mental breakdown. If only he had known that this would happen! He would’ve offered up to fifty billion for the last quarter bill in the previous auction rather than wait until the last auction, where he was eliminated after a few bids.Kathleen, who was in the private room, was completely stunned by the turn of events. She couldn’t see Carlson’s face, but from the man’s tone, one hundred and ten billion US dollars seemed to mean nothing to him.Under the current circumstances, it might be difficult for her grandfather to win the Rejuvenating Pill.Kathleen wasn’t the only one surprise

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
