Three hundred billion US dollars! Many in the hall almost fainted at the insane offer.However, their curiosity was roused. Who was Carlson? How was he able to pay so much money?Not only that, but he even offered an additional eighty billion US dollars just to take the pill with him. Was he buying the pill for someone else?!Jasmine began to panic. Charlie was the one who set the rule where the bidder must eat the pill immediately upon winning. However, Carlson’s offer came with an additional eighty billion US dollars. That alone had already exceeded the Moore family’s total net worth.That, and Jasmine couldn’t possibly make any decisions on Charlie’s behalf!In the control room, Isaac was completely stunned by Carlson’s offer. He turned to Charlie and gulped nervously, and asked with a stammer, “S-sir… This…What should we do…?”Charlie watched Carlson through the surveillance camera and smiled slightly. “Those who want to take the pill home only have two objectives. They eithe

‘If I can’t bring back the pill, I shouldn’t buy it for myself…’‘But I’ve finally won it and even offended Sir Jordan for it. To return home empty-handed is just… I can’t accept this!’While he hesitated and struggled to decide, Jasmine asked again, “Number 99, will you be making the payment?”Carlson hesitated for a moment and finally decided to put his dignity away. He begged, “I beg you! Please give me a chance and let me have the pill! If one hundred billion US dollars isn’t enough, I’ll top up another fifty billion!”An additional fifty billion to his existing offer would make it three hundred and seventy billion US dollars in total.Many in the hall were stunned. They wouldn’t have dreamt of someone who could come up with three hundred seventy billion US dollars in cash! Who was this man?Carlson knew he could not eat the Rejuvenating Pill himself. Otherwise, he would become a target for the rest.He only had two choices, and both didn’t look very good. Either he took the

Bernard was so emotional to hear that, he almost burst into tears there and then. He was eliminated early because of Jordan and Carlson. He didn’t expect that there was still hope left for him.He looked forward to seeing Jordan give up. The Rejuvenating Pill would be his if Jordan gave up purchasing rights. He also hoped Jordan wouldn’t be able to pay so that the pill could become his!On top of that, he wouldn’t have to pay any additional amount. He only needed to pay with the amount he made in his last bid earlier, which was only seventy-two billion US dollars.Thinking that, he changed his opinion on the organizer. Whoever he was, he wasn’t as horrible as Bernard once thought. On the contrary, his actions were reasonable and humane.Jordan had become emotional once more, on his way to a second breakdown. He ended up with a final bid of two hundred and ten billion earlier because of Carlson’s persistence. If Carlson didn’t join the bidding, would he have pushed the price up so h

Jasmine then added with a meaningful smile, “Number 35, you’re the one who made the bid at two hundred and ten billion US dollars. That means that the price is within your affordability. Besides, it’s already a dream come true for you to purchase the pill even at this price. If you are dissatisfied and keep insisting for a re-auction, I’ll have the staff escort you out.”She went on, “We can sell the Rejuvenating Pill to Number 16 at seventy-two billion US dollars. Perhaps that means we’ll suffer a huge loss. After all, it’s around three hundred billion US dollars less than the highest offer earlier.”“However, losing three hundred billion US dollars isn't important to us. Upholding the rules is the most important!”“For those who try to challenge our rule and fairness, we’ll remove them from the auction at once!”“We will do the same regardless of the offender’s wealth and status. We do not welcome them here!”Jordan’s heart skipped an anxious beat at Jasmine’s harsh reminder.H

“You! What did you just say?!”Jordan blacked out and almost fainted at that very second. Fortunately, Jarvis was right beside him. He supported him and pressed on a pressure point on Jordan’s hand, allowing Jordan to regain his consciousness.Immediately after, Jordan demanded furiously, “How can that b*stard call the emergency order? Does he even have the authority?!”Jace explained with great difficulty, “The Sir has called for a board meeting and presented the complete evidence regarding your funds and transactions at the group’s Swiss bank account…”“He told the board that you’ve deliberately gathered two hundred billion US dollars just for a fabled life elixir…”“He believed that your current health conditions have affected your sanity, including your rationale. If you continue to be the chairman, it’ll cause the group a huge financial loss and pose a big risk to the future operations. As such, they executed the highest emergency order…”Jace continued, “Everyone on the boa

He lost count of the endless despair, emotional, and hopeful moments he had during the entire night. It kept going on and on like an unending cycle.He felt his heart was growing weak from all the overwhelming emotions. If this continued, he would go through a heart attack and pass away before even eating the pill.Bernard stared intensely at Jordan, hoping to hear Jordan say that he couldn’t buy or pay for the pill. If that happened, Bernard would be able to buy the Rejuvenating Pill with just seventy-two billion US dollars!Kathleen, meanwhile, was relieved when she found out that her grandfather was eligible to win the pill. However, her heart jumped in shock and anxiety when she heard her grandfather’s angry roar. Immediately, she knew her uncle must have taken the chance to usurp her grandfather’s position. Jace the butler stuttered helplessly, “My Lord… I’m so sorry. I have no way to help you now… I’m under house arrest. Sir ordered at least dozens of mercenaries to surround

Jordan’s face twisted into a pained expression. He never expected his dutiful son, who valued family and affection, would treat him so ruthlessly. He thought his son had always regarded him as the most important person out of everyone else. The terrible truth was that his son hated him intensely due to his long life.Jordan was so obsessed with longevity, he even traveled far to Aurous Hill for it. His eldest son must have been furious with that.Thus, the man chose to reveal his true colors at such a time.Despite Jordan’s reluctance to admit it, he knew that his son must have already gained complete control over the Fox family in the United States. After all, his son managed to remove him from power by making almost all the board members vote in his son’s favor. The man was confident that Jordan would be powerless to resist. With how almost all the board members showed support for his son, that also meant that Jordan had lost their trust for him.Jordan was already dying, una

Jarvis hurriedly supported the unconscious Jordan. He read Jordan’s pulse immediately. Noticing that it was steadily weakening and that Jordan was approaching death, he shouted anxiously, “He might not be able to make it! Hurry, call the ambulance!”The door to the second-floor private room suddenly burst open. Kathleen stood behind the railing and fled inside, crying in panic. “Grandpa! Master Yant, what happened to my grandfather?!”Jarvis looked up to see Kathleen on the second floor and murmured sadly, “Miss Kathleen, Lord Fox, he… I’m afraid he might not make it!”Kathleen fell into an immediate breakdown. She shouted at the staff, “His life is at stake! Please call the ambulance!”Jarvis carried Jordan up from his seat and alerted the staff as well. “Please call the ambulance!”Jasmine ordered the staff to summon the emergency staff in at once. Frightened that someone might accidentally faint due to turbulent emotions in the auction, she had arranged for an emergency team in

Pausing, Charlie then said, "I'll call Steve to drop by later too. I'm sure folks in Aurous Hill won't know him, but your potential troublemaker might.""I-Is that really fine?" Yolden blurted."What's not fine about it?" Charlie chuckled. "He has been treated like a tool ever since he came to Aurous Hill, and now that he has a chance to strut about, he wouldn't ask for more."Yolden appeared slightly relieved at that, and Charlie asked, "By the way, where's Paul, Matilda, and Autumn?""Getting their makeup done," Yolden replied. "Paul's my best man while Autumn's the maid of honor.""Good," Charlie nodded with a grin. "Don't worry—the wedding's going to be a success."As they spoke, Matilda stepped out of the dressing room in a stark-white wedding dress, flanked by Autumn and Paul.Seeing Charlie, Autumn nodded politely, "Good morning, Mr. Wade."As Charlie nodded in turn, Paul started, "G-Good morning… Mr. Wade…"Seeing that he was nervous and tentative, Charlie knew that he

As Yolden and Matilda were remarrying after living abroad for years, the wedding ceremony was much simpler, skipping Oskian customs and having a simple wedding reception for their guests at the hotel hall.There weren't that many guests either—aside from their children and close friends, only a handful of Yolden's colleagues at Aurous Hill University were invited.As the celebrant, Charlie didn't have much to do and was mainly the emcee.He brought along his jacket as he headed out to Shangri-La, not wearing it immediately so that Claire wouldn't guess that he was attending Matilda's wedding.Arriving at the Hanging Gardens before the guests were supposed to arrive, he found Yolden working with the staff to finalize the preparations.Seeing Charlie, Yolden approached him and said, "Thanks for coming this early, Charlie."Noticing that he was a little tired, Charlie asked in concern, "Had a bad night?"Yolden nodded, sighing, "Paul's uncle caused a huge mess. Both Matilda and I a

Tarlon nodded. "How do you suggest we find them?"Fleur scowled. "There's no rush. There are things which I'm still confused about, so just keep a close eye on the Ackers and the Wades for the time being. Report to me right away if anything important comes up—don't afford our enemies any opportunities to exploit.""Yes, milady!" -The next day, more news outlets were covering the joint project between the Ackers and the Wades as word continued to spread.However, neither family revealed too many details, be it the name of the company, who was the CEO, or the scale of their business.While the public was dying with curiosity, nothing else was known.Still, Aurous Hill's officials were especially interested, with the town hall visiting the Ackers the next day and showing utmost sincerity by leasing a whopping 2-million-square-meter land along the southern highway. Still, the condition was for the Ackers to come true on their promise to propel the city's economy to 15 billion US d

Fleur had repeatedly mentioned the conspiracy theory of Ashley using a body double over the last twenty years.Tarlon had investigated from many different angles, but everything from the gender, age, dental records, to body figure pointed to the fact that the deceased was Ashley Acker.And yet, Fleur had never bought it, insisting that Curtis was prepared for them just because Curtis' son had gone missing soon after.There was no way Curtis would save his son but not his wife, and the disfigured corpse only added fuel to Fleur's suspicion.Thus, over the last twenty years, Fleur had kept a close eye on the Ackers, arranging for two 'scholars' to be embedded amongst their ranks as sleeper agents. She went that far all to determine if Ashley was dead or had faked her death.However, the scholars had since been killed in action, and they had no spies within the Ackers left.As for Tarlon, he still doubted Fleur's theory even now, but he remained respectful as he spoke, "Milady, I mu

Meanwhile, on the edge of the South Pole, Tarlon Griffin rushed outside of Fleur Griffin's room, knocking the door gingerly as he announced, "I have news, my lady!"Fleur didn't respond, but the thick wooden door between them slowly opened as if pushed by an invisible force.Tarlon entered to find Fleur seated on the floor with her legs crossed at the ankles. Her eyes remained closed as she molded her Reiki, asking, "What is it?"Tarlon quickly answered, "News from Oskia. The Ackers are partnering with the Wades on a joint venture into electric-powered vehicles."Fleur slowly opened her eyes, asking quietly, "And you're telling me because?"Tarlon quickly explained, "It just came out of the blue, so I thought I should report it to you right away."Fleur sighed. "After I tried and failed to wipe out the Ackers so many times, they wouldn't dare set foot stateside. If anything, they must have decided to seek asylum in Oskia by offering a substantial investment, and it's a base whe

Silent for a while, Matilda then asked Yolden, "Do you think I can do it?""Yes!" Yolden nodded without hesitation. "You definitely won't have any problems!"Matilda sighed, shaking her head. "We traveled far abroad to study while we were young, but we didn't return to Oskia to help the country's development. It's been thirty years since, and now that we have returned to the country at the same time, I definitely wouldn't turn down such an opportunity to help."Pausing, she then said, "That said, major corporations make it a point to not hire family members. Forget spouses—employees aren't allowed to date, and one of the two will be asked to resign if necessary."Don't you think it's inappropriate since we are legally married, having gotten our certificate and all? And if we set these precedents, we would have trouble asking other employees to follow that policy. You are going to be a CEO, so you need a very clear answer on this issue."Yolden shrugged. "In the first place, that p

Yolden nodded slightly. "He does.""My gosh…" Matilda murmured. "That's too much… Ashley's son? A member of the Acker family and the Wades?!"Pausing, she then asked in confusion, "Wait, if Charlie has so much power and influence, why would he permanently reside in Aurous Hill… No, why would he be content as Jacob Wilson's son-in-law? Does Jacob know who he really is?""Definitely not," Yolden shook his head. "There were some compelling circumstances, and his identity is a sensitive one. That's why I'm asking you to tell no one except Paul—and even then, you should only tell him if he can keep the secret."Matilda was sharp enough to pick up on the reasoning, too. "Charlie's hiding because of his parents' accident, isn't he?""Yes," Yolden sighed. "He has his plans, but I didn't pry since I can only do that much, let alone help him on that.""Got it," Matilda nodded repeatedly. "Don't worry. My lips are sealed… And you just said you're resigning? Are you going to help with this e

"That would be Ashley Layna Acker," Matilda replied without hesitation. "She was our age, as well as a major investor in Silicon Valley, while we were only starting to get our first clients. It's no exaggeration to say that she's the shining example in many case studies when it comes to business."Pausing, she then continued, "And she used to be your classmate, right? I remember you mentioning that in our conversations before.""Yes," Yolden sighed emotionally. "She was a classmate and the star of our generation."Matilda nodded but soon shook her head, "Wait, weren't we talking about Charlie's car company? What does that have to do with Ashley Acker?" "Here's where I let you in on a secret," Yolden said. "But first, you have to promise me that you won't tell anyone except Paul."Matilda nodded without hesitation. "Don't worry—if it's a secret, I won't tell Paul either."Yolden scratched his head. "Actually, Paul should know. We are going to marry soon, and he's my stepson, lega

In fact, the legal department of major enterprises covered many responsibilities, the chief of which concerned intellectual property, which was why veterans were needed to lead.Additionally, Charlie trusted Matilda's accomplishments in the legal field, especially since she had worked in the United States for years.With Curtis Autos' intended expansion worldwide, that meant the legal department should also know the laws of countries abroad, ready to file or respond to lawsuits at any time. After all, competitors may use the law to impede their growth, along with the government applying unfair policies to impede their development and impact on local businesses.Moreover, Charlie considered Paul young and therefore lacking in experience, not to mention that it was not likely he would abandon his family's law firm. As such, the ideal solution was to poach Matilda for now.As for Matilda, she was still in the dark and had no idea what she was in for, asking Charlie in confusion, "Lega
