Bernard grew distressed at Jasmine’s words. His face turned ugly, for he knew he was targeted. Worst of all, the people around him cheered for his misfortune.This was the moment he finally learnt his lesson. His customers weren’t the only ones disgusted by him. Even the other billionaires hated him.He finally realized the evil of a forced bundle sale. The deal targeted those who liked a certain item. The seller knew of the targeted market’s obsession with the product, so they used an alternative way to make the buyer pay more for the goods.If the buyer refused, the seller would claim that it was their sales policy. For those who wanted the goods, they must agree and pay. If they refuse, they could choose not to buy and leave.Bernard’s obsession with the Rejuvenating Pill was not just because he liked it. It was related to his health and lifespan.With his body’s current state, he would most likely end up dying if his lung cancer were to recur. Besides, the anti-cancer treatm

Bernard shook his head dispiritedly, knowing full well he had no way to refute. “I…I have no objections…”Jasmine nodded again, smiling. “If that's the case, both parties have expressed the willingness to accept the contract on a fair term. You’ve agreed with the contract for the Rejuvenating Pill’s purchase. Are you sure about this?”Bernard murmured with a dejected look, “I’m sure… I agree.”“Okay,” Jasmine smiled and continued, “Additionally, I have two extra messages for Number 16 and everyone else present today.”“First of all, every bidder doesn't have to worry about the purchase deal. This is only applicable to Mr. Bernard Arnault alone. Anyone else who wins the bid for the Rejuvenating Pill will not be charged any additional fees. As you’ve seen in the past four auctions for the quarter pills, we follow a strict and fair principle in the auction. The four bid winners didn’t need to pay any additional fees. Everyone, please don’t be worried about this!”The audience immedia

Bernard felt helpless, but was forced to accept Jasmine's conditions as he didn’t have any other choice. With teary eyes, he made an eighty billion US dollars payment and signed a contract agreeing to pay the rest in installments.For the next ten years, he must pay two billion and eight hundred million US dollars to the auction house annually.Once everything was in order, Jasmine finally announced, “Let us congratulate Number 16 for winning the bid for the last Rejuvenating Pill tonight.”At this, Bernard’s gloom disappeared momentarily and he excitedly prepared to go on stage. Meanwhile, the crowd looked disappointed at how things turned out.At last, Jasmine invited Bernard on stage. Then, the staff handed the pill to Bernard and placed it into his mouth.Bernard was shaking in excitement as he ate the pill.The rest of the bidders below the stage watched him closely. They had witnessed the effect of a quarter pill and a half pill, but they had yet to see the effect of a full

The final result was a shocking conclusion. When he came to the auction, he thought that having the pill improve his body’s condition and lessen his risk of cancer recurrence would be more than good enough.Yet, the amazing results went beyond his expectations. Never had he dreamt of such a wondrous miracle! He couldn’t help but mutter to himself, “I had to spend an additional thirty-six billion US dollars for this pill, but this is the most worthwhile purchase I’ve ever made in my life…!”Everyone else in the room watched as Bernard’s appearance transformed to almost twenty years younger. Their jealousy had reached their peak.The Rejuvenating Pill’s full effect was too incredible! Unfortunately, everyone else missed their opportunity to experience it. They would have to wait for at least a year until the next auction for the new batch of Rejuvenating Pills.Jasmine began her closing statement, “Everyone, thank you for your support. The auction tonight has finally come to an e

About three minutes ago, the state's emergency department received an emergency call from the Aurum Mansion, a high-end apartment in Aurous Hill. The expensive apartment units there were sold at eighty thousand dollars per square meter.The caller requested help for a patient who suddenly had a heart attack. Thus, the emergency department assigned the task to the hospital nearest to Aurum Mansion. The hospital then promptly arranged for the ambulance to hurry to the patient.Once the ambulance arrived at Aurum Mansion, four medical officers rushed out of the ambulance and headed to the top floor as fast as they could. All of them were all clad from head to toe in white coats, face masks, and medical hats. No one could see their faces clearly, but many could tell that they were three men and one woman.The four officers took the elevator to the top floor of Aurum Mansion. Following the house number reported in the emergency call, they soon arrived at apartment 2501.In truth, no o

Several soldiers from Ten Thousand Armies led Kathleen, Jordan and Jarvis to board a helicopter. They flew to Lancaster port in the darkness of the night.At this time, a cargo ship full of grain sacks had already raised its anchor and was slowly leaving the port. The crew of this ship were all the most trusted members of Ito-Schulz Ocean Shipping Group. They received the order to set sail overnight, and that several important passengers would be boarding the ship at sea.Even if they were trustworthy, Autumn still kept them from having active contact from the new passengers. This was to ensure that they were kept in the dark about the passengers. When the cargo ship left the brightly lit port and sailed into the darkness of the sea, two helicopters arrived and caught up with the ship. The helicopters then landed on the deck of the cargo ship one after the other.The first person to come out of the first helicopter was Rosalie, followed by several soldiers from Ten Thousand Armi

Rosalie replied with a small smile. “It’s no problem. This is part of my job, and you’re Mr. Wade’s friend.”Rosalie then added, “Mr. Wade said that you and Lord Fox leaving the country must be kept absolutely confidential. Thus, we cannot arrange for you to travel by air. The journey by ship is long, so you’ll need to get used to it. I hope you won’t mind.”“I understand.” Kathleen nodded and said, “I’m already very grateful to Mr. Wade that my grandfather and I are able to leave Aurous Hill.”Rosalie nodded. “I’ve just confirmed with the captain that our destination is the Tartus port in western Syria. For safety reasons, our cargo ship will not be docking anywhere before arriving at Tartus port. Our cargo ship is expected to arrive in Singapore in five days and the Suez Canal in about eighteen days. Including the time needed to queue up to cross the canal, we will arrive at Tartus port in about twenty days.”Kathleen nodded as well and replied gratefully, “Thank you, Miss Schulz

Kathleen tidied up her room a little and after settling down in the ship. Then, she made her way to her grandfather’s room. At that moment, Jarvis was helping Jordan to make the bed. Jordan was sitting on the single sofa in his room, staring blankly at the ceiling.When Jarvis saw Kathleen entering, he said respectfully, “Young Lady.”Kathleen nodded and said somewhat apologetically, “Master Yant, I’m so sorry for implicating you this time. I am afraid that you will not be able to return to your division anytime soon…”Jarvis shook his head. “Young Lady, you don’t need to apologize to me. It’s my duty to protect Lord Fox no matter where I am.”Jarvis then added, “As for returning to my division, I’m too embarrassed to do so anyway. What’s more, Julian’s whereabouts are still unknown. The division sent him here to take over my duties and stay with the Fox family. Now that he’s disappeared, I don’t know how I’d face them.”Kathleen said, “Now that I think about it, Mr. Larson’s pr

As Ian Cash's trio turned and left Treasure Measure, Trippy was still standing there, staring blankly as they headed off to the distance, utterly dispirited.Seeing that, Raymond returned his phone and said coolly, "We had agreed on some ground rules, but not only did you break them, you even tried to sabotage me.""Since you refuse to be honorable, you can't blame me for being cold—starting now, we shall have nothing to do with each other. We'll be strangers even if we bump into each other."Trippy was already choking, and he snatched his phone back before dashing out of Treasure Measure, calling Mick Crane as soon as he left.Mick had just arrived at Vintage Deluxe and hadn't even sat down when Trippy called, and he asked as soon as he answered, "How did it go? What did you find out?"However, Trippy was so exasperated he burst into tears right then, "M-Mr. Crane… My dear Mr. Crane…"Mick was left reeling from shock, and he promptly snapped, "Can't you fucking talk? Why are you

Seeing that the transaction was complete and that the bargain deal had been taken, the other collectors all excused themselves and left.As for Ian, once he had bagged the bronze sculpture, he nodded at Raymond. "I apologize for leaving early, Mr. Cole, but I must return to Eastcliff. However, you can contact me again should you pick up another treasure. I'm quite a spendthrift, and I pay up right away if the item is good and the price is right."Raymond smiled. "Very well. I shall contact you first the next time I get something good."Ian nodded and was ready to leave with his two friends when Trippy chased after them."Please, Mr. Cash!" He cried urgently, his anxiety overcoming him. "You shouldn't buy that! It's a forgery!"Ian frowned at him. "Are you trying to sabotage Mr. Cole? Aren't you supposed to be his friend?""Hell, no!" Trippy promptly replied. "I'm no friend of his—I'm just here to watch, but I didn't think he dared to trick you for 20 million! I can't bear to see

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
