“Hanson! You’ve wronged me tremendously! I wouldn’t have the courage to cause you trouble because it was you who saved my life.” Ethan dropped his dignity, sank to his knees and begged for forgiveness with his arms around Hanson’s legs. Looking at Ethan’s behavior, Hanson realized that Ethan did not seem to be lying. He took a glance at Zayn standing in the distance then said, “Talk to me properly and tell me about Zayn then.”Ethan hastily told everything that he knew about Zayn to Hanson in detail without the slightest reservation. “Are you sure that Zayn has been married into the Carter family and lived with his in-laws for four years?” After listening to Ethan’s description, Hanson was still rather suspicious and confused. If Zayn was just a deadbeat who married into his wife’s family, how did he become Mr. Hyde’s master and how was he so skilled in martial arts then?“I’m absolutely sure, Hanson!” Ethan exerted his strength to speak, “If I were to lie to you at any point, I
“The feeling is mutual.” Zayn smiled, saying nothing more. It did not take long before the auction finally kicked into full swing. Zayn had never attended any auction before but he used to watch it on the television. It was a rather sensational experience. The first items were ten professionally-trained soldiers. They looked like ordinary people, but all of them possessed specially-trained skills. These ten soldiers were auctioned at the opening bid of 1.5 million dollars and in the end, they were auctioned off to a wealthy businessman at five million dollars. On the other hand, the next item to be auctioned was an internationally-renowned assassin. The highest bidder had the opportunity to order the assassin to kill off three people of their choice unconditionally. Next, all sorts of strange and peculiar items were auctioned and the opening bids were only ramping up higher and higher. In fact, someone had even tried to auction off martial arts techniques, which was an eye-open
Mr. Hyde looked at the Ossiumol on the auction table with a fervent gaze. He said to Zayn, “Master, you must bid for the Ossiumol, it’s going to have a huge effect on you!”Zayn inhaled a deep breath to calm his excited emotions. He nodded and said, “I shall try my best.”The auctioneer kept the people guessing enough already and ignited the enthusiastic atmosphere of the scene then he began to announce the auction, “The Ossiumol-1 refined by pharmaceutical scientist Sir Harlem, the opening bid is 15 million dollars and it will be sold to the highest bidder.”Zayn inhaled sharply. The opening bid for one Ossiumol pill was 15 million dollars. It was too pricey. One should know that many huge businesses could not even make 15 million dollars in profit over a year. No wonder it was said that the auction tonight was not to be announced to the public. The tax revenue produced from the event netted the organizers a large sum of money already. Moreover, the price of 15 million dollars
“Did I hear you right? 225 million dollars?”A clap was heard. Someone gave himself a hard slap, he had a look of astonishment and incredulousness on his face. “That has to be fake, right? 225 million dollars for one Ossiumol? I wouldn’t even be able to make 225 million dollars in my lifetime!”“225 million dollars is pure insanity. Judging by how relaxed he was, he didn’t really take the 225 million dollar bid very seriously. Where did that rich man come from, huh? He looks very young.”“I’ve never met him, but he seems to be Mr. Hyde’s master. He was involved in a conflict with Hanson earlier.”“Mr. Hyde’s master? I’ve never heard of him before though.”“He must be a big shot to be capable of bidding 225 million dollars. Plus, he outbidded Hanson on purpose after his big statement. Isn’t he going against Hanson just to get on his nerves? Hah-hah.”“It’s about time someone taught Hanson a lesson for throwing his weight around all the time just because his father’s the vice presi
Would you like to outbid the price?The question sounded like blatant mockery to Hanson!He glared at the auctioneer with a murderous stare. The auctioneer was so startled by Hanson’s aggression that he lowered his head in a haste. He did not have the courage to look at Hanson anymore but he cursed in his heart that Hanson deserved what he got. Everyone’s gaze was fixated on Hanson. They were curious about what he was going to do. Hanson had always been a very emotionally unstable person. He was constantly trying to calm himself by drawing deep and intense breaths.He was at the Aeolus House’s auction tonight solely for the Ossiumol. It was because he found out that an Ossiumol pill of very good quality would be auctioned off at the Aeolus House tonight through his professional channel. On the other hand, he was an acquired skilled fighter now so by consuming the Ossiumol pill, there was a high chance for him to make a breakthrough in his skills. On the other hand, he would be
The more Mr. Otto was unable to see through Zayn, the more it meant that Zayn was more powerful than he seemed. As for Shaelyn, she appeared to be even more shocked now. She gazed at Zayn deeply and felt her heart race. She was an administrative officer at the Aeolus House too where she organized a lot of auctions and met lots of big shots. Yet, it was her first time meeting someone so young yet bold like Zayn. She was mainly shocked by how young Zayn was, he was only a little over 20 years old. The steadiness, reserved quality exuded from Zayn had smittened her for no apparent reason…Mr. Hyde was shocked as well. He could not help turning around to take a glance at Zayn. Yes, it was his idea for Zayn to attend the Aeolus House’s auction tonight and the conflict with Hanson afterward was a part of his plan as well. Yet, he did not expect that Zayn would step right into the trap willingly knowing that it was him who planned this. Moreover, Zayn offended Hanson to the best of his
His vomit coincidentally splattered on Ethan’s face. Those two pills were both Ossiumol, but there was a stark difference between the two. The better one was an Ossiumol-100. It was of the best quality with the strongest medicinal effect and the least side effects. The chance of it helping the acquired skilled fighter to make a breakthrough to becoming a master skilled fighter was also higher as well. The second best was Ossiumol-1 with a weaker medicinal effect compared to Ossiumal-100 and had a lower probability of assisting a breakthrough. The third best would be Ossiumol-2 and Ossiumol-3. Therefore, the quality of Ossiumol was divided into four categories with the best being Ossiumol-100, but it was so rare that one might not even find a single pill produced in many years. That was why he did not expect that it would be auctioned off at the Aeolus House today. Moreover, it would take place after Ossiumol-1 had been auctioned off beforehand. Hanson had never felt so hopele
It was not an exaggeration that Zayn could simply sell it off now and make more than 150 million dollars through it—not that he would possibly do it. Zayn was keeping Ossiumol-100 to himself. When he held the pill, he could sense just how extraordinary it was. It was unlike any medicine on the market as it felt like it had a life of its own. Zayn even had an illusion that the pill would slip away on its own if he let go of it.The hallucination that Zayn experienced was all because of the potency of Ossiumol-100.The auction went on, auctioning off other gems rarely found in the market, but nothing could compare to the Ossiumol medicine.Having achieved his goal, there was no reason for Zayn to stay. He got ready to leave after eyeing Mr. Hyde to signal him.“Mr. Larson, please hold on.”Before he stepped out of the Aeolus House, a melodious voice with a buzz came from the back. It was the alluring Shaelyn who had come over by herself this time.“Is something the matter?” Zayn tu
