“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
Having received another huge blow, Shaelyn was stunned and could not help asking, “Are you sure you don’t want to have dinner with me? I’m sure you’re aware that plenty of men would kill for a chance with me.”The smile remained on Zayn’s face as he retorted, “Do I look like I’m joking?”No…That was exactly why Shaelyn was crestfallen! Fortunately, her mental fortitude was not so easily shaken. She easily wiped the awkwardness off her expression. Schooling her face into another enticing smile, she replied, “Heh, I was actually joking with you too.”Zayn smiled while being dismissive to the answer, and said, “I’ll excuse myself from interrupting your business if you have nothing else for me, Shaelyn.”She raised her brow lightly. “Let me send you both out.”Zayn did not refuse the offer, allowing her to see him off to the door. He thanked her politely without a hint of arrogance or insolence. His gentlemanly demeanor provided no flaw for Shaelyn to pick on.Watching Zayn leave wit
A master fighter, also known as a stellar skilled fighter, was, in a way, a renewed human. Not only would one’s fighting skills be remarkable and could take on a group of opponents, but their vitality would be strengthened as a result of physical changes. As long as it was not a case of poison, a conspiracy, or an accident, one could usually live up to 120 years old or even more.According to Mr. Hyde, stellar skilled fighters were scarce in the world and were as rare as a unicorn’s horn. If Zayn could break through to being a stellar skilled fighter, that would put him up in the ranks of some notable masters and qualify him to compete against the world’s best. Alas, it was not yet enough to challenge Sicut In Caelo because there were also many stellar skilled fighters in the organization.“Is there anything else after being a stellar skilled fighter?” Zayn asked the key point.It was his first time hearing the concept, so he was curious. He was an acquired fighter now and rarely ha
Hanson had gone into isolated training with a vindictive determination. He was resolute to become a master fighter and give as good as he got!When he got back to Northmob Council, Xander berated him for spending 300 million dollars on Ossiumol-1 when someone else had bought Ossiumol-100 with just 40 million dollars. He had shamed the Griffins. Therefore, Xander ordered him to advance to the master fighter level no matter what it took.It was with such determination and resolution that Hanson believed that he would make it. Once he succeeded in becoming a master fighter, his status would be different. He was going to be elevated, and the world would be his oyster!Even when he was determined enough, the pain that came during his breakthrough was insufferable! Ossiumol was simply too potent. To an ordinary person, it was basically lethal poison. A tiny bit ingested would damage their insides and corrupt the organs, finally making one bleed to death. Only acquired fighters whose bodie
