Chapter 3892
The main reason why auctions were so popular all over the world was because while there was a lower limit, there was no upper limit for anything. Therefore, any item could fetch a sky-high price at an auction. Everything depended mainly on the strength and mentality of the competitors.
When they get on each other's throats, even the most worthless items could fetch a surprisingly high price.
In addition, few tactics were available in regard to a straightforward bidding method. There were only two commonly used methods. One was to either raise the price suddenly to scare the other party's momentum, implying to the other party
that you had money and could easily destroy them. The second was to slowly follow up and maintain your composure, to show the other party that you would play until the end.
Travis's first method didn't work, so he could only use the second. His plan was to simply raise the price by the ten million US dollars mark each time, so long as the price was still within his affordable range.
If the price were to reach an unacceptable level, he would simply quit in silence.
At this time, when the old queen of Northern Europe saw that there was still room to raise the price to an affordable limit. Without sparing the time to think, she hurriedly raised her hand and said out loud, "I will bid three hundred million US dollars!"
At this, Travis cursed inwardly, 'Damn you, old woman! Are you insane?! How can you bid three hundred million US dollars so easily? Do you know that three hundred million US dollars is almost equivalent to two billion Oskian dollars? I bought a whole Rejuvenating Pill for this amount before! What bad luck!'
Though Travis was cursing ferociously in his heart, he was perfectly calm on the outside and said casually, "I'll bid three hundred and ten million US dollars!"
The words left him bleeding painfully on the inside.
He originally thought that he could take advantage of the situation since no one in the audience had ever seen the
Rejuvenating Pill before. He assumed he could grab the first quarter of the
Rejuvenating Pill before anyone else, for a price that should not exceed three hundred million US dollars. Who would have expected the price to exceed three hundred million US dollars in just a blink of an eye?
Fortunately, he was an entrepreneur with a worth of tens of billions of dollars. He had at least ten billion US dollars with him. In essence, three hundred million US dollars meant nothing to him
Just then, the Middle Eastern tycoon from before raised his hand again to bid. "I'll bid three hundred and twenty million US dollars!"
'Fuck!' Travis cursed again,
agonized. He was about to bid three
hundred and thirty million US dollars

This man was one of the richest Africans in the world. He hailed from Nigeria, and was renowned as a supergiant in both Nigeria and the entire African continent.
He was on vacation in London some time ago when he heard that the upper-class society was in uproar about the Rejuvenating Pill's auction.
He suffered from Parkinson's disease ten years ago, and had been searching for the most advanced treatment methods around the world for many years.
Unfortunately the cause of
Parkinson's disease has yet to be
understood by the scientific
community. Although he was
vel
actively receiving various treatments in the years he contracted the
disease, the symptoms hadn't
improved much.
Not only that, but his condition continued to deteriorate in the past two years, so much so that his own life was greatly affected.
Nowadays, he was unable to walk by
himself due to the tremor in his hands and feet being too strong. He couldn't even eat on his own and had to rely on others to feed him. As he lost the ability to take care of himself completely, the quality of life dropped drastically. Content belongs
That wasn't all. He had also lost the nerve control for his five senses. His crooked mouth and slanted eyes was such an unpleasant sight that he hadn't been willing to look in a mirror for several years.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
Despite owning a massive fortune, he was robbed of the opportunity to enjoy it.
For so many years, his illness tortured him and made him feel less of a human. His biggest dream right now was to cure it so he could enjoy the rest of his life in peace. It didn't matter to him even if he had to make
a large financial sacrifice.
