The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family



Therefore, he increased the price by nearly two hundred million as soon as he started bidding just to get his hands on the Rejuvenating Pill.

This was equally surprising for Travis, the old queen of Northern Europe, and the Middle East billionaire who had bid earlier. None of them expected the African tycoon to be so powerful! In just a flash, he had raised the price of the previous bid to an outrageous level.

Travis was depressed.

Five hundred million US dollars converted into Oskian dollars was easily more than three billion dollars. He could afford the price, but he was reluctant to pay so much.

In the previous Rejuvenating Pill auction, he managed to win a full pill with just two billion dollars.

Now, he needed to fork out three billion dollars for just a quarter pill. He was unwilling to do so.

While he was struggling to decide, the old queen of Northern Europe had already made up her mind. She raised her hand and made another bid, saying, "I'll offer five hundred and fifty million!"

She only had enough liquid cash reserve to pay six hundred US dollars at most. She intended to make a last ditch effort to win the auction. If she lost, she could only pin all her hopes on Charlie.

The richest African tycoon did not place any bid before, but suddenly joined in and raised the price. It was a surprise attack on his unaware competitors. He preferred to stay low while waiting for the right time to strike.NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

Now that he had struck, he refused to back down. Thus, he said, "I offer six hundred million."

The old queen's heart sank immediately at this. She knew she would most likely go home empty-handed. Even so, she still wanted to give it a last try. She raised her hand and announced, "Six hundred and ten million!"

It was by then that Travis finally returned to his senses.

The price point of six hundred and ten million was indeed an astronomical amount. Despite that, it would surely be the lowest price to obtain the Rejuvenating Pill for the night.

Besides, he had seen the way the African tycoon trembled badly, as well as the man's crooked mouth and oddly slanted eyes. From that, Travis immediately realized it. The African tycoon had severe Parkinson's disease.

Travis began to ponder in silence.

'If the guy with Parkinson's disease wins the bid for the first quarter pill, he'll eat the pill on stage in front of everyone and might even recover immediately. When that happens, the subsequent Rejuvenating Pills will become even more expensive!'

He gritted his teeth at that frightening thought. Just as he was about to raise the bid to six hundred fifty million, he heard a trembling voice rising in pitch and exclaiming, offer seven... seven... seven hundred million!"

The crowd instantly fell into an uproar.

S

More than half of the auction participants were devastated. They could never imagine seeing such a small quarter pill auctioned a t such a high price. It had already exceeded their expectations.

Travis almost shouted his bid, but quickly swallowed his words. Despite that, he was still very reluctant to give up.

He was so close to getting the Rejuvenating Pill. It might be his only chance in life. He clenched his teeth and shouted, "Seven hundred fifty million! Godd*mnit! I offer seven hundred fifty million! F*ck!"

Jasmine promptly reminded," Number 55, please mind your language. Don't swear profanities in public."

Travis hurriedly nodded in panic. "I'm so sorry, Miss Moore! I shouted on impulse. I'll pay attention to my words."

Travis's roar of desperation, however,

failed to intimidate the African tycoon. He continued raising his trembling right hand and raised his voice, shouting, "Eight hundred million. I offer eight hundred million!"
