Chandler’s words gave Jordan a huge reality check. Truly, Jordan couldn’t refute any of Chandle’s arguments. Chandler wanted to give his old friend a wake-up call once and for all, so he continued, “Jordan, you have to understand. Your son didn’t just seize your power willy-nilly. He even instigated everyone on the board of directors to overthrow you. Your obsession with the Rejuvenating Pill had gone overboard. You’ve even prepared two hundred billion US dollars just to win the auction! That must have alarmed your children, your board, and all the other shareholders.”“In other words, you’re no different than an old king who didn’t hesitate to exchange the power of his country in pursuit of longevity. Your descendants and followers couldn’t stand it anymore, so they lost their trust in you and stopped supporting you. They even regarded you as a failed king and a tyrant. They simply wanted to overthrow you so that everything will be normal again.”“You should think about it careful

Charlie’s revelation dumbfounded Kathleen and Jordan. He said it so easily, but it hit them like a bolt out of the blue.They had never expected the rumors to be so vastly different from reality. Word had it that the Wade family had to give away half their assets to the Ten Thousand Armies in order to be freed from Porter, the leader of Ten Thousand Armies. The truth turned out to be the complete opposite.The Wade family never ceded half their assets to Ten Thousand Armies. Instead, Charlie had taken the whole Ten Thousand Armies under his command. The Ten Thousand Armies, which was made of thousands of powerful mercenaries! A mercenary group couldn’t be compared to the American army. However, a wealthy family like the Fox family was incomparable in terms of scale and combat strength,Kathleen could barely process the newfound information. On the contrary, Jordan came to a sudden realization. He blurted out, “No wonder… That explains why Master Yant found it odd when we entered

To Charlie, there was no need for him to expose his identity to the Acker family, particularly when he was still unsure if they were friend or foe.As for who in that family needed the Rejuvenating Pill, he wasn’t bothered to look into it for the time being.Chandler was in full agreement with Charlie’s conjecture.Since the Acker family could afford to send Christian to the auction to check the truth, it proved that their need for the Rejuvenating Pill was not so urgent. Otherwise, the one who needed it would have come over in person, just like Jordan did. Chandler nodded to Charlie and said with a smile, “Very well, Mr. Wade. I’ll be making my leave first.”Charlie said, “You may return and wait. I need to make some arrangements before resuming the auction.”At last, Chandler left the VIP room.Charlie waited until Chandler was gone before giving the person in charge of Ito-Schulz Ocean Shipping Group a call. Once the call connected, he asked Autumn, “Autumn, are there any sh

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 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
