Then it was Bert’s turn. After calling out the bid of $310 million, he also clasped his fists and said, Sorry, brothers. I hope you’ll forgive me if I’ve caused any offense.Next came Blair. He opened his mouth and directly bid $350 million, but just like the others, he clasped his fists and added, Sorry, brothers. I hope you’ll forgive me if I’ve caused any offense.Everyone else was dumbfounded. What kind of relationship did these three have? Each one called the other two brothers—so who exactly was the elder and who was the younger?Who was older and who was younger no longer mattered. What mattered was that none of the three was willing to back down. They kept outbidding each other, driving the price higher and higher with every passing second.In the blink of an eye, the bid had surged to $400 million.Jace was completely dumbstruck.Four hundred million US dollars!His necklace was only worth $20 million—this was already twenty times that price!What on earth was this Rejuvenati

Jace immediately pulled out his phone and called the pilot of his family’s private jet. Captain Chen, where are you right now?Jace had only flown in from Neon City on his father’s private jet that afternoon. He had originally planned to stay in Plass City for a few days, so the pilot was getting ready to fly the jet back that evening—after all, his father used the plane for the majority of the time.Jace’s only thought was that if the plane hadn’t left for Neon City yet, he would rush back on it at once.He would not let a stupid ruby necklace in his stomach cost him his life, no matter what.At that moment, the pilot of Jace’s family private jet was at Plass City Airport, waiting in line for takeoff.Answering Jace’s call, he said at once, Young Master, I’m in the takeoff queue right now, getting ready to fly back to Neon City.Jace blurted out, Apply to the tower for a delayed takeoff immediately, then taxi the plane back to the business jet tarmac and wait for me. I’m heading back

As soon as the Green family patriarch spoke these words, those who had originally opposed Lucia inheriting the patriarchal throne all wisely fell silent.They had come to a realization: since neither they nor their children had any chance of taking the patriarch’s seat, they would certainly prefer it to be passed to someone far more capable.For the more capable the patriarch, the more money everyone would get to share.Edwin was decent enough in his own right, but when it came to actual ability, he was far inferior to Lucia.Despite her youth, Lucia could oversee and manage every aspect of the Green family’s business with great competence.She had made the antique trade a roaring success under her stewardship, and breathed new life into the foreign trade business as well.It could be said that in terms of capability, Lucia outshone all the other descendants of the Green family—even her uncles.Honestly, everyone was truly convinced that she was the right person to inherit the family.

Because she thought, if she had saved the entire galaxy in her past life, then Mia, Master Alan’s wife, must have saved the whole universe in hers.Vincent’s heart was filled with emotion at Alan’s words. This was the brother he had grown up with—even after doing him such a great favor, he did not make Vincent feel indebted in the slightest, but instead attributed it all to their past lives.Though he had lived a life of poverty for more than twenty years, having such a capable brother made all those years of hardship worthwhile.At that moment, Alan checked the time and said to Vincent, Vincent, Mr. Blair, I still have business to attend to tonight. So you drive Mr. Blair back first. When we get the chance in the future, I’ll go to Persian Harbor or you come to Plass City, and we brothers will catch up then.At this, Blair quickly waved his hand and said, Master Alan, I have no other business tonight! You and Vincent go on with your catch-up—don’t mind me at all!Alan smiled softly a

Alan asked, Is there anything I can do to help? If you need me, just say the word.Lucia said, Master Alan, you’ve already helped me so much—I can’t possibly ask for more of your help. On the contrary, if you ever need anything from me in the future, please don’t hesitate to let me know. I truly hope to have the chance to repay your kindness!Alan smiled and said, You don’t have to keep talking about repaying me. If I ever need your help, I’ll definitely not stand on ceremony with you.Lucia nodded gently and said, Alright, Master Alan. I understand.Alan hummed in response. Lucia, when you go back, give the Rejuvenation Elixir to your grandfather directly. It’ll make him very happy.Lucia hurried to say, I understand!Alan smiled softly, checked the time and said, Alright, it’s getting late. Let’s go. I’m sure the Green family patriarch is waiting for you to return right now.Lucia felt a deep sense of reluctance. She had never had the chance to be alone with Alan like this, especial
