Chapter 551 The Auction (Part 2)
No sooner had the words left Alan’s mouth than the head of the Green family raised his hand at once and said, Master Alan, I’ll bid 21 million US dollars!Jace was instantly dumbfounded when he heard this.He turned to the head of the Green family and asked coldly, Grandpa Green, are you deliberately sticking up for this Alan and trying to pick a fight with me?I came to the Green family this time with full sincerity. If you’re going to be this uncooperative, don’t blame me for turning hostile!The head of the Green family wore an embarrassed expression. He wasn’t bidding just to defend Alan—he genuinely coveted the Rejuvenation Elixir.As someone who had personally experienced the miraculous effects of the elixir, no amount of Rejuvenation Elixirs would ever be enough for him.But Jace’s words made him hesitate. He had no desire to openly offend Jace, for doing so would be tantamount to making a powerful enemy for the Green family.At that moment, Alan smiled and said, Head of the Gr
Chapter 552 The Auction (Part 3)
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
Chapter 553 Swallowing the Necklace (Part 1)
I remember your grandfather and father have roamed the circles for decades, renowned far and wide for keeping their word and being true to their promises. Is the Devinsire family really going to break that legacy with your generation?At these words, Jace’s face turned ashen in an instant.He never thought Claude would know so much about his father and grandfather.The Devinsire family of Neon City had clawed their way to where they stood today, and it was inseparable from the unremitting efforts of Jace’s forefathers for generations.What’s more, his ancestors, even down to his father and grandfather’s generation, had held honor and credibility in the highest regard, and their words had always been law in the outside world.Jace knew full well that if Claude sent that video to the elite circles of Neon City, the Devinsire family would be utterly disgraced and become the laughingstock of everyone.If the family found out he had broken his promise today, he would be finished. His grand
Chapter 554 Swallowing the Necklace (Part 2)
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
Chapter 555 Lucia Assumes the Patriarchal Throne (Part 1)
As her grandfather, who’d doted on her and watched her grow up, how could he not wish for a perfect future for her?In every way, Jace paled in comparison to Alan—by a mile.Edwin’s mood was utterly miserable at that moment.He had never imagined his grandfather would risk offending Jace just to curry favor with Alan.Edwin was no fool. He could see clearly why the old man held Alan in such high regard: he had become somewhat addicted to the Rejuvenation Elixirs.In other words, the old man had turned down the olive branch extended by Jace and the Devinsire family to fawn over Alan. This proved that, in his eyes, the family’s wealth no longer mattered—all he cared about was how many more years he could live.Otherwise, he would never have abandoned the Devinsire family for Alan.This filled Edwin with a deep-seated resentment.First and foremost, if the old man turned his back on the Devinsire family, the Green family would lose a golden chance to rise to great heights.Secondly, if t
Chapter 556 Lucia Assumes the Patriarchal Throne (Part 2)
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.
Chapter 557 Reuniting with a Good Brother
Now that Lucia had become the patriarch of the Green family, the birthday banquet felt even more grand and spectacular.As the banquet drew to a close, the Green family’s servants wheeled out a huge birthday cake.Twenty-six candles were stuck all over the cake. The moment the lights in the hall went out, Lucia stood alone before the candles. The flickering candlelight cast a glow on her exquisite face, making her indescribably beautiful.Lucia folded her hands in front of her chest, closed her eyes, and silently made a wish.Then she opened her eyes and looked at Alan with an affectionate gaze.At this moment, she thought Alan was the god of her heart.Alan did not notice the way Lucia was looking at him.Since she was in the dark when the lights went out, he took advantage of his extraordinary eyesight to quietly observe Clyde and Edwin, father and son.The instant the lights went out, the father and son, who had been feigning calm and forcing smiles all along, had their expressions
Chapter 558 Alone Together (Part 1)
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
Chapter 559 Alone Together (Part 2)
Alan nodded and said, Sure.Lucia’s face lit up with delight. Wonderful! I know a spot that’s incredibly quiet, with hardly anyone around. We can walk along the beach and feel the breeze on our faces.With that, Lucia steered the car onto a side road.After driving a kilometer or two, she pulled over to the curb and said to Alan, There’s a path down from here. Let’s get out here.Alan nodded, pushed open the car door and stepped out.The weather had grown increasingly cold, yet it did not bother him in the least.Lucia was wrapped in a fluffy fur coat, beneath which she still wore the elegant and noble evening gown from the birthday banquet, and she clutched a red Hermès handbag in her hand.A cold gust of wind blew, sending her flowing long hair fluttering in the wind. A few strands of black hair brushed against her cheeks, lending her an air of exquisite charm.There was not a soul or a car in sight, front or back. Lucia faced the wind, took a deep breath, and smiled. I used to love
Chapter 560 A Profound Confession (Part 1)
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
