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 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 550 The Auction (Part 1)
Even Blair at the same table was left tongue-tied in shock!As the richest man in Persian Harbor, his net worth was not far behind that of the Green family.Now that he had entered his senior years, he could distinctly feel that his physical condition had deteriorated significantly compared to his younger days.This was something no amount of money could reverse.So he dreamed of getting his hands on a Rejuvenation Elixir—he would not regret spending one-tenth of his fortune for it, even for a single dose.Because he knew that beyond the Rejuvenation Elixir, not even a billion US dollars could buy him twenty years of his youth back.At this moment, what everyone saw in front of them was no longer money, but something far more precious than wealth.Things like time, youth, health, and longevity.To them, nothing in the world was more desirable than the Rejuvenation Elixir.One pill could instantly turn back the clock by twenty years; even a dying man could regain his health and prolong
Chapter 549 Opening the Gift
Jace frowned and said, Master Alan, what if your gift isn’t more expensive than mine?Alan smiled and replied, If it isn’t, I’ll eat this entire set of tableware right here.At this, Jace burst out laughing and said, This set of tableware is all bone china. What if you can’t finish it?Alan said calmly, If I really lose, I’ll smash this tableware to pieces and swallow every last shard—no exceptions.When Lucia heard this, she hurried to dissuade him: Master Alan, why bother stooping to his level? Even if you gave me a mere scrap of paper, it would be worth a fortune in my eyes.Alan smiled faintly: Miss Lucia, there’s no need to worry. When I do things, I always have absolute confidence.Seeing how fiercely Lucia was defending Alan, Jace seethed with anger inside.Then he slammed his hand on the table, stood up and clapped, saying, Bravo! Truly the bearing of a master. With so many people here today, let them be our witnesses. If the gift you gave Miss Lucia really is more expensive t
Chapter 548 The Bet
Only after thanking Alan did he get around to acknowledging the Third Young Master of the Devinsire family.Seeing that he had been upstaged for the spotlight by some nobody like Alan with an unknown background, the Third Young Master of the Devinsire family was seething with rage.Just then, the head of the Green family finished his speech and asked Lucia to step forward and express her gratitude as well.Elegant and poised, Lucia, just like the head of the Green family, thanked Alan first when addressing the guests.Her big eyes gazed at Alan affectionately as she said earnestly, I’m truly honored and flattered that Master Alan took time out of his busy schedule to attend my birthday banquet.After thanking Alan, Lucia added, Besides expressing my gratitude to Master Alan, I’d also like to thank all the friends who are here today. Thank you for coming to celebrate with me.With that, Lucia bowed to the crowd.The Third Young Master of the Devinsire family was so angry that his nose
Chapter 547 The Banquet Begins (Part 2)
Everyone craned their necks to look into the box, where lay an exquisitely crafted necklace inlaid with a crystal-clear ruby—one almost the size of an egg.Gasps of astonishment escaped many lips on the spot.These were all connoisseurs; they knew a gem of this caliber was priceless.Seeing the crowd stunned by his ruby necklace, the Third Young Master of the Devinsire family smiled triumphantly and said, I’m sure you know this as well, Miss Lucia—rubies are the most precious of all gemstones. Their international market price alone runs into tens of thousands of US dollars per carat. Especially a specimen as flawless as this one—it weighs a full 26 carats. I even commissioned the top master jeweler at Tiffany to personally cut and set this gem. The piece alone is worth over 20 million US dollars. I do hope you like it.Many onlookers were green with envy, their eyes nearly popping out of their sockets.Receiving a 20-million-US-dollar gift for one’s birthday was simply mind-boggling.
