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 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 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
