When Jasmine saw her sweetheart being mocked by Sam, she feltpelled to step in and defend him.


    Meanwhile, Charlie maintained a calm smile as he pulled another Rejuvenating Pill from his pocket. With a chuckle, he dered, “Look! I have plenty of these. There’s no way I would take back the Rejuvenating Pill I gifted to Miss Jasmine. The one I’m auctioning off now is this one!”


    With that, Charlie rose to address the crowd, saying, “I trust everyone here is familiar with the Rejuvenating Pill, so I won’t waste time introducing it. Let’s begin the auction!”


    The guests were taken aback by the announcement that Charlie would actually auction the Rejuvenating Pill. It was a miraculous remedy that was simply unattainable elsewhere. Charlie had never previously agreed to sell it, making this pill priceless.


    All the attendees were affluent individuals, and who wouldn’t want the chance to buy a Rejuvenating Pill to reim their youth? Eagerly, they began to strategize on how they could secure the pill, even if it meant paying a hefty sum.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Turning to Sam, Charlie smiled and said, “Master Kilgore, given the current exchange rate of Chinese dors to US dors is about seven to one, that means your ruby ne is valued at one hundred and forty million dors, correct?”


    Sam, brimming with arrogance, replied, “Looks like you know your math! Yes, that ne is indeed worth one hundred and forty million dors. I bet you’ve never seen such a sum before. Are you scared now?”


    Charlie simply smiled and responded, “Fear has never been a part of my life.” With that, he shifted his focus back to the crowd, stating, “Let me rify the rules of this auction. Since Master Kilgore believes my Rejuvenating Pill isn’t worth more than his ruby ne, I’ll set the starting price at one hundred and fifty million dors.”


    “What?!”


    Sam’s eyes widened in disbelief as he eximed, “Wade! Are you out of your mind? You really think you can sell this ridiculous thing for one hundred and fifty million dors? Do you take us for fools?”


    Before he could finish, Lord Moore raised his hand and dered, “Master Wade, I’m prepared to pay one hundred and fifty million dors!”


    Sam was taken aback by this deration.


    Staring at Lord Moore in shock, he said coldly, “Grandpa Moore, are you really siding with this Wade kid? I came here with genuine intentions to work with the Moore family. If you don’t appreciate my sincerity, don’t expect me to hold back!”


    Lord Moore felt a wave of embarrassment wash over him. His offer wasn’t meant to defend Charlie; he genuinely wanted the Rejuvenating Pill. After all, he had personally experienced its miraculous effects. To him, one pill was never enough. He would dly pay much more than one hundred and fifty million dors—even up to one and a half billion—for it! In fact, he could easily consider buying ten pills at once!


    If one pill cost one and a half billion dors, ten would amount to fifteen billion. This wasn’t a concern for the Moore family. Spending that amount could potentially grant Lord Moore several extra decades of life, making it an undeniably worthwhile investment.


    However, upon hearing Sam’s words, Lord Moore hesitated. He didn’t want to make an enemy of Sam, as that could pose a significant threat to the Moore family.


    Seeing this, Charlie smiled and said, “Lord Moore, to keep the auction fair, I suggest you refrain from participating. This auction is meant for those outside the Moore family, so Master Kilgore doesn’t think you’re ying favorites for my benefit.”


    With no other option, Lord Moore reluctantly replied, “Since Master Wade has requested it, I will withdraw from the auction.”


    Sam’s expression softened slightly at this, reassured that the Moore family knew their boundaries. He thought to himself that aside from the Moore family, no one else would be interested in a pill starting at such a high price.


    Just as he was about to rx, Travis, the wealthiest man in Lancaster, sitting at the same table, suddenly raised his hand excitedly and announced, “Master Wade, with Lord Moore stepping back, I am willing to bid one hundred and fifty million dors!”<fn9cf7> This content belongs to find?novel</fn9cf7>
