The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family

The first auction for a quarter pill of Rejuvenating Pill caused a huge stir in the ballroom. Everyone scrambled around, losing their minds as they kept bidding.

At this stage, only the strongest was likely to win the quarter pill. The only exceptions were those who intended to compete for the last full Rejuvenating Pill.

In that case, it was better to let the stronger ones win the second quarter pill. Without him, the next two quarter pills behind would most likely drop in price. Or so what many thought.

Thus, many who could afford to continue bidding eventually gave up. They assumed they were the smartest, but they couldn't be more wrong. Many in the hall shared similar thoughts.

As a result, when Todd raised the price to ten billion US dollars, his last competitor gave up and stopped bidding.

His last competitor thought he would be the strongest bidder once Todd was out of the competition. After all, when he began bidding at nine billion earlier, others could no longer follow up with him and withdrew.

With that, he assumed he would have the chance to win the third quarter pill with just nine billion US dollars. That would save him one billion US dollars, right?

Money was no longer truly money in such a n insane auction. Even so, one billion US dollars was a colossal amount. If there was a chance to save it, why shouldn't he take it?

Finally, Jasmine had the chance to announce the bidder's price.

She herself was astonished by the high price of ten billion US dollars. She dried her clammy palms with a tissue before picking up the wooden hammer. Then, she announced, "Number 27 has offered ten billion US dollars. Is there any price higher than this? If there is, please give me a show of hand!"

The hall fell into dead silence.

Jasmine announced with a smile, "Okay. Ten billion US dollars once!"

"Ten billion US dollars twice! This is the second Rejuvenating Pill on auction today. If there's anyone else who would like to bid, please seize your chance now."

No one answered her call.

Jasmine continued, "Ten billion US dollars thrice! It's a deal! Thank you, Number 27.

The second Rejuvenating Pill is now yours!'

Jasmine dropped the hammer and

closed the deal. The young

entrepreneur Todd from Silicon

et

Valley finally won the second quarter pill with just ten billion US dollars. His fears welled up as his emotions burst out of him.

The audience in the hall looked at him, and some recognized him instantly.

Todd was famous not only in Silicon Valley, but also all over the world. He was often recorded by the media worldwide, and was regarded as an outstanding young entrepreneur in the world.

There was a difference between a

et

young entrepreneur and a low-profile rich man. Most low-profile rich men inherited their wealth from their family, and their ancestors might have started accumulating the family wealth from many years ago. Their holdings and assets touched afPwalks of life and spread to all kinds of industries, and the wealth they showed to the world was just the tip of the iceberg.

On the contrary, young entrepreneurs like Todd usually built their wealth from zero. A successful entrepreneur usually grew their worth quickly and could rarely stay low -profile.

Todd wasn't the only one. Even the more successful and richer Elon Musk, Tesla's creator, as well as Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook's creator couldn't hide their wealth from the world.

et

That led to the news of Todd's injury in Switzerland spreading across the globe. It was akin to how Michael Schumacher's skiing injury easily made headlines in the whole world as soon as it broke out. Almost everyone knew about it.

When the audience recognized him, they instantly recalled the major ski accident that gave him paraplegia.

Thus, all of them looked forward to seeing his recovery. They already knew that the pill could cure Parkinson's disease. Could it also cure paraplegia and spinal cord injuries?
