The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family



They felt like they would inevitably go home empty-handed if they didn't seize the opportunity to win the final quarter pill. They were fully aware that the last full pill's price wouldn't be any lower than sixty or seventy billion US dollars.

If they did the math and calculated the price, a quarter pill would be less than twenty billion US dollars. The problem was, paying sixty to seventy billion US dollars was beyond the abilities of many.

On top of that, the rules forbade them from joint bidding. Those with insufficient funds would have to give up and try for the quarter pill instead. While the last quarter pill might be more expensive, they had no choice but to accept the facts and trudge on. Those who came to join the auction for the Rejuvenating Pill had their reasons, with most of them either very old or ill, or were suffering from terminal illnesses.

Once one entered the state of counting their remaining days left in life, money would eventually become less important.

At last, the fourth quarter pill rose to twenty-two billion US dollars. The price shocked everyone.

No one expected the same item sold for two billion US dollars would quickly rise to twenty-two billion US dollars when sold at the fourth round.

There were still people who could bid with a higher price, but all of them were suffering.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

They had a strong desire for the Rejuvenating Pill because of health reasons, but they just couldn't accept the tenfold difference in price.

While they struggled, the fourth quarter pill's price rose rapidly and became close to twenty-five billion US dollars.

Now, the price of the quarter pill was more than tenfold compared to the first quarter pill sold. The amount was so staggering, many were demotivated and chose to give u p. Only two men remained, both fighting for the pill.

These two, without exception, were terminal cancer patients nearing the late stages.

One was a British billionaire who had been suffering from liver cancer for years. The cancer cells had spread throughout his body. After multiple rounds of radiotherapy and chemotherapy, the doctor declared that he had less than half a year left to live.

The other was a renowned Korean

billionaire named Lee. He was diagnosed with stomach cancer years ago. He struggled and fought the cancer as best as he could, but the metastases still occurred. Soon, his body developed resistance to the targeted drugs. He could only do palliative therapy, and only had a few months left to live.

To these two, money was no longer the most important.

They kept bidding, pushing the price higher and higher. At last, the British billionaire pushed the price to thirty billion US dollars.

The price was now fifteen times higher than the price of the first quarter pill sold.

He was left with no other choice. If he lost this Rejuvenating Pill, he wouldn't be able to survive until the auction next year.

At this moment, everyone finally understood it. The Rejuvenating Pill auction was, in a way, a rich man's game with deadly stakes.

The auction gathered the wealthiest man with not much time left in life, or those suffering from tormenting diseases.

The auction then presented them a slim chance to live by showing them the pill's effectiveness that gave them a message:' Even if you can't find a way to redeem your life, you can have your final chance here!'

However, the slim chance provided was much too slim. Those yearning to be saved would have to go all out and defeat their competitors.

To emerge victorious against their competitors, one must be willing to sacrifice their wealth. The one who was willing to pay more would win!

It was cruel, but the rich were left with no other choice. For them to continue clinging to life, they had no other hope!
