The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family



The world was never fair, even in the face o f death.

Many poor people lived in the most desolate areas of Asia, Africa, and Latin America. A glass of unclean water might cause malaria, promptly taking away a young adult's life.

If an ordinary man of the working class was diagnosed with cancer, a good social security system could allow him to live perhaps ten years more.

In the best tumor hospital in the world, some patients could even survive the middle and late stages of cancer and live five years more, or even longer, as compared to an ordinary healthy man.

Those in the auction who were fortunate

enough to win the bidding for the Rejuvenating Pill had a chance to be fully recovered, even if they were diagnosed with mid-stage or late-stage cancer. They could extend their life from a few months to years or decades.

Charlie used this special auction with special rules and forms to show the participants a miraculous medicine never seen before in the world, the Rejuvenating Pill. Little by little, he revealed the appeal of the pill to everyone.

The competition might be cruel, but no one was willing to miss their chance of survival.

They weren't afraid of sacrificing their wealth to win the pill. On the contrary, they were more worried that they had insufficient funds and had no chance to pay.

At this moment, the two who were fighting for the last quarter pill were both terminally ill patients who decided to fight till the last bullet.

Both deeply regretted the fact they didn't recognize the situation early on. They should've been aware of their own abilities. As they were unable to bid for the last pill, they should've have recklessly fought for the first.

Unfortunately, their wrong decision forced both of them to a dead end. It was too late t o turn back time.

The rest in the hall couldn't help but feel envy, jealousy, and hatred for the African tycoon, who had won the bid for the first quarter pill with just two billion US dollars.

From this experience, they soon reached a conclusion. If they had the chance to join the auction next year, they must go all out and quickly win the bid for the first Rejuvenating Pill.

Just then, Lee pushed the price to a new height, bidding an amount of thirty-five billion US dollars.

The British billionaire was close to breaking down. The price was becoming more and more unaffordable to him.

However, giving up meant accepting death. Without a miracle, he would be lying in an exquisitely made coffin and buried in the ground under the witness of relatives, friends, and priests three months later.

Left with no choice, he gritted his teeth and added one hundred million US dollars to the previous bid. He placed a bid of thirty-five billion and one hundred million US dollars.

Lee was on the verge of breaking down as well. He wiped the cold sweat and forced himself to bid for a new price.

"Thirty-five billion and two hundred million US dollars!"

The amount was very close to the limit of his funds. Both men were akin to two gladiators that had been fighting for a long time. Both knew that the other party had one last breath left, so they had to be- cautious and attack little by little until the opponent collapsed.

The two continued the bid for several rounds. Soon, the price had risen to thirtyeight billion US dollars.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

At last, the British billionaire shouted

his bid at thirty-eight billion and one hundred million US dollars. Unfortunately, he couldn't afford to raise the bid anymore. Meanwhile, the Korean billionaire Lee continued to raise the price and placed a bid of thirty-eight billion and two hundred million US dollars.

The British billionaire's face paled, all color drained. He slumped in his seat, dumbfounded and heartbroken. He knew he had lost.

His last bid was at thirty-eight billion and one hundred million US dollars. It was an incredible amount, but with sickness, he had no chance to enjoy the money he had.
