The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family



The last full pill was the finale of the entire auction which everyone looked forward to.

While many of them couldn't compete for the last Rejuvenating Pill, they wanted to see who had the power and strength to rise as the winner. They also wanted to know the potential miraculous effects of a full pill.

The staff soon brought the full pill on stage. Jasmine gestured at it and announced with a smile, 'The last full pill for the Rejuvenating Pill will start bidding at ten billion US dollars. Every bid has to be at least a hundred billion US dollars higher. Those who are interested may start bidding!"

As soon as Jasmine finished her sentence, Bernard raised his hand and made his bid a t once.

"I will place a bid of fifty billion!"

Bernard knew the final price would be at least a dozen billion, particularly when the last quarter pill was already sold for thirtyeight billion and two hundred million US dollars. As such, he immediately raised the price as a warm-up.

Jordan had waited the whole night for the full pill to be on auction. He immediately countered, "I offer sixty billion!"Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

Bernard turned back and glanced at his competitor. Bernard was a billionaire who specialized in the luxury goods market in Europe. Most of his assets and businesses were in Europe as well. He didn't recognize Jordan, who was a low-profile rich man from North America.

When he saw the old man making a bid of sixty billion US dollars, he refused to back down and promptly followed up with, "I offer sixty billion and twenty million US dollars!"

Jordan, however, thought Bernard would compete for the bid with him by raising the price by ten billion each round. He didn't expect Bernard to be such a disappointment.

Grinning slightly, he raised his hand again. "I'll round it up to seventy billion!"

Bernard gritted his teeth and clenched his hand into a frustrated first. He raised his other hand and hollered, "Seventy billion and two hundred million!" Jordan was going strong as well. He immediately countered, "I'll round it up again to eighty billion!"

Jordan only made three bids so far, but it almost pushed Bernard to his limit.

Bernard could only afford around eighty to ny billion US dollars at most. Jordan's bidding was fierce and unrelenting. If Jordan continued to round it up to ny billion, Bernard would not be able to continue bidding!

Jordan's action made Bernard

nervous and puzzled. He couldn't understand Jordan's action at all and pondered silently, 'Who's this old Oskian guy? How can he offer his sixty billion, seventy billion, and eighty billion bid so calmly?! Does he have that much money?! That can't be! Why haven't I heard of him at all?!"

While Bernard was confused, Jasmine asked, "Number 35 has made an offer of eighty billion. Is there a higher bid?"

Bernard was hit by a sudden pang of

uncertainty. He couldn't tell if

elmet

Number 35 was seriously rich, or was simply putting up a front. If Number 35 was just faking it,

Number 35 might not be able to pay later. Then, the Rejuvenating Pill would go to him.

However, he knew he mustn't pin his hopes on such a flimsy assumption. What i f Number 35 could pay? His plans would be ruined!

While he hesitated, wondering whether he should continue to bid, a middle-aged man in the crowd raised his hand. "I offer a bid of ny billion!" Everyone immediately turned to voice. The new bidder was none other than Number 9 9, Carlson Hobbs.

When Jordan saw Carlson join the bidding, his heart jumped and anxiety stabbed him. He was shocked. 'I thought Carlson only came to see the pill's effectiveness. I didn't expect him to join the bidding!'

Carlson noticed Jordan's gaze. As their eyes met, Carlson put his hand together, showing his most sincere apology.

Jordan understood his gesture. Carlson was apologizing for competing with him. Instantly, Jordan was heartbroken. He knew if Carlson began to bid, he would have no chance to win.

Then again, he was an elder to Carlson. Thinking that he could use that to his advantage, he bowed to Carlson, signaling the man a clear message with a pleading gaze.

Jordan was already in his nies, and was nearing his death. He hoped Carlson would relent and give him a chance as a favor.

Thus, Jordan raised his hand and announced, "I offer a hundred billion!"

Carlson raised his hand right after Jordan made an offer and said calmly, "One hundred and ten billion."

The whole hall was in chaos. There

et

were plenty of billionaires with a worth of more than one hundred billion on the Forbes list, but there were even more who weren't on the list. However, not many actually held a hundred billion US dollars n cash.
