Fifty billion! In spite of his simple clothing, there’s fifty billion in his card. Even the wealthiest families inNebula City cannot afford fifty billion with such case. Who on earth is this man?
The female staff returned the card to Alex with a terrified look painted across her face. She couldn’teven muster the courage to meet his gaze.
“There is indeed one hundred million in this man’s card,” she said to the crowd.
When he heard this, David’s blood boiled in anger. I can’t wrap my head around this. How can a pieceof trash like him get his hands on so much money? Isn’t he just a pathetic live-in son-in-law?
Alex asked the auctioneer. “Since there’s no one else bidding for it, my bid is the highest. Thissnapdragon belongs to me now, right?”
In haste, the auctioneer declared, “This one hundred and fifty-year-old snapdragon now belongs to-
“Hang on! I’m going to raise the bid!” David cried out before she could finish her sentence.
David’s words sent the crowd into an uproar.
Even after the price has reached one hundred million, is he going to raise it even more? Thissnapdragon herb isn’t even worth such a sum. Have these two men gone insane?
“Mr. Zucker, you will be suffering a huge loss if you purchase it for one hundred million. Why don’t youuse this money on something else?” Callum suggested hurriedly.novelbin
“How are you going to develop your new medicine if I don’t get it? What about my condition?” Davidretorted.
In the midst of their conversation, a balding middle-aged man hurried over. “Mr. Leighton, I apologizefor late arrival. We have just received the test results from the lab.”

This man was Leighton Pharmaceutical’s chief pharmacist. He’d just rushed over from the lab becausehe was helping Callum study the snapdragon.
“Prof. Klein, you came at the right time. Look at the snapdragon that the auctioneer has in her grasps.Is it worth one hundred million?” Callum asked in a hurry.
“One hundred million?” Donald shook his head. “Not at all. Although snapdragon herbs are rare, onlyan idiot would be foolish enough to purchase it for one hundred million.”
“What about Mr. Zucker’s condition?” Callum asked.
“Truthfully, snapdragon is not a key ingredient. We just need to find other hundred-year-old herbs andpurify them to replace it. After all, there are other herbs on the market that share the same propertiesas snapdragons,” Donald replied confidently.
“Mr. Zucker, please state your price. If you don’t do so, it will be difficult for us to proceed with theauction,” the auctioneer said to David.
After David listened to Donald’s explanation, he came to a final decision. I won’t be an idiot. Let’s givethis bid

David shook his head. “I won’t be adding any more. Only a fool would spend a hundred million for this.herb.”
Promptly, everyone in the crowd booed at him.
It’s clear that he can’t bear the expense. Isn’t he just bitter that he can’t afford it? Earlier, he waspractically dying to get his hands on it.
Faced with the onslaught of jeering from the large crowd, David felt a stab of annoyance and irritation.Yet, he was too afraid to unleash his anger and merely hung his head in silence.
They must be ridiculing me for not having enough money. Nonetheless, it’s not worth salvaging mypride at the cost of millions.
The auctioneer spoke again. “One hundred million going once, going twice, sold! Congratulations, Mr.Jefferson.”
Alex nodded his head in satisfaction before he turned to David. “Here’s a friendly reminder about yourerectile dysfunction. It won’t be cured no matter how many treatments you try. It’s best if you give upnow,” Alex remarked with a smirk.
