Neera understood clearly. “No matter how precious the medicinal material is, only someone knowledgeable willbe able to appreciate its value. These rare and valuable medicinal materials will surely be in high demand today.”
“Indeed. The daily auction sales at this place are astronomical, not much less than those of jewels and antiques,”Avery replied with a chuckle.
The seats in the hall gradually filled up as the pair were talking. At eight o'clock, the auction officiallycommenced.
Everyone watched eagerly as the beautiful host gracefully made her way forward, dressed elegantly in a form-fitting gown. “A warm welcome to all our esteemed guests! Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedulesto attend our auction. The items in today's auction are a feast for the eyes, each a gem among gems. We believeyou won't be disappointed.”
The auction began soon after the opening remarks. As usual, the auctioneer started by listing all the items up forauction that day.
Neera's excitement was palpable, and her eyes were wide. She did not shift her gaze as she listened closely to thenames of the medicinal materials that were announced.
The longer she listened, the more excited she became. Her eyes shone as though there were stars in them.
Almost all those medicinal materials were ones she had come across in ancient medical books but had never seenwith her own eyes. Their rarity surprised even her, someone who had encountered many rare medicinal materials.Who would've thought there'd be such a wonderful place in this world?
Meanwhile, Avery showed no interest in the auction at all. His attention was focused entirely on the woman next
to him, and he could not help but chuckle at how excited she looked. “It appears there are medicinal materialshere that you want. No need to hold back. Feel free to bid if you want them.”
She swallowed hard, badly wanting to bid. However, the thought that the medicinal materials could cost millions,if not tens of millions, each left her at a loss, unsure whether she should bid. I didn't think much of it when hementioned the astronomical amount of sales here in a night, but I get it now. The prices are sure to be sky-high!Only the crazy rich can possibly afford to spend like this.
Comprehension dawned on him when he noticed her hesitation. Having brought her there to cheer her up,naturally, he was determined to try his best and do that.
Hence, he promptly raised his bid paddle, competing with the other bidders without hesitation and continuouslyraising his bid. In the blink of an eye, he bought three items in succession.
“If you like, I can buy all the medicinal materials available tonight so you can use them in the future,” he said.
She had not expected him to splurge on her and quickly tried to stop him. “Oh, no. You don't have to do that. Ithought you were buying them for yourself. However, if they're for me, that won't be necessary.”
He raised an eyebrow. “Why do you say so? These things are of no use to me. It's better to give them to you. Onlythen can these medicinal materials prove their worth and save people's lives.”
Neera suddenly felt her head throb slightly. She insisted, “There's really no need for that.”
Taking in the situation, Avery decided to settle for the next best alternative. “All right, then. You can choosewhichever you want.” novelbin
She was speechless. After a brief hesitation, she finally said, “You don't have to mind me. If I see something Iwant, I can pay for it myself. I appreciate your kindness, but there's no need for you to spend money on me.”
The reason Neera had yet to place a bid was not because she was worried about the cost but because she wascontemplating whether she would use a particular medicinal material. If I'm not going to use it, it'll be a waste if Ibuy it. It's better to leave it for those who need it.
Seeing that she was adamant, he did not press the matter further. Instead, he nodded and replied, “Okay. As youwish.”
After that, she kept her attention on the auction stage. She had her eye on two medicinal materials andsuccessfully bid for them. One was ember leaf while the other was ice vine, both of which were extremelybeneficial for Jean's condition.
Due to how valuable they were, they were sold at hefty prices and cost her over sixty million.
Naturally, the large sum drew quite a few glances, and it was not long before someone recognized Avery. Uponnoticing the woman by his side, they immediately thought she was his fiancée, the new heir of the Gordon family.
“So, they're really a couple, huh? I guess this is confirmation, right?” someone remarked.
“Tsk, tsk. Mr. Cox is willing to spend such an extravagant sum on his fiancée. How generous of him,” commentedanother.
“Who would've thought the new heir of the Gordon family would be so beautiful? She already holds a highposition at a young age and is even going to marry into the Cox family. She's truly living the dream.”
