Chapter 1211: Chapter 757: Scramble
In the Great World Auction House of Capital City, despite the auctioneer’s announcent that the entire auction had concluded, the entire grand hall, filled with thousands of top-tier wealthy individuals, remained crowded, and at this mont, everyone’s gaze was intently focused on a stunningly beautiful young girl at the rear of the hall.
Miss Lin Weier from the Lin family received a delicate wooden box from the auctioneer’s hand.
This wooden box was crafted from special purple rosewood, an exceptionally rare material. After undergoing special processing by the Longevity Club, it boasts a very strong sealing capability, ensuring that the dicinal pills inside would be unaffected for up to ten years.
rely the crafting of such a box from special purple rosewood itself had a starting cost no less than one hundred thousand yuan.
Under the reminder of the auctioneer, as Lin Weier, with trembling hands, cautiously opened the wooden box, a miraculously fragrant aroma imdiately spread throughout the entire hall, and the thousands of people inside all felt instantly refreshed and invigorated.
At this mont, under the watchful eyes of everyone, pill number 014 lay silently inside the box.
All dicinal pills from the Longevity Club have special markings, which not only authenticate their authenticity but can even trace who their initial owner was; and pill number 014, the second Longevity Pill, belonged to Zhang Dongdong, one of the three giants of the Longevity Club.
Simply through the markings on the pill and that miraculous fragrance, one could easily discern that this pill was absolutely genuine.
Such a pill, capable of increasing the lifespan of the consur by five to ten years, is considered an extrely rare treasure. Even the most precious ancient paintings and already extinct historical treasures pale in comparison to this tiny pill.
At that mont, everyone in the hall had their eyes riveted on Lin Weier, or more precisely, on the second Longevity Pill in her hand. Each gaze carried a mix of intense shock, excitent, and unmistakable greed.
If looks could kill, Lin Weier would have been slain ten thousand tis over by the gazes in the hall.
“Miss Lin, please confirm that the second Longevity Pill is intact!” the conscientious auctioneer was making the final handover!
At this mont, Lin Weier clenched her teeth tightly, enduring unimaginable pressure. The nurous covetous gazes could have easily overwheld an ordinary person, yet this girl had a resilient spirit. Despite her delicate appearance, her inner self was exceptionally strong. She carefully examined the pill before her, and then nodded firmly towards the auctioneer.
Only then did the auctioneer finally heave a sigh of relief, the handover completed. Henceforth, whatever happened with this pill, it was no longer the responsibility of the Great World Auction House or him as the auctioneer.
As the elderly man in traditional attire turned to leave, he said in a deep voice:
“Miss Lin, a piece of advice for you – innocence breeds care, possession breeds fear!”
With these profound words, the man in traditional attire did not linger, but promptly strode away from this place of conflict.
At this mont, Lin Weier, holding the exquisite wooden box, slightly bowed towards the departing figure of the elderly man as a gesture of gratitude. Then, her focus returned to the dicinal pill in her hand. After taking a gentle breath, Lin Weier carefully closed the lid of the box. Instantly, the pill inside was concealed, and the next mont, the peculiar fragrance that had been floating in the hall was cut off, returning the hall to normalcy.
“Sister…”
This is the gentle call of Lin Linger, the younger sister of the Lin family. At this mont, with her cheeks swollen like a pig’s head, Lin Linger can no longer afford to cry. Despite her mouth and face being sared with fresh blood, and even her teeth loosening a lot, and despite her cheeks being fiery hot, even having lost direction, at this mont, Lin Linger, who seems to have suddenly grown up, didn’t continue to make a fuss but cautiously and nervously held onto her sister’s sleeve.
Even Lin Linger, who has been carefree and only known for causing trouble since childhood, has now felt the thickening atmosphere in the hall.
At this mont, in the entire hall, the gaze of thousands of top-tier wealthy individuals was focused on them, the sisters. Under such imnse pressure, Lin Linger even forgot her own grievances and pain, feeling nothing but endless tension and fear in her heart.
Just then, at the front row of the hall, an extraordinary Caucasian man suddenly stepped forward towards here. The Caucasian man, over 1.9 ters tall, with golden hair and light blue eyes, looked as handso as a prince charming from the movies.
With the strides of this Caucasian man, a burst of whispered discussions suddenly erupted in the hall.
“It’s Charled, the telecommunications magnate from Maple Leaf Country, the third richest man in the world, with a total asset of one trillion and three hundred billion…”
“Charled seems to have deep connections with the Rothschild family of Arica; it’s said that he has the backing of the Rothschild family!”
“This man controls the entire communications industry of Maple Leaf Country, his power is imnse…”
The discussions in the hall continued, and by this ti, the tall handso Caucasian man had already approached the Lin sisters. The blond man, at least a head taller than the 1.65 ters tall Lin Weier, flashed a brilliant smile, then in slightly awkward but understandable Hua Country language, he said:
“Miss Lin… this pill is very important to , I offer you ten billion, sell the pill to , and also, I can fulfill one condition for you, how about it!”
Before Lin Weier could even think of how to refuse, a hearty laughter sounded once again, followed by the previously seen, ticulously grood middle-aged man walking towards them from the front row of the hall.
“Hahaha, Mr. Charled, ten billion, you’re obviously taking advantage of the kids not knowing the market!
A re Longevity Pill No.1 is worth ten billion, then this even more precious Longevity Pill No.2, anything less than fifty billion, it’s almost shaful for you to even quote!”
The middle-aged man with black eyes and hair is clearly from Hua Country, and sitting next to the blond man, naturally, his net worth is also in the trillions, thus he need not fear reprisal from the blond man.
Standing with a potbelly, the middle-aged man also ca in front of the Lin sisters, his face wearing a warm smile, and he said with utmost sincerity:
“Lin Weicai is proud to have you daughters. I am close friends with your father, by seniority, you should call uncle. Since we’re family, I won’t let you suffer loss, a fixed price, fifty billion.
Young Miss Lin, rember, you can’t protect this item. Once you walk out of this auction hall with it, your Lin family will beco the enemy of the entire world. All powerful families will view the Lin family as a delicious piece of fat. So, give the item to your uncle, I guarantee you won’t lose out.”
The potbellied middle-aged man had a brilliant smile, seemingly confident that he was bound to secure the Longevity Pill No.2.
At this mont, in front of everyone, Lin Weier took a deep breath, and then this twenty-year-old girl, being watched by thousands gathered, suddenly revealed a dazzling brilliance in her eyes.
