Chapter 1204
“270 million!”“280 million!”“290 million!”Graham immediately raised his hand again and shouted, “300 million!”The bidding was proceeding intensely. Someone would raise the price as soon as the other person finished his bidding.They increased the bidding price of 10 million at a time continuously in order to grab the Rejuvenating Pill.Soon, the whole scene had become very lively and chaotic. Even people with a net worth of only about 1 billion joined in the bandwagon and increased the bidding price because everyone knew that money was valuable, but longevity was even more expensive.Dylan felt that every time someone bid a price, it was a slap to his face.He had never been so embarrassed in his life.However, this was just the beginning.He was in a deep mess now, and he was wondering how he would walk out of here without embarrassing himself further.Did he really have to swallow the ruby necklace?At this moment, the bid was still ongoing, and it was very happening.
Chapter 1205
After Zeke bid 1.1 billion, Graham felt that he should raise the bar too, otherwise, he would lose this precious chance to obtain the Rejuvenating Pill. Thus, he gritted his teeth and said, “Since Mr. White has already bid 1.1 billion, I offer 1.2 billion.”Travis didn’t mind the competition though. He was richer than Graham and Zeke combined, hence, it didn’t make much difference to him even if it was 1.2 or 1.5 billion. He was determined to win the Rejuvenating Pill, so he said flatly, “If so, I’ll go straight to 2 billion.”The hall was rocked by the echoing sound of the audiences’ gawking.The auction price had increased from 1.2 billion to 2 billion! This was simply the most incredible and the most expensive auction anyone had ever seen.What was it like to have 2 billion dollars? If your monthly allowance was 10 million, you would have the same amount of allowance every month for 17 years.If you deposited 2 billion into the bank with an annual interest rate of 5%, your annu
Chapter 1206
Travis didn’t dare to take the Rejuvenating Pill and hurriedly said, “Master Wade, I haven’t paid the money yet, so I won’t dare to take the pill from you. I’ll call my company’s financial department and transfer the money to your account right away.”Charlie nodded with a smile. He then took out his card and passed it to Travis. “This is my card, please transfer the money into this account.”Dylan was taken aback when he glimpsed the card. That was the exclusive black card of Citibank, wasn’t it?!There were no more than five people in the country who owned that card.Moreover, Citibank provided very strong privacy protection for their exclusive black card members. Who was this Charlie and where had he come from? How could he have this card?!At this moment, Charlie suddenly looked at Dylan and said with a coy smile, “Mr. Koch, your necklace is worth 20 million dollars while my Rejuvenating Pill is worth 2 billion. You don’t need me to tell you whose item is more expensive, right
Chapter 1207
Dylan was extremely regretful right now. He shouldn’t have proposed such a stupid bet with Charlie to see who had the more expensive gift.Now, he actually had to do a performance where he would swallow a ruby necklace. He had to pay a double cost!Isaac was still staring at him, so he didn’t dare to bluff his way out of it. Hence, he ground his teeth and blurted, “Okay, I, Dylan Koch, am willing to admit defeat!”He looked at Jasmine and said in a rather remorseful tone, “Miss Jasmine, please lend me the ruby necklace.”Jasmine frowned in great dismay when she heard his request.‘What do you mean by lending it to you? Will you give it back to me after using it?’Feeling disgusted and irritated, she hurriedly handed the gift box to him and said in a very serious tone, “Mr. Koch, you can keep the present.”It was then that Dylan realized that he had misspoken. He had to swallow the ruby necklace, which meant the only way the necklace could come out of his body was by pooping it o
Chapter 1208
At this moment, Dylan’s first thought was to induce vomiting for him to spit out the necklace.Spitting it out was better than pooping it, right?Oscar hurriedly said, “Mr. Koch, I’ll take you to the washroom. This way please.”Dylan stood up immediately and followed Oscar.When he was in the washroom, he dug deep into his mouth desperately and kept vomiting, triggering a series of nausea and gag reflexes.There were a few times when he could feel the necklace reaching his throat, but he couldn’t vomit it out.He tried several times until his face flushed and even turned purple, but in the end, he was forced to give up as he felt an intense pain coming from his throat and esophagus, and soon, he had lost the strength to induce vomiting.He shuddered in disgust again when he imagined the fact that he had to poop the thing out of his anus in days to come. He even wondered if the necklace would get stuck in his intestines.Frightened, he immediately took out his phone and called h
Chapter 1209
At this moment, the pilot of Dylan’s private jet was preparing to line up for takeoff at Aurous Airport.When he received Dylan’s call, he said, “Young Master, I am at the airport right now, ready to take-off.”Dylan blurted, “Hurry, inform the tower to postpone the take-off and then drive the plane back to the business jet hangar. Wait for me, I’ll return to Eastcliff tonight.”The pilot asked in surprise, “But you just came here this morning. Didn’t you say that you were going to stay for a few days? Why do you want to go back so suddenly?”Dylan said anxiously, “It’s none of your business. Wait for me at the airport hangar, I’ll go to the airport right now.”The pilot quickly said, “Okay, Young Master. I’ll request the tower to cancel my take-off now.”When Dylan finally emerged with a grumpy face, Oscar, who was waiting by the washroom door, greeted him graciously, “Mr. Koch, how do you feel?”“Not good!” Dylan snorted, “Tell your master I’m returning to Eastcliff now.”Osc
Chapter 1210
Lord Moore had perceived Dylan’s real intention of visiting Aurous Hill this time.Dylan must have been captivated by his granddaughter’s beauty and charm so much so that he wanted to draw the Moore family to the Koch family’s side and ultimately make them their lackeys. At the same time, he would seduce his granddaughter as his companion.If this had happened back then, he would not refuse his olive branch even though he had seen through all their plans, be it favorable or hostile. After all, such good opportunities did not happen very often. So many families in the South Region were eager to become the lackeys and underlings for the big families in Eastcliff, but these big families looked down upon them, and some even despised them.There were many reclusive rich families in Eastcliff that their fortune was beyond the imagination of the second-rate families in the South Region.The Wade family of Eastcliff was the best example in this case. No one from the Wade family had made
Chapter 1211
Reuben was gravely distraught now. Never did he expect that his grandfather would still curry favor with Charlie even if he had to offend Dylan during the process.Reuben was not a fool. He could see that the reason why his grandfather took Charlie so seriously was that he was a little addicted to the Rejuvenating Pill.In other words, instead of gripping the olive branch that Dylan and the Koch family had tossed at them, his grandfather would rather get on good terms with Charlie. This proved that the old man no longer cared about the future of the family nor the wealth they could generate, but rather how many more years he could live.Otherwise, he would never have given up the Koch family’s offer and chosen Charlie.This made Reuben extremely disappointed and upset.First of all, Lord Moore had given up the opportunity offered by the Koch family, and this meant that the Moore family had lost a good chance to rise above and beyond.Secondly, if Lord Moore was given another Re
