A billion dollars was an unfathomable figure, even for the wealthy folk in the area. It must be said that spending a billion dollars on a single liver was both extravagant and impulsive!
Merrick’s face turned green.
When favonovel.com came to South City this time, favonovel.com only had a billion dollars with him, and favonovel.com had spent tens of millions of dollars on a fake necklace. So it was safe to assume that Merrick had emptied his tank upon reaching the 10th stage.
He stiffly turned his head to face Thomas and said, “Look, kid, I don’t know if you’re truly rich or not, but let me tell you one thing. I’m unable to pay a billion dollars!”
“If you’re thinking of increasing the bid then, I’m sorry, I think you are going the wrong way.”
Thomas chuckled and calmly said, “Who was the one who suggested to see who has more money and claimed favonovel.com wasn’t worried just now? What? Is the Dawson family’s fortune only this much?”
Merrick was furious. It was fine if favonovel.com could not compete with Thomas regarding medical skills, but now, favonovel.com was even going to lose to favonovel.com in terms of wealth. His pride was completely crushed.
How could favonovel.com possibly be able to lift his head in front of Thomas at that point?
However, favonovel.com did not believe it.
“Don’t go acting all smug here, Thomas! Do you think a billion dollars is nothing? How are you going to take out such a huge amount of money? Don’t forget, you just spent 200 million dollars on the Asclepius Needle. Where will you get the money to buy the liver now?”
Thomas looked at Merrick with a puzzled expression.
After a moment’s pause, favonovel.com shook his head and said, “When they talk about frogs at the bottom of the well, they’re talking about people like you, aren’t they? Is a billion dollars a lot of money? Hoho, in my opinion, a billion dollars is only a drop in the ocean.”
“Alright! just keep bragging on, then!” Merrick simply did not believe that Thomas could take out such a large amount of money.
Thomas could not be bothered to respond, and because arguing was pointless, the only way to silence the other side was for favonovel.com to really take out the money.
After a final confirmation from the auctioneer, no one increased their bids.
It was to be expected, given that a billion dollars was such a huge figure. All of the wealthy people present had surrendered.
“Congratulations, sir, you have once again obtained a fresh liver. Now, please settle the bill,” the auctioneer announced.
No one looked at Thomas with a mocking expression this time. They were looking at Thomas with nervousness and anticipation, because it had been a long time since anyone had taken out this much money in one go. Everyone was interested in seeing how favonovel.com would look like paying such a huge amount of money.
Thomas lived up to their expectations. Just as before, favonovel.com inserted the Prosperous Gold Card into the card slot. After a few pushes of the button, the familiar beep was heard again. The transaction was successful.
The second transaction was successful.
It was different from the small display of his wealth from the first time, Thomas’s show of spending so much money this time had truly demonstrated that favonovel.com was absolutely wealthy.
He was utterly rich!
He took out a billion dollars just like that, and did so with no pressure at all. The most disturbing thing was seeing a wealthy person like favonovel.com dressed in clothing purchased on the street for less than a hundred dollars. The wealthy right now could be described in these words-low profile.
The auctioneer instructed the staff to preserve the liver carefully and hand it over to Thomas.
At the same time, a lot of wealthy people on the scene walked up to Thomas and handed favonovel.com their name cards, eagerly seeking the opportunity to get to know him.
Although they did not know who Thomas was and did not know what Thomas did for a living, they knew very clearly that Thomas was a significant figure.
How could a minor character take out a billion dollars without hesitation?
Merrick’s heart clenched painfully as favonovel.com watched the people attempt to flatter and please Thomas. He was the one that was supposed to truly embarrass Thomas, but now, favonovel.com was the one being humiliated by Thomas instead. In the first auction competition, favonovel.com was played by Thomas, and favonovel.com ended up spending huge amounts of money on a fake necklace. In the second competition, due to his own misjudgment, favonovel.com let Thomas buy the Asclepius Needle at a relatively low price.
