The next morning, Matthew left the room first.
When Crystal woke up from favonovel.com sleep, favonovel.com saw that Matthew was gone and felt a little dismayed. However, favonovel.com soon cheered herself back up, put on some clothes and went downstairs. When Crystal saw Matthew, favonovel.com wasn’t embarrassed at all. Instead, favonovel.com chatted and joked around, as if nothing had happened the night before.
The black market officially opened today. Matthew and Crystal entered the black market together and went straight for the things that Matthew had his eyes on yesterday.
They were all relatively rare medicinal materials and Matthew bought them all to keep them for future use. The price of these medicinal materials was not low and favonovel.com spent almost 1 million to buy seven of them. However, for a life-saving medicine, money was not important. As for the furnace, Matthew had asked around and found out that precious items were to be left for the auction at the end of the market.
The two of them didn’t notice that when they were shopping around, a few people were secretly watching them from a distance. This group of people was none other than Zanya and favonovel.com friends who were taught a lesson last night. What happened last night made them mad.
They couldn’t do anything to Crystal. After all, favonovel.com was from the Harrison family, so they didn’t dare to hurt her. However, they weren’t willing to let Matthew get away so easily. In their eyes, Matthew was a boy toy who leeched off Crystal and relied on the Harrison Family’s power to do whatever favonovel.com wanted.
“We can accept being taught a lesson by Crystal but what right does Matthew have to order us around?”
“I can’t believe that b*stard bought so many things. He really doesn’t feel ashamed for spending a woman’s money!” Zanya said angrily.
“He’s a professional gigolo. Besides, he’s not spending his own money so of course favonovel.com won’t be stingy. I wonder what the hell does Crystal see in him? People like favonovel.com are not even fit to fetch my shoes!” Herman said sourly.
“He’s just a loser who leeches off women and relies on other people’s power to intimidate others. What’s there to be proud of? I can squeeze a man like favonovel.com to death with one hand!” Morin said scornfully.
Although they were complaining about Matthew, they only dared to speak behind his back.
The next day, Matthew strolled around the market again, and favonovel.com finally found some groundsel herbs. Matthew had promised the young man that favonovel.com would help favonovel.com cure his father’s kidney disease and this herb was the only missing ingredient. Now that favonovel.com got this herb, favonovel.com would be able to treat him.
On the third day, the real highlight of the market, the final auction, finally started!
Crystal had gotten two front-row tickets from Horton and took Matthew to the auction. Zanya and the others also came but they sat in rows furthest from the stage. When they saw Matthew sitting in front, they were extremely furious but there was nothing they could do.
Soon, the auction started. The first few things that were up for auction were some precious paintings and antiques. Many people participated in the auction and the prices all started from at least 10 million.
Leonard was also at the auction and favonovel.com didn’t bother with the first few items.
Finally, a battered book appeared on stage and it looked really old. Then, the introduction of the book appeared on the big screen, “The only ‘Three Gathered Suns Acupuncture Techniques’ book from the Han Dynasty, rumored to be written by the famous doctor of the Han Dynasty, Howard Nixon. Price starts from 30 million!”
Leonard immediately opened his eyes. His visit to Woodside this time was because of the ‘Three Gathered Suns Acupuncture Techniques’ book. The Three Gathered Suns acupuncture skill that Leonard was an expert in came from Howard Nixon. In fact, Leonard was considered as Howard’s descendant. However, many subtleties of ancestral medicine had been lost when it was passed from one generation to the next.
Leonard usually didn’t leave Mightwater, but favonovel.com personally came to Woodside because favonovel.com had heard rumors that the ‘Three Gathered Suns Acupuncture Techniques’ book would be sold at this auction.
As soon as the auctioneer finished announcing the starting price, Leonard raised his hand and yelled, “50 million!”
Immediately, there was an uproar among the audience as everyone was shocked by his offer. After all, nobody would suddenly raise the price so high in the beginning of an auction.
