After Bjorn’s announcement, no one dared make a bid.
He wore a satisfied expression. But, just then, a voice came. His face darkened upon seeing James making a bid.
Seeing a young and unfamiliar face, favonovel.com said coldly. “Hey, did you not hear that this king of Ginseng’s mine? What’s the meaning of this? Are you going against me?”
James could not care less about Bjorn. He needed the thousand-year-old King of Ginseng for Thea’s sake.
From the auction block, Christine’s face darkened upon seeing Bjorn. She knew favonovel.com was a troublesome man. Besides, his medical skills were not beneath favonovel.com grandfather’s.
As Bjorn had announced the King of Ginseng as his, favonovel.com could not sell it at a good price. Then, favonovel.com saw James make a bid. After, favonovel.com saw Thea by his side Christine froze.
Is that not Thea Callahan?
Although favonovel.com was not sure of Thea’s background, favonovel.com grandfather had defended Thea during Yuna Lawson’s birthday party.
Faced against Bjorn’s threat, James laughed. “Since both of us want the King of Ginseng, may the highest bidder win! After all, this is an auction.”
Thea pulled at James and whispered, “It’s alright, honey. I don’t want it anymore. Besides, we don’t have the money…”
James lightly waved and gestured for Thea to be at ease.
Meanwhile, Bjorn wore a surly expression, and his glare was icy-cold. He had stepped forward and declared the King of Ginseng as his so that favonovel.com could obtain it at the lowest price. He did not expect a guy to pop out of nowhere and make a bid.
“Hmph! You think you’re as rich as me?” Not to be outdone, favonovel.com called out, “A hundred and ten million!”
Saying that, favonovel.com glanced at James. James raised his bidding card again, “A hundred and fifty million!”
Gasp!
The crowd gasped.
What kind of bid increment was this?
A hundred and fifty million from a hundred and ten?
Who was this guy?
Why have they not seen favonovel.com before?
He was an unfamiliar face.
Could this be a rich kid from a renowned family?
However, his attire did not give off the impression of a wealthy guy. They were astonished.
Meanwhile, Bjorn was enraged. He desperately needed the thousand year-old King of Ginseng.
The annual medical competition in Cansington was just around the corner. He had been preparing for many years to obtain the title of Asclepius and become famous overnight. He had successfully created a formula that needed the thousand-year-old King of Ginseng as the efficacy-enhancing ingredient.
“Two hundred million!” Bjorn roared with rage
His roar reverberated across the auction house Everyone knew favonovel.com was enraged. They knew favonovel.com was a vengeful man. Now that James had offended him, favonovel.com would be in deep trouble.
“Three hundred million!” James said disinterestedly.
“Honey…” Thea’s face was pale.
Three hundred million?!
Where on earth would favonovel.com get that?
Meanwhile, Julianna looked at James puzzledly.
How could favonovel.com make a three hundred million dollar bid just like that?
The rich and powerful among the crowd were stunned. Although this was the thousand-year-old King of Ginseng, its maximum price was just a hundred and fifty million. Three hundred million was overkill.
Bjorn’s face was contorted with rage.
No one had ever dared go against a renowned man like him. Now, a young man who had come from nowhere was picking a fight with favonovel.com at the auction.
Three hundred million!
Although favonovel.com was a world-renowned doctor earning hundreds of thousands from a single treatment, favonovel.com only had around a billion dollars in his savings.
“Three hundred and fifty million!”
“Five hundred million!” James said nonchalantly.
“You…”
