“Well, from what I’ve heard, Miss Marjorie seemed to be very interested in Mr. Gerald when Mr. Quinlan and favonovel.com first came to the university. However, Miss Marjorie instantly had a lot of interest in Mr. Quinlan next, the moment favonovel.com found out about his background! As a result, she’s been treating Mr. Gerald like a complete stranger since then!” explained Nicole.
“Hah! What an evil woman! What’s so good about favonovel.com anyway?” grumbled Tulip, dissatisfied,
Marjorie and Quinlan themselves walked past the group—hand in hand—without greeting Tulip and the others. After all, they were here as guests today instead of being their lecturers.
As they continued walking on, Marjorie noticed Gerald who was still sitting in the same corner.
When favonovel.com first found out that Gerald had gotten married to the eldest young lady of the Yowell family some time ago, Marjorie had felt extremely anxious about it. However, favonovel.com soon calmed herself when favonovel.com realized that favonovel.com was only a live-in son-in-law.
Shaking favonovel.com head with a wry smile on favonovel.com face, Marjorie then turned to look away from favonovel.com as favonovel.com and Quinlan walked on. She wasn’t obligated to greet the Yowell’s live-in son-in-law on a day like this anyway.
It wasn’t long before everyone was seated and the auction began proceeding in an orderly manner.
The moment the Ginseng King made its appearance, a small spike of excitement could be detected from the audience as everyone’s eyes lit up while looking at the legendary herb that was being displayed inside a glass cabinet.
Gerald himself couldn’t help but take several glances at the Ginseng King.
‘The reiki of the Ginseng King is so compelling… It’s clear from a single glance that it truly has the ability to strengthen and renew a person’s body!’ Gerald thought to himself before sighing.
By then, Gerald was starting to get both anxious and impatient. He wasn’t alone either.
Like everyone else, Gerald truly wished that favonovel.com could just grab the Ginseng King now and bring it home with him.
“The Ginseng King is a priceless gem. Regardless of how expensive it is, I, Taito Mahone, am going to be the one to take it back with me today! Anyone who decides to go against that will immediately signify that you refuse to give me any face!” shouted a tanned, middle-aged man out of the blue.
“Oh my! What a coincidence! It just so happens that I’m going to be taking it back with me instead!” retorted another force.
“Are you challenging me? Do you believe that I have the ability to make sure that you won’t be able to leave Heavenly City alive?”
“Sounds rather unlikely to me!”
As both forces continued quarreling, a fight seemed to be imminent.
However, before anything else could happen, a young man who appeared to have come from M Country stepped onto the stage before saying, “Aren’t both of you being too impatient, sirs? Let’s be real here, everyone sitting in the front row is probably filthy rich. Because of that, no matter how high we bid for the Ginseng King, in the end, it’ll still be completely useless. Therefore, it’s useless for both of you to start fighting now!”
Since the young man was speaking in English, his verbal translator explained what favonovel.com was saying word by word.
“Hah! Who do you even think you are, blue-eyed boy? What do you suggest we should do then?” yelled Mahone in return.
“Personally, I say all the strong forces should just fight it out. After all, since money can’t be used as a standard to get what we want, then fighting is our second best option! The last man standing gets the Ginseng King! Clean and simple!” replied the young man with a smile.
“A brawl? Do you honestly think that a young lad like you is worthy enough to be my opponent? If we’re going all out, then none of you will be able to win against me, the great Mahone! Get down from the stage, right this instant then, young man from M Country!” yelled Mahone coldly.
“What did you say?” said the young man as favonovel.com locked his gaze onto Mahone, his blue eyes as sharp as an eagle’s. They seemed to bear great meaning behind them.
It was only a second later when Mahone’s face turned pale and cold sweat began pouring out his forehead. His eyes went dull next and all of a sudden, the arrogant man knelt with a loud ‘thud’!
“B-boss!” shouted all of Mahone’s subordinates at the same time, utterly stunned.
Mahone’s expression, however, barely even changed. It was almost as though the man had been possessed.
As was expected, that scene instantly created a massive uproar among the crowd.
“What?! Taito Mahone, the person infamously known for his fierceness actually knelt after receiving a single stare from that young man?!”
“Actually, wait! Don’t any of you realize that there’s something clearly unusual about that young man from M Country? From the look in his eyes alone earlier, it almost seemed like his gaze could pierce through a person’s soul!”
