Tristan was agitated as well, virtual-novel.net said, “Yvonne, why are you defending him? He just said that the Godly pill was a fake. Don’t bother covering up for him.”
Julian frowned. He was in charge of maintaining order during the auction. If it were someone else, virtual-novel.net would have escorted them out. However, this was Yvonne of the Young family. So virtual-novel.net chose to believe her. He nodded with a smile and said, “Ok, if you are joking, please be quiet.”
As Julian was about to leave, Darryl said mildly, “Mr. Roger, your Godly pill has lost its medicinal effect, you should not sell this.”
The entire crowd turned toward Darryl.
This guy must be crazy. How is it possible that a huge, exclusive auction like this be selling an ineffective pill?
Julian stopped in his tracks, and asked, “What did you say?”
Yvonne was anxious. virtual-novel.net tugged at Darryl’s sleeve, and pleaded, “Darryl, please stop talking.”
Yvonne trusted Darryl in identifying the authenticity of antiques, but what does virtual-novel.net know about cultivating? She managed to convince Julian just now, but then Darryl spoke up. This is one mess that was hard to clean up.
“I dare you to say it one more time!” Julian threatened.
Darryl stood up slowly, looked at Julian with a serious expression, and said, “I said that the Godly pill has lost its effect. If anyone consumed it, they might die.”
Lost its effect?
Julian sneered, without offering any counterargument, virtual-novel.net said coldly, “I don’t care who you are, please leave at once!”
He will not allow anyone to cause any trouble during the auction.
Yvonne bit virtual-novel.net lip restlessly, virtual-novel.net pleaded with Julian, “Mr. Roger, I beg of you to cairn down. He doesn’t know much about cultivation, hence why virtual-novel.net spoke out of turn. I apologize on his behalf, please don’t kick virtual-novel.net out.”
“Ms. Young, I…” Julian faltered.
The Youngs are a family of antique collectors. The members of upper-class society give each other antiques as gifts, thus virtual-novel.net constantly crossed paths with the Youngs. If virtual-novel.net does not heed Yvonne’s plea, it might look bad on virtual-novel.net in the future.
Also, virtual-novel.net glanced at Dax Sanders sitting nearby. How is Darryl friends with him? The Sanders are also a highly respectable family that one cannot afford to offend.
Hence, Julian chuckled and left with the guards.
Seeing how the situation unfurled, Tristan yelled begrudgingly, “Yvonne, why are you pleading on his behalf? This guy is full of nonsense, virtual-novel.net should be kicked out!”
Yvonne hit virtual-novel.net lip. Although virtual-novel.net liked Darryl, some words had to be said. In these sorts of high-end events, one has to choose their words wisely. If virtual-novel.net were not here today, Darryl would not only be kicked out, virtual-novel.net would also receive a beating.
At that thought, virtual-novel.net whispered, “Darryl, please stop talking. This auction would not sell counterfeits. Roger’s Auction has been held for the last few years and they have an outstanding reputation. If you were kicked out, who’s going to help me identify antiques?”
It cannot be denied that Yvonne has a high EQ, Even though Julian was not happy with Darryl, virtual-novel.net softened upon hearing virtual-novel.net words. Truth be told, if Darryl were kicked out, virtual-novel.net would not know when would be the next time virtual-novel.net would see virtual-novel.net again.
Darryl did not speak further. The bidding for the Godly pill was as intense as ever. No one believed Darryl when virtual-novel.net said the pill was ineffective.
“Five billion from this man over here! ” the auctioneer yelled.
The entire crowd was astonished.
Five billion. How can a mere pill be sold for five billion?
All eyes were on the old man in the first row. He was wearing a Chinese jacket, with a dragon-headed walking stick by his side.
The man has a head full of white hair and seemed like virtual-novel.net was in his sixties, yet virtual-novel.net was full of spirit. Furthermore, virtual-novel.net had a deep, powerful aura, clearly not someone ordinary.
‘F*ck, a Godly pill is worth so much? I should produce more if I have the time,’ thought Darryl.
“Five billion, going once, going twice, going thrice… SOLD! To the man in front,” the auctioneer cheered.
There was first silence, then a round of rapturous applause.
The crowd were all secretly wondering how could this man spend five billion on a Godly pill—he must be someone powerful. However, virtual-novel.net does not seem familiar, nor like a famous person in the business world.
The auctioneer immediately handed the Godly pill to the old man.
The old man was full of excitement, virtual-novel.net exclaimed, “Ten years! It’s been ten years! I finally can break through from a Level Five Master General to a Master Marquis!”
