Initially, Dylan thought that he would be the ultimate winner. He was absolutely certain that no one would b e willing to buy this so-called Rejuvenating Pill for 150 million dollars, but he was terribly wrong. He didn’t expect Travis Lane to give him a slap to the face with his actions.
He turned and glanced at Travis, astoundment and shock written all over his face as he asked, "Mr. Lane, what do you mean?" 5
Travis knew that Dylan came from an impressive background, but the Rejuvenating Pill was too tempting for him to own even if he had to offend the Koch family by doing so. 1
Who would miss this precious chance of getting younger by 20 years old?! i
Even the Gods could not stop Travis from bidding for the pill, let alone a mere Dylan Koch.
He looked back at Dylan and said flatly, "I'm sorry, Mr. Koch. I've longed for Master Wade’s miraculous Rejuvenating Pill for a long time. Now that the precious chance is right in front of my eyes, I cannot let it slip from my hand. Please forgive me if I offend you in any way!"
Dylan's face twisted into a scornful grimace because h e knew that he had already lost to Charlie due to
Travis’s bidding.
Losing to Charlie not only meant that he was humiliating himself in front of so many people but also, he had to succumb to the betting and swallow the ruby necklace in front of the audience.
Just when he was feeling frustrated and thought that Travis had deliberately gone up against him, someone at the table next to him shouted, "I offer 151 million dollars!" 7
Someone had actually offered one million dollars more than Travis's price! It was as clear as the sky that it had become a bidding session.
Charlie smiled and said, "Sir, I forgot to mention that the starting price is 150 million, and the minimum price increase is 10 million. We don’t do 1 million increments, it’s too petty and boring." 5
The man quickly nodded and blurted, "Oh, I'm sorry, Master Wade. If so, I'll offer 160 million!"
’’F*ck!" Dylan was so shocked, his jaw almost dropped t o the ground.
The starting price for this shitty little pill was 150 million, and not only did someone actually agree to it, but there was someone else who even bid a higher price! What were they thinking?!
Before Dylan could come back to his senses, someone at another table stood up and said eagerly, "I offer 170 million!" 7
Dylan's expression was nastier than a person who had literally eaten shit. He couldn't help but curse in his mind, 'D*mn it! Are there people this f*cking crazy?!' s
