Todd’s eyes flowed with thankful tears as h e voiced his gratitude over and over.
"Yes! I can finally get back on my feet again, all thanks to the Rejuvenating Pill!”
Jasmine replied with a small smile, “ Alright. Number 27, please return to your seat now. Our auction will continue."
Todd nodded in a hurry before quickly wiping his tears. Then, he scurried down the stage in excitement.
Everyone watched as Todd walked back to his seat at a relaxed pace. It was an unbelievable sight.
The man’s body was paralyzed starting from the neck. With the exception of his mouth and eyes, he couldn’t move and needed someone to carry him up the stage. But in just a blink of an eye, he could walk o n his legs again and exit off the stage by himself without any help whatsoever. The huge contrast between the before and after gave a strong impact to the astonished audience
More and more regretted not doing their best to win the second Rejuvenating Pill.
On the stage, Jasmine smiled and said, " The Rejuvenating Pill is split into four quarter pills for tonight. Now, half has already been sold. There are two quarter pills left, and finally, a full pill at the end of the auction. Those of you who have missed this auction will have to wait for at least a year for the next auction. Thus, this will be your last three chances to win the bid."
As soon as she said that, those who desired the Rejuvenating Pill grew ever more anxious. Those who knew they couldn't afford to compete for the final full pill were particularly nervous. They knew they only had two chances left!
Immediately after, Jasmine introduced the next auction item. "The next auction item i s quite special. It didn't appear in our auction's information and catalog before. W e deliberately kept it a secret before showing you this special item."
Then, she told the staff to present the item.
The crowd was stunned.
Many Oskians at present had heard of Chandler’s name. They knew Chandler was a real Feng Shui master expert, but they didn't expect Chandler to bid for amulets made by another unknown Feng Shui master. That seemed a little outrageous.
There was also Jeremiah Wade, the head of the Wade family. He didn't bid for anything at all, but now, he suddenly joined the bidding for the amulets. The crowd found his actions incomprehensible.
Despite the crowd's doubts, Chandler and Jeremiah knew full well of the amulets' potential. They were handmade by Charlie, so there must be something unique about them!
Moreover, the starting bid was only going for ten million US dollars. Thus, they figured they should buy it at a cheap price rather than wait.
