Chapter 3929

Author: Lord Leaf
‘If I can’t bring back the pill, I shouldn’t buy it for myself…’

‘But I’ve finally won it and even offended Sir Jordan for it. To return home empty-handed is just… I can’t accept this!’

While he hesitated and struggled to decide, Jasmine asked again, “Number 99, will you be making the payment?”

Carlson hesitated for a moment and finally decided to put his dignity away. He begged, “I beg you! Please give me a chance and let me have the pill! If one hundred billion US dollars isn’t enough, I’ll top up another fifty billion!”

An additional fifty billion to his existing offer would make it three hundred and seventy billion US dollars in total.

Many in the hall were stunned. They wouldn’t have dreamt of someone who could come up with three hundred seventy billion US dollars in cash! Who was this man?

Carlson knew he could not eat the Rejuvenating Pill himself. Otherwise, he would become a target for the rest.

He only had two choices, and both didn’t look very good. Either he took the

    Bernard was so emotional to hear that, he almost burst into tears there and then. He was eliminated early because of Jordan and Carlson. He didn’t expect that there was still hope left for him.He looked forward to seeing Jordan give up. The Rejuvenating Pill would be his if Jordan gave up purchasing rights. He also hoped Jordan wouldn’t be able to pay so that the pill could become his!On top of that, he wouldn’t have to pay any additional amount. He only needed to pay with the amount he made in his last bid earlier, which was only seventy-two billion US dollars.Thinking that, he changed his opinion on the organizer. Whoever he was, he wasn’t as horrible as Bernard once thought. On the contrary, his actions were reasonable and humane.Jordan had become emotional once more, on his way to a second breakdown. He ended up with a final bid of two hundred and ten billion earlier because of Carlson’s persistence. If Carlson didn’t join the bidding, would he have pushed the price up so h

    Jasmine then added with a meaningful smile, “Number 35, you’re the one who made the bid at two hundred and ten billion US dollars. That means that the price is within your affordability. Besides, it’s already a dream come true for you to purchase the pill even at this price. If you are dissatisfied and keep insisting for a re-auction, I’ll have the staff escort you out.”She went on, “We can sell the Rejuvenating Pill to Number 16 at seventy-two billion US dollars. Perhaps that means we’ll suffer a huge loss. After all, it’s around three hundred billion US dollars less than the highest offer earlier.”“However, losing three hundred billion US dollars isn't important to us. Upholding the rules is the most important!”“For those who try to challenge our rule and fairness, we’ll remove them from the auction at once!”“We will do the same regardless of the offender’s wealth and status. We do not welcome them here!”Jordan’s heart skipped an anxious beat at Jasmine’s harsh reminder.H

    “You! What did you just say?!”Jordan blacked out and almost fainted at that very second. Fortunately, Jarvis was right beside him. He supported him and pressed on a pressure point on Jordan’s hand, allowing Jordan to regain his consciousness.Immediately after, Jordan demanded furiously, “How can that b*stard call the emergency order? Does he even have the authority?!”Jace explained with great difficulty, “The Sir has called for a board meeting and presented the complete evidence regarding your funds and transactions at the group’s Swiss bank account…”“He told the board that you’ve deliberately gathered two hundred billion US dollars just for a fabled life elixir…”“He believed that your current health conditions have affected your sanity, including your rationale. If you continue to be the chairman, it’ll cause the group a huge financial loss and pose a big risk to the future operations. As such, they executed the highest emergency order…”Jace continued, “Everyone on the boa

    He lost count of the endless despair, emotional, and hopeful moments he had during the entire night. It kept going on and on like an unending cycle.He felt his heart was growing weak from all the overwhelming emotions. If this continued, he would go through a heart attack and pass away before even eating the pill.Bernard stared intensely at Jordan, hoping to hear Jordan say that he couldn’t buy or pay for the pill. If that happened, Bernard would be able to buy the Rejuvenating Pill with just seventy-two billion US dollars!Kathleen, meanwhile, was relieved when she found out that her grandfather was eligible to win the pill. However, her heart jumped in shock and anxiety when she heard her grandfather’s angry roar. Immediately, she knew her uncle must have taken the chance to usurp her grandfather’s position. Jace the butler stuttered helplessly, “My Lord… I’m so sorry. I have no way to help you now… I’m under house arrest. Sir ordered at least dozens of mercenaries to surround

    Jordan’s face twisted into a pained expression. He never expected his dutiful son, who valued family and affection, would treat him so ruthlessly. He thought his son had always regarded him as the most important person out of everyone else. The terrible truth was that his son hated him intensely due to his long life.Jordan was so obsessed with longevity, he even traveled far to Aurous Hill for it. His eldest son must have been furious with that.Thus, the man chose to reveal his true colors at such a time.Despite Jordan’s reluctance to admit it, he knew that his son must have already gained complete control over the Fox family in the United States. After all, his son managed to remove him from power by making almost all the board members vote in his son’s favor. The man was confident that Jordan would be powerless to resist. With how almost all the board members showed support for his son, that also meant that Jordan had lost their trust for him.Jordan was already dying, una

    Jarvis hurriedly supported the unconscious Jordan. He read Jordan’s pulse immediately. Noticing that it was steadily weakening and that Jordan was approaching death, he shouted anxiously, “He might not be able to make it! Hurry, call the ambulance!”The door to the second-floor private room suddenly burst open. Kathleen stood behind the railing and fled inside, crying in panic. “Grandpa! Master Yant, what happened to my grandfather?!”Jarvis looked up to see Kathleen on the second floor and murmured sadly, “Miss Kathleen, Lord Fox, he… I’m afraid he might not make it!”Kathleen fell into an immediate breakdown. She shouted at the staff, “His life is at stake! Please call the ambulance!”Jarvis carried Jordan up from his seat and alerted the staff as well. “Please call the ambulance!”Jasmine ordered the staff to summon the emergency staff in at once. Frightened that someone might accidentally faint due to turbulent emotions in the auction, she had arranged for an emergency team in

    Kathleen knew Charlie wouldn’t turn a blind eye on her anymore, particularly after he gave his men the instructions. She hurriedly followed them and rushed to the first floor.The VIP room on the first floor was very close to the auction hall.Jarvis carried the dying Jordan into the room. The staff led Kathleen in as well.Kathleen couldn’t be bothered about her keeping her double identity a secret anymore. As soon as she went into the room, she rushed to Jordan’s side and asked worriedly, “Grandpa… Grandpa, wake up. Grandpa… I’m Kathleen. Can you hear me?”Jarvis sighed sadly. “Miss Kathleen, Lord Fox’s breathing has grown weaker. I’m afraid… I’m afraid he won’t make it…”Kathleen’s tears came rolling down her cheeks at that instant. She choked and cried, “It won’t be… Mr. Wade won’t let Grandpa die so easily… He must have a way… I’m sure he must have…”Jarvis sighed again. “Indeed, the Rejuvenating Pill can cure him and bring him back to life. Unfortunately, Lord Fox…can’t aff

    Charlie glanced at Jordan, then at Kathleen.Indeed, Jordan was on the verge of dying. His breathing was growing weaker and weaker by the passing second.Charlie said nothing as he watched Kathleen and Chandler’s pleading faces. He silently took out a Healing Pill that had been cut in half from his pocket. He had prepared half a Healing Pill ahead.When he took out the pill, Kathleen became so emotional that she immediately burst into tears.The medicine pills looked pretty much the same. She thought the half pill Charlie took out was the Rejuvenating Pill her grandfather desired.She recalled the miraculous effect of the Rejuvenating Pill earlier. A quarter pill could easily save her grandfather. If he could take a half pill, his life could be extended by six to seven, maybe even ten years.She was overwhelmed by excitement, and didn’t know how to thank Charlie. While she was lost for words, Charlie interrupted her in a stoic tone, “Miss Fox, I must make this clear. This is not

    Holding up a thumb at Charlie, Julien exclaimed in approval, "You're right, my friend! That's far more exciting than having him jailed!"Just hearing that he would be sent to a kennel, Jimmy knew nothing would come of it—even if he didn't know the details, it was so obvious that Julien was thrilled by the very idea!Turning nervously toward Charlie, he was sobbing as he asked, "Mr. Wade…? What's this about a kennel…?"Julien chuckled coolly even before Charlie said a word. "A kennel is where you keep dogs, of course. Though there are literal dogs and metaphorical dogs, and you are the latter."Oh, don't worry. It's a really nice place where you get your own cage, and you'll be fed every day. You don't even have to work, so just sit tight and keep eating until the day you die."Jimmy's soul left his body in that instant.He was going to be locked in a cage?! That was way worse than being locked up and sent to jail! Where was the humanity around here?!Even as the thought struck h

    Matilda was actually caught off guard by Jimmy's pleas, and even Paul found it hard to watch.Turning to Charlie, he said, "Please, Mr. Wade—my uncle can be a little despicable, but he is my father's brother. Please, let him have a chance to turn over a new leaf, seeing that he's earnestly repenting."While Paul spoke with Charlie, Jimmy was still confused and wondered why Paul would plead his case with Charlie instead of Julien. If there was anyone Paul should ask, it was Yolden since he was Julien's friend. So, why would he ask some young man instead of Yolden?That was when Charlie asked in curiosity, "You want to let him off? After he tried to take away your parents' legacy?"Paul smiled awkwardly. "I mean, I know the guy. He made sure to travel all this way to make a scene because he had nothing legal that could help him claim Smith Group Corporate Law from us. Otherwise, he'd have already filed the lawsuit in the States. Sure, it's a dirty move, but that's basically a des

    As Julien finished, he realized something was wrong and turned toward Charlie before he knew it.Charlie held his gaze in turn, his expression quizzical and amused.Julien cleared his throat right then. "See, there are people who can order me around, but they have my utmost respect. However, a third-rate lawyer like you? Who do you think you are?"That was when Julien's butler called, and he reported respectfully as soon as the call was answered, "Sir, I've spoken with Nate Ellis, the owner of Ares LLC. He has since agreed to fire Jimmy Smith right away as well as disbar him nationwide."Julien asked, "Good. Anything else?""Well, Mr. Ellis also delivered some documents that can be used as evidence against Jimmy Smith, which he claims is enough for a lifetime sentence. If you deem it necessary, we can have it sent to the FBI.""Yes, let's go with that!" Julien replied, his tone satisfied. "And ask the director to handle it personally—I want this prick to never set foot stateside

    Jimmy was sweating profusely in fear, but he argued back before he knew it, "That's impossible! Everything you say is bullshit! Gaiman simply thought he had a fair chance of winning and didn't want to pay Ares that much, and I have no idea who he partnered with, and I'm certainly not involved. Don't you try to slander me!"Nate chuckled. "Come on, Jimmy. We're all adults here, so there are things we shouldn't have to be so direct about. Mills Gaiman and your old classmate met in private many times, not to mention the private conferences you three had in secret, discussing your overall strategy and decisive points. Just so you know, Gaiman recorded every conversation, and I have the tapes with me."Jimmy's heart was left pounding as he blurted, "B-Bullshit! That's impossible!""Grow up, Jimmy," Mr.Goodman chuckled. "Every partner in every law firm always strives to rise higher, so I'm going to need as much leverage as I can. Otherwise, I'm not about to let them advance any further, e

    Although the ringtone and vibration frequency were the ones Jimmy always used, this call somehow felt more urgent, leaving him exceedingly uneasy.When it abruptly stopped and left a missed call on his log, Nate Ellis soon sent a text: [Answer your damn phone this instant!]Just seeing the text left Jimmy feeling like his throat had gone dry, and as he gulped, it felt like his throat was being ripped, leaving him hurting.Still, he couldn't care less as his boss called again.Having seen the text, Jimmy didn't hesitate this time and promptly answered, watching Julien's smug face as he started tentatively, "Y-Yes, boss...?"Nate immediately yelled at him hysterically, "What the hell did you do?! Why did the Rothschilds call to complain about you?! And the complaint was from their heir apparent, at that! I worked hard for them and always toed the line for years, and I still haven't gotten a chance to meet the man, so how the fuck did you upset him?!"Jimmy's heart sank to rock bott

    Fuming, Jimmy snapped at Julien, "If you insist on playing it like that, I will call my boss, and you can talk to him yourself!"Julien chuckled. "That's unnecessary. I've never met him. He would never recognize my voice."Jimmy laughed and nodded despite himself. "Impressive—you can really come up with anything! You don't have his number because he's beneath you, you refuse to call him because he's beneath you, and when I say I'll call him for you, you say he won't recognize your voice. Well, how do you suppose we should sort this out? At least prove you're a Rothschild, or anyone could claim that they are—"Julien held up a hand to stop him. "Then, how about this? I'll ask my butler to talk to your boss."Jimmy laughed even more loudly as if it were the best joke ever. "Hahaha!!! Butler, you say?! You really know how to talk! Alright, I'll wait and see what your 'butler' can do… I mean, what you can do. We'll see whether my boss calls me!"Julien ignored him and whipped out his

    Naturally, Jimmy couldn't care less about Julien's suggestion, even looking at him pointedly from head to toe while smirking in contempt, "What, do you think I'd just do what any nutjob tells me to do just because they're claiming to be the Rothschilds' heir apparent?"Julien nodded, still smiling. "Good point, but don't worry—it's the same whether you call him or he calls you."Jimmy laughed. "I was offering you a way out, but you want to keep pressing your luck? Since you don't care to back off, let's see how you're going to finish this fight."Then, he shrugged while pointing at Yolden. "Well, it's the perfect chance to measure Matilda's husband, I guess."Based on what he saw of Yolden, there was no way he would buy Julien's claims, and thus labeled him an impostor in his mind.An ordinary lecturer in Aurous Hill, being friends with the Rothschilds' heir apparent? Not to mention that there had been plenty of fraudulent cases outside the States where the Rothschild name was use

    Jimmy was taken aback since he didn't recognize Julien at all, mainly because the Rothschilds had always kept out of the public eye.In fact, it was basically impossible to gather genuine information about the Rothschilds online, as it was a mix of press releases and gossip. Most online biographies would only be about the older generations or certain frivolous figures. Any information about key members like Steve would never be searchable online.Matilda was confused as well, not quite understanding who Julien was since he wasn't on the list of guests invited.Seeing that she was confused, Julien turned and smiled at Yolden, "So, Professor, shouldn't you introduce me to the bride?"Yolden finally remembered that and quickly nodded, "Sorry, it slipped my mind."Turning toward Matilda, he smiled, "Darling, this is Julien Rothschild… A friend of mine from the states…"Julien's full name left everyone within earshot gaping as the Rothschild name was way too famous across the globe.

    Seeing that Jimmy was getting a little nervous, Charlie smiled and assured him, "Please, you have nothing to worry about. No one's going to do anything to you, but if you feel threatened in any way, you can call the cops. The Oskian emergency hotline is 110, by the way."Jimmy was slightly relieved as he could see that Charlie really wasn't trying to make things awkward for him, and he straightened his collar as he said, "Actually, I didn't mean to cause trouble—I'm pleased that Matilda has found true love once more, and if we can be friends, I can set aside my claim and stay for the rest of this wedding, offering the newlyweds our best wishes as a representative of my family."Still, his expression showed contempt as he turned toward Yolden. "Also, I'm really curious and looking forward to seeing what connections Professor Hart might have that you say could be better than Bill.""You'll see soon enough," Charlie smiled and nodded.Jimmy remained skeptical and scoffed, "I really do
