The Amazing Son in Law: Chapters 1201-1205
Chapter 1201
In Sam's eyes, Charlie Wade's Rejuvenation Pill resembled an unremarkable Dali Pill. Even the most expensive Angari Pills, commanding exorbitant prices in Chinese medicine circles, only cost a few hundred thousand. Even if Charlie Wade's pill were an Angari Pill, it paled in comparison to the nearly $20 million ruby. Sam felt certain of his victory.
After his boastful declaration, Sam anticipated praise, but instead, he was met with stares of bewildered pity. This wasn't entirely his fault; he was the only guest unaware of the Rejuvenation Pill's true value. Although everyone considered him obtuse, no one dared to directly insult the Eastcliff Kilgore family's third young master.
However, Sam perceived their skepticism. He wondered, could the pill actually be valuable? Impossible! How much could it possibly be worth?
Charlie Wade smiled slightly and asked, "Master Kilgore, how much do you think my pill is worth?"
Sam scoffed, "One hundred thousand, at most!"
Charlie Wade responded, "Then let's hold a small, impromptu auction."
Sam frowned. "Auction? What do you mean?"
Charlie Wade explained, "We'll auction both our items to determine the final sale price. What do you say?"
Sam sneered, "Are you joking? The ruby necklace is a birthday gift for Miss Jasmine. I can't sell it."
Charlie Wade countered, "I believe your necklace is worth $20 million. According to our agreement, if my pill sells for more, I win."
Sam laughed. "Wade, you want to auction your worthless Rejuvenation Pill for more than $20 million? And it's a birthday gift for Miss Jasmine! Shameless!"
Jasmine, distressed, interjected, "Sam, don't speak to Master Wade like that!"
The guests were shocked. No one expected Jasmine to defend Charlie Wade. Sam's expression soured. He had gifted her an expensive necklace, yet she defended his rival. He didn't know the extent of Jasmine's gratitude toward Charlie Wade.
Chapter 1202
Witnessing Sam's ridicule, Jasmine felt compelled to defend Charlie Wade. Charlie Wade calmly produced another Rejuvenation Pill, stating, "I have another. The one for Miss Jasmine is off-limits. This one is for auction."
He then addressed the guests, "You all know what a Rejuvenation Pill is. Let's begin the auction."
Upon hearing the news, the guests were ecstatic. A Rejuvenation Pill—a legendary elixir—was up for grabs. Charlie Wade had never sold one before. Each guest desired a chance to regain their youth.
Charlie Wade smiled at Sam and asked, "Master Kilgore, your ruby necklace is worth $20 million, correct?"
Sam bragged, "Yes, and you've probably never seen that much money before! Scared?"
Charlie Wade calmly replied, "Never."
Ignoring Sam, Charlie Wade announced the auction rules, "Master Kilgore doubts my pill's value without his ruby. My starting price is $150 million."
Sam exclaimed, "You're insane, Wade! $150 million? Do you think we're fools?"
Lord Mooore immediately bid, "$150 million!"
Chapter 1203
Sam was stunned. Lord Mooore's bid was a shock. He accused Lord Mooore of colluding with Charlie Wade. Lord Mooore explained he genuinely wanted the Rejuvenation Pill, having witnessed its power. Even 1.5 billion wouldn’t deter him, and he'd buy ten if he could. But he hesitated, fearing to openly offend Sam.
Charlie Wade suggested Lord Mooore abstain to avoid suspicion. Lord Mooore reluctantly agreed. Sam breathed a sigh of relief, believing no one else would bid.
However, Travis Lane, Lancaster's richest man, bid, "$150 million!"
Sam was flabbergasted. Travis Lane was willing to offend the Kilgore family for the pill.
Chapter 1204
Sam was furious, witnessing Travis Lane's bid. He angrily questioned Travis's motives. Travis, undeterred, explained his desire for the pill, regardless of the consequences. The opportunity to rejuvenate was too enticing.
Just as Sam fumed, another guest bid $151 million. Charlie Wade clarified the minimum bid increment was $10 million. The man then bid $160 million. Another guest followed with $170 million. Travis Lane then countered with $200 million.
The auction continued to escalate, with Mr. Quinton and Mr. White joining the bidding war, each bid accompanied by apologies for outbidding the others. The price soared past $500 million, then $600 million, with Travis Lane, Mr. White, and Mr. Quinton remaining in contention. Their polite apologies with each bid astonished the guests. The price climbed to $980 million. Then, Travis Lane bid $1 billion, followed by Mr. White's $1.1 billion, and Mr. Quinton's $1.2 billion.
Chapter 1205
Travis Lane, undeterred, countered with $2 billion. Mr. White and Mr. Quinton, though wealthy, hesitated, considering the financial impact on their families. They conceded, acknowledging Travis Lane's superior financial standing. Travis Lane won the auction for $2 billion. He expressed gratitude and respect to Mr. White and Mr. Quinton. The guests were amazed by the three men's polite conduct despite the intense bidding war. Travis Lane respectfully accepted the Rejuvenation Pill from Charlie Wade.
