And so, the Middle East billionaire decided to use Number 47 African tycoon as a lab mouse. He patiently observed the crowd, and noticed that one else intended to continue bidding with a higher price.

Everyone present was no idiot. They could tell that Number 48 had severe Parkinson's disease by observing his heavy tremors. They wanted to see whether he could recover right away after winning and eating the first Rejuvenating Pill.

Meanwhile, Jasmine announced, "Ladies and gentlemen, the first Rejuvenating Pill: s currently at two billion US dollars. Two billion US dollars two times. If any other guests would like to participate in the bidding, this is your last opportunity before I call for the third time. Please raise your hand if you would like to bid.

The crowd remained silent. They were all determined not to act before they were certain of the pill's efficiency.

Everyone looked forward to ending the first round of bidding and quickly closing the deal.

It was a chance for the Rejuvenating Pill to shine. Only then will they know if it was effective or otherwise.

Finally, Jasmine said, "Alright. Two billion US dollars for the third time. I'll ask for the last time. Are there any other bidders? If there is, please seize the last chance."

Number 47 was shaking violently because of his nervousness. He had no idea if the Rejuvenating Pill would treat his disease. However, he knew this was his only chance. There were no other modern medical methods that could treat him into complete recovery. The Rejuvenating Pill might be his only and last chance of recovery.

At last, Jasmine took the small hammer in hand. She raised it and looked around the crowd for the last time, then smiled. "Two billion US dollars, sold!"

She hit the hammer hard on the

auction table, making a crisp noise. After that, she gestured her hand to the African tycoon with a sweet

smile Let's congratulate Net a

47 for winning the first Rejuvenating

Pilt tonight with two billion US dollars!"

The crowd cheered with thunderous applause. The African tycoon was filled with excitement.

After that. Jasmine continued, "Next, please let our staff hand the phone to Number 47. Number 47, please complete the fund transfer as soon as possible."

As she spoke, a young soldier from the Ten Thousand Armies handed Number 47 a specially customized mobile phone.

Number 47 didn't take it and instead told his subordinate to take the phone. His subordinate accepted it and then dialed straight an overseas number.

The call was quickly connected. His subordinate lifted the phone to the African tycoon's ear, who then said with a shaking voice, "Hurry and pay... Two billion... US dollars... to the auction house..." Everyone waited quietly for the confirmation of the fund transfer.

About five minutes later, Jasmine

ven

received a notification from her financial officer that the two billion US dollars were now in their account. With that, she smiled and announced, "Our finance has confirmed the receipt of payment. Now, let's invite Number 47 to the stage to eat the Rejuvenating Pill right away!"

The African tycoon's subordinate interjected hurriedly, "Excuse me, but our chairman has difficulty moving. Can you arrange for the staff to send the pill to him?"

Jasmine shook her head and replied

politely, "Sir, I truly sorry. I regret

to inform you that as per our auction's rules, every winner who bought the Rejuvenating Pill must come on stage and eat the pillon the spot. If Number 47 has difficulty moving, we can arrange our staff to help him on stage."

The subordinate was a little resentful. They paid two billion US dollars for the pill, after all. 'Why can't the auction house agree to such a small request? How inhumane!'
