"Bestie guess what?""What?""My trash husband just won a lottery of two million dollars!!"Becca stared at her best friend with her eyes opened up as they were filled with absolute shock.Seeing the look of surprise on her friend's face, Layla was currently undergoing a manicure, wriggled her toes in excitement before smacking her red lips."That's right. That useless bastard. Since the two years we got married, yesterday night was the first time I have ever given him a kiss on the lips " Layla's brows creased as she didn't bother hiding the disgust on her face."The useless wretch even wanted to consummate our marriage " she added with a shake of the head."Did you?" Becca had with her eyes sparking with interest."What do you think!" Layla smiled sweetly."I don't usually enjoy guessing, but I'll bet that you did?" Becca shrugged her shoulders."Then you don't know me girl " Layla burst into an amused fit of laughter."You didn't?" Becca appeared surprised."But he--""Hmpfh " Lay
"Why are you still standing there? is your legs stiff? fine, let me help" chuckling wickedly, the large man swung his right leg, towards James knee bones. Judging by the speed, he had obviously put all his effort into the kick.. He no longer wanted to humiliate James. He wanted to cripple him as well! Bang! "Uwaaaah!!!" a shrill cry of pain echoed all over the venue as all eyes fell on the culprit who was currently writhing and wailing on the ground, with a dislocated leg.. "What the--" gasps of shock and surprise escaped the lips of all who were present as they observed the pitiful shape of the large man. "You bastard! what the hell did you do?!" the boss of the large man roared at James.. Seeing his acolyte on the floor in such a pitiful state under the public eyes of others made him lose face. "Are you stupid? he wanted to kick me" James hissed. Sometimes he just couldn't understand how the brains of some people worked. "Then why aren't you rolling on the ground huh?!"
"Okay?"To Rosie's annoyance, James remained completely unfazed at her earlier attempt to provoke him. However before she could continue speaking, Jason beat her to it."You mentioned you know an Older Cousin who dabbles in the Art of Ancient Medicine correct? tell me more about them""Heh" Rosie curled her lips."My big bro Dax is.."The next seven minutes saw her singing praises about her cousin who was known as Dax. As for James, he seemed to be completely focused on her words, even nodding in amazement once in a while. However, inwardly, his mind was many miles away.From the few moments he spent with Rosie, he had already deduced what kind of person Rosie was. Although she appeared to be rude, James wouldn't go as far as to antagonize her just yet. People like her from illustrious background tended to share the stubborn trait of always loving to be right in all arguments. He knew if he began arguing with her, the argument would develop into a conflict. He could already guess tha
The office fell into a tensed silence as two pairs of eyes were fixedly locked onto each other, before Manager Talia finally broke the silence. "I am interested in you""Eh?" James was taken aback by the unexpected response .He swiftly replied while wagging his tongue."I hate to disappoint a beauty such as you but I am currently not ready to mingle. The pieces of my shattered heart is too scattered to peice together" Manager Talia's eyes widened before she burst into a fit of amused laughter."I like your sense of humor" she obviously wasn't going to take his words seriously."I am just a messenger sent to procure some herbs. I am anything but special" James swiftly said when he saw the other party about to move her lips. Although Manager Talia wanted to continue their discussion and probe more regarding James identity, she decided to smartly show restraint and drop the matter. A couple minutes later, a staff member arrived at the hospital with all the herbs James won at the a
"And that marks the end of today's event. On behalf of my establishment, I would like to appreciate all those who attended today's auction event. For those who won a bid or two, a select number of staff members would lead you to where you'd receive the cargo.. at the same time, make payment of course" The audiences chuckled at the last part of Rosie's statement. As for James, he could only sigh helplessly from where he stood. Although he really wished to purchase that spiritual pill and study it for research purposes, he knew his priorities, which was to purchase the herbs for Mr. Krios treatment. Not to mention, he wasn't so shameless as to leech off the other party for his own needs. His marriage to the Blue family was more than enough of a lesson. Although James didn't participate in the bid for the spiritual pill, there were more than enough interested parties. The bidding war was quite intense, however it was eventually won by an unknown VIP attendee for the whooping sum of
The Auction Hall fell silent as soon as the first auction item was announced. Taking a moment to build up the tension,, Rosie's lips finally moved as she continued speaking. "A majority of us here are medical practitioners so I won't have to go into too much details to prove how important a spiritual herb is. It is said that this Three Crown Silver Blood Ginseng is a powerful spiritual herb that takes ten years to sprout, ten years to grow the first crown, ten years to grow the second crown and ten years to fully mature. As you all already know, my Green Leaf Auction House boasts of our own medicine garden.. this Three Crown Silver Blood Ginseng is a product from that garden, and was reared with the utmost care " "Apart from this, this herb isn't a decorative item. It can be used as a supporting herb to refine a myraid types of medicines or pills aimed at treating fatal internal injuries. As such the herb would be going for a starting price of ten thousand dollars. Every bid increa
"You Think I am mistaken?" Manager Talia glared icily at the female receptionist. A few moments ago she had been in the midst of preparing for the oncoming auction event when she suddenly received an alert from one of the company's debit software. According to the software, a very high level bank card had been introduced into one of their ATM machines. As such Manager Talia had literally sped all the way over. Who would've expected that one of her blind staffs was in the process of chasing the prestigious customer away?! "If you don't want to lose your job, apologize to the honored guest right now!"Many of the passerbys felt a bomb exploding within their heads when they heard Manager Talia's words. Some of the crafty ones even brought out their phones as they began recording the interaction. Someone who could warrant such respect from Manager Talia had to have come from a prestigious background! Whether it was Lucas or the female Receptionist, their jaws dropped as they gawked a
"Hmph, where do you think this place is bumpkin.. these seven herbs are nowhere special. Of course we would have them. Hmph " the female receptionist clicked her tongue as disgust flashed past in her eyes."Then why did you shake your head?!" although James had a feeling the other party was just trying to make things difficult for him, he still chose to remain cordial. "Although we have the seven herbs in stock, unfortunately for you they are all listed on the Items to be auctioned off today. If you want to purchase them, you would have to join the auction" a mocking sneer appeared on the lips of the female receptionist as she sneered inwardly. Judging from James outfit and the fact that he was acquainted with Lucas, she figured he wasn't the type who could afford a membership in a prestigious auction event as the one hosted by the Green Leaf Auction House. However just as she was expecting James to leave with a crestfallen expression, he remained rooted on the spot. This infuriate
Under the lead of Lucas, James made his way around the Outer Region of the Ancient Market. When James arrived at the Inner Region, he couldn't resist sighing emotionally.The spiritual qi in the air was so dense that without even activating his breathing technique, James could feel his pores opening up as they automatically absorbed the spiritual qi. If he wasn't on an errand and wasn't so broke, James wouldn't mind opening a shop in this region.If he cultivated in this place for just a week, his Cultivation results would be massive!However, it wasn't only the spiritual qi in the atmosphere that changed. Compared to the Outer Region, the Inner Region was far more organized. No matter what corner James looked, he didn't find a single wandering peddler. Instead, there were various large shops displaying their wares in see through glasses."Nice. Those are Cicada Glass correct?" he recognized the see through glasses right away."Indeed. The Young Master is amazing to have recognized Ci
"Scram out of the way ant!" Looking over, James saw the one who had just spoken. It was an arrogant looking man with an upturned brow. He was standing in front of seven hefty looking men who were carrying a luxurious palaquin on their shoulders. Seeing this strange entourage, James lips curled up into a small smile of amusement. "You bastard! why are you still standing there smiling like an idiot?! scram out of the way!" the arrogant looking messenger cried out, feeling irritated at the smile on James lips. "The path is obviously wide. Why do I have to make way for you? aren't you just intentionally looking for trouble?" James questioned back, stunning both the nearby passerbys and the arrogant messenger. "You! you dare speak to me like that?!" The arrogant messenger pointed at James with trembling fingers. It was like he had just seen a ghost. "Who the hell do you think you are? aren't you just an errand boy?" James shrugged before losing any further interest in the other part
