"Now with all that said and done, may the bidding begin. There is no opening bid. So bid to your heart content" Loveth announced confidently. "One Million!!" a man from the audience at the lower floor hurriedly called out a bid. A second barely passed before another bid beat his own. "Two Million!" "Three Million!" "Three Million Six Hundred Thousand!" "Four Million!" Those at the lower hall engaged each other in a fierce bidding war as everybody wanted to get their hands on the spirit herb. Although the herb would be literally useless in their hands, they could sell it at a much more higher price to a Divine Physician; after all, that kind of occupation was the most lucrative in the whole world. Not only that, they would also be able to forge an acquaintance with a Divine Physician. As such, the desire to obtain the spirit herb was intense in their eyes. Just as the bids were slowly inching towards the Ten Million mark, a voice suddenly rang from the VIP lounge, successful
Due to the delay, the crowd thought that Drew had given up the bid. Well, it didn't come as a surprise to them, factoring that the opposition was from the Red Canyon Sect. Even Loveth thought so as well. Although she felt that the bid for the item was below what she had anticipated, she had no choice but to accept the situation the way it was. Her establishment couldn't afford to offend a powerhouse such as the Red Canyon Sect. Just as she wanted to speak through the megaphone, a calm voice calling out a counter bid, resounded from the lower hall. "Hundred Million" Boom!! Everybody present nearly jumped up from their seats. This brat was still at it?! didn't he know when to give up?! "Heh. Looks like this brat isn't from an ordinary background. To think he still wishes to go toe to toe with the Red Canyon Sect. At least, it's not an exaggeration to say he's fully loaded" a man chuckled, in amusement. "So what if he's fully loaded. Sometimes, money can't buy your way through
"Welcome Mr. Drew, is it?" Loveth flashed Drew a beautiful smile as soon as he got inside her office. "You can have a seat please" she pointed at the empty chair facing her desk. Naturally, Drew complied. "You can leave us now" she told the two hefty men standing at both sides of the door. Nodding, the two men obediently left, closing the door from behind them. Drew couldn't help but cast his eyes around the office. It wasn't that spacious, just consisting of a small sofa, two chairs and a desk, a book shelf, an air conditioner, light bulbs, a couple of artistic paintings and a couple of medals on the office desk. All in all, the office was neatly arranged. "I wonder what city you are from, Mr. Drew?" Loveth asked, in an effort to strike up a conversation. "Does it matter?" naturally, Drew wasn't so foolish as to divulge such an information. "I was just curious. After all, you are a new face. Not to brag, but I am actually the observative type and I know majority of those who
"Business proposal?" "Indeed" Drew replied in a serious tone. "I was interested in that Moon Fairy pill that was auctioned off at the event. I'm curious, is it a product of your establishment?" "You mean that? Well, the Moon Fairy pill is not our product but one manufactured by Memphis Herbal Heaven " Loveth replied with a soft giggle. "Hm? I haven't heard of such an establishment.. If they could be able to come up with such a miraculous product, no way they would be a small time business, don't you think?" Drew replied in a thoughtful manner. "Indeed. Memphis Herbal Heaven was created not more than three months ago" Loveth nodded in agreement. "At that time, it was just a small time local business that specialized in the sale of hair lotions. However after three weeks, they began introducing interesting products one after the other, that completely defeated the other medicinal products in the city. Within the span of three months, they became the number one company, firmly d
"Like I had guessed, you are no ordinary youngster" just then, sounds of laughter rang out as two figures appeared from behind Drew. They were Dorian and his master from the Red Canyon Sect. Unfortunately, Drew didn't know they were the envoys from the Red Canyon Sect since the identity of all VIP customers were top secret. "Who are you and why are you stalking me?" Drew frowned with disappointment. "Oh? it seems that you are disappointed? were you expecting someone tougher?" Dorian's master chuckled upon noticing Drew's countenance. "I was expecting a lady" Drew shrugged. "Interesting!" Dorian's master chuckled as his eyes twinkled. It was unknown what was going on his mind. "Although I had expected this.. if you were able to walk past the premises of the Auction House unhindered, that means you were pay up the huge amount you bidded on those items" Drew's face became stern upon hearing the other party's statement. He instantly became alert as he cautiously roamed his eyes a
"Drew! you are finally here!" Tom who had been worriedly pacing about at the garden area sighed in relief when she saw Drew walking past the gates of her family apartment. Rushing over to his side, she began to check his body in case of any bruises or injuries. "Are you okay? were you attacked? are you injured? gosh, I'm so sorry" At that moment, Tom seemed to have taken the role of a over caring house wife whose husband had just returned from the battle field. "Oh. Oh. Looks like you have a very caring girlfriend. I'm jealous!" Tom paused her frantic inspection when she heard a joking remark from behind Drew. Looking over, she finally noticed that Drew wasn't alone but had brought company instead. "He's an expert Divine Physician. You can call him master Bumi" Drew took it upon himself to introduce Dorian and his master. He intentionally omitted the part where they were from the Red Canyon Sect since doing so would only make Tom and her family worry even more. Hearing that
"Let's do this" Drew cracked his knuckles as he stared at the arrays of expensive and rare herbs laid on the table before him. Besides the herbs was a large cauldron.Although the cauldron couldn't be compared to that of the one he has back at Delta City, it wasn't of low quality either. He was currently inside a spacious room that the Mick family had personally arranged for him to brew the antidote. A serene atmosphere was a must for a Divine Physician, whenever they wanted to perform their 'medecinal magic' Currently apart from Drew, there was also two others present: Master Bumi and his disciple Dorian. "Can you really brew this medicine?" Drew massaged his temples when he heard that same repetitive question from Master Bumi. "If I can't, can you refine it as well?" he retorted. He had already lost track of how many times the other party had doubted his skills. In the face of Drew's question, Master Bumi smiled with embarrassment. "I'm just concerned about the herbs. It w
"How was it?" Currently the whole Mick family were gathered around Mr Caleb lying on a white bed in his room, with eager expressions. "What are you saying Rosalie? your father just drank the medicine. There's no way he would suddenly recover, right?" Although it sounded like a chastisement, Mrs. Mick was actually asking of Drew's opinion. "Sigh. The Sun Curse is a deadly ailment" Drew who was standing a few feets away, holding an empty bowl, sighed. "Although the antidote I brewed was a powerful one, Mr. Mick won't recover instantly. He still needs two days worth of rest before he can return back to normal. " "I'd advise that you give him his space during those two days. Not only that, ensure to change his diet.. he shouldn't eat meat or anything that was cooked or stir fried" he advised. "But my dad hates vegetables" Tom frowned with worry. "Well, then he has to learn how to enjoy eating them. Although he can substitute vegetables with fruits " Drew replied. "Thank you ver
