Chapter 1927: 10 billion!

Todd's price of 7 billion did not scare off his competitors.

Just then, another billionaire raised his hand: "7.2 billion!"

The Chinese billionaire who had bid 5.8 billion and 6.8 billion before already had a somewhat pale face.

Although he bid very generously, he wasn't actually someone who didn't care about money.

His limit was around 8 billion. The reason he had increased the bid so readily twice was to scare off other competitors before his own limit was reached.

But if this were an auction for ordinary goods, his method might have worked. What was being auctioned on stage now wasn't goods, but lifespan!

A terminally ill patient who won this quarter of a Rejuvenation Pill had a great chance of being completely cured. Although they might not be able to become a few years younger, just being cured of their terminal illness was enough to extend their life by a few years, or even decades.

After all, some of them were only in their fifties or sixties. After suffering from a terminal illness, no matter how much money they had, they could only live a few more years. But if the terminal illness were completely cured, with their financial resources, living to eighty or ninety wouldn't be difficult.

Therefore, what was placed on the stage wasn't a Rejuvenation Pill at all, but a lifespan that everyone could use!

Under these circumstances, regardless of what psychological warfare you were playing, everyone had one thought: even if they had to go all-in with all their liquid assets, they must win the Rejuvenation Pill!

However, among the crowd, there were a few who looked relatively calm and hadn't participated in the bidding.

These people weren't without the strength to compete for the Rejuvenation Pill, but were holding back their energy to bid for the final whole pill.

Among them was Fei Jianzhong, as well as Bernard Arnault, who had been "forced" by Ye Chen to buy 2 billion in goods.

Besides them, there were a few other bidders whose declared assets weren't very high.

When they declared their assets and cooperated with the capital verification, they selectively only took out a portion of their assets, so their declared net worth was only around 100 billion USD. But in reality, these people were all top-tier hidden wealthy individuals with very strong strength.

Among them, a middle-aged man whose face looked somewhat similar to the middle-aged Zheng Shaoqiu, and even a bit more handsome, had his hands crossed over his chest. From beginning to end, he hadn't raised his hand, nor did he have any intention of doing so. His eyes were fixed on the Rejuvenation Pill on stage, his expression carrying a hint of coldness.

At this time, an entourage beside him whispered: "Young Master, according to the current trend, the final Rejuvenation Pill will probably reach hundreds of billions!"

The middle-aged man nodded gently and said with an unchanging expression: "No matter how high the price goes, we must spare no cost to take this Rejuvenation Pill!"

And at this time, the bidding at the scene was still continuing.

The price had been called all the way to 8.8 billion.

After reaching this price, the sound of bidding had decreased significantly.

Although they were all rich people who came, those who could take out 8.8 billion USD were indeed rare.

The Chinese brother from before had already lowered his head deeply, giving up the struggle with teary eyes.

At this time, Todd gritted his teeth and pushed the price up to 9 billion.

Immediately after, another person also began to be cautious, adding 100 million USD on top of his base.

And the one who bid 9 billion seemed to be prepared for a tug-of-war, so he also added 100 million on top of 9.1 billion.

The two went back and forth, gradually leaving others behind and gradually pushing the price to 9.9 billion USD.

At this time, both sides of the entanglement had a feeling of almost being ready to die together.

And the others at the scene began to calculate the current situation in their hearts.

Some felt that this second portion of the Rejuvenation Pill might be the most expensive of the four tonight.

Because having just experienced the "chicken blood" that the first portion of the Rejuvenation Pill gave everyone, it would make everyone lose their reason and fight crazily.

Therefore, whoever could get this Rejuvenation Pill at this stage was likely the strongest among everyone except those who intended to compete for the final whole Rejuvenation Pill.

In this way, it would be better to let the strongest one take the second portion of the Rejuvenation Pill quickly. Without them, the prices of the later two portions would likely fall back.

Precisely because of this thought, several people who still had the strength to continue increasing the bid gave up one after another.

However, their mistake was that they all thought they were the smartest one, but they hadn't thought that there were actually many people at the scene who thought the same way.

Thus, when Todd raised the price to 10 billion USD, the remaining person also gave up the competition. ===== CHAPTER 1928 =====
