Chapter 1931: The big shot hidden in the dark

At this time, Song Wanting, who was at the auction site, announced loudly: "The next lot to be brought to the stage is the third portion of the Rejuvenation Pill tonight! Opportunities for the Rejuvenation Pill are few, so please seize them well and don't leave yourself with regrets."

Hearing this, the spirits of everyone at the scene were lifted once again.

Because Todd taking the second portion of the Rejuvenation Pill just now had allowed everyone to witness an even more magical side of the Rejuvenation Pill with their own eyes.

Thus, many people were already rubbing their hands at this very moment, determined to spare no cost to win the third portion of the Rejuvenation Pill.

The staff brought another portion of the Rejuvenation Pill to the stage with a silver tray, and Song Wanting smiled and said: "The starting price for the third portion of the Rejuvenation Pill remains unchanged, still 100 million USD, with a minimum increase of 10 million each time. I see that everyone present is already rubbing their hands, so I won't delay your time. The bidding starts now, please bid!"

As soon as she finished speaking, someone immediately shouted: "5 billion!"

As soon as that person finished speaking, someone else said: "What time is it, still 5 billion? I bid 10 billion!"

Everyone knew that the third portion of the Rejuvenation Pill couldn't possibly be sold for less than 10 billion USD. It wasn't surprising that it reached 10 billion in two bids.

Thus, although the third portion of the Rejuvenation Pill started at 100 million USD, it had already been pushed to the 10 billion USD mark in less than ten seconds.

The one who bid 10 billion USD was exactly that billionaire who had just wanted to let Todd go first so he could pick up a bargain on the third portion.

He had originally thought that he could win this portion of the Rejuvenation Pill for 9 billion USD, but who could have expected that many people had been deeply convinced by the changes in Todd after taking the Rejuvenation Pill, so those who had exited the competition early in the previous round were almost all gritting their teeth and persisting in this round.

Therefore, when that billionaire reported the price of 10 billion USD, someone immediately added 100 million USD on top of his bid.

Immediately after, the price continued to rise.

It was soon pushed to a new high of 12 billion USD by other bidders.

That billionaire was already regretting it deeply, but regret was useless. If he didn't fight for it now, there would probably be even more variables for the fourth portion of the Rejuvenation Pill.

Thus, he gritted his teeth, raised his hand, and said with a trembling voice: "I bid 13 billion!"

As soon as he finished speaking, someone immediately raised their hand: "13.5 billion!"

No one expected that when the price rushed to 13.5 billion, there were still many people at the scene unwilling to give up.

Thus, the price rose higher and higher amidst everyone's continuous bidding.

14 billion, 15 billion, 16 billion...

The price rose like a broken bamboo, breaking through multiple 1 billion marks in succession, and without even stopping, it directly broke through the 18.7 billion mark.

In the process of the price constantly climbing, one after another, people dropped out.

It wasn't that they didn't want to get the Rejuvenation Pill; the price was simply too high, so high that it exceeded their ability to bear.

Even if some were willing to pay so much money, they couldn't possibly take out 10 or 20 billion USD in cash tonight.

To get so much money, they would at least have to sell a portion of their assets, or even mortgage or reduce their shareholdings.

Thus, many people gave up the bidding in tears, regretting deeply in their hearts. They regretted not persisting in bidding for the first 2 billion USD and the second 10 billion USD, missing the opportunity to own the Rejuvenation Pill, and now they could only watch the opportunity slip away before their eyes.

Even that billionaire who thought he could win this portion for 9 billion USD gave up the bidding in pain. The reason was simple: it wasn't that he didn't have money, but that the current price level had already exceeded his payment ability.

Finally, this Rejuvenation Pill was sold to a Jewish businessman in his seventies for 18.5 billion.

This Jewish businessman had been troubled by various chronic diseases such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and coronary heart disease all year round, and his physical condition was declining day by day.

And some time ago, his doctor found that his blood creatinine index remained high. After diagnosis, his kidneys had also begun to decline irreversibly.

Coupled with the addition of other diseases, the doctor estimated that he would enter the end stage of kidney disease in a few years. ===== CHAPTER 1932 =====
