Chapter 1934: Wasn't it not working anymore?!

When the Korean billionaire surnamed Li successfully paid the 38.2 billion USD, he walked to the front of the stage with stumbling steps.

The weakness of being near death made him stumble, and the pain brought by terminal cancer also made him extremely miserable.

Originally, he had reached the point of needing multiple painkiller injections every day. Just before leaving the room and coming down to participate in the auction, he had his entourage give him an injection.

But the effect of the medicine had obviously weakened significantly by now, and every step he took brought him piercing pain.

Fortunately, this billionaire's endurance was not something ordinary people could compare to.

He had once been a soldier and experienced the Korean War back then, and it was precisely the baptism of artillery fire that forged his extraordinary perseverance.

He endured the pain and walked to the front of the stage step by step. Although his body was still in constant pain, his heart had already opened up.

He knew this was the last step of the phoenix nirvana. The pain spreading throughout his body was like a raging fire; it wouldn't destroy him, only let him be reborn.

Therefore, not only was he not afraid of the pain, but he enjoyed this pain that could make him incomparably clear-headed.

Many people below the stage soon recognized his identity, knowing he was the head of the top Korean conglomerate, the Li family.

Many years ago, the media had reported on this legendary Korean billionaire's journey of fighting cancer. Some time ago, many media outlets had reported the news of his worsening condition. Now, seeing him appear here, many people couldn't understand why he was willing to take out 38.2 billion to compete for the final portion of a quarter of a Rejuvenation Pill.

Because many felt that with his strength, he should have been able to compete for the final whole Rejuvenation Pill.

But this Korean billionaire himself understood very well that the Li family's business was heavy assets—whether it was digital, semiconductors, or ships and shipping, they all required huge R&D costs and production costs without exception.

And the Li family currently only had 40 billion in cash reserves; the remaining assets were all kinds of fixed assets, debt assets, and intangible assets, which couldn't be cashed out in a short time at all.

Therefore, he didn't dare to bet all his chances on the final Rejuvenation Pill.

At the scene, the staff put the Rejuvenation Pill into the Korean billionaire's mouth. At this instant, all the pain in his body vanished rapidly.

The Rejuvenation Pill was like a destructive gale, driving away all the haze that had originally shrouded the sky.

At this moment, he was moved to tears.

This feeling of being bathed in a spring breeze reminded him of the early morning when the armistice agreement took effect more than half a century ago.

When he crawled out of the tunnel where he had been huddled for days and saw the starry sky on a summer night, the feeling of surviving a disaster was almost identical to the present.

He didn't shout excitedly, nor did he cheer excitedly; there was only a sense of awe for the deceased survivors.

From the moment he was pushed onto the battlefield by the torrent of history, he had witnessed too many deaths around him, and in the decades that followed, he had witnessed the constant departure of many old friends.

Today, all his friends had passed away, and only he was still persisting alone.

And now, he had won another great victory in his life.

Although the price was heavy, it was a victory in the end.

It was just that standing alone in front of the stage, a sense of loneliness arose spontaneously.

Afterward, he thought of his children, thinking that after today, his children might hold a grudge against him or even turn against him, and he would be even more of a lonely person, which made him feel even more emotional.

Gently wiping away his tears, his gaze gradually became firm.

It was also at this moment that he had another layer of understanding about money.

He suddenly understood a line of ancient poetry by the Chinese poet Li Bai: "Heaven has made me talented, and I will surely be of use; even if I spend a thousand gold, it will return."

So what if he spent more than 30 billion USD in an instant? The highest mission of wealth is to serve life.

The people below the stage watched with their own eyes as this withered, sallow-faced old man quickly regained his color, and his whole person's spirit also improved significantly, which naturally made them extremely envious. ===== CHAPTER 1935 =====
