SON-IN-LAW GETS AN UPGRADE - Season 6 Episode 45

Alex cast a look at Takeshi before raising the bidding paddle. “Ninety million.”

As I said earlier, I must get this top-notch thousand-year-old purple ginseng Not only can I use it to make Pill of Longevity, but also Big Pill of Cultivation. Most importantly these two pills will benefit me greatly! Never mind if f didn’t encounter it, but note that I’ve come into contact with it. I’ll never give up

Takeshi glanced at Alex once more. A glimmer of barely perceptibile fury flashed across his eyes, and he placidly announced in extremely fluent Eurasian, “Ladies and gentlemen. I’m from the Tokugawa family, and the Tokugawa family is one of the top five noble families in Jetroina. I’d like to request a favor from all of you to allow me the honor of procuring this purple ginseng. I’ll definitely reward you all greatly

Then, he said to Alex, “Also, the Tokugawa family has a pharmaceutical company in Lumenopolis. We have developed quite a few great drugs that may be of use to you.”

In response, Alex flashed him a faint smile and questioned, “Are the drugs by the Tokugawa family really that great? Regretfully, I’m not interested at all. By the way. I’ve also taken an interest in this purple ginseng and am determined to procure it. Just place your bid if you truly want it.”

Upon hearing that, chagrin manifested on Takeshi’s face. Beside him, Haruko studied Alex with much curiosity.

The Tokugawa family is a very powerful family in Jetroina. What’s more, Tokugawa is considered a family name of Jetroina’s noble families. As long as Takeshi and I reveal our family background in Eurasia, many of the big shots here will give us due respect. I never expected this relatively handsome lad to disregard us all together!

For that reason, she couldn’t help sparing him a few more looks.

“I offer a hundred million!” After having been humiliated by Alex, Takeshi upped the bid by ten million straight away since he reckoned that the former didn’t seem to be some affluent heir.

He had been in Eurasia for a few years now, so he had a basic understanding of Eurasian culture.

Considering his casual and cheap clothes, he likely hasn’t much to his name!

In the blink of an eye, he looked down on Alex.

Thus, he felt that the former would be scared off when he upped the bid to a hundred million in one go.

However, he had never imagined that Alex would be even more lavish than him to up the bid by twenty million all at once.

“I offer a hundred and twenty million!” Alex regarded Takeshi with a confident smile playing on his lips.

At that, Takeshi’s eyes narrowed into slits.

That pittance was naturally a drop in the bucket to him, but he had always been a practical man.

While the purple ginseng was the cream of the crop, he felt that it was only worth a hundred million at

most.

Furthermore, that price was only feasible during an auction. In normal circumstances, eighty million was already the best price it could fetch.

After Alex had raised the bid to a hundred and twenty million, he wouldn’t up the bid further.

Despite truly wanting to obtain that thousand-year-old purple ginseng, he certainly wouldn’t be following when the price had far exceeded the actual price.

“A hundred and twenty million?”

Everyone was shocked by Alex’s lavishness.

Oh

my God, a seventy to eighty million purple ginseng is actually being auctioned at a hundred and twenty million! This fellow is really wealthy!

But at the thought that Maggie was going to foot the bill for Alex, their astonishment abated.

Well, the Grant family is the mysterious boss of Breezeworth Hall with assets over a hundred billion, so a hundred and twenty million is nothing to them.

Noticing that Takeshi wasn’t upping the bid, everyone knew that he had already given up.

Right then, the auctioneer declared, “If no one else is going to up the bid, this purple ginseng is going to Mr. Jefferson.”

After saying that, he paused for a moment. When the entire auction hall remained silent, he continued, “A hundred and twenty million going once.”

“A hundred and twenty million going twice.”

“A hundred and twenty million going thrice. Congratulations, Mr. Jefferson! Sold!”
