"Sir, are you truly unwilling to give face to the medical families?"
Ji Ruxue's expression turned cold as she looked at Lu Yang and asked in a stern voice.
"What if I do? What if I don't?"
Lu Yang asked indifferently.
"If you give face to the medical families, then should any of your family members fall ill, the medical families can naturally lend you a helping hand with their prescriptions. If you refuse to give face to the medical families, they will consider you an enemy and use all their means to suppress you and your entire clan!"
Ji Xueshuang said coldly.
"Oh? Is that so? I didn't expect the medical families to be so domineering. Since that's the case, then I won't give the medical families any face!"
"Today, no matter how much the medical families bid, I will add another hundred million!"
This statement caused a stir throughout the hall.
"Kid, you speak big words without fear of consequences. Who do you think you are? Are you the richest man in Hua Country? To dare make such a claim, I don't believe you dare to follow through!"
An elder standing beside Ji Xueshuang could no longer hold back. He glared at Lu Yang and roared coldly.
"Since I've spoken, I will naturally fulfill my promise. If you don't believe me, you can try!"
Lu Yang said with a faint smile.
"Fine, I bid ten billion!"
Ji Xueshuang's delicate brows furrowed slightly as she looked at Lu Yang and said.
"Eleven billion!"
Lu Yang directly countered.
The other wealthy individuals felt as if they were witnessing a battle between deities. They all held their breath, and no one dared to speak further, watching as the two individuals in the private room raised the price of the Dragon's Beard from ten million to eleven billion.
"You..."
"I bid..."
Ji Xueshuang's eyes flashed with coldness. Just as she was about to continue bidding, she was stopped by the elder beside her.
"Miss, you must not. Be wary of a trap!"
"Uncle Xiang, this brat is pushing his luck too far!"
Ji Xueshuang said with an icy expression.
"Let him be smug for a while. I want to see if he truly has eleven billion, or if he's just talking big and showing off!"
The elder said coldly.
"Mm!"
Hearing the elder's words, Ji Xueshuang nodded.
"Are there any other bids?"
"If not, the Dragon's Beard belongs to this gentleman!"
"Three, two, one, sold!"
"Congratulations to this gentleman for acquiring the Dragon's Beard at the price of eleven billion!" the beautiful hostess exclaimed with excitement. As an auctioneer, she had witnessed countless auction scenes, but this auction was the most shocking. The Dragon's Beard alone fetched eleven billion, a truly astronomical sum.
She couldn't help but wonder which prestigious family this young gentleman hailed from. If she could spend a night with him, perhaps she could also get rich?
The hostess couldn't help but speculate inwardly.
"Wait!"
"Hostess, I request an asset verification for this gentleman. I believe this gentleman does not have that much money. His bidding is merely to deliberately provoke our medical families!"
Just as the hostess was about to hand the Dragon's Beard to Lu Yang, the elder beside Ji Xueshuang stood up and loudly addressed the beautiful hostess.
"That's right, verify his assets immediately. How could this brat possibly have eleven billion? He's clearly just seeking attention!"
"I also support asset verification. This young man's face is unfamiliar. I haven't seen any scions of great families in Jiangbei City look like this. Perhaps he's infiltrated to cause trouble!"
"Verify assets!"
"Verify assets!"
"Verify assets!"
"..."
Following the elder's shout, all the wealthy individuals in the venue suddenly came to their senses and shouted along with the elder.
"The medical families are going too far!"
Meng Hongda, who was sitting beside Lu Yang, could no longer stand it. He directly stood up and glared at the elder, shouting coldly.
"Meng Hongda?"
"I wondered who was backing this brat. So it's you, Meng Hongda!"
"No wonder this kid is so arrogant; he has someone supporting him!"
"However, you, Meng Hongda, are just a practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine. What qualifications do you have to contend with our medical families?"
"Could it be that you, Meng Hongda, have changed your allegiance and are preparing to refine medicine?"
Upon seeing Meng Hongda, the elder immediately sneered.
"Have the medical families become so arrogant that they don't even put our Jiangbei City Chinese Medicine Association in their eyes?"
Meng Hongda was equally unyielding, looking at the elder and asking coldly.
"Although you, Meng Hongda, are the president of the Jiangbei City Chinese Medicine Association, you are currently at an auction. You can only represent yourself, not the Jiangbei City Chinese Medicine Association!"
"If it comes to treating illnesses and saving lives, I respect you to a certain extent. Unfortunately, this is about buying medicine with money. Can you afford that much?"
"Eleven billion, even if everyone from your Chinese Medicine Association pooled their resources, how much could they gather? I doubt they could even come up with a fraction of it!"
The elder sneered repeatedly.
"You..."
Meng Hongda's face turned purple with anger.
"Elder Meng, there's no need to waste words with him. Since they want to verify assets, let them!"
Lu Yang waved his hand, signaling Meng Hongda to step back.
"Sir, I apologize, but since someone in the venue has requested asset verification, we must comply with the venue's regulations and verify your assets. Please present your bank card for the eleven billion transaction!"
The beautiful hostess looked at Lu Yang helplessly and said. She was also curious if this young man could truly produce eleven billion.
After all, eleven billion was an astronomical sum anywhere.
Hearing everyone's pressing demands, Huang Heiniu stood up, ready to reveal Lu Yang's identity, but a warning glance from Lu Yang made him sit back down.
"Alright, since you want to verify assets, then verify them!"
Lu Yang smiled slightly and directly took out his black card.
"This card is good for any amount."
Lu Yang said with a smile.
"Haha, kid, you think you can just throw out a card and have eleven billion? Even if you're a scion of some prestigious family, you wouldn't be able to carry eleven billion around casually, right? At the very least, you'd call your family for help, and then someone from your family would bring the eleven billion, not you casually tossing out a card. I have even more reason to suspect you're just seeking attention and disrupting the auction!"
The elder sneered instantly upon seeing Lu Yang's nonchalant demeanor.
"If you don't believe me, you can try swiping it!"
Lu Yang, too lazy to explain, said faintly to the elder.
"Hmph, I'll let you put on a show for a few more minutes!"
"Verify assets immediately!"
The elder said impatiently.
Soon, two financial personnel walked up, holding POS machines to swipe the card, but when they saw the black card, they were instantly shocked.
As financial personnel, they naturally recognized the black card issued by Hua Country's Bank. There were only ten such black cards nationwide, each capable of an overdraft of ten billion. Eleven billion was nothing.
