Chapter 621


    The audience burst into an uproar.


    Guffaws of disbelief and surprise echoed the halls.


    "What?! Who is it?"


    "400 million dors?! That guy must be seriously rich!"


    Everyone started to discuss amongst themselves.


    Maria was stunned. When she had finallye back to her senses, she eximed out loud, "400


    million dors! The guest from private room number 16 has bid 400 million dors! Is anyone willing


    to go higher?"


    Once she said that, the hall fell absolutely silent.


    "No one''s going to bid more, right? They can''t possibly bear to do so!"


    After all, this was all for a mere ginseng nt!


    Meanwhile, in the private room.


    Indeed, it was Chuck who bid the 400 million.


    He needed the ginseng to cure his head injury! He had to obtain it no matter how much it would


    cost.


    "Hubby, I think the other person''s trying to one-up you," Yvette said unhappily.


    She believed that the other person had done this on purpose.


    Chuck shook his head a little dismissively, showing that he did not care much even if that was the


    case.


    ck Rose spoke up from her corner, "Well, there are a lot of wealthy people in this country as


    well."


    Chuck nodded in agreement.


    To the truly wealthy individuals, bidding a few hundred million or even tens of billions of dors


    would not be a problem. It was merely a spare change for them.


    Everyone in the hall was silent with anticipation.


    "800 million dors!"


    This voice that rang out sounded incredibly indifferent.


    This dumbfounded everyone that was present.


    They couldn''t believe that the price was still rising!


    And to 800 million dors?!


    Was this ginseng Immortal Exilir? Even if it was, 800 million dors was too much.


    The price was already unbelievable.


    Of course, the person who bid 800 million dors was Loomis.


    He was just entertaining himself now. After all, he was a member of a hidden family. No one could


    possibly outbid him.


    On this Earth, the only families that couldpare with the Yeager family were the other two hidden


    families.


    Every other family was trash.


    Wi felt a little taken aback by the development of things. She felt something tapping into her mind.


    However, she did not know what it was trying to tell her.


    "You want to pay that much for a simple ginseng?" Wi asked.


    "That''s right," Loomis answered firmly.


    "But it''s..."


    "I will do everything I can to pursue what I like. For example, since I like you so much, I''m willing to


    do my absolute best to gain your affection," Loomis smiled.


    Wi shook her head at that, remaining quiet.


    "800 million dors! To the guest from the first private room! Absolutely incredible! Does anyone


    want to bid higher than 800 million dors?" Maria announced.


    There was no way anyone else would bid higher.


    It was already too much for mere ginseng.


    Hence, there was no way the guest from the 16th private room would bid higher than that.


    Everyone in the hall looked at each other in dismay.

    It had gone extremely quiet.


    However, just when everyone thought that the auction would end just like that, a voice rang out like


    thunder and said, "1 billion dors!"


    Chuck had decided to bid again.


    He had to get his hand on the ginseng!


    Silence ensued.


    It was as if everyone had been put on mute.


    A few secondster, the audience was ovee with waves of shock.


    "Goodness! Did someone actually bid 1 billion dors?! Did I hear it wrongly?"


    "I heard it too! Who on earth are these people?"


    "Indeed, they must be super rich! Buying ginseng for 1 billion dors? How absurd!"


    The others muttered to themselves in shock.


    "What?! 1 billion dors!" Maria eximed, losing her calmposure.


    It was an unbelievable price.


    Inside the private room, Loomis furrowed his brows and let out a coldugh.


    "Is there anyone else who would like to bid? Anyone?" Maria announced once more.


    "2 billion dors!" Loomis imed calmly.


    His voice was not loud, but it was enough for everyone else to hear him. The crowd was hysterical.


    Everyone was in utter disbelief.


    The price had actually doubled!


    Chuck''s heart sank. 2 billion dors?


    "Hubby, Auntie instructed us to buy it, no matter the cost," Yvette reminded him.


    That was what Karen had said after all.


    With a nod, Chuck immediately went and bid 2.5 billion dors.


    It felt like a dream.


    All the guests were confused beyond belief. Were they even hearing this right?


    Loomis chuckled once more, feeling slightly delighted. It has been a while since someone had


    challenged him like this.


    He stood up, his interest finally piqued. Wi, on the other hand, looked out in confusion. The


    private rooms were all made of a one-way mirror, so she could see the situation outside but no one


    from the outside could see inside. Her gaze strayed towards the 16th private room...


    Wi really wanted to go peek in there.


    However, she did not know why she felt this strong need. She had gotten up from her seat


    unconsciously and made her way to the private room to satisfy her curiosity.


    ''What? 3 billion dors?" Karen was shocked when she heard the news of what was currently


    happening at the auction.


    It was just ginseng after all. 3 billion for it was absurd!


    "Yes, that seems to be the case," Betty confirmed.


    She was equally surprised by the turn of events.


    "Who''s the other bidder?" Karen asked, curious. Of course, she knew that there were a lot of rich


    people in the United States. However, very few would spend so much money on ginseng.


    Who on earth could it be?


    "I''m not sure. Just like the Young Master, there is no way for us to infiltrate the private room..." Betty


    really wanted to check but there was no way she could do so.


    Of course, this meant that nobody else would be able to find out about Chuck''s whereabouts as


    well.


    It ensured that their identities were kept secret this way.


    Karen promptly took out her phone and gave Chuck a call.


    "Chucky, no matter how much it costs, make sure you get the ginseng..." "Oh, how interesting. You


    mentioned that Wi had been saved by someone from the Yeager family?" Adriana questioned,


    sitting on the sofa leisurely.


    "That''s right. Our men have informed me that they have saved a dying woman, which I presume is


    probably Wi. I''ve even heard that she had lost her memory when she hit her head..." Nelson said


    cautiously.


    He had just received the news moments before. He had even sent a few of his men to search


    around the ce where Wi fell, but they weren''t able to recover any clues. Therefore, he had


    hired someone to spy on the Yeager family for more information.


    "Loomis Yeager? The one who wanted to pursue me before? I suppose he must have fallen in love


    with Wi. How interesting," Adriana smiled.


    "Didn''t you want to kill her?" Nelson asked. Since they now knew where Wi was, it was not


    difficult for him to find a way to kill her.


    "Isn''t it more interesting now? Didn''t you say that Wi lost her memory? Someone like Loomis will


    definitely take her situation to his advantage. He''ll n to trick her into submission, which would be


    perfect! Once Chuck sees how Wi has been used by other men, he will have no choice but to cut


    off his feelings for her," Adriana said with a smile.


    She did not expect to receive such news today. It sort of cheered her up.


    "You''re right, Miss. How brilliant!" Nelson ttered her.


    In this way, Chuck would definitely be disappointed.


    "What other information do you have? Apart from memory loss, what else happened to Wi?"


    "Loomis has started deceiving her. He seems close to sess as I''ve heard that his father is ready


    to have them married off," Nelson exined in detail.


    "Oh? When are they getting married?" Adriana asked.


    "I''m not sure, but I think it''ll be soon..." Nelson gave his opinions.


    "Soon? Loomis has been a yboy all his life. His father must want him to get married so he can


    settle down faster..."


    "You''re right. However, I don''t think outsiders would be privy to the wedding though," Nelson


    reminded Adriana. Since it was a hidden family''s wedding, no one else would be qualified to attend


    the ceremony aside from the other two hidden families.


    If that were the case, how could they get Chuck to know about this?


    "Chuck''s not an outsider though. I''m nning to get him married into our family soon, so I can just


    bring him along to their wedding! I am part of a hidden family after all... When Chuck sees how Wi


    has been yed by other men, he''ll definitely lose his faith in her and be in despair! By then, I will


    be by his side and offer himfort. He''ll definitely fall in love with me after and marry into the


    family," Adriana said, smilingzily as sheid out her n.


    She was right. Once Chuck started to make a big fuss at Loomis and Wi''s wedding, she would be


    the only one capable of saving him from the detrimental consequences.
