The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 160


    “So close, yet so far. I am almost there, though.” She started jumping around like an energetic maniac,


    running toward Alex and kissed him suddenly.


    Brittany was initially in her room on the second floor but came out after hearing Waltz’s voices. She just


    saw the scene unfolding in front of her eyes as she looked down from the helical staircase.


    Gently shaking her head, she retreated into her room.


    …


    Alex headed to the auction of precious medicinal herbs by himself at half-past five. The auction was


    held in the form of a cocktail party on the highest floor of California’s Splendor Center.


    He entered the auction hall without any hups after mentioning Michelle’s name at the entrance.


    At this moment at the entrance of Splendor Center, a group of young men and women were chatting


    among themselves as they entered the building. Among them was a youngdy in a white dress, she


    was Alex’s sister-inw — Beatrice Assex.


    The other three were the ones that Alex saw back at the car dealership days ago: Mona Weiss, Wilson


    Jordan, and Sam Culver. The four of them were a little coterie.


    Dressed smartly in a suit, Wilson took a few nces affectionately at Beatrice as he bragged, “The


    auction of precious medicinal herbs this time is the most prestigious auction in South California. I heard


    that the items that will be put up for auction tonight are tonics, which are worth at least a million dors,


    and many century-old medicinal herbs that can hardly be found in the market.”


    “Why?” Mona asked as she flitted her fakeshes while looking at Wilson.


    The look of adoration and secret admiration in her eyes were unable to be concealed.


    However, Wilson liked Beatrice instead.


    Seeing Beatrice’s curious expression, Wilson continued, “It’s because medicinal herbs like the century-


    old ginseng and Ganoderma are extremely rare items. Over the years, humans have been excavating


    them, so they are nearly extinct. Even if they are discovered asionally, they will be seized by the


    rich and powerful people, and they will not be sold in the market at all. Therefore, don’t ever trust those


    so-called century-old ginseng sold in pharmacies, they are nothing but fakes.”


    Mona looked at Wilson adoringly. “Wilson, you are so knowledgeable.”


    Wilson smiled humbly and looked at Beatrice, he found that she did not seem to pay much attention to


    their conversation.


    “Okay then, let’s go in. There is a buffet inside and it serves Australian lobsters!” said Wilson. “Don’t


    you like Australian lobsters, Beatrice? That’s why I got myself a few more entrance tickets to the


    auction from my uncle. These are not something that ordinary people can get a hand on.”


    Beatrice’s eyes lit up at the mention of lobsters. “Thank you!”


    Sam asked, “Wilson, what does your uncle do?”


    “He is the manager of Splendor Center. This auction this time could be said to be mainly arranged by


    him.”


    The four of them entered the building.


    After showing the entrance tickets, they entered the auction hall smoothly.


    It was a crowded venue, with plenty of people socializing, chatting, eating, and such. Wilson did not


    forget to remind, “There are a lot of VIPs tonight, please behave yourselves and don’t get into trouble.”


    And then, they went straight to the buffet.


    Alex was there too, hungrily devouring an Australian lobster.


    He was now famished as he was previously upied with concocting chakra pills and helping both


    Brittany and Waltz strengthen their cultivation base. Furthermore, the lobsters looked delicious and


    tantalizing, so he quickly gobbled them up without scruple.

    Beatrice, who was holding a dining te, went straight for the Australian lobsters. However, she was


    greeted with a miserable sight of a few leftover heads and tails. Next to her was a man brazenly


    devouring a te of lobster meat, which was filled to the brim.


    “What a glutton!” Beatrice was irritated but she could only remain silent and curse secretly.


    After all, she could not afford to offend anyone here because of her identity.


    However, as she looked toward the man and he turned his head at the same time, she was


    dumbfounded in disbelief, with her mouth agape after their gazes met. “What, it’s you? Why are you


    here?”
