Chapter 757


    This time, he added 500,000 yuan right away as a means to intimidate Fade .


    However, he had miscalcted. Fade didn''t care about this mere sum at all. He frowned slightly and


    waved his hand casually, "6,500,000 yuan."


    "It''s no fun at all raising the bid little by little. Don''t bid if you don''t have money. After this, no matter


    how much you bid, I will raise it by a million!"


    His words caused the crowd around them to gasp. Although most of them who were present were


    rich, no one was willing to spend so much money on an ordinary herb from a stall. Moreover, Fade


    had said that no matter how much the elegant young man offered, he would raise the bid by a


    million.


    This was no longer a purchase, but throwing money extravagantly. For a moment, everyone looked


    at Fade in shock. It was hard to believe that a man dressed in ordinary clothes was thisvish.


    The young man was so angry he gnashed his teeth. He red at Fade, he even felt like making a


    bid to get back at Fade, making Fade pay at a much higher price.


    However, as he was about to bid, he was worried that Fade was just provoking him to ce a bid. If


    he ced a higher bid and Fade stopped bidding, this would detriment the young man.


    Although the young man was rich, he had his limits after all. He could not casually spend so much


    on this one herb.


    Thinking of this, the young man gritted his teeth and shot Fade a hard re. In the end, he turned


    on his feet and stormed off the stall.


    Finally, he withdrew from the bidding. The final price reached an unexpected 6,500,000 yuan.


    The vendor looked at Fade, waiting for him to pay. The rest of the people around also looked at


    Fade, seemingly curious to see if Fade''s piggy bank held water.


    Under everyone''s gaze, Fade handed his bank card over without a second thought and swiped the


    card on the vendor''s machine.


    Some onlookers with sharp eyes were surprised to see the series of numbers behind the bank


    card''s bnce on the machine. There were at least nine digits. That was to say, Fade''s assets were


    at least within the scale of billions.


    In turn, everyone viewed Fade in a new light. Disbelief was written all over their faces.


    Hugo, who had maliciously spected that Fade was a swindler just now, had a weird expression


    on his face. This was because, even if he was the Young Master Lei with a household asset of


    dozens of billions, he would not simply put a couple of billions in his card.


    Cherry''s parents were also bbergasted. They didn''t expect Fade to be an ultra-rich man!


    For a moment, Hugo stood still. He couldn''t say a word. He could only stare with a face of


    unwillingness and malice, "You have money, so what? You spent so much to buy an ordinary herb.


    You''ve been cheated. How could you still be hovering around in delight? Ridiculous!"


    Hearing this, Cherry''s parents seemed to have found a reason. They nodded as if they were


    comforting themselves and whispered among themselves.

    "Hugo is right. Even if you have money, you shouldn''t spend it like this!"


    "That''s right. At such a young age, he spent so much of his parents'' hard-earned money. He''s not


    being considerate of his parents'' circumstances at all. Tsk tsk!"


    Just as they were eximing, the vendor handed the Fire ze Ginseng to Fade. He then took out


    a herb that looked like a withered tree root and gave it to Fade. He said, "Young man, I''m thankful


    that you were willing to pay so much. I found this together when I dug out the ginseng. I''ll give it to


    you for free."


    As he spoke, the vendor handed Fade the herb that looked like a withered tree root.


    When Fade saw the herb in his hand, his eyes lit up. A trace of glee shed across his face.


    This was because the ordinary-looking root was an Icy Boehmeria.


    Boehmeria was a herbal medicine with a cooling effect, which was the total opposite of a nutritious


    ginseng. Like the Fire ze Ginseng, this Icy Boehmeria was a rare mutation. Its effect was much


    better than that of an ordinary Boehmeria. It was also extremely hard to acquire. Its value was not


    less than that of the Fire ze ginseng.


    The vendor said that the two were dug out at the same time, this would mean that the Icy


    Boehmeria and the Fire ze Ginseng were likely grown together. Herbs that were Yin and Yang


    that grew together had a better effect than what Fade would expect.


    If they were consumed together, it would have a better effect on specific illnesses.


    Thinking of this, Fade was delighted. He didn''t expect to get anything extra from buying the Fire


    ze Ginseng.


    After thanking the vendor, Fade stashed the two herbs away and was ready to leave.


    When the people around saw this, some were eximing, some were bewildered, and some were


    gasping. However, most of them couldn''t understand why Fade bought the ordinary-looking herb at


    such a high price. What was his intention? Or was he simply dumb and innocent?


    Just as everyone was shaking their heads in confusion, the elegant young man, who was about to


    leave, turned his head at thest moment and saw the withered tree root taken out by the vendor.


    At that moment, his eyes lit up. He also recognized at a nce that the withered root was no


    ordinary herb at all, but the extremely rare Icy Boehmeria.


    At the same time, he immediately realised that the ginseng that grew with the Icy Boehmeria was


    definitely no ordinary ginseng. It was very likely to be the precious Fire ze Ginseng.


    Both of them were so rare one could not find it easily even if he’ s rich. If anyone of them appeared


    on the market, it would easily cost more than 20 to 30 million yuan.


    But now, Fade had only paid 6,500,000 yuan to acquire both into his possession. The elegant


    young man was so envious his eyes almost popped out of his sockets.


    Seeing that Fade was about to pack up the herbs and leave, the young man immediately rushed


    over to block Fade''s path.


    When Fade saw himing over, he moved his eyes and said in a cold tone, "What do you want?"


    The young man looked at Fade and said, "Sell me your medicine!"


    Fade looked at him with some amusement and said firmly, "Not for sale."


    With this, Fade was about to leave. Seeing this, the young man was a little anxious. He stopped


    Fade and said, "Sell it to me. I''ll pay a high price!"


    "I said, not for sale!" Fade still refused coldly, "On a side note, do I look like I''m short of money?"


    The young man''s face fell. He quickly said, "I don''t want that ginseng, I just want that withered


    branch."


    Before Fade could refuse, he immediately said, "I''ll pay 2 million. Two million for that withered


    branch.”


    As soon as the price was announced and Fade was yet to speak, the people around him were


    already aghast.


    Especially Cherry and the others, who were not far from Fade, who this scene unfolded with


    incredulity. They couldn''t figure out why the young man was willing to pay so much money for a


    withered branch.


    However, although the price was excessive in their way, Fade still went on to reject it with an icy


    "not for sale".
