Chapter 965


    Their bidding surprised everyone. Everyone stared at Fade and the elderly man with a puzzled look.


    After all, in their opinion, that herb was really not worth much. That so-called nutritious herb could


    be easily reced by some supplement; it was a useless herb.


    However, when they saw the two people who were bidding intensely, their expressions changed.


    Needless to say, Fade did not know who the elder was but that man knew very clearly who Fade


    was.


    The elder''s name was Otto Pai. He was an old, well-known Chinese Medicine Practitioner in Jade


    City. In thest two decades, he was quite famous in Jade City, but in recent years, due to the rise


    of poprity of western medicine, he gradually lost his reputation and poprity.

    Seeing Otto bidding for that herb, everyone whispered to themselves, "Is this herb really valuable?


    Otherwise, why would a well- known Chinese Medicine Practitioner like Otto be willing to bid so


    much for it?"


    Thinking of that, a lot of the big shot became excited and bid for it.


    "One point five-five million!"


    "One point six million!"


    "One point six-two million!"


    "One point seventy million!"


    Finally, after a bunch of bidding, a merchant bid it for one point seven million. Compared to the one


    point five million yuan from before, it was two hundred thousand yuan more.


    However, after the bid reached one point seven million, everyone stopped bidding for it. After all,


    everyone bid for it because they saw that Otto was bidding for it. No one was sure about the effect


    of that herb. Therefore, naturally, they would not continue to bid.


    However, Fade, who had been bidding all that while, was a little surprised when he saw the


    situation.


    He didn''t expect Otto to raise the bid. After being in a daze for a while, Fade didn''t continue to think


    much about it and bid again, "Two million!"


    The real value of that Dragon Root was at least twenty million yuan. Never mind two million yuan,


    Fade wouldn''t hesitate to buy it for twenty million yuan.


    Therefore, at that moment, Fade did not care about the prize anymore and raised the bid.


    Right then, the price was raised to two million yuan, which shocked everyone.


    Otto''s face darkened and there was a wave of hesitation on his face. He gritted his teeth and finally,


    he raised his trembling hand and said, "Two point two million."


    Otto increased the bid by two hundred thousand which really shocked everyone.


    After all, everyone knew Otto quite well, and his "Otto Clinic" was also a well-known clinic in Jade


    City. However, Otto Clinic had been operating at a low price for many years, and Otto often gives


    free treatments to the poor. Therefore, Otto didn''t have much profit over the years. His wealth


    couldn''t bepared to the other big shots there.


    Otto gritted his teeth and offered a price of two point two million, which made everyone mutter in


    their hearts. They were all guessing how valuable the Dinor Root herb was.


    At that moment, Fade also turned around and stared at Otto. He cupped his hands to him and said,


    "Master Pai, I''m sorry, but I''m determined to get this herb."


    After that, Fade directly bid three million.


    At that point, Otto looked disappointed. He then shook his head, and sat down.


    It was apparent that he could not continue to bid for a higher price.


    Meanwhile, everyone on the spot started to think. Some people had already gathered around Otto


    and began to ask him questions.


    "Master Pai, is this Dinor Root a precious thing? How much do you think this is worth?"


    "Otto, tell me the value of the Dinor Root. I can lend you some money to bid for it."


    Otto understood what they were thinking about. He shook his head and said, "I can''t break the


    rules!"


    Then, Otto closed his eyes and shut his mouth.


    Meanwhile, everyone had no choice but to be puzzled. Looking back and forth at the Dinor Root


    and Fade, they hesitated. They seemed to be considering whether they should bid for that herb.


    At that moment, Fade reminded the auctioneer to continue.


    The auctioneer continued the auction. Many people had their own assumptions, but they didn''t raise


    their cards to bid. After all, no one could be sure if the Dinor Root was really worth the money or


    not. They couldn''t just throw away a few million just because of an assumption.


    In such a situation, the auctioneer picked up the little wooden hammer and was ready to announce


    the result of the auction. "Three million, the third time, the final result is..."


    However, just as the auctioneer was about to set the value, Calvin, who was sitting behind Fade,


    suddenly raised his sign to bid, "Three point five million."


    As soon as he said it, everyone looked over and was stunned.


    Fade also turned his head; he found that it was Calvin who was bidding.


    Such expressions made Calvin feel delighted. He looked at Fade and said in a low voice, "Don''t you


    want the Dinor Root? I won''t let you get what you want."


    Hearing that, Fade frowned and paused for a moment, he then stared at Calvin and said, "Really?


    Then let''s continue."


    After that, Fade raised his card. "Four million!"


    The price was once again raised by five hundred thousand, surprising everyone again.


    Calvin frowned and looked at Fade with a serious expression. He was hesitating to continue the bid.


    Seeing that, Fade sneered and said, "What''s wrong with you, Young Master Chiang? Didn''t you say


    that you won''t let me get what I want? What''s wrong? You''re quitting after only bidding once? I''m


    not satisfied yet."


    His words immediately set Calvin off. He almost instinctively wanted to raise his hand to bid.


    However, at thest moment when he was about to bid, Calvin saw a smile shing across the


    corner of Fade''s mouth. He was shocked and he lowered his card immediately.


    At the same time, he looked at Fade and thought quickly.


    "On the surface, Fade seems to be determined to win the Dinor Root and it looks like he wants to


    compete with me to the end. I originally wanted to raise the price on purpose to let him spend more


    money."


    "However, he just said that he is determined to get the Dinor Root. If he is really determined to get


    it, why did he announce it publicly? Didn''t he just tell others what he is thinking and let others bid


    constantly to raise the final price of the auction? Such a result will only be harmful to those who are


    really determined to get it."


    "Hence, Fade is not determined to obtain this Dinor Root at all. Moreover, he deliberately insulted


    me just now and provoked me to bid again. This proves that what I was thinking just now was in fact


    true. He was simply pretending to be determined to win. Instead, he wanted to make use of this


    opportunity to provoke me and make me raise the price. After that, he would probably stop bidding


    and let me purchase trash at a high price."


    "Fade is such a cunning person. I almost fell for his trap."


    Thinking those thoughts, Calvin couldn''t help realizing something. He said to Fade while smiling, "I


    have already seen through your tricks. It''s not so easy to trick me."


    "Since you want the Dinor Root, then I''ll let you have it." Calvin waved his hand to Fade, and then


    put down his number card. He then said sarcastically, "Mr. Chen, you really are generous to spend


    4 million yuan to buy a root. I really can''t bepared to you! Haha!"


    Calvin''s attitude made other people who originally had the thought of bidding give up, and the


    limelight was on Fade.
