Chapter 1401
Dormer''s face darkened as he red at his granddaughter, then forced a smile and said, "Master
Huang, I''m sorry. The child is still young and immature. Please don''t take it to heart. The Luo family
has no opinions against Encyclo Hall."
"That''s good to hear!" ric snorted, then swung his sleeves and turned to leave.
There was absolute silence on the Luo family''s side. Everyone stared at each other with a heavy
expression, and they didn''t know what to say.
Especially Dormer. There was a grave expression on his face, and his hand which held the jade
bottle trembled.
Barton and others quickly put in good words as soon as they noticed Dormer''s reaction, attempting
tofort him.
"Dad, it doesn''t really matter whether this medicine is Fade''s or not. It doesn''t affect us as long as
the medicine is effective."
"Yes, it''s just spending more money, isn''t it? That amount of money is nothing to our family."
Not only did their words fail to cheer Dormer up, but they angered him even more. The muscles on
his face twitched, and his lips curled into a snarl.
After all, the Longevity Pills were originally intended as a gift for the Luo family from Fade, and he
could have gotten them for free. But now, he had spent over 200 million yuan for only a bottle.
A sense of remorse rose in his heart as he thought about how the tables had turned.
Barton seemed to have read Dormer''s mind. He edged closer to his side and whispered in his ear,
"Dad, there''s no need to regret it. Compared to the money you spent, offending the Hsing family is
the bigger problem."
Dormer''s face rxed a little at the mention of the Hsing family.
Fade had offended Romeo and the hidden family. The Luo family was smart enough to break off
their ties with Fade, so they managed to escape the great misfortune that was about toe down
upon Fade. With that in mind, the matter of the Longevity Pill was not so upsetting anymore.
The auction carried on. Countless expensive and precious items were auctioned one by one,
arousing everyone''s enthusiasm for the auction. The price of the items also increased as the crowd
grew more excited.
Fade, too, had spent over 300 million yuan to buy a precious medicinal herb, which was worth it.
All the items were auctioned off one by one, and finally, the long-awaited moment had arrived.
Manager Liu stood up and announced, "The final item for the auction today is a single consultation
session with Encyclo Hall."
"The reserve price of this item is fifty million yuan, and the minimum increment for each bid will be
fifty million. The bidding starts now!"
Although the reserve price and the starting price were extremely high, everyone was already
mentally prepared for it. Therefore, none of them felt surprised, and there were no objections. The
crowd fell into a heated discussion immediately.
Many of them exchanged their views on the price and the item, but not many were involved in the
bidding.

It was not like many people could afford the price anyway. Besides, they were less willing to pay
such a high price for only a single session.
"Five hundred million yuan!"
"Five hundred and fifty million."
"Six hundred million yuan."
The price continued to rise. When the price hit 800 million, there were only two or three bidders left.
Looking at the current situation, Fade knew that it was his time to act. So, he raised his bid card and
yelled, "Nine hundred million yuan."
Due to his unique identity as a VIP guest, his participation in the auction attracted plenty of
attention. Everyone''s eyes were on him, as were the few of hispetitors.
One of thepetitors hesitated for a moment before finally shaking his head and lowering the bid
card in his hand.
Anotherpetitor, a proprietor with a huge protruding belly, thought for a moment and raised his
bid card. "One billion yuan."
Fade raised his card again without hesitation. "One billion one hundred million!"
The other man seemed to have noticed Fade''s determination. He lowered his bid card after
hesitating and saluted to Fade. "Congrattions, Mr. Chen."
Fade sped his hands and nodded to the man, then looked at Manager Liu, who was standing on
the stage.
Manager Liu nodded and raised the mallet as he announced, "One billion one hundred million yuan,
first calling! Is there anyone else who wants to challenge the bid?"
"One billion one hundred million, second calling. Last chance for anyone else who would like to bid
for the item."
"One billion one hundred million, third calling! I hereby announce—"
"Wait a minute!" Just as Manager Liu was about to announce the auction result, a clear voice
resonated in the hall.
Suddenly, everyone''s attention was drawn to the source of the voice as they all turned around to
look at the person curiously.
A man who looked about 27 or 28 years old stepped into the hall, and all eyes were on him
instantly. He had a handsome face, eyebrows that were shaped like two swords, and eyes that
shone like stars. Dressed in a in white robe, he looked neat and clean, like an elegant prince
who walked out from a fairytale. His appearance became the primary attention in the hall.
"Who is that? He''s so handsome!"
"He looks so young. Does hee from a powerful family?"
"Even if he is from a powerful family, he did not abide by the rules. I don''t think it''s a good idea to
interrupt the auction."
Amidst the whispers of the curious guests, Manager Liu spotted the man. He looked equally
surprised, and his eyes flickered. "Faxon-Young Master Chiang is here. Invite him to his seat," he
ordered immediately.
As soon as he uttered Faxon''s name, everyone in the hall burst into an uproar and fell into a deep
discussion.
"Faxon, isn''t he the top genius in the Martial Arts League?"
"That''s him. The second ce on the Dragon List."
"I heard that Young Master Chiang has an exceptional background. It seems like he might be
rted to the hidden family."
"What is Young Master Chiang doing here? Does he also want to bid for something?"
Fade couldn''t help but nce at Faxon a few times when he overheard the people''s discussion.
Faxon walked straight to the front row and nced at the seat he was brought over to by the
servant. He did not sit down. Instead, he went directly to Fade and looked down at him.
Fade raised his head and stared back at him, unflinching.
Faxon stared at Fade for a while and noticed Fade''s challenging posture. He said, "Encyclo
Hall''s consultation session is mine this time."
Fade frowned at his statement. He was determined to win this consultation, and Faxon''s arrogant
attitude made him upset.
He responded coldly, "I''ll take it instead."
"You don''t seem to understand what I just said. I said the consultation session is mine," Faxon
repeated, his tone serious.
Fade snorted and stared right into Faxon''s eyes. "If you want it, then bid for it. Don''t pretend like you
can afford it if you don''t have money."
"You-" Upon hearing Fade''s words, Faxon raised his perfectly shaped eyebrows and red at him.
"Very well, I''ll remember you now."
He turned around and looked at Manager Liu. "I bid one and a half billion yuan."
Manager Liu''s face froze in disbelief, then he looked at Fade apologetically.
Fade dipped his chin to signal to him that it was all right. Then he narrowed his eyes at Faxon and
said loudly, "One billion six hundred million yuan."
