From A Prisoner To A Big Short’s Inheritor

Chapter 122

Leonard and Cherry walked into the most prestigious VIP room. Cherry followed Leonard closely, looking proud.

“It’s a pity that the VIP Hall is divided into separate private rooms. Otherwise, I would love to show that despicable woman, Avery, that it’s not only Mr. Morris who can access the VIP Hall.”

Cherry thought to herself.

Although Natalie was in charge of organizing the auction this time, she had been staying in Leonard’s private room. She only left when the auction was about to begin.

A few minutes later, Leonard and Cherry entered the auction hall and casually found a seat.

Soon, the first item, a Ginseng, was presented.

It had taken approximately a hundred years to grow and was sold for a high price of 600 thousand dollars.

Leonard’s expression remained unchanged. While such high–quality Ginseng was precious, it could be bought as long as one had the money. He didn’t necessarily have to buy it at the auction.

The second auctioned item was a Reishi, starting at a price of 160 thousand dollars.

However, as soon as it was presented, Brian raised the bid by 200 thousand dollars, acquiring it for 360 thousand dollars.

“That person is said to be the heir from the Morris family in Imperial City.”

“The Morris family? No wonder he is making such powerful moves.”

Many people whispered among themselves.

People from the Morris family, who hailed from Imperial City, naturally carried a sense of superiority in Newden City.

Since Brian walked in, he had attracted the attention of many.

Avery, who was sitting nearby, was particularly pleased with herself.

“The next item up for auction is a medicinal herb that can drive ladies crazy, the Best Saffron.

“Saffron is known for its ability to invigorate the blood and dissolve stasis, and it is believed to have antioxidant, anti–inflammatory, and antidepressant properties. Its flowers are vibrant red in color. Saffron is widely used for culinary and medicinal purposes. Only the dried stigma of the flower is used in medicine, and each flower only contains a few stigmas. Additionally, saffron must be hand–harvested throughout the entire process. It takes approximately five hundred flowers to obtain just one gram of saffron. This is why saffron has been extremely expensive from ancient times to the present day.”

“After the King Pharmacy obtained this Saffron, many celebrities in the fashion industry were willing to pay a high price for it, but I refused to sell.

“The starting price for it today is two million dollars, with each bid increment not less than 200 thousand dollars.”

As the host finished speaking, the eyes of numerous women in the hall lit up.

“It seems that the allure of beauty is truly attractive for women.”

Leonard thought to himself.

“2.6 million dollars.”

Brian was the first to bid.

For Brian from the Morris family, two million dollars was not a big sum of money.

It was worth it for him to use it to impress women.

As expected, after Brian raised his paddle, Avery next to him nearly collapsed into his arms, her coquettishness.
