From A Prisoner To A Big Short’s Inheritor

Chapter 123

“I am giving you this best Saffron as a small return for the Dewey family’s investment in the Santos Group,”

Leonard said to Cherry.

Cherry felt a bit at a loss.

That was worth 20 million dollars.

But when she saw Leonard’s gaze, she hesitantly nodded, feeling a hint of touch.

She thought, “Could it be that he likes me?”

Cherry’s cheeks instantly turned rosy.

Meanwhile, Brian gnashed his teeth on the other side as he stared at Leonard with a cold smile.

“This person is a fraud. How could he come up with 20 million dollars? Just wait. He’ll soon get his legs broken and be thrown out by King Pharmacy’s people…”

Before he could finish speaking, Natalie, dressed in a white suit, appeared in the auction hall, and her pleasant voice resonated through the speakers.

“I personally gift this best Saffron to Mr. Leonard Santos. I hope Mr. Santos won’t refuse my goodwill.”

The whole crowd was shocked upon hearing Natalie’s words.

Leonard’s initial bid of 20 million dollars for the Saffron had already amazed everyone. Still, now, the heiress of the King Pharmacy was giving away the best Saffron worth 20 million dollars to Leonard.

Although the actual value of the Saffron to King Pharmacy was only four hundred dollars, its symbolic significance was extraordinary.

Only someone exceptional could make King Pharmacy spend money to cultivate a relationship.

Even Brian from the Morris family might not be able to achieve that.

On the other side, Brian’s face had turned red. It seemed as though someone had given him a hard slap. He muttered, “How is this possible? He’s just a braggart and a fraud!”

Avery beside him also wore a look of disbelief.

“That guy keeps claiming to be from the Santos family in Newden City. Could it be true? Could it be that the heiress of King Pharmacy was also deceived by him?”

At this moment, Natalie had already walked up to the auction platform and said, “Next, we will proceed with the final auction item. It is a Miraculoberry with a time of five hundred years.”

As soon as she uttered those words, the expressions of many people in the venue changed.

If the Miraculoberry Natalie mentioned was the same as the one recorded in ancient texts, then this auction item was truly amazing.

After a few seconds of silence, the hall erupted into a frenzy of noise.

Natalie continued, “The Miraculoberry could possibly be the legendary Soul Fruit. The King Pharmacy cannot be certain. However, its medicinal effects definitely surpass those of Ginseng of the same age.

“Starting bid is 20 million dollars, and each subsequent bid must not be less than two million dollars.”
