Charlie waved his hand dismissively and flashed a grin.

“Miss Gray, anyone who wants this medicine cauldron has to start with a price tag of ten billion dollars, and I want the money upfront.

Capital verification comes first, so if you don’t have ten billion dollars in cash, don’t bother asking.”

Serena was taken aback by Charlie’s demand.

“Ten billion dollars? Mr. Wade, do you think money grows on trees? Do you even know how much ten billion dollars is?”

Charlie’s smile didn’t falter as he replied, “Of course I do.

In fact, ten billion dollars is just the starting price.

You need to have ten billion dollars upfront for us to even discuss the matter.

As for the final amount, there is no upper limit.”

Serena thought Charlie was being intentionally difficult and lashed out at him, “Mr. Wade, I’m trying to do business with you in good faith.

Is it really necessary for you to make things so difficult?”

Charlie raised his hands in surrender and replied, “Since Miss Gray thinks I’m being difficult for no reason, let’s just end this discussion.

I kindly ask that you not bring up the matter of the medicinal cauldron again.”

Serena was taken aback by Charlie’s refusal to sell her the medicine cauldron.

She was used to getting what she wanted, given her wealthy background and status in the Mystic Harmony Sect.

Even the dogs raised by the sect wouldn’t dare to snarl at her, let alone stare her down.

But Charlie was a different story altogether, and she found it hard to accept his rejection.

Frustrated, she asked, “Mr. Wade, why won’t you sell me the medicine cauldron?”
