Under the heiress facade

The items auctioned at Astral Nova were all rare treasures. Mass-produced items that could be manufactured on a production line would never appear at the auction.

As soon as Samson finished his words, the figure behind the folding screen stood up, seemingly about to walk away.

Hera calmly remarked, "Does this mean that the items auctioned at Astral Nova lack quality assurance? The Eclipse Stone and century-old gurdyroot used in this pill were both obtained from Astral Nova." She knew that once her paper was published, someone would try to grab the commercial patent, particularly Camille, who had been using her name to treat patients indiscriminately.

The fraudster would now be anxious.

This was the outcome Hera aimed for, to make her opponent stumble first.

Samson hesitated at Hera's words. He had indeed discovered that the patent was registered by a pharmaceutical company under Chime Corporation. However, he was instructed to say so. Glancing at the reflection on the screen, he said, "All items auctioned by Astral Nova come with assurances."

Hera glanced at the silhouette on the screen and said, "In that case, this medicine can't be mass-produced unless Astral Nova can provide me with the Eclipse Stone."

Samson found it amusing. The Eclipse Stone was a rare treasure that couldn't be easily obtained. The most recent discovery in nearly a century had already fallen into Hera's hands. "Since the grandmaster isn't serious about the deal, I'll have to find another buyer," Hera said as she gestured to Samson to return the item.

That left Samson thoroughly perplexed.
