Magic Doctor CEO Lady's Humble Husband (Fade Chen)
Chapter 1397

Olaric paused for a moment before he slowly poured out the pill from the jade bottle into his palm. He narrowed his eyes to observe the pill, and the expression on his face became more and more serious. Then, he scraped out some powder from the pill and sampled it by placing the powder on the tip of his tongue.

Just then, his face began to change into different expressions. He frowned, grinned, and his facial muscles trembled, as if he had tasted something unusual. He tossed the entire pill directly into his mouth and savored the taste of the pill.

After a while, Olaric's eyes suddenly lit up in excitement. He stared at Fade and asked, "How... How did you make this pill? How did you do it?"

The corners of Fade's mouth quirked up as he said, "Olaric, can you tell me what is your judgment on the authenticity of my pills now?"

Manager Liu and Romeo looked at Olaric curiously, and their faces were full of expectation.

Olaric sighed. "This pill lives up to its name. It can indeed prolong a person's life. It may even be more effective than what Mr. Chen has claimed. If taken for several months, the pill may extend one's life by two or three years."

"Dr. Huang, is this true?" Manager Liu was intrigued.

As Encyclo Hall's manager, he knew exactly what the rich martial artists were seeking after-power, money, and strength. However, what they yearned for the most, was longevity.

The higher their status, the more afraid of death they were, and the more desperate they were to pursue longevity.

The medicine that Fade presented indeed had the effect of longevity and the results were significant. If they announced this information publicly, the rich and influential people in the entire Capital City would probably kill to get their hands on it.

Olaric was certain about the value of this medicine. He nodded excitedly. "Yes, it's absolutely true, I have tasted it. The technique used to combine the ingredients in this pill to achieve the effect of prolonging life is unique, even I have never thought of using it."

Fade crossed his hands over his chest and watched them with a grin on his face.

Olaric stood in front of Fade, bowed, and pleaded, "Mr. Chen, I'm sorry. I was blind."

Fade smiled and helped Olaric up. "You're too serious, Dr. Huang. In fact, I should ask for your forgiveness for provoking you earlier." "It's my fault. I am the one who should apologize," Mr. Huang sighed. "It should be me-" Fade argued.

Romeo couldn't stand watching them argue anymore. He chuckled and said, "Mr. Huang, Fade, now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, it's all good now. Please stop apologizing to each other! Mr. Liu will be worried to death."

Manager Liu rubbed his hands anxiously and approached them excitedly. He said to Fade, "Mr. Chen, how many nourishing pills do you have left? What's the price that you would like to auction it for? Do you have any concerns? Do you-"

Fade smiled and interrupted, "There is not much stock left. I only have ten bottles in total. As for the price, you may set it according to the market condition!"

"Only ten bottles!" Manager Liu thought it was unfortunate.

Olaric glared at Manager Liu and chided, "Ten bottles of this miraculous pill that can prolong one's life, and you still think it's too little? Do you think we are selling cabbage?"

"Yes, yes, I'm too greedy." Manager Liu smiled ruefully. "In that case, Mr. Chen, I will arrange the auctioning of the nourishing pills on your behalf. You can rest assured that you're going to get a good deal." "I trust your abilities, Manager Liu," Fade said, beaming in satisfaction.

Afterward, Fade and Romeo got up from their seats, intending to leave. Manager Liu and Olaric escorted them downstairs and waved goodbye to them reluctantly as they got on the car and left.

Three days later, Encyclo Hall's auction officially began. This time, Manager Liu took it upon himself to send someone to pick Fade up without waiting for a reminder from Romeo.

The auction was held in a theater which was huge enough to accommodate more than 500 people. More than half of the wealthy families in Capital City had attended the auction.

Fade saw some familiar faces as he walked into the theatre. Although he didn't know many people from Capital City, he still had some friends in the circle. When they saw Fade, they came over and greeted him.

Among the attendees were people from the Chung family, Dante from Dante Entertainment, Kaeran from Szeto Academy, and more.

Of course, his enemies were also there. He could feel the icy stares of his rivals stabbing at him as he walked across the theatre, their expressions obviously unhappy.

Fade scanned the place briefly and easily spotted the families and influencers that rivaled him.

There was the Ding Family, whom Fade had broken their legs before. The Ding family was involved in the logistics business.

There was also the Yang Family which had Leighton and Thomson whom he had just fought with. They were in the Martial Arts League.

As he was focusing on observing the attendees, two other families approached him. They were the Luo family and the Han family. He had complicated feelings towards both families.

He had a good relationship with Gentro Luo, and Johnson Han was Fade's subordinate in the Five Elements Squad. The two families were considered to be on good terms with him.

However, due to the incident that happened during the gathering in Siheyuan some time ago, Audrea Han and Sandra Luo were displeased with Fade and Joey.

Their tension grew when Joey's investigation involved the ancestral temple of the Luo family. As a result, they had a fallout. Although it didn't seem like a big deal, the Luo family had since held a grudge agains them.

That was the reason why the Luo family was coming towards Fade now. Their facial expressions were unusually hostile as they spotted him in the crowd.

Gentro sped up his pace and stepped forward to greet Fade, but Sandra stopped him from behind, "Brother, what are you doing! Fade has fallen out with our family. Why do you still associate with him?" "Sandra, what happened between our family and Fade was not that big of a deal. Why are you doing this? Besides, Mr. Chen is a powerful martial artist. Having him as a friend is a good thing for our family!" Gentro defended.

Sandra puffed her cheeks and objected, "Brother, everything you said is true, but that was before he offended Romeo of the hidden family. Since he has offended such an influential figure, it won't do us any good to continue to associate with him."

"But-" Gentro refuted.

Their argument was cut short as someone let out a warning cough. Beside him, Master Luo muttered, "The auction is about to begin, Gentro. Stop wasting your time and go arrange the seats." "Yes, Grandpa!" Gentro had no choice but to carry out Master Luo's orders. He shot Fade an apologetic look, lowered his head, and hurried past Fade.
