Magic Doctor CEO Lady's Humble Husband (Fade Chen)
Chapter 964

Fade didn't care about how other people looked at him. He headed directly to his seat and sat down with Lily and Nita.

As soon as they sat down, everyone was surprised.

It was due to the fact that their seats were in the very first row.

It was well known that those seats were usually reserved for VIPs, and it turned out that Fade, an outsider, was in the VIP's seat. Quite a number of people in the crowd frowned upon seeing that. Some people even went and complained to Cooper.

However, how could Cooper entertain those people's requests after knowing Fade's real identity? He said forcefully, "The seats have been arranged and it can't be changed anymore. If you are dissatisfied, you are welcome to leave the auction at anytime."

Everyone was even more surprised upon hearing Cooper's reply.

Calvin, who was sitting a row behind Fade, was one of them.

As the young master of the Chiang family, Calvin's status in Jade City was constantly at the top. Even though he was only in his twenties, he was already sitting in the second row with the other big shots so it could be seen that he was the real deal.

As a result, he could not accept the fact that Fade, who was younger than him, was sitting in the row in front of him.

Calvin became gloomy and furious upon comparing himself to Fade and thinking of Fade's conflict from before.

However, at that time, Fade didn't notice that Calvin was behind him at all. Instead, he was having fun chatting away with Lily and Nita.

Seeing him like that, Calvin was even more enraged.

After all, he was sitting next to two middle-aged, bald and fat men, while Fade was sitting next to two gorgeous women. He got jealous when he compared his situation to Fade's.

At that moment, the auction began. Cooper went up to the stage and briefly explained the rules and regulations of the auction.

After that, a professional auctioneer went on the stage and the auction officially began.

The first auction of the day was a painting from the Qing dynasty, which was very well-preserved.

Quite a number of people took a liking to the painting, and they were willing to bid for it. After an intense bidding session, a big shot in the antique industry bought the painting for three million.

The following auctions were about things like calligraphy, pottery, and jade jewelry. Although they were considered quite precious and rare, Fade was not interested in them at all. Hence, he did not participate in the bidding.

One by one, the items were being auctioned. Along the way, some people went on the stage to auction their own collections, which made the atmosphere quite lively.

However, all of that had nothing to do with Fade. He didn't raise his hand to bid at all.

Just as Fade shook his head in disappointment, the next item was placed on the table, which made Fade's eyes lit up. It was a withered yellow herb that looked like the root of a tree; it looked very inconspicuous.

Some people even started to whisper and gossip when they saw that item being put up for auction.

"What's this? A piece of tree root? How could this be on the auction? What a joke."

Whose item is this? Who would even want to buy this kind of stuff? Such a waste of money."

"Haha, who would want something like this? No one is going to bid for it, let's just move on to the next item."

Hearing their disdainful words, Fade smirked and whispered to himself. "A group of idiots. They don't even know what the Dragon Root is, yet they still dared to talk nonsense."

That Dragon Root was an Earth Level herb, and it was worth at least ten million. More importantly, if that Dragon Root was combined with the Fire Blame Plant, it would increase the effectiveness of the Fire Blame Plant. It would become more effective in healing Quin's disease that was caused by the Ice Lotus.

Therefore, as soon as the Dragon Root was placed for auction, Fade decided to bid for it.

Meanwhile, the auctioneer on the stage also introduced the Dragon Root to the people, saying, "This is a precious herb called the Dinor Root. It has the effect of reducing the heat in our body, and also nourishes the organs. It can be made into tea or used to make soup. It can be said that this is one of the best herbs for nurturing your body. This Dinor Root..."

Upon hearing that, Fade couldn't help but let out a smile as he thought to himself, "It looks like the owner of this Dragon Root doesn't know what a valuable item he's holding. The Dragon Root is an Earth Level item but they mistook it as a Dinor Root, a Black Level item. This would cost them several hundreds of millions of loss."

"Since they don't know how precious this item is, I can buy it at a low price." Fade grinned.

Meanwhile, many people were already getting impatient. They couldn't help but shout at the auctioneer, "Isn't it just some nourishing herb? There's no need to introduce it. Just start the bidding!"

The auctioneer's face changed slightly and a strange look flashed across his face. However, he immediately recovered his posture and said, "The base price for this Dinor Root is one million. Each bid will increase the price by ten thousand. The bidding will begin right now."

"One million for an earth-grade herb, it's totally a steal," Fade whispered under his breath and was about to raise his hand to bid for it.

However, the atmosphere at the scene was a little awkward at that moment. That was because not a single person bid for it after the auctioneer announced the lowest bid. Compared to the previous items, the atmosphere then was very cold.

Seeing that, Fade suppressed his urge and deliberately waited for a while. He only bid when the auctioneer began to ask about it.

When the auctioneer saw that someone had finally bid for it, his face lit up, and he said: "Number one buyer, bid one million. One million, is there a higher price? This is the Dinor Root. Black Level herbs are extremely rare..."

After a round of introductions, a slightly older elder who was sitting in a corner raised his card and said, "One point one million."

Finally, someone bid for it. The auctioneer couldn't help but be overjoyed, he asked, "The 95th buyer bid it for one point one million. Is there anyone who is willing to bid higher?"

As he spoke, the auctioneer's gaze turned towards Fade. It was obvious that there were only two people bidding for that herb.

Fade initially wanted to buy the herb with the base price, but he didn't expect that someone would actually bid for that herb. However, he didn't care about that meager amount of money, he didn't hesitate and raised the bid immediately, "One point two million."

"One point two million, number one buyer bids for one point two million. Is there anyone willing to bid a higher price?" The auctioneer looked towards the elder.

The elder hesitated a little, then continued to bid, "One point three million."

That time, before the auctioneer asked, Fade bid directly, "One point four million."

The elder's expression changed. He hesitated for a moment, and a trickle of sweat ran down his forehead. In the end, he gritted his teeth and said firmly, "One point five million!"
