Magic Doctor CEO Lady's Humble Husband (Fade Chen)
Chapter 966

Fade didn't say anything. He just shut his mouth and sat quietly on the spot.

At that moment, the auctioneer on the stage saw that no one else was willing to continue bidding. Thus, he slammed the gavel against the table and announced, "Four million, sold."

Immediately, the staff sent the Dinor Root to Fade, and he signed the necessary document for purchasing the herb.

Behind him, Calvin saw that scene, and he did not let it go. He continued to mock him, "A four million yuan tree branch, what a good thing it is! I would like to see how many cosmetics you have to sell in order to get that money back."

Meanwhile, other people around stared at Fade mockingly. Their gazes seemed to be saying that only a fool would be dumb enough to spend four million yuan on a useless root.

In the face of Calvin's ridicule, Fade didn't say much. He just snorted with disdain and said, "You're so shortsighted!"

"You..." Upon hearing that, Calvin became furious, but then he sneered and said, "Humph, President Chen, please don't vent your anger on us when you wasted your money like that!"

Fade didn't bother to reply to him. Instead, Otto staggered to Fade and said, "Mr. Chen, can you sell me half of this herb?"

"Sell half of it to you?" Fade was a little dumbfounded and he stared at Otto in surprise and said.

Otto said in a panic, "Just a quarter will do. I'm willing to pay. Two million. I'm willing to pay even three million."

Hearing those words, the people around them were surprised.

Especially Calvin and the others, they were puzzled at the moment. After all, Fade only spent four million yuan to buy the Dinor Root. However, right then, Otto was willing to spend three million yuan to buy only a quarter of the Dinor Root, which meant that that herb was worth more than 10 million yuan.

All of a sudden, there was a burst of discussion in the auction hall.

Calvin said, "Master Pai, are you confused? Three million yuan for a quarter, won't you suffer a big loss?"

"Yeah, Master Pai, if you want this herb, I can ask someone to help you look for it. You don't have to spend your money like this."

"Master Pai, don't be fooled by this kid. This Dinor Root isn't worth that much money."

Hearing the surrounding conversations, Otto's gaze swept through the crowd, he then clasped his hands together, bowed to them, and said aloud, "I understand that you're all trying to help, but this herb is very rare."

Calvin said in confusion, "Master Pai, I'm afraid you're mistaken. Even if the Dinor Root, a Black Level herb, is rare, it's not that hard to find! At the very worst, I'll help you find it later. You can buy it from me. It's still better than buying it from that brat!"

Everyone in the auction hall agreed with Calvin.

"Yes, Master Pai, stop acting like a fool."

"Master Pai, please don't be fooled."

They stared at Fade with fierce eyes and warned him.

"Mr. Chen, Master Pai is a good man from Jade City. Don't you take advantage of him and cheat his money."

"If you dare to act recklessly, we will never let you go." "Boy, know what's good for you, take the initiative

to sell the herb to Master Pai."

The clamoring made Fade frown.

Meanwhile, Otto quickly waved his hand and explained anxiously, "Everyone, stop talking. Mr. Chen didn't mean to lie to me. I'm the one that wanted to take advantage of him. I was in the wrong!" Upon hearing his words, everyone was puzzled. "Master Pai, this guy is too much. We know you're a kind person, but you still shouldn't help him."

Concurrently, Otto let out a deep sigh and said, "It's not what you think. The herb that Mr. Chen bought is not the Dinor Root."

"If that's not the Dinor Root then what is it?" Everyone asked in confusion.

Otto said, "This is a herb called Dragon Root. This herb belongs to the same species as the Dinor Root, but its nature and grade are different. The Dinor Root is a Black Level herb, and its value is about one million yuan. However, the Dragon Root is an Earth Level herb, and its starting value is more than twenty million yuan." "That is why I would like to buy a small part of Mr. Chen's Dragon Root. In fact, I'm the one who is trying to take advantage of Mr. Chen. Everyone misunderstood him."

As soon as Otto said that, everyone was surprised.

No one had expected that the value of that million-dollar herb would instantly increase by twenty times in the blink of an eye.

Fade had bought it for four million yuan. Originally, they thought that he was a fool, but they didn't expect that he had a keen eye and actually made such a huge profit.

For a moment, everyone changed how they perceived Fade.

This was particularly so for Calvin. It was hard to tell what kind of expression was in his eyes at that moment.

Just then, when he competed with Fade in the bidding, he was presumptuous and thought that Fade was tricking him, so he did not continue. However, he did not expect that Fade wanted that herb for real and even made a big fortune out of it.

Calvin felt aggrieved in his heart.

Meanwhile, he stared at Otto furiously and asked in an unkind tone, "Master Pai, since you know that this herb is not the Dinor Root, why didn't you tell me when I asked you earlier?"

What Calvin said was very rude.

Otto's face became dark, but he was a kind man. He explained immediately, "Rules are rules. I can't hurt others for my own sake. After all, in this auction venue, it's a bit similar to picking up the leftovers. Whether you can get something good out of it depends on your personal judgment."

After Otto finished speaking, everyone around him nodded immediately, and the way they looked at Calvin changed.

Calvin also came to his senses at that moment. He knew that what he had just said was a bit harsh. He coughed and changed the subject, "Master Pai, why do you urgently need the Dragon Root? Did anything happen?"

When he asked that question, Otto couldn't help but let out a deep sigh and said, "I need the Dragon Root to treat my son."

"To treat your son? " Everyone was shocked, "Damian fell sick? No wonder we haven't seen him in a very long time. Even the Otto Clinic has closed its doors."

"Damian is ill. Master Pai, have you taken him to the hospital to treat his illness?"

"Master Pai, you're a famous doctor yourself. Are you really not able to treat him?"

There was sadness in Otto's eyes as he said, "Damian's condition is a bit complicated. We have been to every single hospital, but none of them seem to be able to help. Although I can give him a prescription, it is very difficult to collect the herbs needed."

"I spent a few months collecting the herbs needed and I've pretty much collected all of them, except for the Dragon Root."

"You only need the Dragon Root! That's why you..." Everyone suddenly remembered that Otto was eager to bid for the Dragon Root...
