The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family
Chapter 1205

After Zeke bid 1.1 billion, Graham felt that he should raise the bar too, otherwise, he would lose this precious chance to obtain the Rejuvenating Pill. Thus, he gritted his teeth and said, "Since Mr. White has already bid 1.1 billion, I offer 1.2 billion." 1

Travis didn't mind the competition though. He was richer than Graham and Zeke combined, hence, it didn't make much difference to him even if it was 1.2 or 1.5 billion. He was determined to win the Rejuvenating Pill, so he said flatly, "If so, I'll go straight to 2 billion." 7

The hall was rocked by the echoing sound of the audiences' gawking.

The auction price had increased from 1.2 billion to 2 billion! This was simply the most incredible and the most expensive auction anyone had ever seen. 1

What was it like to have 2 billion dollars? If your monthly allowance was 10 million, you would have the same amount of allowance every month for 17 years. 7

If you deposited 2 billion into the bank with an annual interest rate of 5%, your annual interest alone would be 100 million dollars, which meant that the monthly interest was more than 8 million.

This was simply an unimaginable figure for ordinary people like you and me, but for billionaires like Travis

whose net worth was tens of billions of dollars, 2 billion was nothing more than one-thirtieth of his assets. 6

Travis had worked hard all his life to earn more money, and for what? He had built his fortune so that he could enjoy his life-to live a better and comfortable life. So to him, spending 2 billion dollars for a Rejuvenating Pill was worth every penny of it.

Thus, when he offered the price, he did not feel any regret or distress at all.

Zeke and Graham, on the other hand, couldn't help but feel the exact opposite of how Travis felt now.

Behind these two men was a large family. Their direct and collateral relatives added up to dozens of people, which meant that they had dozens of mouths to feed, i

Let's take Graham as an example. The Quinton family's assets were less than tens of billions of dollars, and it did not belong to him alone. He could offer the price of 2 billion for the bidding of the Rejuvenating Pill if he desired, but his money would not be enough, and he would have to use some of the family's money.

This move would not please his family since there was only one Rejuvenating Pill and he couldn't share it with all of them.

Thus, he surrendered and said, "Mr. Lane, you are truly extraordinary, I'm impressed." 7

Zeke was no better than Graham. In fact, the White family's financial status was weaker than that of the Quinton family. 6

Moreover, the White family had suffered a great loss when Gerald and Kevin had offended Charlie, and the consequence was losing the chance to collaborate with the Emgrand Group. 7 Therefore, the White family could not outbid 2 billion and had to surrender as well.

Travis was relieved when both his strongest competitors in this auction backed off, but he was not pompous about it nor did he express his joy visibly. He shook Zeke's and Graham's hand before saying in a modest tone, "Brothers, thank you for not competing with me. I'll come to your place to thank you personally in the future!" 2

Zeke and Graham replied very humbly, "You're too welcome, Travis. You are too extraordinary that we are not on par with you." Everyone watched their harmonious exchanges in awe and marvel.

A Rejuvenating Pill with a starting price of 150 million dollars was auctioned off at 2 billion dollars thanks to the active involvement between the three of them, but even when Travis had won the auction, they could still converse in such a peaceful and serene tone.

They displayed the generosity and humbleness of a prominent family. It was indeed a great example for everyone. 7

After their conversation, Travis turned to Charlie and said respectfully, "Master Wade, since there is no one offering a higher price, I believe I am the winner of the auction of your Rejuvenating Pill." 5 Charlie nodded lightly, handed him the pill, and said, "If so, the Rejuvenating Pill is yours!"
