The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family
Chapter 3929

'If I can't bring back the pill, I shouldn't buy it for myself...'

'But I've finally won it and even offended Sir Jordan for it. To return home empty-handed is just... I can't accept this!'

While he hesitated and struggled to decide, Jasmine asked again, "Number 99, will you be making the payment?"

Carlson hesitated for a moment and finally decided to put his dignity away. He begged, "I beg you! Please give me a chance and let me have the pill! If one hundred billion US dollars isn't enough, I'll top up another fifty billion!" An additional fifty billion to his existing offer would make it three hundred and seventy billion US dollars in total.

Many in the hall were stunned. They wouldn't have dreamt of someone who could come up with three hundred seventy billion US dollars in cash! Who was this man?

Carlson knew he could not eat the Rejuvenating Pill himself. Otherwise, he would become a target for the rest.

He only had two choices, and both didn't look very good. Either he took the Rejuvenating Pill right there and then, or leave empty-handed.

He had to try one last time. If he could take the pill with him, it would be wonderful!

There was the possibility that he would be rejected. But if he didn't spend the money and ate the pill himself, then at the very least, he had done his best.

He might not have succeeded, but gave it his all. That was all that mattered.

Unfortunately, his staggering offer didn't tempt Charlie the slightest.

He instructed Jasmine through the walkie-talkie, "Jasmine. As per the rules, remove him from the hall at once!"

Jasmine didn't dare to disobey Charlie's order. She immediately announced, "In view of Number 99's repeated disobedience to the rules despite the repeated warnings, our staff will now escort him out of the hall!"

The crowd fell into a shocked uproar. No one expected the organizer to willingly give up an additional hundred and fifty billion US dollars just to uphold his principle. What tenacity!

Carlson was completely stunned, frozen on the spot from sheer shock. He couldn't begin to imagine the identity of the incredulous man behind the pill. The man didn't even blink at an additional hundred and fifty billion US dollars!

Several Ten Thousand Armies soldiers appeared to him to escort him out of the hall. One of them said coldly, "Number 99, please follow us out. If you refuse to comply, we will drive you out by force."

Carlson knew he no longer had the chance to take the Rejuvenating Pill home. He could only let out a long sigh and gave the soldiers a helpless nod of acceptance.

Carlson soon got up and left his seat.

Before leaving, he turned to Jordan not far away and gave the older man a sincere apology. "Sir Jordan, I'm so sorry for what I've done." After that, the two staff escorted Carlson to the exit.

The unexpected turn of events

d.ne

rekindled Jordan's diminished fire of hope. At first, he was unsure about the organizer's future auctions regarding the Rejuvenating Pill But with Carlson out of the way, hope had once again shone upon him!

Everyone watched as the dispirited Carlson was taken away from the hall.

They were shocked, but equally curious about the organizer's next move.

Jordan hoped they would reauction the Rejuvenating Pill.

In that case, he could win the pill with just a hundred billion US dollars. Even then, Bernard wouldn't be able to win against him.

However, things didn't turn out the

way he wanted. Once Jasmine received Charlie's instructions, she immediately announced,' Since Number 99 was disqualified from the auction for violating the rule, every bidder who has made a bid for this pill will have another chance to purchase according to their last bid amount."

She turned to Jordan and asked, "Number 3 5, your last bid earlier was two hundred and ten billion US dollars. You are the first waiting in line and eligible to purchase the pill. Are you willing to purchase the pill at this price?" Jordan was overjoyed. Even so, a businessman was typically driven by greed. He asked tentatively, "Number 99 has been disqualified from the auction. In that case, can we reauction the pill?"

With Carlson gone, Jordan was certain that no one else in the room was his opponent

He looked forward to Jasmine's answer.

Much to his dismay. Jasmine was firm. "No! If you give up your right to purchase the pill with two hundred and ten billion US dollars, we'll pass the chance to Number 1 6."

She then turned to Bernard, "Number

16, your last bid earlier was

seventy-two billion US dollars. You're the second-inline eligible to purchase the pill. If Number 35 gives

up his right, you'll have the

purchase it for seventy-two billion US dollars."

Jasmine then flashed a stern gaze to everyone inside the hall. "As I've always emphasized, money is not of the utmost importance to us! We value rules and fair play above everything!"
