However, what happened next shocked the auctioneer and everyone present.
There was no limit to their shock, only more shock.
It seemed like Sylvia had a bone to pick with the Gentry family as the bidding for Healing Herb kept climbing higher and higher.
From one million to two million, it skyrocketed to five million in the end.
"What did they say? Five million?"
"Isn't it fifty thousand?"
A man murmured in disbelief while those around him couldn't close their mouths or keep their eyes from popping out. "It's really five million! Buying a useless weed for that much money? This plant doesn't have any significant value."
"Yeah, what's Abrus precatorius anyway? I've never even heard of it."
"These two are crazy, right?"
"Is Healing Herb hard to come by?"
The people under the stage were discussing fervently.
Casey was so angry that his face turned red and his neck thickened. He felt like Sylvia was doing this on purpose and he was so furious that he felt pain all over his body.
But he couldn't swallow this anger. He snatched the sign from Carmelo's hand directly. "Six million!"
"Young master..." Carmelo jumped in fright. "We can't add any more; if we do..."
Although Blood Medical Sect was quite wealthy too, they had spent a lot of manpower and resources on refining those two detoxification pills. They were still working on making new ones too; therefore taking out six million or nearly ten million at once would be somewhat difficult for them.
Sylvia didn't even blink her eyes as she said, "Seven million."
"Holy shit!"
"So rich! Adding one hundred thousand after another like they're just paper bills instead of actual money?"
"Eight million!" Casey added another one hundred thousand again.
He glared at Sylvia who remained calm nearby with red eyes full of fury. He was a medical genius from the Gentry family; he couldn't die nor could he perish away!
Healing Herb which should have been obtainable with just one-million dollars has now been snatched away by this woman named Sylvia who came out of nowhere!
Could he not be angry?
No matter what price needs paying, he must get hold of this herb!
He lost all rationality as his gaze fixed onto Sylvia who stood calmly not far away despite being extremely beautiful.
So what if she looked pretty?
Anyone who dared stand in his way would die!
He could not find words strong enough to describe how much hatred he held towards her right now.
This woman is going too far!
What is she trying to achieve by stealing Healing Herb when there are so many other precious treasures available?
Why does she insist on fighting him over something as worthless as Healing Herb?
Sylvia also felt that there was something wrong with these two people of the Gentry family. The Gentry family was from the Blood Medical Sect, and they had all kinds of precious herbs. Why were they so fixated on the Healing Herb?
Healing Herb had no other use besides its effect on the Abrus precatorius.
She didn't want to waste any more time with the Gentry family, so she held up a paddle lazily and said, "10 million."
10 million!
The whole room was in an uproar.
10 million wasn't a small amount for just one little herb.
Who was this woman? How could she be so rich?
Casey's face turned pale. He opened his mouth to add more money, but Carmelo stopped him. "Master Casey, 10 million is not a small sum. Let's think of another way."
"Uncle Carmelo, but if I get this Healing Herb, we will have hope!" Casey's eyes turned red as tears threatened to spill out of them.
But he swallowed them back down.
"I know that," said Carmelo sympathetically. "But if we use all our funds to buy it and your father finds out... we might encounter other Healing Herbes in the future that won't cost us 10 million."
Carmelo couldn't bear to look at Casey anymore and turned his head away.
Casey let out a long sigh and sank heavily into his seat without saying another word. The Blood Medical Sect may have been wealthy, but their funds were tied up at present - coming up with 10 million cash would be difficult for them right now unless they sold some assets...
