Chapter 427
Olivia was worried that she had heard wrongly. She turned to Huntley, who was sitting on the sofa. “What did the auctioneer say just now?”
Huntley was also excited.
The Golden Voodoo King. This was the Golden Voodoo King! All the voodoo worms listened to the Golden Voodoo King’s orders. With the Golden Voodoo King, no matter the worm, whether Chunjot or Chunlot, they all had to listen to the Golden Voodoo King’s orders.
She clenched her fists. Her palms were covered in sweat, and her voice was trembling. “Ms. Taylor, if there’s a 60% chance of the voodoo incense drawing out the voodoo worm in Mr. Smith’s body, then the Golden Voodoo King must have a 100% success rate of that.”
“Really?” Olivia felt something in her chest surge up. Her heart felt like it was about to leap out.
“Really!” Huntley nodded repeatedly.
After getting an affirmative answer, Olivia felt unsteady on her feet and stumbled. Daniel was the one who went forward to support and hand her a glass of water. He said in a low voice, “Don’t get so worked up. Steady now.”
Extreme joy and sorrow were both harmful to Olivia’s body. Daniel was worried that she was too emotional and would not be able to breathe properly.
Olivia nodded and suppressed the tears in her eyes. She took a deep breath and finally calmed down.
She had waited and waited, and now she had found a solution.
Grandpa was finally saved.
At the thought of her grandfather, the tears that Olivia had tried so hard to suppress streamed down her face again. She buried her head in Daniel’s shoulder for a long time.
The auction officially began.
The appearance of the Golden Voodoo King was like a drop of water falling into a pot of boiling oil. Immediately, it practically ignited the atmosphere at the venue and caused a stir. It made everyone go crazy in an instant.
There were all kinds of crazy bids. In just half an hour, the price soared to 200 million dollars.
Olivia wrung her hands and paced around the room. Seeing that the price was still rising, she bit her lip and turned to Captain Chavez. “Contact Mr. Book. I want to borrow as much gold as possible.”
Captain Chavez nodded solemnly and quickly contacted Mr. Book. After a
moment, he said happily, “Miss Taylor, Mr. Book has already prepared gold and
it’s been transported to Wayne Country. That’s 600 million dollars!”
Olivia was elated. “That’s great.”
Then, she turned to Daniel. “Daniel, when will Ellis arrive?”
Daniel looked at his phone. “He’s already here. The gold has been deposited in a local bank. There’s a total of 800 million dollars. He’ll be here soon with the stub.” 600, 600, and 800 added up to a total of 2 billion dollars. That was enough! “Tell the others that we must win the bid for the Golden Voodoo King!” After giving the order, Olivia sat on a chair and waited anxiously.
In Room 303, Alexander sat on the sofa with a worried expression. He did not expect the Golden Voodoo King to appear. This thing was the nemesis of all voodoo worms. With it around, the Grant family’s Great Nourishment Pill would lose its effect.
If others bought this item and used it to deal with the Grant family, they would suffer a huge loss.
He looked at Damian. “How much gold did we bring?”
Damian frowned. “Mr. Alexander, we came in a hurry this time and weren’t prepared to bid for it. I only brought forty million dollars in spare gold.”
40 million dollars?
Alexander’s expression was cold. It was barely any money. What could he do with such a small amount of money?
He was panicking.
Bettany did not understand the importance of the Golden Voodoo King to the Grant family, but when she saw how nervous Alexander was, she also panicked. She wanted to go forward and comfort him, but she took back her hand just after she raised it.
She didn’t know anything. How could she comfort him?
She felt dejected.
Her gaze
fell on the room opposite theirs, and she suddenly thought of Olivia. If this were Olivia, what would she do?
She would probably sit on the sofa indifferently and tilt her head slightly to think of a suitable solution.
That woman had always been smart.
Bettany sat on the sofa and imitated Olivia. She said calmly, “Alexander, the person opposite us is Olivia. Would she be determined to get the Golden Voodoo King?”
Alexander’s heart skipped a beat. Oh, right. He had almost forgotten about Olivia. Seeing that what she said was working, Bettany continued, “Alexander, we can wait
for Olivia to bid for it. After she bids for it, we can think of a way to snatch it.”
Alexander’s eyes lit up.
Damian also turned to look at Bettany. He did not expect her to be so clever. However, she had a poor character and was a classic ingrate
