Queen of Wild Cards novel Chapter 617

The next day.

Stella and her bodyguard arrived at the auction venue. After presenting her invitation, they were smoothly escorted inside.

The first round of auctions held nothing she was interested in, so she simply watched the proceedings with mild boredom.

Her real focus was on the second round.

Once the first batch of items was completely sold off, the second segment began.

The host took the stage. "We are now entering the second round of our event. However, this is not a traditional auction. Today, our organizing committee has introduced a bold innovation—

A live clinical challenge! This was mentioned in the prior notices. However, in order to qualify, a participant must not only possess exceptional medical expertise but must also wager a highly valuable pharmaceutical product or rare medicinal herb of their own. Anyone can enter.

Aside from the pre-registered participants, we are also accepting walk-in challengers from the audience right now. Allow me to outline the rules for qualification."

Stella watched the host, mentally rolling her eyes. The notice had framed it as an exhibition match, but now it was a high-stakes challenge?

Still, she actually preferred these rules, especially when the host added: "If you covet any specific medicine or herb on display today, you may challenge its owner. The winner takes the opponent's wagered item."

That made things incredibly simple. She could directly challenge the representative from Rubinia Country and walk away with the Ametrine Herb.

She signaled her bodyguard to approach the stage and submit her Aeterna Pill as her wager.

"Excuse me. This is one Aeterna Pill. My young lady wishes to enter the live challenge."

He handed a small, exquisite box to the host.

Stella had instructed him to refer to her simply as 'young lady' while they were here.

The moment the words 'Aeterna Pill' echoed through the hall, the crowd erupted into a frenzy.

Two years ago, a single Aeterna Pill had been auctioned off for ten million, and it had never been seen on the market again.
