Omnipotent Mrs. Finn novel Chapter 79

The two entered one after the other, and once inside was a spacious hall with a number of display cases containing antiques of great value.

Levi seemed uninterested in all this and went straight across the hall to the inside.

Ruby did take a few more looks before following Levi inside.

With nearly an hour to go before the start of the auction, a number of people had already come by the time they arrived.

Levi's position was in the front row, and Ruby followed him there, receiving a lot of attention along the way.

"Among the things I heard about being auctioned today is the Marrow Cleansing Pill, which I heard people say is particularly effective in enabling people to live a long life after taking it."

"I also heard about the one that appeared two years ago. I heard that the buyer, who was terminally ill, was not only cured of all his illnesses after taking it, but also became more than ten years younger!"

"I've heard that it's like an immortal elixir, that you can't get sick after eating it."

......

There were quite a few people in the venue, and several people were talking to each other, not too loudly or too quietly, just enough for Ruby to hear.

Listening to what they said, the corners of Ruby's mouth twitched, very speechless at these rumours.

The Marrow Cleansing Pill only has a little bit of body strengthening function, which is not as exaggerated as they say.

"You came to the auction today also for the Marrow Cleansing Pill?" Ruby thought of something and went over to ask Levi.

The woman leaned in close, her breath teasing the side of his face, and Levi coughed before nodding, "Yes."

Ruby was silent and looked deeply at Levi, wanting to say something, but in the end she didn't say a word.

Forget it, she can't spoil it for Vincent.

Those who came to the auction entered one by one and soon filled the room, and it was time for the auction to begin.

A young woman in a red cheongsam stepped onto the auction stage with a seductive smile on her face, "Welcome to today's auction, without further ado, we will now proceed to auction the first lot of the day -"

At the sound of her voice, someone soon came up with a tray, covered with a red cloth, so it was not clear what it actually contained.

The host went forward to lift the red cloth, revealing the true face of the item inside: "This is the crown of the Queen of Y Country. The starting price is five million, with each increase of five hundred thousand, and now the auction begins -"

The corners of Ruby's mouth twitched vaguely as she looked at the red diamond-studded crown.

The people below have already started to raise their bids.

The crown is made of solid gold and is set with thousands of diamonds of varying sizes, especially the seven rubies in the centre, which are worth a great deal of money.

"Fifty million."

Ruby was lamenting the greatness of Vincent's skills when she heard the clear, breezy voice of the man beside her ring out.

She looked over with some surprise, not expecting that Levi would actually be interested in this.

In the end there was no doubt that Levi paid 50 million for the Queen's crown.

"Congratulations to this friend number seven, the owner of the Seven Leaf Lotus invites you to come backstage for a chat." The host looked at Ruby in a very respectful manner.

Ruby nodded, and a waiter had already walked over and led her backstage.

The auction continued, except that many people were a little distracted, prying into Ruby's identity, especially the few old men sitting at the back, looking at Ruby's back with faces full of excitement and thrill.

Ruby followed the waiter to the backstage, where only a pale man, wearing black clothes, was sitting inside, covering his mouth and coughing hard when Ruby entered.

Ruby knew from just one glance that this man's life would not be long.

"Are you serious?" The man coughed for a while, an unhealthy flush rising to his pale face before he looked up at Ruby.

When Ruby saw his features, she was stunned and did not react for a while.

This face actually resembles the deceased Nellie at some points!

Ruby could not help but look at him, her brow furrowed.

"You, why don't you answer me?" The man didn't wait for Ruby's response and coughed violently again.

The sound of coughing pulled Ruby back to her attention. She stepped forward, reached out and grabbed the man’s wrist, took his pulse, and her face grew more and more grave.

He had disease since he was born, plus he had not been well-treated and had been poisoned, so his internal organs were severely damaged and he had at most one month to live.

"Sure. Seven-leaf lotus for your life. I can cure your illness."
