Bjorn staggered. He pointed at James and bellowed with rage, “Who the hell are you, kid? Why are you going against me?”
James smirked. “I’m just a nobody. I did say that the highest bidder can have the King of Ginseng. If you want it, just raise the bid.”
Hearing the exorbitant price, Thea quivered in fear. She pulled at James and gestured for him to stop.
However, James was undaunted.
“Fine, whatever.”
Bjorn was so enraged that he smiled. He extended his shriveled arm and pointed at James, “Take it if you so desperately want it. I certainly hope this herb will extend your life span.”
He uttered in a threatening tone.
Everyone could see he was enraged.
James was doomed.
Bjorn stopped raising the bid.
Christine had been watching from behind the auction block and remained silent.
However, she had secretly informed Jay, who was in Cansington.
After hearing about what was happening, Jay immediately tapped into the surveillance cameras at the venue. Upon witnessing the scene, he immediately ordered, “Christine, since Thea wants the thousand-year-old ginseng, just give it to her for free.”
Hearing this, Christine froze.
She secretly contacted him.
“No way… The bidding price is five hundred million, grandpa. How can we just give it for free?”
“Listen to me.”
“Alright.”
Christine dared not disobey his orders.
Seeing that no one else made any further bids, she looked at James and said with a smile, “Since no one else’s making a bid, this thousand-year-old King of Ginseng will belong to Mr. Caden. However, I’d like to announce that we at Herbal Biotech have decided to present it to him for free.”
Hearing this, the crowd was stunned.
For Free?
The crowd fixed its gaze on James.
Who was this ordinary-looking man? Why would Herbal Biotech give such a precious herb to him for free?
James smiled slightly.
He had expected this.
He knew that it would surely attract Jay’s attention if he made a bid.
That was because Jay Fallon went by another identity. He was also Jake Graham, the boss of the underground intelligence network.
Jake knew who James was.
