The Almighty Dragon General novel Chapter 313

Chapter 313

“Wow! Is this the thousand-year-old King of Ginseng?” “I can even smell its fragrance from here.” 

“Legend has it that it has an extremely high medical value and can be used to cure all illnesses by combining it with other high-quality herbs.” 

The crowd was heated in their discussions. 

Upon seeing the ginseng, James had a satisfied look, “Not bad. It’s indeed a thousand years old. I never expected to see such a precious herbal medicine in a bustling city like this.” Though Thea did not know anything about medicine, she was nevertheless stunned upon seeing such huge ginseng 

Christine spoke behind the auction block, “This thousand-year-old King of Ginseng was bought by my grandfather eight years ago by a pleasant coincidence. Ever since then, it’s been the signature treasure of our shop. I believe everyone here today has heard that its starting price is a hundred million. Thus, the bid increment cannot be less than a million dollars.” 

Hearing this, the crowd gasped. Although these were affluent people, they were still shocked by the exorbitant price. 

A hundred million dollars was simply too much. 

They believed it was not worth it to spend a hundred million dollars on ginseng, even if it was the King of Ginseng 

“Everyone!” 

At that moment, an elderly man at the very front stood up. 

James’ curiosity was piqued. “Tell me more about it.” 

Thea explained, “The art of medicine has been around for five thousand years. There had been many medical associations before Jay Fallon established the Doctor’s Association. Though the Doctor’s Association established by Jay Fallon has been acknowledged as the mainstream, many prideful doctors refused to join. So, they created an association of their own. Bjorn was one of them. He’s nicknamed the Doctor of Wonders and is the representative of the non affiliated school.” 

James scratched his nose. 

He never expected that the world of medicine would be this complicated. Many of the filthy-rich were here today for the thousand-year-old King of Ginseng. 

However, before the bidding had even started, Bjorn, the Doctor of Wonder, stood up and announced the thousand-year-old King of Ginseng was his. They knew of Bjorn. Not willing to offend a man with advanced medical skills, they gave up on the idea of bidding However, James could not care less It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. How could he miss it? Besides, presenting the King of Ginseng as a gift would earn Thea respect among the Hills.

“A hundred and one million.” James raised his bidding card. His voice reverberated across the venue. Hearing this, everyone fixed their gazes on James. They were looking forward to witnessing a spectacular scene. Bjom had announced the King of Ginseng as his. Who was this guy? How could he bid? Was he going against Bjorn?
