The guardian's sword by Taking Cigarette novel Chapter 1898

Just then, the third auction item finally took the stage.

The item was special. It was not common jewelry or treasure, nor was it an antique. It was a set of 30 books.

Keith on the stage picked up the books and showed them to the guests.

“Everyone, these 30 books are the legacy of Midwich’s miracle doctor, Albus Humphrey. Dr. Humphrey wrote down all his medical knowledge in these 30 books during his twilight years and gave them to his son as heirlooms. But Dr. Humphrey’s son faced some trouble and needed money, so he asked the Harris family to put these 30 books up for auction.”

Hearing this, the guests in the audience frowned and looked a little impatient.

Books about medicine?

They sound impressive, but who would want them?

Chyntia sitting between Valentina and Gabe, was intrigued as his eyes lit up slightly.

Keith on stage put the books down and said, “These 30 medical books aren’t being auctioned separately. They’re being sold as a set. Bidding for the books starts at two million dollars, with an increase of not less than fifty thousand dollars every time!”

No sooner had Keith said than Chyntia grabbed the auction paddle on the armrest and prepared to bid.

The guests present discussed disdainfully.

“Dr. Humphrey was famous when he was alive, but selling two million dollars for 30 books is a scam!”

“We don’t need it. We’re not bidding for it!”

“Whoever wants it can have it. I’m not interested!”

It seemed almost no one present was interested in these 30 medical books. That way, Chyntia could get it at a low price.

Chyntia instantly frowned. Gabe and Valentina also looked surprised.
