Charlie smiled and said, “Oh, so you’ve heard of the Rejuvenating Pill. You heard about it from my uncle, right?”
“Your uncle...” Merlin was stunned for a moment, then Charlie’s self-introduction when he had just woken up suddenly dawned on him, and he blurted out, “It was indeed Christian who told me about it...”
Charlie nodded and asked with a smile, “Since he mentioned the Rejuvenating Pill to you, he must have also mentioned that the organizer kicked him out of the auction for the Rejuvenating Pill, right?”
Merlin’s eyes widened in shock as he blurted out, “How... How did you know that?”
“Of course I know.” Charlie said with a smile, “Because just like the Regenerating Pill, the Rejuvenating Pill is also mine. I was the sponsor behind the auction, and I was the one who asked people to kick him out of the auction.”
Merlin was appalled and blurted out, “Why did you kick him out when you knew that he is your uncle?”
Charlie said indifferently, “When I kicked him out, I didn’t know his real identity. He was using an alias at that time.”
Having said that, Charlie said again, “However, I would still have kicked him out even if I had known that he was my uncle because he broke the rules that I set. Before the auction started, I repeatedly emphasized that whoever wins the bid for the Rejuvenating Pill must take the pill on the spot and that it absolutely cannot be taken away from the site. However, he had to challenge my rules with his money, so I could only get my people to kick him out.”
Merlin could not help but sigh as he asked in a low voice, “In that case, does that mean I truly didn’t die?!”
As he thought of this, he asked again, “I have another question. If you’re indeed Ashley’s son, you clearly know your own identity and background, so why haven’t you acknowledged your grandparents’ family for so many years?”
Charlie smiled faintly and said, “Why? Are you still questioning my identity now?”
