Chapter 787: I Bid Ten Million!

Connor was dumbfounded when he heard Diana’s words.
He couldn’t help but turn his head to look at Diana, then asked softly, “Are you saying that this woman has bought all the herbs in Medicine Kings’ Valley?”
“Yes…”
Diana looked at Connor and nodded before continuing, “I just asked some of my friends here. Most of the medicinal herbs in Medicine Kings’ Valley were bought by Ruby, but I’m not sure why she bought so many medicinal herbs…”
“This woman is actually that rich?”
Connor subconsciously looked at Ruby with a surprised expression.
Connor could feel that Ruby’s background was not simple, otherwise, she wouldn’t have brought so many bodyguards with her. Also, he felt that the middle-aged man beside Ruby was not an ordinary person.
His strength should be even more powerful than Connor!
“Of course Ruby is rich…” Diana replied to Connor before continuing, “Ruby’s family is the largest merchant family in Salem. The Yandell family mainly deals in international trade, oil and minerals. Ruby’s grandfather was once ranked very high on the list of the world’s billionaires. In terms of assets, not many people in Oprana can compare to the Yandell family. Therefore, it is very normal for Ruby to spend so much money to buy these herbs. That shouldn’t be a big deal for Ruby and the Yandell family!”
After hearing Diana’s words, Connor nodded thoughtfully.
Although Ruby’s family was indeed very rich, it wasn’t enough to surprise Connor.
After all, no matter how rich the Yandell family was, they couldn’t possibly be richer than Connor!
“Also, this Ruby Yandell is also a business genius. She is only twenty-five years old this year, but she has already taken over most of the Yandell Family’s businesses. She is also a model in Salem, with countless admirers and fans.”
Diana looked at Connor and continued to introduce Ruby.
“I didn’t expect Ruby to have so many identities…” Connor could not help but sigh softly.
“If not for the Yandell Family, Ruby wouldn’t have been able to buy all the herbs in Medicine Kings’ Valley in such a short period of time. These herbs can’t be bought just because you have money!”
Diana felt that this Ruby was very difficult to deal with, so she introduced her to Connor in detail. She wanted Connor to know what kind of person Ruby was.
“Why is she buying so many herbs?” Carlos suddenly frowned and asked Diana.
“I’m not sure about that. I’ve asked the shop owners, but they didn’t know why Ruby wanted to buy so many herbs!”
Diana looked at Carlos and shook her head.
Connor subconsciously turned to look at Ruby, his expression calm. Connor had arrived a little late, which was why Ruby had bought all the herbs in the Medicine Kings’ Valley.
However, this was an auction. The rules of the auction were that whoever paid the most money would be able to win.
Therefore, Connor wasn’t worried about Ruby bringing him any trouble. After all, if they were to compete in terms of wealth, there weren’t many people in the world who were richer than Connor!
If the herbs that Connor needed really appeared in this auction, then no matter how much money Connor needed to spend, he would buy it. After all, it was not easy for him to come to here, and Connor did not want to return empty-handed.
Just as Connor and Diana were chatting, the auction officially began.
A beautiful host in a long white dress walked onto the stage elegantly.
After a few simple greetings, the auction began.
Because this was Medicine Kings’ Valley’s annual auction, the rules were very strict.
All the medicinal herbs that could appear in the auction had all gone through layers of screening, so there was no problem with the quality of the medicinal herbs. It all depended on whether you had enough money in your hands.
After the auction began, Connor had been paying attention to the situation on the stage.
The first auction item was a hundred-year-old Reishi Mushroom. The starting price was two million.
After the host announced the starting bid, the wealthy businessmen present began to raise their placards to bid!
Although Connor also needed a Reishi Mushroom, it had to be at least 500 years old. Therefore, this Reishi Mushroom was not among Connor’s goals.
After a fierce competition, the price of the Reishi Mushroom was finally raised to six million.
Because most of the people present were medicinal herb merchants, they were very knowledgeable about the price of the herbs themselves.
The 100-year-old Reishi Mushroom was priced at around six million at most. If they continued to raise the price, there would not be much profit. That was why these people stopped bidding.
However, at this moment, Ruby suddenly called out a bid of 10 million!
Before this, Ruby had not made a bid, but it wasn’t because she wasn’t interested in this Reishi Mushroom. Instead, it was because she wanted to wait until the final price was out before making the final decision. This way, Ruby would be able to save a lot of time.
“This Ruby is really rich. The Reishi Mushroom on the market is worth six million, but she actually bid ten million. What is she trying to do?”
Diana couldn’t help but glance at Ruby and sigh.
“Looks like she really needs these medicinal herbs, or she wouldn’t be so generous!” Connor replied.
Diana sighed helplessly and didn’t say anything.
The following auctions were basically dedicated to Ruby. No matter what herbs the host brought out, as long as they were over a hundred years old, Ruby would buy them at twice the market price.
Most of the people present were medicinal herb merchants. They did not buy these medicinal herbs for themselves, but for the sake of selling them in the future.
Therefore, they couldn’t accept Ruby’s way of playing. Naturally, no one would dare to compete with her.
And Connor had never encountered the medicinal herbs he needed, so he had never made a move.
“The next medicinal herb we are going to auction is interesting. Our auction house has found many famous masters to appraise it, but no one can identify what this medicinal herb is. Therefore, we need to test everyone’s eyesight!”
The beautiful host looked at everyone and smiled faintly. Then, she reached out and lifted the red cloth on the table.
