Chapter 403
Chapter 403:
Craig nearly choked on his own breath at the figure. The herbs, even if made of gold, couldn’t possibly be worth that much, could they?
Yet, now locked in a personal duel with Ashton, Craig quickly retorted with an even higher bid, “Then I’ll offer 1.4 million dollars p>
Without hesitation, Ashton upped his bid again, saying, “1.5 million dollars p>
As the bids soared, the prices reached a level that began to daunt Craig.
It was merely a birthday gift, an annual event. How could he justify spending millions on a few herbs?
Craig’s frustration grew, suspecting Ashton was merely driving up the price to trouble him.
Craig was on the verge of pulling out of the deal while Ashton was determined to end the bidding.
Aware of the herbs’ worth, Ashton presented his final bid, saying, “My final offer is 3 million. If you can top that, I’ll step down p>
Craig was left speechless.
Three million dollars for mere leaves? Ashton must be out of his mind!
Craig couldn’t hold back his astonishment, exclaiming, “Are you serious? You’re actually ready to spend that much for these herbs p>
Ashton responded with a composed nod. The other party was oblivious to the genuine value of these herbs, whereas he was well aware. Though they appeared as mere attractive plants, their actual value was enormous.
Securing these herbs would not only speed up Selena’s healing but also allow for the creation of refined medicinal pills. Even the remaining herbal dregs could be processed into potent pills highly sought after for their healing properties, well exceeding the cost of 300,000 dollars for each pill. These herbs were undeniably worth the 3 million-dollar investment, and their value would surge once Ashton acquired them.
Craig was clearly unaware of these facts. To Craig, it seemed Ashton had simply lost his senses.

“Alright, you’ve got guts, but I’m not stupid enough to get baited into this. 3 million for a few herbs? You handle that deal on your own!” Craig scoffed and bowed out of the bidding.
He felt a twisted sense of satisfaction and continued to taunt, “Just don’t come back saying you were just bluffing to outbid me and now can’t cover the cost. I want to see how you manage that p>
Yet, as soon as Craig finished speaking, Ashton produced a black gold bank card and handed it over to the vendor, promptly completing the purchase in full.
The vendor shivered with excitement as he accepted Ashton’s bank card. Upon verifying the 3 million balance, he felt like he was walking on air.
Craig, who had been watching, felt utterly humiliated, having expected to revel in Ashton’s misfortune but instead becoming the butt of the joke.
Despite his frustration, Craig couldn’t cause a scene due to Ashton’s connections with Abrial and Rosalie. Fuming, he stalked away, grinding his teeth.
