The Luckiest Dumb Doctor-Chapter 536 - Summer Bugs Cannot Speak of Ice_1

Chapter 536: Chapter 536 Summer Bugs Cannot Speak of Ice_1

The venue was quiet, the sound of only two people bidding, one after another, resonated back and forth.

The auctioneer had completely lost her function as the two bidders did not need her guidance – as soon as one bid, the other was certain to follow.

Soon, the price of this Xuan Yin herb had risen from one hundred thousand to eight million.

The crowd on-site couldn’t help but feel nervous for the two, as if it wasn’t Greg Jensen and Norman Davis who were engaged in the bidding war, but themselves.

Samantha Adams knew that someone like Greg Jensen wouldn’t go all in just to win a battle of egos. He must have a reason for doing this.

On the other hand, Robin Hayes’ expression had changed from initially calm and composed to increasingly tense.

...

His sword-like eyebrows were slightly furrowed, hesitating, unsure whether to stop Norman Davis.

At this moment, Norman Davis was also filled with struggle.

Just now, Greg Jensen had made another bid, pushing the price of the Xuan Yin herb to nine million.

If Norman Davis continued bidding, the price of this Xuan Yin herb would break ten million.

This was miles away from his idea of “donating a few hundred thousand.”

If his father found out that he donated these ten million just because of a rivalry, his father would undoubtedly skin him alive.

Theresa Locke watched Norman Davis’ conflicted face and couldn’t help but feel a sense of sweet revenge.

He raised his eyebrows and asked with a sly grin, “Yo, young master Davis, didn’t you say you had to take the Xuan Yin herb home today?

What now? You don’t want it anymore? Hurry up and make a bid, or brother Jensen will get it.”

After speaking, he turned to the auctioneer and said, “Hey, isn’t time up? What are you waiting for? Announce the result of the auction!”

“Oh, right… sure.”

As if waking from a dream, the auctioneer opened her mouth and was about to announce that the Xuan Yin herb belonged to Greg Jensen, when Norman Davis suddenly stood up, angrily shouting, “Ten million, I bid ten million!”

Whoa!

The scene immediately burst into an uproar.

Everyone thought the price had already reached ten million and didn’t expect Norman Davis to continue raising the stakes so fiercely!

Norman Davis was quite pleased with everyone’s reaction and looked at Greg Jensen smugly, “Kid, you think you’re capable, don’t you? Keep bidding!”

“I think this kind of bidding is meaningless. How about this, we raise the stakes by at least five million each time.”

To the Divine Doctor, the Xuan Yin herb might not be worth much, but for Greg Jensen, whether it was ten million, a hundred million, or even a billion, he was willing to buy it.

Besides, he was not short on cash now.

Stirring trouble was too cumbersome, if money could solve the issue, then money it would be – and this feeling wasn’t too bad.

Spend a little money, and get to see his opponent lose face – why not enjoy it?

“I bid fifteen million.”

Greg Jensen looked calmly at Norman Davis, “Now, it’s your turn.”

Norman Davis’ eyes were full of struggle, and he found it difficult to make a choice.

Greg Jensen smirked teasingly at the auctioneer, “It seems young master Davis has lost interest in the herb. You may announce the result of the auction now.”

The auctioneer subconsciously glanced at Norman Davis and, seeing no reaction from him, began speaking, “Fifteen million for the first time, is there anyone else who would like to bid?”

“Fifteen million for the second time, fifteen million…”

“Twenty million!”

Suddenly, a loud shout resounded through the venue.

Everyone turned around and saw that Norman Davis had a livid complexion, veins popping out on his forehead, his expression somewhat ferocious, as he glared with bloodshot eyes, fixating them on Greg Jensen.

Robin Hayes urgently said in a low voice, “Have you lost your mind? The Xuan Yin herb isn’t worth that much!”

Norman Davis glanced at him, turned his head without saying a word, and stared at Greg Jensen, “Twenty million, now, continue!”

“Norman Davis!”

“Robin Hayes, no need to say more. I can’t let an outsider make a fool of me on my own turf.”

Norman Davis once again looked at Greg Jensen, mocking him, “Come on, aren’t you incredibly rich?”

Greg Jensen said indifferently, “Thirty million!”

“You…”

The color drained from Norman Davis’s face; he had been prepared. As long as the other party bid twenty-five million, he would call out thirty million.

If that brat Barry Wolfe wanted to raise the bid, he would rather lose face and make the other party pay for it.

Paying thirty-five million for a Xuan Yin herb, burying him, the ultimate sucker!

However, Greg Jensen didn’t play by the rules; he straight out bid thirty million, leaving Norman Davis dumbfounded.

Hesitating for a long while, he suddenly changed his expression, pretending like he had succeeded in his scheme, and said:

“Kid, since you like this Xuan Yin herb so much, I’ll let you have it.”

After speaking, he sighed and added, “When I donated this Xuan Yin herb, I was thinking about buying it back.

I never expected Mr. Barry Wolfe to be so generous. Such a small Xuan Yin herb, and he donated thirty million.

Come on, let’s give Mr. Barry Wolfe a round of applause.”

The crowd knew he was putting on an act and deeply despised him.

Just now, he was bragging, saying he would definitely buy back the Xuan Yin herb, but now that he saw someone else bid too high, he chickened out.

What an act!

But, despite the disdain, the people still cooperated and started clapping.

Over a hundred gazes simultaneously focused on Greg Jensen, filled with mockery and sympathy.

“After all, he’s young and impulsive; he got scammed, didn’t he?”

“If he got scammed, he deserves it. A young man doesn’t even understand that the strong dragon can’t suppress the local snake; it serves him right to suffer a loss.”

Hearing the discussions around him, Greg Jensen was unfazed and turned to look at the host, saying indifferently, “Can the auction be declared successful now?”

The host finally came to her senses, smiling brilliantly, “Congratulations to Mr. Barry Wolfe for winning the Xuan Yin herb with a bid of thirty million.

Furthermore, Mr. Barry Wolfe is also the highest bidder of this event; he will receive the title of our brand ambassador.”

Brand ambassador?

Forget it.

Greg Jensen wasn’t interested in such honors and swiftly paid up, taking the Xuan Yin herb in his hands, and only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.

The host was overjoyed, as the auction goal had been set at thirty million, and even ten million would have been acceptable if the target wasn’t met.

Unexpectedly, just for one Xuan Yin herb, the goal was reached outright.

She quickly called over a staff member to handle Greg Jensen’s transfer, and then personally brought the box containing the Xuan Yin herb to Greg Jensen.

Greg Jensen received the box, opened it to check that there were no issues, then turned his head to Norman Davis, taunting:

“You think I’m a big sucker who got scammed by you, but have you ever considered that you might be the one at a loss?

Did you ever think, perhaps the Xuan Yin herb is worth a fortune, and you’re simply ignorant of its true value?”

“Impossible!”

Norman Davis sneered, “Our Davis family may not be a big name in medicine, but our ancestors have been in the herbal business for generations.

When it comes to the pharmacology and properties of medicinal herbs, no one knows better than our Davis family—not even the Divine Doctor from the Su-Zhe region, who came to our family for advice on some herbs’ properties a while ago.

What are you compared to that, daring to question our Davis family’s knowledge of herbs?”

“A summer insect cannot discuss ice!”

Greg Jensen glanced at Norman Davis dismissively, shook his head, and said to Theresa Locke, “Theresa, let’s go.”

“Sure, Greg.”

Theresa Locke followed Greg Jensen outside. They hadn’t gone far when she suddenly stopped, turned her head back, and looked at Norman Davis, mocking:

“Do you know, your so-called ‘Divine Doctor’ begged to become my Greg’s apprentice.”
