Betrayed, But Not Defeated novel Chapter 143

Noticing Daniel's hesitation, Regina asked, "Mr. Ashcroft, do you have any concerns? Please feel free to share them with me, and I'll do my best to help you resolve them."

"I'm broke," Daniel said, with a spread of his hands. "If I auction off the pills, I won't have the funds to bid on anything. It was my initial plan to trade the pill directly for what I need."

"Oh, is that all?" Regina laughed softly when she heard his concern. "Mr. Ashcroft, you're underestimating the Golden Immortal Token. At the Immortal Assembly, all transactions are settled afterward. With these pills, you should have more than enough to buy whatever you want."

Regina continued to explain, "And even if it's not enough, the Golden Immortal Token alone grants you a credit limit of three billion dollars. You can repay it whenever you have the funds."

"That's awesome! I'll leave these Blood Energy Pills to you then," Daniel said, impressed by the Immortal Syndicate's efficient system. In some ways, it was even comparable to the systems he had encountered in the cultivation world.

"Thank you, Mr. Ashcroft." Regina was clearly pleased with the outcome.

No matter the time, pills were always in hot demand. She had been worried about the lack of pills for this auction, but now that concern was gone since Daniel had provided a total of nine Blood Energy Pills—which were a bestseller!

Regina hurried off with the pills. In preparation for the upcoming Immortal Assembly, she needed to carefully consider the specific auction order for these Blood Energy Pills to ensure the maximum impact.

Isaac, who had been watching from the side, was itching to ask Daniel if he could buy one of the pills privately. However, he knew how expensive Blood Energy Pills were on the market, and in the end, he couldn't bring himself to ask.

"Daniel, do you want to check out that area over there? It looked really lively earlier," Charlene asked, her eyes shining with anticipation.

Daniel naturally didn't refuse. "Sure, let's go take a look," he said with a nod, leading Charlene and Isaac toward the bustling spot.

The area Charlene had mentioned was indeed very lively, with a crowd still gathered around.

Daniel, Charlene, and Isaac squeezed through the crowd until they reached a long table. When Daniel saw what was on the table, his expression turned peculiar.

It was near impossible to penetrate the outer layer of an Immortal Stone, even with spiritual consciousness. This meant that even Energy Cultivators couldn't tell what was inside, making it a pure game of chance.

Of course, there were differences from gemstone gambling. With gemstones, one could at least make some inferences based on the outer shell. But with Immortal Stones, there were no clues whatsoever—it was all about luck!

"Come one, come all! Step right up, don't miss out! Just now, a young man spent 200 thousand dollars for an Immortal Stone, and inside was a 100-year-old mountain ginseng! That's something you can't buy even if you have money!"

The stall owner, a young man, was enthusiastically calling out to attract customers.

"I'll take this one!" a burly man with a thick beard declared, patting the Immortal Stone in front of him.

This particular Immortal Stone was quite large, with a smooth, rounded surface that made it look like a fossilized egg.
