Remorse After Breaking Up (Sebastian) novel Chapter 300

“20 billion dollars!” Once again, Sebastian placed a bid, breaking the record for the highest bid in years.

The crowd stirred.

“Who is this guy? Is he dropping 20 billion dollars on a dragon root like it’s pocket change?”

“He’s Lana’s fiancé. He must be loaded. 20 billion dollars? Must be nice.”

Speculations about Sebastian’s background buzzed through the hall, mixing with murmurs of awe.

Merlin and Nelson sat facing each other in a private box with their eyes fixed on Sebastian.

“I can’t shake the feeling that this masked guy is suspicious, like I’ve seen him somewhere before.” Merlin frowned.

“Whether we’ve seen him before doesn’t matter. What matters is that he’s a cash cow.” Nelson licked his dry lips, his eyes filled with greed.

“Agreed. This guy’s worth a fortune. He’s probably got a few hundred billion. We’ll hit the jackpot if we can fleece him out.” Merlin’s eyes lit up with greed. Despite being the head of the Novastar Organization, he wasn’t exactly wealthy.

Merlin, too, coveted the century-old dragon root. It was only because he didn’t have much money that he hesitated to bid.

Beside them, Elena smirked. “Remember when he arrived? He chopped off Marcus

Osborne’s legs. That puts him on our side. Let’s follow him back quietly. We might stand a chance by then.”

Merlin and Nelson both nodded in agreement.

“20 billion dollars, going once!”

“20 billion dollars, going twice!”

“20 billion dollars, sold! Congratulations to the gentleman for acquiring the first treasure of our auction.”

Considering the costs of these pills, which amounted to only a few tens of millions, the profits were multiplied several times over.

The auction continued until after 5:00 pm, nearing its end.

The final auction item, covered in red velvet cloth, was on the table in front of Lana, its contents obscured.

With a gentle smile, Lana said, “Next up is the final highlight of this auction, a treasure that I can guarantee is unmatched in the world.”

Lana lifted the red velvet cloth without further ado, revealing a palm-sized metal piece on the tray.

Sebastian immediately sat up straight, his eyes widening in shock and disbelief.

“Could this be the Aether Script?” someone asked uncertainly.

Lana smiled and confirmed, “Some of you may have already guessed it. That’s right! This is indeed the Aether Script!”
