Chapter 191
There was a blood–red section within the panacea polypore–it was a young bloody
polypore that was growing from the inside!
Everyone watching around Frank was left in dumbfounded disbelief.
“What?!”
“Isn’t that a bloody polypore?”
“It’s alive, too…”
“So that’s why the polypore is dying. Its nutrients are being drained from the inside!”
Gina was left completely bewildered.
She knew nothing about herbology, so she asked Cindy, “What’s a bloody polypore?”
Cindy’s eyes were aflame with jealousy. “It’s a parasitic polypore growing within normal
polypores. It sucks the polypore outside dry, which is why it’s a treasure among
polypores.”
Beside Frank, Kenny’s eyes lit up as he stared at the bloody polypore. “My goodness…
your eyes are as sharp as they are wise, Mr. Lawrence! You actually spotted a bloody

He was dead sure that Frank must have noticed right away, or he would not have spent
two million dollars buying a dead herb!
Frank smiled. “I was just lucky.”
Helen was left gaping but soon rolled her eyes.
She was certainly naive–Frank had his own reason to buy the herb, and certainly not to
help her mother save face.
Even Johnny was left staring greedily at the bloody polypore while kicking himself for not
noticing earlier.
Still, he got an idea and told Frank, “Sir, you truly are amazing, noticing the bloody
polypore inside. May I ask if you’re interested in selling it? I’m willing to buy it for five
hundred million
Everyone who was in the know laughed before he could finish.
“Aren’t you too greedy, old–timer? A bloody panacea is a real treasure.”
“Hell, it’s one in a million and at least worth a billion bucks.”
“And you just axed it by half!
Johnny gritted his teeth, but he stayed calm and smiled at Frank. “Haha! Silly me… how
does a billion dollars sound, sir?”
“A billion?!” Gina’s eyes were bulging at the offer.
Lane Holdings and all their assets were only worth two billion!
And yet, that single herb was worth half of that?!

She had certainly taken a terrible loss!
Nonetheless, Frank smiled and shook his head. “No, I’m not planning to sell it.”
He had bought the panacea polypore so that Vicky could put the Rejuvenation Pill into
production, not for money.
Hell, he would not sell it even if he were offered ten billion.
“Oh, what a pity.” Johnny was left shaking his head.
Even if he was dissatisfied, he could not afford to play dirty tricks when so many others

Moreover, there were rules in this business–they never did refunds, just as they would
never take back what they sold..
Gina, however, could not care less.
A billion dollars was at stake, and she could afford to lose face!
“Stop right there!” she snapped at Frank before he could leave with the bloody polypore.
Frank frowned as Gina and Cindy suddenly flanked him. “What?”
“Give us the bloody polypore,” Gina demanded, holding out her hand brazenly.
Cindy nodded repeatedly beside her. “Yes! It belongs to us!”
“Mom! What are you doing?” Helen cried as she hurried up to her, pulling her by the arm.
Gina snapped stubbornly, “I’m taking back what’s ours!”
“What’s yours?” Frank chuckled in amusement. “I spent two million on this, and you sold it
to me. Why is it suddenly yours again?”
Gina put her hands on her hips as she snorted. “You knew there was a bloody polypore
inside and you didn’t tell me! You only spent the two million to trick me!”
