NovelEnglishChapter 654 The crowd was buzzing with chatter then, i with everyone marveling at the Eldor Four's power while some others were charmed.
There were hardly any people powerful enough to be calling out prices by hundred-million-increments, were there? Amon smirked as Leonard got to his feet.
"One billion and seven hundred million." "One billion and eight hundred million," Reed piped up as well.
Brody chuckled. "One billion and nine hundred million." "wo billion," Leonard called out, hellbent on winning.

Just then, Bruce raised his hand for the auctioneer to stop.
Bruce smiled. "Mister Thatcher, I'm sorry for the interruption. I don't mean to question your power, but I'm sure you won't have two billion dollars in your cash, do you?" Wilbur looked over at Bruce, watching him play his part in the act.
Leonard chuckled. "You're right, sir. I don't have that much money in cash, but do they?" Leonard looked over at Amon and the rest of the Eldor Four, his expression cold.
Bruce followed his gaze. "You'll have to put something down as collateral if you wish to keep bidding too, gentlemen." ""No problem," said Brody calmly. "I'll use my company." | Bruce smiled. "No problem. I know Mister Adler's company is at least worth
-_— Abb 4. + five billion dollars on the market." "I'll use my pill factory," said Reed. : Bruce nodded. "Mister Ellis' pill factory is at least worth four billion dollars. That's alright too." Amon got to his feet, calling out loudly, "I'll use my company, my pill factory, and all my fixed assets. The Fleeceflower's mine." He then looked over at Leonard, raising an eyebrow in challenge.
Bruce smiled. "Very well. Mister Tucker's assets are worth a total of around ten billion dollars. That'll do for sure." Leonard burst out laughing, his expression nothing but arrogant. "I'll use ten thousand acres of herb fields. You've got a long way to go if you're trying to compete with me." Bruce grinned. "Everyone knows Mister Thatcher's herb fields hold the best soil
to plant herbs on. They're a precious asset indeed. The fields alone are worth eight billion dollars. You're free to r proceed." The crowd's jaws were agape. These guys | were putting their assets down as collateral! It looked like all four of them were determined to get the Fleeceflower at all costs.
Just then, Wilbur's eyes widened in realization.
It was the herb fields these people were after.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt was important to note that Leonard's herb fields were a non-renewable source, and there was no other land that matched its soil fertility levels for herbs.
Leonard's herb fields were an endless money-maker. As long as the fields kept growing herbs to be used as products, the income would never stop. Anyone would be jealous of it.
Leonard had used the herb fields as collateral, and he would not be able to | make the money back after that since the Fleeceflower was a fake. His financial chain would break down, and he would not be able to keep his fields anymore.
Leonard would be nothing without his herb fields, and vulnerable to whatever these people wanted to do with him.
Bruce, being the chairman and a peak Ambience level cultivator, had joined forces with the rest of the Eldor Four, as well as Eliam and Jon, the top dogs of the herb industry. There was no way Leonard would be able to recover from this.
This meant that all of this was just a ploy to get Leonard to surrender his herb fields and leave him with nothing.
Leonard would be done for the second Bruce had valid reasons to take control of the herb fields.
"You may continue bidding now,
gentlemen," Bruce chuckled. He sat back down in his seat, exchanging a smile with Eliam and Jon next to him.
