---- Chapter 2371 In theory, such things seemed impossible in this modern era of peace. Among martial artists,
the rule was simple: strength justified everything. If someone with a bulletproof body and monstrous power
caught wind of a treasure like this sitting unguarded, they would not hesitate. Telling them to 'stay calm’ or 'do
the right thing' would only earn you a laugh and maybe a punch to the face. Then, relying on their martial
prowess, they would simply kill the person, take the treasure, and disappear without a trace. That was the true
law of the world.
Even though Elsie had issued her warning, the moment the ninth- grade suprelixir, the Marble Essence Pill,
was revealed, Andrew clearly felt the entire atmosphere of the auction house shift tically. The eyes of
everyone present burned with an intensity that screamed desire, filled with barely concealed greed. Audible
gulps could be heard, and the sound of heavy breathing filled the room. "Con, announce the starting bid
already! How much are we talking here?" someone called out impatiently. ---- "Yes, give us the opening price!
This Marble Essence Pill is something the Lake family absolutely must have!" another voice chimed in eagerly.
"Aninth-grade suprelixir? You won't find these things in Sovereign's Apothecary even if you offered them
your head on a platter! Who would be foolish enough to put something this valuable up for public sale?"
Someone exclaimed, "These kinds of treasures are only traded privately or kept for personal use!" "Ladies and
gentlemen, I'm asking for one more favor from everyone here. This pill is something that the Harding family truly
desires..." Sergio's voice suddenly cut through.
Everyone was shocked. Earlier, Serhad declared he wouldn't participate in the final bidding if they gave him
face. Yet now, he was pretending those words never left his mouth, stepping right back into the spotlight as if
nothing happened. Andrew had been prepared for Serto use his authority to suppress the bidding, which
would likely keep the pill's price artificially low. He was already gearing up to voice his frustration when someone

You gave everyone your word earlier that you ---- wouldn't compete anymore. Now you're pulling this stunt
again. Sorry, but this twe're not backing down. Let's see who's got the real skill!" Another voice, even
rougher and more direct, joined in without hesitation. "Mr. Harding Senior, while others might be intimidated by
you, I'm not one of them. You want the Marble Essence Pill, and so do I. Why don't we all stop arguing and settle
this the old-fashioned way? Whoever's strong enough can have this suprelixir.
Let's fight for it!" This brash individual had even suggested they forget about money entirely and decide the
winner through combat instead. Sergio's reputation as a nearly unbeatable martial master was well-known
throughout Chetvine, yet this man was still dismissing him without concern. That told Andrew that this person
had to be someone of equally terrifying strength, almost certainly a martial emperor-level expert. This was what
made Chetvine different from other places. Martial emperors were not mythical creatures. They were real,
walking among everyone.
And one wrong move could mean getting turned to dust before you even realize what happened. At that
moment, Andrew heard Valerie's voice cutting through the chaos. "Well, everyone certainly seems excited! The
bidding hasn't even started, and you're all already fighting over each other. In that case, | won't hold back either.
The Reyes family ---- wants this ninth-grade suprelixir for ourselves as well. Please feel free to bid,
everyone. Don't worry about me... We'll all compete fairly!" While her words sounded gracious enough, many
people groaned inwardly.
