Chapter 521 Head and Heir of House Kang

Chapter 520 - Head and Heir of House Kang

In Yanjing, not far from the auction hall, stood a hotel. Inside the hotel, there was a grumpy old man: Miracle Doctor Kang. He was throwing tantrums because he spent 430 million for the Pill of Life Extension and Toxic Cleansing, while Tianyi and Yu Haitian only used 280 million to obtain it!

Wasn't the difference in prices a bit too enormous? But Miracle Doctor Kang himself was to blame for this. He was the one who made the wrong judgment. He thought that during the first round, Tianyi and Fatty Lai were simply raising the price so that the price during the second round would be cheaper!

It wasn't fully Miracle Doctor Kang's fault, though. Normally the price would go down after the first round! The same happened to his Golden Creation. It could sell for 500,000 at first, but the price decreased to 30 or 40,000 after that.

No one had imagined that House Yu would join the bidding and buy the second Pill of Life Extension and Toxic Cleansing, even with the price of 280 million! House Kang panicked after learning that the Pill of Life Extension and Toxic Cleansing was worth that much! However, House Kang couldn't fight House Yu, could they? House Yu was the one who determined the upgrade of a normal house to a noble house, after all!

As such, Miracle Doctor Kang could only wait for the third round to get the Pill of Life Extension and Toxic Cleansing. Unfortunately, Fatty Lai was also aiming for the third round. They even raised the price to 430 million! Miracle Doctor Kang almost coughed blood, but he had no choice; he needed the pill!

After giving it some thought, he knew that this was for the wealth and reputation of the family, so he endured the pain and bought the last Pill of Life Extension and Toxic Cleansing with the price of 430 million! If they could successfully extract the ingredients and mass produce the pills, it would bring the House tons of benefits!

430 million was almost all of House Kang's circulating capital! House Kang only had around 500 million circulating funds; Miracle Doctor Kang had used up eighty percent!

Miracle Doctor Kang was a little comforted as he remembered he could earn back a few million from the auction the next day!

Suddenly, he heard a knock on his door. Miracle Doctor Kang frowned. "Who is it?"

"Grandpa, it's me, Zhaolong!" Zhaolong came back and wanted to tell his grandfather about the dinner and his connection with House Wu.

"Come in! The door's unlocked." Miracle Doctor Kang let him in after learning it was his grandson.

Zhaolong walked in and locked the door behind.

"Why are you locking the door?" Miracle Doctor Kang was confused.

"Grandpa, I've got something important to tell you!" Zhaolong said in a low voice and sat next to his grandpa.

"Important? What's so important?" Miracle Doctor Kang asked.

"I met Wu Chengtian today, and I've successfully gotten close to him!" Zhaolong told his grandpa everything, including meeting Lin Yi and Xiaoxiao.

Miracle Doctor Kang fell deep into thought, then finally nodded. He praised, "You've done well! 15 million, well spent indeed! With Chengtian's vain attitude, good job at getting close to him using this issue!"

"Yes, Grandpa. With the support of House Wu, can we think about upgrading to a noble house?" Zhaolong asked cautiously.

"Noble house…" Miracle Doctor Kang took a deep breath and gave a sidelong glance at his grandson. He was surprised that his grandson was more ambitious than him. He had just networked with House Wu and was already planning to upgrade the house.

"House Wu's position is very special in the Noble Houses. Nobody would have objections if Gonggao spoke up for us; even House Yu has to think twice before crossing the mystic class master!" Zhaolong said. "My relationship with him is very fragile. All I did was preserve his honor in front of the others. He might be very grateful to me now, but the feeling will eventually fade! So we should do it now before it's too late!"

"Well said!" Miracle Doctor Kang nodded. "If I didn't get to check the catalog of tomorrow's auction items, I might've had to ponder your request! But now, we can actually give it a try!"

"Oh? The catalog? Is there anything that can benefit us in the catalog?" Zhaolong asked, taken aback.

"Yes! It's outrageously valuable to us!" Miracle Doctor Kang nodded. "Our special edition Golden Creation can heal old scars and replace them with new tissue!"

"I knew that. But don't we have a shortage of a certain herb? Don't we have to cut back on production?" Zhaolong was in charge of the whole House Kang's research laboratory. He knew everything about the Golden Creation's recipe.

"That's right! However, there's this herb in the next day's auction!" Miracle Doctor Kang pointed at the catalog.

"Oh?" Zhaolong was astonished and snatched the catalog from his grandpa's hands. His eyes went wide when he spotted the herb. "Millenium snow lotus? Is this real?"

"Of course it's real! It was definitely examined before being sent to the auction. House Yu would lose its reputation if the herb is fake!" Miracle Doctor Kang confirmed. "We must get this herb!"

"But, Grandpa, this has nothing to do with registering as a noble house…." Zhaolong gave his grandpa a perplexed look. He couldn't find the connection between the two separate events.

"Removing the scars can't compare to the Pill of Life Extension and Toxic Cleansing, but Golden Creation is still considered a magical medicine!" Miracle Doctor Kang said. "As long as we use it properly, it can bring great advantages to our house!"

"Oh? Grandpa, you mean we can use this for PR?" Zhaolong finally understood what his grandpa was trying to get at, but he still couldn't understand how Golden Creation had a decisive role.

"Hehe, Zhaolong, you're still too young, unmarried, no daughter. Of course you couldn't recognize the secret within!" Miracle Doctor Kang waved his hand with a smile. "Think about it: There are girls and women in every house; they want to be pretty and they enjoy dressing up. In fact, it might not be of any use to men, but the women take it as a panacea!"
