Chapter 313


    “Wow! Is this the thousand-year-old King of Ginseng?” “I can even smell its fragrance from here.”


    “Legend has it that it has an extremely high medical value and can be used to cure all illnesses by


    combining it with other high-quality herbs.”


    The crowd was heated in their discussions.


    Upon seeing the ginseng, James had a satisfied look, “Not bad. It’s indeed a thousand years old. I


    never expected to see such a precious herbal medicine in a bustling city like this.” Though Thea did not


    know anything about medicine, she was nevertheless stunned upon seeing such huge ginseng


    Christine spoke behind the auction block, “This thousand-year-old King of Ginseng was bought by my


    grandfather eight years ago by a pleasant coincidence. Ever since then, it’s been the signature


    treasure of our shop. I believe everyone here today has heard that its starting price is a hundred


    million. Thus, the bid increment cannot be less than a million dors.”

    Hearing this, the crowd gasped. Although these were affluent people, they were still shocked by the


    exorbitant price.


    A hundred million dors was simply too much.


    They believed it was not worth it to spend a hundred million dors on ginseng, even if it was the King


    of Ginseng


    “Everyone!”


    At that moment, an elderly man at the very front stood up.

    He looked around sixty years of age and wore a green scrub. He had long hair and was dressed old-


    fashionedly. He looked at the crowd and introduced himself. “I’m Bjorn Truman, and I’ll have the King of


    Ginseng. For my sake, please do not bid.”


    “What? Bjorn Truman?”


    “He’s Bjorn Truman?”


    The crowd eximed


    Puzzled, James looked at Thea and asked, “Honey, who’s he?”


    Before Thea could speak, Julianna by her side shot James a look of disdain. “You don’t even know


    Blom Truman? And yet you say you practice medicine?” James scratched his nose. Must one who


    practiced medicine know of Bjorn Truman? Thea exined, “Honey, Bjorn Truman is renowned in the


    medical world. His reputation and prestige areparable to Dr. Fallon’s.”


    “Oh?”


    James’ curiosity was piqued. “Tell me more about it.”


    Thea exined, “The art of medicine has been around for five thousand years. There had been many


    medical associations before Jay Fallon established the Doctor’s Association. Though the Doctor’s


    Association established by Jay Fallon has been acknowledged as the mainstream, many prideful


    doctors refused to join. So, they created an association of their own. Bjorn was one of them. He’s


    nicknamed the Doctor of Wonders and is the representative of the non affiliated school.”


    James scratched his nose.


    He never expected that the world of medicine would be thisplicated. Many of the filthy-rich were


    here today for the thousand-year-old King of Ginseng.


    However, before the bidding had even started, Bjorn, the Doctor of Wonder, stood up and announced


    the thousand-year-old King of Ginseng was his. They knew of Bjorn. Not willing to offend a man with


    advanced medical skills, they gave up on the idea of bidding However, James could not care less It


    was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. How could he miss it? Besides, presenting the King of Ginseng as


    a gift would earn Thea respect among the Hills.


    “A hundred and one million.” James raised his bidding card. His voice reverberated across the venue.


    Hearing this, everyone fixed their gazes on James. They were looking forward to witnessing a


    spectacr scene. Bjom had announced the King of Ginseng as his. Who was this guy? How could he


    bid? Was he going against Bjorn?
