Chapter 382: Chapter 382 Worthless_1

“Master Wang, good day.”

“Master Wang, could you please…”

As Curtis Milton from Healington strode through the crowd, he quickened his pace, ignoring the greetings coming his way.

Finally, under the astonished gazes of the crowd, he stood in front of Greg Jensen.

Those triangular eyes were firmly fixed on the elixir on the table.

Curtis’s gaze became serious as he inspected the elixir before looking up at Greg, “May I take a look?”

With an indifferent tone, Greg said, “Feel free.”

Curtis nodded silently, pinched an elixir, examined it closely in front of his eyes, and then held it up to his nose for a deep sniff.

The rich scent of medicine filled his nostrils, and Curtis’s eyes snapped open, his gaze intense as he looked at Greg and asked, “How much for one?”

“Three million apiece, non-negotiable,” replied Greg, with a smile that was not a smile, counter-asking, “Do you find the price fair?”

“Fair. I’ll buy it,” Curtis said without hesitation, immediately transferring three million to Greg with his phone, and then, under the shocked eyes of the onlookers, popped the elixir straight into his mouth.

Silence engulfed everyone.

All those who had claimed Greg was bragging were now silenced.

If a representative from Healington acknowledged Greg’s elixir as truly worth three million, any further objections would imply disbelief in Healington’s expertise.

All eyes were now fixed on Curtis.

Greg observed him calmly, his eyes slightly closed, and after a moment, snapped them open again, his expression becoming solemn.

Curtis gave Greg a serious look and then suddenly smiled, “Call your family elders. Tell them someone from Healington wants to meet them.”

Greg frowned, “What do you mean? My elixir isn’t worth three million?”

“This…”

Curtis wanted to say “It’s not worth it,” but he couldn’t bring himself to utter those words.

To be fair, the vitality elixir was the best he had ever tried, including those of the same grade from Healington. None could match it.

But he could not praise the vitality elixir either.

If he praised the vitality elixir, would Healington’s six million-plus Jade Bottle elixir still sell?

Be it appearance or efficacy, the Jade Bottle elixir was far inferior to the vitality elixir.

What’s more outrageous was that the vitality elixir was cheaper than the Jade Bottle elixir.

If outsiders learned this, who would buy the Jade Bottle elixir?

Therefore, after hesitating for a moment, Curtis did not answer but counter-asked, “How much more of this… vitality elixir do you have?”

Greg laughed, “About forty or so. Why, do you want to buy them all?”

Curtis’s expression shifted subtly. He had thought if there weren’t many vitality elixirs, he would buy them all to prevent them from reaching the market.

A small quantity could be justified for personal consumption or research, but there were simply too many.

“Forget it. I thought this elixir was somewhat interesting and wanted to buy some for fun, but now it seems just so-so.”

Curtis glanced at Greg indifferently and, with a face full of disdain, turned and walked away.

Spectators watched him leave, eagerly asking, “Master Curtis Milton, is the elixir really worth three million?”

Curtis paused in his steps, speaking indifferently, “To me, it’s worth three million; to you, it’s worthless.”

Whoosh!

The crowd burst into a commotion immediately.

“See, what did I tell you? His stuff isn’t worth the money.”

“Brother, that’s not very honorable of you.”

Hearing the crowd’s reproach, Greg didn’t get angry but instead cracked up laughing.

He watched Curtis’s retreating figure, his smile gradually fading into a sneer, and then called out loudly:

“Yeah, I also think I’m being quite dishonorable. So, I’ve decided to reduce the price and sell for one hundred thousand each, first come, first served!”

Curtis Milton’s silhouette stalled, his footing staggered, and he nearly toppled over.

Without a second thought, he swiftly turned and ran over, glaring at Greg Jensen with gritted teeth, and whispered fiercely, “Kid, what the hell are you trying to pull?”

“Pull? You said my elixir was worthless, didn’t you? Is it wrong for me to lower the price now?” Greg Jensen retorted with a sneer.

“You…”

Curtis Milton’s face turned an iron shade of blue with anger; he wished he could just walk away, but he somewhat dared not to.

If others discovered that the blood elixir was so effective, Healington’s Clear Profound Elixirs wouldn’t sell anymore.

No, he couldn’t let him sell those blood elixirs!

Within an instant, Curtis Milton had calculated his options, and with a stern face, he said, “One hundred thousand per pill, is that right? I’ll take all you have!”

The corners of Greg Jensen’s mouth curved up slightly in a sarcastic grin, “Sorry, but if Healington wants to buy, it’s three million a pill!”

“You must be dreaming!” Curtis Milton burst out.

“Really? Then I might as well dream a little bigger.”

Greg Jensen scoffed, pretending to ponder, “I think three million a pill is a bit low, after all, your Healington’s trash Clear Profound Elixirs can fetch sky-high prices of six or seven million.

“My blood elixirs are much more effective than the Clear Profound Elixirs, so they should at least sell for… four million, right?

Yes, let’s make it four million!”

Curtis Milton was genuinely enraged, “Have you lost your mind?”

Greg Jensen’s expression turned cold as he replied indifferently, “The price just went up, five million!”

Curtis Milton shouted, “You’re courting death!”

Greg Jensen let out a cold laugh, “Even if I am courting death, try laying a finger on me and see? By tomorrow, your Healington will have its reputation dragged through the mud!”

“You…”

Curtis Milton’s eyes were bloodshot, veins in his forehead bulging, and he wanted nothing more than to tear Greg Jensen apart, but he was helpless to do so.

Greg Jensen spoke coolly, “Are you buying or not? If not, stand aside and don’t get in the way of my business!”

“I’ll buy!”

Curtis Milton said through clenched teeth, “Tell me, how much in total.”

Upon hearing these words, Greg Jensen couldn’t help but be overjoyed. He poured out the elixirs to count them before saying, “There are thirty-seven in total, at five million each, that will be one hundred and eighty-five million in total.”

He looked up at Curtis Milton, smiling, “Oh dear, I was actually considering giving you a discount, but what a pity, there’s no change to give back.”

Curtis Milton’s face was as black as the bottom of a pot as he snapped, “Kid, aren’t you afraid of burning your hands with all that money?”

“Not scared, I’ve got thick skin.”

“Be careful not to play with fire and get burnt yourself!”

Greg Jensen laughed heartily, “Someone said something similar to me just now, so if you’re thinking of dealing with me, you’d better hurry up.

Otherwise, if someone else beats you to it, you’ll miss your chance.”

Curtis Milton was huffing with rage, realizing that he could never win against Greg Jensen in a verbal skirmish. He could only transfer the money over first and find a chance to take care of this kid later.

He swiftly made the transfer and then picked up the Jade Bottle from the table and left.

Boom!

The crowd witnessing the scene erupted once again.

“Didn’t Master Curtis say that the elixir was not worth three million?”

“Heh, it seems we were all deceived by Master Curtis. Otherwise, why would he spend five million to buy so many elixirs?”

“Does this mean the blood elixirs are effective?”

“Nonsense, of course, they’re effective. Curtis Milton is not a fool.”

“Five million a pill, almost catching up with the Clear Profound Elixir’s price now. This suggests that the blood elixirs’ effect is at least not inferior to that of Clear Profound Elixirs.”

The crowd quickly caught on that Curtis Milton’s so-called “worthless” was actually out of fear that they would buy the blood elixirs.

“Brother, do you still have any of those blood elixirs? I’ll take one.”

“I’ll take five!”

“And give me two as well…”
