NovelUSAChapter 521 Everyone here today was a prominent figure in Crestwood, and quite a few worked in the medical field.
They'd already shown keen interest in the NecroBlitz Tablets; if they could learn even a handful of the ingredients used to make them, most of these people would be too excited to sleep tonight.
Now, the whole crowd leaned in, waiting for Kali to speak.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThree minutes ticked by, but Kali remained silent.
Suddenly, Citrine let out a cold laugh and deliberately called her out, "Ms.
Glenwood, it's been three minutes. Why are you still quiet?" Before Kali could respond, Citrine pressed on, "This is your own research, isn't it? Don't tellyou don't even know what went into your own pills?" This wretched woman.
Kali had stolen the pills from Scales-how could she possibly know what ingredients went into making them? Her face went pale as she glared daggers at Citrine, snapping, "Who says I don't know?" "Then go ahead. Tell us," Citrine replied, her tone indifferent.
Kali's eyes darted around, panic rising inside her.
She forced herself to answer, "These NecroBlitz Tablets are incredibly rare. Why would I just hand over the ingredient list?" At that moment, Citrine glanced up toward the second floor, where Sebastian was seated. She offered him a slight smile and said, "You don't have to tell me, but surely you should tell President Vesper. After all, he just paid eight hundred million for that pill." "Why would I tell him?" Kali blurted in confusion, not understanding Citrine's point. With that, people began to eye Kali a little differently.
Anyone who worked in medicine, or who had regularly participated in auctions for rare pharmaceuticals, knew the protocol: to avoid complications-and to ensure the product's safety-once the auction ended, the creator was required to provide the buyer with a detailed list of all ingredients and their proportions.
Kali realized, too late, that the mood in the room had shifted.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBefore she could gather her thoughts, Citrine laughed outright. "Ms. Glenwood, have you really never been in the real world before?" "What's that supposed to mean?" Kali asked, completely lost.
Citrine dropped her smile, her tone sharp. "Do you seriously not know? At medical auctions, it's standard practice after the sale, the creator must provide the buyer with a full list of ingredients and exact proportions used in the medicine." What? She had to write out the formula? Kali's face turned as white as a sheet. Now, true panic set in.
Sensing her distress, Citrine gave a mocking little snort. "Ms. Glenwood, putting aside whether you actually developed the NecroBlitz Tablets.or not, you're still the Glenwood family's eldest daughter. Your family was in pharmaceuticals for years-you mean to say you don't even know basic auction protocol? How..." Citrine paused, then finished with a smirk, "Uncultured." Kali clenched her teeth. "Who are you calling uncultured?" She glared at Citrine. "Who says I don't know? I just... I forgot the formula, that's all." Citrine nodded, a cold smile on her face. "Oh, you forgot? Well, I suggest you remember, and fast." She went on, "There's another rule at these auctions: if the seller can'te provide the formula for a rare medicine in the allotted time, they must pay the buyer double the purchase price."
"Mr. Vesper paid eight hundred million. That means you'd owe him one point six billion." "One point six billion dollars." Kali's eyes widened in shock-she nearly fainted.
One point six billion? There was no way she could cup with that kind of money.
Forget one point six billion-after being kicked out by her grandfather, she didn't even have five million to her name.
Regret washed over her. If she'd known things would turn out like this, she never would have let her brother декет steal those NecroBlitz Tablets in the first place.
