Chapter 1361
In the audience, the crowd already sensed that something was off.
Derek frowned and asked, “What exactly is happening here?”
Before Chantelle could even respond, Clifford spoke with a complex tone, announcing to the entire venue, “Andrew has… passed with flying colors! His Golden Cure’s color and potency are absolutely flawless! He’s beaten Dr. Lake and Dr. Bozzelli!”
A brief moment of dead silence followed. Then, came a roar, electrifying the entire venue. Not only had he passed, but he had also outperformed Mosby and Thomas.
Someone asked, “How is this even possible?”
Many people could not believe what they were witnessing. They thought Andrew’s comeback was nothing short of miraculous.
Rafael had kept a low profile since the Grand Medical Summit began, and he asked with a trembling voice, “Mr. Fuentes and Mr. Phelps, in your opinion, how much would this batch of Golden Cure be worth?”
Clifford snorted and replied rather rudely, “Mr. Driscoll, just as expected of a businessman—always measuring everything in terms of money! Listen close: this batch of Golden Cure is priceless!”
Preston chimed in bluntly, “Let me put it this way, Mr. Driscoll—you’ve got money, but compared to this batch of Golden Cure, it’s worth nothing! In a critical moment, this could save your life!”
Rafael’s face immediately flushed red as he looked toward Andrew with gleaming eyes. “I want this batch of Golden Cure! Young man, name your price—ten billion? 20 billion? 50 billion? Just give me a figure!”
Everyone was electrified and completely stunned. What had started as a proper Grand Medical Summit had somehow turned into a bidding war.
The Driscoll family was one of the Three Titans, and Rafael was famously wealthy. He was ready to go all out for Andrew’s medicine.
Derek shouted coldly, “Mr. Driscoll, aren’t you getting ahead of yourself? I’ve got my eye on this medicine too. If you think you can have it all to yourself, think again!”
With a loud laugh, George, the patriarch of the Keller family, slowly stood up. “Governor McCormick, Mr. Driscoll, you’re both pillars of the state, but all this squabbling is beneath you!
“Anyway, my son, Logan, is Andrew’s sworn brother. So, I’m pulling rank as an elder and claiming this medicinal brew for him.”
When he said this, both Rafael’s and Derek’s expressions changed dramatically.
At that moment, Kevin, the head of the Wrights family, actually spoke up too. “Our family doesn’t really have any connection with Mr. Lloyd, but my daughter Yara apparently has a business partnership with Mr. Lloyd!
“Here’s what I’ll do—our family will only take a portion of your medicine, Mr. Lloyd. As for payment, it’s simple—I’m willing to become sworn brothers with you, Mr. Lloyd, in my capacity as head of the Wrights and leader of the Five Apex Families,”
As if worried his sincerity was not convincing enough, Kevin looked Andrew dead in the eye and vowed, “We ride together, we die together.”
Everyone was stunned, and the expressions on countless faces could not have been more dramatic.
Rafael and Derek’s little competition was still understandable, but no one expected the head of the Wrights family to join in, practically groveling and asking to become Andrew’s sworn brother.
This move instantly left countless people speechless.
Quinton muttered to himself, “Father, have you lost your mind? If you become sworn brothers with this bastard, what does that make me? Wouldn’t that make my level lower than Andrew’s?”
Several other prominent families and major corporation leaders also spoke up, wanting to join the bidding war.
