Everyone inside the auction hall had their gaze fixed on the elder in the wheelchair nervously. Eventually, the elder finally stopped
shaking, and he calmed down.
Austin stepped back and stood aside, looking relaxed.
"Grandpa..."
Overwhelmed with emotion, the beautiful girl wanted to run towards the elder and check his current condition.
But before she could do anything, Austin stopped her in her tracks. "Give your grandfather stime," he advised.
He waved his hand and unleashed a force that halted her from going anywhere near the elder.
"Sir, didn't you say that you could bring back this old gentleman's health and vigor? You also swore that you could make him walk
again.
It looks like things did not go well," Master Eason mocked.
He raised his eyebrows as if taunting Austin.
The rest of monks from the Buddhist Sect burst into laughter.
"I saw this coming. When this guy made such bold declarations, | immediately knew that he was lying.
| don't even think our pills can instantly cure anyone, let alone his tricks," one of the monks teased. He eyed Austin with contempt
and smirked haughtily.
"See, Alice? As | said, this loser is nothing but an airhead!"
The stout old man laughed out loud.
"Honey, | have a feeling that Austin is here for me. | bet that he heard that | would be attending the auction, so he chere and
did all this just to impress me,"
Alice said as she let her imagination run wild.
They deliberately spoke in a loud voice, so that everyone in the auction hall could hear them clearly. They drew a knowing smile as
they looked at Austin.
The old man remained in the wheelchair with his eyes closed. All the people gathered around were convinced that Austin was a
fraud.
Austin, on the other hand, remained unfazed. He looked calm and collected, with his hands clasped behind his back.
'The Magic Sea Water is capable of bringing the dead back to life.
Even if this elder was dead, he would cback to life once he takes the Magic Sea Water. I'm sure he will be able to walk around
like ordinary people soon now that he drank the Magic Sea Water, ' Austin thought.
Eventually, something happened that shook everyone around.
"That's enough! This young man didn't brag.
He cured me," the elder broke the eerie silence. His voice was loud and clear.
He placed his hands on the armrests of the wheelchair and sprung up from the wheelchair.
The elder let out a hearty laugh as he patted his legs.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"It feels so great. | spent years sitting in a wheelchair. Now | can finally get rid of it, stand up and walk like ordinary people.
| feel good and energetic as if | was back to the prof my life!" he gushed.
The old man squatted and displayed several fist skills.
Austin observed his movements discreetly. He could tell that the elder's martial arts were not showy but practical.
"It looks like he had learned martial arts before, ' Austin figured.
He could sense that each move the elder made was potent.
"Grandpa! | can't believe you have fully recovered. This is amazing!" the enchanting girl exclaimed in excitement as she raced
towards the elder.
Seeing that her grandfather who had been paralyzed for dozens of years suddenly jumped up and could display martial arts skills,
she could not find any word to express her feeling.
"No... no way! How is that possible?
| can't believe that there is such an elixir in the world!" Master Eason of the Buddhist Sect murmured as he gaped at the energetic
elder.
The master had disbelief all over this face. He found it hard to believe that the old man actually recovered.
"Oh, no. | can't believe he really cured that old man," Alice said to the stout, old man.
She was reluctant to accept that Austin was actually successful. Part of her still believed that all this was a still a hoax.
The fat man seated next to her was just as astonished, if not more. He clenched his teeth in disappointment, and it hurt his pride
to admit that Austin was telling the truth.
"It's a magical elixir! It must be smagical elixir! | can't believe it could cure a paralyzed person in such a short time!"
"This brat's jade bottle must contain the elixir!"
Each and every one of them had their own theories on how Austin made it work. They couldn't wrap their heads around such a
miracle liquid that would instantaneously cure an elderly man.
Due to this success, however, many martial artists took an interest in Austin's things. They wore a brooding expression on their
faces as if they were planning something sinister.
"Ha-ha! That's great! My illness is cured.
| can feel that my body is even stronger compared to my younger years!"
The cured elder was over the moon. He kept gushing about his newfound strength.
Then, he confidently walked towards Austin.
"No words can express my extrgratitude for your help. | am glad that | made a wise decision to trust you.
If I didn't, | would still be living my days in a wheelchair.
Thank you so much, boy," he gratefully stated. He bowed to Austin to deeply express his appreciation.
Austin waved his sleeve, and unleashed a gentle force to help the old man up.
"No need to thank me, sir!
This is just a deal.
| cure you, and in return, you givethe Sarira.
It's only fair that | do my end on the agreement,"
Austin responded nonchalantly with his hands behind his back.
"It's... well, you are an outspoken man.
| have kept this Sarira all my life. Now, it's yours!" the elder wholeheartedly offered.
He fetched the Sarira and personally handed it over to Austin.
Austin would not refuse, and he stretched out his hand to grab it.
Just as he was about to take it, the elder's granddaughter rushed forward to stop him from getting the Sarira.
"Wait a second," she said, looking at Austin.
"What are you doing? Are you backing out?"
Austin glared at the girl with threatening eyes.
"Of course not.
Aside from curing him, you promisedthat you would help my grandpa live for another thirty years.
Will my grandfather be able to live another thirty years?"
the granddaughter asked.
"Yeah, | did say so.
But you have threatenedand you did again just now.
So that term is invalid. | am not gonna help him extend his lifespan," Austin flatly declared.
He quickly took the Sarira and put it in his Space Ring.
"What did you say? Humph! This is unfair."
Upset, the girl stomped her feet in annoyance. She felt duped.
"Serena, that's enough!
This gentleman is right. You were rude to him. Not only did he forgive your discourteous behavior, but he also curedof my
illness. We owe him.
Apologize to him now!"
the old man lectured in a stern tone.
"Grandpa! I... "
Serena seemed to be afraid of her grandfather. Then, realizing her behavior, she turned to Austin.
"Sir, that was my fault. My apologies.
I'm going to offer you another deal as an apology for my actions. If you can help my grandfather prolong his life, I'm willing to pay
you.
One billion!
What do you think?"
she pleaded as she drew closer to Austin.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWith his hands behind his back, Austin looked away from her.
Seeing that Austin could not be reasoned with despite the exorbitant amount, Serena decided to raise it even more. "Two billion!"
"Three billion!"
"Four billion!"
"Five billion! That's as far as | can go. Do we have a deal?!" Austin remained unperturbed.
"Hey, are you dumb or something? Do you agree or not? Answernow.
| have already apologized. What else do you want?
| can marry you if you want.
Can you agree now?"
Serena's pretty face was turning red from fury as she kept on offering goods to him. Austin, on the other hand, didn't even look her
in the eye. Out of desperation, she offered her hand in marriage even if she didn't mean to.
Her grandfather didn't stop her.
After all, he also hoped that Austin could help him prolong his life.
Trading billions for extending his life was a good deal. After all, he was affluent.
Austin finally said something after Serena's final offer. "Oh, is that so?
My answer is no. I'm not interested in you."
Austin playfully eyed the charming woman up and down.
"Hey! You stupid brat.
I'm good looking and | have an inviting figure that plenty of men would swoon over. Moreover, | am from an influential family. | am
so much better than you.
Even if you want to marry me, | will refuse."
Austin's words irritated the girl even further.
"But since you are a devoted granddaughter, I'll help your grandfather to live for thirty years more.
After all, | did promise you that | will extend your grandfather's life,"
Austin casually mentioned.
