Chapter 150: Sensational!
As if reading Donson's mind, Hingata sighed and said, "I'm not as good as the Fiend. Maybe he's already a grand master Chemist. If he is willing to join us, I am willing to give up my position to him."
Donson was so moved by his employee's selflessness, because not everyone would give up the power that was in their hands.
"The search for the Fiend must be done in secret. No other group should ever know about it, as we must find the Fiend first!" Donson said in a serious tone.
This matter concerned the future of the Donald Group. If the Bart Group uncovered the secret to the enhanced Atomic Serum first, the Donald Group would be hit hard and profits would surely plummet.
All of the major consortiums, six major pharmaceutical groups, and the top families had made their plans respectively. At this time, just when the crowd thought the climax of the auction was over, Nicolas spoke and once again caused a stir.
"The Tronic Group will hold an 18-day auction," he announced. "Each day, we will auction off one bottle of the enhanced Atomic Serum. We look forward to your active participation."
Everyone suddenly became overwhelmed with excitement again, the crowd filled with various exclamations...
"The enhanced Atomic Serum will be up for auction tomorrow?"
"That's 18 days, one bottle per day. I must get the serum tomorrow!"
The big shots were secretly hatching their evil plans. They wanted to be sure to get their hands on the enhanced Atomic Serum that would be auctioned in the days ahead.
Among them were the six pharmaceutical groups and the academies, who were equally excited. They had missed their opportunity today, so they would certainly not miss out again on the upcoming auctions!
Subsequently, other products were rolled out during the auction. Due to the overwhelming response to the enhanced Atomic Serum, all of the other products were also successfully auctioned off at good prices. This result made the Tronic Group very satisfied.
Tyrion was not involved in the auction, as he was currently being overwhelmed by 100 million relic gold! It was an astonishing amount of money. Not long ago, he had been forced into joining Death Gate Academy because they were the academy with no acceptance restrictions like money or examinations. Now, he had become a billionaire!
My, how things change!
All of a sudden, Tyrion received a text message. The Tronic Mall had swiftly wired 100 million relic gold from the auction into his account.
After Tyrion was able to calm down after the initial excitement, as 100 million relic gold was indeed amazing, he logically worked on figuring out his future game plan.
As the fundamental practice of developing this serum required a huge amount of money, and he also was aware that it would also cost a lot of money to become a Super Soldier.
"The day after tomorrow is the assignment' ranking result. So, there's only one day left, and I have to make more preparations!" Tyrion's expression was grim, as he spoke aloud to himself.
Tomorrow was going be a hectic battle of wit and might.
As such, Tyrion temporarily put aside the matters of the auction and the enhanced Atomic Serum.
He must open at least one super cell before tomorrow comes.
Without his having sufficient strength, and also because he was now seen as being the creator of the enhanced Atomic Serum, Tyrion knew that such things could bring him trouble.
Now, Tyrion was like a three-year-old, who was wandering down the streets while lugging golden bricks in his arms. A bunch of greedy people were eyeing to get that formula for the enhanced Atomic Serum... and these guys would do anything to get it!
The only thing Tyrion could do now was to conceal his identity and improve his strength in order to protect himself.
...
There was not much time left, so Tyrion had focused all of his attentions on increasing his skills as soon as possible. Hence, he was unaware of just how big a sensation the enhanced Atomic Serum created after he left.
The next day, all of the huge news stations in the continent were rushing to report the news...
"The enhanced Atomic Serum has appeared, with a drug efficacy that is four times that of the normal serums. Humans shall once again enter the great evolutionary period!"
The other television channels were all fighting to report this matter, so the content grew more and more detailed.
"Last night, a small auction that happened at Death Gate City shook the whole of Blue Swirl."
"Tronic Group auctioned humankind's first ever bottle of enhanced Atomic Serum. What is an enhanced Atomic Serum, you may be wondering? And how did Tronic Group get their hands on the enhanced Atomic Serum? Please refer to the detailed news below..."
"A reporter specially asked the Alchemy Guild about it, the Stanlos branch has confirmed that the enhanced Atomic Serum has passed the patent application and that its drug efficacy is four times that of the normal Atomic Serum!"
"The enhanced Atomic Serum has appeared, but which Grand Master had the epiphany to create it? Is Blue Swirl continent stepping into a new great evolutionary period? Will put continent finally escape the confinement of lowly backwater continent?"
"The first bottle of enhanced Atomic Serum has been auctioned off for 1 billion by the Bart Pharmaceutical Group, making the company the leading maker of the future generations."
"The Tronic Group will auction the enhanced Atomic Serum continuously for 18 days. Who will walk away with the other bottles of serum?"
…
Countless information about the Tronic Group's history, the entire process of the auction, and how the Bart Group purchased the enhanced Atomic Serum at a shocking price had been dug up and reported upon. As these reports appeared, both pharmaceutical groups were still operating behind the scenes.
Once news went public, the first thing that was affected were the shares of these two companies. The day news broke, when the market opened, their shares increased at an alarming rate.
