She summoned a confidant and asked a few questions in a low voice.
After learning that what Lu Li said was true, she returned to the house.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Steve, for keeping you waiting."
"It's okay, Miss Leia. I have plenty of time. As long as I can get this deal done, I'm willing to wait as long as it takes."
Lu Li said with a smile.
Leah picked up the potion on the table and looked at it again, but still couldn't see anything special.
"Mr. Steve, you said before that this is a life-saving potion, but I still don't quite understand what it means. Can you explain it?"
"It can make infected people return to normal."
Lu Li said it very easily, but it was like a thunderclap in Leia's ears.
"What?! You're not kidding me?!"
Leah's eyes widened, thinking she heard wrongly.
"It's absolutely true, even more true than Ding Zhen!"
"This...let me think about it."
Leah looked solemn and began to think.
If this potion really had the effect Lu Li said, it wouldn't be a matter of eight hundred gold coins.
After some ideological struggle, Leah finally made a decision.
"Mr. Steve, I agree to your price. I wonder how many potions you want to sell?"
"Not much. I only have a few hundred bottles on hand at the moment."
Lu Li said casually.
"How many...hundreds of bottles?!"
Leah was obviously frightened by this number.
One bottle is worth 800 gold coins, ten bottles is worth 8,000 gold coins, and one hundred bottles is worth 80,000 gold coins!
A few hundred bottles would cost hundreds of thousands of gold coins!
This is almost the entire trading house’s turnover for half a year!
Leah suddenly felt difficulty breathing.
Before she could calm down, she heard Lu Li add another sentence.
"If it's not enough, I can get a few thousand bottles back, but I have to wait a few days."
"Enough! Enough...!"
Hearing this, Leah quickly stopped her.
If there were any more, I'm afraid the trading house wouldn't be able to come up with that many gold coins.
Thinking of this, Leah's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Mr. Steve, I have an idea!"
"any solution?"
"We can hold an auction and we're guaranteed to make a lot of money!"
Although the trading house cannot handle so much goods, there are still so many wealthy people in Les City!
I believe those nobles would be willing to pay a high price for such a good thing.
After all, these nobles are all very life-loving guys.
"Auction? It sounds interesting!"
Lu Li was thoughtful when he heard the words.
"Otherwise, this batch of goods will also be auctioned. I will prepare some more when I go back. I will come to you when the auction is ready."
Lu Li still had enough materials on hand to make thousands more copies.
"If that's the case, that would be great! However, you may have to work hard in the past few days!"
"As long as you make money, it doesn't have to be hard work!"
Lu Li chuckled.
Afterwards, the two discussed the auction matters in detail.
The auction is tentatively scheduled to be held in three days' time, at the auction house of Star Trading House.
Leah immediately gathered people and got busy.
She needs to spread the news about the auction in Rice City within these three days.
The bigger the noise, the better, and it’s best if the whole city knows about it.
Lu Li said goodbye to Liya and was about to go out when something unexpected happened.
Dozens of strong men rushed into the door of Tianxing Trading House and blocked the door.
"The Palace Knights are on business! Everyone! Don't move!"
A man came forward and shouted loudly.
When the people in the trading floor heard what the man said, they were frightened and did not dare to move.
"They are actually from the Palace Knights! What are they doing here?"
"I don't know! We'd better not provoke these guys!"
…
When Lu Li saw the person coming, he couldn't help but frown.
The man who took the lead in shouting was none other than Han Ji, who stopped Lu Li at the door that day.
At this time, Hanji looked very arrogant and majestic.
Before Lu Li could speak, Liya walked up and asked.
"Why are you blocking the door of my Tianxing Trading House?"
"Who are you?"
Hanji looked at Leah and asked.
"I am Leah, the person in charge of Tianxing Trading Company. If you have any questions, just tell me. I can make the decision here."
Leah was unusually calm.
"Are you Leah? That's just right! Come here! Take her back to me!"
Hanji waved to the soldiers behind him and gave instructions.
"You...what are you going to do?!"
Hearing this, Leah subconsciously took a few steps back.
"His Royal Highness Elwin has an order! Order us to bring you back to the palace!"
As he said that, two knights came up and wanted to take Leah away by force.
"No! I'm not going! You can't take me away!"
Leah shouted in horror.
"That's not up to you! Take her away!"
Seeing the two of them grabbing Leah's arms, Lu Li couldn't stand it anymore.
He does not have a strong sense of justice, nor does he want to be a hero and save the beautiful woman.
He was simply worried that Leah's capture would affect the progress of the auction.
"Stop! Let her go!"
Lu Li took a step forward and shouted.
Hanji was suddenly startled when he heard Lu Li's voice.
"Steve, why are you here?"
Hanji saw that Lu Li was inexplicably frightened.
I had been tricked quite a bit by him before.
"Captain Hanji, what are you doing? You're kidnapping a woman in broad daylight!"
Lu Li asked coldly.
"Steve, get out of the way! I'm not here to trouble you today!"
Hanji said.
"I don't care, you can't kidnap Miss Leia in front of me today anyway!"
Lu Li spoke firmly.
Liya, who was still a little panicked, felt much relieved when she heard Lu Li's words.
She broke free from the restraints and ran to Lu Li's side.
"Mr. Steve, you don't have to speak for me..."
"You seem to have misunderstood. I just don't want to delay the auction process."
Lu Li's words made Leah speechless, and she could only smile awkwardly.
It seems that she is overthinking.
At the moment when Lu Li stepped forward, she saw the ghost-faced figure appear in a trance.
But when she looked again, Lu Li had changed back to his original appearance.
Sure enough, I was just dazzled just now.
For some reason, Leah felt a little disappointed.
"Steve, I advise you not to get involved in this muddy water. It concerns His Highness Alwin, so don't get yourself into trouble! Otherwise... even His Highness Mars can't protect you!"
Hanji warned Lu Li and said.
"Oh? Really? Then I have to intervene today! I want to see what you can do to me? If you have the ability, just give it a try!"
Lu Li also refused to give in at all, and the situation fell into a stalemate for a while.
"Okay! You asked for this! Brothers, come on! Catch this guy!"
