Chapter 1299 Going All Out
“Five million? It’s no wonder the Stratford family, a prestigious clan, is so generous,” murmured many people, both from Lenny’s side and Healwell’s group. To them, five million was a rare windfall.
“Sebastian, this is a family recipe passed down through generations, and it’s not for sale. I’m afraid you’ll be disappointed,” Dustin said calmly.
He could tell what the other party was trying to do when they suddenly acted so generously.
A mere five million to buy a rare ancient formula was absurd.
“It seems that Dr. Rhys thinks it’s too little?” Sebastian continued to smile. “Alright, since we have this connection, I’ll double it for you. I’ll offer you ten million!”
“Ten million? This is Sebastian going all out!” The crowd became even more excited.
You see, this sum was something they wouldn’t earn in their lifetimes. Even Lenny, who had taken on this job and risked his life, would only receive a meager reward of around a hundred thousand.
Now, Dustin had created a prescription that could sell for ten million. It was truly enviable.
“Dr. Rhys, ten million is not a small amount. It’s enough to live comfortably for a lifetime. Looking at the entire Southern City, only our Stratford family can offer such a high price!” Sebastian seized the opportunity.
To ordinary commoners, ten million was the limit they could earn in their lifetime. The average salary in Stonia was only around a hundred thousand a year, so in ten years, it would be just one million. As for ten million, regular people would have to work hard for a hundred years to earn it.
The temptation was overwhelming!
“Sebastian, I’ve already made it clear. This is a family recipe, and it’s not for sale,” Dustin calmly declined.
“Hmm?”
Hearing this, Sebastian couldn’t help but frown, but he quickly regained his smile. “Dr. Rhys, our Stratford family is in desperate need of talent, and we sincerely want this formula. I hope you can bear the pain and part with it. How about this, to show our sincerity, we’ll offer you two million right away!”
“As long as you agree, two million will be transferred to your account immediately!”
“Dr. Rhys, opportunities don’t come twice. This is our bottom line.”
In the end, he added, “Two million is a huge sum. It’s enough for you to make a decision that goes against your ancestors. What do you say?”
A prescription of this caliber was worth at least a billion to start with. If they could obtain it for two million, it would be a great achievement for the Stratford family when they returned.
“Sebastian, it seems you haven’t understood me. Let me repeat,” Dustin’s tone gradually became more intense. “The formula for Jade Dew Ointment is a closely guarded secret, and it’s not for sale. Please leave.”
“Hmm?”
At these words, Sebastian’s smile instantly vanished, replaced by a dark expression. “Dr. Rhys, there’s never been anything that our Stratford family couldn’t obtain.”
“If you refuse our Stratford family, do you know what the consequences will be?”
“Two million is a huge sum, and let alone buying a prescription, it can buy your life without any problems!” By the end of his speech, Sebastian’s gaze had become particularly menacing.
His tone was filled with threats.
He had been polite enough, even willing to entice him with a large sum of money. He didn’t expect this kid to be so ungrateful.
If soft tactics didn’t work, then they would have to resort to hard ones.
