Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) novel Chapter 354

Chapter 354 Little do they know that mediocrity is common in this world .

Do they really think everyone can become a natural genius like Dr.

Lloyd ? Cedric remarked .

Grandpa , stop acting high and mighty , Francesca retorted .

If it werent for Andrew , you wouldnt have gotten such great benefits from this auction either .

Cedric immediately brightened up with a smile .

Well , Dr.

Lloyd certainly helped this old man catch a lucky break today .

While everyone else was excited , Andrew remained remarkably calm .

Lets tally up all the gains and have Ms.

Santana process them , Andrew said casually .

Elsie perked up with surprise , Mr.

Lloyd , youre not taking everything you won today ? Ill take the Blood Phoenix Cicada and the Royal Violet Crystal , Andrew replied .

For the rest , Ill trouble you to convert them to cash .

Though slightly disappointed , Elsie quickly became energized again .

While Andrew took the two best pieces , the remaining items were still valuable and would bring significant profits under Radiant Groups management .

Francesca and Elsie began calculating Andrews spoils , with the breathtaking Blood Phoenix Cicada being the crown jewel that captivated both women .

The Royal Violet Crystal won from Aspen came second a true treasure in its own right , though now belonging to Andrew as part of his victory .

Mr.

Lloyd , here are your total gains from todays auction , Elsie summarized after two minutes .

Three premium gems , plus your Blood Phoenix Cicada , the total value is at least 200 million .

Thats fine .
