NOVPUBChapter 896: Chapter 593: Adoration from the Princess Chapter 896 -593: Adoration from the Princess Sophie was a princess from Denmark, and she had come to attend the Longevity Club鈥檚 gathering, representing the entire Denmark Royal Family.
Like several other princes and princesses, Sophie had also kept a low profile this time.
Except for that moment during the auction when she made the third bid, calling out a price of five million, which was quickly surpassed, she hadn鈥檛 made any other noticeable appearances.
Unlike before, Sophie鈥檚 attendance this time on behalf of the entire Denmark Royal Family was to acquire a Longevity Pill.
However, upon seeing the dazzling array of tasks in the mission hall, she did not have the courage to casually accept one.
The tasks clearly required a certain level of connections and experience, and many involved enterprises and strategies within Hua Country, leaving her feeling at a loss on where to begin.
At the following Longevity Pill auction, she bid five million out of desperation, yet she had to reluctantly give up when the price of the Longevity Pill soared to eight hundred million.
...
Of course, for this visit, the royal family had also prepared a substantial starting fund for her, totaling thirty-five million.
She had originally thought that with this sum of money, she could easily obtain a No.
1 Longevity Pill, but now it seemed she had been too naive.
At least among this gathering of wealthy elites, a few tens of millions in funds really seemed quite insignificant.
At this moment, Sophie sat with Prince Ben Hesed of Dubai, Prince Awalid of Saudi, Prince Edward of Britain, and a few other princesses and heirs.
Their table had only seven or eight people, but the identities they represented were extremely prestigious, and even billionaires with fortunes in the hundreds of billions had to treat them with respect.
The princes mostly conversed about topics like cars and private islands; Sophie pretended to listen attentively, but in her heart, she was pondering how she could complete her task and obtain a Longevity Pill.

Among those seated with her, the Saudi King had already accepted a task, as had Prince Ben Hesed of Dubai, and Ross heir Geng Pan had opted for a C-level task.
The princes around her had all completed their tasks and were reaping their rewards, with only herself left empty-handed.
Sophie glanced sideways at a group of top tycoons engaged in lively conversation; she knew that if she didn鈥檛 seize this opportunity to obtain a Longevity Pill, once the banquet ended, she would no longer have a chance to approach Mr.
Chu.
Therefore, she picked up the wine glass in front of her, drained the liquid in it in one gulp, and after feeling a slight warmth on her cheeks, she poured herself another glass of wine for courage, stood up, took a deep breath, and then walked towards the group of tycoons.
By now the banquet had entered its later stages, and many people in the hall had set aside their dishes and were chatting in small groups, so Sophie鈥檚 departure from her seat did not draw the attention of others.
As she drew closer to the man, Sophie鈥檚 heart unexpectedly began to beat faster.
She was nervous.
Strangely enough, as a princess, she was accustomed to encountering many princes and high officials, and she had even joined her father, the King of Denmark, in receiving the head of state from America during official visits.
Never during those times had Sophie felt nervous, but now, she had the rare sensation of a racing heartbeat.
Taking a quiet breath, she composed herself and slowly approached the young man with the golden glasses.
Just as she was about to speak, the white-haired old man next to the young man, known as the godfather of luxury goods, slowly said:
鈥淢r.
Chu, I don鈥檛 need two hundred and fifty billion, just two hundred billion.
Take Herm脙篓s off my hands, and besides that, add ten percent of Patek Philippe鈥檚 shares, plus the condition of cooperation with ten top luxury brands and 鈥楢pril in the Human World.鈥 For a SS-level membership in the Longevity Club, surely, Mr.
Chu, you won鈥檛 even refuse this?鈥
Upon hearing the white-haired old man鈥檚 words, Sophie stopped abruptly, her entire body tensing up. no𝚟𝚙u𝚋.c𝚘m
Herm脙篓s was going to change ownership?
As a princess, Sophie was naturally a regular customer of various luxury brands; one of her favored brands was Herm脙篓s.
Her palace was home to an entire collection of Herm脙篓s, including bags, bracelets, earrings, and even the bedside lamps bore the Herm脙篓s brand.
Not to overstate, but even by conservative estimates, including the Herm脙篓s crystal diamond necklace around her neck worth 7.7 million, the total value of Herm脙篓s goods that Sophie had purchased for her household surpassed thirty million.
That Sophie alone had contributed thirty million to the brand highlights Herm脙篓s鈥 tremendous influence as the world鈥檚 second-ranked luxury brand.
As a loyal fan of Herm脙篓s, Sophie had learned that the valuation of Herm脙篓s should be between two hundred and seventy billion and three hundred billion.
Yet now, Edward, the CEO behind Herm脙篓s, known as the godfather of luxury goods, was actually willing to sell Herm脙篓s for only two hundred billion?
If she had that much money, she would undoubtedly buy the world鈥檚 second-ranked top luxury brand without any hesitation.
Swallowing lightly, Sophie, who had already taken a step, subconsciously retracted her foot.
