“Who would believe this kind of product to be real?”

“Yes, I also don’t believe it!”

“That’s why I came here to see with my own eyes if it’s true or not!”

The people in the common sitting area started to murmur and the majority of them came here out of curiosity and others came because they don’t want to miss the opportunity like this. If this was true and the effect of the product was real then they will lose out big time then they won’t have a place to regret it later.

Having been in this business circle for long enough for them to develop a special sense where they can tell which can bring them a good opportunity and which can’t, those who are brave enough to believe in it became winners and those who hesitated became looser.

There are always risks involved where big opportunities are hidden and who brace themselves to stride forward are given chances to obtain them.

“Ladies and gentlemen! You don’t have to worry about wasting your time coming here and if by any chance, the product is not satisfactory to you then the product supplier has taken full responsibility to return your money the ten times the price of the product. So without hesitating go ahead and bid for the item as we going to display only three products today and whoever bought the first item will use it here in front of everyone so don’t worry about anything!” Aisa seeing the effect of her speech smiled then riled up more and also decided to worry-free the crowd of people for wasting their time and money by assuring them with nice benefits.

Then a beauty came carrying a plate with three small boxes containing three products after she put them in front of Aisa. Where she was standing had a small place to keep these boxes to show them through the big screen behind her.

“Now then, here are the products for the Auction which are in front of me and as you all can see on the big screen behind me showing the boxes.” Aisa then put them in place so all the people can see them on the big screen up close.

“Now then, everyone! This is our first product and I will give you a brief explanation of what it does!” Aisa said before she opened one of the boxes to show the content inside to everyone and then put the details related paper beside it to let everyone see with their own eyes.

Which has the following things mentioned on it; The product name is The Energy Burst Drink, which is very good for people who tend to overwork themselves and often get sick or have body health become a problem in later dates so this drink is perfect for them as it provides a sudden burst of energy when a person drinks it and last half of day. Which keeps the person in high spirits for a full day and when the effect wore out, the person won’t feel any kind of discomfort. This energy drink is targeted toward salarymen or women who need to work overtime.

“It provides body nourishment from fatigue, tiredness and many more small problems. It is great for health but it can only be taken by people with bone age above twenty otherwise it will have no effect whatsoever. If a person below twenty drinks it then they will feel slight discomfort all over their body and will become tipsy or drunk from it. I explained the main points and the rest you can experience yourself.” Aisa finished with a long-ass explanation with a warning included in it so in the future there won’t be any idiots complaining about it that they didn’t know about it.

The bottle itself is a piece of work that is completely made of crystal and made into nice old fashioned art of work.

A few minutes after letting them sink in the information and contemplate it. Aisa looks at the crowd of people who are now waiting for the bid to start then seeing the time is right, Aisa got ready to announce.

“Now that everyone has become familiar with the details then we will start its bidding process. For this unique product, the minimum price is 100,000 yen and every bid will increase to 10,000 yen. NOW THE BID STARTS!”

*Bang!!*

Aisa exclaim in a loud voice with a trace of excitement and banged the hammer loudly as this type of hosting is the first time she is doing but as she has experience handling the crowd of people daily so she is fine doing that.

“150,000 yen!” A shout came from the person sitting in the common area then like a drop in water making the ripple spread over everyone starts to bid and war finally exploded.

“160,000 yen!!”...

“170,000 yen!!”...

“190,000 yen!!”...

“200,000 yen!!”...

!!....

!!....

Bid then started going on...on, which went like this for half an hour then started to dim down when it reached above million yen.

“So is there anyone else who wants to bid for more?” Aisa saw the crowd’s enthusiasm start to dim down, she asked one last time towards them.

It’s not that those people don’t have the capital to bid but all of them are not sure about the real price of this unknown product.

“10 million yen!!”...

“Hahahahah! If nobody wants it then let this old man try it!” The Old man from the VIP area bid high and laughed with his haggard and exhausted appearance.

“Okay! People if nobody bidding higher for it then this item has been won by the Gentleman from VIP 1 sheeting area. Congratulations, on winning the wondrous product and please move to the stage so you can test the product on the spot and let everyone witness its wonders!” Aisa then concluded the bidding and congratulated the person then called him on the stage for a live test.

“Hello, Mr Toya!” Aisa came forward nodded a little and smiled as a warm greeting.

“Hmm! Thank you, Ms Aisa, for the opportunity. Hahahah! This old man has been getting tired lately from the overwork so I hope this product will work and if it does then I like to place the order for the product in advance, Ms Aisa!” Old man Toya thank Aisa for the warm welcome and hospitality as respect towards her then laughed to ease his nervousness as he also fretted over the situation that after today if these products are real and their effect are as they are described then the future market will be turmoil. Mr Toya was having all kinds of thoughts his mind making a mess then shaking his head, he stood up facing the crowd beside Ms Aisa.

Then Aisa took the box which has been opened beforehand to show them the crystal bottle inside it which hold the product ‘The Energy Burst Drink’ then gave it to old man Toya which he hold like a treasure afraid to breaking it in the fall by accident.

“Now you can try drinking it, go on everyone is waiting for your response, Mr Toya!” Aisa said with extreme expectation in her eyes as she has already confirmed with her eyes that it’s not harmful and it is positively effective in human health but how much she hasn’t seen it with her eyes yet so this will also be her first time witnessing something like that.

“Okay!” Old man Toya nodded toward Aisa then took the bottle out with one hand and kept the box aside which is handed to the person who is following him around.

“*Pop!!*”

In the silent hall, the sound of a cork opening was heard everywhere then old man Toya took the bottle in his mouth and then gulp it down.

*Gulp!!* *Gulp!!*

“Hey! Did it not work?” A random mob in the crowd said in a silent voice but in the quiet hall, everyone nearby heard him.

Then peanut gallery started to get rowdy.

“What happened? Did it work or not? I can’t see anything from here!” Another mob character shouted.

“Maybe it will take time for it to work!” another mob reminded everyone not too impatient.

“Old man Toya, did you feel any changes on your body?” Another old man from the VIP area asked with a loud voice.

“Hmmm! I am not feeling anything at the moment!” Old man Toya replied and also waiting for its effect.

Then a few seconds later.

“Ohhhh! What is this feeling?” Old man Toya’s body started to shine a little then same time changes happen inside his body which made him full of energy.

“Hahahahaha! This feels amazing! Ohh! Wow! I can’t believe it worked and I am full of energy after drinking it. It’s like I have returned to my prime days and even if I work a full day, I won’t get exhausted at all, hahahahaha!!!” The Old man said laughing in excitement feeling a renewed energy inside him which gave him a feeling like he has returned to his youthful days.

“Wow! So it’s the real deal. Can I check your body condition for a bit? Old man Toya, to make sure it’s real!” The old man came up to the stage just a few minutes after seeing the effect on the person and then ask the old man Toya to confirm his guesses.

“Hey! Who is that old man and did you see just now, Mr Toya’s body gave off shine even for just a moment but I saw it!” The young man in the crowd asked rubbing his eyes from the friend beside him who also have a hand in his eyes and blinked them seeing the magical scene.

“Hey! Ignorant dumbass where did you come from that you don’t even know such a great figure. This person is the no.1 doctor of the capital city hospital who came to visit our city for a business. Ahhh! how lucky! I didn’t know that I get to see him in person today!” The man sitting two-seat behind heard him asking to which this guy took it as an insult as this random guy here idolized this great figure of the doctor.

Then he started his speech about how great he is and why he is famous.

“Hey! You shit head, could you shut up? I don’t want to miss what Dr Hirono is about to say!” Another mob shouted with an angry voice which quit down the guy.

On the stage, Dr Hirono checked Mr Toya for a few moments and then came up to a conclusion with disbelief still in his eyes like he did not believe what was happening in front of his eyes.

“Hmmm! Your health condition is more than just healthy. It’s more like you have two or three people’s health combined in your body. It’s unheard of so seeing the evidence in front of my eyes I can say that this product is the real deal.” Dr Hirono checked Mr Toya by measuring his pulse and heartbeats but with his experience what he found quite astonishing to him.

As he already knows Mr Toya’s health condition because of his old age Mr Toya often comes to the Capital hospital to check up on his health as his body constitution has gotten weaker over the years because he maintains a tight schedule on his work and sometimes overdoing it so this led to his health deteriorate slowly than over time it became like where he can’t even move his body without feeling discomfort all over.

Mr Hirono has seen Mr Toya’s condition before so he knew that this is just a miracle otherwise, how could Mr Toya be this healthy all of a sudden, he can only conclude that the product was the real deal.

“Hahaha! Dr Hirono, I am perfectly fine and matter of fact, I never felt this healthy before.” Mr Toya said with a hearty laugh and patted Dr Hirono’s shoulder.
