The mood in the auction hall shifted in an instant, tension rippling through the crowd as murmurs spread like
wildfire.
“Exactly. Is this pill really as magical as they claim? We haven't seen any proof.”
Sloane lightly pressed her lips together and turned to Lucas. “Mr. Hawthorne, looks like someone's here to stir up
trouble.”
Lucas remained unfazed, his tone calm and assured. “I have confidence in Ms. Sloane.”
Sloane's lips curled slightly at the corners. She said nothing more, keeping her attention on what was happening
in VIP Room 9.
“I demand a live test of this Disguise Pill,” Neil declared, his voice steady but provocative. “And the testing must
be done by my team of specialists.”

The auctioneer looked troubled. Every item in the auction had already been vetted by their own certified
appraisal team. Allowing outside personnel to test the product onstage introduced a host of risks-ones she
wasn't authorized to take.
But Neil's voice echoed through the sound system, laced with challenge. “I understand the rules. But the experts
I've brought are renowned authorities in pharmacology and cosmetic science. Their expertise and neutrality are
beyond question.”
With a raised hand, he signaled his team. Several individuals in white lab coats stepped out of VIP Room 9 and
walked toward the stage with serious expressions.
Their appearance caused a stir in the room.
“Wait-isn’t that Abel Clare, the world-famous pharmacologist? He writes for Nature!”
“And that’s Wei Meili! She's a legend in the beauty industry-her research is used by top cosmetic brands
worldwide!”
“Who are those two in suits with the briefcases?” someone asked as two sharply dressed officials followed the
experts onto the floor.
Neil quickly explained, “To ensure full transparency, I've invited representatives from the International Cosmetic
Standards Certification Alliance to supervise the test on site.”
Casps rippled through the room.

The International Cosmetic Standards Certification Alliance was globally recognized as the most prestigious body
for evaluating beauty products.
Sloane looked calmly at the team setting up on stage. “Neil cprepared. Looks like he’s determined to
humiliate you in front of
in front of everyone.”
Lucas remained composed, his gaze deep and calculating. “Let him test it. If he went to this much trouble, we
might as well use it as free publicity for the Disguise Pill.”
Sloane's eyes flickered. Something about his words sparked a thought, but it passed too quickly to hold onto.
The auctioneer, after a brief exchange with the organizers, gave the green light. Neil's team was allowed to
proceed.
The experts stepped forward and began their work. Instruments were unpacked, scanners calibrated, and one of
the Disguise Pills was carefully examined under intense scrutiny.
The hall grew quiet with anticipation. All eyes were locked on the stage. Even the scrolling comments on the
screen lit up with activity:
“You think the Disguise Pill is really that good?”
“No clue, but Neil is clearly trying to crush Don Auctions.”
“I dunno... Don Auctions looks pretty calm. They must be confident.”
“Don’t be so sure. Neil's not dumb-he must know something, or he wouldn't show up in person like this.”
“Good point.” Dozens of others chimed in, echoing the sentiment.
Neil glanced up at the growing commentary and smiled smugly. Everything was going according to his plan.
