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 came prepared. 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.
