Under everyone’s gaze, Archimedes finally spoke.He was not as angry as everyone expected.He asked calmly, “What’s your name?”“I am who I am. Archimedes, listen closely, my name is David Lidell, and remember, this will be a name that will make you feel fear and despair,” David said arrogantly and despotically.He looked exactly like a hedonist from a major force.“David Lidell? Alright! I’ll remember you. However, it’s still too early to say who will make who feel fear and despair,” Archimedes suppressed the anger in his heart and snapped.If he was not worried about letting down his seniors and affecting his plan of inheriting the family, Archimedes would have asked Bernard to kill David and make him experience what it was like to suffer a fate worse than death.“Oh? Archimedes, how long has it been since we last met. Have you already forgotten what happened at the tavern? I guess I didn’t punish you enough. If I knew this would have happened, I would have crippled you so tha
David was amused when he saw how much Archimedes wanted to kill him and how his expression looked as if his parents had died.If looks could kill, Archimedes might have already killed him multiple times.Archimedes still had no idea David killed Cornelius.What would he think if he knew?Archimedes was seething but he was not doing anything.Therefore, David knew he was right.Archimedes would not do anything in this auction.‘Yes, your family owns Splendor, one of the top five trading companies in the Central Sacred Continent, but the Fellowes family is not weak either.‘Treasure Trove is also one of the top five trading companies.‘As the saying goes, people in the same industries are enemies.‘So, the Fellowes and Lightfoot families would not have a good relationship.‘They’re being very kind by letting you come to the auction. If you dare to make trouble here, you will have to suffer the Fellowes family’s wrath.‘Archimedes, you’re just an heir, not the head of the fami
Archimedes had never lost when it came to competing in wealth.Since he suffered such a defeat in front of David, he had to retaliate. Hence, he increased the price by another 300 billion.“1.7 trillion!” David gritted his teeth and yelled.Even though he pretended to be mad, he was overjoyed on the inside.‘Yes, baby. That’s it. You have to persevere. Don’t back out. Anyone who backs out is a coward.’David wanted to call out 2 trillion, but he gave up that thought afterward.He could only get more benefits with a long-term plan.If he stunned Archimedes too quickly, it would be over if Archimedes decided to give up.“2 trillion!” Archimedes called out casually.His expression contrasted David’s.David was gritting his teeth in anger, while Archimedes looked indifferent.Archimedes felt a little better when he saw David like that.However, this was not enough.No matter what, he had to torture David before killing him.He would only feel better that way.“2.2 trillion!”
Archimedes was the one who called out 5 trillion.This price was almost at the limit of the funds he could use.The Lightfoot Family controlled Splendor, one of the top five trading companies, so it was one of the richest forces in Star Kingdom.However, it would not give so much funds to its direct descendants to have fun.There were rules concerning how much money a direct descendant could use.This was related to their status, ability, and how much they contributed to the family.Archimedes was the first-in-line heir of the family, so he had the highest status among his generation.At the same time, he was a partial Sovereign Ranker, which was also the highest among his generation.Therefore, Archimedes could use more funds compared to the other direct descendants.However, he had spent a part of it over the years, so he did not have much left.This was unless he could go from partial Sovereign Rank to Sovereign Rank, or make a huge contribution to the family. If not, his
If he known this would happen, he would stay there and only come out after he broke through to Sovereign Rank.He would have avoided all of this if he did.However, at this moment, Archimedes was put on the spot.So many people were watching. If he admitted defeat now, he would be so embarrassed.When he was about to continue the bidding, Bernard whispered in his ear next to him, “Master, calm down. You don’t have a lot of funds left. Also, it won’t increase before you break through to Sovereign Rank. If you spend everything in one go, it will be difficult.”Bernard knew his master wanted to beat David, so he did not say anything back then.However, as things got out of hand, he had to say something.If he allowed his master to continue, this might not end well.A mid-level Soulbound Weapon had been raised to a sky-high price of 5 trillion. This was too much.It was not worth it at all.Furthermore, they did not have enough funds.“Uncle Bernard, you’ve been with me for so m
“Archimedes, I told you that even if I go bankrupt and get scolded by my master, I won’t allow you to act so arrogantly in front of me. Do you think you’re safe if you ask for 8 trillion? I’m sorry, I’m going to ask for 9 trillion. I don’t believe you’ll still dare to continue bidding. Your family is loaded, but you’re not the head of the family yet. You’re just an heir so you won’t be able to use so much money,” David looked at Archimedes and yelled.He looked as if he was throwing caution in the wind and was determined to fight to the end with Archimedes.‘9 trillion!’Archimedes was stunned.He thought he was mad, but he did not expect to meet someone madder than him.David was willing to spend 9 trillion for a mid-level Soulbound Weapon just because he was acting in a fit of rage.In the end, he even added 1 trillion directly to the price.This should be David’s limit, judging from his face.If Archimedes continued, David would surely stop.However, it would not be easy.
If not, his Saint Realm dream would go down the drain.“Haha, time’s up. Miss Fellowes, tell everyone who the Hammer of Thunder will go to now! Archimedes is a coward. He doesn’t dare to bid anymore. I was right just now. He’s just an heir, how could he have so much money? The Lightfoot family is rich, but it’s their money. Archimedes can’t represent his family. I guess I’ve won. Archimedes Lightfoot, admit your defeat! You will only live in my shadow for the rest of your life. You will never walk out of it, haha!”After David said that, he chortled.He seemed to feel joyful beating Archimedes.Archimedes was still hesitating, but when he heard what David said and his ear-piercing chortle, it felt as if he had been smashed across the head.Archimedes was seeing stars.‘No! I can’t let that punk step all over me!‘I can’t lose no matter how big the price is!’Before he could think clearly, Archimedes yelled out another price.“10 trillion!”Just like David, he added another 1
To stop Archimedes from acting on his rage and causing things to escalate to an uncontrollable stage, Bernard contemplated for a very long time before deciding to take Archimedes away.The price of the Hammer of Thunder was 10 times more than its original value. If Master Achi called out another price, it would only continue to rise.This premium was unreasonable.Even if Master Archi won and bought it, he would still become the laughing stock of the outside world.Everyone would talk about him whenever they were gossiping, ‘Was Archimedes dropped on his head when he was born? He bought a mid-level Soulbound Weapon for 10 times its price just because he wanted to win? He’s the embodiment of having only money and no brains.’The most important thing was that they simply could not take out so much money now. When that happened, they would need the family to clean up their mess.After weighing the pros and cons, Bernard figured he could not sit idly by.Since he could not talk Arch
