The Strongest Man in the Universe

Chapter 529

However, even so, they must also follow standard procedures. The old man then called a middle-aged man to check the item.

At this moment David suddenly said, “Marlee, you have to go first! I have to take care of something. I'll be back later."

"alright. After Marlee said that, she invited the middle-aged man over to check her belongings. Now, only David, the old man, and the veiled woman were left in the room. The old man and veiled woman looked at David curiously. They don't know why he stayed.

"Master, I would like to ask, is there an auction to be held at Treasure Trove?" David asked with a hint of hope.

"Auctioneers? Do you want to participate in the auction?" the old man asked suspiciously.

"Yes, that's right!"

“There should be quite a lot of auctions in the big trade zone! If you want to participate in one of them, you can go out and ask the small trading company.”

“Master, you misunderstood. I would like to participate in an auction held by a trading company that is at the Treasure Trove level, not that small trading company.”

“Son, I can understand that you want to get more experience, but you should know that every item is priced at sky-high prices at Treasure Trove auctions. With all due respect, the six billion Star Dollars you get from the sale of crude nuclear magnet ore is nothing. The items auctioned all started from tens of billions of Star Dollars." explained the old man.

He thought David was from somewhere far away in Star Kingdom and he wanted to participate in the grand auction to gain more experience. Unfortunately, not everyone can participate in the event.

Those who could participate were all heirs or spokesmen of the main forces of Star Kingdom.

David is a little excited. 'Everything starts with tens of billions of Stars Dollars?

That would all be a luxury point! If I can earn hundreds of luxury points from ordinary items, doesn't that mean I can earn hundreds or even thousands of luxury points for better items?'

Even casually buying something would cause his strength to increase drastically.

David suppressed the excitement in his heart and said, “Master, I want to participate in an auction like this. I can find what I need there. Let alone me and Marlee not being together, we just met on the street. Since our destination was the Central Sacred Continent, we decided to go together."

"Not together?" The old man began to observe David after hearing that.

He felt neutral before he closely observed David, but when observing more closely, he was shocked. He could not see through this person in front of him. It was as if there was a layer of mist enveloping David's body tightly, preventing him from revealing anything.

The old man was a powerful mid-Sovereign Ranker Eternal Realm, but he could not see through a young man.

'This kid is not simple!'

“I'm too careless. My name is Elmer Whitlock. What's your name, son?” The old man asked.

“Old Master Whitlock, you are too humble. My name is David Lidel!!” answer David.

“Good, David! I'd like to know what you want to buy. Treasure Trove was one of the top five trading companies in the Sacred Continent of the Center. We have whatever you need. You don't have to participate in the auction" Elmer said.

'What do I want to buy?' David was confused by this question.

He doesn't know what he wants to buy. He just wants to spend some money. He'll buy anything expensive. If Elmer wanted him to say what he wanted to buy, David wouldn't be able to mention it. He had just come to Star Kingdom, so he did not understand this place and he did not know what the most expensive items were available.

However, since Elmer asked her, it felt inappropriate for her to not answer. David had to show his wealth, otherwise, how could the other party allow him to participate in the grand auction?

David had no idea what was expensive in Star Kingdom, but he knew there was one thing that was definitely not cheap. He also has one. It was a Soulbound Weapon that could be used by the Eternal Golden Body to increase the Eternals' combat power.

David had heard Amadi say that even in Star Kingdom, Soulbound Weapons were rare elite treasures. In the entire Star Kingdom, at least 80% of the Eternals did not possess Soulbound Weapons. It's obvious how valuable this thing is. The unscrupulous merchant, Lou, did not have it, otherwise, he would not have admitted defeat the moment David took out the Soulbound Weapon.

“Old Master Whitlock, I want Soulbound Weapon. I wonder if you have it in Treasure Trove?" ask David.

"You want to buy a Soulbound Weapon?" Elmer asked in surprise.

Elmer was surprised by what he said. 'Did he say he wanted to buy a lot of treasures and the Soulbound Weapon was just one of the things he was targeting?

What treasure does this child want to buy?

Were they all on the same level as Soulbound Weapons?'

Of course, Treasure Trove, as the top five trading companies in the Central Sacred Continent, possessed treasures that were on the same level as Soulbound Weapons. Moreover, they have a lot. However, they would not take it out easily and sell it privately.

They would only take a few of them during the great auction. They could only sell weapons at high prices if the rich fought over them during the auction. Most weapons will be sold for more than value. Sometimes, the price can even double. At the same time, it can greatly improve the reputation of the trading company.

It will kill two birds with one stone! Trading companies would not achieve such an effect by selling weapons directly. Hence, ordinary treasures could only be bought at auction. Although Elmer felt that David was not simple, he did not expect that the other party would buy a treasure that was the same level as the Soulbound Weapon once he opened his mouth. It seems he has underestimated David.

The veiled woman had stepped aside without saying a word, but at this moment, there was a hint of shock in her eyes. David was able to purchase a treasure like the Soulbound Weapon at such a young age, and he not only wanted it. It seemed like he came from an extremely powerful force, and he had quite a high status.

“David, Soulbound Weapon is not cheap, are you sure you want to buy it? Are you kidding me?" Elmer asked seriously.

"of course! Old Master Whitlock, don't worry, I'm definitely not kidding. As long as you want to sell, you can demand whatever price you like and I won't negotiate." David replied seriously.

Looking at David's expression, Elmer was sure he wasn't joking. Then, he changed his question and asked." May I know where you are from?”

David knew that the other party was asking for his background. He wanted to see if David had the strength to purchase the Soulbound Weapon. David did not know how to answer this question.

He can't tell the truth. If Elmer knew his background and that he was from a level 3 civilization, he would definitely kick him out.

It is also unrealistic to make up stories on the spot. The other party was among the top five trading companies in the Central Sacred Continent. Their network would be huge, and they would know if David was lying just by wondering. David thought for a moment, and it seemed like he could only answer the question faintly. Only in this way could he temporarily calm the other party down and obtain permission to participate in the grand auction.

“Old Mr. Whitlock, I know what you mean, but I'm afraid I have to let you down. I don't have a strong background and I always practice with my masters. I was just released to learn through experience. As for where my employer is, I'm sorry, but I can't tell you." replied David.

Elmer looked at David. He wanted to read something from David's expression or emotion. However, David's performance was almost perfect. He observed for a while but was unable to find any flaws at all. David said that he had been training with his master the entire time. It is not easy to determine the authenticity of this statement.

There were certain figures that came from a long line of masters in Star Kingdom, but it was extremely rare. Even the vast Treasure Trove information network only knew two or three people.

“David, can you tell me your master's name? I might know him too." continued Elmer.

“Old Mr. Whitlock, I'm sorry. The teacher told me that when I came out, I had to fight on my own. I cannot name it unless it is my last resort or if I am in a critical moment of life or death. Otherwise, I will be punished." David shook his head and replied.

His words made Elmer drown in his thoughts. 'He can't name his master unless it's a last resort or in a life-and-death situation?'

There are many hidden meanings in this sentence. 'Does that mean that once David faces a life-and-death crisis, it will be resolved as long as he mentions his master's name?

How much power and fame do you need to achieve such an effect? Even Pre-Saint wouldn't dare to say that, would he?

Was this child master an expert master above True Saint Rank in the Saint Realm?

Impossible! True Saint Rank and above had absolute power in the Star Kingdom. There were not many of them in Star Kingdom. Of course, we cannot rule out that some hide in the dark and are unwilling to show themselves. If so, David would be the most honored guest I have ever received. He was probably the only disciple of a Sacred Saint. In Star Kingdom, such a figure could do whatever he wanted, commit crimes against humanity or even insult another Sacred Saint. I cannot afford to offend this child now, regardless of whether it is true or not. If that was true, even Treasure Trove could not protect me if I offended him. However, I still have to think carefully about whether what David said was true or not and I cannot cross the line. If it turns out to be wrong, it would be very embarrassing.'

Elmer actually somewhat believed in David in his heart. The main reason for this was because he really could not see through this young man. He was a Mid-Sovereign Ranker. He had been in the Treasure Trove for many years and had received countless guests of all kinds. Hence, he had developed a pair of sharp eyes.

There weren't many young people in Star Kingdom that he couldn't see. Each of them was a top genius in the Star Kingdom and they all had the support of the super strong power behind them. If David could stand beside them, he shouldn't be too weak even if he didn't tell the truth.

The veiled woman also looked at David curiously. He's not as strong as Elmer, nor is he as smart. However, he had no advantages in terms of comprehension. David clearly said that his master was very strong. As long as David mentioned his name, any crisis in Star Kingdom could be resolved.

Anyone who can do this must be at the Saint Realm, and they might not even be an ordinary Saint. A disciple of such a powerful person naturally aroused his curiosity.
