Since he was in a hurry to escape, he did not notice what was happening behind him. If that old Sovereign Ranker started to bother him, he had no choice but to fight.
David will increase his strength after the auction. If Archimedes dared to bother him again, David would not mind killing him. After all, he had killed the second line heir, Cornelius, and he would never have a good relationship with the Lightfoot family, so it was fine if he killed another one again.
David looked at the time and saw that there was still an hour left. David didn't want to find another place to wait if something happened again. Therefore, he directly walked over to the Treasure Trove auction venue. This auction was the Treasure Trove's grand event.
The goal is to get back some of his old clients. Since they used a lot of time to prepare it, they invited many guests, made it very large, and prepared many of their precious treasures. Treasure Trove has gone to great lengths for this. They must regain their previous reputation.
When David arrived, people entered the venue with their invitations. Since people entered the place, why should he hesitate? With that, he walked towards the entrance. Once there, a guard stopped him.
“Master, please show us your invitation card."
David hands Mick the invitation card he gave him. After the guard saw him and made sure there was no problem, he returned the card to David and said politely, “Please come in, Mr.” At the same time, he gestured with his hand.
After retrieving his card, David steps into the venue to wait for the auction to begin.
On the other hand, Archimedes realized that it was he who left the pungent-smelling liquid. Finally, he realized that he was so scared earlier that he wet the bed. He cannot accept the reality. He wanted to kill everyone on the scene, but he could not.
Therefore, he could only say with gritted teeth, “If anyone here would dare to say a word about what happened here, then, they will suffer endless pursuits from my family until their entire bloodline is annihilated.”
Bernard then released his late stage Sovereign Rank energy to intimidate everyone on the scene.
“Do not worry, Mr. Archimedes, we will never talk about what happened today.”
“I don't see anything."
"I also. I didn't even see Master Archimedes today.” Everybody said.
If word of what happened today were to spread, it would be news that shocked Star Kingdom. But none of them would dare to do so. How could they still survive in the Central Sacred Continent if they offended the Lightfoot family?
When Archimedes appeared, he was the most dazzling person on the scene. The young ladies on the 9th floor all threw curious gazes at him. After learning who Archimedes was, their curiosity turned into admiration.
Now, they just looked at him with disdain and disgust. He is the first heir of a large family, and also the future head of the family, but he wet the bed after being feared by an unknown young boy. No matter how noble he was, he would never be able to reverse that fact again. Someone like this would never get their recognition.
Even if they did not dare to say anything and did not dare to pinch their noses due to the abuse and tyrannical pressure of Archimedes, they already felt disgust towards him.
Instead, they loved David more and more. The boy was not only handsome, but he was also so strong that he looked terrifying. David was not afraid after Archimedes told everyone that he was the first heir to the Lightfoot family.
At the same time, he even managed to leave unscathed after the late stage Sovereign Ranker took action, then scared Archimedes into bedwetting. Not everyone can do such a feat.
Everyone on the 9th floor wanted to leave as quickly as possible. This is because the puddles left behind by Archimedes were too stinging. No one dared to cover his nose, so they could only endure the stench. They were worried that they would provoke Archimedes and get themselves killed.
If someone from the Lightfoot family killed them, they would never be able to beg for justice. Their families would not do that for them at the risk of annihilation. Hence, no one dared to do anything before Archimedes spoke. The 9th floor was very quiet. One could even hear the pin drop.
After a moment of silence, Archimedes said, “I hope you do as you say. Otherwise, don't blame me for being merciless. Don't think I won't notice if you guys do some dirty tricks behind my back. I will remember all of you here and if word of this spreads, I will tell you that my family does not overestimate our capabilities. You should know one thing. What happened today is not just about this, it's about the name of my whole family.You should know how serious it is to get word out."
After he said that, Archimedes looked at everyone as if he wanted to remember their faces. The people he saw lowered their heads subconsciously, not daring to look into his eyes.
Then, Archimedes said, “Uncle Bernard, let's go. Immediately, he left one step in front of Bernard while Bernard followed behind.
After Archimedes left the 9th floor, everyone heaved a sigh of relief. It was extremely stressful being around the frontline heirs of the Lightfoot family and the late stage Sovereign Rankers.
Everyone knew that if there were fewer of them around, or they did not have many Sovereign Rankers, things would end badly today. Archimedes had shown his intention to kill, and he wanted to kill everyone in the room to prevent news of this from coming out. However, he soon realized that he was unable to do so, which was why he gave up that thought.
If he had one more late stage Sovereign Ranker with him, he would not let anyone stay alive.
Soon, one of the Mid-Sovereign Rankers stood up and said, “Everything, we all know what kind of family the Lightfoot family is. Not only did they control Splendor, one of the top five trading companies and had countless fortunes, but they also had giants like the Ginger family backing them. Therefore, we cannot offend them. So please, keep what happened today a secret. If not, everyone will get in trouble. Don't involve anyone else if any of you want to approach death."
"He's right! Mr. Archimedes is the first heir of the Lightfoot family, and he will be the future head of the family, so that he can represent the Lightfoot family. Plus, Cornelius, the heir to the second line, died mysteriously recently and they have yet to find the killer. The Lightfoot family had nowhere to vent its anger, so if anyone provoked them now, they would definitely be blown to pieces and their families would also be implicated. So please take care of your mouth." added a novice Sovereign Ranker.
“This is related to the lives of all of us, and you guys are definitely not stupid. Therefore, I'm sure you all know what to do. Keep what happened today a secret and don't tell anyone no matter how close your relationship is to them. After it was revealed and the Lightfoot family was enraged, no one could bear the consequences." said another Mid-Sovereign Ranker as well.
This person was the elder of the young man who had just had a fight with Louie. Since the two Mid-Sovereign Rankers had spoken, everyone else had promised that they would not say a word about what happened. Once everyone has made an appointment, they will leave.
This guarantees that no one will talk about what happened today. After all, it concerns their lives and their families. They could not afford to offend the Lightfoot family.
At this moment, Angelica suddenly stood up and said, “Everything, there is something I want to say but I don't know if it's worth it.”
“Tell me what you want to say, Honey.”
“I think we're all here in the same boat, so no one will be safe if anything happens. I think we should get each other's contact details. If something happens, it will be easier to communicate and relate, or we can also warn each other first. What do you think of all?” ask Angelica.
His words reminded most of the people on the scene, especially the Sovereign Rankers. They all hurriedly wanted to leave this place, so they never thought about it. Why did they leave this place alive?
Not because Archimedes was kind. Instead, it was because he was not strong enough. Will Archimedes kill everyone here secretly after he returns to his family and gains enough strength?
Archimedes is not only likely to do that, but the chances of him doing so are very high. If everyone left without sharing their contact details, Archimedes would easily kill them in secret. It would not be the same if they had contact with each other.
Once Archimedes does something, they can contact each other and then spread the word. If Archimedes had known this, he would not have dared to do anything for the reputation of himself and his family. This is the best way to stop Archimedes. Angelica's words were very helpful to everyone here. Of course, he also helped himself.
"Dear, what's your name? Where you from?" One of the old Mid-Sovereign Rankers asked.
“Old Master, my name is Angelica Dolce and I am from the Heavenly Sect.” replied Angelica.
“Secte Heavenly? You mean the one from the West Sand Galaxy?” The old man looked up and asked.
"Yes! Do you know about the Heavenly Sect?"
"of course! I passed by the place and heard about you guys.”
“If you pass West Sand next time, you should go visit Heavenly Sect.” Angelica invites.
“Since you have invited me, I will definitely leave if I have time.”
“Then, this is a deal!”
"That's a deal!"
“Nona Angelica, I will also go visit the Heavenly Sect if I have the chance. Will you welcome me?” Ask the burly middle-aged beginner Sovereign Rank.
"of course! Please stop by!” Angelica smiled and replied.
"Ha ha ha ha. All righty! That deal. I will definitely go visit the Heavenly Sect. I want to see who the family has raised such a sweet little girl like you." the burly man laughed out loud.
Other than the people who had just sparred with Louie, everyone stated that they wanted to go visit the Heavenly Sect if they had the chance. Angelica is a favorite of everyone.
What he said earlier was too useful for everyone. It's no exaggeration to say that it might save everyone's life. It makes everyone like it more. The two old novice Sovereign Rankers raised their thumbs towards Angelica.
After exchanging their pleasantries and contacts, everyone left. As for why they did it, everyone was very aware. Archimedes wouldn't just let them go. He would definitely look for an opportunity to kill them one by one if there was a chance.
Archimedes was waiting for Bernard in a remote corner not far from the tavern. They didn't go far after they left. Instead, Archimedes sent Bernard back to scout to see what the people would say.
Archimedes did plan to kill them one by one after this. He'll never be sure if they don't die. No matter how high his achievements were or how strong he was in the future. Everyone who saw him wet his bed like a nail that was plugged into the heart of Archimedes.
He would not be able to eat or sleep without worry. He could only do whatever he wanted to do without worry after he put away all those spikes. However, the pretext was that he could not let those people divulge what happened today before. He had to make sure they shut up and then slowly get rid of them all.
Bernard was a late stage Sovereign Ranker, so no one would notice it if he returned discreetly. Even the two Mid-Sovereign Rankers were unaware of his presence. Although their rank was only slightly below Bernard's, Bernard had the strength of mind while their mind strength was still in the nurturing stage. The perceptions of both sides were also far apart. Archimedes did not wait long before Bernard returned.
“How, Uncle Bernard? What did they say?" ask Archimedes.
“Don't worry, Mr. Archi. Our family is strong, so we are still very intimidating. After we left, they all said that they would not speak a word about what happened today and they would keep this a secret forever" Bernard replied.
"That's great. It's just as I expected. They would never dare to reveal this even if I gave them all the courage in the world. Otherwise, I will wipe out their entire bloodline." Archimedes nodded and replied.
He was happy with this result. He remembered the faces of everyone at the scene. Now, he will wait until he returns to use his family's vast network to find out everyone's identity. Then, he would make them disappear from this world in secret.
“But Mr. Archi, something happened before they left.” Bernard continued.
"What's that?" Archimedes asked quickly.
For some reason, he had a bad feeling. What Uncle Bernard said later might affect his next plan.
“Everyone promised they wouldn't say anything about what happened today, but when they were about to leave, a girl named Angelica Dolce asks them all to exchange contact information so they can contact each other. Everyone agreed, and they only left after exchanging contacts."
"What! Those bastards exchanged contacts?" Archimedes asked angrily.
"Yes, they weren't originally going to do that, but it was all because of that Angelica boy that they ended up doing" Bernard replied.
He has been with Archimedes for so long and he can say that he helped raise Archimedes. He knew Archimedes very well. He must have wanted to kill all the witnesses so he could calm down.
Even if everyone was dead, Bernard had a premonition that one day, Archimedes would also kill him once his strength surpassed him. Bernard was also one of his witnesses. According to Bernard, Archimedes was a very selfish and cruel man.
He had the potential to become a formidable expert fighter, but he was not a good master. Of course, this was only Bernard's opinion, and not absolute. For now, Archimedes still has enough respect for him.
“This is all wrong Angelica Dolce?” Archimedes asked with clenched teeth.
“Yes. If it wasn't for him, they wouldn't have exchanged contacts, ” Bernard replied firmly.
