The Strongest Man in the Universe

Chapter 560

"Do you know who Angelica Dolce is?"

“He is from the Heavenly Sect in the Western Sand, and I think he has quite a high status in his sect."

"Angelica Dolce of the Heavenly Sect!" Archimedes remembered the names.

At the same time, he was getting angry. He might have to change his plans. He wanted to kill those people one by one, but it didn't seem like his plan would work now. If one were to find out about this and spread the word, he would be harmed.

He had to get rid of everything at once so that he could keep his secret. Looks like he needs to go back and plan this well. If he needed so many people to disappear at once, including nearly ten novice Sovereign Rankers and two intermediate Sovereign Rankers, he might have to exert his family's hidden strength.

“Uncle Bernard, let's go. Time to go to Treasure Trove.” auction

“Yes, Mr. Archi."

The two left the corner one after another and headed to the auction venue.

David sat in his chair and waited for the auction to start without a sound. Each invitation card is printed with a seat number. One had to register after they entered the auction. Then, they will sit according to their seat number.

Right now, David is a little undercover so people don't recognize him. It would have been troublesome if Archimedes had seen it later. As long as he made it through this auction, he would not be afraid of Archimedes and the late stage Sovereign Ranker next to him anymore.

Guests began to arrive one after another before sitting in the designated seats. The auction will start in half an hour, but two-thirds of the seats are already filled. David's chair wasn't too good or too bad, being right in the middle.

He seemed surrounded, but because the seats were a bit far apart and each seat had its own space, so it was not too crowded.

Half an hour passed quickly. Everyone with an invitation card has arrived. It had been a long time since Treasure Trove had done something this big. According to sources, they had also taken away many of their precious treasures. There would be all kinds of heaven and earth treasures as well as Soulbound Weapons for sale. Therefore, no one will miss this.

Moreover, Treasure Trove was one of the top five trading companies in the Central Sacred Continent, so guests would show respect for this event.

Archimedes and Bernard also arrived at the auction. However, their seats were in the front. The invitation card Archimedes got was sent to the West End’s Splendor.

When the time came, an old man with white hair and reddish skin walked onto the stage. That was the head of Treasure Trove, Valerio Fellowes.

One could tell just how important this auction was to Treasure Trove. Even his head is here. Nothing like this has happened in the past. At most, the deputy head would appear to utter a few words.

Valerio was extremely famous in the entire Sacred Continent Center. Not only because he was the core of the Fellowes family and the head of Treasure Trove, but also because he was a Saint partial.

“Is that the head of Treasure Trove, Mr Valerio?”

"That's it! I had the honor of meeting him once. That's Mr Valerio!”

“I don't expect him to come alone. It seems that Treasure Trove appreciates this auction very much. They will definitely sacrifice a lot and spend a lot of their wealth to succeed."

"of course! I was expecting that. Since Treasure Trove planned this auction for so long, I believe they will do something big. With what it looks like now, it looks like I was right.”

“I will get Soulbound Weapon to increase my combat power even if I go bankrupt today.”

“I don't want Soulbound Weapon. I only want treasures of heaven and earth that can help me break through. I wonder if I will have a chance to get it.”

"Are you planning to break through soon, my friend?"

"Yes. I don't feel I'm far away now."

"Congratulations then!"

"Thank you!"

The scene was in an uproar as Valerio went on stage. They were all shocked by his presence. It was only an auction, but they summoned the head of Treasure Trove who was a Saint partial. This surprised many at the scene.

David looked at Valerio on stage and narrowed his eyes. This man is very strong and David is not his opponent. With just one look, he knew he could not beat this fellow on stage. Even if he used all his strength along with the power of his mind and his Sword.

He estimated that if he started a fight with the man on stage, he would not be able to escape. David felt an energy in this man pressing down on him. David also felt this energy from Nek.

'Is he a Saint?'

But David thought that was not the case. This was because the energy coming from the person on the stage was much lower than Nek's energy. If he were to compare the two, it would be like comparing rivers and oceans.

Nek was a Pre-Saint who had just broken through to the Saint Realm. So, this person might not be a Saint. He could only be a partial Saint. Is the energy radiating from it called Saint Power?

David doesn't know much about Saint Power. He only knew this was the strength he would gain after he became a Saint partial. Anyone with Saint Power would have a natural suppression against anyone without Saint Power. It was like when a tiger, the king of the forest, met a monkey. Their lives are not on the same level.

After Valerio went up on stage, he raised his hand to tell everyone to shut up. The noisy scene immediately sank into silence. This was the influence of a Saint Partial.

Even Archimedes, the first heir of the Lightfoot family, did not dare to disrespect Valerio, the head of the Treasure Trove and a Saint partial.

“Greetings, my honored guests. I am Valerio Fellowes, head of Treasure Trove. I believe many of you already know me. Welcome to the auction. In recent years, the outside world has heard many adverse rumors about Treasure Trove, causing our reputation to plummet. Many of our old clients are starting to get affected, so they choose to stop working with us. We can understand all that, but today, I will tell you all the rumors are false and unfounded. Treasure Trove will show our sincerity during the auction this time. I hope everyone can get the item they want and start trusting us again.” Valerio says a lot of things.

David felt this was the same as when he was on campus on Earth. The chancellor would babble for centuries in events. He will also continue and continue to speak. How does David have the mood to listen to it all?

‘Come start auction now!’

A few minutes later…

“I've talked too much today, so please forgive me. I know you can't wait, so let's start the auction now!”

David stunned. 'Isn't that Miss Alba Fellowes?

No wonder there's been no news from him lately. It seems like he was busy preparing for the auction.'

“Halo, my name is Alba Fellowes and I will be presiding over the auction today. I hope you can all get the stuff you want."

After Alba said that, everyone started talking again.

“D*mn, isn't that Miss Alba Fellowes, who has looks and skills? Why is he wearing a veil? I remember she didn't wear it before.”

“I know about this. I heard after she got engaged to someone, her fiance's family asked her to wear it because she was too pretty.”

“Nona Fellowes is engaged? When's? Why haven't I heard of it? Who's fiancee? How dare he ask Miss Fellowes to wear a veil? He revoked our right to appreciate the scenery!”

“So what if you know his identity? Do you have the courage to fight? You'll wet the bed if I tell you who the fiance is."

Archimedes heard the last sentence. His face turned pale and dark simultaneously. He looks so evil that it's scary. 'Wetting?'

Not long ago, he had just wet the bed because of an unknown boy. When Archimedes heard it, he felt as if the men were mocking him. However, there were so many people on the scene that he could do nothing.

“I'll wet the bed? You must be kidding me. I'm not afraid of you.”

“Listen carefully then. Miss Fellowes' fiancee is Mr. Anders Palmore of the Palmore family. At the same time, he was also the first heir of the Palmore family and the future head of the family. How about that? Is she prestigious enough?”

“Mr Anders P-Palmore?” The man who looked insulting just now trembled in fear after hearing that name.

The Palmore family was one of the Star Kingdom's top six powers. Who doesn't know, or has never heard of him?

The first heir of a power like this would have a high status. He might even be among the top ranks in Star Kingdom. When Archimedes heard Anders' name, he would be lying if he said he wasn't jealous. Although his status was not low, he was still far away from Anders.

Frankly, if he told everyone in the tavern that he was Anders, they wouldn't be surprised. Instead, they would shiver in fear like the person just now. Moreover, the boy did not dare to attack him. When can he be like Anders?

When could he suppress everyone with just his name?

This is Archimedes' final destination.

“Calm down, everyone. Now, we're gonna start the auction. First, we will ask the Treasure Trove staff to issue the treasure first.”

After Alba said that, a beautiful woman in a red dress walked onto the stage with a wooden tray. There's a red cloth covering the tray. The thing under the cloth should be the first item of the day.

After the woman walked to Alba's side, she stood there quietly. The beautiful woman went up to the stage with a wooden tray and stood still there. After that, Alba started introducing the first item. As the auction host, he needed to state the details, clues, and functions of the item so that everyone knew what they were bargaining for.

They will only bid with everything they have if they need it or if the item is suitable for them. The host plays a significant role in this. They needed to use flowery words to interest the bidder so that they would do everything to buy the treasure.

“First, let me introduce the first item to you all."

After Alba said that, she lifted the red cloth on the wooden tray to reveal the thing underneath. It was a stone the size of a fist. Everybody knows what it is. It is a memory stone! As long as the user destroys it, the contents of the stone will enter the user's brain.

Nova gave one to David when he left the Iridescent Sect. The map of the entire Star Kingdom was recorded in it. Hence, he used this map to accurately find the Central Sacred Continent. Otherwise, it would be difficult for newcomers to find the Central Sacred Continent in the vast Star Kingdom without any guidance. He will also waste a lot of time.

That Memory Stone is not very valuable, but the content recorded in it may be important. Similarly, it might be something trivial and cost nothing. Or it could contain some maps or fighting skills, or even the entrance of certain treasures. It will not be easy to estimate its value.

The stone was only a carrier while the thing recorded inside was a truly valuable item. If Treasure Trove were to auction the memory stone, then there must be something important recorded in it.

“I think everyone can see that this is a memory stone. Although it looks normal, the context is not in its form. It recorded a powerful fighting skill called the Ninth Ranked Undulating Palm, but only the first one used here, which could also be called the Third Ranked Undulating Palm. It was said that the moves were long gone, and Treasure Trove had none. Even if you only have a third rank, it is still quite powerful. Every time you level up, the power will double, and it can also be combined. After you learn all three levels, the superimposed strength will be equivalent to a mid-level combat skill.”

When everyone heard that it was equivalent to a mid-level fighting skill, many of them showed excited expressions. Combat skills were the same as Soulbound Weapons. They were a rare resource in Star Kingdom.

But a combat skill would not increase one's combat strength as much as a Soulbound Weapon. Hence, the value of combat skills was also slightly lower than Soulbound Weapon. When one was unable to raise their realm, the combat skills and Soulbound Weapon would be used to increase combat power.

Alba has not completed her introduction yet. He continued, “Additionally, the Ninth Rank Undulating Palm was implanted in this stone by a Saint. At the same time, it also came with the realization of a Saint. I believe that as long as you are talented enough, you will master the Ninth Ranked Undulating Palm very quickly and master its essence to bring out its overwhelming power. Now, let's start bidding for the first three levels of the Ninth Ranked Undulating Palm. The base price is 5 billion Dollar Stars. Each price increase should not be less than 100 million.”

After Alba said that, someone immediately shouted.

“Five half a billion!”

“Six billion!”

“Six half a billion!”

“Seven billion!”

"Ten billion!"

.....

“Twenty-three billion!”

After several rounds of bidding, the price of the first three levels of the Ninth Ranked Undulating Palm reached a top price of 23 billion.
