The Strongest Man in the Universe

Chapter 561

But that's not the end.

"25 billion!" A loud and clear voice said.

Archimedes was the one who mentioned this price. Splendor, one of the top five trading companies controlled by the Lightfoot family, had nearly as much wealth as the Fellowes family. As the first heir of the Lightfoot family and the future head of the family, Archimedes could spend as much money as he wanted as long as he said the word.

When he said 25 billion, no one kept bidding. First, they recognized him as the future head of the Lightfoot family, so they were reluctant to offend him. Secondly, these prices are high enough that if they continue to bid, they will pay a premium price above the value of the goods.

In the end, the first three levels of the Ninth Ranked Undulating Palm sold for 25 billion. Star Dollar. However, the one who got it was Archimedes, and it made Alba who was on stage feel uncomfortable.

This was only the first item, and it was the first three levels of the Ninth Ranked Undulating Palm that had intermediate-level combat skills. If that was the case, how valuable was the next item?

Everyone showed excited expressions and stared straight at the stage.

David did not bid. Instead, he frowned. He was not too happy with the final price.25 billion was too low. The target today is 1.2 trillion Star Dollars. If one item was worth around 25 billion, wouldn't he need to bid 50 items to reach that amount. There might not be much treasure in this auction, right? Even if he bids everything, it is still not enough.

'Is this a large auction that Treasure Trove has prepared for a long time?'

David shook his head in disappointment. The higher the expectations, the greater the disappointment. What he didn't know was that the first item was just an appetizer. Truly valuable items will be offered at the end.

After the first item was sold, the second item to be sold was brought onto the stage. Alba started introducing the item again. Two hours passed very quickly, and over ten treasures were sold. David hasn't even bid yet. This was because the price was too low and not a single one exceeded 50 billion, so it was not comparable to his offer.

80% of the goods sold now belong to Archimedes. As Archimedes gathered more treasures, Alba's face behind the veil became increasingly colorless. Two more hours passed. The first stage of the auction had ended, so Alba found an excuse to rest off stage.

Of course, it was not because he was tired and wanted to rest. Instead, he went to look for Valerio to ask him what he should do.

Archimedes is clearly here to cause trouble. Treasure Trove sacrificed so much to attract their old clients that they would go back to work with Treasure Trove, not to benefit Archimedes that bastard. Even though he had to pay for those items, would Treasure Trove care about his money?

When Alba left, the atmosphere became an uproar.

“Mr Archi, don't you think it's inappropriate for us to do this?” ask Bernard.

“What's wrong with this? It's an auction, and it's not that I won't pay" Archimedes said nonchalantly.

“Treasure Trove does this to tie up some old and new clients. If we do this, we'll disrupt their plans. Fellowes family will not be happy.”

“Hmph, then why? They barely survive. Anders lived in seclusion to break through to a partial Saint, and once he succeeded and came out, there would definitely be some major events to accumulate more prestige for him to become the head of his family in the future. What would be a better gift than Treasure Trove?”

“Anders might be one of the rare geniuses in Star Kingdom, but even if he managed to break through, he would only become a Partial Saint. I don't think it will be easy for him to defeat Treasure Trove either. After all, the Fellowes family had three True Saints." Bernard asked curiously

“It wasn't easy for him to take over Treasure Trove, but what if he made a Sacred Saint from his family ask for it? How can the Fellowes family say no?” Archimedes said with a cold grin.

“A-What is it possible? A Sacred Saint was the strongest master in the Star Kingdom, why would they care about something so trivial?" Bernard asked in surprise.

“Why not? You should know that Anders is the number one genius in the history of the Palmore family. Even the Sacred Saint grandmaster praised him to the high heavens. It is said that Anders has been training with the grandmaster since he was a child. Otherwise, how would he have the strength he had now? Plus, the Fellowes family is not as strong as you say. Two of the three True Saint family grandmasters were injured in the battle earlier. They have not recovered until now.”

Archimedes reveals another shocking secret. Fortunately Bernard was blocking the people around them as they spoke, so no one heard what they said. If word got out, the entire Central Sacred Continent would tremble.

It would also deal a huge blow to the Fellowes family. Of course, some of the major powers in the Sacred Continent of the Center also knew about what Archimedes mentioned. However, they all had a tacit understanding, so no one said anything.

Everyone has a secret. If you uncover the secrets of others, they can also reveal your secrets. In the end, both sides will suffer.

Therefore, even though Archimedes was the first heir of the Lightfoot family, he did not dare to spread it. He also knew the people around him could not hear him, so he dared to say it out loud to vent the anger in his heart.

Archimedes did not originally plan on buying so many items during this auction to offend the Fellowes family. However, the accident happened while waiting, and now, he could not vent the anger in his heart. Archimedes was sorry. If he did not go up to see what happened out of curiosity when he passed by the tavern and heard a quarrel, would the next result be?

He was scared to bedwetting because of the strange boy in front of so many people. This would be the greatest humiliation of his life. How Archimedes would feel better if he didn't vent it. He would not let the Fellowes family have fun if he could not.

'Who asked you to host this event?

The incident will not happen if you do not host the auction.'

Archimedes blames Treasure Trove ruthlessly for everything that happened because he was unable to find the culprit. This is what is usually done by direct descendants from families with great power. Whenever they suffered a loss, they needed to find someone for the impingement.

Bernard was shocked after hearing that. Although he was a late stage Sovereign Ranker, he was only a distant relative of the Lightfoot family so he could not become the senior core of the family. That is why his knowledge is limited.

‘However, this is between the Fellowes family and Palmore. It is not smart for Mr. Archi to get involved in this. The Lightfoot family would also suffer if the Fellowes family went crazy and decided to counterattack at the last second. I need to speak to Mr. Archi.'

As protectors of Archimedes, although supposedly their fates are intertwined, but this is only one-sided. Frankly, Bernard would not have survived if something had happened to Archimedes. Conversely, if something happened to Bernard or if he died, nothing would happen to Archimedes. The Lightfoot family would even give him a stronger protector.

“Mr Archi, we will also suffer if we do not show respect to the Fellowes family and they decide to check it out.” advice Bernard.

“Do we disrespect them? I didn't offer everything. Only about 80% of the goods offered.” said Archimedes indifferently.

“Master, I know you're angry and you need an impingement. Now that you have done so, please be calm and patient. Don't bid anything after this. Otherwise, we won't be able to explain it to the.” family

“What's so hard about that? Uncle Bernard, leave me alone. Since I was at the auction, I had to buy at will. I have all the money in the world.”

“Master Archi, you must think clearly. If the Fellowes decide to investigate this, the family will also be angry with you. You may not get support from family anymore if you want to use family power to deal with certain people later on.”

Bernard's words went straight into Archimedes' heart. If he wanted to get rid of everyone who saw him wet the tavern, he would definitely need to use the family's hidden strength. If the seniors disagreed, it would be a little troublesome.

He could only tell them what had happened so that the family would destroy those people for him. However, how could he tell them what had happened?

Archimedes would never tell his family what happened even if they killed him. Once he does, his position in the family will plummet. They might even kick him out and nurture other first-line heirs.

“Uncle Bernard, I understand. I will hold back next and not bargain recklessly. I will only bid for things I like.” Archimedes said.

“Thank you for your discretion, Mr.”

On the other hand, after Alba got off the stage, she ran to Valerio.

“Grandfather Val, Archimedes that bastard is here to make trouble. If he continues, our auction show will not achieve the desired effect.” cried Alba furiously in front of Valerio.

Valerio did not expect someone to cause trouble at this auction, and that this person was even the first heir of the Lightfoot family.

'Did the Lightfoot family try to get into a dispute with the Fellowes family?

No, what will they get out of this?'

“Alba, so so. Go back and continue the show. Many of them are still waiting. Whatever happens, we have to continue with the auction." Valerio said after thinking about it.

“But what if Archimedes kept doing what he just did? If we continue, it will only fulfill its purpose.”

“Then let him continue."

"But..."

"Alba, why don't you go ahead with the auction? I'll watch him. If he continued, I would ask some people to raise the price. If he was still going to bid, it would be a number that was several times higher than its value. That way, we won't lose anything if we bid ourselves."

Alba thought about it, and thought that this might work.

“Alright, Grandpa Val, I'll be back now. You must be quick. I think he's here to make trouble and he won't stop just like that.”

“Oke, go now. Don't let everyone wait.”

Alba left quickly and continued to host the auction. Valerio did not move. However, his brows furrowed tightly.

‘What is the Lightfoot family trying to do?

Did the Archimedes family order him to do this?

Or is this all Archimedes?

What is the purpose of this?'

Countless questions swam in Valerio's brain. After thinking about it, Valerio still did not understand. He took a deep breath. This is a very important period for the Fellowes family. Even a junior like Archimedes dared to come to challenge the family bottom line.
