The Strongest Man in the Universe

Chapter 565

Archimedes never lost in the competition of wealth. Since he suffered defeat in front of David, he had to retaliate. Therefore, he raised the price by another 300 billion.

“1. 7 trillion!” David gritted his teeth and shouted.

Even though he pretended to be angry, he was overjoyed inside. 'Yes, honey. Like those. You must endure. Don't retreat. Whoever steps down is a coward.'

David wanted to call 2 trillion, but he gave up after that. He can only get more profit with a long-term plan. If he surprises Archimedes too soon, it will be over if Archimedes decides to surrender.

“2 trillion!” Archimedes called out casually.

His expression contrasted with David. David gritted his teeth in anger, while Archimedes looked indifferent. Archimedes felt a little better when he saw David that way. However, this is not enough. Whatever happens, he must torture David before killing him. He'll only feel better if it's like that.

“2. 2 trillion!”

“2. 5 trillion!”

“2. 7 trillion!”

“3 trillion!”

“4. 2 trillion!”

“4. 5 trillion!”

“4. 7 trillion!”

“5 trillion!”

Both bid on each other. They raised the base price of the Hammer of Thunder from 50 billion to a sky-high price of 5 trillion. That's a hundred times over. Everyone at the scene was shocked. It was as if they had not even spent money.

'Who the hell is bidding like this at the auction?

They even raised the price by 200 or 300 billion at a time. Is this what direct descendants of great powers like to do?

How impressive. I really cannot understand the world of the rich.'

They had never even heard of this, let alone seen what was happening in front of them. But the Soulbound Weapon did not have a fixed price.

If it fits, it will still be beneficial no matter how much it costs. However, no, one could not use it to its fullest even if one held it in their hands. For example, David used a sword and he also learned sword techniques.

Therefore, it would be difficult for him to bring out his entire weapon potential if he was given a knife or axe. Only a weapon suitable for him would work best. Of course, if it was a match for him, the higher the Soulbound Weapon level was, the better.

Alba was also slightly stunned on stage. 'How long has it been, and the price has already reached 5 trillion?

It's so awesome!'

If this was a normal bidding process, Treasure Trove estimated the price of Hammer of Thunder to be around 2 to 3 trillion. Now, it has reached 5 trillion. Moreover, it does not seem to be stopping soon. No one knows what the final price will be.

Alba was not worried that the two would not be able to afford it. One was a disciple of a Sacred Saint, while the other was young master Splendor and also the future head of the Lightfoot family. They are not short of money.

Alba wants David to be unable to afford it so she owes it to her family. If that was the case, just this offer alone would be a huge success. Archimedes was the one who called out 5 trillion. This price had almost reached 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 powers in Star Kingdom. However, it would not give so much funds to his direct descendants for fun.

There are rules about how much money a direct descendant can use. This is related to their status, abilities, and how much they contribute to the family.

Archimedes was the heir to the first 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 was able to use more funds compared to other direct descendants.

However, he had spent a portion of it over the years, so he did not have much left over. This was unless he could ascend from a partial Sovereign Rank to a Sovereign Rank, or make a major contribution to the family. If not, the money will not increase.

The God of Thunder Hammer had been raised to 5 trillion, so David was very excited. Even if Archimedes wanted to stop, this price had already exceeded the goal of David coming to this auction. He could already upgrade to the Partial Saint Realm. It all depends on whether Archimedes can give him another boost.

If he could raise his price to 10 trillion and above, David would instantly reach the Saint Realm. If so, David should thank Archimedes and all his ancestors. David feigned silence for a moment for the sake of his grand plan to break through to the Saint Realm.

He had a troubled expression on his face to make Archimedes think he would not continue anymore. That way, he can lure Archimedes to keep bidding.

“David, what's wrong? You can't continue anymore? Aren't you so arrogant and mean just now? Let's say something! Continue bidding! It's only 5 trillion! That's still a pretty cheap price! You can't handle it anymore, can you? You look like you're constipated, what a shame" Archimedes said happily at David's troubled expression.

Although he would surpass his limits and be like an arrow at the end of his flight, Archimedes could not show any weakness. He had to turn things around before considering other things. Moreover, other than the people from the top five trading companies, who would dare to compete for wealth with him?

If they did, they would be near death.

David took a deep breath and said with gritted teeth, “Archimedes, don't be too proud of yourself. I won't let you act arrogant in front of me even if I'm broke." David roaring.

"5.5 trillion!"

He added another 500 billion above the price of Archimedes. Once again, it shocked everyone to the point of gaping. Everyone has only one thought in their head.

'Both are crazy. They had been blinded by anger and lost their minds! He added 500 billion at once! This is not how you compete! They really don't value money! I wonder if they will feel regret when they return to their senses.'

Although Archimedes seemed calm on the surface, he began to curse inside. 'Where did this boy come from?

Why haven't I heard of him before?

Not only was he a Sovereign Ranker, but he could also spend as much money as me. I am the first heir of the Lightfoot family. Who else is richer than me apart from the top six powers in Star Kingdom and the other direct descendants of the other four trading companies?

Nothing went according to my plan after I came out this time.'

Archimedes began to feel regret. If he knew this would happen, he would remain at home and only come out after he broke through to the Sovereign Rank. He would avoid all of this if he did.

However, at this moment, Archimedes was placed in a situation that was not good. So many people watching. If he were to admit defeat now, he would be extremely embarrassed.

As he was about to continue bidding, Bernard whispered in his ear next to him, “Master, calm down. You don't have much money left. Also, it will not increase before you break through to the Sovereign Rank. If you spend it all at once, it'll be hard."

Bernard knew his master wanted to defeat David, so he didn't say anything back then. However, as things became uncontrollable, he had to say something. If he were to let his master continue, this might not end well.

The mid-tier Soulbound Weapon had been raised to a sky-high price of 5 trillion. It's too much. It's not worth it at all. In addition, they do not have sufficient funds.

“Uncle Bernard, you've been with me for many years. Do you think I can calm down in this situation? I promise I won't attack David at the auction. If you stop me again, I'll ask for a new protector after we return" Archimedes said expressionlessly on his face.

“Master, I'm just telling you the facts, I don't plan to stop you. If you still decide to bid after considering the pros and cons, I will definitely appreciate your decision. Plus, so what if David gets the Hammer of Thunder? It will still be ours at the end of the day. We don't have to spend a penny that way" Bernard said, disobedient or conceited.

“Bernard, I don't think you know me at all. Do you think I did this to hammer it? I did this to face the first heir of the Lightfoot family. If I admit defeat, how will people look at me? Do you think I can still show my face out there?”

“Because you've decided, I won't say more.”

“Uncle Bernard, I have to win it at any cost. Otherwise, I won't be able to concentrate and it will be more difficult for me to breakthrough. As long as I beat him once, I'll feel better. If I spend all my money, I will return to seclusion again and not come out until I become a Sovereign Ranker."

While the two were talking, David started shouting again. He was worried that Archimedes would stop bidding. That would be very disappointing.

“Hey, Archimedes, are you backing out now? Aren't you really mean just now?”

After David said that, Archimedes roared, "6 trillion!"

David was very happy. Then, he followed. "6.5 trillion!"

"7 trillion!"

The tone of Archimedes began to change.7 trillion Dollar Stars was the limit. He could only think of another solution if he raised the price. However, Archimedes did not plan to quit. If he doesn't defeat David once and get his revenge, he may be traumatized and unable to make a breakthrough in the future. As the first heir of the Lightfoot family, it would be very easy for him to earn money.

“7. 5 trillion!” David pretended to scream with clenched teeth.

"8 trillion!"

'God! Both are crazy!‘

The people around them were so numb they didn't know what to say. This will never happen in a million years. How much is 8 trillion Dollar Stars?

80% of the guests of this auction could not take so much money even though they were broke. One should know that the people at this auction were the most elite among the Treasure Trove clients. In the end, the two youngsters bid 8 trillion just because they were competing and acting in anger. It changes everyone's worldview.

“Archimedes, I told you even if I was broke and scolded by my master, I would not let you act so arrogantly in front of me. Do you think you're safe to say 8 trillion? Sorry, I'll bid 9 trillion. I can't believe you still dare to continue the offer. Your family is rich, but you are not yet the head of the family. You're just an heir so you won't be able to use so much money." David looked at Archimedes and shouted.

He looked like he was being cautious and determined to fight to the end with Archimedes.

‘9 trillion!‘ Archimedes.

He thought he had gone mad, but he did not expect to meet someone even crazier than him. David was willing to spend 9 trillion on a mid-level Soulbound Weapon just because he acted in a state of anger. In the end, he even added 1 trillion directly to his price. This should be David's limit, seen from his face.

If Archimedes continued, David would have stopped. However, it won't be easy. If Archimedes added just 100 billion, his image would still be tarnished even if he obtained the Hammer of Thunder.

After all, David added 1 trillion at a time, and he only added 100 billion. However, if he added 1 trillion, it would be 10 trillion Star Dollars.10 trillion! Even as the first heir of the Lightfoot family, Archimedes could not take that much money. He still needed to make a plan and make up for it with a contribution.

If he had no conflict with David in the tavern, Archimedes would have thought that Treasure Trove sent David here to raise the price.

'What should I do now?

Should I continue?

Should I keep fighting?

Otherwise, I would not be able to show my face anymore. If I did, I would have to spend the rest of my life in seclusion and only come out when I was in the Sovereign Rank.'

Archimedes could not decide. To be honest, only an idiot would spend 10 trillion to purchase an intermediate-tier Soulbound Weapon.

David was nervous. He kept repeating in his heart, 'Come! 'Friends, brothers, dad! Please continue! Call your f*cking price! Just once.'

As long as Archimedes raises his price to 10 trillion, David will raise it to 11 trillion. In addition to those 300 billion, he would have spent 11.3 trillion Star Dollars today, which equates to 11300 luxury points.

If he spent 13000 luxurious points, he could increase his mind power to a level 10 Sovereign. With his body and mind at level 10, David's combat power would be at the Partial Saint Realm. With the remaining 10,000 luxurious points, he could raise his body again.

After making his body at Sovereign level 10, he was able to break through Saint level 1. That way, David's combat power would be at the beginner Saint Realm.

When the time comes, David will not be so helpless against Nek, a novice Saint. He might even defeat Nek with the help of the Evil Splitting Sword and the power of his mind. He could get to the Saint Realm easily!

Now, it all depends on Archimedes' decision. If he could not earn enough points to break through to the Saint Realm, he would still need more time.

He could only wait for Alba to develop a trading company so that he could spend another trillion Star Dollars. The longer he waited, the more danger he would encounter.

As he looked at Archimedes' hesitant eyes, David knew he was having a heated debate with himself. He had to add more fuel to the fire.
