The Strongest Man in the Universe

The Strongest Man in the Universe
Chapter 566



Otherwise, his Saint Realm dreams would be for naught.


“Ha ha ha ha, time's up. Miss Fellowes, tell everyone who now owns the Hammer of Thunder! Archimedes was a coward. He did not dare to bid again. I'm right now. He was only an heir, how could he have so much money? The Lightfoot family is rich, but it's their money. Archimedes could not represent his family. I guess I've won. Archimedes Lightfoot, admit your defeat! You will only live in my shadow for the rest of your life. You'll never get out of there, ha ha ha ha!" After David said that, he laughed.


He seemed happy to have defeated Archimedes. Archimedes was still hesitating, but when he heard what David said and his ear-piercing laughter, it felt as if his head had been smashed. Archimedes looked at a star.


'NO! I can't let that bastard step on me! I can't lose no matter how big the price is!'


Before he could think clearly, Archimedes shouted another price. “10 trillion!”


Just like David, he added another 1 trillion. Right now, David wanted to feel like crying. He finally felt happy. Archimedes was a good boy.


If he did not come to this auction, David would only earn enough luxury points to break through the Partial Saint Realm. Now, he already had enough luxury points to enter the Saint Realm realm.


At this moment, David wanted to shout, 'Saint Realm, I'm coming!' However, this is not the right time. After all, this wasn't over and he still hadn't earned any fancy points.


“Archimedes, you are too inexperienced to beat me. 11 trillion!” David wiped the grin off his face and said seriously.


“12 tri-...” Archimedes did not even think before calling.


However, Bernard stopped him. "Mr Archi, enough!"


He can't let this continue anymore. Clearly, the other party could still continue. If continued, the final price is at least above 15 trillion or even 20 trillion. Only a fool would spend a sky-high price like 15 trillion to purchase a mid-tier Soulbound Weapon worth 1 or 2 trillion.


It was not worth it even if it was for retaliation. Besides, they can't afford it. If the Fellowes' families come to ask for money, they should ask the family for help. This behavior will also upset the seniors with Archimedes.


Whenever direct descendants caused problems outside and could not solve them, it would make them look bad if they asked their families to clean up the mess they made themselves.


It will also affect who will get the position of head of the family in the future. There were three other heirs besides Archimedes and Cornelius. In addition, there were also more than ten would-be heirs eyeing the place.


Thus, any mistake or dirt would be exaggerated. Usually, the head of the family was not the most powerful person. Instead, it is he who can coordinate and focus on the overall situation and lead the family to glory.


Of course, their strength also played a role, but that was not the most important aspect. Back then, Archimedes excelled in all aspects, and he was also the most cunning. However, he went crazy after what he met today. That was why he kept trying to ignore the overall situation.


“Uncle Bernard, leave me alone. I want to tell the boy that there is no way he can beat me!”


“Master, you've been blinded by anger. Don't forward anymore.”


“No, I won't..”


Before he could finish, Bernard hit the nape of Archimedes, and caused him to faint. To stop Archimedes from acting on his anger and causing things to escalate to an uncontrollable stage.


Bernard pondered for a long time before deciding to take Archimedes away. 'Hammer of Thunder's price was already 10 times its original value. If Master Achi mentioned another price, it would only continue to rise. This price makes no sense. Even if Master Archi won and bought it, he would still be the laughingstock of the outside world. Everyone would talk about it whenever they gossiped. Was Archimedes dropped on his head when he was born?


He bought a mid-tier Soulbound Weapon for 10 times the price just because he wanted to win?


He is the embodiment of just having money and having no brains.'


The most important thing is that they can't take so much money now. When that happens, they will need a family to clean up their mess. After considering the pros and cons, Bernard thought he could not sit still.


Since he was unable to speak carefully with Archimedes about this, he could only drop him and take him away! He believed that Archimedes would thank him when he woke up.


If he decided to get another protector after this, Bernard would not be disappointed. Instead, he will be happy. This was because he would get into trouble sooner or later if he continued to follow a master who was governed by his emotions. It would be better to get out of this as soon as possible. Bernard believed that the family would not make things difficult for him because he was a late stage Sovereign Ranker.


Moreover, he did this for the sake of Archimedes and also the reputation of the family. Archimedes was dropped by his patron, so this meant that the crazy offer finally stopped.


David glared at Bernard, feeling annoyed in his heart. He thinks he can get more points. Having been triggered by what he said, Archimedes was about to mention another price. However, the late stage Sovereign Ranker beside him stopped him in time.


At the same time, David wondered, 'Is not Archimedes the eldest son and also the first heir?


How dare a protector assigned to protect her take her down?'


“Nona Fellowes, Master Archi was slightly triggered today, so she lost control of her emotions. I'm sorry! I'll go with him first. Don'worry. We'll pay for the items we bargained for earlier according to the final price."


After Bernard said that, he left with Archimedes before Alba could say anything. The joke is finally over. Although David was not happy, today's results far exceeded his expectations. His goal was 13000 luxury points so that he could break through the Partial Saint Realm. In the end, she got 113000 fancy pint. He could even break through to the Saint Realm now.


Humans can't be too greedy. This result is pretty good. David was very happy to be able to enter the Saint Realm in just one step.


After Archimedes left, David said, “Nona Fellowes, since Archimedes left, no one will bid me again, right? Should you announce Hammer of Thunder winner now?”


Alba regained consciousness after hearing that. He had seen scenes of people bidding on each other like David and Archimedes before. When the two opposing forces met in the auction, they wanted to suppress the other party and win. It's very normal.


Most of the time, organizers will consider this every time they send out an invitation card. They would invite many opposing forces who had conflicts to attend. That way, the auction will look more intense and provide more benefits for the organizer. However, it is usually never as strong as it is today.


They raised prices by 200 billion, 300 billion, and even 500 billion. In the end, it instantly increased by 1 trillion. Alba had hosted and attended many auctions, but she had never seen this before. He's never even heard of it.


It seems too exaggerated! But it's real money! As the third young mistress of Treasure Trove, Alba could only use a few trillion Star Dollars. He will not be allowed to use more than that. David spent 11 trillion.


Perhaps only a disciple of a Sacred Saint master had the strength to do that.


"Are you sure you want to spend 11 trillion on Hammer of Thunder, Mr David?" ask Alba.


"of course! Miss Fellowes, although the price of the hammer was raised so high because of my fight with Archimedes, so many people were watching and I appreciated my prestige. I will pay the final price of 11 trillion Star Dollars, and not less a penny" David said seriously.


“But..”.


“Nothing but. Miss Fellowes, although we are friends personally, this is a business. You are the host of the auction while I am the bidder."


Alba looked at the other person in the room. The scene was silent. Only a fool would bid. There was no point in buying a mid-tier Soulbound Weapon for 11 trillion Star Dollars. Even if it is made specifically. The price is too high. Only rich kids like David and Archimedes would raise prices that high.


“If no one else wants to bid, I will announce. Hammer of Thunder, intermediate-tier Soulbound Weapon. 11 trillion once! 11 Trillion twice! 11 Trillion three times. Sold!”


After Alba announced that, the scene became an uproar.


"Shoppers! I did not come to this auction in vain. I watched Archimedes, the first line of the Lightfoot family, being destroyed by others with money. What miracle!"


"That's right! Everyone in the Sacred Central Continent knew about the Lightfoot family's wealth. They are the owners of Splendor. Mr. David is amazing. He is my idol.!"


"He spent 11 trillion Star Dollars on a mid-level Soulbound Weapon, until everyone praised Mr. David."


Cheers erupted from the scene.


Although they said how great, bad, and domineering David was, they all mocked David in their hearts. This kid is just a spender. Will his master slap him to death after he finds out?


David didn't care if they just praised him on the surface and mocked him inside. He only cared about one thing, which was to complete the transaction with this Treasure Trove as quickly as possible.


As long as he gets 113000 fancy points, David will become a Saint. He would be a true Saint, not a partial Saint, which was David's initial goal.


The difference between the two is huge. Saint Realm was also a world that many people dreamed of. Nek Simmons is the only one in Star Kingdom to have become a Saint recently. There were many people trapped in the Peak Sovereign Rank or the Partial Saint Realm. However, not many people could truly become Saints.


David will become the first Saint master in Star Kingdom right after Nek.


“Everything, relax. Although Master David bought the Hammer of Thunder, the auction was not over. Now, let's continue bidding on the other treasures. I promise they are all on the same level as the Hammer of Thunder" Alba said loudly.


The scene fell into silence again. After they finished watching the drama between Archimedes and David, they had to focus on their own business. Without those two rich people, the auction could return to normal by now. Immediately, another treasure was pushed onto the stage.


David has lost all interest at the moment. Therefore, he got up calmly to leave. However, the moment he exited the venue, a staff member from Treasure Trove stopped him.


"Sorry, Mr. David, please return to your seat. You can't leave before the auction's over."


“Then why Archimedes can go?” ask David.


"He only left after paying for the treasure he had bargained for."


“OK, then let's calculate the total amount for all the goods I bargained for. It's not like I won't pay" David said.


He came here to pay. Do these people think he ran away?


Really joke!


He wasted so much effort spending so much money to earn so many luxurious points that he could become a Saint. Didn't he have to start over if he ran away now?


“Alright, please come with me. David followed the other party backstage to pay. However, while he was on his way, a voice sounded in the ears of the staff.


“Bring David to me."


The one who spoke was Valerio, the head of the Treasure Trove headquarters. After getting the order, the staff did not dare to waste time. So, the staff took David somewhere else. They reached the door of the room after they walked a little more.


Tok Tok Tok!


The staff knocked on the door and said respectfully.


"Mr Valerio, Mr. David is here."


Then, a voice spoke from inside the room. "Let him in."


"Yes, Master!" The staff opened the door after saying that.


Then, the staff said to David after gesturing, “Master David, the head of Treasure Trove would like to meet you."


David curious. 'Will I not pay?


Why was I summoned by the head of Treasure Trove?


Is it because the amount is too large so the head needs to handle it alone?


It's only 11 trillion Dollar Stars. That's not too big a number, is it?'


David went into the room. An old man with white hair and reddish skin was drinking tea while sitting in the room. It was a partial Saint speaking on stage before the auction began.


When he saw David, the old man smiled and said, “David, sit down. I am Valerio Fellowes, head of Treasure Trove.”


“You are too polite, Mr. Valerio.” replied David and sat down without restraint.


Valerio was only a partial Saint. Previously, David might have been wary when faced with a great power like this. However, he did not need to do so anymore as he was about to become a Saint.


“David, you are still very young and promising. You managed to suppress Archimedes at such a young age. You should know that he is the first heir of the Lightfoot family and his family controls Splendor, one of the top five trading companies. They outperformed our family in all aspects.” Valerio lamented.


“Mr Valerio, you don't have to say that to me. Everyone praised me on the surface, but they might call me a spender in their hearts!" David mocked himself.


“You don't have to pay attention to them, David. They are short-sighted, so how do they know how great you are?”


At the moment, Valerio is not thinking about how much money David spent after the fight with Archimedes. Instead, he wondered what grievances the two of them had before.
