Ch. 1701..1710
I am a quadrillionarire Chapter 1700--“Master David, the auction is today. Please be prepared and I’ll take you there shortly,” Mick said outside the door.
“Thank you, Old Sir. I’m ready. We can go now,” David answered.
“Please come with me, Master David.”
David followed Mick.
In the end, they came to a luxurious huge building. Four Immortal Rank guards were watching the door.
Only a loaded force like Treasure Trove could use Immortal Rankers as guards.
“Master David, that’s the venue of the auction. Please show the guards your invitation card before entering. It’s still early and the auction will only start 3 hours later. You can walk around the streets outside and come back an hour before it starts. Please don’t be late Once the auction starts, no one is allowed to enter. Not even if you have an invitation card,” Mick pointed at the door not far away and said.
“Alright, I got it. Thank you, Old Sir,” David thanked,
“You’re welcome. These are all Miss Alba’s orders. I’m just a messenger.”
“I still have to thank you.”
“Do you have any questions? If you don’t, I’ll take my leave.”
“Right, Old Sir, this is the first time I am participating in a large auction. Is there anything i should take note of?” David asked.
Mick did not ask how many times David participated.
Since Miss Alba brought David here, this had nothing to do with Mick.
“Master David, just as the name suggests, this is an event where they will auction off many goods. The organizer will take out an item and then explain its use and function. If you think. it’s useful to you, you can participate in the bidding. The other guests who need the same thing as you will also bid on it. The person who offers the highest price will get it in the end It’s that easy,” Mick explained.
“Are there any restrictions? For example, is there a price limit? Or will they check if the bidder has the money?” David continued asking.
“Master David, you’re hilarious. Everyone who receives an invitation to enter the auction is very prestigious and commands respect. It’s impossible for them to bid for an item but have no money to pay. They can’t afford to humiliate themselves like that Even if something like this happens to the youngsters, the forces behind them will still send the money over in time Therefore, there aren’t any restrictions.”
“You’re saying I can keep bidding?” David asked, feeling overjoyed.
“Master David, Miss Alba brought you here, so I think you have a pretty high status and won’t bid maliciously. The treasures for this auction cost a lot. If you don’t have the money for them, not only will you be humiliated, even Miss Alba will be implicated Also, Treasure Trove
had prepared for this auction for many years, so there can’t be any accidents,” Mick advised quickly.
He was worried that David would cause trouble at the auction.
If he did not have the money for the items he bid on, it would be troublesome.
The key was that they did not know who David was, so this was an unknown element.
‘I’ll go ask Miss Alba later.’
“I got it. I can bid on whatever I want if I have the money.”
“Yes, but…” Mick pondered for a while but in the end, he did not say anything.
He added in his heart, ‘You’re so young. How much money do you have?
‘Even if you’re from a big family or you’re a direct descendant from a major force, you will have a limited amount of money, right?’
There would not be a lot of young people coming to large auctions like this. Instead, it would usually be the person in charge of the force.
After all, it involved a lot of money.
A lot of the treasures here could improve the force’s overall strength by a lot.
Thus, they would need to risk something to bid on them.
Even if the young person was a direct descendant or an heir, they usually could not make the decision.
“Don’t worry, Old Sir. I will control myself. Miss Fellowes and Treasure Trove trust me, so how could I cause trouble?” David said.
He could tell why Mick was worried.
“Well then, I hope you find something you like at this auction. If there’s nothing else, I won’t disturb you anymore,” Mick bid his farewell.
He still needed to go to Miss Alba to confirm David’s identity.
“Thank you! Bye!”
I am a quadrillionarire Chapter 1701--After David watched Mick leave, he stood there for about ten minutes. He noticed no one was entering the auction venue.
‘Maybe it’s too early!’
After all, there were three more hours before the auction.
He did not want to go in initially, but if he entered now, he would be all alone.
It was not that David was scared of being lonely, but when the people participating in the auction arrived later, they would immediately see him and remember him.
This was not in line with David’s low-key personality.
Thus, he followed Mick’s instructions and left the auction venue to wander on the streets outside.
As one of the top five trading companies in the Central Sacred Continent, Treasure Trove’s headquarters would naturally be the most flourishing and central location at the super-large trade zone. There were always people walking around on the streets.
David wandered on the bustling streets, but his mind was on the auction that would start in three hour’s time.
This auction was very important to him.
His strength would depend on this auction. He did not know how long he would need to wait if he missed it.
He randomly found a tavern that looked slightly more high-end and walked in.
Welcome!”
Two tall and sweet-looking attendants bowed and welcomed him.
After he entered the tavern, David saw a lot of people drinking, chatting, and boasting loudly
on one floor.
Soon, a beautiful waitress walked over.
Sir, how many of you?”
Just me. Get me a quiet place. I don’t like the noise,” David answered.
Do you have a VIP card?”
No
I’m sorry, Sir. If you don’t have a VIP card, you can only dine at the dining hall on the first floor You will need a different tier of VIP card for every floor,” the beautiful waitress explained
David thought, ‘All service industries will use the same tactic indeed.
They always have different treatment for different consumers.
1 sdp that on Earth, and it’s also the same here
Get me one then, David thought about it and cald
Abright, come with me, sir
The beautiful waitress brought David to the front deal
Which VIP tier do you want, sh
“Get me the highest one I want to all on the top floor, David cald
ir, the highest tier will cost you
A few minutes later, David spent ten million Star Dollars to get a VIP card of the highest fick
After that, he left the front desk and headed to the top floor while the beautiful waltresacs stared at him with stars in their eyes
This place was pretty spacious and there were not a lot of people therefore, there were only a few tables that were occupied
David picked a seat near the window and watched the bustling street below
“Sir, what would you like to order?” The beautiful waitress who brought David up here asked courteously
It had been a while since she met a customer who would throw away money so recklessly
When she first saw David, she knew this young tan was not simple
Not only was he handsome, but he also had an amazing temperament
Based on her years of reading people, she was sure that David was a direct descendant of a major force.
Indeed, he did not even bat an eyelid when he spent ten million signing up for a member card
A promising young man like him was the target of women like them who were yearning for love
Who would not want to go from rags to riches/
“What’s your signature dish and wine? Get me one of each,” David answered casually
con though he was not in the most to cat, aims he was here, he could not occupy a seat for To the one of this tavern needed money to Hun this place Furthermore, they were located en sin halutting street, an their coat should not be how
Morcone, how.could be sign up for a VIP cand loud not spend any money?
Excu though Bay
Wed money, he how it was shameful to waste resources
The beautiful waitress lifted her left hand after she said that A screen appeared and she tapped on it canally with her left hand
After she did that, she looked at David and continued, “sh, I’ve ordered them for you Do you want to check the pic
No need just being them here,” David replied
bal,” the beautiful waitress left after she said that
Alright, please wall, in Enjoy your meal,
David watched the bustling stroot
the had a question in his heart this entire time
Earth was only a level o civilisation, but there were skyscrapers up to a 100 stories high everywhere
I am a quadrillionarire Chapter 1702--The Milky Way, a level civilization, and star Kingdom, a level civilization, were much more civilised than Barth but David did not see skyscrapers made out of reinforced concrete All of the buildings were made from metal or strong wood Plus, they would not be too tall
For example, David was sitting on the oth floor This was already one of the highest buildings
The other buildings would only have 4, 4, or 5 floors The highest would probably be more than to floors
David felt as if he had gone back in time on Earth, However, he was brought back by the advanced technology the waitress used when she ordered his food for him
He never understood what was going on
Topically speaking, the higher the civilization, the more advanced the technology
In some cases, the Milky Way and Star Kingdom were indeed much more advanced than Farth
However, why was it not the case when it came to buildings?
In fact, David did not know that it would take more than ten years to build a building on barth using reinforced concrete. Then after decades, It would slowly decay
On the other hand, the building under his feet now would last for centuries, or even millennia
This was the difference
How could reinforced concrete compare to the special metal and wood used to build the buildings?
There was a ten times difference in regard to their lifespan
It was not that star Kingdom did not have the skill to build call buildings In reality, they just did not need it
Star Kingdom was enormous, so there was a lot of space for people to live
Everyone liked to have their own place and own land, so why would they waste so much effort to build tall buildings?
Aside from some major forces who would spend a lot of money and materials to build high buildings to show off their status, no one else would do it
Not only that, the people realized during their development that the human body was the biggest treasure in the universe. They were almost endless
Regardless of how advanced technology was, it was still something external. It would never be able to help humans achieve eternal life.
Therefore, humans started researching other things.
They slowly shifted their focus from outside the human body to inside the human body
In the end, this was what happened.
Cultivation was the treasure to open up the human body
As long as they reached Eternal Realm and were not affected by any external factors, the human lifespan would reach an epoch, which was 129600 years
If they then reached Saint Realm, their lifespan would become unlimited
This was something advanced technology could not achieve.
Hence, David did not see the technology he imagined when he was in the Milky Way, a level 3 civilization, and Star Kingdom, a level 7 civilization.
Instead, they looked as if they had gone back in time.
This was the result of humans shifting their research focus as they developed further
However, this was the core secret of the human face
If David wanted to know more, he would only have the chance when he became a Saint and joined the Saints Association.
I am a quadrillionarire Chapter 1703--While David was staring into space, his wine and food were served.
When he came back to his senses, he started to eat his food slowly and drank his wine as he continued people-watching.
He placed the Exquisite Wine of Hundred Flowers and Fruits on one side.
He wanted to take a sip.
However, he was worried that he would not store it correctly and affect its result. In the end, he gave up.
After all, it would not do anything to him and would only satisfy his cravings.
Celia and the others would reap its benefits when they drank it..
As time went on, the floor David was on started to get more crowded.
There were a lot of rich people in the super-large trade zone.
Since this place was not too far from Treasure Trove’s headquarters, and the auction was about to start, it was only natural for the rich people to gather here.
A lot of the people with invitation cards had probably arrived here a few days ago.
As he was eating, David peered at the stairs.
He saw five young people, three men and two women, walking in.
One of the men and one of the women were wearing the same clothes, so they should be from
the same sect.
David saw similar clothes in the Iridescent Sect.
Meanwhile, the rest of them were dressed luxuriously.
It was clear they were from aristocratic families.
Anyone who could get on the 9th floor did not lack money, so they would not dress poorly. However, those three were dressed extra extravagantly.
Aside from that, there were also two old men behind the five.
David’s eyes landed on the two old men because they were both beginner Sovereign Rankers.
Judging from their clothes, they should be from the same sect as the two young people. They were most probably here for the auction.
After glancing at them, David stopped paying attention to them. He continued to eat his food and drink his wine.
After the arrival of the two beginner Sovereign Rankers, there were now 10 Sovereign Rankers on the entire 9th floor, including David.
There were also two mid-Sovereign Rankers among them.
It seemed that Treasure Trove’s auction attracted a lot of powerhouses this time.
The young people looked around and then sat down at the empty table next to David.
After the beautiful waitress took their order, she hurriedly went downstairs.
She felt very stressed talking to those people.
She would be doomed if she accidentally insulted them.
David only took a few bites of the food on his table before looking out the window and staring into space.
He also heard the conversation of the five next to him.
From their conversation, David learned that the three luxuriously dressed people came from the same family. Their last name was Newhouse.
Big brother Louie Newhouse, younger brother Dewey Newhouse, and little sister Neva Newhouse.
The other man was their cousin, Eamon Lehman.
However, he had joined some sect now.
As for the remaining woman, she should be from the sect. David did not know her name, but he knew her last name was Dolce.
David could tell the two old men were mainly protecting the woman.
I am a quadrillionarire Chapter 1704--If this woman could have two beginner Sovereign Rankers protecting her, this woman should have a pretty high status.
“Eamon, you finally came out, so you have to stay for a few more days! Let us have the honor to act as hosts for you and Miss Dolce,” Louie said.
“Yeah, Eamon! Since you’re here, it will make us seem insensible if we don’t make the best. arrangements for you,” Dewey added.
“Thank you, Louie and Dewey. However, we came out with Angelica this time with a task, so I can’t waste too much time,” Eamon answered.
“You’re just going to participate in Treasure Trove’s auction, right? We’ll gather after that.”
“We have to get back to the sect immediately after the auction. I understand your kindness, but let’s do it next time. I’ll definitely find a chance to meet you two in the future.”
“When is next time? Eamon, we haven’t seen each other in so long, ever since you joined the sect. Who doesn’t know the Three Musketeers’ famous fighting prowess when we’re together? Our fame diminished greatly after you left.”
“Louie is right. Eamon, why did you join the sect for no reason? See, others have stolen our spotlight!”
“Alright, stop talking. Do you think Eamon can ignore his proper job? He has dreams and aspirations. How is he like you two? You’re always having fun and you still have the cheek to that you’re famous for your fighting prowess. You spent so much money on escorts, I think you’re only famous for being perverts!” Neva said suddenly.
Say
“Nev! We don’t like what you just said. How are we ignoring our jobs?”
“Yeah, Nev! We’re your brothers so how can you talk about us like that?”
“I’m telling the truth!”
“We…”
“Alright, Louie, Dewey, Nev, please calm down. I just dropped by to see you all. I am in a rush this time and I can’t go against my master. I’ll come back to have a good chat with you all next time I come back,” Eamon said after wiping the sweat from his forehead.
He could not let them continue talking or else they might expose something.
He did not want Angelica to know about his past affairs.
He thought those two would change after so many years, but they were still the same.
If he knew about this, he would not have contacted them.
At this moment, the wine and food were served.
The group then changed the topic and chatted while they ate.
Miss Dolce and the two beginner Sovereign Rankers did not speak much the entire time.
Neva would interrupt occasionally to roast her brothers.
Her brothers seemed to be used to it, so they did not care.
Every table was speaking softly on the 9th floor except theirs.
David was fine with it. Even though their tables were close to each other’s, it did not affect him too much.
However, someone did not feel the same way.
“Hey, you! Can you lower your f*cking voice? This is a public place, not somewhere for you to toot your own horn! If you want to do that, go home! No one else can speak whenever you open your mouth. We can only hear your voice,” a young man from another table stood up and said.
“Damn, who are you? Is my loud voice any of your f*cking business? Do you know who owns this place? F*ck off if you’re not used to it and stop f*cking whining!” Louie stood up and started cursing.
The environment he grew up in gave him the habit of being arrogant and despotic.
He would curse back at anyone who dared to curse at him.
David frowned.
‘Is this kid an idiot?
‘Can’t he read the room?
‘There are so many Sovereign Rankers here on the 9th floor and he’s not even an Eternal.
‘How did he get the courage to yell at others?’
Coincidentally, there was a mid-Sovereign Ranker at the table that Louie was cursing at.
Perhaps this kid was used to being despotic, and now he was going to get into trouble.
Meanwhile, David’s table was right between the two sides.
I am a quadrillionarire Chapter 1705--The two men’s arguments attracted the attention of everyone on the 9th floor.
Everyone was watching with ridicule on their faces.
Most of them were invited by Treasure Trove to participate in the auction, so they were pretty prestigious people.
They got bored from waiting, so it was pretty interesting to be able to watch something like this.
Even though Louie was an idiot and could not read the room, his cousin Eamon still knew how to weigh the pros and cons.
After all, he was someone from a sect that had gone through training.
Therefore, he quickly stood up and said, “My friend, I’m so sorry. My cousin has always stayed at home, so he’s been spoiled by his family. He’s never seen the outside world so please forgive him if he offended you. I am apologizing on his behalf. Amiability makes you rich. The same goes for the others here. I, Eamon Lehman, will pay for everyone here today so I hope everyone will tolerate us.”
When Louie heard that, he was unhappy.
The Newhouse family was powerful in this super-large trade zone, and they had a close relationship with Treasure Trove.
With Treasure Trove as support, the Newhouse family was like a fish back in the water.
Therefore, Louie made this place his territory.
How dare those outsiders yell at him in his territory?
How would Louie suffer such a grievance?
He yelled unhappily, “Eamon, why are you apologizing to him? He interrupted our conversation so he should be the one apologizing to us! They’re just barking dogs. How dare they act so arrogantly in my territory? How reckless!”
“Louie Newhouse, shut up!” Eamon’s expression changed and he scolded.
“Eamon, you…”
Louie
just wanted to retort but when he saw how Eamon was looking at him, he swallowed the words back into his stomach.
He was weak, and he was used to being arrogant.
Therefore, he did not realize what was wrong today.
However, he believed that his cousin would not harm him, hence he stopped speaking.
Eamon’s junior, Miss Dolce, looked at Louie and frowned with her adorable brows.
Clearly, she was not happy with what Louie did.
She thought, ‘How did this idiot survive until this day?
‘Eamon even asked me to hang out with a cousin like this. How unfathomable.’
“You’re Louie Newhouse, right? Listen here, you’re in big trouble. There are people in the Central Sacred Continent who dares to yell at me and tell me f*ck off, but you’re not one of them,” the young man whom Louie yelled at said in a deep voice.
“Who do you think you are? Why can’t I yell at you when you have the nerve to yell at me? So what if I yell at you today? What can you do to me?” Louie snapped.
He could not stand others acting so pretentiously around him.
Usually, he was the one doing that, so no one else could do the same with him around.
“If I tell you who I am, you might sh*t your pants.”
“Tch, anyone can toot their own horn. Tell me if you have the balls. If I frown, then I am not at Newhouse!” Louie stated indifferently.
The Newhouse family had Treasure Trove’s support, so how could he be scared by a name?
Moreover, judging from those people, they did not seem like someone from the most
powerful force in Star Kingdom.
“Really? Listen closely then, my name is…” When the young man was about to say his name, someone came upstairs and interrupted him.
David sensed something and looked over.
He saw a man in his thirties walking over.
Behind him was an old man.
David’s pupils contracted when he saw the old man.
‘A late Sovereign Ranker!”
This old man was a late Sovereign Ranker, and he was on the same level as Celeste.
One had to know that Celeste was the elder of the iridescent Sect, so she had a pretty high
status.
If the old man was on the same level as Celeste, he should also have an extraordinary identity. Of course, the man in front of the old man was even more extraordinary.
I am a quadrillionarire Chapter 1706--If he could have a late Sovereign Ranker as his protector, he was surely an heir from a major force.
When the two appeared, they suppressed the entire scene.
Everyone’s eyes were on them.
Even the young man who was about to say his name shut up when he saw them.
It was because the two had such strong energy around them.
The Sovereign Rankers, including the two mid-Sovereign Rankers on the scene, were looking at the old man with shock in their eyes.
They never expected to meet a late Sovereign Ranker here.
A powerhouse like this would not have a low status in any force.
Furthermore, it was evident that the man walking in front of him had an even higher status. judging from their positions.
The two people who came upstairs were Archimedes, the first-in-line heir of the Lightfoot. family, and his protector, Bernard.
Archimedes was sent by his family to investigate Cornelius’ death.
Coincidentally, Treasure Trove was holding their auction, so how would he miss a gathering that would involve most of the powerhouses around here?
Archimedes was just passing by on his way to Treasure Trove, but he heard someone arguing upstairs.
Therefore, his interest was piqued, and he decided to come upstairs to have a look.
He still had time before the auction anyway.
After the two came up, they sat at an empty table.
Archimedes crossed his legs and said casually, “Go on! Weren’t you guys pretty lively just now? Why did you stop the moment we came in? Just do what you should do. I just came to rest my feet and join in on the fun. Just pretend I’m not here.”
After a while, no one continued.
Eamon had pressed Louie back to his seat forcefully. At the same time, he warned Louie with his eyes to tell him to shut up.
Archimedes turned his eyes to the young man who was about to introduce himself.
“Didn’t you say you want to introduce yourself just now? Tell me. I’d like to see if I’ll sh*t myself.”
“My Lord,
you’re hilarious. I’m nothing compared to you. I will only be humiliating myself if I say it,” the young man said respectfully.
He was also warned by the mid-Sovereign Ranker in secret to not offend the man.
Plus, these two who just showed up were clearly not to be trifled with, and he was not like Louie, a brainless idiot.
“How boring.” Archimedes shook his head.
He wanted to join in on the fun, but unfortunately, the moment he came up, everyone focused on him and indirectly solved the conflict.
Archimedes glanced at everyone on the 9th floor.
There were quite a lot of Sovereign Rankers here, and there were even two mid-Sovereign Rankers.
Even though Treasure Trove’s position was starting to shake and was slowly falling behind the other four trading companies after the Palmore family’s ambitions started to show, a sleeping lion was stronger than a barking dog. Therefore, they still had a pretty strong summoning power.
This auction was Treasure Trove’s first big move after so many years.
Perhaps they were trying to raise everyone’s spirits and win back their disappearing clientele.
To be honest, Archimedes did not hope the Fellowes would give up so easily to hand over Treasure Trove.
If the Palmore family was controlling Treasure Trove, except for Holy Root, who among the three other top five trading companies would dare to strive to become the best?
This might not be good for Splendor.
The best result was the Fellowes family refusing to surrender and fight to the death with the Pamore family.
However, this was clearly impossible.
Once the Palmore family put their mind to something, the Fellowes family would not be able to resist them. Eventually, they would have to surrender obediently and give away Treasure Trove that had been passed on from their ancestors.
If not, what awaited them would be the extermination of their entire family.
I am a quadrillionarire Chapter 1707--Archimedes’ eyes continued to wander.
‘Hmm?’
He noticed a figure that was different from the others.
Everyone on the 9th floor was staring at him, but this person was eating his food and drinking his wine.
Furthermore, this person was looking out the window like he did not care about Archimedes.
As the first-in-line heir of the Lightfoot family, Archimedes was always in the spotlight no matter where he went as long as he did not meet those geniuses.
Today, he met someone who did not care about him at all, so his interest was piqued.
He shifted his gaze to that person.
After he saw the person’s face, he was a little shocked.
‘It’s a kid!
‘He doesn’t know what’s what!
‘Perhaps he’s a direct descendant from a family and this is the first time he is coming out.
‘He’s never been broken down by society, so he thinks he’s all that and is never bothered by anyone.’
Of course, Archimedes was staring at David.
David only glanced at Archimedes and Bernard when they first came up. When he saw that Bernard was a late Sovereign Ranker, he was shocked.
After that, he stopped paying attention.
Archimedes was not weak, and he had the protection of a late Sovereign Ranker, so he was definitely someone from a major force.
‘But so what?
‘What does that have to do with me?
‘If they don’t cross me, I don’t cross them.’
Now, he only wanted time to pass quickly so that the auction would start as soon as possible.
Archimedes stared at David. At the same time, he attracted the attention of the others.
The others were pretty curious about David.
David was already here when they arrived.
What was even weirder was that most of them would sit together in groups of three to five or even seven to eight.
David was the only one sitting alone.
He had a wooden long box next to him with something unknown inside.
At the same time, there was also a small wine jar on the table.
It was not the same as the other wine jars in the tavern.
It looked old so no one could tell its age.
When everyone on the 9th floor stared at him, David frowned unconsciously.
He had a strong perception, so he knew others were staring at him without looking.
David was not interested to be the center of attention.
‘Fine, I’ll go.’
He was not scared of them, and he was also not scared of the late Sovereign Ranker.
If he engaged in a fight with the late Sovereign Ranker, he might not lose since he had his mind power and Evil-Splitting Sword, but he truly did not like attention.
It would be the same no matter when and where he was.
‘If I can’t stay here, I’ll wait at Treasure Trove.
‘It’s almost time anyway.’
When David was about to get up to leave, Archimedes walked in front of him.
“My friend, you seem bored by yourself. Why don’t we have a drink?” Archimedes asked.
He wanted to see who this young man was and how dare he ignore him.
“I’m sorry, I am busy. You can drink if you want, but I won’t be drinking with you.”
David stood up after he said that. He put his sword sheath on his back and reached over to grab his Exquisite Wine of Hundred Flowers and Fruits before leaving.
Archimedes was stunned for a second.
I am a quadrillionarire Chapter 1708--Archimedes never thought a kid would reject him when he voluntarily went up to him to be friendly.
As the first-in-line heir of the Lightfoot family, Archimedes had never been insulted like this before.
So many people were watching as well!
If word got out, how would he show his face?
Everyone on the 9th floor was shocked by what David said.
Even though they did not know who Archimedes was, they knew he was not simple since he had a late Sovereign Ranker as his protector.
‘How dare that kid do that?
‘Is he an idiot?’
Before Archimedes could register what was going on, David had grabbed his things to leave.
Then, Archimedes reached out to stop David.
“Kid, you’re not conscientious at all. I am older than you, so I am your senior. Is this how you treat your senior?” Archimedes said with a gloomy face.”
“Bro, I am busy. There are so many people here. Can’t you get them to drink with you?” David answered helplessly.
He still had no idea that the person in front of him was the first-in-line heir of the Lightfoot family, and that he was here to investigate Cornelius’ death.
If David knew, he would not waste his time spewing nonsense with him.
“I want you to drink with me,” Archimedes insisted.
“I am busy!”
“Delay it!”
“No! This matter is crucial to me, so I have to leave now.”
“You can leave, but you have to leave the wine jar in your arms here. I’ll then go drink with others and let you leave.” After Archimedes said that, he stared at the wine jar in David’s arms.
He did not know what was inside.
However, since David was bringing it everywhere he went and it looked so old, Archimedes figured it must be some good stuff.
At the same time, he wanted to test David’s reactions.
If David was willing to give it to him, then he would be wrong.
If David was unwilling to give it to him, then it might be some good stuff.
When David heard that, he understood what was going on.
‘He’s interested in my Exquisite Wine of Hundred Flowers and Fruits.
‘This guy knows what’s what.
‘He knows I have good stuff in here.’
If David did not need to give Celia and the others this wine to help them get more chances to enter Eternal Realm, he would not mind sharing it.
He already had 30 thousand lavish points anyway, so he did not care about other things. However, he needed the wine, so no matter who asked for it, he would not give it to them. “My master gave me this wine, so I can’t give it to you,” David rejected without hesitation. “Oh? May I know who’s your master? Can you tell us? Maybe he’s an old friend of the Lightfoot family,” Archimedes said nonchalantly.
Of course, he did not think David’s master was an old friend of his family.
Instead, he was indirectly trying to expose his own identity.
The Lightfoot family’s status was at the top of the ranks in the Central Sacred Continent.
When everyone heard of that name, they were startled.
Indeed, when Archimedes said that, everyone’s jaw dropped.
Sounds of discussions filled the room immediately.
“He’s from the Lightfoot family, so it’s no wonder he looks so outstanding. The Lightfoot family’s reputation is fully justified indeed.”
“Yeah! This one should be Master Archimedes, the first-in-line heir of the family.”
“The Lightfoot family is the true controller of Splendor, one of the top five trading companies in the Central Sacred Continent. As the first-in-line heir of the family, Master Archimedes is indeed handsome and loaded not just in name.”
“Right? But I heard something happened to the family recently, have you heard?”
“I know some of it. Gossip says that Cornelius, the second-in-line heir of the family, died mysteriously. Everyone at the West End is so anxious. If they can’t find the murderer soon, the repercussions might spread all over the Central Sacred Continent.”
“It’s not that serious, is it?”
“Not that serious? Don’t underestimate the Lightfoot family’s strength!”
I am a quadrillionarire Chapter 1709--The sound of the discussions caused David’s heart to turn cold.
‘Archimedes?
‘The first-in-line heir of the Lightfoot family?
‘Didn’t Cornelius, whom I just killed, call himself the second-in-line heir of the Lightfoot family?’
After connecting the dots, David finally realized who the person in front of him was.
He and Cornelius, whom he just killed, were from the same family, which was the Lightfoot family.
‘What a small world.
‘I just killed the second-in-line heir and now, I ran into the first-in-line heir.
‘It seems that he doesn’t want me to leave either.
“They’re indeed from the family. They’re both so overbearing.’
When David thought about how Archimedes came to him the moment he arrived, his heart shook slightly.
‘Did Cornelius’ murder come to light and now he’s here to seek revenge?’
After thinking about it, this possibility was small,
If the Lightfoot family knew David was Cornelius’ murderer and could even find out where the murder happened, they would not just send two people over.
One of them was even the first-in-line heir of the family.
‘Are they not worried that I will also kill Archimedes?’
‘At the end of the day, I killed the two beginner Sovereign Rankers around Cornelius.
‘How would the Lightfoot family guarantee that a late Sovereign Ranker could kill me?
‘Clearly, this was unreasonable.
‘If the Lightfoot family already confirmed who the murderer was, they would gather a lot of power and suppress him with everything they have. This the only way a big family would react.
“They will avenge Cornelius and at the same time, show their family’s power to intimidate others.
‘So, Archimedes being here is just a coincidence.
‘He is not here to seek revenge.’
When David thought of this, he let out a sigh of relief on the inside.
He was not worried that the Lightfoot family would know he killed Cornelius.
Since he killed Cornelius, David was prepared to be the Lightfoot family’s enemy.
He was worried that he would be found out at this critical moment.
David might not defeat the old late Sovereign Ranker next to Archimedes, but he would not be scared.
However, if they started fighting, David would surely miss the auction that he pinned all his hopes on and had prepared for a very long time.
If he missed the auction, he would not be able to spend money to get lavish points.
If that happened, David would not be able to raise his strength for the time being.
He could not accept this no matter what.
Furthermore, the Lightfoot family would also chase and kill him.
David was just a mid-Sovereign Ranker now, so even with the help of his mind power and Evil- Splitting Sword, it would not be enough to defeat a peak Sovereign Ranker or even a partial Saint.
Even if the Lightfoot family did not have Saints, David might not be able to escape the Central Sacred Continent unharmed.
Therefore, the auction was very important to David.
If nothing happened, David would become a partial Saint after the auction.
At that time, David would have the power to exterminate the entire Lightfoot family if the Saints did not show up.
Plus, Saints would not show up casually.
As long as David did not show that he had the power to crush everyone below Saint Realm, the Lightfoot family would not ask their Saint Realm grandmasters to come out.
If not, it would be making a fuss out of nothing, and also show how weak the Lightfoot family
was.
I am a quadrillionarire Chapter 1710--That way, David could fight or retreat depending on the situation and continue to deal with the Lightfoot family slowly.
The more he delayed, the greater his advantage.
Countless thoughts flashed across David’s mind to calm him down.
He should try his best not to have any conflicts with Archimedes now.
He should think of a way to leave and then decide after participating in the auction safely.
After the discussion around him died down, David said, “My master and I have been living in seclusion this entire time, and I was only let out recently. Hence, I don’t think he’ll know your family.”
“In seclusion? Where?” Archimedes asked curiously.
“I’m sorry, this is the secret between me and my master. I can’t tell you.”
“Is it a secret or are you looking down on my family and me?”
“Whatever! I have to go, so please get out of the way.”
“What if I don’t?” Archimedes said mockingly.
‘What do you want? Is everyone from big families like you? Do you all like to make something out of nothing?”
David started to get mad.
He did not want to have any conflict with Archimedes in case it would affect the auction later. However, he could not stop the other party from causing trouble for him.
If he kept retreating, it would make the other party continue to push.
Their harsh quarrel caused the onlookers around them to show excited expressions on their faces.
Everyone loved drama.
It would be better if this escalated and it would be best if they could fight, so everyone would have something interesting to watch.
A Lightfoot family member’s argument was more interesting than the argument just now.
They were not on the same level at all.
At this moment, Eamon let out a huge sigh of relief.
He joined the Heavenly Sect for so many years and he thought his cousins might have grown.
However, they were more arrogant than before. The main thing was that they were stupid and did not know how to read the room.
If Archimedes did not come in time and stopped the argument from escalating, both sides would suffer once a fight broke out.
‘How should I explain to Master if they accidentally hurt Angelica?’
Eamon swore that he would not contact those two idiots the next time he came here.
If not, they would be the death of him.
Archimedes was utterly insulted by what David said.
He was the first in line heir of the family, so how dare a punk speak to him like that?
Plus, so many people were staring.
“Brat, I told you that you can leave, but you have to leave the wine jar and the wooden box on your back here. Otherwise, don’t even think about stepping out of this place. This is the Central Sacred Continent, not the old growth forest where you lived in seclusion. No one can leave safely after offending me.”
The first time Archimedes laid eyes on David, he felt that this kid was special.
Everyone was focused on him, but David was focusing on his food.
Plus, after Archimedes got close to him, he inexplicably felt a very disgusting energy from this kid. He smelled like blood.
This was a disgust that came from the deepest part of his heart, making Archimedes want to kill David on the stop.
It was as if he could only stop the disgust that way.
If there were not so many people here, Archimedes might not be able to hold back from killing David.
In reality, this was because David had the blood of a Lightfoot direct descendant on his hands. If the Saint Realm grandmasters of the Lightfoot family were in front of David and not Archimedes, they could tell at one glance that David had killed a direct descendant.
When someone from a family became a Saint, their blood vessels would undergo some changes.
Anyone who killed a direct descendant in this kind of family would have a faint smell of blood on them. It would only disappear as time went on.
However, only people from the same family could sense the blood, and they had to get close to the murderer to do so.
For Saints, they could sense it even at a distance,
The stronger they were, the stronger they would sense it.
Archimedes and Cornelius were direct descendants of the Lightfoot family.
Thus, Archimedes had this feeling when around David because the latter had killed Cornelius not long ago.
However, Archimedes was still young, so he did not know the reason for this.
On the other hand, Bernard, who was standing next to him, could not feel anything because he was just a collateral relative of the family.
