Ch. 1721..1730
I am a quadrillionarire Chapter 1721--The beautiful woman went to the stage with a wooden tray and stood there silently.
After that, Alba started introducing the first item.
As the host of the auction, she needed to state the item’s details, directions, and functions so that everyone would know what they were bidding on.
They would only bid with everything they had if they needed it or if that thing was suitable for them.
The host played an important role in this.
They needed to use flowery words to pique the bidder’s interest 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.
Everyone knew what that was.
It was a memory stone!
As long as the user crushed it, the content in the stone would enter the user’s brain.
Nova gave one to David when she left the Iridescent Sect.
The map of the entire Star Kingdom was recorded inside.
Therefore, he used this map to accurately locate the Central Sacred Continent.
If not, it would have been difficult for a newcomer to find the Central Sacred Continent in the vast Star Kingdom without any guidance.
He would also have wasted a lot of time.
The memory stone was not very precious, but the content recorded within might be important.
Similarly, it might be something trivial and cost nothing.
Or it could contain some maps or combat skills, or even the entrance of certain treasures.
It would not be easy to estimate the value.
The stone was just a carrier while the thing recorded inside was the truly valuable item.
If Treasure Trove was auctioning the memory stone, then it must have something important recorded inside
“I think everyone can see that this is a memory stone. Even though it looks normal, its contest is not
“It records a powerful combat skill called the Ninth Rank Undulating Palm, but only the first thater are resorded here, which can also be called the Third Rank Undulating Palm As for the latter sta it is said that it has long been lost, and Treasure Trove doesn’t have it. Even if you undy have the fit of three, it is still quite powerful Every time you progress our bevel, its power
will double, and it can also be superimposed. After you learn all three levels, the superimposed power will be equivalent to a middle-grade combat skill.”
When everyone heard that it was equivalent to a middle-grade combat skill, a lot of them showed excited expressions.
Combat skills were just like Soulbound Weapons. They were a rare resources in Star Kingdom.
However, combat skills would not increase one’s combat power as much as a Soulbound Weapon.
Therefore, the value of a combat skill was also slightly lower than a Soulbound Weapon.
When one could not increase their realm, combat skills and Soulbound Weapons would be used to increase combat power.
Alba had not finished her introduction.
She continued, “Plus, the Ninth-Rank Undulating Palm was instilled in this stone by a Saint. At the same time, it also came with the realization of the Saint. I believe that as long as you’re not a fool, you’ll master the Ninth-Rank Undulating Palm very quickly and master its essence to draw out its formidable power.
“Now, let’s start the bidding for the first three levels of the Ninth-Rank Undulating Palm. The base price is 5 billion Star Dollars. Each price increase should not be less than 100 million.”
After Alba said that, someone yelled out immediately.
“Five and a half billion!”
“Six billion!”
“Six and a half billion!”
“Seven billion!”
”
“Twenty three billion!”
After multiple rounds of bidding, the price of the first three levels of the Ninth-Rank Undulating Palm reached a high price of 23 billion.
I am a quadrillionarire Chapter 1722--This was not the end.
“25 billion!”
A loud and clear voice said.
Archimedes was the one who called out this price.
Splendor, one of the top five trading companies controlled by the Lightfoot family, had almost as much wealth as the Fellowes family.
As the first-in-line heir of the Lightfoot family and the future head of the family, Archimedest could spend as much money as he wanted as long as he said the word.
When he said 25 billion, no one continued to bid.
Firstly, they recognized him as the future head of the Lightfoot family, so they were reluctant to offend him.
Secondly, this price was high enough that if they continued to bid, they would be paying a premium on top of the value of the good.
In the end, the first three levels of the Ninth Rank Undulating Palm was sold for 25 billion. Star Dollars.
However, the person who got it was Archimedes, and this made Alba, who was on the stage,
feel uncomfortable.
This was just the first item, and it was the first three levels of the Ninth Rank Undulating Palm that had a middle-grade combat skill.
If that were the case, how precious would the next items be?
Everyone showed excited looks and were staring 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.
His goal today was 1.2 trillion Star Dollars.
If one item was about 25 billion, wouldn’t he need to bid on 50 of them to reach that amount/
There might not be so many treasures in this auction, right?
Even if he bid on everything, it would still not be enough
‘Is this the large auction that Treasure Trove has prepared for a long time?”
David shook his head in disappointment
The higher his expectations, the greater his disappointment
What he did not know was that the first item was just an appetizer
The truly valuable items would be offered at the end
After the first item was sold, the second item was brought on stage.
Alba started to introduce the item again.
Two hours passed very quickly, and more than ten treasures were sold.
David had not even bid once.
This was because the prices were too low and there was not one thing that exceeded 50 billion, so it would not be worth his bid.
80% of the items that were sold now belonged to Archimedes.
As Archimedes accumulated more and more treasures, Alba’s face under the veil became more and more off-colored.
Two more hours went by.
The first phase of the auction was over, so Alba found a reason to get offstage to rest.
Of course, it was not that she was tired and wanted to rest. Instead, she went to find Valerio to ask what she should do.
Archimedes was clearly here to cause trouble.
Treasure Trove sacrificed so much to attract their old clients so that they would come back to work with Treasure Trove, not to benefit that rascal Archimedes.
Even though he needed to pay for those items, would Treasure Trove care about his money?
The moment Alba left, the scene was in an uproar.
“Master Archi, don’t you think it’s inappropriate for us to do this?” Bernard asked.
“What’s wrong with this? It’s an auction, and it’s not like I’m not paying,” Archimedes said indifferently.
“Treasure Trove is doing this to rope in some old and new clients. If we do this, we’ll disrupt their plan. The Fellowes family will not be happy.”
“Hmph, so what? They are just barely holding on. Anders is living in seclusion to break through to partial Saint, and after he succeeds and comes out, there will surely be some big event to accumulate more prestige for him to become the future head of his family. What would be a better gift than Treasure Trove?”
“Anders might be one of the rare geniuses in Star Kingdom, but even if he breaks through, he’ll just be a partial Saint I don’t think it’ll be easy for him to take down Treasure Trove either. After all, the Fellowes family has three True Saints,” Bernard asked curiously
“It’s indeed not easy for him to take over Treasure Trove, but what if he makes the Sacred Saint of his family ask for it? How could the Fellowes family say no?” Archimedes said with a cold smirk
I am a quadrillionarire Chapter 1723--“I-Is that possible? A Sacred Saint is the strongest person in Star Kingdom, why would they care about something so trivial?” Bernard asked in shock
“How is it not? You have to know that Anders is the number one genius in the history of the Palmore family. Even the Sacred Saint grandmaster praises him to high heavens. It’s said that Anders used to trained with that grandmaster since he was small. If not, how would he have the strength he has now? Plus, the Fellowes family is not as powerful as you said Two of the three True Saint grandmasters got hurt in the previous battle. They haven’t recovered until now.”
Archimedes exposed another shocking secret.
Luckily Bernard blocked out the people surrounding them when they were speaking, 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, a few of the major forces in the Central Sacred Continent also knew about what Archimedes mentioned.
However, they all shared a tacit understanding, so no one said anything
Everyone had secrets.
If you exposed other people’s secrets, they could also expose yours.
In the end, both sides would suffer.
Therefore, even if Archimedes was the first in-line heir of the Lightfoot family, he did not dare to spread this.
He also knew the people around him could not hear him, so that was why he dared to say it out loud to vent the anger in his heart.
Archimedes initially did not plan to buy so many things during this auction to offend the Fellowes family.
However, that accident happened while waiting, and now, he could not vent the anger in his
heart
Archimedes felt remorseful.
If he did not go up to see what was happening out of curiosity when he passed by the tavern and heard the argument, would the subsequent outcome have happened?
He was scared to the point of wetting himself by a strange brat in front of so many people This would be the biggest humiliation of his life
How would Archimedes feel better if he did not vent
He would not allow the Fellowes family to have a good time if he could not
“Who asked you to host this aation?
‘That incident wouldn’t have happened if you didn’t host the auction.”
Archimedes was blaming Treasure Trove venomously for everything that happened since he could not find the culprit.
This was what the direct descendants of major forces would usually do.
Whenever they suffered a disadvantage, they would need to find someone to vent on.
Bernard was shocked after he heard that.
Even though he was a late Sovereign Ranker, he was only a collateral relative of the Lightfoot family so he could not become a senior core of the family. That was why his knowledge was limited.
What Archimedes told him today was a shocking secret.
The Fellowes family only looked powerful from the outside.
Two of their True Saints were injured and still had not recovered.
‘However, this is between the Fellowes and Palmore family.
‘It’s not smart for Master Archi to get involved in this.
‘The Lightfoot family will also suffer if the Fellowes family goes mad and decides to counterattack at the last second.
‘I have to talk to Master Archi.’
As Archimedes’ protector, even though it was said their fates were intertwined, this was only one-sided.
To put it bluntly, Bernard would not be spared if something happened to Archimedes.
On the contrary, if something happened to Bernard or if he died, nothing would happen to Archimedes.
I am a quadrillionarire Chapter 1724--The Lightfoot family would even give him a stronger protector.
“Master Archi, we will also suffer if we don’t show any respect to the Fellowes family and they decide to look into this,” Bernard advised.
“Are we disrespecting them? I didn’t bid on everything. Only 80% of the stuff.”
Archimedes was indifferent.
“Master, I know you’re mad and you need to vent. Now that you’ve done that, please calm. down. Don’t bid for anything after this. If not, we won’t be able to explain it to the family.” “What’s so hard about that? Uncle Bernard, just leave me alone. Since I’m at an auction, I should buy to my heart’s content. I have all the money in the world.”
“Master Archi, you should think clearly. If the Fellowes family decides to look into this, the family will also be upset with you. You might not get the support of the family anymore if you want to use the family’s power to handle certain people later on.”
Bernard’s words went straight to Archimedes’ heart.
If he wanted to get rid of everyone who saw him wet himself at the tavern, he surely needed to use the family’s hidden power.
If the seniors disagreed, it would be a little troublesome.
He could only tell them what happened so that the family would destroy those people for him.
However, how could he tell them what happened?
Archimedes would never tell his family what happened even if they killed him.
Once he did, his position in the family would plummet.
They might even kick him out and cultivate another first-in-line heir.
“Uncle Bernard, I got it. I will restrain myself next and not bid recklessly. I’ll only bid for the things I like,” Archimedes said.
“Thank you for being wise, Master.”
On the other side, after Alba walked down the stage, she ran to Valerio.
“Grandpa Val, that rascal Archimedes is here to make trouble. If he continues, our auction.
won’t achieve its desired effect,” Alba cried angrily in front of Valerio.
Valerio did not expect someone to cause trouble at this auction, and that this person was even the first-in-line heir of the Lightfoot family.
‘Is the Lightfoot family trying to have a fallout with the Fellowes family?
‘No, what would they gain from this?”
“Alba, I see. Go back and continue hosting. A lot of them are still waiting. No matter what happens, we have to continue the auction,” Valerio thought about it and said.
“But what if Archimedes continues to do what he did just now? If we continue, it will only
serve his purpose.”
“Let him continue then.”
“But…”
“Alba, why don’t you continue hosting the auction? I will pay attention to him. If he continues, I will find a few people to raise the price. If he still wants to bid, it will be at a
premium several times higher than the value. If he doesn’t, we won’t lose anything if we bid on it ourselves.”
Alba thought about it and figured this might work.
“Alright, Grandpa Val, I’ll go back now. You should be quick. I think he’s here to make trouble and he won’t stop just like this.”
“Okay, go now. Don’t let everyone wait.”
Alba left quickly and continued hosting the auction.
Valerio did not move. However, his brows were tightly furrowed.
‘What’s the Lightfoot family trying to do?
‘Did Archimedes’ family order him to do this? Or is it all Archimedes?
‘What’s the purpose of this?”
Countless questions were swimming through Valerio’s brain.
After he thought about it, Valerio still could not understand.
He took a deep breath.
This was such an eventful period for the Fellowes family.
Even a junior like Archimedes dared to come to challenge the family’s bottom line.
I am a quadrillionarire Chapter 1725--Alba went back on stage to continue hosting the auction.
As the second phase started, the items were wheeled onto the stage one by one.
The treasures were clearly better than the ones during the first phase.
The bottom price also doubled.
Not to mention the final price, some even increased by four or five times.
Under the stage, David finally started getting interested.
He casually bid for three items and spent nearly 300 billion Star Dollars. At the end of the auction, he would get 3000 lavish points after the transaction was completed.
This was still very far away from his goal of coming to the auction.
David wanted to bid on a few more, but if he did this, it would be too eye-catching.
Even if he only bid three, he had already attracted the attention of a lot of people.
Luckily, Archimedes bid on more than ten items in one go during the first phase, so he was already at the center of attention.
Therefore, David did not stand out too much after bidding for three goods.
During the second phase, Archimedes only bid once, which relaxed Alba a lot.
The Fellowes family was not in the position to have a conflict with the Lightfoot family now. Judging from Grandpa Val’s action, he would surely demand an explanation from the Lightfoot family if Archimedes did not stop.
They were all in this field, so if you could come to cause trouble at my territory, I could do the same at yours.
At the end of the day, both sides would suffer, allowing others to benefit from their suffering. Since Archimedes stopped in time, the Fellowes family pretended like they did not see that. At most, they would take out more treasures. The Fellowes family could afford to sacrifice something so small.
After all, the items during the first phase were not so precious.
If Archimedes continued doing what he did during the second and third phases, the Fellowes family would have become hostile to them.
If that happened, both sides would suffer.
Even if the Lightfoot family were the ones to take advantage of them, they would also suffer.
There were initially only about 20 items during the second phase.
After Archimedes stopped, Valerio asked them to add 10 more at the last minute.
Which meant 30 items were sold during the second phase.
David got 3, Archimedes got 1, and the remaining 27 were shared among the other
guests.
This was more fitting to Treasure Trove’s initial purpose of hosting this auction.
This was a situation where everyone would be happy.
Soon, the third phase which everyone was waiting for arrived. It was also the climax of the auction.
Alba cleared her throat and said in a clear voice, “Fellow guests, the third phase of the auction will start soon. This is also the last phase of bidding. I believe you can’t wait anymore. Everything that’s coming up next is very valuable so you all better check if you have enough money in your pockets.”
After she said that, someone under the stage said, “Miss Fellowes, hurry up! We can’t wait anymore. I didn’t bid just now because I was waiting for this moment. I want to take one of the valuables you mentioned home!”
“Yeah, Miss Fellowes, stop keeping us on tenterhooks! Even though the treasures just now were not bad, it’s only valuable for certain people. They’re not enough to make us want to take them home even if it will bankrupt us. I hope the treasures up next won’t disappoint us.”
“We’re waiting for the final item to come up.”
“Me too!”
“Me too!”
The guests under the stage started to make noise.
No matter who the host of the auction was, the final item would be the most valuable one. A lot of people came just for this.
I am a quadrillionarire Chapter 1726--The goods before were just appetizers.
Only those small families would bid for them.
The major forces would not be bothered by those treasures.
What they needed was the treasure Alba mentioned.
Now that they were at a critical moment, they could not wait anymore.
“Don’t worry, since I told you it’s very valuable, I won’t let you down. Treasure Trove put in a
lot of money for these items. Next, please welcome our staff to bring the first treasure on stage.’
After Alba said that, someone wheeled the first item over.
It was still covered by a red cloth.
Everyone under the stage was staring fixedly at it.
Alba walked in front of the treasure and pulled a corner of the red cloth.
The entire scene was silent.
One could even hear the crowd’s heavy breathing.
David’s eyes were shining as he stared straight at the stage as well.
This treasure would determine whether he could spend the remaining 900 billion Star Dollar to achieve his goal.
Even if this treasure was not good enough, the next one had to do it.
Alba pulled on the corner of the cloth but she did not reveal the item for a long time, keeping everyone on tenterhooks.
When it was about time, Alba quickly pulled away the red cloth on the treasure.
An iron hammer shining with a blue light appeared in front of everyone. Inside the blue light were flashes of lightning.
‘Is that… a hammer?’
Alba started introducing it.
“Don’t blink. This is… um… a hammer.
“But it’s not an ordinary hammer. It’s a mid-level Soulbound Weapon. At the same time, it’s at the highest level among mid-level Soulbound Weapons. It’s only one step away from being a high-level Soulbound Weapon.
“Its name is Hammer of Thunder!
“The Hammer of Thunder is the maximum mid-level Soulbound Weapon. It is very powerful, and it’s made from the Thunder Heart Stone that was refined by the Heavenly Thunder. It has a very strong thunder and lightning attributes. Whenever you’re fighting an enemy, thunder and lightning will come out at the same time with just a smash of the hammer. Your enemy
will not be able to resist, and its attacking range is flexible.
“If you use it at large range, it will simply display more of the hammer’s power.
“According to historical records, a powerhouse used the Hammer of Thunder to break apart a continent with just one smash, causing countless casualties. You can see how powerful it is, and it’s definitely rare.
“Imagine this, if you cast the Eternal Golden Body and you have the Hammer of Thunder that will emit lightning, what would the effect be like?
“You might even smash planets with just one blow.
“You will be the embodiment of the God of Thunder if you have this.”
Alba rattled on.
In the end, she did not forget to add, “Only true men use the Hammer of Thunder.”
All the men at the auction were staring straight at the hammer.
This hammer was gorgeous.
It glowed with a blue light along with the occasional lightning.
When they heard what Alba said, they started to imagine themselves casting the Eternal Golden Body and fighting their enemies with the Hammer of Thunder.
As thunder and lightning roared, they were like the embodiment of the God of Thunder. It would look so domineering.
They could feel their adrenaline pumping as they imagined that scene.
No man could resist showing up on the battlefield and using this combat skill in such a domineering way.
I am a quadrillionarire Chapter 1727--Archimedes felt very excited as he looked at the Hammer of Thunder on stage.
This was the weapon he wanted.
There were a lot of Soulbound Weapons in Splendor, including mid-level and high-level Soulbound Weapons.
However, none of those made Archimedes feel as excited as the Hammer of Thunder.
He had to get it no matter the price.
Splendor lacked everything except money.
Since the Fellowes family took out this kind of Soulbound Weapon, it seemed that they were burning their boats.
However, would it work?
At the end of the day, Treasure Trove would still belong to the Palmore family.
If the Fellowes family could not find a new Sacred Saint as their backer, they could not escape the Palmore family’s control.
Every major force knew this, so the Fellowes family had to know this as well.
Moreover, there were only 6 Sacred Saints on the surface of the entire Star Kingdom.
No one would offend the Sacred Saint from the Palmore family for the sake of the Fellowes family.
As for the hidden ones, there might be a few around, but could the Fellowes family find them? Even if they did, why would the Sacred Saint help them?
The Fellowes family was facing a dead end. It was just a matter of time before they died out.
This was unless there was a miracle and the True Saint of the Fellowes family that was not injured broke through to Sacred Saint.
This was their family’s only hope.
“Miss Fellowes, is the hammer as magical as you said? Are you lying to us?” Someone questioned.
“Yeah, Miss Fellowes. Since you are basing its effect off historical records, who would know its true effect since no one used it before? Is it really as strong as you said?”
“We have the same question too. Why don’t you use it and show us the effect? If not, it’s hard for us to believe you.”
Since someone brought this up, there would be a second, third… or even more.
Alba had expected questions, but at the same time, she did not expect this.
It was normal for someone to ask questions in a small auction.
However, people usually would not question anything on an auction hosted by Treasure Trove.
After all, their power was evident. They had a lot of assets and properties, so how could they risk their company’s reputation for some small benefit?
If Treasure Trove encountered such questions, it meant their reputation was starting to plummet.
Alba replied, feeling a little angry, “Everyone, Treasure Trove is one of the top five trading companies in the Central Sacred Continent. This is due to the hard work and accumulation of the ancestors of the Fellowes family and the generations after them. Do you think we would deliberately ruin the reputation of the company? Is our reputation only worth as much as a mid -level Soulbound Weapon? You underestimate us too much.”
“Miss Fellowes, please don’t misunderstand. We’re not doubting you, but we just want to see how powerful the hammer is. There are so many of us and only one of us can get it, so the person who got it will surely treat it as a treasure and not be willing to display it. Since it’s still with you, can you show us its power to fulfill our wish?”
This person’s words were not as harsh as what the person said just now.
He immediately gained the acknowledgment of others.
“He’s right. We would never doubt Treasure Trove. We just want to see how powerful it is, that’s all. I hope you will make that happen, Miss Fellowes.”
When Alba heard that, she did not reject the request.
Her initial goal was to satisfy everyone here.
Hence, she could cater to this request.
However, the person who doubted her spoke too harshly, making her a little uncomfortable.
“Since you said that, I will show you how powerful the Hammer of Thunder is. I’ll let you see whether Treasure Trove is lying to you.”
After Alba said that, she held the hammer with her right hand.
Then, she used all of her peak Ruler Rank strength to activate the hammer.
Everyone was focused on her.
I am a quadrillionarire Chapter 1728--At that moment…
Boom!
Crash!
Blue light covered the stage.
Countless blue lightning shot out from the Hammer of Thunder.
It was like a heavenly force, making anyone with weak strength feel terror from the bottom of their hearts.
At this moment, Alba was surrounded by blue lightning.
Countless lightning surrounded her, but she was not hurt at all.
It was as if they were welcoming their master.
This scene shocked so many people.
David was also mesmerized.
This was also the first time he saw something like this.
He had to admit that this hammer was indeed amazing.
At this moment, a sentence popped up from the system.
[One of the top three Ancient Weapons, Hammer of Thunder, detected. Even though it was damaged, it was the main component of the God of Thunder Hammer. Host, please do everything you can to get it. The system will undergo its final upgrade after collecting the top three Ancient Weapons: Sky-Splitting Ax, God of Thunder Hammer, and Sun Bow.] ‘What?
‘Isn’t this the Hammer of Thunder?
‘How did it become the God of Thunder Hammer?
‘It’s even one of the top three Ancient Weapons?
‘Is this hammer really that bad*ss?
“The main thing is that this thing is one of the requirements for the system to undergo its final upgrade.’
David was still very confused about his system, but this would not stop him from trusting it. Since the system said it was a God of Thunder Hammer, then that must be the case.
If it said it was one of the top three Ancient Weapons, then that must be true too.
As for why the God of Thunder Hammer, one of the top three Ancient Weapons, only had the power of a maximum mid-level Soulbound Weapon, it must be because of the damage.
No matter what, David had to get that hammer.
Alba held the hammer in her hand as countless blue lightning surrounded her.
Every lightning bolt was powerful.
She was only a peak Ruler Ranker, so she could not make use of all the hammer’s power.
If she were a Sovereign Ranker, then this would be possible.
The effect would surely be better than what was being shown right now.
Alba was having a lot of fun watching everyone stare at her with their jaws on the floor.
As time went on, she could not endure it anymore.
She could only barely activate a mid-level Soulbound Weapon with her peak Ruler Rank strength. Thus, she felt very drained.
Only a beginner-level Soulbound Weapon was suitable for her.
Alba had no idea that she was holding the God of Thunder Hammer, one of the top three Ancient Weapons.
Its power surpassed a first-rate Soulbound Weapon.
This hammer had been in the warehouse of Treasure Trove for a very long time.
No one knew when it was obtained, and gradually, it became one of the Fellowes family’s heirlooms and was passed down until now.
Since the God of Thunder Hammer was the Fellowes’ family’s heirloom, they would not touch it unless they had to.
If they were not in a life-or-death situation now, they definitely would not take it out.
I am a quadrillionarire Chapter 1730--Valerio was also facing a headache.
He could not kick Archimedes out, so he could only swallow his grievance.
“Yeah! Master Achirmedes was the eldest young master of Splendor, who in this place is richer than him? Since he’s interested, let’s not bid.”
Alba did not know how to answer those people.
She believed Grandpa Val was watching this in the dark. Since he did not show himself, it meant he was agreeing to this.
Therefore, Alba turned a deaf ear and started the bidding.
“Everyone, we will start the bidding now. A mid-level Soulbound Weapon Hammer of Thunder. The base price is 50 billion Star Dollars. The increment between bids should not be less than 1 billion Star Dollars.”
After Alba said that, a voice said.
“500 billion!”
That person was Archimedes.
As soon as he named the price, he increased the base price by ten fold, not giving other people a chance at all.
At the same time, he was showing his determination to get the hammer.
After Archimedes said that, he stood up and turned around. He said to everyone, “Hello, my name is Archimedes Lightfoot. I like this hammer a lot, so please consider my feelings and let me have it. I promise I only want this and I won’t fight you all for anything else. What do you think?”
Splendor was indeed loaded.
However, Archimedes was not a fool. He would still try his best to not spend as much.
A businessman’s aim was to use the least cost to gain the biggest benefit.
After Archimedes said that, he turned around and sat down before anyone could say anything.
He seemed to be asking everyone’s permission, but it was a blatant threat.
He just did not say it out loud.
Anyone who dared to fight him for the hammer would be his enemy.
On the stage, Alba was fuming as she looked at the insufferably arrogant Archimedes.
If she were to auction the Hammer of Thunder normally, it would surely be worth more than 500 billion.
She looked at the corner.
Valerio shook his head at her, hinting at her to turn a blind eye and continue the auction.
Alba had no choice. She could only breath in twice to calm herself down.
Archimedes’ words worked.
Despite not liking how he behaved, no one dared to stand up and disagree. After all, they knew who he was and none of them could afford to offend him.
Time passed slowly.
Alba hoped that someone would stand up and dampen Archimedes’ spirit.
However, after a long time, no one dared to say anything.
Alba looked around but she could not see David.
‘Does David not like the Hammer of Thunder?
‘Or does he think he doesn’t need to offend the Lightfoot family for the sake of a mid-level Soulbound Weapon?
‘Indeed, someone as powerful as David would not find trouble deliberately.’
“Miss Fellowes, since no one is bidding for it, then announce the winner now. I can’t wait to try its power. I believe I will have a huge increase in my power with the Hammer of Thunder. Hahaha!” Archimedes chortled.
“There’s still time. Why are you so worried?” Alba asked blankly.
“Isn’t it obvious? Ask them! Which one of you dares to bid against me?”
Alba ignored Archimedes.
She looked at others and said, “Hammer of Thunder, a mid-level Soulbound Weapon, going for 500 billion Star Dollars. Is there no one willing to go higher? I’ll count to three. If there’s no one else, it’ll be sold for 500 billion.
“Three!
“Two!”
When Alba was about to say ‘one’, a voice said.
“600 billion!”
I am a quadrillionarire Chapter 1729--Alba deactivated the Hammer of Thunder and the stage returned to its previous calmness.
The countless blue lightning also disappeared.
The hammer lay there quietly.
At this moment, Alba felt weak and sore. She only activated the hammer for a while, but she felt drained.
She was still too weak.
After
recomposing herself, she asked, “Are you all satisfied with the hammer’s performance?”
The people at the scene still had not recovered from the shock.
No matter how powerful the hammer was, the performance just now was too eye-catching.
The Hammer of Thunder was definitely an item for posers.
“Miss Fellowes, start the bidding. I can’t wait.” Archimedes’ eyes were heated and he said impatiently.
Alba looked at Archimedes. She felt a little hopeless on the inside.
She knew this guy was about to start again. She did not want the hammer to go to Archimedes, but she had no choice.
She could not take away anyone’s right to bid in the auction unless they had a record of bidding but not paying.
Would Archimedes do that kind of thing judging from his status?
Alba ignored Archimedes and continued, “Everyone, you must know that I am just a peak Ruler Ranker. If you want to make full use of this hammer, you need to be at least at Sovereign Rank. If a Sovereign Ranker uses the hammer, it will surely be more powerful than what you saw just now.”
When Archimedes saw Alba ignoring her, his anger that had not been diminished rose again.
‘That b*tch Alba. She’s just a chess piece abandoned by her family. How dare she act so recklessly in front of me?’
Even though he was mad, he could not do anything to Alba.
It was not because Alba was a direct descendant, instead, it was because she was Anders’ fiance.
The Palmore family was on the same level as the Ginger family, the family backing the Lightfoot family.
They were all among the six top forces in Star Kingdom
Even though Archimedes was the future head of the family, he could not afford to offend someone like Anders.
Their difference was not only in status.
Both sides were also miles apart when it came to talent.
Although Anders was older than Archimedes, he was not a lot older.
However, his strength was much higher.
“Miss Fellowes, start the bidding. You don’t have to introduce it anymore. We saw the hammer’s power. It’s definitely a top-quality Soulbound Weapon!”
“Yeah, start the bidding! I’ve been waiting for so long and I’ve waited for something I like. I have to buy the hammer even if I go bankrupt!”
“Just give up! You want to buy the Hammer of Thunder with those few coins of yours? Stop dreaming! Don’t you see that Master Archimedes is still here? Who will win against him? I think we should stop wasting our effort and let Master Archimedes have it.”
The person saying this was kissing Archimedes’ ass. At the same time, he was blaming Treasure Trove for inviting this first-in-line heir.
To be honest, he misunderstood Treasure Trove.
How would the Fellowes family invite him?
They invited the person in charge of Splendor at West End.
After all, they were in the same area, so this was a courtesy.
However, Archimedes was here coincidentally.
