Ch. 1731..1740
I am a quadrillionarire Chapter 1732--When they saw how fearless David was, they started to wonder if this kid had a stronger background than Archimedes.
‘Is his family even more powerful than the Lightfoot family?
‘If not, how could he show such a fearless expression after yelling at Archimedes?’
Would the two direct descendants’ argument bring out a confrontation between two big families?
With the Saint Association around, it had been a long time since a huge battle happened in Star Kingdom.
A lot of people looked forward to a huge battle.
Only Alba was not alarmed by what David said.
This reaction was only fitting for a disciple who had a Sacred Saint master.
If David was timid in front of someone like Archimedes, then Alba would start to doubt his identity.
At this moment, Archimedes was fuming. His eyes were red, and his anger was about to drown out his rationality.
He only had one thought in his head, and it was to kill that scoundrel.
However, before Archimedes killed David, Archimedes wanted to torture David so that he would regret.
offending him.
“Bernard, get him. I want to pull out his tendons and skin him alive. I want him to wish he’s dead,” Archimedes spat.
“Master, we’re at Treasure Trove’s auction, so it’s inappropriate for us to do that. Let’s wait until after this ends,” Bernard advised.
He knew his master was seeing red.
However, they would offend the Fellowes family if they acted at the auction.
Even if the Fellowes family was in dire straits, they would also not spare the two.
If the Fellowes family decided to look into this, this would directly affect Master Archi taking over the position of head of the family.
To put it nicely, Archimedes was acting in a blind rage, but to put it bluntly, he had no regard for the general situation and could not see the bigger picture.
The Lightfoot seniors would not be happy about this.
“I said, go get him! Didn’t you hear me?” Archimedes repeated.
He was already blinded by rage.
‘To hell with this auction and the Hammer of Thunder. They’re not important anymore.”
Right now, Archimedes only wanted the kid in front of him to know what it was like to suffer a fate worse than death.
“But Master Archi…”
“No buts, Uncle Bernard. You’ve been with me for so many years and you know how I am. I don’t want to repeat myself.”
“Master, I’m your protector. Not only do I have to protect your safety, but I also have to teach you. If you take action today, even if you catch that kid and vent the anger in your heart, so what? Have you ever thought of the consequences? The seniors will be disappointed in you when the Fellowes family looks. into this. They will wonder how a person who can’t see the bigger picture could be the head of the family. Will he lead the family into a decline? If you think you can accept this consequence, then I’ll get him right now.”
When Bernard said this, he blocked out his surroundings.
The outsiders could not hear what he said.
Archimedes was on the brink of an outburst, but he was brought back to his senses after Bernard said this.
The gains would not make up for the losses if he lost the seniors’ confidence in him because of a temporary bliss just like Bernard said.
Archimedes’ ultimate goal was not to be the head of the family.
He had even bigger and wilder dreams.
However, he had to become the head of the family and get a hold of the family’s resources to do what he wanted to do next.
“Hiss… Huff…”
Archimedes took a deep breath before exhaling.
“Thank you, Uncle Bernard. I was blinded by rage just now. If you were not here, I might not have been able to turn back time if I took action today.”
“It’s good if you understand. You have to consider the general situation no matter what. I’ll keep an eye on that kid. We can act after the auction.”
Bernard let out a sigh of relief.
He was worried that Archimedes would insist on taking action because he could not get over it.
At the end of the day, if the family decided to look into this, as Archimedes’ protector, Bernard would suffer as well if he did not stop Archimedes but instead helped him.
“I got it, Uncle Bernard.”
I am a quadrillionarire Chapter 1731--When Alba heard that voice, her eyes lit up.
She was very familiar with that voice.
Indeed, that man never disappointed her.
The person who called out the price was, of course, David.
He was too focused on the system just now, so he did not notice the bidding had started for the Hammer of Thunder.
This was the God of Thunder Hammer, one of the top three Ancient Weapons, so David had to get it.
How could he allow Archimedes to snatch it away from him?
He would not care even if he had to expose himself and allow Archimedes to recognize him.
If he got the hammer, with a little more time, David could quickly become a partial Saint.
Would he still be scared of Archimedes then?
Of course, partial Saints were not invincible. After all, the Lightfoot family had a few True Saint ancestors. He could only say he was not scared of Archimedes and his protector Bernard, not the entire Lightfoot family.
If he wanted to achieve that, he still needed Alba’s help.
Once David yelled the price, everyone turned their eyes to him.
They wanted to see who was so fearless to not show the first-in-line heir of the Lightfoot family any respect.
‘This is going to be good.”
After Archimedes just asked Alba to announce the result since no one dared to bid anymore, someone called out 600 billion.
It was 100 billion more than his bid.
Wasn’t this a blatant slap across his face?
He was even doing it in front of so many people.
How could Archimedes endure such a grievance?
He stood up with a dark face and turned to look at David.
However, David had put on a disguise, so Archimedes did not recognize him.
“700 billion!” Archimedes continued to bid.
He also raised it by 100 billion.
Since the other party increased 100 billion, he could not lose.
Which one of the forces out there was richer than his family?
“800 billion!” David did not show any weakness.
“You!” Archimedes spat through gritted teeth.
He finally recognized David. A sinister glow shot out from his eyes, shooting straight at David.
This kid was the one who humiliated him in the tavern!
He was here again.
Combining his new and old grievances, Archimedes wanted so badly to tear David into pieces so that he would never make a comeback.
“It’s me.” David removed his disguise.
Since Archimedes recognized him, he should just admit it magnanimously.
“How do you want to die, kid?” Archimedes asked, a fire burning in his chest.
“You need to have the ability to kill me. I think you’re just a parasite. You’re riding roughshod over people because of your family. What would you be like if you didn’t have your family? You won’t even be qualified to kiss my shoe!” David answered disdainfully.
After he said that, everyone at the auction widened their eyes, their jaws also dropped to the floor.
‘W-Who is this kid?
‘He’s so bold!
‘What a savage.
‘How dare he scold the first-in-line heir of the Lightfoot family?
‘Is he not scared of retribution?
Judging from Archimedes’ character, how would he spare this kid after suffering such an insult?’
I am a quadrillionarire Chapter 1733--After David yelled at Archimedes, the people at the auction were excitedly waiting for Archimedes’
reaction.
Based on their understanding, as the first-in-line heir and the future head of the family, how would Archimedes stand being yelled at in front of so many people?
He would surely fight back with everything he could and make the person who yelled at him suffer the consequences.
He might even take action in this very auction. Once they started fighting, it would be very interesting. However, they were at Treasure Trove’s headquarters, so the staff would surely stop them.
To be honest, Valerio was prepared.
If Archimedes could not control himself and wanted to attack, as the host of the auction, Treasure Trove would not let this proceed.
If someone started fighting at the suction and hurt the other guests, Treasure Trove’s reputation would suffer if word got out.
Treasure Trove was going through an eventful period right now and its reputation was not as good as before, so they could not face such a situation.
David had thought about it clearly before he decided to yell at Archimedes.
Firstly, they were at Treasure Trove’s auction, so Treasure Trove would not allow Archimedes to do anything.
Of course, even if he did, David would not be scared of him.
Secondly, he wanted to trigger Archimedes so that he would aggressively increase the price. That way, David could get more lavish points.
David did not touch the God of Thunder Hammer, so even though the system detected the real identity of the hammer and knew that it was one of the top three Ancient Weapons, it did not appraise it.
Before this, no matter if it was the Nine Turning Star Iron, Stone of Life, or Exquisite Wine of Hundred Flowers and Fruits, the system would identify it correectly and appraise them after David touched them.
This time, the system detected the God of Thunder Hammer from a distance, but it forgot the most important thing-the appraisal.
David was depressed.
He wanted to touch the hammer so that the system would appraise it.
Since it was one of the top three Ancient Weapons, the lavish points he would get from this might be enough to help him get directly into Saint Realm.
However, he was not allowed to touch it now.
He could not walk on stage for no reason, right?
Moreover, nothing like this happened in the past. The host would not let the guests participating in the auction inspect the treasures themselves.
If not, everyone would want to do it. How would they continue with the auction then?
However, even if David knew the price of the hammer, it would be useless.
Even if the God of Thunder Hammer was worth one hundred trillion Star Dollars, he still needed someone to raise the price that high for him.
Even fools would know something was up with the God of Thunder Hammer if David raised the price from a few hundred billion to one hundred trillion directly.
Treasure Trove might not even let it go then.
If that happened, David would not get anything.
Since he could not know the real price of the hammer, David figured he should enrage Archimedes and force him to bid against himself.
It would be a good way to spend more money.
It would be even better if cost a huge premium.
Therefore, from the looks of it now, enraging Archimedes would bring him the most benefit.
I am a quadrillionarire Chapter 1734--Under everyone’s gaze, Archimedes finally spoke.
He was not as angry as everyone expected.
He asked calmly, “What’s your name?”
“I am who I am. Archimedes, listen closely, my name is David Lidell, and remember, this will be a name that will make you feel fear and despair,” David said arrogantly and despotically.
He looked exactly like a hedonist from a major force.
“David Lidell? Alright! I’ll remember you. However, it’s still too early to say who will make who feel fear and despair,” Archimedes suppressed the anger in his heart and snapped.
If he was not worried about letting down his seniors and affecting his plan of inheriting the family, Archimedes would have asked Bernard to kill David and make him experience what it was like to suffer a fate worse than death.
“Oh? Archimedes, how long has it been since we last met. Have you already forgotten what happened at the tavern? I guess I didn’t punish you enough. If I knew this would have happened, I would have crippled you so that you won’t make so much noise here and disturbed me.”
David said, looking a little disappointed.
When he said that, everyone at the scene was shocked.
Countless voices sounded.
“Damn, who is this? How is he so savage? He even said he wanted to cripple the first-in-line heir of the Lightfoot family. Isn’t he worried about the Lightfoot family’s retribution?”
“How despotic! I thought Master Archimedes was the most noble one among us. I didn’t expect there to be someone who’s not bothered by him hiding in the dark. This really broadened my horizon. My trip to the auction was worth it just to see this!”
“Didn’t you hear what he said? He said he regretted not crippling Master Archimedes, so it means this is not their first time meeting each other. Other than that, Master Archimedes suffered a huge blow the last time they met. What a savage! Master Archimedes is finally going to suffer today!”
“Since he can force Master Archimedes to this stage, I can only say four words, what a mad lad!”
“My friend, please accept my admiration. I admire you so much!”
“Do you think you can call him that? He’s a savage who isn’t even scared of the Lightfoot family. You can’t claim higher class connections with him.”
Everyone was talking among themselves, and the scene immediately became noisy.
As Archimedes heard that, the expression on his face became more and more unpleasant.
He wanted to chop David into pieces now.
Archimedes flew into another rage, and this time, it was more intense than the last.
He glared at David and spat through gritted teeth.
“David, you’re asking for it!”
When Archimedes was about to lose control, he felt a hand on his shoulder.
“Master, calm down. A little neglect may breed great mischief. It seems the other party knows you very well and he’s triggering you. He wants you to attack him so that the Fellowes family will cause trouble for us. If that happens, the seniors will be disappointed in you. That way, you might lose your position as the heir. Furthermore, we’re at Treasure Trove’s auction and he’s a guest, so the Fellowes family will not stand idly by and watch us attack him,” Bernard whispered.
“I know! Uncle Bernard, I will make him pay after this auction,” Archimedes tried his best to suppress his anger and said.
“You don’t need to say a word. I will take him down the second the auction ends. Then, I’ll hand him to you so that you can torture him however you want.”
Bernard’s words pulled Archimedes back from the brink of an outburst.
He had been living for so long and this was definitely the angriest, most indignant, and most humiliated he ever felt in his life.
If he did not tear David into pieces, he would never live this down.
So many people here were waiting for Archimedes to blow up.
In the end, he managed to control himself.
‘What’s going on?”
They did not understand.
As the first-in-line heir of the Lightfoot family, how could Archimedes endure getting humiliated by a young kid in front of so many people?
‘Is this a joke?
‘Or is Master Archimedes scared of who David is?
‘Is that why he only dares to yell back but not take action?”
I am a quadrillionarire Chapter 1735--David was amused when he saw how much Archimedes wanted to kill him and how his expression looked as if his parents had died.
If looks could kill, Archimedes might have already killed him multiple times.
Archimedes still had no idea David killed Cornelius.
What would he think if he knew?
Archimedes was seething but he was not doing anything.
Therefore, David knew he was right.
Archimedes would not do anything in this auction.
‘Yes, your family owns Splendor, one of the top five trading companies in the Central Sacred Continent, but the Fellowes family is not weak either.
‘Treasure Trove is also one of the top five trading companies.
‘As the saying goes, people in the same industries are enemies.
‘So, the Fellowes and Lightfoot families would not have a good relationship.
‘They’re being very kind by letting you come to the auction. If you dare to make trouble here, you will have to suffer the Fellowes family’s wrath.
‘Archimedes, you’re just an heir, not the head of the family.
‘So, you will also suffer if the Fellowes family strikes down on you.
‘Perhaps you will even lose your right as an heir.
‘After all, you can’t see the bigger picture, so how would your family let you take over the family?
‘If this is just a small auction, you would have asked the late Sovereign Ranker beside you to kill me by
now.
‘If that had happened, I would have just fought back.
‘Unfortunately, this is not the place.’
Now that David had successfully angered Archimedes, he was waiting to see how the guy would retaliate against him.
‘I hope he’ll raise the price of the God of Thunder Hammer.’
“Archimedes, stop yakking if you don’t dare to do anything. The auction hasn’t ended yet. Name your price. If not, I’ll take the hammer away,” David said loudly.
Despite saying so many things to anger Archimedes, David’s real goal was still to make Archimedes bid against him for the Hammer of Thunder.
“David, I’ll let you be arrogant for a while more. Just you wait. You will cry later, and I hope you won’t kneel and beg for mercy then.”
“Stop bullsh*tting. Are you naming your price or not? If you’re not, Miss Fellowes, you can announce that the Hammer of Thunder now belongs to me. I like the hammer a lot.”
“You want the hammer, huh? Don’t even think about it now that I’m here. I am determined to have that
hammer.”
“Oh yeah? Name your price then! Stop f*cking bullsh*tting. Anyone who names the highest price will get the hammer. I have the highest price now. 800 billion Star Dollars.”
“You’re comparing your wealth to mine? Are you stupid?” Archimedes mocked.
“Let’s not talk about that. Name your price! Why are you like a woman?” David was a little frustrated.
He did not expect a man like Archimedes to be so long-winded.
The Lightfoot family and the Fellowes family were in the same industry, so they were at odds with each other.
Naturally, Alba would not want the God of Thunder Hammer to go to Archimedes.
However, if Alba recognized David and announced that time was up to help him, what would David do?
All of his efforts would have been in vain.
800 billion Star Dollars was only 8000 lavish points.
In addition to the 3000 lavish points from before, there would only have 11000 lavish points.
It was not even close to his goal.
David kept urging Archimedes to name his price, confusing the people watching them.
‘What’s going on?’
‘He angered Archimedes and asked him to bid against him for the hammer.
‘Does he have too much money?’
Everyone knew that both parties would surely want to win at this moment.
Therefore, the price would definitely skyrocket.
In the end, it would surpass the real value of the treasure.
Even though they did not know what was going on, they were still waiting to see what would happen.
“1 trillion!” Archimedes finally names a price.
This was 200 billion more than David’s 800 billion. The hammer was now at a sky-high price of 1 trillion.
David was overjoyed.
He yelled internally, ‘My brother, you finally named your price! Thank you! I will make sure to lessen your suffering when I kill you. I will make sure to finish the job with one slash of my sword.’
Since Archimedes had added 200 billion to his price, David would not fall behind.
“1.2 trillion!” David yelled out another price. He also added 200 billion. After he said that, Archimedes yelled out another price. “1.5 trillion!”
I am a quadrillionarire Chapter 1736--Archimedes had never lost when it came to competing in wealth.
Since he suffered such a defeat in front of David, he had to retaliate. Hence, he increased the price by
another 300 billion.
“1.7 trillion!” David gritted his teeth and yelled.
Even though he pretended to be mad, he was overjoyed on the inside.
‘Yes, baby That’s it. You have to persevere. Don’t back out. Anyone who backs out is a coward.’
David wanted to call out 2 trillion, but he gave up that thought afterward.
He could only get more benefits with a long-term plan.
If he stunned Archimedes too quickly, it would be over if Archimedes decided to give up.
“2 trillion!” Archimedes called out casually.
His expression contrasted David’s.
David was gritting his teeth in anger, while Archimedes looked indifferent.
Archimedes felt a little better when he saw David like that.
However, this was not enough.
No matter what, he had to torture David before killing him.
He would only feel better that way.
“2.2 trillion!”
“2.5 trillion!”
“2.7 trillion!”
“”3 trillion!”
“4.2 trillion!”
“4.5 trillion!”
“4.7 trillion!”
“5 trillion!”
The two were bidding against each other.
They raised the base price of the Hammer of Thunder from 50 billion to a sky-high price of 5 trillion. It was a hundred times increase.
Everyone at the scene was beyond shocked. It was as if they were not even spending money.
‘Who the hell bids like this at an auction?
‘They even increase their price by 200 or 300 billion at one go.
‘Is this how direct descendants of major forces bid?
‘How imposing.
‘I truly can’t understand the world of the rich.”
They had not even heard of this, let alone seen what was taking place in front of them.
However, a Soulbound Weapon did not have a fixed price.
If it was suitable, it would still be worthwhile no matter how much it cost.
However, if it was not, one could not use it to its full potential even if one held it in their hand.
For example, David used a sword and he also learned the sword technique.
Therefore, it would be hard for him to bring out the weapon’s full potential if he was given a knife or an ax.
Only the weapons suitable for him would work best.
Of course, if it was suitable for him, the higher the level of the Soulbound Weapon, the better.
Alba was also a little stunned on the stage.
‘How long has it been, and the price has already come to 5 trillion?
‘How incredible!’
If this was a normal bidding process, Treasure Trove estimated the price of the Hammer of Thunder to be around 2 to 3 trillion. Now, it had reached 5 trillion.
Moreover, it seemed like it would not stop soon.
No one knew what the final price would be.
Alba was not worried that the two would not afford it.
One was the disciple of a Sacred Saint, while one was the young master of Splendor and also the future head of the Lightfoot family.
They did not lack money.
Alba wanted David to not be able to afford it so that he would owe her family a favor.
If that were the case, just this bid alone would be a huge success.
I am a quadrillionarire Chapter 1737--Archimedes was the one who called out 5 trillion.
This price was almost at 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 forces in Star Kingdom.
However, it would not give so much funds to its direct descendants to have fun.
There were rules concerning how much money a direct descendant could use.
This was related to their status, ability, and how much they contributed to the family.
Archimedes was the first–in–line heir of the 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 could use more funds compared to the other direct descendants.
However, he had spent a part of it over the years, so he did not have much left.
This was unless he could go from partial Sovereign Rank to Sovereign Rank, or make a huge contribution to the family. If not, his funds would 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 David’s purpose for coming to this auction.
He could already upgrade to partial Saint Realm.
It all depended on if Archimedes could give him another push.
If he could increase the price to 10 trillion and above, David would become a Saint directly.
If that were the case, David would have to thank Archimedes and all of his ancestors.
David pretended to stay silent for a while for the sake of his grand plan of breaking through to Saint Realm.
He had a troubled look on his face to make Archimedes think he might not continue anymore.
That way, he could lure Archimedes to continue bidding.
“David, what’s wrong? You can’t continue anymore? Weren’t you very arrogant and bad*ss just now? Say something! Continue bidding! It’s just 5 trillion! It’s barely enough! You can’t handle it anymore, huh? You look so constipated, how embarrassing,” Archimedes said happily when he saw David’s troubled look.
Even though he was about to exceed his limit and was like an arrow at the end of its flight, Archimedes could not show any weakness.
He had to turn things around before considering other things.
Furthermore, aside from the people from the top five trading companies, who would dare to compete for wealth with him? If they did, they would be courting death.
David took a deep breath and said through gritted teeth, “Archimedes, don’t be too proud of yourself. I won’t allow you to act so arrogantly in front of me even if I go bankrupt.”
David roared, “5.5 trillion!”
He increased another 500 billion on top of Archimedes‘ price. Once again, shocking everyone into dropping their jaws.
Everyone had only one thought in their heads.
‘These two have gone f*cking crazy.
‘They’ve been blinded by rage and have lost their minds!
‘He added 500 billion at one go!
‘This is not how you compete!
‘They’re completely disrespecting money!
‘I wonder if they’ll feel remorse when they come back to their senses.‘
Even though Archimedes looked calm on the surface, he had started to curse on the inside.
‘Where did this kid come from?
‘Why haven’t I heard about him before?
‘Not only is he a Sovereign Ranker, but he can also spend as much money as me.
‘I am the first–in–line heir of the Lightfoot family.
‘Who else is richer than me aside from the six top forces in Star Kingdom and the other direct descendants of the other four trading companies?
‘I don’t think there’s a Lidell among these forces.
‘What the actual hell?
‘Nothing is going to my plan after I came out this time.” Archimedes started to feel remorse
I am a quadrillionarire Chapter 1738--If he known this would happen, he would stay there and only come out after he broke through to Sovereign Rank.
He would have avoided all of this if he did.
However, at this moment, Archimedes was put on the spot.
So many people were watching. If he admitted defeat now, he would be so embarrassed.
When he was about to continue the bidding, Bernard whispered in his ear next to him, “Master, calm down. You don’t have a lot of funds left. Also, it won’t increase before you break through to Sovereign Rank. If you spend everything in one go, it will be difficult.”
Bernard knew his master wanted to beat David, so he did not say anything back then.
However, as things got out of hand, he had to say something.
If he allowed his master to continue, this might not end well.
A mid–level Soulbound Weapon had been raised to a sky–high price of 5 trillion. This was too much.
It was not worth it at all.
Furthermore, they did not have enough funds.
“Uncle Bernard, you’ve been with me for so many years. Do you think I can calm down in this situation? I promised I won’t attack David at the auction. If you stop me again, I will request a new protector once we go back,” Archimedes said without any expression on his face.
“Master, I’m only telling you the facts, I’m not planning to stop you. If you still decide to bid after weighing the pros and cons, I will surely respect your decision. Plus, so what if David gets the Hammer of Thunder? It will still go to us at the end of the day. We won’t need to spend a single cent that way,” Bernard said, neither obsequious nor supercilious.
“Bernard, I don’t think you know me at all. Do you think I’m doing this for the hammer? I am doing this for the face of the first–in–line heir of the Lightfoot family. If I admit defeat, how will people view me? Do you think I can still show my face out there?”
“Since you’ve decided, I won’t say more.”
“Uncle Bernard, I have to win him no matter what. If not, I won’t be able to concentrate and it’ll be harder for me to have a breakthrough. As long as I beat him once, I will feel better. If I spend all of my money, I will go back into seclusion again and not come out until I become a Sovereign Ranker.”
While the two were speaking, David started to hoot again.
He was worried that Archimedes would stop bidding.
That would be such a letdown.
“Hey, Archimedes, are you backing out now? Weren’t you such a bad*ss just now?”
After he said that, Archimedes roared, “6 trillion!”
David was ecstatic.
Then, he followed. “6.5 trillion!”
“7 trillion!”
Archimedes‘ tone started to change.
7 trillion Star Dollars was his limit.
He could only think of another solution if he increased the price.
However, Archimedes did not plan to stop.
If he did not defeat David once and avenge himself, he might be traumatized and unable to have a breakthrough in the future.
As the first–in–line heir of the Lightfoot family, it would be pretty easy for him to get money.
“7.5 trillion!” David pretended to yell through gritted teeth.
“8 trillion!”
‘My gosh! These two have gone mad!‘
The people around them were so numb they did not know what to say.
This would never have happened in a million years.
How much was 8 trillion Star Dollars?
80% of the guests of this auction could not take out so much money even if they went bankrupt.
One had to know that these people at the auction were the most elite among Treasure Trove’s clients.
In the end, two young people threw in 8 trillion just because they were competitive and acted in a fit of anger.
This changed everyone’s worldview.
I am a quadrillionarire Chapter 1739--“Archimedes, I told you that even if I go bankrupt and get scolded by my master, I won’t allow you to act so arrogantly in front of me. Do you think you’re safe if you ask for 8 trillion? I’m sorry, I’m going to ask for 9 trillion. I don’t believe you’ll still dare to continue bidding. Your family is loaded, but you’re not the head of the family yet. You’re just an heir so you won’t be able to use so much money,” David looked at Archimedes and yelled.
He looked as if he was throwing caution in the wind and was determined to fight to the end with Archimedes.
‘9 trillion!‘
Archimedes was stunned.
He thought he was mad, but he did not expect to meet someone madder than him.
David was willing to spend 9 trillion for a mid–level Soulbound Weapon just because he was acting in a fit of rage.
In the end, he even added 1 trillion directly to the price.
This should be David’s limit, judging from his face.
If Archimedes continued, David would surely stop.
However, it would not be easy.
If Archimedes added only 100 billion, his image would still be tarnished even if he got the Hammer of Thunder.
After all, David added 1 trillion at once, and he only added 100 billion.
However, if he added 1 trillion, that would be 10 trillion Star Dollars.
10 trillion!
Even as the first–in–line heir of the Lightfoot family, Archimedes could not take out so much money. He still needed to come up with a plan and make up for it with favors.
If he did not have that conflict with David at the tavern, Archimedes would think that Treasure Trove sent David here to raise the price.
‘What should I do now?
‘Should I continue?
‘Should I continue to fight?
‘If I don’t, I won’t be able to show my face.
‘If I do, I will have to spend the rest of my life in seclusion and only come out when I’m at Sovereign Rank.‘
Archimedes could not decide.
To be honest, only idiots would spend 10 trillion to buy a mid–level Soulbound Weapon.
David was very nervous.
He kept repeating in his heart, ‘Go on!
‘My friend, my brother, daddy! Please! Call out a f*cking price!
‘Just once.‘
As long as Archimedes raised the price to 10 trillion, David would raise it to 11 trillion.
In addition to the 300 billion just now, he would have spent 11.3 trillion Star Dollars today, which was equivalent to 11300 lavish points.
If he spent 13000 lavish points, he could raise his mind power to Sovereign level 10.
With his Body and Mind at level 10, David’s combat power would be at partial Saint Rank.
With the remaining 10000 lavish points, he could increase his Body again.
After making his Body Sovereign level 10, he could break through to Saint level 1.
That way, David’s combat power would be at beginner Saint Realm.
When the time came, David would not be so helpless facing Nek, the beginner Saint.
He might even defeat Nek with the help of his Evil-Splitting Sword and mind power.
He could get to Saint Realm so easily!
Now, it all depended on Archimedes‘ decision.
If he could not get enough lavish points to break through to Saint Realm, he would still need more time.
He could only wait for Alba to develop the trading company so that he could spend another trillion Star Dollars.
The longer he waited, the more dangers he would encounter.
As he looked at Archimedes‘ hesitating eyes, David knew he was undergoing a fierce debate with himself. He had to add fuel to the fire.
I am a quadrillionarire Chapter 1740--If not, his Saint Realm dream would go down the drain.
“Haha, time’s up. Miss Fellowes, tell everyone who the Hammer of Thunder will go to now! Archimedes is a coward. He doesn’t dare to bid anymore. I was right just now. He’s just an heir, how could he have so much money? The Lightfoot family is rich, but it’s their money. Archimedes can’t 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 will never walk out of it, haha!”
After David said that, he chortled.
He seemed to feel joyful beating Archimedes.
Archimedes was still hesitating, but when he heard what David said and his ear–piercing chortle, it felt as if he had been smashed across the head.
Archimedes was seeing stars.
‘No! I can’t let that punk step all over me!
‘I can’t lose no matter how big the price is!‘
Before he could think clearly, Archimedes yelled out another price.
“10 trillion!”
Just like David, he added another 1 trillion.
At this moment, David wanted to cry.
He finally felt at ease.
Archimedes was such a good boy.
If he did not come to this auction, David would only get enough lavish points to break through to partial Saint Realm.
Now, he had enough to be a Saint.
At this moment, David wanted to yell, ‘Saint Realm, here I come!‘
However, it was not the time.
After all, this was not over and he still had not obtained the lavish points.
“Archimedes, you’re too inexperienced if you want to defeat me. 11 trillion!” David wiped the grin off his face and said seriously.
“12 tri-…” Archimedes did not even think before calling out.
However, Bernard stopped him.
“Master Archi, enough!”
He could not allow this to continue anymore.
Clearly, the other party could still go on.
If they continued, the final price would be at least above 15 trillion or even 20 trillion.
Only a fool would spend a sky–high price like 15 trillion to buy a 1 or 2 trillion–valuation mid–level Soulbound Weapon.
It was not worth it even if it was for retaliation.
Besides, they could not afford it.
If the Fellowes family came to ask for money, they would have to ask the family for help.
This behavior would also make the seniors upset with Master Archimedes.
Whenever a direct descendant caused trouble outside and could not solve it, it would make them look bad if they asked their family to clean up their mess for them.
This would also affect who would get the position of the future head of the family.
There were three other heirs aside from Archimedes and Cornelius.
Aside from that, there were also more than ten potential heirs eying that spot.
Thus, any mistakes or dirt would be maximized.
Usually, the head of a family would not be the strongest person.
Instead, it would be the one who could coordinate and focus on the overall situation and led the family to glory.
Of course, their strength also played a part, but it was not the most important aspect.
Back then, Archimedes excelled in all aspects, and he was also the most cunning.
However, he went mad after what he encountered today.
That was why he kept trying to ignore the overall situation.
“Uncle Bernard, leave me alone. I want to let that kid know that there is no way in hell that he’ll beat me!”
“Master, you’ve been blinded by rage. Let’s go.”
“No, I won’t…”
Before he could finish, Bernard chopped down on the nape of Archimedes‘ neck, causing him to pass out.
