Chapter 1716
Her words reminded most of the people at the scene, especially the Sovereign Rankers.
They were all in a hurry to leave this place, so they never thought about that.
Why could they leave this place alive?
It was not because Archimedes was kind. Rather, it was because he was not strong enough.
Would Archimedes kill everyone here silently after he went back to his family and got enough power?
Dead men tell no tales.
It was not only possible that Archimedes would do that, but the chances of him doing so was very high.
If everyone left without sharing their contact details, it would be easy for Archimedes to kill them in secret.
It would not be the same if they had each other’s contacts.
Once Archimedes did something, they could contact each other and then let the word out.
If Archimedes knew about this, he would surely not dare to do anything for the sake of his and his family’s reputation.
This was the best way to stop Archimedes.
Angelica’s words helped everyone here greatly.
Of course, she was also helping herself.
‘Sweetheart, what’s your name? Where did you come from?” One of the old mid-Sovereign Rankers asked.
“Old Sir, my name is Angelica Dolce and I’m from the Heavenly Sect,” Angelica answered.
“The Heavenly Sect? You mean the one from West Sand Galaxy?” The old man pondered and asked.
“Yes! Do you know about the Heavenly Sect?”
“Of course! I passed by that place and heard about you people.”
“If you pass by West Sand next time, you have to go visit the Heavenly Sect,” Angelica invited.
“Since you’ve invited me, I will surely go if I have time.”
“It’s a deal then!”
“It’s a deal!”
“Miss Angelica, I will also go visit the Heavenly Sect if I have the chance. Will you welcome me?” A burly middle-aged beginner Sovereign Rank asked.
“Of course! Please drop by!” Angelica giggled and answered.
“Alright! It’s a deal. I will surely go visit the Heavenly Sect. I want to see what family raised such a sweet little girl like you,” the burly man guffawed.
Aside from the people who argued with Louie just now, everyone else stated that they wanted. to go visit the Heavenly Sect if they had the chance.
Angelica immediately became everyone’s favorite.
What she said just now was too useful to everyone. It was no exaggeration to say that it might have saved everyone’s life.
This made everyone more fond of her.
The two old beginner Sovereign Rankers raised their thumbs at Angelica.
After exchanging some pleasantries and their contacts, everyone left.
As for why they did so, everyone was keenly aware
Chapter 1717
Archimedes was waiting for Bernard in a secluded corner not far away from the tavern.
They did not go far after they left. Instead, Archimedes sent Bernard back to snoop around to see what the people would say.
Archimedes did indeed plan to kill them one by one after this.
He would never rest assured if they did not die. It did not matter how high his achievements were or how powerful he became.
Everyone who saw him wet his pants was like nails bolted into Archimedes’ heart.
---------Ads----------
---------------------------------------
He would not be able to eat or sleep without worries.
He could only do whatever he wanted to do without worries after he got rid of all those nails.
However, the pretext was that he could not let those guys leak what happened today before. they died.
He had to make sure they kept their mouths shut and then slowly got rid of them.
Bernard was a late Sovereign Ranker, so no one would notice if he went back quietly.
Even the two mid-Sovereign Rankers did not notice.
Even though they were only a small rank below Bernard, Bernard had mind power while their mind powers were still at the nurturing stage.
Both parties’ perception was also miles apart.
Archimedes did not wait long before Bernard came back.
“How is it, Uncle Bernard? What did they say?” Archimedes asked.
“Don’t worry, Master Archi. The family is powerful, so we’re still very intimidating. After we left, they all said they won’t speak a word of what happened today and they would keep this a secret forever,” Bernard answered.
“That’s good. This is just as I expected. They will never dare to expose this even if I give them. all the courage in the world. If not, I will wipe out their entire bloodline,” Archimedes nodded. and answered.
He was happy with this result.
He remembered the faces of everyone at the scene.
Now, he would wait until he went back to use his family’s huge network to find out everyone’s identity. Then, he would make them disappear from this world in secret.
“But Master Archi, something happened before they left,” Bernard continued.
“What is it?” Archimedes asked quickly.
For some reason, he had a bad feeling.
What Uncle Bernard said later might affect his next plan.
“Everyone promised they wouldn’t say anything about what happened today, but when they
were about to leave, a girl named Angelica Dolce asked them all to exchange contact information so she could contact them. Everyone agreed and they left only after exchanging contacts.”
“What? Those scumbags exchanged contacts?” Archimedes questioned angrily.
“Yes. They wouldn’t do that at first, but it’s all because of that Angelica brat that they did it in the end,” Bernard answered.
He had been with Archimedes for so long and he could say that he raised Archimedes.
Therefore, he knew Archimedes very well.
He would surely want to kill all witnesses so that he could rest assured.
Even if everyone died, Bernard had a feeling that one day in the future, Master Archi would. also kill him once his strength surpassed him.
After all, Bernard was also one of the witnesses.
In Bernard’s opinion, Archimedes was a very selfish and ruthless person.
He had the potential to be a formidable hero, but he was not a good master.
Of course, this was only Bernard’s opinion, and it was not absolute.
For now, Archimedes still respected him.
“This is all Angelica Dolce’s fault?” Archimedes asked with gritted teeth.
“Yes. If it weren’t for her, they wouldn’t have exchanged contacts,” Bernard answered affirmatively,
Chapter 1718
“Do you know who Angelica Dolce is?”
“She’s from the Heavenly Sect from West Sand, and I think she has a pretty high status in her sect.”
‘Angelica Dolce of the Heavenly Sect!”
Archimedes remembered those names,
At the same time, he was even more enraged.
He might have to change his plan.
He wanted to kill those people one by one, but it seemed that his plan would not work now.
If someone got wind of this and spread the news, he would be at a disadvantage.
He should get rid of all of them in one go so that he could keep the secret.
It seemed that he needed to go back and plan this well.
If he needed so many people to disappear at once, including nearly ten beginner Sovereign Rankers and two mid-Sovereign Rankers, he might have to mobilize his family’s hidden power.
“Uncle Bernard, let’s go. It’s time to go to Treasure Trove’s auction.”
“Yes, Master Archi.”
The two left the corner one after another and headed to the auction venue.
David sat on his seat and waited for the auction to start silently.
Every invitation card was printed with a seat number.
One had to register after they entered the auction. Then, they would sit according to their seat numbers.
At this moment, David disguised himself slightly so that people would not recognize him.
It would be very troublesome if Archimedes saw him later.
As long as he managed to get through this auction, he would not be scared of Archimedes and the late Sovereign Ranker next to him anymore.
The guests started arriving one after another before sitting down in their designated seats.
The auction would start in half an hour, but two-thirds of the seats were already filled.
David’s seat was not too good or too bad, being right in the middle.
He was now surrounded, but since the seats were some distance apart and every seat had its own independent space, so it was not very crowded.
Half an hour passed by quickly.
Everyone with an invitation card had arrived.

It had been so long since Treasure Trove did something as big as this. According to sources, they had also taken out a lot of their precious treasures as well.
There would be all kinds of treasures of heaven and earth as well as Soulbound Weapons for sale
Therefore, no one would miss this.
Furthermore, Treasure Trove was one of the top five trading companies in the Central Sacred Continent, so the guests would show some respect for this event.
Archimedes and Bernard arrived at the auction as well. However, their seats were in front.
The invitation card Archimedes got was sent to the person in charge of West End’s Splendor.
When the time arrived, an old man with white hair and a ruddy complexion walked onto the stage.
It was the head of Treasure Trove, Valerio Fellowes.
One could tell how important this auction was to Treasure Trove.
Even the head was here.
Nothing like this had happened in the past. At most, the deputy head would show up to say a few words.
Valerio was very famous throughout the entire Central Sacred Continent.
Not only because he was the core of the Fellowes family and the head of Treasure Trove, but it was also because he was a partial Saint.
Chapter 1719
“Is that the head of Treasure Trove, Valerio?”
“That’s him! I had the honor of meeting him once. That’s Mr. Valerio!”
“I didn’t expect him to come in person. It seems that Treasure Trove values this auction a lot. They will surely sacrifice a lot and take out a lot of their treasures to make it a success.”
“Of course! I expected that. Since Treasure Trove planned this auction for so long, I’m sure they will do something big. From the looks of it now, I’m right.”
“I will get myself a Soulbound Weapon to increase my combat power even if I go bankrupt today.”
“I don’t want a Soulbound Weapon. I only want a treasure of heaven and earth that can help me break through. I wonder if I will have the chance to get one.”
“Are you planning to break through soon, my friend?”
“Yeah. I have a feeling I’m not far off now.”
“Congratulations!”
“Thank you!”
The scene was in an uproar when Valerio went on stage.
They were all shocked by his presence.
It was just an auction, but they summoned the head of Treasure Trove and a partial Saint.
This shocked a lot of people at the scene.
David looked at Valerio on stage and narrowed his eyes.
This man was very powerful and David was not his opponent.
With just one glance, he knew he could not defeat this person on stage.
Even if he used all of his power along with his mind power and Evil-Splitting Sword.
He estimated that if he started a fight with the man on stage, he would not be able to escape.
Dadvi felt an energy in this man that was suppressing him.
David also felt this energy from Nek.
‘Is that a Saint?’
However, David figured that was not the case.
This was because the energy coming from the person on stage was much lower than Nek’s.
If he were to compare the two, it would be like comparing a river and an ocean.
Nek was a Pre-Saint who had just broke through Saint Realm.
So, this person might not be a Saint
He could only be a partial Saint.
Was the energy emanating from him the so-called Saint Power?
David did not know much about Saint Power.
He only knew this was a power he would get after he became a partial Saint.
Anyone with Saint Power would have a natural suppression toward anyone without Saint Power.
It was just like when a tiger, the king of the jungle, met a monkey.
Their lives were not on the same level.
After Valerio went on stage, he put up his hands to tell everyone to keep quiet.
The noisy scene immediately plunged into silence.
This was the deterrence of a partial Saint.
Even Archimedes, the first-in-line heir of the Lightfoot family, did not dare to disrespect Valerio, the head of the Treasure Trove and a partial Saint.
“Greetings, my distinguished guests. I am Valerio Fellowes, the head of Treasure Trove. I believe a lot of you know me. Welcome to the auction.
“In recent years, the outside world had heard a lot of detrimental rumors about Treasure Trove, causing our reputation to plummet. A lot of our old clients did not want to get affected, so they chose to stop working with us. We can understand all that, but today, I will tell you all that those rumors are fake and baseless.
“Treasure Trove will show our sincerity during the auction this time. I hope everyone can get the item they desire and start trusting us again…”
Valerio said a lot of things.
David felt this was the same as when he was on campus on Earth. The chancellor would ramble on for ages during assemblies.
He would also go on and on forever.
How would David be in the mood to listen to those?
Chapter 1720
‘Start the auction now!’
A few minutes later…
“I’ve said too much today, so please forgive me. I know you can’t wait, so let’s start the auction now!”
Valerio got off the stage after his speech.
Then, a veiled woman walked on stage. Even though her face was obscured, she had curves in all the right places. She was tall and had an amazing figure.
David was stunned.
‘Isn’t that Miss Alba Fellowes?
‘No wonder there’s been no news from her recently.
‘It seems that she was busy preparing for the auction.”
“Hello, my name is Alba Fellowes and I’ll be hosting the auction today. I hope you all can get the item you desire.”
After Alba said that, everyone started talking again.
“Damn, isn’t that Miss Alba Fellowes, the one with the looks and the skills? Why is she wearing a veil? I remember that she didn’t wear one before.”
“I know about this. I heard after she got engaged to her fiancé, her fiancé’s family requested her to wear one because she’s too beautiful.”
“Miss Fellowes is engaged? When? Why haven’t I heard about it? Who’s her fiancé? How dare he ask Miss Fellowes to put on a veil? He’s stripping us from our right to appreciate the view!”
“So what if you find out his identity? Will you have the guts to fight back? You will wet your pants if I tell you who her fiancé is.”
Archimedes heard the last sentence.
His face turned pale and dark simultaneously. He looked so malevolent that it was scary.
‘Wet his pants?’
Not long ago, he just wet his pants because of an unknown brat.
When Archimedes heard that, he felt as if those people were mocking him.
However, there were so many people at the scene that he could not do anything.
“I’ll wet my pants? You must be joking. I’m not scared of you.”
“Listen closely then. Miss Fellowes’ fiancé is Mr. Anders Palmore from the Palmore family. At the same time, he’s also the first in line heir of the Palmore family and the future head of the family. How’s that? Is he prestigious enough?”
“M-Mr. Anders P-Palmore?”
The guy who looked disdainful just now was shaking from fear after hearing that name.
The Palmor family was one of the six top forces of Star Kingdom.
Who did not know or had not heard of him?
The first-in-line heir of a force like this would have a high status. He was possibly even among the top- ranked in Star Kingdom.
When Archimedes heard Anders’ name, he would be lying if he said he was not jealous.
Even though his status was not low, he was still miles apart from Anders.
To put it bluntly, if he told everyone at the tavern he was Anders, they would not be shocked. Instead, they would be shivering from fright like that person just now.
Moreover, that kid would not dare to attack him.
When could he become like Anders?
When could he suppress everyone with just his name?
This was Archimedes’ ultimate goal.
“Settle down, everyone. Now, we will start the auction. First, we’ll ask the staff of Treasure Trove to take out the first treasure.”
After Alba said that, a beautiful woman in a red dress walked on the stage with a wooden tray.
There was a red cloth covering the tray.
The thing under the cloth must be the first item today.
After the woman walked to Alba’s side, she stood there quietly.
