The players were in a frenzy.

All their attention had initially been focused on the auction of the final legendary equipment.

But at this moment, the ownership of this equipment no longer mattered.

All eyes were on John in astonishment, filled with fear.

John, standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of a suite that wasn't his, hands clasped behind his back.

From high above, he surveyed all life.

"Miss Isabella, you may continue..."

John's calm voice was like a divine whisper in the ears of everyone.

The players bowed their heads, one after another.

They dared not look straight at the mysterious expert who had just made an astonishing and appalling move.

Isabella was also stunned at this moment.

She had just found time to check the auction house backend.

The defensive barrier set up at the door of each suite had not been activated.

That is to say, John used an unpredictable method.

He directly bypassed the barrier at the suite door, stormed in, and killed Kingserp, the guild leader of Dawn Guild, and several experts with one move.

In the end, he even withstood three punishment lightning strikes from the system, still completely unharmed.

Oh my god, can a human really do this?

Isabella shook her little head frantically.

But the shocking scene just now had been deeply imprinted in the deepest part of her heart.

Not only were the ordinary players on the first floor making a commotion.

The other major forces in the suites on the second floor were also in an eerie silence.

Adam quietly sent Blue Sea a message: Brother Blue, you must introduce me to Galewind after the auction. It would be a great honor for Adam to meet a top expert like him.

Blue Sea: Could it be, Adam, do you have plans to recruit Galewind?

Adam sent a bitter smile emoji: Are you joking? How can such a powerhouse be casually recruited by me? I just want to make friends with Galewind...

Blue Sea shook his head with a light laugh.

The shock in the depths of his eyes had not faded for a long time.

He had never doubted Galewind's strength, knowing that Galewind had a great encounter in the game Godslayer, and his strength far surpassed other players.

But he never expected that Galewind could actually ignore the system rules, withstand the system's punitive lightning and come out unscathed.

How terrifying would it be to achieve this?

...

In the suite where the Silent Ones Guild was located.

Chillminder was also messaging Snowla: Snowla, guild leader, who on earth is this friend of yours?

Snowla replied nonchalantly: How about that? Isn't the man I fancy amazing?

Chillminder sincerely nodded his head.

It wasn't just amazing, it was freakishly unhuman.

Kingserp's strength was not weaker than his own, in some aspects, it was even stronger.

But in the face of this mysterious powerhouse, John, there was no power to fight back.

With this level of strength, even if the guild leaders of the top ten guilds worldwide teamed up to fight him, they probably couldn't make much of a splash.

Chillminder immediately declared: Snowla guild leader... oh no, my dearest Sister Snowla , when can you coax Brother Galewind into your bed and make him our beloved brother-in-law?

Snowla was immediately embarrassed and replied with just one word: Scram!

...

In the suite where the Shadowrealm Guild was located.

The guild leader Karthus, who had been domineering just a while ago.

He had quietly moved away from the floor-to-ceiling window at some point.

He was now huddled on the couch, shivering with fear.

Kingserp was his ally, so he was all too aware of the guy's level of strength.

In the entire game of Godslayer, Kingserp was at least in the top ten among all the advanced players in terms of power.

Yet, he was easily crushed to death as if he was a mere chick.

How could Karthus not be terrified?

Thinking back to the cold stare John gave him after he crushed Kingserp to death,

Karthus felt a chill run down his spine.

For such a powerhouse, killing him probably wouldn't be too difficult, right?

...

In the suite where the Travelers were located.

Bambooist's red lips slightly parted, her mesmerizing, long autumn eyes filled with astonishment.

After a long time, this mysterious Travelers guild leader let out a sigh for no apparent reason: 

"What a loss..."

...

John's gaze swept across the entire auction hall.

Everywhere he looked, players bowed their heads to avoid him.

They dared not look straight at him.

John noticed a few malicious looks in the crowd.

But he didn't care in the slightest.

After this battle, those who wanted to continue to target him,

Would probably have to reconsider their own weight.

Darklord and SoulSong hid their bodies in the crowd.

Both looked at each other, finding unerasable fear in each other's eyes.

Is this really Galewind?

SoulSong struggled to accept the scene he had just witnessed.

Darklord, like he was possessed, mumbled to himself, "Damn it, why can he show off his power in this situation? It should be me who does this, damn it!"

"No matter what, I must win the last piece of the legendary equipment. Only by arming myself quickly can I dominate the game."

"Galewind, you just wait..."

Without any hesitation, Darklord sent a message to his subordinates.

Requesting them to immediately sell his remaining shares in his father's company.

And gather the funds in place.

His subordinates quickly replied.

The buyer from last time is still interested in buying these shares, asking Darklord if he agrees to the transaction.

Without any hesitation, Darklord gave his consent.

At the same time, John opened his own transaction channel.

"Mr. Foster, the company you asked me to keep an eye on is selling shares again. Do you want to continue buying?"

John's mouth curled slightly, replying, "Buy, but this time we need to push the price to the lowest."

The manager who accepted the commission said, "No problem, the guy is selling 20% of the shares, and I am confident that I can push the price down to no more than 35 million."

John casually said, "Get it down to 30 million. If you can make the deal, the extra 5 million will be your commission."

In the real world, the manager who accepted the commission was nearly delirious with joy.

He was merely showing up as an agent.

And he could get a commission of 5 million.

Isn't this like manna from heaven?

"What, they want to buy 20% of my shares for 30 million?" 

Darklord was both shocked and angered when he heard the reply from his subordinates, "They must be dreaming, those shares are worth at least 40 million!"

His subordinate responded somewhat helplessly, "There's no helping it, this is how businesspeople are, knowing that we're desperate to cash out, they're driving a hard bargain."

Darklord thought for a moment, then gritted his teeth, "Sell it! After all, those shares are of no use to me. As long as I can become the top player in this game, I can get as much money as I want later on!"

The stock transaction in the real world was completed quickly.

At this point, John had quietly acquired 30% of the shares in Darklord's father's company.

Becoming the second-largest shareholder in the company, second only to Darklord's father.

And Darklord had no idea about all of this.

He was now completely blinded by greed, with only one thought in mind.

That is, he must win the last Legendary Weapon - Serpent King's Blade.

A shocking interlude soon subsided.

Isabella on stage calmed herself down, then said, "Sorry for the interruption, the auction will continue now."

"The bidding for the Serpent King's Blade restarts, the starting price is 20 million, each increase cannot be less than 5 million."

Isabella's icy voice finally pulled the players back from their astonishment.

The atmosphere heated up again.

Players looked at the "Serpent King's Blade" in the box, their eyes growing hotter.

What John had done earlier made these people realize the extent to which a truly powerful top player can go in this game.

They were eager to strengthen their own power.

"25 million!"

"30 million!"

"35 million!"

...

With the players constantly bidding,

The auction price for the "Serpent King's Blade" quickly reached a staggering 50 million.

Reaching such a terrifying number,

Most players who had hoped to snag a bargain automatically dropped out.

The real competitors were actually just the top guild bosses in the second-floor suites and some hidden wealthy players.

Down in the main hall, Darklord looked at the newly arrived balance in his account.

Finally, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Without any hesitation, he gave his price, "I bid 55 million!"

Originally, his funds were seriously depleted due to John's maneuver.

But now the 30 million from selling shares transferred into his account,

Along with his collaboration with the Wolf Guild,

He had secured nearly 40 million in funds.

Darklord now held a huge sum of 70 million in his hands.

It seemed that winning the legendary equipment shouldn't be a big issue.

Darklord thought cheerfully.

His face was filled with greed and desire.

The bid of 55 million indeed discouraged a part of the auction participants.

But the big shots on the second floor were far from intimidated.

"60 million!" Snowla's soft and sweet voice rang out, brimming with unmistakable determination.

At this point, Darklord was frenzied, raising his bid without hesitation, "65 million."

Snowla's delicate eyebrows quietly furrowed as she promptly increased her offer, "70 million."

Darklord was going mad. 

Was this really necessary? 

The final price of the last legendary equipment was only 65 million. 

Even if the "Serpent King's Blade" had slightly better attributes, it surely wouldn't skyrocket to 70 million, right?

Darklord, throwing caution to the wind, shouted once again, "75 million!" Although he only had 70 million in cash, he could scrounge up an additional five million without much issue. 

With the competition this fierce, he had never contemplated giving up.

The price of 75 million made Snowla somewhat helpless. 

It wasn't that she couldn't afford it, but she simply felt this price was beyond the value of the equipment.

Seeing Snowla fall silent, Darklord quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Just when he thought everything was about to settle down, a dominant voice sounded from the Genesis Guild's suite.

"On behalf of Genesis Guild, I bid 80 million!"
