The Lightfoot family would even give him a stronger protector.
âMaster Archi, we will also suffer if we donât show any respect to the Fellowes family and they decide to look into this,â Bernard advised.
âAre we disrespecting them? I didnât bid on everything. Only 80% of the stuff.â
Archimedes was indifferent.
âMaster, I know youâre mad and you need to vent. Now that youâve done that, please calm. down. Donât bid for anything after this. If not, we wonât be able to explain it to the family.â âWhatâs so hard about that? Uncle Bernard, just leave me alone. Since Iâm at an auction, I should buy to my heartâs content. I have all the money in the world.â
âMaster 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 familyâs power to handle certain people later on.â
Bernardâs words went straight to Archimedesâ heart.
If he wanted to get rid of everyone who saw him wet himself at the tavern, he surely needed to use the familyâs 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.
âUncle Bernard, I got it. I will restrain myself next and not bid recklessly. Iâll only bid for the things I like,â
Archimedes said.
âThank you for being wise, Master.â
On the other side, after Alba walked down the stage, she ran to Valerio.
âGrandpa Val, that rascal Archimedes is here to make trouble. If he continues, our auction. wonât achieve its desired effect,â 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.
âIs the Lightfoot family trying to have a fallout with the Fellowes family?
âNo, what would they gain from this?â
âAlba, I see. Go back and continue hosting. A lot of them are still waiting. No matter what happens, we have to continue the auction,â Valerio thought about it and said.
âBut what if Archimedes continues to do what he did just now? If we continue, it will only serve his purpose.â
âLet him continue then.â
âButâ¦â
âAlba, why donât 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 doesnât, we wonât lose anything if we bid on it ourselves.â
Alba thought about it and figured this might work.
âAlright, Grandpa Val, Iâll go back now. You should be quick. I think heâs here to make trouble and he wonât stop just like this.â
âOkay, go now. Donât let everyone wait.â
Alba left quickly and continued hosting the auction.
Valerio did not move. However, his brows were tightly furrowed.
âWhatâs the Lightfoot family trying to do?
âDid Archimedesâ family order him to do this? Or is it all Archimedes?
âWhatâs the purpose of this?â
Countless questions were swimming through Valerioâs 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 familyâs bottom line.
