Under everyoneâs gaze, Archimedes finally spoke.
He was not as angry as everyone expected.
He asked calmly, âWhatâs your name?â
âI 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,â David said arrogantly and despotically.
He looked exactly like a hedonist from a major force.
âDavid Lidell? Alright! Iâll remember you. However, itâs still too early to say who will make who feel fear and despair,â 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.
âOh? Archimedes, how long has it been since we last met. Have you already forgotten what happened at the tavern? I guess I didnât punish you enough. If I knew this would have happened, I would have crippled you so that you wonât make so much noise here and disturbed me.â
David said, looking a little disappointed.
When he said that, everyone at the scene was shocked.
Countless voices sounded.
âDamn, who is this? How is he so savage? He even said he wanted to cripple the first-in-line heir of the Lightfoot family. Isnât he worried about the Lightfoot familyâs retribution?â
âHow despotic! I thought Master Archimedes was the most noble one among us. I didnât expect there to be someone whoâs 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!â
âDidnât 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!â
âSince he can force Master Archimedes to this stage, I can only say four words, what a mad lad!â
âMy friend, please accept my admiration. I admire you so much!â
âDo you think you can call him that? Heâs a savage who isnât even scared of the Lightfoot family. You canât claim higher class connections with him.â
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.
âDavid, youâre asking for it!â
When Archimedes was about to lose control, he felt a hand on his shoulder.
âMaster, calm down. A little neglect may breed great mischief. It seems the other party knows you very well and heâs 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, weâre at Treasure Troveâs auction and heâs a guest, so the Fellowes family will not stand idly by and watch us attack him,â Bernard whispered.
âI know! Uncle Bernard, I will make him pay after this auction,â Archimedes tried his best to suppress his anger and said.
âYou donât need to say a word. I will take him down the second the auction ends. Then, Iâll hand him to you so that you can torture him however you want.â
Bernardâs 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.
âWhatâs going on?â
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?
âIs this a joke?
âOr is Master Archimedes scared of who David is?
âIs that why he only dares to yell back but not take action?â
