Maine's heavy bet immediately caused Ans's net worth to soar, and his ranking also rose accordingly. Jumped from the original sixth place to the second place, only after Allen.
"I hope the two tons of platinum are not your private treasury, Mr. Main." Horn looked at the butler and nodded.
"Alan, two tons of platinum." The butler raised two fingers and said.
Maine's expression darkened immediately. Ever since Horn was suppressed politically by him 20 years ago and his family's ranking slipped, he has been acting in a low-key manner. But today, it seemed that he was clearly against himself. He frowned, and with his shrewdness, he couldn't think of the reason. In previous death rings, there were many wealthy families who spent a lot of money on a certain player, but it was rare to invest 30 million in a young man like Horn.
"Ans, two tons of platinum." Maine raised his hand and made another big bet.
At this moment, all the public trust platforms of the federal government on the floating island are constantly refreshing the worth of Allen and Ans. Behind the fierce competition in the ranking scores of the two teenagers, many people saw that there was a big shot behind the scenes, which made some people follow the trend and bet on the two teenagers, so the scores of the two were almost in seconds. Units are changing.
Horn didn't change his face, and winked at the butler again.
"Alan, add two tons of platinum." The butler said immediately.
There was silence in the banquet hall. Beth Kede, who had been silent for twenty years, actually bet 50 million federal coins for a boy on the surface. This definitely broke the personal betting record in the previous death ring. Now, the nobles in the hall are all looking at Maine with hopeful eyes, and they are all wondering whether Maine will continue to increase the price.
Beads of sweat had already oozed from Maine's forehead, and four tons of platinum was already the largest amount of money he could use within his authority. If you want to continue to increase the size, you need the consent of the family council. Although he is the patriarch, he is not free from scruples.
"Five tons of platinum, Mr. Horn, I am very puzzled. With the current situation of your family, is it possible to come up with this huge sum of money? It won't be a blank check, right?" Maine forced a smile and said.
The housekeeper Hai Xin immediately pulled out a check expressionlessly, and handed it to Altas next to him, saying: "This is a bearer check from the Bethkind family, and the withdrawal amount is exactly 50 million. Go to our family treasury to receive five tons of platinum, or use it directly."
When Altais took the check from the butler, Horn looked at his relatively young opponent and said, "Mr. Maine, do you want to continue to increase the size?"
Maine took out a handkerchief from his jacket pocket, wiped his sweat and said, "No, I'm a businessman. It would be too irrational to bet money on a project whose income can't even equal the principal just for the sake of anger." .”
Then he said to Altays: "I will ask the secretary to bring the check later."
"I still have something to do, so I'm leaving." Maine regained his previous poise, but everyone could tell that he no longer had the arrogance he had when he entered the door. Before leaving, he turned around again, put his shoulders on Horn's shoulders like an old friend, bent down slightly and said: "For the sake of friends for many years, Mr. Horn. I have to remind you that Beth Keld may The heritage is deep. But in the younger generation, I don't see any ability at all
successor. If after Mr. Horn, Bethkind has no opponent, I will be quite lonely. "
After speaking, he laughed and left.
Horn reached out and brushed his shoulders, his eyes fell on Allen's head, and he said in a voice that only he could hear: "Idiot, the future of Bethkind is here. Soon, you will gain a strong enemy , dear Maine Alexander!"
Just to the left of the banquet hall, there is a small private room. The wall on one side of the private room is covered with coated SLR glass. People in the private room can see what happened in the banquet hall. At this moment, standing beside the SLR window was a tall, well-built man. Beneath the rare short black hair was a European face. The profound outline is like the statue of David under Michelangelo's carving knife. The black pupils, the high nose bridge and the well-groomed beard around the chin all emphasize the unique majesty of this man. .
In the banquet hall, men generally wear decent suits. But this man was wearing a military uniform and military boots, with white gloves on his hands, and a light saber pinned to his waist. The scabbard of the saber is white gold, and it is decorated with dark gold patterns. The cup-shaped gauntlet and sword hilt are silver-white, and the extremely smooth polished metal reflects another figure beside it.
"Horn, this old thing, is so fierce today. Poor Maine still wanted to take advantage of it. When he bit it down, he found that Beth Kede's bone was still so hard." The man in military uniform smiled faintly. Dao, his voice is deep and slightly hoarse, which makes the voice more magnetic.
The man next to him said in a low voice: "Thanks to Tomein, the 10% handling fee we get from the betting by him and Horn alone is a lot of money."
"However, Horn is old after all. After being so stimulated by Maine, he actually made such a big bet. I'm afraid he has regretted it now." The man smiled slightly.
The man in military uniform said: "Just listening to this sentence, you know that Wen Sen can only be a clerk, and you can't become a character like Horn."
The man next to him was stunned, and quickly lowered his head, his eyes flashed with dissatisfaction, but his tone was extremely respectful: "I would like to hear more about it."
"If you have read Horn's life, you will know that this old fox will never make meaningless investments. Do you think that a mere Maine can make him lose his sense of proportion? That's too high a view on Maine. Back then, Horn only It will give Alexander an opportunity, not because Maine is capable, but because he has been hit hard and disheartened, which will cause the family ranking to drop." Speaking of this, the man in military uniform paused and said: "Otherwise, the three Maine is no match for Horn either."
"Look, there must be a reason for Horn to bet heavily on that boy."
"Your Excellency's opinion." Vincent said respectfully.
He also said: "According to Your Excellency, which teenager has a greater chance of winning this death ring?"
"Who knows, even the little guy that Horn is optimistic about may not be able to win. After all, there are too many unexpected things in this world." The man in military uniform walked towards another door: "Besides, this is just a A game played by children. Once every two years, let the untouchables on the surface have a small hope, so that their eyes will be on the game, and they will not care about other things."
"Some I don't want them off
matter of heart. He emphasized: "Our real stage is on the Outland battlefield, my dear Vincent." I heard that our Greedy Wolf General is coming back, I hope she can bring me good news. "
"General Windsor Bellow is young and capable, and he will certainly not let you down."
When he opened the door, the man in the military uniform seemed to have thought of something, "Oh" said: "Vincent, I will vote 1 million for our little Allen in my own name later."
"Your Excellency also..."
"No, this is a tribute to Horn. Bethkind has been silent for twenty years, and it seems that he is about to make a move. I am very happy, that's all."
Leaving this sentence, he walked out of the gate. The clerk lowered his head behind the door, and said softly, "Of order, Your Excellency Morbit."
The man in military uniform is the current federal president.
The man-made rain on the floating island of Babylon continued, and in the training center building, Alan was still thrown and rolled all over the ground by Hughton in order to practice the skill of "spin". The world seems to be unchanged, but in fact, everyone's destiny is undergoing drastic changes.
On the weekend of the third week, the ranking score is updated again. Allen still topped the list, but Lucy slipped to third place. Ans came from behind, promoted several places in a row, and closely followed Allen.
This time, Allen received a set of individual battlefield defense light armor, a precious source of stimulation potion, and other bits and pieces of rewards. Among these rewards, the former two are the most valuable. Individual defensive light armor can be split into tactical suits and armor components, which provide Allen with additional defense. The source power stimulating potion works just like its name suggests, it can stimulate the user's source power growth rate.
Coupled with the previous fire berries and physical enhancement potions, Allen finally formed the fifth source vortex on the weekend of the third week. But when he walked out of the training area, he looked sullen.
Hugh took a sip of his drink and asked, "What's the matter, kid?"
"Mr. Hughton, I have formed the fifth source force vortex." Allen said.
Hughton looked him up and down: "This is a good thing, why are you still depressed like you lost all your money?"
"But, it's too slow." Allen sat down, and the young man sighed, "According to what you said, at least nine source vortexes are needed to hit the first barrier. Now there is only one week before the start of the death ring , but I only have five origin force vortexes."
"Be content, brat." Hughton shook his head and said, "Your growth rate is already very fast. What's more, there is no shortcut to the growth of source power. You can only accumulate it through time and hard work."
"Is there no faster growth method?" Allen raised his head and asked unwillingly.
Hugh put down the wine bottle and said, "It's not that there is no such method, but most people don't like that method. But you don't care, even if you don't like it, you will come into contact with it soon."
"What method?" Allen's eyes lit up. Now, for him, as long as he can refine nine source vortexes as soon as possible, he is willing to try any method.
"Battle feeds war." Hugh burped, and the air was filled with a strong smell of alcohol: "To put it bluntly, it's fighting. Keep fighting, and let yourself wander between life and death, this is what I know Yes, the fastest way to accumulate source power."
