In Mars's VIP room, Mars and the blond American both had facial twitches.
Although they had wanted to bid on Huaxia's national treasure, the thing's price would have been a few hundred million Euros at most. Was it worth spending 100 billion just to make a point? Moreover, the Imperial Jade Seal was still in Zhang Menglong's hands.
"Do you think I'm stupid to spend these 100 billion just to vent?" Zhang Menglong directly voiced what they were thinking.
But nobody responded, even though that was exactly what they were thinking.
"Sorry, but 100 billion Euros is nothing to me. If it annoys you, then I find this money well spent. Don't ask why, having money means being capricious!"
"For that act, I give you 99 points. I'm withholding one in case you become arrogant!" Wang Ling gave a thumbs up. A whopping 100 billion Euros could almost buy their entire group, and yet, for Zhang Menglong, it was nothing.
"Hahaha, I'm starting to young man." In Lei Jun's VIP room, Lei Jun burst into laughter upon seeing this scene, and even the middle-aged man who had been deadpan through and through cracked a smile.
From the recent events, they could tell that Zhang Menglong must be a very patriotic person. Even if Zhang Menglong bought that Fighting Spirit Pill, it probably wouldn't be too hard to buy it from him through national channels.
Even if leaving Europe would be fraught with difficulties, it was still much simpler than snatching it from the Americans.
As for the representatives of other countries, they were even more thrilled, each laughing more heartily than the last. They had already been pressured by the Americans during the auction, only for Zhang Menglong to burst onto the scene and snatch the Fighting Spirit Pill right from their hands, even throwing those provocative words at them—it was incredibly satisfying.
"Mr. Zhang, I hope you'll think this through. Opposing us Americans isn't a wise move. Moreover, that item in your possession is a hot potato, and you're going to face countless troubles on your way back to Huaxia."
"Are you trying to teach me how to do my job?" Zhang Menglong said disdainfully, "If you have the money, keep bidding, if not, stop fussing! Can't afford it? Then get lost. Threatening me? Do you think I, Zhang Menglong, am easily frightened?"
"I bid 1100 billion Euros!"
"Whoa!" A gasp erupted around the room. Zhang Menglong had jumped the price from over 800 billion directly to 1000 billion, and now this? What was he doing?
After Zhang Menglong's bid of 1000 billion Euros, no one else made a bid—it wasn't that the representatives of the Mars family didn't want to bid more, but rather, they simply didn't bring enough money, and arranging more funds wasn't something that could be done in the few short minutes available.
Zhang Menglong could completely secure the purchase of the Fighting Spirit Pill with that 1000 billion Euros.
But then, Zhang Menglong called out 1100 billion Euros, competing with his own previous bid—it was like everyone's blind spot!
"Mr. Zhang, are you determined to oppose us?"
"A bunch of poor losers!" Zhang Menglong rambled on, "You think you can oppose me? You're not even worth it. I'm richer than you, and if you're not happy about it, come fight me!"
"This Huaxia kid is pure talent!"
"So cheeky, but I like it!"
"That American must be so pissed. If I were that Level Six mutant, I'd already have picked up a knife."
"1100 billion Euros. How many countries' annual GDPs don't even amount to that? And he just casually calls out that price, it's truly astounding!"
"An entire country's wealth can't outbid him. This is what the Huaxia people mean by wealth that rivals countries!"
"Detected a large amount of Cred Energy!"
"Beginning automatic collection!"
"Collection complete, congratulations to the dean for gaining 27 Cred Points, please keep up the good work!"
"27 Cred Points!" Zhang Menglong's eyes lit up, not knowing if that was a lot or a little, but now it was confirmed, showing off really could earn Cred Points, and if he just flaunted four more times, he could unlock another teacher, or randomly gain one of Teacher Tony's skills.
"Are you guys yelling or not? Dilly-dallying like a bunch of hege women!" Zhang Menglong continued to speak aggressively.
"Mr. Zhang is indeed wealthy, we concede!" Mars held back his anger, in this place most were ordinary people, they absolutely couldn't use that power here, which was also the most important iron rule of the Second World, absolutely no public display of power in front of ordinary people, unless they killed everyone present, but that was obviously not possible.
"Since there is nobody else bidding against Mr. Zhang, I declare that the final auction item belongs to Mr. Zhang of VIP room 0!"
"Ah, how lonely it is to be invincible!" Zhang Menglong sighed as he returned to his seat.
"This kid!" Ma Yun and the others couldn't help but laugh.
Zhang Menglong was nothing like those heirs born into major families who maintain their dignity; no matter what the issue, he dared to do anything, dared to say anything, not at all like a rich second generation, but more like a ruffian, opposing him meant either being smashed with his money or pissed to death by his words, either way, there was definitely no good ending.
"Well, ladies and gentleman, that concludes our extreme auction for today, if fate allows, let's meet again in 10 years. Please everyone return to your rooms, and we will have people escort you out gradually starting tomorrow morning." Emma made her final closing statement, which also signified the end of this auction.
The crowd who came for the spectacle stood up to leave, considering the auction they witnessed today, it had been worth the trip, but for those who came for the Fighting Spirit Pill, for them, everything had just begun.
"Keep a close eye on him, he might attempt to flee tonight."
"Who would have thought, the item didn't end up in the hands of any country or organization, but in the hands of an ordinary young man from Huaxia, tomorrow is going to be exciting."
"Not only do I want to snatch that Immortal Pill from his hands tomorrow, I also want him dead!" Mars and the blonde young man gritted their teeth.
"Notify headquarters, send more people, dispatch two squads here, blockade the surrounding seas, don't let them board a plane, let's deal with them here!"
"Zuo Ge said, although this young man has made us a lot of money, he took our stuff for free, we can't just let him go back like that!"
Suddenly, everyone had their own schemes, and Zhang Menglong became the center of the storm.
"Old Zhang, why do I feel a chill on the soles of my feet, like someone is watching us?" It seemed that a chilling murderous intent drifting from around them was making Wang Ling feel quite uncomfortable.
"It's nothing, just your imagination," Zhang Menglong glanced outside the window, the auction had continued until midnight, and it was already dark outside.
"Mr. Zhang, many people have already started preparing to take action." Ye Yin told Zhang Menglong everything she had heard.
"It's fine," Zhang Menglong said, "Let's sleep until we wake up naturally tomorrow, they're planning to intercept me, right? Let them wait, without a good sleep, how can I have the energy to confront them?"
