Me! The Strongest Alchemist!-Chapter 127 - Gilbert Who Fell Out

“100 million gold coins going once!”

“100 million gold coins going twice!”

“100 million gold coins…”

Just as Gilbert thought that the two Legendary creatures were within his reach, an aged voice broke his fantasy.

“I offer 200 million gold coins!” It turned out that it was Harold below the stage who raised the bidding card and threw out a sky-high price of 200 million gold coins. After all, in the face of the Wales Family which clearly had the intention to rebel, as the leader of Pine’s faction, Harold could not ignore it.

“As expected of His Majesty Harold. He actually doubled the price! Now, the price for two Legendary Storm Wolves is at 200 million gold coins!

Anyone would like to offer a price higher than 200 million gold coins?! ”

“220 million gold coins!” Good heavens, as he heard the sound of increasing the price from below the stage, Mas focused his gaze. It turned out that Gilbert was unwilling to give up and wanted to continue bidding.

“Hmm? Then I’ll increase my bid to 240 million gold coins.” Harold calmly raised the bidding card in his hand and slowly said the exaggerated number.

“His Majesty has offered a sky-high price of 240 million. Anyone else wants to increase the price? 𝘧𝘳𝐞𝚎𝑤ℯ𝘣𝗻𝘰ѵℯl.c𝐨𝚖

Faced with the 240 million gold coins offered by the other party, Gilbert could not offer a higher price. This was because he knew that if he offered a higher price, he would be powerless to pay it. At that time, he would become the laughing stock of the entire aristocracy of the Storm Empire, and would not stand a chance to compete for the throne!

“240 million going once! ”

“240 million going twice!”

......

“240 million thrice! Deal! Congratulations to His Majesty, Harold, from the royal family of the Storm Empire, for winning these two legendary magical beast, the Storm Wolves, for 240 million gold coins!”

After Mas announced the final outcome, Gilbert could no longer sit still. He walked out of the alchemy tent and shouted, “Harold, don’t be smug. I don’t believe your Pine family can take out 240 million gold coins. Don’t think that I don’t know. In fact, your Pine family has been in an economic crisis since the last alchemy war with the Moulan Empire!”

Everyone, including Mas, did not expect Gilbert to walk out of the alchemy tent and question the wealth of Harold and the royal family.

By doing so, he was completely falling out with Harold.

This situation left Mas completely stunned. He could not guess the meaning behind Gilbert’s actions.

Mas was thinking about how to solve this problem.

Although Mas was more confident in Harold’s wealth, he also believed that Harold could not fork out 240 million gold coins.

If Harold could not fork out 240 million gold coins, it would confirm Gilbert’s words.

Although there was indeed something behind the auction of the two Hurricane Wolves, no one else knew.

However, once it was exposed, Master Mas’ reputation would definitely be greatly affected.

“Damn it!” Mas cursed under his breath, his mind racing for a solution.

At this moment, Harold walked out of the alchemy tent.

He looked at Gilbert expressionlessly.

“Gilbert, are you angry?” said Harold coldly.

“I’m not targeting you, Your Majesty. I just have doubts about this final auction.” Gilbert took a deep breath and calmed down.

Harold sneered at that.

“Gilbert, you previously suspected that I don’t have 240 million gold coins, right?” Harold said coldly.

“That’s right!” Gilbert nodded.

With his earlier doubts, Gilbert had already fallen out with Harold. Naturally, he would not be polite to Harold anymore.

“Gilbert, your final bid is 220 million, right? Why can’t I bid 240 million?”

“As for you saying that I, or even the entire Pine family, cannot fork out this sum of money. Although I might not care if you say this or treat it as a joke, I’ll let it pass.

However, you actually slandered the entire Pine family and even humiliated the Pine family. This is not funny at all!

Dear Gilbert, you must always be responsible for the choices you make, understand? I believe your father in the Heavenly Realm knows this very well!” Harold stared at Gilbert and spoke.

Upon hearing the words “father”, the already hostile atmosphere was instantly ignited. This was because Gilbert’s greatest taboo was his father.

Wales Agust, Gilbert’s father, the previous Chancellor of the Exchequer, had been persecuted because of Harold’s suspicions. In the end, he had died in a foreign land. Even his bones had not been recovered. This was also one of the biggest reasons why Gilbert had decided to rebel against the Pine family.

As for the other reasons, they were the endless greed of humans.

“But that’s true. Words are useless. Since Gilbert personally said that I don’t have the capability, then I should produce some substantial evidence to prove the capability of the Pine Family.

Rosa, get the servants to send all the accounts of the Pine family and the real estate over! ”

Upon hearing this, Rosa, who was sitting at the side, immediately agreed. “Yes, Your Majesty. I’ll send a servant to deliver the accounts.”

After a while, a servant dressed as a soldier hurriedly rode his horse and handed the accounts of all the properties of the Pine family to Harold.

After looking through it and making sure that there were no mistakes, Harold called Gilbert and walked to the middle of the crowd. He used the alchemy projector to project the account book on the auction table.

Seeing the real number on the account book, everyone could no longer doubt the purchasing power of the Pine Family.

Gilbert, who was at the side, could not believe what was happening. He muttered softly, “You damned bastard, how dare you lie to the Wales family and shame us? I won’t let you off…”

All the nobles understood Gilbert’s reaction very well. After all, he stood out like a clown in public and questioned the current royal family but got slapped in the face. Anyone would be extremely humiliated if that happened to themselves.
