Chapter 632: Chapter 632

The Patriarch of the Wei family's hand trembled slightly; he was extremely nervous as the price climbed higher and higher, soon to surpass 2.5 billion.

Once it exceeded 2.5 billion, he would lose his qualification to compete.

Five billion yuan was the most the Wei family could currently muster, not everyone had the financial resources of Xu Hao or Tu Yilong.

"The Wu Family, 2.5 billion!"

When Wu Yong called out the bid of 2.5 billion, the Patriarch of the Wei family despaired completely.

He knew the Wei family had no hope left; at least in the short term, it was certain that no Grandmaster Level Expert would emerge from their ranks.

Xu Hao had said that he would help the members of the Wei family advance to Grandmaster, but Xu Hao himself had only just reached the Early Stage Grandmaster level. Unless he sought help from the powerful forces behind him, it wouldn't be possible to aid someone else in becoming a Grandmaster Level Expert in the short term.

However, if Xu Hao was indeed a scion sent out by a major power for experience, it would be impossible for him to get substantial support from his backers. They would only intervene when he faced a life-and-death crisis, as constant protection from his family's forces would defeat the purpose of his trials.

Tu Yilong, who had been keeping a portion of his attention on the Patriarch of the Wei family, saw his crestfallen expression and scoffed, "Xu Hao, are you that stingy? The Wei family has publicly pledged their allegiance to you, and all you put forward is 2 billion? Are you treating them like beggars?"

The Patriarch of the Wei family hurriedly said, "Third Young Master Tu, you misunderstand. I am very pleased that Young Master Xu could offer 2 billion to . It shows that we did not choose the wrong person."

"Are you really that naive or just pretending? Xu Hao is always boasting about his wealth, isn't he? Yet, at this critical moment that everyone understands to be so important, he only offered 2 billion to help you, and it was merely a verbal promise. Because he knows full well that a mere 2 billion could never secure this Elixir Pill, so he could afford to make that empty promise. Idle boasts don't break the law, so isn't this deceiving you?" Tu Yilong mocked.

He felt that he had seen through Xu Hao's intentions completely and thus analyzed the situation.

The Wei family's Patriarch wanted to refute this, but found he had no ground to stand on.

Xu Hao indeed hadn't offered anything tangible, which did seem like an empty promise, but at least Xu Hao had made a statement, hadn't he?

Xu Hao shook his head slightly and said with a faint smile, "Tu Yilong, do you think I've given too little?"

"Indeed! You're always talking about how rich you are, yet you only give this little to your subordinate, not even enough to fill the gaps between his teeth!" Tu Yilong said unabashedly.

"Then why don't you give money to the Wu Family?" Xu Hao retorted.

"The Wu Family is wealthy and doesn't need my money," Tu Yilong said with a sneer. The Tu family supported the most powerful Wu Family, so he didn't need to take personal action in many matters; the Wu Family could naturally handle things well.

"Then this is too boring. How about this: I choose to support the Wei family, so you should also choose to support a smaller clan, like the Cao family. We both provide financial support to them and then bid. How about it?" Xu Hao said with a light smile.

When the members of the Cao family heard Xu Hao's words, they were thrilled.

If Tu Yilong agreed, wouldn't that mean they still had a chance to compete for the Elixir Pill?

This was like a pie falling from the sky, a stroke of great fortune! Alwаys rеаd frоm thе sоurсе: М|V|LЕ4МРYR.

Suddenly, they felt that Xu Hao could also have moments when he was lovable and respectable, and he didn't seem as hateful as before.

"Oh, you want to compete with me?"

Tu Yilong sneered, "Trying to drag me into this? Impossible! The money my family gave me is meant for buying what I need, not for wasting on trash . If you think you can make me bid against you now, you're dreaming!"

Tu Yilong was not fooled by Xu Hao.

Because Xu Hao remembered what Tu Yilong had said before, he deduced that the Tu family must have known that something valuable would appear tonight. That's why they had brought out a full 200 billion yuan for Tu Yilong to use at all costs to win it at the auction.

He had hoped to make Tu Yilong spend tens of billions on this Elixir Pill and then outbid him for the item Tu Yilong wanted to purchase later, which would surely infuriate him.

Unfortunately, Tu Yilong wasn't taking the bait.

At that moment, Chen Suyi pursed her lips and said, "Tsk! You're just chickening out! Before the auction, weren't you boasting about how rich you were? Where are those 200 billion yuan? Why don't you dare to spend them? It's because that money isn't yours; it's just temporarily entrusted to you by your clan. You can only act according to the orders issued to you by your family and don't have the guts to do even a little against their wishes.

Sigh, to think you're the Third Young Master of the Tu Family, such an impressive title, a Grandmaster Level Expert no less, but alas, you're just a puppet on strings. The family tells you to go east, and you dare not go west. How pitiful!"

In just a few sentences, Chen Suyi made Tu Yilong seem so pitiable.

As the Third Young Master of the Tu family, he seemed like a bird in a cage, deprived of freedom.

It seemed, indeed, somewhat pitiable.

Even Tu Yilong himself began to doubt his life choices.
