Biên tập viên: Inschain
At this point, the situation was already beyond Harry's control. He could only act on the situation. Even though he had remained calm and collected in the face of difficulties for many years, at this moment, he couldn't help but feel his whole body heating up and his mind going blank.
"You guys decide. The highest bidder wins." Harry calmly spoke. He could no longer control the situation and could only let them bid. Anyway, he was the final beneficiary.
No one had an objection to Harry's words. He had made it very clear that whoever had the ability could take it.
Moreover, the competition was no longer as simple as a token. To put it bluntly, this was the first confrontation among the few major clans in this game. It all depended on who had the ability.
Of course, this wasn't a competition of popularity, nor was it a competition of martial strength, but a competition of wealth.
"Everyone, think it over. There is no benefit to anyone to continue this competition. Our family only accepts female players, and it will not affect anyone's development in any way...." Before Frostbite-ScarletRose could finish her words, Stormbringers-Jagger sneered.
"Since there is no benefit to anyone to continue this competition. Why don't you guys give it to our Stormbringers Clan? I'll pay one million dollars." Stormbringers-Jagger had not spoken before because he was communicating with the clan. After receiving the clan's approval, he did not wait for Frostbite-ScarletRose to finish and spoke directly.
Hearing this, everyone fell silent. They did not raise the bid and instead began to ponder. Although the Faction Establishment Token was very important, they had to be rational. After all, none of them were stupid and would not be led by the nose by a solo player.
"Haha, it's really lively today. Hi, Bro, I'll pay double the price!"
Just as everyone was silent, a clear laughter suddenly sounded from afar. Everyone turned their heads to look.
"Damn, the Third-in-Command of the King of the City Clan!"
"Oh my… It's actually the member from the King of the City Clan!"
"The rumored number one family of the game!"
"What bullsh*t rumor, it is indeed the number one!"
"..."
The appearance of the members of the King of the City Clan caused a huge commotion among the players. It was even more shocking than the appearance of any other Clans. Some players' eyes gleamed with excitement. Their dream was to join the King of the City Clan, to become a part of the game's first major clan.
However, the players from other clans around Harry couldn't help but frown, especially Stormbringers-Jagger. He clenched his fists tightly and looked at the members of the King of the City Clan approaching. His eyes were ominously dark, as he had lost to the third commander of the King of the City Clan in the previous game.
As Harry looked at the leader of the group approaching him, his pupils slightly contracted. The person was about 6.5 feet tall, well-built with a sturdy physique. He was fully equipped, even more so than Harry, especially the weapon in his hand, which emitted a faint light. At first glance, it was not an ordinary weapon.
Not only the leader, but also the several players following him were dressed in equipment, distinguishing themselves from the surrounding players. The whole team appeared exceptionally powerful when compared to others.
One thing should be noticed that this was the early stages of the game, yet they had obtained so much equipment in a short period of time meant they must have killed many high-level monsters. The drop rate of low-level monsters couldn't possibly account for such a large collection of equipment.
The appearance of the members of the King of the City Clan not only shocked the players but also showcased their strength. They were all equipped with extraordinary gear, as if gods had descended, earning the respect and admiration of those who saw them. It was no wonder they could dominate all the games and become the number one gaming clan.
Including the people from other clans around Harry, they were also shocked and amazed by the appearance of the King of the City Clan. It was evident that they were equally surprised by how the King of the City Clan had acquired so much equipment in such a short time.
Harry looked at the leader who stood before him, named KOC-SolarFlare, with a full beard and a proud smile on his face. With his muscular arms, he was undoubtedly a formidable warrior in real life as well.
"Hello! I'm SolarFlare from King of the City Clan." KOC-SolarFlare said in a hearty voice, his face beaming with a smile. However, as he looked at Harry's equipment, especially the pale blue ring, he felt slightly surprised inwardly but didn't show it.
"Hi, I'm Savion." Harry also revealed a smile. Things had worked out well. Several major clans had clashed, and he was the beneficiary. Harry felt secretly delighted. That monkey was truly a godsend. He never expected that a Faction Establishment Token would lead to such an intense battle without firing a single shot.
"Rules, the highest bidder wins," Harry smiled faintly. Although this statement seemed casual, it carried a deeper meaning. Even if you are the number one clan, even if you are from the King of the City Clan, if you want to obtain this token, you have to follow the rules. Intimidation won't work.
As soon as he finished speaking, the players from the other clans were stunned. Then, they looked at Harry strangely. How could they not understand the implication of his words?Especially the several female players from the Frostbite Clan, upon hearing his words, burst into laughter. They were closest to the King of the City Clan and rarely witnessed them being countered.
Including Frostbite-ScarletRose, she also smiled and sized up Harry with interest.
"Dude, please don't misunderstand. Our King of the City Clan would never intimidate you for a token," KOC-SolarFlare naturally understood the meaning behind Harry's words and felt somewhat uneasy. He quickly clarified.
"Everyone knows the relationship between our Frostbite Clan and the King of the City Clan. So we won't participate, then good luck to everyone," Frostbite-ScarletRose lightly laughed and spoke, then stood aside without any intention to leave. She wanted to see how things unfolded and who would snatch the Faction Establishment Token.
Hearing Frostbite-ScarletRose's words, Harry frowned slightly. He felt a little regretful that he lost a bidder so quickly.
"Did you say double the price? That's two million dollars," Harry said seriously, but his gaze didn't turn towards KOC-SolarFlare. Instead, he looked at Stormbringers-Jagger and LCG-Heaven, indicating that it was their turn to make a bid.
"Just two million dollars." KOC-SolarFlare casually spoke, turning his head to look at Stormbringers-Jagger and LCG-Heaven, wearing an expression that implied the token belonged to him alone.
LCG-Heaven lowered his head and didn't say anything, seemingly discussing with his clan members. After a while, he looked up at everyone.
"The Lord Commander of God Clan withdraws." LCG-Heaven faintly smiled. Although he withdrew, he maintained his elegance and didn't lose his composure.
Harry rubbed his nose, somewhat surprised, then turned to Stormbringers-Jagger.
"2.5 million dollars." Stormbringers-Jagger seemed to be discussing with the clan as well. After a long time, he raised his head and said.
"Three million dollars." Before Harry could say anything, KOC-SolarFlare spoke directly. It was as if money was not money in his eyes, but just numbers. This was very consistent with his image and appeared extremely domineering.
Hearing this, Stormbringers-Jagger didn't bid again. In fact, the members of his clan had already sent news that the price was too high. It was just a token, and they could get it in the future. There was no need to do this now.
However, when he looked at KOC-SolarFlare and thought of the past, he could not help but raise the price in a fit of anger. He had tricked KOC-SolarFlare, and it could be considered as venting his stinginess.
"Three million dollars, are you sure you guys don't want the Faction Establishment Token anymore?" Harry looked at the players around him and said expectantly.
"Deal!" After a while, Harry spoke up when he saw that the people around him were silent.
"Dude, give me a bank account number. I'll get someone to transfer the money." KOC-SolarFlare laughed and said straightforwardly.
When Harry revealed his bank account number, he also gave the Faction Establishment Token to KOC-SolarFlare.
Not long after, Harry heard a system notification. It was a text message from his phone, but he didn't log off to check it. With so many witnesses, KOC-SolarFlare might not dare to lie to him.
"Hey, hey, hey, everyone! Don't be in a hurry to leave. I still have some things here. I don't know if you're interested." Harry hurriedly said when he saw them turn around and leave.
