The auction was nearing its end, Fang Jueyu, with deep pockets, once again successfully bid on 24 items, even adding a few new members to his garage and private hangar. But his purpose was solely to spend money, nothing more.
Including the 60 billion euros spent to support those three countries, Fang Jueyu had spent over 140 billion euros in this auction, a sum even Fang Huai had never spent all at once in those days.
"When I return to the country and arrange the funds for desert construction, I should be able to submit the task." Fang Jueyu's face showed a faint excitement; it wouldn't be long before he could perhaps possess such enviable power like Gu Yi and the others.
The final two DSB-003 serums were presented on the auction stage, starting at a base price of 2 billion euros, and this auction had truly entered its final stage.
Many national representatives had already begun to discreetly set things in motion, as the auction had ended, but the scramble for enhancement serums had not. A thick scent of gunpowder filled the entire venue.
In the room of the Sun Country's representative, a "Dark Ninja," covered in blood, stumbled in.
"Kato-kun!" Jingen Shuuji immediately supported him, sensing a tremendously chaotic energy within Kato Akira, and his physical condition was extremely poor. Most crucially, he had a very familiar aura on him, strikingly similar to the counterattack experienced when he had used spiritual power to probe.
"What happened?" Jingen Shuuji promptly took out a light green syringe and injected it into Kato Akira's arm.
"Some unexpected things occurred," Kato Akira slowly regained his color, having been ordered to intercept the Pakistani delegates in an attempt to seize that batch of enhancement serums.
In fact, many had this idea; nearly ten countries had dispatched superpower users to wait on their inevitable path.
They seemed to have a very unified understanding to first hold the people back, leaving the final ownership of the serum to depend on individual capabilities. Pakistan, as a small country, had at best an SS-level superpower user, and even among those at the same level, their strength was rather average.
However, unexpectedly, someone secretly assisted those Pakistani representatives, not even letting them see who took action. Three SS-level superpower users were shattered by an unseen energy on the spot, and the rest were all wounded.
If not for some special abilities, Kato Akira might already have died in that area.
"Do you know who made a move?" Jingen Shuuji asked.
Kato Akira shook his head.
He truly couldn't guess the opponent's motive. Such precious enhancement serums, these mysterious people not only refrained from seizing them but also helped those people escape. Just where did these individuals come from? What was their relationship with the owner of room 01?
"Don't worry about them for now. We must seize the remaining serums!" Jingen Shuuji instructed Kato Akira to rest on the side and focused his full attention on the scramble for the final two sets of DSB-003 serums.
Jingen Shuuji had investigated the capital carried by various countries this time; the only countries that could compete with them were a few like the United States, France, and Germany, with others posing no significant threat at all.
"The bidding begins!"
"14 billion!" The national representatives capable of continuing the competition almost already knew each other's ceiling; starting slowly from 2 billion euros would only waste time, so Jingen Shuuji directly shouted a price close to their limit.
The representative of France looked grim as they only had a total of 13.8 billion, clearly indicating that the last two sets of serums were almost out of their reach.
"14.2 billion!" shouted Sleve, the representative of the United States.
"16 billion!" The representative of Ukraine, who had remained silent from the beginning, also joined the fray.
"How's that possible?" It was already quite surprising that Pakistan could come up with such exaggerated funds, and Ukraine's sudden intervention instantly made the situation much more complex.
"16 billion, going once!"
All the national representatives were panicked, not because they didn't want to continue bidding, but because they genuinely didn't have that much money!
"Old Fang, that's someone from Ukraine, right?" Wang Cong, though unversed in Ukrainian, was at least knowledgeable, having heard it before.
"That's right, hahaha, I can already imagine the crazed expressions of the Americans and the Sun Country people." Fang Jueyu laughed, "Those Sun Country people still think they can use dog heads to earn our money. Watch me play them to death."
"Hahaha, encountering you is their bad luck from the past life!"
At the price of 16 billion, this batch of enhancement serums was unsurprisingly taken by the Ukrainians, while the other set went to the Israeli representative for 15.8 billion euros.
The auction officially concluded, with more than ninety percent returning empty-handed; Fang Jueyu was practically the biggest winner, joyfully paying the money. After such a long time, his portion of liquid funds was finally down to just over 400 billion US dollars.
All the goods would be delivered by special aircraft to Fang Jueyu's residence in Huaxia within two days, so there was no need for him to worry about that.
"Young Master, someone from the Rothschild auction house left a message for you," Colt said.
"Miss Scarlett wishes to meet you, and to thank you."
"Huh?" Fang Jueyu was taken aback.
"Oh, Young Master, you might not know this, but the Rothschild family's auctioneers are treated very generously. They earn substantial commissions from the difference between the actual auction price and the estimated auction price. Miss Scarlett made quite a fortune tonight!"
"Old Fang, hehe, I guess I'll head back first. Would you like to meet her?" Wang Cong laughed lecherously, clearly entertaining some inappropriate thoughts.
Scarlett was a recognized goddess; however, to be honest, her appearance didn't align with Fang Jueyu's aesthetic standards. But if it was just a simple thank you, Fang Jueyu didn't mind meeting this superstar.
"Colt, find someone to take Wang Cong home. I'm afraid he might run into some trouble on the way!" Fang Jueyu arranged.
"Rest assured, Young Master, I will make sure Mr. Wang is safely escorted to his residence!"
"Yes, thanks for the hard work!"
"Laugh again, and I will buy your dad's Baidar Group and make you the restroom manager!" Fang Jueyu said fiercely.
Wang Cong immediately shut his mouth; given Fang Jueyu's capabilities, this was not an impossible threat.
Seeing the timid look on Wang Cong's face, Fang Jueyu felt a bit more satisfied. "Let's go, meet Miss Scarlett."
The Rothschild family had already arranged the meeting place, with someone escorting him there. With Gu Yi's protection, Fang Jueyu had no worries.
"Sir, Miss Scarlett is inside." The attendant brought Fang Jueyu outside a room.
"Young Master, Gu Yi and I will wait for you outside." Zhuang Ying said.
"Alright, I'll just chat briefly and be off!" Fang Jueyu pushed the door open, and as he stepped into the room, a strong aromatic scent greeted him. Scarlett was wearing a tight sequined mini dress with silver high heels.
She held a glass of red wine, her lips vivid and alluring.
"Damn! It feels like I've entered the Silk Cave again!"
