Chapter 521 Openly Hiring a Hitman

"Walter, you don't have to act so smug. Five billion dollars is nothing to me," Brent said coldly.

"Are you sure? You look pretty jealous to me," Walter replied with a laugh. "How about this, call me 'big brother' and I'll sell it to you for four billion. How about it? It's a good deal, just one word and you make a billion."

Brent's face turned even darker, almost to the point of rage.

Brent thought Walter was determined to oppose him and wasn't afraid of his anger. In fact, the angrier Brent got, the happier Walter felt.

Brent decided to ignore Walter, his inner fury burning.

Brent had already developed a murderous intent towards Walter. For now, he would let Walter gloat, but he would definitely kill him when the opportunity arose.

Sensing the opportune moment, Walter wisely refrained from further exploiting the situation, allowing the auction to proceed unabated.

The host returned to the stage and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, next up for auction is a favor from Delbert Loomis. You can command him to do one thing he cannot refuse, including murder."

This statement immediately caused an uproar in the audience.

Delbert was very famous in Starlight State, known for his exceptional martial arts skills, rumored to be at the third stage of martial arts mastery!

Such a person would be a major figure anywhere. The temptation to have Delbert do something he couldn't refuse was enormous.

"The starting bid is one billion dollars," the host announced passionately.

Many bidders' eyes lit up upon hearing this; many in the audience could easily afford one billion dollars.

Brent became even more excited, glancing over at James.

Brent's first thought was to have Delbert kill James.

"I bid two billion dollars!" Brent was the first to bid.

Quickly, others followed, "Three billion dollars."

"Four billion dollars."

"Five billion dollars!"

Brent stood up, glaring at everyone, signaling that no one should compete with him. Anyone who did would be his enemy.

Walter frowned, growing anxious. From Brent's look, he immediately guessed Brent's intention and shouted, "Ten billion dollars!"

Michael also cottoned on this, his face darkening.

Brent continued, "Twelve billion dollars!"

Brent raised the bid by two billion, showing his financial might.

Standing on the stage, Delbert suddenly opened his eyes.

As a master at the third stage of martial arts, he had reluctantly lowered himself to be auctioned off, which was humiliating for him.

Originally, he thought he would be sold for ten billion at most, but Brent had directly bid twelve billion.

Walter's frown deepened. The Jenkins family had strict rules, and he could only control five billion dollars. Even with the five billion he had just earned, it totaled ten billion. Any more, and he would be in trouble.

But to protect James, he gritted his teeth, ready to continue bidding.

He knew how formidable Delbert was, a top-tier master. In the entire Starlight State, few could match Delbert in martial arts.

He knew James was strong, but he definitely didn't think James could be stronger than Delbert.

After all, James was about the same age as him, not even thirty, while Delbert was already forty and at his peak, a master at the third stage of martial arts. Even ten Jameses might not be enough to defeat Delbert.

So Walter decided to protect James at any cost!

At this moment, Michael spoke up, "Fifteen billion dollars."

Walter had no money, but Michael had plenty.

At this bid, Delbert's face showed excitement.

Even at his wealthiest, Delbert had never had fifteen billion in assets!

Delbert thought this auction was worth it.

Brent's face grew even darker, his gaze icy as he looked at Michael, his killing intent undisguised. "Michael, are you looking to die? I bid sixteen billion dollars. If you dare to bid again, I'll make sure the Brown family is ruined!"

This threat was too great, and Michael began to waver.

The host asked, "Sixteen billion dollars, any other bids?"

"Sixteen billion dollars, going once."

Michael was torn.

At this moment, James spoke, smiling, "MIchael, no need to bid higher. Let him have it. Sixteen billion is quite a loss for him."

"James, this Delbert is incredibly skilled. From Brent's stance, he's planning to have Delbert kill you!" Michael said anxiously.

"No worries, he can't hurt me," James said with a smile.

This statement was heard by Delbert, who sharply looked over at James, his eyes blazing like two burning flames, very intimidating.

With no further competition from Michael, Brent successfully secured Delbert's favor for sixteen billion dollars.

After paying, Delbert leaped off the stage, covering a great distance in just a few steps, and bowed slightly to Brent, showing his respect.

Brent looked at Delbert, his emotions surging. He was also a martial artist, though only at the first stage, and could feel Delbert's immense power, which made him feel a bit fearful.

Brent had heard legends of Delbert since he was young. In Starlight State, Delbert was a legend, known for his exceptional martial arts.

"Mr. Loomis," Brent helped Delbert up, saying, "I've grown up hearing your legends and have long admired you. Meeting you today fulfills a dream of mine."

Brent's politeness made Delbert think more highly of him. Delbert nodded as he smiled, "What would you like me to do, Mr. Lewis? As long as it's within my power, I will do it without question."

Brent had been waiting for this. With a meaningful smile, he said, "Mr. Loomis, to be honest, I have an enemy here today. I would be grateful if you could help me take revenge."

With this, Walter and Michael's hearts raced, pounding wildly!

Walter was dumbfound that Brent really intended to have Delbert kill James!

Delbert wasn't surprised; he had already sensed Brent's killing intent.

Accepting the payment to resolve the trouble, Delbert smiled, "Who does Mr. Lewis wish to have eliminated? I shall promptly take their life."

His words were filled with confidence.

Brent smiled, too, looking over at James, "James Smith, it's him."
