Chapter 522 Facing Death?
The much-anticipated moment that everyone present had been waiting for was finally about to unfold.
Once again, everyone turned to look at James.
"Alright, I'll bring James' head to Mr. Lewis," Delbert said with a meaningful smile, then glanced at James with narrowed eyes, like a cat toying with a mouse.
In his eyes, James was just a novice in the first stage of martial arts, and compared to him, a third-stage martial artist, it was worlds apart.
Walter and Michael shuddered at his gaze, their hearts trembling.
Everyone else's hearts raced as well; they couldn't believe that Brent truly intended for Delbert to assassinate James at the auction, right in front of so many bidders. This was outrageously bold.
They grew even more curious about the identity of James. It was one thing for Walter and Michael to offend Brent just to defend him, but now Brent was willing to offer sixteen billion dollars to see him dead.
Many bidders here couldn't come up with sixteen billion dollars even if they sold everything they owned.
This way was insane.
Delbert continued, "Mr. Lewis, you offering sixteen billion dollars for a favor shows you value me. I'm not ungrateful. Today, I'll give you James' head as a gift."
Brent's eyes lit up, and he laughed heartily, "Great, I won't be modest then. Thank you, Mr. Loomis!"
"Then please wait a moment, Mr. Lewis. I'll bring you James' head to entertain you," Delbert said, his demeanor suddenly changing. If he was a menacing tiger before, now he was a world-destroying dragon, capable of annihilating everything with a single breath.
Walter's heart raced as he shouted, "Delbert, are you declaring war on the Jenkins family? James is a guest of the Jenkins family. If you dare to act, the Jenkins family will never forgive you!"
But Delbert sneered, "The Jenkins family? What do I have to fear?"
Brent also laughed loudly, "Walter, you're trying to use the Jenkins family to pressure Mr. Loomis? From now on, Mr. Loomis is a guest of the Lewis family. If you touch Mr. Loomis, it's a fight to the death with the Lewis family. Walter, are you sure you can represent the Jenkins family?"
Walter was furious, but more than that, he felt bitter. He really had no way to deal with Brent. In terms of family power, the Jenkins family was already slightly weaker than the Lewis family. Now, with Delbert's addition, the Jenkins family was even less of a match.
It seemed Delbert intended to bind himself to the Lewis family, making them even stronger.
Now, it was clear Brent and Delbert were determined to kill James.
Walter was anxious and even a bit resentful of James. He had warned James that Brent was not to be trifled with, that revenge could wait, and not to provoke Brent at the auction. But James had stubbornly gone ahead anyway.
Even Michael thought James was stubborn this time. Michael thought James was still young and couldn't bear any humiliation, and now James was paying the price.
As for Tobias and Rhys, they were overjoyed, feeling vindicated from head to toe, and the humiliation from Brent earlier had vanished.
This world revered the strong, and Delbert was undoubtedly a strong man. A bit of a temper was nothing.
The others also felt that James had brought this upon himself and was undeserving of any sympathy.
All of individuals in the auction chose to remain silent, pretending not to see.
Even the auction organizers did the same; they didn't want to offend Brent.
The main point was, in their eyes, James was just a small fry. They had never heard of him before. He must have used some method to cozy up to Walter and Michael, but he was insignificant.
Such a small figure, if killed, so be it.
If Brent wanted to kill Walter, they wouldn't stand by idly.
At this moment, James stood up and said to Delbert, "Brent, do you think buying Delbert means you can kill me?"
With James's words, everyone was momentarily stunned, thinking that James remained stubborn even in the face of death.
Walter and Michael were also terrified, thinking James was in big trouble.
The opponent was Delbert, a renowned expert in Starlight State. Over the past decade, countless famed masters had met their demise at his hands.
Delbert's reputation was entirely self-made.
Walter hurriedly grabbed James, "James, don't say such things. Delbert's martial arts are unfathomable. It's said he's already in the third stage! Mr. Smith, you're no match for him."
Michael also said, "He's right, James, just endure it. Revenge can wait."
"James, I overestimated you. Even in the face of death, you still dare to be so obstinate. Do you really think you are God's favored child, immune to any consequences no matter the trouble you cause?" Brent remarked, exuding confidence as he leisurely sipped his drink. To him, James was already a dead man. "Let me tell you this, neither heaven nor earth can save you now!"
Delbert also laughed, "Jerk, you're just a first-stage martial artist, and you dare to be arrogant? You've offended Mr. Lewis, drop dead!"
With that, Delbert stopped wasting time. He bent his legs and then jumped, like a giant spring full of explosive power. In the blink of an eye, he shot towards James, his laughter echoing as he leaped over the heads of over a hundred guests, filling them with bone-chilling fear.
They truly realized that no matter how wealthy they were, in front of someone beyond ordinary humans, they were still so weak.
With a heavy thud, like an elephant stomping the ground, Delbert landed in front of James, shattering the floor tiles like two spiderweb patterns.
Facing Delbert's pressure, Walter's body trembled, feeling a primal fear, wanting to flee.
As for Michael and the other ordinary individuals, they were even worse off. Except for Michael, who could barely stand, everyone else knelt down.
Michael could stand, but his body trembled violently, sweat pouring from his forehead, as if he could collapse at any moment.
