Edge of the Apocalypse

Maine's heavy bet immediately made Ans's worth soar, and his ranking also rose. He jumped from sixth to second, just behind Allen.

"The two tons of platinum hope is not your private treasury, Mr. Main." Horn looked at the butler and nodded.

"Allen, two tons of platinum." The butler raised **** and said.

Maine's expression sank immediately. Horn has been acting in a low-key manner since he was politically suppressed by him twenty years ago and his family ranking slipped. But today, it seems to be against myself. He frowned, and with his shrewdness, he couldn't think of a reason. In the previous death arena, there is no shortage of wealthy families who have spent a lot of money on a certain player, but it is rare to invest 30 million in a teenager like Horne.

"Ans, two tons of platinum." Maine raised his hand and made another big bet.

At this moment, all the credibility platforms of the federal government on the floating island are constantly refreshing the worth of Allen and Ans. Behind the fierce competition between the two teenagers in the rankings, many people saw that there was a big man behind the scenes making big moves, which made some people follow the trend and bet on the two teenagers, so their scores were almost in seconds. The unit is changing.

Horn didn't change his face and winked at the butler again.

"Allen, add two tons of platinum." The butler said immediately.

There was silence in the banquet hall. Beskode, who had been silent for twenty years, made a big bet of 50 million federal currency for a young man on the surface, which absolutely refreshed the personal betting record of previous death rings. Now, the nobles in the hall are all looking at Maine with a good show, and they are all wondering whether Maine will continue to increase.

Dense beads of sweat were oozing out of Maine's forehead, and four tons of platinum was already the largest fund he could use within his authority. If you want to continue to add weight, you need to get the approval of the family council. Although he is the patriarch, he is not unscrupulous.

"Five tons of platinum, Mr. Horn, I'm very puzzled. Given your family's current situation, can this huge sum of money be paid out, isn't it a bad check?" Maine grinned reluctantly.

The butler Heisingdang drew out a cheque without expression and handed it to Altais next to him: "This is a bearer cheque from the Bethkode family. The withdrawal amount is exactly 50 million. Mr. Altais can rely on the cheque soon. Pick up five tons of platinum from our family warehouse, or just use it directly."

When Altais received the check from the butler, Horn looked at his still young opponent and said, "Mr. Maine wants to continue to increase?"

Maine took out a handkerchief from his jacket pocket and wiped his sweat. "No, I'm a businessman. It would be irrational to bet money on a project for which the income cannot even be equal to the principal just for anger. ."

Then he said to Altais: "I will ask the secretary to bring the check later."

"I have something to do, so I'll leave." Maine returned to his former manners, but anyone could tell that he had lost the arrogance he had when he entered the door. When he was leaving, he turned his head back, put Horn's shoulders on his shoulders like an old friend, and slightly lowered his body and said, "For the sake of friends for many years, Mr. Horn. I have to remind you that Beth Kod may The background is profound. But among the younger generation, I don't see any capable successors at all. If Bethcade has no rivals after Mr. Horn, I will be quite lonely."

After speaking, laughed and left.

Horn reached out and brushed his shoulders, his eyes fell on Alan's head, and he said in a voice that only he could hear: "Idiot, Bethcade's future is here. Soon, you will have a rival. , Dear Main Alexander!"

On the left side of the banquet hall, there is a small private room. The wall on one side of the private room is coated with SLR glass. People in the private room can see what is happening in the banquet hall. At this moment, standing beside the SLR glass window was a tall, straight man. Under the rare black short hair, there is a European face. The deep contours are like the statue of David under Michelangelo's carving knife. The black pupils, the tall bridge of the nose and the well-groomed beard around the chin all emphasize the majesty characteristic of this man. .

In the banquet hall, men generally wear decent suits. But this man was wearing military uniform and military boots, with white gloves on both hands, and a light saber on his waist. The scabbard of the saber was white gold with dark gold patterns on it. The cup-shaped hand guard and the hilt were silvery white, and the extremely smooth polished metal reflected another figure nearby.

"Horn, this old thing is rare today. Poor Maine wanted to get a bargain. When I bite it down, I realized that the bone of Bethcod was still so hard." The man in military uniform smiled faintly. Dao, his voice is thick and slightly hoarse, which makes his voice more magnetic.

The man next to him whispered: "Tommyin's blessing is just a bet between him and Horne. We draw 10% of the handling fee from it, which is a lot of money."

"However, Horne is old after all. Being so stimulated by Maine, he made such a heavy bet. I am afraid he regrets it now." The man smiled.

The man in military uniform said: "Just listening to these words, you know that you can only be a clerk, Vincent, and you cannot become a character like Horn."

The man next to him was taken aback for a moment and hurriedly lowered his head, his eyes flashed with dissatisfaction, but his tone was very respectful: "I would like to hear more."

"If you have seen Horn’s life, you know that this old fox would never make meaningless investments. Do you think that a mere Maine can make him lose his sense? That’s too high to see Maine. It will give Alexander the opportunity to take advantage of it, not because Maine is capable, but because he is hit hard and frustrated, that will make the family ranking decline.” At this point, the man in uniform paused: “Otherwise, three Maine is not Horn's opponent either."

"Look at it, Horn must have put his heavy bet on that boy for a reason."

"Your Excellency," Vincent said respectfully.

He also said: "According to your opinion, which teenager has a higher chance of winning this death ring?"

"Who knows, even the little guy that Horne is optimistic about may not be able to win. After all, there are so many unexpected things in this world." The man in uniform walked towards the other door: "Besides, it's no more than one thing. A game played by children. Once every two years, let the untouchables on the surface hold a little hope, so that their eyes will be on the game and they will not care about other things."

"Some things I don't want them to care about." He emphasized: "Our real stage is on the outer field battlefield, my dear Vincent. I heard that our Greed Wolf general is coming back, and I hope she can bring me good news."

"General Windsor Bellow is young and capable, and he will certainly not disappoint you."

Opening the door, the man in uniform seemed to think of something, "Oh" said, "Vincent, I will invest 1 million in my little Allen in my name."

"Your Excellency..."

"No, this is a tribute to Horn. Bethkod has been silent for twenty years. It seems that something is about to happen. I'm very happy, nothing more."

Leaving this sentence, he walked out the door. The clerk lowered his head behind the door and said softly: "Yes, Your Excellency Mobit."

The man in military uniform is the current Federal President.

The rain on the floating islands of Babylon continued. In the training center building, Allen was still thrown to the ground by Hughton to practice his "spin" technique. The world seems immutable, but in fact, everyone's destiny is undergoing drastic changes.

At the end of the third week, the ranking score was updated again. Allen remained firmly at the top of the list, but Lucy slipped to third place. Ans came from behind, rising several places in a row, closely following Allen.

This time, Allen received a set of individual battlefield defense light armor, a precious source of stimulation potion, and other fragmentary rewards. Among these rewards, the former two are the most precious ~www.readwn.com~ Individual defense light armor can be divided into tactical uniforms and armor components, which provide Allen with extra defense. The source force stimulating potion works as its name suggests, and it can stimulate the user's source force growth rate.

With the addition of the fire berries and physical strengthening potions before, Allen finally formed the fifth source force vortex on the weekend of the third week. But when he walked out of the training area, he looked unhappy.

Hughton took a sip and asked, "What's the matter, kid?"

"Mr. Hughton, I have formed the fifth source force vortex." Allen said.

Hughton looked at him up and down: "This is a good thing, why are you frustrated like losing all your wealth."

"But, it's too slow." Alan sat down and Shaoyoung sighed: "According to you, it takes at least nine source force vortexes to hit the first barrier. Now it's only a week before the death ring begins. , But I only have five source vortexes."

"Satisfaction, kid." Hughton shook his head and said, "Your growth rate is already very fast. What's more, there is no shortcut to the growth of source power. You can only accumulate through time and diligence."

"Is there no way to grow faster?" Allen raised his head and asked unwillingly.

Hughton put down the bottle and said, "It's not without it, but most people don't like that method. But you don't care, even if you don't like it, you will soon be exposed to it."

"What method?" Allen's eyes lit up. Now for him, as long as he can refine the nine Genesis Vortex as soon as possible, he is willing to try any method.

"Keep fighting with war." Hughton burped alcohol, and the air was full of strong alcohol smell: "To put it bluntly, it is fighting. Fighting constantly, constantly letting myself wander between life and death, this is what I know Yes, the fastest way to accumulate energy."
