Chapter 1841: Refinement Adamantine
"Who is in that viewing box? He's unwilling to step down even for the famed Thunder family from the Divine Kingdom of Aethercloud. Moreover, seeing how calmly he spoke, he possesses great confidence. Clearly, he doesn't fear the Thunder family..."
"None of us can afford to offend the Thunder family, nor can we offend that existence who does not even fear the Thunder family. Whatever. We won't take part in the bidding war for the Soul-drawing Lotus..."
"We can't afford to offend either of them, so we must never state a price. If we do state a price, they'll probably bear grudges with us even if one of them do obtain it in the end..."
...
All the people from the Overgod organisations made up their minds. They were all extremely fearful of the Thunder family.
Over ninety percent of the people with the bloodline of the Thunder family would comprehend the Laws of Lightning once they reached Godhood, which was one of the laws with the greatest offensive power. The special bloodline of the clan shocked everyone, and it also filled them with fear towards it.
Combined with the existence of two Overgods, with one having reached late Overgod in particular, the Thunder family could be crowned as the greatest clan in the region without any dispute. Only the royal families of the divine kingdoms would be able to keep them at bay.
Moreover, a Godking had even appeared in the clan a hundred thousand years ago. Although he had vanished mysteriously, there was no news of his death. If the missing Godking was included, then even the royal families would fear the Thunder family.
Jian Chen's bid made the four brothers reveal rather ugly expressions. The Soul-drawing Lotus was just too important to them, as it was directly connected to their grand elder's life.
"Greetings from the Lightning Brothers. However, we are in desperate need of the Soul-drawing Lotus, so we must obtain it no matter what. I hope you can stand down. We will be filled with gratitude if you do that," one of the four brothers said. Although he spoke calmly, his voice was filled with a sense of forcefulness, and it was like a threat.
They had to obtain this item no matter what. That was more than enough for Jian Chen to understand that even if he truly managed to buy the Soul-drawing Lotus, the four brothers would probably use everything they had to claim the lotus. That naturally included theft.
"I'm also trying to save the life of a friend by buying this lotus. As a result, I can't let you have it. Moreover, I too have made up my mind, just like you four brothers," Jian Chen responded firmly. He did not leave them any grounds for discussion.
Everyone immediately became astounded when they heard Jian Chen's words. Even the people from other Overgod clans looked towards Jian Chen's viewing box. They also wondered whether Jian Chen really possessed the strength where there was no need for him to fear the Thunder family since he spoke like that, or was it because he had no idea about the power of the Thunder family.
The four brothers fell silent. Currently, their faces had become terrifyingly sunken. At the same time, they experienced some resentment, questioning why the ancestor did not place more importance on the grand elder and was only willing to spend three blocks of high grade divine crystals to save him. Otherwise, they would not end up in such an awkward situation.
"We will pay three million and five hundred thousand high grade divine crystals. That's all the wealth on the four of us. Sir, do you still plan on contending? Please think it through before you say anything," one of the four brothers said coldly. The extra five hundred thousand high grade divine crystals came from all the savings of the four brothers.
