A flash of gold gleamed between Leander’s fingers. It was unmistakably a one–dollar coin, leaving the entire crowd stunned.

Leander did not seem bothered in the slightest. He raised the coin high with a relaxed smile.

“This sword is already this worn down and has existed for far too long. I bid one dollar. That should be enough, right?”

After speaking, he flicked his fingers. The coin traced a clean arc through the air and flew onto the auction stage, where Julian caught it in his hand.

“This guy…” Julian stared at the completely ordinary coin, momentarily speechless as he shook his head inwardly.

Earlier, he had already told Leander that the final ownership of the sword would be given to him. Still, Julian had expected Leander to at least present something valuable so that handing over the broken sword would not appear overly biased.

Instead, Leander had produced nothing more than a one–dollar coin. Compared to the priceless treasures offered by the other four King Phase masters, the difference was enormous. Yet in the end, Julian still had no choice but to hand the sword to Leander.

The situation left him caught between laughter and frustration.

The others, of course, had no idea what Julian was thinking. The Mistwalker let out a mocking snort.

“Jeff, are you joking with us? If you have no intention of bidding, then stop interfering. You think a one–dollar coin lets you compete

with us?”

Wilbur smiled faintly and shook his head.

“Sovereign Ashcroft, that joke of yours is certainly interesting.”

Eldon did not even glance at Leander. He simply gave a cold laugh and sat back down, while Aciel’s sharp gaze moved between Leander and Julian, as if he had noticed something unusual.

Facing the questioning from two century–old King Phase masters, Leander tilted his head toward the Mistwalker and lightly wagged a finger.

“You misunderstood. I am not competing with you.

“I intend to take this sword.”

The moment those words fell, all four King Phase masters‘ expressions shifted.

“What did you say?”

A sharp killing intent surged in Eldon’s eyes.

Stedty

“Jeff, you are a newly risen King Phase master, and you do have some ability. But do not assume that makes you untouchable. With the four of us here, you still dare speak so arrogantly?

“The ownership of this broken sword depends on strength and capability. On what basis do you claim it for yourself alone?”

Leander kept one hand in his pocket, completely unconcerned.

“This broken sword currently belongs to the Lowell family. Who receives it is decided by the Lowell family. Why not ask the host?”

He lifted a hand and pointed toward Julian, having already exchanged looks with him earlier.

Julian frowned slightly. Leander’s move was effectively forcing him to publicly grant ownership of the broken sword to him. Doing so would immediately place Leander at the center of hostility from the four century–old King Phase masters.

Clearly, Leander had decided to drop all restraint. Julian could not understand why he had suddenly chosen such a direct and domineering approach.

Following Leander’s gesture, Eldon and the others all turned toward Julian.

“Julian, what exactly does he mean?”

Each of the four century–old King Phase masters possessed immense experience. From that single sentence alone, they had already sensed something was off.

Julian knew there was no turning back now. He immediately reached out and drew the broken sword into his hand.

“As Sovereign Ashcroft has stated, this broken sword will be given to Sovereign Ashcroft!”

Holding the sword toward Leander, his voice carried across the entire auction hall.

The instant his words fell, four overwhelming pressures descended upon the venue. Each pressure formed its own domain, creating violent currents that pressed down over the auction hall. The entire structure trembled as though it might collapse at any moment.

Everyone present, whether Transcendent Realm martial artists, Martial Sovereigns, or even prodigies like Violet and Claire, felt their bodies suddenly grow heavy, their feet nearly sinking into the ground as if gravity itself had doubled.

“Julian!” The Mistwalker’s expression turned icy as he shouted. “We have known each other for a hundred years, and you dare play tricks behind our backs? We each offered priceless ancient treasures, while Jeff presented nothing but a coin, yet yo ended the sword to him. You reached an agreement beforehand, did you not?”

Killing intent surged from Eldon as Primordial Energy began roaring around him.

“Julian, our friendship runs deep, but today, anyone who stands in my way of obtaining that sword becomes my enemy do not blame me for showing no mercy!”

Blood–red energy gathered in Wilbur’s palm as his eyes narrowed.

“Mr. Lowell, the Lowell family auction has lasted for a century. This is the tenth session, always known for fairness and integrity. Today, you have deeply disappointed me.”

Aciel stood with his hands behind his back, smiling faintly, yet the abyss–like pressure surrounding him clearly revealed his stance

Each of the four century–old King Phase masters was determined to claim the broken sword rumored to contain the secret at immortality. Their battle intent surged skyward, none willing to back down.

Standing atop the auction stage, Julian felt their combined pressure threatening to tear the entire hall apart. His brows tightened.

Though he himself was a King Phase master, facing all four at once placed immense strain upon him. Just as their combined aura locked onto him, Leander finally moved.
