Apocalypse Architect: A Tower Defense LitRPG

Chapter 100: I’ll Help You to the End

The subsequent auction items were basically not very interesting. Everyone’s interest wasn’t as high as before, each one seemingly waiting for the auction to end. Seeing everyone’s reaction, as the secondary auctioneer, Julian also knew not to waste any more time. So the following progress became very fast.

Jax secretly calculated the time in his heart, but because he didn’t have the list of auction items in his hand, he didn’t know what would come next. And just then, suddenly the auction room’s door was opened, and a waiter dressed in black walked in. The other party quickly came to Slade’s front, then whispered something in his ear. Slade’s face grew more and more excited as he listened, and the cigar in his hand trembled slightly.

“I didn’t expect this kid to actually cooperate with the second brother! It seems it should be the second brother who ordered him to come! This makes things easier!” “I didn’t expect the second brother to be so rich! Fifty Tier 3 Cores, he just took them out! Hmph! Now let’s see how you explain this to the Old Man!”

After saying this, Slade set his gaze on Jax. Then the other party stood up, threw the cigar in his hand on the ground, and walked straight towards Jax. People nearby saw Slade come to Jax’s side, and each of their faces showed a trace of shock.

“Hiss! Could Slade be about to deal with this mysterious guy? Did he find out some background about this guy?” “Haha! Now there’s going to be a good show! The auction was making me a bit sleepy! Just in time for some fun!” “Looks like there’s going to be a big fight! I wonder if this guy called Jax still has any background!” “Tsk tsk tsk! Just wait! We’ll know in a moment! Everyone, don’t be impatient!”

Everyone craned their necks in anticipation. And Julian, standing on the stage, saw that no one was raising their paddle, and everyone’s gaze was fixed on Jax, immediately sensing something was wrong.

“Hmm? What’s going on? Slade is going to find this… this person is actually Jax! When did he become a client?” Julian was somewhat stunned.

At this moment, Slade came behind Jax and lightly coughed. Hearing someone cough behind him, Jax’s train of thought was interrupted. He turned his head and saw Slade standing behind him. “Do you have something?” Slade smiled, then took a wanted notice from his pocket and placed it on Jax’s table. “Jax, explain this! Why is your name on this wanted notice?”

Hearing Slade’s words, everyone present was stunned. They each craned their necks to look at the wanted notice on the table. They saw a somewhat damaged wanted notice with a person on it. On it, written in bright red large characters, were the two words ‘Jax,’ and above the characters was a somewhat blurry photo. People standing in the front immediately recognized that the person in this picture was actually Jax.

“I didn’t expect the person on this wanted notice to really be him! How did a wanted criminal come here?” “Wow! I’m directly amazed! This wanted criminal is simply too awesome! He actually came openly to this place to participate in the auction!” “Impressive! This is truly impressive! Swaggering here, and no one noticed! I have to say this person’s courage is really big!” “Now there’s a good show to watch! Is this person’s brain broken? Isn’t this walking into a trap?”

But soon someone saw that the time on this wanted notice was already several months ago. Jax lightly smiled: “That’s right! The person on this wanted notice is me! Is there a problem?” Slade snorted from his nostrils and said: “Is there a problem? You have such big guts, you actually dare to come to this kind of place to participate in the auction!” After saying this, Slade immediately shouted to the people behind: “Someone! Arrest this wanted criminal!”

Then, Slade cupped his hands to the people nearby and said: “Everyone! Today this wanted criminal was caught by me, but the bounty on him, everyone has a share! Although it’s not much! But those who see it get a share! Don’t be polite! Later I’ll invite everyone to eat at the restaurant downstairs!”

Everyone immediately became interested. “Haha! Slade, you’re too polite! Although the bounty on this wanted notice isn’t much, it’s enough for a meal!” “Let’s go eat together! I didn’t expect to get a free meal today! Really didn’t come for nothing!” “Haha! Today wasn’t in vain! Later let’s have a good meal! We’ve been up half the night! Really a bit hungry!” “Catching a wanted criminal, this kind of thing actually let us encounter it, truly once in a hundred years! This wanted criminal really isn’t afraid of death!” “Do you think he might be doing it on purpose!”

Slade’s face carried a trace of a mocking expression as he looked at Jax: “Do you have anything else to confess?” Jax, however, didn’t care at all: “Did you get it wrong! How old is this wanted notice! You didn’t even go check, this wanted notice has already been revoked!” Slade immediately frowned upon hearing this: “What? Revoked?” “That’s right! Then you’ll have to trouble your little brother underlings to investigate again! It’s already been revoked! Please! You all don’t need to be so jumpy! It’s just a wanted notice! No need to be so nervous!”

After saying this, Jax stood up and looked at the people behind him. The originally smoothly proceeding auction was suddenly stopped by Slade’s actions. Hazel and Julian, standing on the stage, were both somewhat confused.

“Hazel, this…” “Don’t call me Hazel! I’m not familiar with you!”

Hazel put on a cold expression, came down from the stage, and walked into the crowd. After getting inside, she then found out what exactly had happened. So she whispered in Jax’s ear: “You were actually wanted?”

“Ahem! It’s already been revoked! It’s fine! It won’t implicate you! By the way! Elena…” “Don’t worry! I’ve already had someone send Elena to my room! Later we’ll take her and leave! By the way! Her body is fine!” Jax looked at her: “Thank you!” “Alright! First deal with the current matter!”

At this moment, the people beside them instantly understood the relationship between the two. Slade, on the side, looked at Jax and laughed: “Fine! Even if your wanted notice has been revoked, but you just spent fifty Tier 3 Cores, are you sure you have this much money?”

Jax looked at him and smiled: “What does this have to do with you? When the auction ends, I’ll hand over the money! What does it have to do with you?” “Kid! Looks like you still don’t know my identity!” “Aren’t you just Sawyer’s useless older brother! I know you!”

Hearing Jax say this about him, Slade immediately frowned tightly: “What did you say? What am I?” “What? Your ears aren’t working well? Go to the hospital to check your ears! Don’t end up disabled later!” “Kid! You damn… stop right there! You’re not going anywhere today!”

After saying this, Slade said to Julian on the side: “I’m buying all the remaining auction items! The auction is now over!” Hearing Slade say this, Julian was immediately stunned, but he still wanted to say something. However, seeing the other party’s unfriendly look, he could only nod. “Alright! Since that’s the case! Then the auction is now over! That… everyone who got auction items can now go pay and complete the procedures!”

Slade looked at Jax and said coldly: “Since you say you have money, then go pay! I want to see how you can come up with so many Tier 3 Cores! You should know, I know the funds in my brother Sawyer’s hands! Even if he gave you all his money, it couldn’t possibly be fifty Tier 3 Cores!”

Then, Slade saw a manager walk in from outside. The other party was the manager responsible for this auction, mainly handling some settlement issues after the auction. The other party walked over and looked at everyone: “Everyone! Is the auction over?”

Julian nodded: “Yes, the auction is over! Manager, look at this…” Then he recounted what had just happened, adding fuel to the fire, because he had a good relationship with Slade and had also developed a grudge with Jax. So he now desperately wanted to see Jax arrested.

“What? You say this person has no money? He came intentionally to cause trouble?” “Yes! Manager! Look, this person is just pretending! You can tell at a glance he has no money! How about having someone arrest him first! To prevent him from running away later!” “Hmm!”

Then, the manager waved his hand behind him, and immediately over a dozen guards holding guns came to the central area and surrounded Jax. The manager came to Jax’s front and looked at him: “This gentleman, you just spent fifty Tier 3 Cores, but we received a complaint saying you don’t have this much money! You’d better cooperate with us, take out your Cores, otherwise, we may take coercive measures against you!”

Hearing the other party’s words, Jax lowered his head and looked at the time: “Don’t be impatient! The other people haven’t paid yet! What’s the rush!” “Hmph! You’re still pretending? I think you just have no money! Manager! Why are you being polite! Arrest him!”

The other people on the side also looked at Jax with excitement. These people were all some rich kids, so they were here to watch the show, and the kind who love to see drama. Jax helplessly took out eleven Tier 3 Cores from his pocket.

“Here, first give you eleven, the rest I’ll give you later!” And Hazel on the side also directly took out a card from her pocket and handed it over. “There are ten more Tier 3 Cores in here!”

Julian, standing on the side, saw Hazel actually helping Jax pay and his face twitched. “Hazel, you’re crazy! Why are you helping this swindler pay?”

Hazel looked at Julian: “What did you say? What did you call him?” Julian felt a bit scared under her gaze: “He… he’s just a swindler! Didn’t you see, he can’t even gather enough Cores!” “Hmph! I’ll cover the rest for him!”

After saying this, Hazel actually reached out and took Jax’s hand. “Don’t worry! I’ll help you to the end!”
