Because even if they find so clues from these forged docunts, the intelligent brain Zero, which continuously monitors the network, would notice imdiately and forge new fake identities that are hard to verify.
After all, almost all human identity data in the world is now entered into computers and connected to the network. With Zero being a dominant presence in the network world, its forged identities are almost more real than real.
When Will heard the report from his subordinate, he was even more surprised. At the sa ti, he had already guessed that the opponent’s information was definitely not as simple as it seed on the surface.
And now, the intervention at this mont was clearly preditated. However, Will and d, being core mbers of two major conglorates, were naturally not scared into retreating by Wu Hao’s sudden offer of $5 billion.
Thus, the two almost instantly reached so sort of agreent and instructed their subordinates, causing the auction price to be raised to $5.05 billion.
The first bid was made by the Dupont family, representing Will, while d Rothschild quickly arranged for his subordinate to approach Wu Hao’s seat in the auction hall and quietly convey a ssage to him.
“Sir, our boss hopes you will withdraw from this auction.” The ssenger was a middle-aged white man who looked quite gentlemanly, but Wu Hao didn’t even bother to look at him directly.
He rely lifted his eyelids lazily and said, “Which of your bosses is that?”
Seeing Wu Hao’s inquiry, the middle-aged white man thought the matter would soon be resolved and replied with so arrogance, “Our boss is Mr. d Rothschild.”
“Rothschild? The family that claims to be the richest in the world? Since your boss’s family is so wealthy, if you want to secure this item, you’d better offer a higher price! Otherwise, I might just keep going.” Wu Hao replied slowly with a sowhat joking tone, which sounded particularly harsh to the ssenger. He understood that the other party was not going to give up the auction so easily.
“I will convey your words to our boss. I hope you will remain this relaxed after the auction ends.” With that, he did not engage in further conversation with Wu Hao, rely giving him a look before leaving with a clear threat in his words.
Seeing the middle-aged white man leave, Wu Hao just sneered, “If you want to threaten , you’ve picked the wrong person.”
At this mont, Zero’s voice ca through the earpiece: “Boss, do you need to do anything later?”
“Not for now. Just keep an eye on them.”
“Got it! Understood!” Zero replied.
On the other side, upon learning the ssage conveyed by the middle-aged white man, d imdiately found Will. “Will, it seems that our mysterious opponent will not give up easily. If we want to secure this teorite at the auction, we might need to pay a hefty price.”
“So, what do you plan to do?” Will asked, sowhat knowingly. He also understood that since Wu Hao had intervened at this point, it was clear that a simple threat wouldn’t make Wu Hao back down.
However, if they continued to fight Wu Hao at the auction, even if they eventually secured the teorite, the final cost would be too great for them.
Although neither of their families lacked money, the scale of their families ant that every expenditure was significant. Spending huge sums on a single project like this was not in their families’ best interest.
“Isn’t my plan clear to you? Given that either of our two families competing with the opponent at the auction would ultimately be against our family’s interests, my plan is not to keep competing with the opponent at the auction. I’ve already arranged for my subordinates to investigate the opponent’s background and identity,” d said. He didn’t continue, knowing that Will understood the implications.
“Alright! Let’s proceed as you suggest. After this is over, we’ll divide the teorite according to the way we previously discussed.” Will agreed without hesitation, also confirming their previously discussed collaboration thod.
Thus, after reaching a consensus, the two of them, with great tacit understanding, started to outbid Wu Hao. In just a few minutes, the original bid of slightly over $5 billion was driven up to over $6 billion.
The rapid price surge was mainly because Wu Hao kept adding several hundred million dollars at a ti, behaving as if money was no object.
As Wu Hao and Will d took turns bidding, everyone present understood that the man in seat 66 was clearly determined to go head-to-head with the two major conglorates.
While they watched the excitent, the auction’s organizer also received a call from Will and d. “Mr. Hill, as the organizers of this auction, shouldn’t you conduct a thorough investigation of all the guests attending the auction? Now, with the final item auctioned to a sky-high price of $7.5 billion, aren’t you worried about whether the opponent will be able to pay this amount?”
The organizing family was also a powerful family in the US and Europe. Although they were not afraid of either Will or d’s families, they did not want to offend them. Therefore, when Will and d were bidding earlier, Hill had intentionally delayed ti to allow them to discuss the teorite’s allocation.
However, just as they were about to finish their discussion, Wu Hao, an ordinary guest, suddenly appeared and took turns bidding with them. Hill was pleased that the teorite’s price had risen so high but knew that if he didn’t do sothing, he would likely offend both Will and d’s families.
“Mr. Will, Mr. d, regarding the information on this seat 66 guest, we only conducted a preliminary financial investigation. We did not look into specific identity details. However, I can reveal to both of you that the current bidding price is still within this guest’s paynt capacity, as the bank financial proof provided by the guest shows they have over $15 billion in their Swiss bank account.”
