Chapter 525: Bidding commences
"You...you know the Dwarves?" Max asked, astounded.
"Yeah. Me and the Dwarven King have a business agreement with each other. They give us Damascus Steel, we give them beer. You should come visit the Nation of Reborn soon so that you can see them for yourselves."
Max and the Vanderbilt family were flabbergasted to find out that Michael had connections with the infamously anti-social Dwarves. While everyone was fighting for the ’great’ quality Damascus steel armor in the auction, Michael had so many of them that his ’lowest’ quality armor was something that even the Major Factions would covet.
It was a culture-shock to see how much the Rebornians treated this treasure worth more than 2 million gold coins as something worthless.
"2.5 million bid!" Barnaby shouted excitedly to the crowd. "The Pyramidic Cuisine has finally entered the bidding, ladies and gentlemen."
Finally, after this enormous bid, the knocks stopped completely. No one was willing to increase the price even more than that.
2.5 million? That’s pretty good, Michael thought to himself. He was kind of regretting not putting a few of their Dwarven items up for auction seeing as how valuable they seemed to everyone in Metropolis.
"Going once...going twice...declared! 2.5 million is now the accepted price for the auction bid!"
The crowd clapped and cheered, turning their heads up to look at their private suite.
So, do they get the armor now? What about that duel-aspect that Barnaby was talking about?
He noticed that despite the auction bid reaching a peak, there weren’t any celebrations from the Pyramidic Cuisine at all. In fact, even the other companies were behaving even more seriously, leaning forward with focus, as if the real fight had just begun.
