Chapter 533: Bidding for the Mermen
Meanwhile, back in the auction, Barnaby raised the vial of Pixie Dust in the air and announced its new bid.
"1 million gold coins! Will anyone try and beat the Mermen’s bid?"
KNOCK!
That knock came directly from one of the VIP suites in the auction, meaning that they were part of the Major Faction.
"The Gilderaan company wishes to bid 1.5 million gold coins!" Barnaby announced.
This made a lot of companies seriously consider bidding for the Pixie Dust. If even one of the Major Factions thought that there was something worthwhile with the Pixie Dust, then there must be truly something good there.
"This is Alaric’s first bid! No one’s going to come close in bidding against him."
"I don’t know. If the Magic Tower or the Royal Family tries to fight him on this, then I think he’ll lose against them."
"Damn. I thought that the Pixie Dust was just a worthless item. I was even contemplating on buying it for my kids as a toy! Now that the Major Factions have shown their interest, this item is now out of our league!"
Many companies thought that no other organization would fight Alaric on this one.
But it was in that moment that six knocks echoed out into the auction simultaneously, making Barnaby confused.
It wasn’t until one of his employees came up to him on the stage and whispered something in his ear did he finally understand what was happening.
