Chapter 57: Tumultuous Events XIII (2)
"130 talets, 230 silver!"
"180 talets!"
"200 talets!"
The prices of items began to surge at an alarming rate.
As Bahamut witnessed the escalating figures, a sense of relief washed over him. The increments were notably higher than the usual 1 or 2 talets for other items.
In any case, most of the profits generated here belonged to Bahamut, and observing the item prices climb gave him the sensation of watching real-time stock prices.
"500 talets!"
"540 talets!"
Among the auctioned items, the Heart of Incra commanded the highest price.
Despite that, Bahamut nodded slowly, observing the relentless bidding.
I seeso, those who had been staying silent had their eyes on this item
A sudden realization dawned on him, contemplating the missed opportunity if he hadn't sold it. A faint, bitter smile crossed Bahamut's face without him noticing.
The soaring price range finally hit a ceiling, and a decrease became apparent.
"720 talets, 200 silver!"
"720 talets, 201 silver!"
"!"
The familiar voice echoed, drawing attention and expressions of surprise and annoyance from the crowd.
Unquestionably, the voice belonged to the silver-haired woman from before.
Haa that woman again
Wait a minute, is this for real? 720 talets. Does a woman toying with a silver coin possess such wealth?
Amidst amazement at her unimaginable financial power, people were growing irritated with her recurring presence.
"720 talets 202 silver!"
"Yes?"
A voice sounded immediately after.
A nobleman, the one who bid just before the silver-haired woman, faced her without uttering a word for a moment.
And
"720 talets, 203 silver!"
"720 talets, 204 silver!"
The aristocrat countered the silver-haired woman's bid precisely.
Some quietly complained, yet the woman continued raising her bid by 1 silver coin, displaying no signs of frustration.
"720 talets, 220 silver"
"720 talets, 221 silver!"
""
This petty pride battle became tedious. As it unfolded, the aristocrat's face grew more elated, while the silver-haired woman's expression became increasingly blank, a hint of annoyance creeping in.
This person dares to challenge me
Thinking so, the silver-haired woman slowly began to gather mana.
In this crowded space, stunning the annoying person before her was a simple task.
Just as she prepared to strike at the smiling man who had fallen silent for a moment
"920 talets."
"!"
"9.. 920?"
A calm voice emanated from somewhere.
Despite the calmness, astonishment spread across faces at the staggering amount, including Bahamut.
920 talets? That's almost half of our investment in Eastern trade this timewho would pay such a colossal sum
All eyes, including Bahamut's, turned automatically to one personsomeone concealed in a maroon robe.
If not for the distinctive voice, it would be challenging to discern the person's gender.
"Who is it?
"I dont know.. But no matter how much, 920 taletsit is clear that the person is a rich man beyond imagination..
People's interest split into two: who could effortlessly call such an amount, and whether the silver-haired woman, who incrementally raised silver coins, would respond.
Contrary to many peoples expectations, the silver-haired woman refrained from bidding further.
"Yes! The Heart of Incra is sold at an amazing price of 920 talets!"
As the presenter announced this, a woman in a maroon robe produced a seemingly weighty money bag and handed it over, taking the jewel in question.
Anyway that kid is quite good, but she often jokes around too much
With that thought, she left the place of the auction, and the silver-haired woman, after observing for a while, re-engaged in the auction.
