Chapter 545 - 10,000,000
To everyone’s despair, the bidding continued even after the price had exceeded 6,000,000 gold coins. However, the bidders slowed down in placing their bids.
Tedya from the Dark Blade was the first to give up, even though it was a good opportunity for him to curry favor with Sendros. However, because of how unpredictable Sendros was, he was not confident that he would receive benefits from Sendros that were equal to the price that he’d have paid.
When the bidding price reached 7,000,000 gold coins, Arathor, the castellan of Roland City, also decided to back out. Although he was labeled the youngest and richest castellan of the Breezy Plains, 7,000,000 gold coins was already his limit. Arathor was not a gambler, and it was impossible for him to spend everything he had on a potion whose effects he was clueless about.
Although the auction was still going on, Hilary, the prince of the Ledin Kingdom and Robbio, the person in charge of the Glittergold Trade Union in the Breezy Plains, were the only ones who were still bidding.
At this point, Hilary’s face had begun to grow sullen. Although he was extremely affluent because he was the prince of the Ledin Kingdom, he often splurged on eccentric items that he would add to his collection.
Hilary rubbed his throbbing forehead with his finger as he continuously calculated the total amount of assets he had. He was not afraid of spending money at all, and even if he were to squander away all of the assets that he currently owned, he would be able to make an enviable amount of money again in a few more days. However, the problem was that an installment payment plan was not allowed by the Time Consignment Store, and he would have to pay for the item that he won the bidding for in full.
William had already announced the bid of 850,000 gold coins twice. Hilary took a deep breath, got a grip on his emotions, and nonchalantly said, “9,500,000 gold coins!”
