The clash between the teams was not a matter of public bidding but rather private negotiation. Still, it was evident to everyone that a fierce discussion was taking place among the three groups.
Sitting on the Stone throne opposite the chairman's platform, Lin Xiao faced a barrage of surprised and scrutinizing gazes from the crowd.
In the group chat, someone directly asked:
"Lin Xiao, are you playing the pig to catch the tiger here?"
"I wish I could, but my strength just doesn't allow it!"
He posted a shrugging emoji and added:
"If I were that amazing, I'd have already challenged for the Black Iron or Bronze Tier by now—for the chance to get one or two more Mythical Grade Cards."
In truth, he wanted to admit that he didn't have enough cards to challenge, but feared saying so would make people accuse him of showing off.
