Bab 53: Sloth

The bidding escalated rapidly as the dwarven leader shouted out an offer of 4 million Origold, causing the auction screen to immediately update. But the previous bidder fought back with a counteroffer of 4.5 million, keeping the bid alive. Undeterred, the dwarf raised the stakes once again with a carefree bid of 6 million Origold.

The human mage, clearly angered by the dwarf's bidding tactics, pointed his finger and shouted, "You! Goldgrip! Do you want to obstruct me every time?"

The dwarf, unfazed, retorted, "What's wrong, Dupont? If you have the money, let it do the talking. Your mouth can stay quiet." The tension between the two leaders of the bidding factions was palpable.

As more races and factions joined the bidding war, the price continued to rise and eventually slowed down at 10 million Origold. Daniel was stupefied and didn't know what to say as he watched the scene unfold.
