He glared at Leo, barely concealing the murderous intent brewing within him.

"Four thousand five hundred gold coins, I need an explanation!" Lionel said coldly.

"I understand," the elder nodded in response.

Having successfully bid for several items, Leo naturally didn't leave immediately. 

He entered a room at the back and completed the transaction for the items he had won.
