บท 527: The Auction Begins

"To all of those that have been able to come here, welcome to the Leio Auction House once more." Just as it seemed like the clamor amongst the audience seemed to have no end, a man that looked to be in his early thirties, dressed in a dark gray suit, appeared on the stage, beaming a smile as he looked at the audience.

"I presume that a great portion of you have already seen me during the auction that was held around a month ago," said the man with a chuckle, neatly combing his slightly unkempt blonde hair as he continued. "As for those that have only come to the auction house for the first time, my name is Sirius Leio."

"Though I may come from the Imperial Leio clan, I am the head appraiser of this branch of the Leio Auction House, having worked as one for over a decade already. I hope that alone can assure you that the items that we'll be showing in this auction have the auction house's full seal of approval."
