บท 37: Chapter37-Tear of Wind Serpent

The auction continued, but Leo did not raise his paddle again. 

Upstairs in the private box, anger still simmered in Lionel's eyes. 

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

"Congratulations, Master Lionel," the elder congratulated him.

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

"I understand," the elder nodded in response.

The auction was nearing its end, and about the time it took for an incense stick to burn later, it concluded. 

Those who had won items needed to go backstage to finalize their purchases with the auction house staff.

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.
