Chương 131: Chapter 131: Unprepared

"Five Hundred Million," Arze's voice resonated through the auction house, sending ripples of surprise through the crowd. 

His bold bid exceeded the base price by a staggering four hundred million coins. Gasps of astonishment echoed around the room as everyone turned their attention to Arze's VIP room. 

He leaned back in his seat, his gaze unwavering, fixed on the mystical key displayed on the stage.

Even the Guilds that were on the verge of bidding went silent. They had hoped that they would at least have a chance but now that the initial bid was basically half a billion, they couldn't even hope to have a single bid. 

Over ninety percent of the guilds were effectively out of the bidding with the first bid itself. 

A tense silence followed, broken only when the Leader of the Tower of Demons Guild 'Arcane' cleared his throat. 

"Five Hundred and Ten Million," he announced, his voice carrying the weight of competition.
