Bidding

The message shook everyone.

Christos stood up, almost got ready to leave and only then did he remember what his purpose was and what he came to do.

He sat back down and looked at the Gambler academy members in askance. His expression, his shaking legs, and his fiddling fingers, all showed that he is anxious to leave.

This is an opportunity, he cannot let it go.

"How do we evaluate the value of the coin?" He asked.

Sam smiled and said.

"Tomorrow in the auction, the coins value will be decided. You need to pay the ransom based on that value."

Everyone froze. All the Zeus Academy members froze like they were thrown into the middle of a glacier. They couldn't even move his fingers and they even forgot to breath for a second.

"What did you say?" Christos asked to clarity. He was hoping that he heard Sam wrong.

"You heard me right. Tomorrow, we will know the true value of the coins. Based on that you can pay the ransom."
