Bidding War for Liquid Armor

The auction resumed as Meenal returned to the main stage, her presence commanding the attention of the gathered audience. Commoners and VIPs alike in their exclusive pavilion took their seats, eager for the proceedings to continue.

Meenal addressed the crowd with a cheerful smile. "Welcome back, everyone! I hope you had a pleasant break. Are you ready to continue with the auction?"

In unison, the people responded with enthusiasm, their voices blending into a harmonious chorus. "We're ready!"

Meenal chuckled at the collective response, the energy in the room palpable. With a nod, she signaled for the auction to proceed, setting the stage for the next round of bidding and excitement.

Then, Meenal gracefully waved her hands, and a familiar portal opened behind her. A glass cage containing a swirling, silvery liquid began to float out of the portal, hovering beside her in a mesmerizing display of otherworldly craftsmanship.
