Bidding war begins

"Two hundred thousand Lenix from our lovely guest up at seat 37!" The auctioneer announced as he saw the first bid coming in. 

Hecathe leaned back on the couch and seemed to be quite amused as he waited to see what final price the item would be fetching.

"Two hundred and fifty thousand Lenix from our lovely guest up at seat 28!" The auctioneer looked as enthusiastic and sounded just as excited as he called out. 

"Four hundred thousand Lenix from our lovely guest up at seat 44!" Hecathe didn't know if it was just his imagination but he could almost swear that the auctioneer's voice was growing in volume with every next bid that was placed on the item. 

It wasn't Hecathe's first time being in an auction but it was certainly his first time being in this auction. When he had initially read about the black market, he thought the place would be dark and gloomy.
