The precious pawn

The auctioneer looked at the wrapped blade behind Marvin's back and smiled as he spoke, "While you get the money, you can leave your weapon behind, and once the ten billion is paid off, you can take your weapon back with you." 

"..." This option sounded much worse to Marvin. 

Hecathe chuckled under his breath as he heard this but said nothing to help the boy. 

Marvin sighed as he shook his head in disbelief and muttered, "I should be getting paid for having to deal with this." 

LeiLei snickered as she managed to hear the boy. 

"How about it?" The auctioneer asked with a smile as he looked at Marvin. 

Marvin pursed his lips into a thin line and shook his head as he refused the offer. 

"How about I pawn something else more precious?" Marvin asked casually and the smile on the auctioneer's face seemed to have faltered for a second in confusion as he wondered what Marvin was trying to pawn.
