An Auction During An Auction

"Alan" Ron tapped on Alan's arm trying to buy his attention.

"The tears of phoenix could heal sir Philip" Alan understood what Ron meant, since the tears of phoenix had the power to heal all injuries, they could even grow back the right arm of instructor Philip.

"1200…1600…"

Alan just nodded.

"2000" Ron raised his hands.

"2400" the auction kept on going as the prices increased, everyone knew how valuable the tears of phoenix were. They all wanted it in their hands.

Alan looked around, but there was something wrong there. If this was an auction only for the noble and wealthy people, the lord of the town should be here to welcome the people.

"Where is he?" Alan gazed around "why are there very less guards here?"

The main man and the guards weren't present, there was very less attention given to this event.

Alan had a gut feeling that something there was wrong.

"4000… once…"

"6000"

"8000…once…twice…"
