A Long Lost Weapon

Several minutes later, Denise managed to win the auction, forcing the other Ten Great Families to back down from the coveted treasure—the Purple Lightning Gauntlet.

However, his victory came at a steep cost—he had to pay 7 million gold coins for a Silver Rank treasure, a price double that of any typical Silver Rank weapon. Yet, with everyone else retreating from the bid, Denise had no choice but to accept the outcome and pay for the treasure.

"Damn it all! Those disgraceful scoundrels! How dare they set me up like this?! I'll make sure they pay for this humiliation once the auction is over!" Denise growled, pacing back and forth in his room. His teeth clenched in frustration as he seethed over how the other Ten Great Families had manipulated the auction against him.
