The VIP Auction [1]

Anya tried her best to regain control of the situation, but her voice was shaky. "Going once... 900,000 gold coins..." She hesitated, unsure of what to say next. This was beyond the usual excitement of an auction.

She should be happy, yes, but something just didn't feel right. Unlike other shady businesswomen, Anya was not scummy and had never scammed any of her customers. Even the items auctioned here were priced just slightly above the initial amount they were purchased for, and this was because of the efforts the auction had gone through to find the said items.

Seeing how the price was shooting through the roof like this didn't sit well with her. However, it was out of her control, so all she could do was watch and see how things played out.

Anya looked toward the VIP section after not hearing a single word for some seconds and pondered to herself. 'Perhaps the expert in the box is deci—'

"1,000,000!"
