"The starting bid is 1 billion CD. But I'm sure you all know that a 7-star beast-tamer is actually priceless."
'Damn!' Any satisfaction Kain might have felt in the past from making a substantial amount of money from hunting spiritual creatures was now completely gone. In front of the real rich he was still no different from a beggar.
Soon the price passed 10 billion and showed no signs of going down. The most active and desperate bidders were individuals from families headed by a 6-star beast tamer—such as Aric.
The amount of times he'd shouted out a new bid had practically caused his voice to grow hoarse. As a result, he was drinking a lot to soothe his throat. Kain no longer had to worry about the completion of his mission and just sat back to watch the show.
Kain had already instructed Bea to restrain herself and not kill Aric until after he'd already left the venue. After all, as the one serving Aric, Kain would be among the first suspects.
