The audience was silent. Most everyone there thought it was interesting, but they had nothing to do with it. Plus, they had all come with a purpose in mind and typically only carried enough gold for what they wanted. They didn't want to waste their chances later on something with no purpose.
"Two thousand gold!"
A voice sounded out from the second floor, catching people's attention.
"Very well. Two thousand going once! Going twice--"
"Two thousand five hundred!"
Again, Jack's voice sounded out through the room.
"Two thousand seven hundred and fifty!" That same person on the second floor called out, daring to challenge Jack.
"Four thousand!"
Showing that he meant business and that he would always get what he wanted, Jack instantly jumped the price again. It was like he was daring everyone to try and take what was already his. He wanted that egg and he was willing to pay far more for it if he needed to.
