Few of the most wealthy men and women in the hall had called out their prices for the Siren Queen. Even if some of them might lose a ton of wealth, how could they resist themselves after hearing the allure of gaining the power to sabotage their enemies without much effort?
And if they missed their chance, who knows if it would come again in their lifetimes? A Siren Queen couldn't be a rarer being.
Because of this, the initial auction price was raised and raised till it reached 700,000, and nobody else was able to raise it again due to how insanely high the price already was.
Not everyone was willing to go dirt poor since they knew that there was no sure-shot chance of gaining the Siren Queen's power. It was a complicated process and might not be worth the risk.
There was also no solid precedent of anyone gaining such powers.
