Although he had no idea of what laid above the monarch rank, he decided to buy the crystal anyway.
As soon as he placed his bid, the person in the private booth right opposite him placed another bid.
"50,000,000,000"
Arthur looked at the booth before grinning mischievously and placing another bid.
"51,000,000,000"
Hearing this the auctioneer frowned under his mask since he expected Arthur to go with the flow and make an extra bid of at least 2,000,000,000. However, when the person in the booth opposite Arthur placed another bid, his frown disappeared.
"55,000,000,000"
Not a second later, it returned as Arthur did the same thing as last time.
"56,000,000,000"
All other attendees dropped all thoughts of bidding the moment Arthur place a bid exactly 1,000,000,000 above the other person's bid.
