"The starting bid is 500,000!" The auctioneer shouted. This low starting bid was the result of a number of important factors. The idea was to start low and let players engage in a bidding war, which would easily drive the price past the estimation.
Unfortunately, one individual threw a wrench into things.
"600,000!" Lynch shouted and turned to face the crowd, "Whoever bids against me is officially enemy of Guild Monarch!"
A silence fell over the players who were about to bid. Gritting their teeth, they lowered their heads and averted their gazes in disgust.
The auctioneer became furious, "Young one, you cannot use your status to threaten others!"
"Otherwise, you will be officially banned from our establishment!"
"Oh, sorry then," Lynch replied with a wave of his hand. Yet, despite this, he still stared at the players with an insatiable grin wrapping around his face.
All the players gulped hard. They didn't want to make Lynch their enemy.
