From MC's Perspective:
Kira's eyes flickered with a brief, calculating gleam as she silently weighed the worth of the five Grade-6 Artifacts laid out before her.
Even one of these artifacts could fetch a fortune, enough to guarantee the young wizard's safe passage and more. Yet, this young man, with a quiet confidence, had offered five. The temptation was undeniable.
"Young man, I agree to your request," Kira finally spoke, her tone decisive, cutting through the tension like a blade.
She had already made up her mind. Accepting all five Grade-6 Artifacts would ensure her success, and as a representative of the Auction House, a neutral entity in these turbulent times, she had little to fear from outside scrutiny.
The Auction House had its own rules, and as long as the trade was fair, she could weather any backlash. Yes, Kira thought to herself, this was a deal she wouldn't regret.
