Damnit!
Fang Hao cursed himself for making the bid at the wrong time.
Facing the gathering gazes, he maintained a calm demeanor.
He spoke softly, "The story was well-told, and the short sword has quite a flashy design. It could make for a good addition to my collection."
In other words, I'm not short on cash and I'll buy it merely because I like how it looks.
Seeing Fang Hao's expression, the crowd started whispering among themselves.
Gradually, everyone came to know that it was he who saved the cloth merchant's daughter in the city and received a hefty reward for it.
Yes, he has money, but even the wealthy shouldn't spend so casually. Spending a thousand gold coins for a short sword after just hearing a story doesn't seem like a smart decision.
"Is there anyone else who wants to increase the bid? This is a former collection of a countess and the only one available." The middle-aged man continued to remind loudly, trying to push the audience into raising their bids.
