While it was framed as nurturing the younger generation, everyone in attendance could tell that he was protecting Gary Smith.
A few mysterious figures scowled, inwardly cursing this busybody.
Regrettably, they were in Joy Street where they couldn't take any action, and they didn't know the strength of the person offering protection. The rules weren't clear about who they actually protected.
However, since someone had interfered, most people thought Gary would likely give up.
But Gary Smith, in response to the goodwill from others, smiled and said, "I'm sorry, but I can't back down. I want to try the taste of Rising Spirit Fruit. I bid five hundred and twenty Sin Coins."
His continued arrogance made many shake their heads.
You can't dissuade a determined fool!
If he buys it, there is an eighty or ninety percent chance that Gary will go. It's like being in love. If one party invests too much, they'll value the relationship more.
