Could there be a mastermind behind this, intending to stir up trouble?
Everyone fell silent, their thoughts in turmoil.
A group of Independent Lords seized the opportunity quickly, with the Star Sword Order finally falling into their hands for the price of thirty million Tao Points.
Although the final price was three times the starting bid, for these Independent Lords it was still more than worth it. Had it not been for their meager funds and limited number of exchangeable Ten Thousand Dao Points, the competition might have driven the price up to four times as much.
All parties watched with detached interest as the Independent Lords competed, even Zhou Tianqi, the "sufferer," stayed out of the fray.
It wasn't that they didn't want to join the bidding, but rather they couldn't.
Yes, they had the capital and could dominate over the Independent Lords, clinching the Star Sword Order with their substantial financial resources.
