"What's going on? Did Charles really give up?" Zane stared out the glass window, his mind racing with speculation. He had no idea what the exact situation was.
But that didn't stop him from feeling pleased, as long as Charles didn't win the item he wanted, it was good news for him!
On the other side, in Charles's booth,
Celestine looked at Charles with confusion. She too was curious why he wasn't continuing to raise the bid. The price for the mid-level auxiliary cultivation miracle drug was only thirteen gold coins, and she had enough money to bid again.
Out of trust for Charles, Celestine didn't ask any questions.
Missing out on the mid-level auxiliary cultivation miracle drug wasn't a big deal, there would be other opportunities in the future.
"It's okay, Charles. I'll go to the alchemist guild later and ask around. They should have other miracle drugs that can help with cultivation." Celestine reassured him.
