It was the first time for many buyers form Jade City to see an auction at such a grand scale.

Syracuse knew that Guan Dongyang was not in the habit of hoarding a huge amount of wealth, so this money would be spent on his band. It was evident to Syracuse that it was the fierce competition with other local war-bands that had driven him to form an alliance with him.
"Five Hundred Thousand!"
