Chapter 59: Tumultuous Events XV (2)
"339 talets!"
"350 talets, 700 silver!"
"Damn it, then I bid 400 talets and 230 silver!"
The Ambergris boasted the best fragrance and quantity in existence, captivating all with its undeniable value.
People began to exhaust their funds, wholly enchanted by the precious commodity.
As expected.. the prices are soaring without a doubt
The cost of Ambergris swiftly surpassed 600 talets, hurtling towards 700 talets. However, Bahamut refrained from raising his hand; instead, he patiently waited until his opponent's limits were made clear.
And, his opponent was none other than the woman he had been observing.
If she's targeting that she'll undoubtedly swoop in at the decisive moment, just like before
Bahamut's vigilance stemmed not from mere curiosity but a keen understanding.
"730 talets, 430 silver!"
"743 talets, 500 silver!"
"820 talets!"
"Yes! 820 talets have been called! Anybody else?"
The competitors, reaching this point, were left speechless by the sudden spike in prices, primarily due to financial constraints. For many, this was their final transaction in the auction, and the sought-after item made it highly desirable.
However, accumulating 820 talets was a formidable challenge, even for those with substantial financial means. Additionally, prior auction purchases had already depleted their resources. The consensus among the crowd was that the owner of the Ambergris must be a wealthy merchant with 820 talets.
At that moment
"1000 talets."
"!"
"1 1000?"
At the announcement of the staggering bid, all eyes turned to the woman who had consistently dominated the bidding.
She was dressed in a maroon robe, and the amount she had poured into the auction was already in the thousands of talets. Despite this, the fact that she still had such financial leeway left the onlookers astonished.
"That's 1000 talets! 1000 talets! An all-time high bid! Is there anyone willing to bid more than this?"
In the midst of the excitement, the host inquired with modest expectations.
And
"1200 talets!"
"!"
The ensuing voices, the faces of those present, and even the woman in the maroon robe, for the first time since her arrival, registered bewilderment.
""
"Hehh."
Bahamut gazed at the woman in front of him, a triumphant smile on his lips.
Clearly, 1200 talets were a substantial burden for him. Regardless of Bahamut's dealings in tens of millions of talets, individual spending had its limits.
Though he acted as the majority shareholder, declaring an amount like 1200 talets without hesitation was challenging.
At this point even for her, it would be impossible. A whopping 1200 talets. No matter how much money she brought, the auction ends today, it should be her limit
Bahamut was convinced that the situation had concluded.
"2000 talets."
"!"
After those words, silence enveloped the auction house.
Converted into Korean currency, 2000 talets amounted to 20 billion won. Even Bahamut was left speechless by the unimaginable bid.
Ah.. noits truly unbelievable? 2000 talets? How much money did she bring with her?
With this amount, even Bahamut couldn't bid a higher price. Although he could call it if he forced himself, it would also mean relinquishing a significant sum.
According to Bahamut's principles, the Company's interests had to be prioritized over personal gain. So calling a higher bid was unacceptable no matter how much he coveted the item.
I have to endure it I want it, but I must stop here
With a composed mindset, Bahamut sighed, observing the woman in the maroon robe smiling quietly.
Ha.. yes.. you win..
Bahamut gathered his thoughts, and the woman in the maroon robe moved forward to claim her prize.
At that moment, Bahamut noticed another woman behind her.
Hmm? That womanshes
A silver-haired woman, eyes observant of her surroundings, trailed behind the woman in the maroon robe.
After that, they left the auction house together, a cart laden with Ambergris in tow.
And as Bahamut witnessed that, scenes from the novel began to play out in his mind.
Now wait a minute no way.. those people..?
