Hill's whirlwind-like acquisition of Shoulong artworks attracted countless gazes, not out of envy or jealousy, but rather anger, resentment, and greed.
If it weren't for his lack of interest in the high-level wonders delivered by those somewhat problematic folks, someone might have already shouted out angrily.
Many official merchants also showed displeasure; Shoulong's artworks were very popular among the King and nobles. Hill didn't even let go of some particularly exquisite silks. How obnoxious can rich people be!
They tried to leverage their status to make Hill give up some brightly colored brocades and gilded textiles and the largest few Jade Mountains, however, Hill, displeased, directly pushed open the front window of the VIP room, revealing the Radiant Orbs surrounding him to everyone.
In the Toril World, no King would dare demand concessions from an Archmage capable of using ninth-level spells, let alone when they were merely the King's subordinates.
