This auction wasn't just about the Capital City Martial Arts Association making money back. It was also their way of showing off their power to everyone watching.
That's why they couldn't let anything go wrong during the event.
Having three black and gold robe guys on duty showed just how seriously they were taking this whole thing.
Of course, the Capital City Martial Arts Association had such a high status that nobody had dared to mess with them for years.
"We need to bring in at least ten billion this time," Hawk Thompson told the two black and gold robe figures standing next to him.
Both of them nodded slightly, then said, "That's not really our problem. We're just here to keep things peaceful."
Hawk Thompson went quiet, scanning the venue before stepping back to one side.
With just one arm, Hawk Thompson looked pretty weird.
So the Capital City Martial Arts Association didn't want Hawk Thompson showing his face – it would make them look bad.
