40,000,000 gold coins. Visitors, if we continue at this rate, we will surpass the third highest bid in the history of the great Zazel City Auction. Exclaimed the young demon with blue hair.
The audience was silent, excited, nervous, and in suspense. Some demons had even started betting on who would win the auctioned item, as General Balac seemed unwilling to back down and increased the bid by several million every time Count Beltran made an offer.
Count Beltran threw his wine glass on the floor. He was furious but did not dare direct his anger at Balac.
At that moment, there were murmurs in the audience:
-Many slaves will suffer tonight."
-Not only slaves, but servants as well."
-Ha ha ha, he will surely raise taxes unjustifiably in his territory."
Count Beltran's reputation was terrible, but he never cared about that. When the auctioneer was about to conclude the auction, Beltran exclaimed in a loud and evil tone:
-100,000,000!
