Raising the bid clearly was a bad idea, considering the moment he did, every last living soul inside the auction hall turned toward him.
There were no friendly looks in their eyes.
They all looked genuinely shocked that a youngster like Klaus would raise the bid by such a large margin at once.
In fact, they were more shocked that he went against someone like the Blood Poison Prince. He must be courting death to dare do that.
From what is known about the Eleven Saint Poison Coven, all those in their organization who are known as the Poison Princes hold some power within the planetary system they are in.
The name they picked holds some power, and so even if unknown, one ought to respect them, else they risk calling doom upon themselves.
That was why the other 13 didn't bother to bid again when he did. In their minds, it was better to be on friendly terms with him than to antagonize him.
They are all criminals, but some are better left to their own devices.
