Although maybe the break had been beneficial.
Because if they had just gone through with the meeting—setting times, arranging logistics, arguing over which noble families should be invited—then wouldn't they have ended up redoing everything?
Yes. Absolutely yes.
Especially after seeing the so-called rejected weapons that Luca had prepared for the auction.
In fact, there could have been even more items if they had included all the rejects. However, after being thoroughly lectured by Big Brother Killian and Master Quinn, they were forced to eliminate anything made from "unheard-of materials."
That basically wiped out everything Luca had crafted with purified trash cube alloys. Which was, in Luca's eyes, a shame.
But perhaps he was the only one who thought so. Because everyone else who gathered to look at the items simply could not understand Luca's definition of rejects.
It even required Master Quinn to explain.
