"These rings help a party of two people and also assist in solo battles... Truly worthy of my kids," Falkor remarked with a pleased smile. Then, his voice booming across the hall, he declared:
"150 Million!"
A ripple of murmurs spread through the crowd.
"Wow… The Dragon King is going after it."
"He moved it a whole 50 million!"
"I won't back down! 160 Million!"
"200 Million!"
"240 Million!"
The bids escalated rapidly, a flurry of shouts and raised hands, all vying for the unique Twin Rings.
"All these kids... It seems I'm too low-key," Falkor mused with a smirk, then unleashed his next bid:
"500 Million!"
".....?!"
A stunned silence fell over the hall.
"King Falkor, how good of you to set the stage for me?" Austin, who sat a few seats away from Falkor, interjected smoothly. He opened his mouth and announced.
"600 Million!"
