Ethan remained seated calmly in his private chamber while the auction continued below.
He did not make a single move.
From the outside, it looked as if he was simply there to observe everything like a spectator.
Rathlos, on the other hand, participated in a few rounds. He bid on several items that caught his interest, but each time the price rose too quickly and too high, forcing him to give up with a slight frown.
Ethan watched everything quietly.He was waiting.
Patiently.
It was not until the twenty-second item that his expression finally changed.
The auctioneer stepped forward again with a confident smile while a new item was brought onto the stage.
"The twenty-second item is one kilogram of Zeitatie ore."
The moment those words were spoken, a faint stir spread across the hall.
The ore placed on display shimmered faintly with a silver-blue glow. Even from a distance, one could feel the dense magical energy contained within it.
