Immediately after the conclusion of the final game, Barnaby announced that the dinner and after-party of the auction would commence shortly.
This happens every year after a successful auction, allowing the companies and the crowd to mingle with each other socially, celebrate wins, or even discuss business opportunities.
After all, one purpose of the games was to show competence to potential customers and investors. That was why many up and coming companies were eager to show their worth.
Almost everyone was present, from the Duchess Regina and her royal family, as well as the other important figures like the Tower Master as well as Kruger, the Heavenly Knight who trained Potbol to be the beast he was now.
But despite the important figures present in the party, there was just one person missing from attendance.
