Ethan's eyes gleamed as he collected the staggering sum of 536,941 gold from his mailbox. A wide grin spread across his face as the coins vanished into his inventory.
He turned his attention back to the video feed with the portly broker. "Put the word out to your network," Ethan instructed. "I want you to keep buying gold. Don't worry about the price, I'll make sure you turn a profit. The more, the better. But… this stays between us. No one can know I'm the one buying."
Through the screen, he saw Trusty007's eyes light up with avaricious glee. For a gold broker, the biggest fear was getting stuck with a pile of currency during a market crash. Ethan's request was a dream come true; a guaranteed buyer who would take all the gold off his hands at a locked-in profit.
Trusty007: "You got it, boss! I'll send you an update every three hours."
NotADruid: "Good. Don't be shy. Money isn't an issue."
