"Wow, that Hexium is so cool, what a baller!"
The bidding had been painfully slow, crawling forward inch by inch for nearly five full minutes, the price climbing in small, cautious increments that made even seasoned players restless. Although the steadily rising number already felt outrageous to most people watching, it still had not broken the thirty-five million gold coins mark.
That was when the arrogant Hexium finally lost his patience.
'If you have the money, bid. If you do not, get out of the way.'
With a single decisive move, he forcefully raised the auction price straight to forty million gold coins.
The moment the number flipped, the price officially crossed the forty million threshold. A collective gasp rippled through the Arena, and Hexium's name was burned into everyone's memory in an instant. In their minds, Hexium became synonymous with wealth and authority, a walking embodiment of money and power.
