163 Bidding War (1)

Hearing the auctioneer's words about the alluring Orb of Divination, both Liang and Kai's eyes sparkled with excitement.

"We must acquire this artifact," Kai stated with determination.

Liang furrowed his brow slightly, his mind filled with caution. "We still don't know the full capabilities of the Orb, nor the extent of its protection."

Ever bold and undeterred, Kai grinned and swiftly placed his hand on the translucent wall. Upon contact, the wall seamlessly vanished, revealing the auctioneer on the other side.

"Mistress Auctioneer, please tell us more about the Orb!" Liang's voice, though not raised, resonated throughout the hall, capturing the attention of the extraordinary experts present.

The auctioneer's eyes narrowed slightly as her gaze fell upon Liang's chamber. After a moment of contemplation, she nodded in agreement.
