160 Throwing Money At Your Problems

"Eight thousand--"

"Ten thousand gold!"

Those on the third floor finally started taking action. Without pause, the price rose past fifteen thousand gold.

"Twenty--"

"Twenty-two thousand gold!" That same man wouldn't let Jack get a word in. However, this time, since the man knew Jack had money to spend, he added a few words. "Sir, please allow us, the Adventurers Association to purchase this item. We need it urgently and will pay anything to get it, we will even owe the kind sir a favor."
