" Err, I'm sorry for the damages " Max offered, as the staff of the auction house gave him some really nasty stares.
Max graciously paid them 100 million gold coins for any damages to the room he might have unintentionally caused and the Seven Galaxies Bank decided to call the matter quits.
By the time Max was done with his upgrade, the auction was nearly over.
His item in the fourth round went for a modest sum of 8.5 billion gold coins and while it was not the astronomical sum of 20 billion, it was also not a dirt low sum of 2 billion.
Apparently, even in this lifetime there was a big bidding war between Emperor Cervantez and Avans for the piece of the tier 10 treasure and the ending bid did go into the trillions, making it the most expensive item ever sold.
Cervantez walked away the winner of the bid, although not very pleased with the sum that he had paid for it.
