"1200–" Leo said, officially joining the bid, as everyone in the room took a collective sigh of defeat.
Somehow, as soon as he joined, everyone knew that he was going to end up walking out with the item, however, those who had the means to purchase it did not wish to give up till the bitter end.
"1400–"
"1600–"
A couple other players bid, however, Leo came back strong and placed a big bid for 2000 MP.
"2000 MP by number 98, do we have more?" Raya said excitedly, however, nobody in the room responded.
Just like gold, not many players had the ability to place bids for items above a certain MP threshold, as unlike Leo, not many made global announcements on a quarterly basis.
Hence although 100/100 players present within the room held some interest in purchasing the Shard, in the end, it was Leo who walked away with the winning bid of 2000 MP!
