Chapter XCII - The Auction (End)

Marcus turned towards Raia, "I want you to find out who purchased it, tell them I will pay 100,000 Gold for it!"

Raia stuttered, "D-d-do you even have 100k?"

"I will be putting around 250k Gold in the vault tomorrow; I told you I would be giving you all the Gold you lent back! Did none of you seriously believe me?" Marcus was frustrated, and everyone around him was making him even more annoyed.

Artox reached out and placed his hand on his shoulder, "Take a deep breath bro, you're starting to spiral, we'll get that slip, I'll contact Ghost as soon as the auction is over."

Marcus closed his eyes and took deep breaths, trying to calm his racing heart. After a moment, he nodded and smiled, "Thanks man..." Artox nodded, not saying a word, and Marcus turned towards Raia, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to come at you like that."

Raia smiled and nodded once, accepting the apology.
