Flexing on Kings

Following the bow, a spear was brought out. "This holy weapon is blessed by Halmut. It can give off a holy glow to light your path or pierce through the toughest of armors. The bid will begin at twenty-three thousand gold!"

"..."

Everyone looked over to Jack's room, half expecting him to make an insane bid right out the gate. But the bid never came.

"Twenty-three thousand gold!"

"Twenty-four thousand gold!"

Once everyone thought Jack wouldn't be bidding, they all continued as normal. It was soon sold for forty-six thousand gold and the next holy item was brought out. 

But again, the crowd was disappointed when Jack didn't make a bid.

Inside his room, Jack was inspecting the secured storage ring. He already knew what items would be sold on the first and second days, so he didn't bother paying attention until something he wanted was up for grabs.
