Desperate Hana.

"I am listening," Ozul said curiously.

Hana shifted uncomfortably in her seat as she noticed Ozul's calm behavior. However, she put her thoughts to the back of her mind since she desperately needed the Harmony Leaves.

"I was wondering if you could sell this to me directly instead of auctioning..." Hana proposed. She paused to see Ozul's reaction.

However, she was bound to be disappointed because of the ever blank face.

"Go on," Ozul said when he noticed that she stopped.

Hana smiled wryly as she replied, "As the manager of this auction house, I assure you that I can even pay you with twice the original value of the Harmony Leaves."

"If you are so capable, why can't you win the bidding when I auction?" Ozul asked.

He was here to sell them directly at first, but auctioning sounded like a better idea. He would need more convincing than just double the value of it.
