Just as the shills were about to speak again, a voice cut off the words in their throats.
"80,000 Gold Soul Coins!" Shi An raised his hand lazily, looking much like some spoiled young master from a wealthy family.
Naturally, this was all an act. If he showed that he was determined to win, who knew how much they would fleece him for?
When Prince Xue Xing heard that someone actually dared to outbid him, his expression immediately darkened as he turned to look.
