However, when Chris opened the bidding at five hundred million, an awkward silence fell. The entire hall went quiet, and no one made a bid.
"Huh? Is no one interested in treasures like these? Then I'm afraid they'll have to go unsold," Chris said, looking embarrassed.
"These weapons can give a person the same world-shattering power as a Pokémon! Are none of you tempted? To be honest, even I really want them!"
"They were reportedly smuggled out of Western Europe after being recovered from the Galar Great Secret Realm. Just think—these are treasures from a Great Secret Realm!"
