"Bought it outright?!" The wine merchant's eyes widened, disbelief written all over his face.

"I heard about this too. Apparently, it was fifty thousand gold coins! The manager of Harbor District Bank personally went to the hotel to handle the transaction... The money is now deposited in Harbor District Bank."
"Fifty thousand gold coins..." The crowd collectively sucked in a breath of icy air, their eyes filled with admiration, their hearts practically worshipping in awe.
Indeed, the decadence of the upper class was beyond their imagination; just a glimpse of it left them utterly amazed.
