"What's the matter? Is Nightmare Auction House so busy you couldn't find an opening for your own auction?"
Damn. The sharp-eyed Old Vine had immediately guessed why Marcus was here. This was going to be awkward.
"Heh..."
Marcus forced out a laugh, already preparing an excuse, but before he could speak, Old Vine clapped him on the shoulder. "No problem. Same arrangement as before. No auction fee." Then he narrowed his eyes with curiosity. "So, Stone, what are you auctioning this time? It must be something important if you couldn't wait for your own auction house to clear a slot. Is it something good?"
Marcus fell silent.
