Caleb watched; every move mattered now.
He had to wait patiently...
The wheel was rolled into the stage.
As usual, it was covered by a red cloth.
The auctioneer calmly walked over to the wheels.
With a swift tug, he pulled the cloth away, revealing a black-etched card, sealed behind layers of enchanted acrylic.
The air in the room shifted subtly—as if the temperature dipped half a degree.
Intricate patterns of gold cut across it, forming rhombus-like shapes.
And then in front, three golden horns were etched onto it.
Caleb's eyes widened.
His initial preparation for his bid crumbled instantly.
His face was now replaced with a look of shock.
It wasn't just him.
Naya... Julia.
They instantly recognized the card that was encased in the glass box.
It was an X card!
"How the hell did that thing appear here?" Julia asked, her eyes widening in disbelief.
Naya was so shocked, almost to a state of trauma.
