The two men fought with each other at a speed that was, for the most part, faster than the eyes could follow. Otto wouldn't let up his barrage, especially now that he was sure his spells were working. He cast on himself to further amplify the speed differential between him and his opponent.

As the auction ended, the remaining guests were left in shock and slight stupefaction at Otto's wealth. The eyes of a few members of the crowd glinted.

Otto, for his part, took in the various expressions of the people around him and laughed inwardly. He didn't deny that there were inevitably some dangers in exposing such a vast…

Item after item went by, and Otto continued to bid for, and win, quite a few of them. It was to the point where some guests started feeling shunted and displeased after they couldn't, or more often, didn't want to pay such a high price for the items they wanted.

Still, he never spent so much that…

The ballroom transformed as soon as the female Catalbee had finished speaking. All the guests, including Otto, remained in their seats as they began to move along with the floor. The stage in the center of the room started to fall, as the floor outside rose upwards and outwards in tiers. In under a minute, the ballroom had transformed itself into an auditorium. Otto was sitting near the middle of the auditorium, looking down at the stage. His chair softened under him, and now felt like a couch, though…

Thankfully, it was available, meaning that they were still on the planet of . This was a situation beyond his previous…

Otto cast on Jeremy as the boy narrated his experience. Of course, his retelling was full of yelling, hand gestures, and full physical reenactments as Jeremy acted out some of his best fighting scenes, and a decent amount of bragging in addition.

Clatenis first asked Otto to describe the circumstances in which he had saved the government worker's life. He listened quietly as Otto gave a simple explanation. Even for a long time afterward, he didn't make a sound. His face indicated that he was deep in thought. Otto could only wait quietly on the other end of the line. "I believe I have an inkling as to the identity of this group of people." At this point, Clatenis's voice was hushed. "This is a force that has long been spoken of in…

Otto strolled back to the hotel in silence. Though his expression was impassive, his eyes were slightly narrowed. He fingered a small card in his hands. In truth, despite his casual gait, it was impossible to find a single opening to attack. His body and mind were on the highest alert, even as he continued to ponder the woman's words.
