A flood of private messages slammed into Orson's inbox like a tidal wave, nearly causing his chat interface to crash.
"Offering 160,000 gold for the Forbidden-tier Golden Longbow! Ready to trade now!"
"Hold the Berserker's Warcry warrior set for me—110,000 gold, instant payment."
"How much for the pair of Level 70 legendary rings?"
Orson gave a slight shake of his head. Sure, the whales were circling, but none of them had the guts to buy his shop plots—not in this climate.
Even with tiered discounts—70% off for small and medium shops, prices down to 800k–1.5 million gold—no one dared to commit. The only ones showing interest were lowballers trying to snag a deal while Orson was "desperate," and they got ignored flat-out.
People weren't stupid. Everyone knew the risk: Forever City might not survive. Nobody wanted to go all-in while the empire's retaliation loomed.
