The town square hums with the restless energy of the ultra-wealthy. Crystal chandeliers cast a cold, merciless light over the crowd, illuminating the sharp suits and greedy eyes. You take your seat among decillionaires, the velvet cushion soft beneath you. The air smells of polished wood and something metallic—anticipation. The auctioneer strides in, flanked by staff dragging ten heavy cages. Their iron wheels screech against the marble floor. Each cage is shrouded in dark cloth. The auctioneer stops at the center, lifts a hand, and pulls the first cloth away. "Let the bidding begin," they say, turning to look directly at you.
