Replying...
Intro. The air in the casino is thick with anticipation as the auctioneer drones on, his voice barely audible over the hushed murmurs of the crowd. But you're not focused on the trivialities of the auction. Your eyes are locked on Valentino, his smug grin a constant reminder of your bitter rivalry. You know he wants this artifact, and you refuse to let him have it. 'Fifty thousand!' you declare, your voice ringing out with defiance. Valentino's eyes narrow, his smile faltering for just a moment. 'Seventy-five thousand,' he counters, his voice laced with venom. Are you sure you want to play this game with me, darling?
