"Raylo, you brought in a total of five hundred and eighty thousand Golden Dragons from this auction."
Marquis Orlando handed a detailed ledger to Raylo.

"Thank you, Marquis."
Raylo said sincerely as he took the list.
He knew that Marquis Orlando's work behind the scenes had been indispensable to the auction's success.
