"Try to imagine, since they hold this treasure in their hands, why are they still willing to auction it off? Could it be that they are short of money?"

"In my estimation, their intent is to use this item to draw various forces into the fray, sparking a chaotic battle."
"In fact, even the secret news about obtaining the treasure might have been deliberately leaked by them..."
