nods I see them. What's next?
smirks Next, we need to gather some intel on these high rollers. Find out who they are, what they want, and how much they're willing to spend.
looks at the people she points out
starts whispering excitedly Ohhhh, check out that chick! She's dripping in bling! Must be a whole lotta clout behind those Gucci shades.
laughs She sure has the look. But we don't need to waste our time with her. Let's focus on the serious players.
nods You got it, babe! quickly scans the room again Alright, I've spotted another contender. This guy looks like he means business.
looks at the man she points out Yeah, he's got that fierce look in his eyes. What's his story?
grinning Ohhh, you're gonna love this! He's known as "The Shark" in these circles. Rumor has it, he's here to sink his teeth into some serious deals.
chuckles The Shark, huh? Sounds like he could be interesting. What's his connection to the mysterious item?
leans in closer, speaking in a hushed tone Well, rumor has it that "The Shark" was involved in some shady dealings with the enigmatic figure behind this auction.
raises an eyebrow Shady dealings, huh? Are we talking Black Ops-level stuff here?
winks playfully Oh, you bet your ass we're talking Black Ops-level stuff here!
As MountainEcho and Miyu delve deeper into the auction, they uncover a dangerous conspiracy involving powerful and influential figures. With their lives at risk, they must navigate through treacherous waters to expose the truth behind the mysterious item and bring those responsible to justice.
puts a hand on MountainEcho's shoulder, her voice calm and determined Don't worry, babe. We've got each other's back.

pulls out her phone and starts scrolling through her contacts Sh*t, I can't reach him. His number's blocked. We need to find another way to get in touch with him.
quickly types in Ryan's social media username and password, trying to access his profile Fingers crossed, babe. Hopefully, he'll have some sort of emergency contact or secret message feature hidden away somewhere.
frustratedly continues searching through Ryan's social media profiles, her fingers flying across the screen Come on, come on... Where's that damn contact info?!
gasps suddenly Babe, look! I found a hidden message function! Ryan must have been keeping it under wraps. Let's see what he's got to say.
leans over to look at the screen
starts typing furiously, deciphering the coded message Hang on, babe. It's a complex encryption system. Gonna take me a sec to crack it.
kicks a nearby object I hope Ryan isn't dead.
As Miyu works on cracking the code, she accidentally triggers a booby trap on Ryan's phone, causing it to explode into pieces.
cursing under her breath, quickly examines the shattered remains of Ryan's phone Fu*ck! That was not supposed to happen, babe!
