After activating his special vision, colourful rocks appeared before his eyes. Among the ten rocks, Das found five jades. The other five were just normal rocks without any jade inside, but because of their soft texture, people thought these were also jade rocks.
Among the five jade rocks, Das found lavender jade inside the biggest rock among the ten. One rock had black jade, and the other had green jade.
Ria wants a green jade, which is the most expensive and valuable jade. Among the three rocks with green jade, one has a semi-transparent body with smooth texture, and the other has a slight mix of grey and green jade.
But Das is more attracted to the small stone with more green lustre at its core. That small sized rock only contains a small amount of jade at its centre. But the jade inside this small rock is looking super attractive to Das eyes.
"Das, what are you staring at...?" Ria jerked his shoulder as Das stood silently while observing the jade rocks. With a startled expression, Das turned his gaze towards Ria. But he immediately turned his head away as his vision helped him to see Ria's naked body.
"What happened...?" Ria questioned him after seeing his odd behaviour.
"Nothing. Has Granny completed her research...?" Das asked with a happy smile while trying to ignore her snow-white body.
"Nooo, she needs more time. Let's go. We will check on the other valuable things for this afternoon's auction." Ria dragged him towards the steps as the other things were shown on the lower floors.
"What do you mean by afternoon auction?" Das questioned as the old granny said that the auction would be conducted in the evening time.
"There are two auctions; the jade rocks will be auctioned later tonight. But first, they will auction rare treasures, valuable collections, and popular paintings during the afternoon." Ria said while continuing to drag him towards the elevator.
She brought Das to the fifth floor as the auction items were arranged from the fifth floor to the sixteenth floor. Das did not have any interest in these rare items. But he accompanied Ria, as she is more enthusiastic about these luxurious items.
The Zebra organisation really worked hard to gather this rare collection. They arranged old Indian kings' gold ornaments and special authentic pots from the king's era.
From the sixth floor to the tenth floor, they arranged several antique pieces from South Asian history. They arranged several rare coins, furniture, militaria, books, and music boxes from old Indian kings.
"Are they going to auction all these items?" Das questioned it, as there are several things that will consume a lot of time to auction.
"No, only the things on the thirteenth to sixteenth floors will be auctioned. These things will be directly sold here. Look carefully; all these items have price labels." Ria pointed out the price tag on a beautiful gold hairpin that has origins in the Rajput family.
"Oh, that's good then. At least they were not going to waste our time."
"See this smoke pot...? It came from the Mughal Nawab's court. Isn't it beautiful?" Ria asked while pointing towards a golden ceramic hukkah pot. Do you want it? Das asked after checking out the smoking pot.
"Nooo, why would I want a smoke pot? I'm just liking it because of its outside gold design." Ria explained while moving forward to see other items.
Slowly, they reached the eleventh floor after checking the royal ornaments. The eleventh and twelfth floors were filled with Ninety's collection... Like old radios, gramme phones, mobiles, banned books, etc., the things on these two floors also had price tags.
Das also saw that the number of people inside the gallery was increasing as the clock ticked faster.
"Why are you watching these things so curiously? As far as I know, you are not going to buy anything." Das asked with a questioning look as Ria was observing each and every item carefully.
"What are you talking about? I just like seeing this rare collection." Ria answered without turning her face. After another half hour, they reached the thirteenth floor, where the real auction items were displayed.
Das observed that the number of guests increased on the thirteenth floor, and only ten items were displayed here.
"Das, see this sword; how beautiful!... The black diamond on its grip is really eye-catching." Ria spoke excitedly. Das looked at the information below to check out its history.
They mentioned that this sword belongs to Sri Krishna Deva Raya of the Vijayanagar Dynasty. It also says that the king used to hold this sword during his court sessions with his eight great poets.
There is also a drawn picture of the king with that sword in his hand. Das really liked the shape and charisma of that sword. Even though he did not like to waste money on these antiques, the sword really attracted him.
Das activated his vision to check out the sword closely. The sword looks authentic with a beautiful golden outline, and its sheath is decorated with beautiful gems and diamonds. After taking a few more glances, they moved onto the next floor.
The fourteenth and fifteenth floors also had things like crowns, statues of kings, sculptures, weapons that were used during Mughal wars, etc. After checking these items, they entered the sixteenth floor, where things were entirely different.
On this floor, all modern and foreign collections were displayed for auction. Das found a large crowd on this floor, along with many pairs of men and women.
Several rich people with wealthy attire were gathered on this floor. Most of them were chatting with others while sipping on the wine. Unlike other floors, this one had more than twenty items, which were displayed in glass boxes with alarm systems.
Ria pulled him towards a corner where a two-hundred-year-old wine jar was displayed inside a glass box.
"What is this?!..." Das started gazing at it curiously as the name Himalayan Monk Wine was engraved on the glass jar, which was looking super old and tattered.
