Chapter 188 - 188 - The Auction [ Part 1 ]
Adam and Carl now stood in front of a massive building which could be defined as both expansive and beautiful.
The main color of the auction house were red, everywhere the color red was painted on the walls. Outside the auction house didn't have any design except for the stripes of golden color painted in the red mix. But one often wondered whether the stripes of golden paint were actual gold or not.
Adam and Carl looked were right beside the street where they could see almost most things about the front side of the auction house. The most common thing about the place was the kind of people that were going inside the place.
All of them wore clothes that would stood out even in the midst of bright colors but their expressions on the other hands were not in match with their clothes. They had this look about them that spoke of how highly this people thought about themselves.
Carl looked at them and couldn't hide his gasp, "Damn! This is getting worse as time progresses."
Adam didn't know what he was talking about so he asked, "What is it?"
"It's the people. That's what's wrong about here."
"So they're a little arrogant, what of it?"
"Arrogant? No, that is not what I am getting at."
"It's they're identities."
"… Is anyone of them from the royal force or something?"
"Thankfully No, but the people themselves are very complex.
That over there is the Ceo of Nei Network Services and the one back there is the Account Manager of the Beal Banking Services… And even the real owner of the Neile Prosti*ution House is here as well."
Adam couldn't understand why the guy was behaving like that seeing the real owner of a Wh*re House.
"Why are you like that?"
"Are they that strong?"
Carl shook his head as he explained, "No it's not that they are strong but they are very influential in their own way. Especially the owner of the Neile Prosti*ution House."
"So What? It's not like they would be able to use that influence over here. The Auction House is strictly restricted about things like that." Adam scoffed as he said.
"I know that but the reason why I am like this is because most of them, if not all of them has at least a net worth of 10 to 20 billion dollars, If I'm correct."
Adam thought about what he said before nodding and saying, "Okay, I understand what you're saying but for the time being we should just try to enter."
Carl nodded as both of them got in line before it was their turn to get in. As they stood on the big red carpet that looked very extravagant and the huge brown door of the auction house, they estimated that the auction house itself might be worth a few hundred million dollars.
That's just counting the structure and the normal things… Who knows how much it would be with the things inside and all the hidden weapons… Maybe close to a few billion dollars or more.
After waiting for just a while it was their turn to get inside and as they tried to get the guard at the door stood at their path and denied them entry.
Instead of becoming apprehensive or scared at the movement, Carl had a calm look on his face as he asked, "Yes?"
Outside he may look calm and collected but inside he was having thoughts of the auction house being suspicious of them already. But he knew that if he showed hesitation or any unusual behavior then it would only bring problems for them.
So without knowing what has happened or why were they the one stopped when all the others went in smoothly, Carl could only act calm and ask them that.
On the other hand, Adam was calm too but his was both the outside and the inside as well. Because even if he were to get caught by them, he could just fight this people.
He knew that no matter how much he fought, if the real security of this place arrived, he won't be able to do anything to this people and the outcome too will be very bad for him.
So the only plan he had was the original, Fight his way out of this mess and quickly run away. Just like the little boss intended them too. The plan may not be foolproof but it was what they had in this time consuming moment.
And about Carl… Well time would tell.
The big guard at the door towering both Carl and Adam in the back, put his right hand as a stop sign and used his left hand to point to his left.
Both of them looked to their right to see a gorgeous girl wearing a beautiful black outfit come to them with a bright smile on her face.
Carl looking at her was a little enthralled by her appearance but didn't let it go to his head as he slightly shook his head, Adam on the other hand had an aloof look as he looked at the sight walls acting just like his character, a master of a rich family.
The girl came to them and asked with smile that was hard to decipher whether it was real or not as she said, "I'm sorry for stopping you, young sirs. But if you want to go inside the auction house then you need to have an invitation card which the auction house itself had made for this special occasion."
Carl nodded as he took out a golden brown card with glitters on them and showed it to her, "It's this one, I presume."
The girl looked at it before smiling at them, "It certainly is, Young Sirs of the Trust Family. I'm sorry for the extensive wait and thank you for being so patient with me."
"Welcome to the Heaven Occupying Auction House."
In contrast to the girl's confirmation, the big guard moved aside and even flashed them a smile which they awkwardly returned.
The girl gave them the card back and said, "Sirs, My name is Jonna. Why don't you come with and let me bring you to your destined table."
Both of them nodded as they walked inside with the girl.
As they walked inside the huge door, they were greeted by a long hallway with a dark red color to it. The hallway had doors to both sides of its walls and a guard beside every door there was.
The hallway wasn't empty as they weren't the only ones who were walking on it as other guests were on it with a girl to guide them as well.
As they were walking on the hallway, Adam decided to ask a question to the girl.
"I thought that you didn't need to have a invitation card to get inside the auction house."
The girl nodded, "Hmm… You're right. But that was until tomorrow. When the time of the auction had changed so did some of the rules of it as well."
"Oh! What rules of it did change?"
"I'm sorry sir, but that was a slip of the tongue, other than the time of the auction nothing much had changed."
Adam wasn't so sure that what this girl had said were completely true.
