He observed the person closely when they opened the door and he saw the manager's title on the name tag on their chest.“Are you Mr. Jeremiah?” The manager asked while panting.Jeremiah groaned as he stuffed his hands into his pockets, making a face to show that he was a little annoyed about the door being locked, and then said “Yes I am and you’re the manager, right?”The manager followed Jeremiah’s eyes and saw that he was staring at his name tag.“Yes, I am. Anyway, I’m terribly sorry for keeping you outside like this. I just got a call from the owner who first yelled at me and then ordered me to let you in so I hope you’re not offended by the delay, sir” The manager, who seemed very nervous as he had his head lowered to avoid eye contact, said to Jeremiah.“I was honestly pissed off at first but now that you’ve apologized, I’m good,” Jeremiah said and the manager sighed discretely.“That’s good to hear, sir” The manager moved out of the way and gestured that Johnathan goes in. “Pl

Jeremiah could see that everyone there was from different walks of life and the only common thing among them was that they all exuded wealth and power.“So sir, since you’ve seen what’s going on here I want you to promise not to tell anyone,“ The manager said. Jeremiah looked at the manager, placed his hand on his shoulder, and said “Don’t worry, Donald, none of this will leave my mouth” as he gestured that his mouth was zipped shut. “Thank you very much, sir. If you will, please go in” Donald said, gesturing at the room and Jeremiah stepped through the door. Donald closed the door and walked with Jeremiah. Both of them, especially Jeremiah, stroke the intrigue of the other people there.“Who is that person? Has anyone seen his face before?” One of the bidders said to the others around himAnother bidder shrugged “I don’t know. I’ve never seen that face in any of the previous auctions, and just like the master I’ve gone to many.”“He could be new money, considering how young he loo

"Look, they have just finished addressing everyone and giving the rules for the auction like they always do so it's time to start," Andrew said to Jeremiah, letting him know what was going on because it was his first auction.He then looked at Jeremiah and said "I hope I and Martha didn't distract you from learning the rules seeing as this is your first auction and you needed to know every rule to participate properly" Jeremiah shrugged "Honestly, I got distracted but I catch on quickly. I'll just watch everyone else and you to know what to do when it gets to something I want," he said.Andrew smirked, looking impressed."A smart young man. I like that. Well, since we're going to keep talking through the duration of this auction, I guess it’s only appropriate for us to introduce ourselves. My name is Andrew Loch, and she is my longest friend, assistant, and non-romantic partner, Martha" Andrew said then shifted his gaze to Martha, hinting that she greets Johnathan.Martha turned to J

“The first thing my mentor told me was that somewhere out there in the world there’s always going to be someone better than you in some and maybe even all regards. You just have to behave with that thought in mind, always. The second thing he told me is, don’t let what you already know be the wall that you stand on to show your confidence because someone else can come around and turn you into Jericho. An example of that is what Martha just did for you. Take these two lessons and grow my friend” Andrew said and Jeremiah’s face became serious.‘Those things sound somewhat similar to what Obadiah told me when he started training me in magic. What a weird coincidence. Whoever Andrew’s mentor is, I’m sure he is a really cool person’ Jeremiah thought.Jeremiah nodded “Alright sir, I’ll engrave all the lessons I’ve learned from the both of you to heart and arrange my next steps accordingly,” he said.Andrew and Martha smiled, happy to have imparted such great lessons to someone like Jeremiah

“Mister Andrew, your quill will be waiting to be collected immediately after the auction or delivered to anywhere of your choice if you don’t want to leave with it yourself. Just have your assistant provide us with a location and our company will bring it to you as soon as possible” The auctioneer said while looking at Andrew and Martha“Thank you” Andrew replied.The auctioneer faced the rest of the audience and said “That was just the start of our extremely thrilling and captivating auction so if you missed achieving that prize then do not fret, I have more impressive items behind me as you can rightfully see. With that being said, please bring forth the next item”Immediately after the auctioneer finished calling for the next item, the worker with a long box came forward and then held it up for the auctioneer who opened it and showed that it was a sword inside.This sword was known as the sharpest sword in the entire world. It had a black handle with gold patterns on it. There was
