Elizabeth was busy pacing around frantically inside her office, her footsteps wearing a path in the carpet as anxiety consumed her thoughts.Her mind was racing with overwhelming stress and fear about the multiple crises that had converged on her life simultaneously.It had been almost twenty-four hours, or perhaps even close to forty-eight hours depending on how she counted, since the terrible incident at had occurred and destroyed her carefully constructed world.More importantly and urgently, it was now over twenty-four hours since the powerful and terrifying Mr. George had literally given her an ultimatum with a strict deadline.He had demanded that she provide him with everything she knew about David - his background, his connections, his capabilities, and any information that might explain his power.But up till this very moment, despite the approaching deadline and the severe consequences she knew would follow, Elizabeth had made absolutely no progress.She had left one seemin

At that moment, upon hearing Benjamin's tantalizing promise about exclusive information that could resolve all of her crises, Elizabeth's desperation made her immediately demand specific details.“So what exactly is that crucial piece of information that can literally resolve all of these impossible problems I'm facing?” Elizabeth asked, her voice carrying urgent anticipation and barely contained anxiety.Her tone showed she was ready to grasp at any opportunity that might provide salvation from her current predicament.Benjamin then continued his explanation, his voice taking on the tone of someone sharing valuable insider intelligence.“This exclusive auction is going to be structured in three distinct stages, each representing different levels of rarity, value, and significance,” Benjamin said, his tone becoming more detailed and explanatory.His expression showed he had studied this information carefully. “The first stage will comprise items that are valuable but not literally uni
