The Auction proceeding swung into action."All items on the list today are rare Plants and Herbs, they're invaluable, if you lose getting one today, you might never have the chance to get it again soon." The anchor intentionally hiked the expectation of the hall. Silence stretched, the kind of silence that carried the buzzing of the air conditioning system across the room. The smell of expensive cologne and medicinal plants carried across the air.Everyone leaned in.The Auctioneer pointed at the first compartment. Inside, a white plant sat, Whiter than fresh snow, glowing with a natural light."The first plant on the list is the ghost orchid." He paused, the hall listened. "This plant is very rare, our team of expert collectors spent an entire year before they could get just a one of it.." he paused, again, allowing his words to land and sink carefully, a professional way of spiking the people's interest.".... this plant is known for its consistent healing capability; cracked bones

Inside the Auction room was hot and uncomfortable for Amara. Sweats poured from here body like a Dam burst. Her anger became a physical thing, evidence from her trembling physique and tightened finger that dug into her palm like dull blade, forming just crescent without dripping blood.Her heels clacked the expensive marble as she stumbled out of the stage, the seat behind which was once her throne now felt like a snare for the entire embarrassment. Her king was gone, and now her crown had slipped off.The fabrics of her gown shuffled violently as she crossed the room, heels stabbing the marble frantically like a knife against steel. The whispers followed her like wild fire, each one a dagger to her heart.The men who once laughed at Elias sorrounded him, asking questions, requesting for his business card, even some were already making plans to invest in his hospital. But they didn't know the man at the centre was the one who had been controlling the 80% of the world medical affairs.

Diane's gaze darted about the littered apartment in shock."What the hell happened here..Amara?" Her voice cracked. She looked away from the wreck to her daughter who looked completely a Mess. Her brow tightened in confusion. "Did Richard do something to you when you both went out?" Amara snapped her head to her. Her eyes were red as blood, her arms trembled at the side as anger consumed something inside of her that was her usual composure."It's that bastard, Elias!! He humiliated me at the Pavilion! Because of him, Richard got arrested! I'll tear him apart. He's going to regret his existence when I'm finished with him." Her scream shook the room's fittings. Diane paused, her brow raised. "Elias? What the heck is he doing at the pavilion? Are you sure it was him you saw?" "It was him! With that bitch! They were both there and he was speaking like he knew so much, like he knew a lot about medicine. Because of him, Richard got arrested by the Cops." Diane didn't speak immediately.

Elias and Amara secured the cure of the nine vein venom. It encased in an ornate box carried by Bianca's personal bodyguard at the back. A tall and muscular man dressed in a Black suit that fitted him and with space enough to hide weapon.His name was Marcus.The Vast premise of the pavilion still buzzed with rhythms of soft laughter and conversations from dispersing attendees, while some carried boxes outside, and among them were people driving their Cars out of the place.As Elias and Bianca walked to their car, two young men crossed their way, making them stop in their tracks. Marcus' hand quickly moved inside his vest instinctively. Bianca raised a hand, signalling him to stop. Slowly and hesitantly, his hand slid to his side. He straightened, staring at the two young men intently, ready to any of them if they move suspiciously.The two young men stared at Elias in contempt and visible anger."Who are you even? You ruined our job!" The taller one sneered at Elias after looking at

"Old man," Elias said, his voice and dismissive. "walk away right now."When everyone expected Elias to be apologetic, that was the statement he contrastingly uttered.Strangulated gasp rippled through the air."Is he mad!!" "This young man is ready to die!""I pity his children, they'll have no Will to share his inheritance!""Is he crazy? He's still boldly speaking before the white sage! This is outrageous!" "The white sage will not have mercy on him!" The white Sage eyes darkened like an eclipse. His hands were shaking behind his back. This air around him trembled. Stiffly, his unlocked his hands and dropped it to his side. An invisible force trembled around his fist as he got ready to strike Elias.Peterson stepped in again seeing the situation. He cleared his throat and gave a gentle respectful bow."The white sage," he cooed, "this young man deserves to be punished. He disrespected you. But this woman here.." he pointed at Bianca. "..she is my partner. You are familiar wit
