“Wait a minute sir but you’re what to my family?! You own what?!” Johnathan asked with a look of utter shock.“Why didn’t anyone tell me about this? How long have you been connected to my family in this—“ Johnathan asked but Zachery cut him off with a hand gesture that says he should stop talking.“Hush my young friend, you might miss something important when it eventually comes up. Aren’t you here to bid so pay attention” Zachery said, then pointed at the auctioneer before turning his enter body towards the podium and resting his back on his chair.Johnathan who found figuring out Zachery’s connection to his family more important than anything the auctioneer was going to say or bring out didn’t want to just give up having his questions answered like that.He also only wants the Red Panther Black Soul necklace which would most likely come last in the lineup of items being auctioned and so he felt he did not need to listen to the rest of the items before that.“I would rather talk to y
“The first thing you have to know is that one of the most powerful things in the world is terminology and your ignorance right now is living proof of that.”“You think I’m ignorant?” Johnathan smacked his tongue and then asked“Yes, you are now shut up and listen. You think because you were told that you have only 13 families to look out for in the world and I will say that you are right about that. There are only thirteen families just as great and more than yours out there” Blessing said and Johnathan chipped in before she could finish.“Then what exactly are you saying?! I was always right and you just confirmed it so why were you trying to make me feel like I know nothing—“ Johnathan said but Blessing cut him off.“Since you think you know so much then answer me this little question. You were told what families fall under that list of 13 right? Then where does someone like Mr. Rose Dana fall? He isn’t on the list is he?” Blessing asked and Johnathan became speechless.“Umm, umm” h
The auctioneer read the room in an instant by staring at the faces of all the bidders present and seeing how hyped they were for the main items to be presented, he smirked.All the items to be presented were either in cases that concealed what they actually were or if they were too big then covered in a tarp and they as well as all the workers in possession were currently standing behind the auctioneer, waiting to be called.The auctioneer gestured at the first worker behind his left and she came to the front while in her hand was a wooden box that most likely had the main item for auction in it.“I’d like to present the first item in the line up so if you don’t mind, please open it up for our guests to see what they are here for,” the auctioneer said and the worker opened the box to reveal what was inside.“Wow, look at that beauty,” The auctioneer who wore a white leather glove that matched his all-white suit said as reached into the box and brought out the item, and raised it so ev
They wondered what master she could be talking about but there were only two options which were Johnathan or the man seating to her right.To them, it couldn’t have been Johnathan because for one thing, they saw him come into the auction alone and secondly, he didn’t have the charisma that matched someone like Blessing.That only left Zachery who they looked at Zachery, gracefully seating with his legs crossed and busy stroking his rabbit’s fur than focusing on the auction.The auctioneer who was just as shocked as everyone to hear such a price jump that went almost three times the last offer quickly rushed to his notepad.He searched for the name of the lady who just raised the bidding paddle and made the fifteen million dollars offer and thanks to the list of bidders also coming with pictures, it was easy.“Lady Blessing, I can see here that you’re the assistant of Mr. Zachery Zilar, the distinguished gentleman sitting to your right,” the auctioneer said, gesturing at Zachery and Bl
“Mr. Zachery, your quill will be waiting to be collected immediately after the auction or delivery 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 Zachery and Blessing.“Thank you” Zachery replied.“Delivery won’t be needed. I’ll take with me everything Master Zachery is going to win here today when we eventually are on our way out. You can go ahead with the rest of the auction” Blessing said and the auctioneer bowed his head a little as a sign of respect.“As you wish, Miss Blessing,” The auctioneer said then faced the rest of the audience “That was just a start 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 forwar
All the other bidders squeezed their paddles furiously and growled at the disrespect they just received. How dare a young lady like her talk to elderly men like them like that?Is she looking down on them just because her master spent fifteen million dollars on a quill? How Ludacris of her to have this level of hubris they thought.They will show her what they are made of is what they all had in mind as they turned away from her to face the auctioneer and went ahead to make their counteroffers.Each counteroffer was with an addition of one to three million dollars and every time someone counteroffers, the auctioneer would state Zachery’s automatic counteroffer of an additional five hundred thousand dollars to the last called amount. Anytime he does that, the other bidders would look at Blessing to see if she has finally decided to concede. Unfortunately, they will be disappointed to see that she and Zachery were so unbothered about the amount being called that it made them angry.The
“For the next item, I have to inform everyone that there’s a little treat or should I say catch to it as that’s the correct term to use here,” The auctioneer said and everyone started grunting in confusion and complaining amongst themselves.Usually, all the rules are given at the start of the auction so why was the auctioneer trying to bring something new now? The bidders wondered and weren’t appreciative of what was happening.“What exactly do you mean by that?” Master Kora asked just as the worker with the item to be auctioned stepped forward.“First of all Master Kora, I know that this is very unconventional but the client that provided us with this item explicitly instructed that we should start the bidding price at a million dollars. The second thing they requested is that we give it to the first person who makes a bid for it which means that there isn’t going to be a competition for who can pay the most as whoever raises their paddle first wins the item. We are also to hand ove
“It’s vibrating as well? Why? Grandmother never told me that things like these would happen to it so what’s going on?” Johnathan asked himself as his heart was beating really fast.He was afraid that the pendant was going to explode because this is the first time he’s experienced anything like this but then something else strange happened.“The Blood Cross, I can feel it trying to go somewhere,” Johnathan said, feeling the pendant pushing against his hand as he held onto it.Curious about this new development, Johnathan looked in the direction that he felt the pendant was being pulled towards and said “Wait, it’s getting attracted to that box? What’s going on? What’s up with that strange box and the Blood Cross anyway?”Johnathan was really confused, also doing his best to stay calm so as not to draw any attention to himself while he stared at the closed jewelry box that was similar to the one his grandmother has.“Is the Blood Cross telling me that I should bid for whatever is inside
