"Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you an Oceanic Scroll. This was discovered by our divers and holds a few spells that allow one to navigate through water like a fish. We will be starting the bid at 2 million dollars."

Though uninterested in such a mundane item, William watched the bid proceed with a keen eye, utilizing it as an opportunity to gain some experience until he found something that would catch his eye.

Soon enough, the scroll was sold for ten million dollars to an unknown bidder, which gave William the assurance that the identity of the bidders wouldn't be revealed, which meant he could purchase without worries.

Meanwhile, the ladies on stage returned with the glass box while another duo emerged with a different glass box which contained a stone tablet with intriguing inscriptions etched on its surface.

  • A full on assault

    Burke was slightly confused when he saw the elevator ascending from the basement.“What's going on?... Are we expecting someone from the basement?”His subordinates were confused as well, prompting him to take out his communicator. “All units, report your status!”“Third floor, clear!”“Nothing here on the fourth floor!”Each floor reported it's status… all but the basement.Burke yelled. “Basement team!... Do you copy?... What's your status?... Why is the elevator coming up from your end?”Still, no response.At that moment, Burke realized that something was amiss. He bellowed. “We have an intruder!... Quick, surround the elevator. I don't care who comes out, just fire all of your bullets at it.”Immediately after, all of the mercenaries who were guarding the hostages charged toward the elevator with their guns at the ready.They were going to unload all of their bullets the moment the door opened. As the elevator slowly approached their location, Burke stood in place with his brea

  • I'm coming

    As someone who had come across several martial encounters, William understood how important it was to think like the enemy.It was best to think that they are smarter than they appear to be than to underestimate them at all.He had seen enough people fall due to underestimating an opponent and he was not about to fall into that same trap.Just then, he heard movement approaching his location and a moment later, two mercenaries with guns stormed into the room.They laid eyes on William the same time he set eyes on them.Silence followed and then, they reacted.“Intruder…”William didn't hesitate to react as he rushed forward and threw a roundhouse kick at them, causing their necks to snap in an instant.Before they could fall over though, he stepped forward and caught them before gently placing them on the ground after which he exited the room.Meanwhile, eight others guarding the basement were heading in William's direction after hearing some minor commotion in that direction.Just as

  • A successful infiltration

    William could have protected himself but that would mean creating a spiritual energy barrier that would impede the flow of the water.So he had no choice but to keep pushing even as it felt like his bones were about to break and his lungs were about to give out.He held on, passing out several times in the space of several minutes as he swiftly approached the water reservoir in the school.By the time he arrived, he was teetering at the edge of consciousness, struggling to open his eyes as his body was too weak to even move.But then, he suddenly opened his eyes, taking a deep breath as he did so.He had made a promise to save the hostages and until he had done that, he couldn't die just yet.Clenching his fist, he swam up to the surface, gasping as he reached the top where there was no water.He reached out and grabbed the cover only to realize it was sealed shut.But that was no problem for him as he put out two fingers and coated it with spiritual energy before using it to cut a ho

  • Finding out

    “Wait here for William's orders.” Briggs remarked after which he took out all of his weapons and walked into the hotel with his hands in the air.Once he walked inside, a few mercenaries rushed out.“Don't try anything funny. One wrong move and nobody inside us getting out of here alive!”“Quickly search him.”Once they were done ensuring that Briggs hadn't walked in with a weapon, they took him to meet with Ivan who was waiting in the lounge.He was currently seated on the sofa with his legs crossed and a knowing smile on his lips.Taking the time to regard Briggs, he intoned. “I'm happy that I've got you accompanying me now.”Briggs first observed his surroundings before he replied. “I'm here so that you won't harm the hostages, but I'd like to let you know that this is meaningless.”“Heh.” Ivan chuckled. “It may be meaningless to you, but it's very important to me. Now you are the one being held captive, not the other way around.”After saying that, he ordered his men. “Tie him up

  • Making demands

    Briggs was not an individual that took well to be threatened, so he angrily replied. “Stop being such a coward and leave civilians out of this. I guarantee you that no one will interfere if you agree to take on the general one on one, but if you dare to touch any of those hostages, you can forget about dying a good death!”His words were enough to shock even the police officers because they weren't used to such aggressive words.They were even worried that his anger would end up worsening the situation.Imagine their surprise when Ivan say nothing back, instead moving to show himself at the balcony of the hotel.One of the snipers that the police had brought along was foolish enough to try and snipe him only for the bullet to be repelled like it was a pebble.Ivan glared at the offending party and a moment later, the individual let out an agonizing scream before passing out.“Damn it!” The police commisoner was about to order his men to shoot but Briggs spoke up.“If any police office

  • Setting plans into motion

The situation outside Starcrust Business Hotel swiftly turned chaotic as members of the police force arrived to cordon off the area as a crowd began to gather outside the hotel.Special forces were deployed and journalists quickly gathered at the scene.“Breaking News, Avalon has fallen into the hands of terrorists. Information reaching us is that a terrorist group has occupied Starcrust Business Hotel.

With the situation as it is, one can only wonder what to expect going forward.”As the journalists reported the situation in real time, the police commisoner had to personally move out to calm those that were gathered outside the hotel.These were men and women that could be considered high middle class and even u
