No need to be afraid
According to the financier, one of the perks of having a golden ticket was being able to get a list of all products available in the Beggars sect.This perk helped to save William a lot of time that would have been spent looking around the market.Seeing his golden ticket, the record keeper was quite courteous, even helping William search for what he required.It didn't take long before the Phoenix Cloak was found. The good news is it was worth William wanted, the bad news was that he had to sit through the auction to get it and what's more, it happened to be the main item of the night which meant several people were bound to be after it.Letting out a sigh, William had no choice but to go after it.So after giving his thanks to the record keeper, he left with Victoria to prepare for the auction.The auction in the Beggars sect was unlike the previous ones William had been to.Those ones were held in extravagant halls with a lot of lighting and servants.Here, it was every man for hi
Golden ticket
"What do you mean we can't pass?" Victoria asked in vague annoyance to the rather rude guard."Did I have water in my mouth?... Exactly what I said!... You can't pass." William furrowed his brows, unwilling to trade words with the annoying figure but knowing he had to."Is it because we have an entry pass?" William inquired. "Hmmph, so you have some common sense after all. Noone is allowed to go past this gate without an entry pass. If you want to pass, purchase one and if you want to access to the auction, then you'll need to purchase a golden ticket.""How much are they?""Hmmph, I doubt he'd be able to afford it darling, why don't you come with me?"William and Victoria shifted their gazes only to find an unknown man, dressed in rather extravagant attire, approaching with a smug grin on his face.Accompanied by two women already, William didn't know why but he had a feeling that what was about to happen would be quite annoying to handle.***Trevor was a member of one of the hidd
A cheap scam
It reeked of a ploy and William wasn't about to be made fool of with one. He was hardly in the right frame of mind to tolerate nonsense from anyone, especially one that was trying to pull a fast one over him.Watching Darcy veritably draw the attention of bystanders while claiming he ruined her jade pot that was worth more than 10 million dollars, William restrained the urge to call her out for her bullshit.He'd already messed up once due to his anger, he wasn't about to do so again.Taking a deep breath, William made to speak. "Ma'am, I don't believe you understand that I am not the one at fault for ruining the pot. You walked into me.""Lies!... He is trying to trick us!... Someone tell him to pay up or else I'll…" she left the rest unsaid as numerous bystanders began to speak up."Yeah man, pay up already.""How dare you come in here and make trouble. Apologize and pay up right now!""Pay up or get beaten!" Victoria grew worried seeing as the crowd were incensed, following the w
Locating the last item
With the Ghost Army Sect's plan dealt with, the other members quickly went into hiding, allowing Avalon and it's denizens some measure of peace.A week after the incident at the hotel, William was on a date with Victoria when he got a call from John.“Boss, I've located the last item.”“The Phoenix Cloak?”“Mn, exactly that one.”“And you are certain it's not a replica?”“Absolutely certain.”“Wonderful, send me the location, I'll head there now.”“Understood.”Once the call ended, William seemed rather excited, prompting Victoria to ask.“What is it?”“Found something I've been looking for.”“Oh and here I thought you already found what you were looking for with me.” Victoria teased.William chuckled. “We'll see.”“Oh?... Alright, so where is this thing?”“I should be getting the address for it soon.”“Alright, then, let's go.”“Go where?” William asked.“To pick up this special item of course.” Victoria remarked as she got to her feet.Aware that she wouldn't take no for an answer,
Aftermath
Ivan looked at William as he breathed heavily, unable to accept his loss.He had planned everything thoroughly yet at the end of the day, he had lost without even causing any damage.“Take him back and find out who it was that helped them with the weapons that they used to threaten the hostages. I want to know everyone that allied themselves with him.”“Yes sir.”William didn't stay behind and left the building to look for Victoria. Outside, the hostages got out of the vehicles and were greeted by their family and friends who had been waiting for them for a long time.“Mom.”“Sis!”There were cries of excitement coming from the hostages and their loved ones as they embraced one another tearfully.All of them could not stop themselves from crying with all the emotions running through them.The hostages had been filled with despair as they were sure that they would meet their maker today.Yet they had managed to return in one piece, making the emotions they felt absolutely indescribabl
A win is a win
As the situation in the hotel reached its climax with gunshots ringing out on each floor, William swiftly made his way to where Ivan was waiting with the Shadows.“I underestimated you.” Ivan admitted with a dark look on his visage.It was clear that he was displeased with his things had turned out.The hostages that he planned on using to force William to give up without fighting back were gone and now, William was standing before him, without a single injury on his person.This was a man that dared to face off against ten thousand men and win.Ivan didn't dare to think he could take him on by himself.“Give up now and I won't have to kill you.” William calmly said.He might have considered killing Ivan before, but that was only if the bastard made the mistake of touching Victoria.Since that hadn't happened, there was no need to end his life immediately.As a high ranking member of the Ghost Army, Ivan would have information, valuable information that he could use to destroy that vi
