112 Postponed Confrontation
In the dimly lit corner of the hallway, Reza Duan's shrill protests continued to echo wildly against Jaka's cold indifference.His sharp voice bounced off the marble walls, giving voice to a burning rage at being blatantly ignored right in front of his guardian.Yet Jaka paid the young man no mind. To him, Reza's shouting was nothing more than pointless noise."That's enough," Jaka cut in casually, straightening his slightly shifted jacket. "I've already answered all your questions."Viktor Liang stood stunned for a moment, processing Jaka's admission before letting out a resigned sigh. The complete lack of deception in Jaka's eyes convinced him. "...Very well," the middle-aged man replied quietly."Hey! Why agree just like that?! Don't just let him walk away!" Reza Duan cried in a panic, lunging forward to give chase.In a flash, Viktor Liang shifted his frame, cutting off his young master's path. He turned to Reza Duan and shook his head, his expression dead serious and laden with w
111 Viktor Liang
Fluorescent lights along the dim corridor cast elongated, clashing shadows. The silence shattered as a low chuckle slipped effortlessly from Jaka's lips. His eyes gleamed with amused mockery as he glanced at the stiff, tie-wearing young man before him."Looks like this gentleman is far sharper than you are," Jaka quipped, his lips curling into a derisive smirk directed at Reza Duan.Reza Duan's chest heaved. The tips of his fingers trembled, struggling to contain the rage boiling straight to his skull."What did you say?" Reza Duan snarled, fighting to steady his ragged breathing."Heh heh heh.""You!" Reza Duan jabbed a finger right at Jaka's nose. His eyes were bloodshot, brimming with pure, uncontrollable fury.Jaka raised both hands, flashing open palms in mock innocence. "What's with the dramatic reaction? I was just laughing.""You're laughing at me on purpose!" Reza Duan shrieked, his voice echoing off the corridor walls.Jaka gave a casual shrug, his eyes dripping with blatant
110 Hallway Confrontation
Night deepened, leaving behind a subtle silence outside the grand auction house. Inside the main hall, the crystal chandeliers dimmed one by one, casting long, sharp shadows across the polished marble floor. A crisp night chill seeped softly through the seams of the heavy glass doors.Wealthy guests filed outside toward their rows of luxury vehicles. Amid the thinning crowd, Jaka and Andini walked side by side in perfect step toward the main exit, ready to bring the night to a close.Their steps halted abruptly as they entered a dimly lit connecting hallway. A tall figure stood squarely in their path, deliberately cutting off their way forward."Aren't you two in a bit of a rush?"A loud, sneering voice shattered the quiet of the corridor. The figure was none other than Reza Duan, who stood with his hands shoved arrogantly into his pockets, his lips twisted into a cruel smirk.Jaka stopped in his tracks. A faint crease formed on his brow, revealing a flash of displeasure he made no ef
109 The Miracle of Spiritual Liquid
The stage spotlight locked onto a dead potted plant as it transformed drastically within seconds. The once bone-dry stalk suddenly swelled, surging with fresh green veins of life.Fresh branches sprouted rapidly, unfurling buds that bloomed to perfection like a time-lapse video on fast forward.A tense silence instantly gripped the auction hall. The air in the room seemed to solidify before suddenly shattering into a storm of wild whispers from the guests."I'm not dreaming, am I?""Did I walk into a magic show by mistake?""Magic... did I just witness actual magic?"A wave of shock spread rapidly, especially among the wealthy guests who knew nothing of the spiritual realm's inner workings. Even the presenter on stage stood frozen stiff.His hands trembled around the empty bottle, completely unprepared for his demonstration to yield such a spectacular phenomenon.Beside Jaka, Andini leaned gently against his shoulder. She covered her lips, stifling a soft giggle meant only for the two
108 Demonstration
The rap of the wooden gavel brought an end to an opening session that had briefly been steeped in awkwardness.Once the provocative dress found its new owner in the mysterious woman in purple, the atmosphere in the grand hall gradually warmed up again.The stage lights flared brighter, heralding the arrival of the next lineup of luxury lots.The auction proceeded without a hitch. High-value jewelry was brought out one piece after another, showcased on black velvet trays that shimmered beneath the spotlights.Andini placed bids whenever an item caught her interest.Watching his girlfriend from the side, Jaka felt a quiet sense of admiration. Every time Andini raised her bidding paddle with a smooth, poised flick of her fingers, her natural elegance radiated so effortlessly that several deep-pocketed tycoons around them hesitated to challenge her.From a flawlessly cut diamond ring reflecting a dazzling spectrum of light to a pure gold necklace crafted by a renowned master—a piece rarel
107 Sheer Silk Opens the Auction
The radiant glow of a massive crystal chandelier reflected flawlessly across the charity gala's polished marble floor.The opulent hall hummed with the discreet murmurs of high society mingling over expensive drinks.Sitting in a corner among the middle rows, Jaka let out a long breath and shifted against his stiff posture.'A place like this makes me feel suffocated.'Leaning back into the thick cushion of his seat, Jaka looked out at the lavishly dressed crowd that felt entirely alien to him.Exhaustion was plain on his face after the grueling negotiations with the auction committee."Getting them to believe us wasn't easy," Jaka muttered under his breath, his voice nearly swallowed by the gentle instrumental music.Andini, seated right beside him, tilted her head slightly. Her evening gown draped gracefully along her composed frame. She glanced at Jaka from the corner of her eye, her lips curving into a captivating, subtle smile."What did you expect?
