The next day arrived in a jifty. Placing a call across to Amelia, Drew informed her of his journey to North Heights to attend the large scale Auction hosted by Silver Eagles Auction House. "I've heard of that company. It occupies an even larger market when compared to Red Mist Corp, even though the latter had more history than the former" Amelia remarked. "You should be careful. North Heights is an uncharted territory. The number of experts and their level of power is not something those in Delta City can compare" Amelia warned. "Tch. Should you be bothered about me? You should be worried about yourself. What if that Assassin strikes again or if Red Mist Corp targets you again?" Drew laughed. "Hm. You are right. Though I doubt that would be happening " "Eh?" "The Auction hosted by Silver Eagles Auction House is bound to be a large scale event. Even the Patriarchs of the Great Families in the City will either attend or send their envoys. I doubt whoever is behind Red Mist Corp wi

Silence.. "Only one?" Mr. Henicky frowned, appearing worried. They were currently four in number. A single room wouldn't be able to contain them. "Yes Sirs. All the rooms are fully booked" the Receptionist shrugged helplessly. "If that's the case, I'll find somewhere else" Drew volunteered. "Hmph. At least you are able to read the situation" Larx snorted "Are you sure? I mean isn't this your first time in the City?" Mr. Henicky asked Aiden with a worried expression. "I'm mean, we can all share the room while my chauffeur sleeps inside the limo" "It's okay. I have my ways. Not to mention I am afraid a certain somebody wouldn't accept sharing a room with me " as Drew said this, his eyes fell on Larx who snorted in response. "Nick just let it rest. Drew is a talented junior. Perhaps he has a way" Jarin spoke up. After a bit, Mr. Henicky finally gave in Walking out of the Hotel premises, Drew frowned. Although he sounded confident back there, only he knew he had no way to

That evening, the Mick family had dinner alongside Drew. When Tom's father joined them for dinner, Drew used the opportunity to size up the other man. Caleb Mick as that was his real name didn't look anything like Drew had anticipated. He didn't have the overbearing personage befitting of a former military officer. Instead he looked just like a regular old retired salary man clad in track suits and limpid eyes. His face was pale and his body skinny with his cheeks bones protruded forward like there was not enough flesh to cover it up. "Hm? Who's this young man?" Mr. Caleb asked after he sat at the dinning table and noticed Drew's presence. "Dad! He's Big Sister's friend..." Rosalie actively chimed in as she explained how they met. "So you are the Individual who once defeated my daughter back at Delta City?" Mr. Caleb nodded with acknowledgement. "Before that incident, Tom prided herself in her medicinal skills causing her to become conceited. But after the defeat she suffered

The next day finally arrived; the day of the auction!"Uhm. Uncle Caleb are you really sure Silver Eagles Auction House can provide the below listed herbs?" Drew asked with a wry smile as he glanced through at the paper sheet he held. On it was the list of herbs needed to concoct the antidote for the Sun Curse.Although Drew was the one who wrote them down, he hadn't even heard about the majority of them."Of course. Silver Eagles Auction is a major player in the Auction market of Starling. If there's anywhere you can find those herbs, it must be there " Mr. Caleb replied confidently."Though I am not sure if they would put out those herbs for auction, so you'll probably have to contact them privately if you want to make a purchase "Drew nodded, since what the other party said made a lot of sensee. After all, he had a hunch that most of the herbs were very expensive and valuable."I'm ready " just then, a beautiful figure stepped out from the bungalow as she took graceful steps towar

"This place is cramped like hell" Aiden frowned as he twisted his way towards the mammoth crowd, with Tom besides him.They were currently at the lower floor which was a spacious hall. However even though the hall was spacious, it was jam packed due to the mammoth crowd inside.This came as a shock to Drew, considering the fact that he had to pay a a deposit of 5 million dollars per person for him to attend the Auction.This deposit was something that all enterees had to pay. According to the Staffs of the Auction House, it was a proof to show that they were not paupers.In the past, there had been some mischievous paupers who had sneaked their way in and messed up with the Auction, bidding above their budgets and driving eligible buyers away. That day, the Auction House suffered from a huge monetary loss and the Management of Silver Eagles inc were so distraught that a majority of the shareholders and executives voted for such a rule to be implemented."That is to be expected.
