"Stop right there." The man's hand tried to stop Dakota.But Dakota, who realized someone was trying to touch him, dodged the touch suddenly until he made the man who wanted to land his hand on Dakota's shoulder lose his balance and almost made him fall. Seeing Dakota almost made him fall. The man was getting angry and looked at Dakota with annoyance.Dakota looked at the man, whose face looked familiar to him, and he remembered that the man was one of the students in his class. But the man rarely attended and often left his assignments to be done by other students while he only had to pay them. For that reason, Dakota didn't really recognize him. he only knew that he was named Alex.Since Alex was rarely on campus, he was rarely aware of the news that spread on campus. He didn't care about his surroundings unless something didn't look right to him.Alex gave Dakota an annoyed look. He looked at Dakota again, and his gaze got sharper watching her. "People like you shouldn't be in a fa

"How is that possible?" He shouted in disbelief. "You check the payment again you might have made a mistake." He pointed at the woman behind the checkout counter.The woman confirmed through his payment machine and the charge He processed on Dakota's card. "There was no mistake, sir. The card you were given accepted the transaction and only required confirmation. The fund balance of the card was sufficient to pay the bill.""But that's impossible," Alex said, looking confused about what was happening."I told you, while you were busy playing around and never showed up. There have been so many changes." Alex stares angrily at Dakota, his face visibly flushed.Meanwhile, Dakota confirmed his shopping transaction, which was completed quickly. The woman who handled the transaction smiled kindly. He was being more friendly than before. "Thank you for shopping at our store in such a large amount. If any new editions of our products come out every season, would you mind contacting us, sir?"

Two days earlier, Anna had told Dakota that she would pick him up at 9am, and they would leave for the auction. Anna asked Dakota to get ready, and now Dakota was waiting for her in front of his flat. He sees the white Porsche that Anna was driving the other day appear and stop right in front of him."The road is having a little trouble, so I'm not late picking you up. Sorry." The girl showed her unpleasant face in front of Dakota.Dakota pulled the car door next to Anna's seat, then sat down to join him there. "No problem, I don't mind waiting."Anna looked at him with a smile. She took a moment to notice Dakota's outfit before she drove the Porsche she was riding in. "Just so you know, I have no intention of making the handsome man who made an appointment with me today wait for me for long." He leered at Dakota and then drove off.Dakota opened his eyes wide, looking at Anna. He seemed to smile slightly and was a little taken aback at Anna's compliment, though he wasn't sure if the

"Ah, my head is throbbing with pain," Dakota said softly so that none of them could hear him. Dakota closed his eyes, and he tilted his head because he felt that his head was too busy listening to the various thoughts of the people in that place. Dakota looked overwhelmed. It was a new experience that Dakota had never imagined would happen and was distressing."This moon goddess statue is not only a good luck charm. This statue can also make you who have it a great person for having it. You can be proud of your ownership of this statue because there is only one statue of this kind in the world, considering that this statue is the last work that Balo Cassapio did." The auctioneer encouraged the audience in front of him to be persuaded by him.He knew the characters of the rich people in front of him quite well. All he had to do was provoke them with their high egos and say things that praised their habits as if they were commonplace. After that, they will be in his trap, competing to b

"That's right. With just a glance, people wouldn't realize the important details Balo put into his work. And people wouldn't even be able to tell the difference between the real and fake statues. But now that we know about it, we can tell the difference." Dakota walked closer to the podium."That's not true!" The man hosting the auction denied it.Dakota stared at the man. "What part of that don't you think is true?" Dakota asked him, knowing full well that what he said was the truth that only a few people in the art industry knew.He was sure that the guests who came today were not people who knew the quality of art; he was confident that the people in that place only came there to do the auction as entertainment and a business for them to show off how much money they could spend, so they would not be able to distinguish the authenticity of an art object they bought there unless they met a famous art observer and asked him to check the authenticity of the art object they had.Even if
