"The stronger you are, the more benefits you gain... let me explain!" Trapp began.
"Have you ever heard of a bidding war?" Trapp asked Arran.
"Bidding war? Yeah, I've heard of it." Arran answered.
"Isn't it the process of two or more people trying to outbid each other by raising the offered bid for something until one wins?"
"Yes, exactly," Trapp confirmed.
"And so, what does this have to do with what you said before?" Arran asked in curiosity.
"Hear me out first... don't interrupt," Trapp said.
"As you said, a bidding war is the process of people trying to outbid each other. This is usually done by increasing the price of the bid offered until the highest bidder wins. But you have to understand that there are some things you can't simply put a price on."
"Take, for example, a piece of knowledge of technology with strategic importance to the various nations and civilizations. This is not something that can be easily price

Kingsman Return The Auction House
The car carrying Arran and Trapp continued to head towards the auction house and colosseum. the closer they were to the two buildings, the clearer Arran could observe them.Arran found himself becoming even more amazed the closer he got to the auction house, but as the car slowed down, Arran's attention was drawn to other things in the area.For example, Arran was surprised at the amount of traffic that was in the area surrounding the auction house and the colosseum. The place was like a central hub of activity. Various cars, few in the sky, like bees surrounding their hive and on the ground. The people looked like packs of ants moving about and foraging for food from where Arran was seeing them in the sky.But after thinking about it for a moment, Arran felt that this made a lot of sense. After all, the auction house and the colosseum were the two most important facilities in the whole main area.One was where you could bid on the things that came
Kingsman Return Lorne Crawford
While Arran was resting...Somewhere inside the core area of Fort Crawford...This place was an enclosed room. Inside it, there were a number of people from different races gathered together and discussing something solemnly. The faces of these people were serious. Most of them had tired looks on their faces and some of them were even dissatisfied as they looked disorderly and unkept almost as if they had rushed over here at the last minute.Still, although there was an awkward air in the atmosphere, nobody said anything as they simply waited in silence.Finally, after a few minutes had passed, the door to the room opened up, and another figure walked into the room with brisk steps.The aura surrounding this person was dignified as he walked, and he exuded an air of authority from his movements.While walking into the room, the man swept a profound gaze throughout the room with his eyes lingering on each and every person present in the room.
Kingsman Return Upper-level Meeting
"What!""The Aeth are sending a fleet over here?""Why?""For what reason?""This is all too sudden!"The news of the Aeth sending a fleet to Fort Crawford came as a shock to all the managers present here and they started to panic a little. Each of them started bombarding Lorne with questions as they tried to learn why the Aeth would be sending a whole fleet to their station.The reason why these managers were so panicked is that of how high profile the Aeth had been in recent times. Due to the matter of the Aeth retaliating against the shades that had happened some time ago, the Aeth had become the focus of attention for the whole Ether, and anything that they did during this period would come under scrutiny from the others. The other races and civilizations paid close attention to any activity or movement the Aeth did during this period just so they would be prepared in case the Aeth suddenly turned their cannons on them.Although i
Kingsman Return Madam Vera
With Lorne's exit, the meeting room fell into a short lull of silence before chatter spread around the room.The managers looked at the picture of Arran that was displayed in the air, and each of them had their own thoughts going through their heads. Nobody knew what the other was thinking, but it did not stop them from discussing Arran.One of the managers that had been quiet all this time was the first to speak up and ask generally."Does anybody know who this young man is? For the Aeth to send a fleet of ships to come to pick him up with a council member even being on board. His identity must not be a simple one. How come I have never heard of someone like this appearing among the Aeth?"As soon as this question was asked, some of the other managers shook their heads in denial. They, too, did not know who Arran was.One of them pondered out loud, "Is he perhaps a talent being nurtured by the Aeth in secret, who happened to run off on his own to
Kingsman Return Exploring The Auction House
Arran woke up feeling refreshed...Shifting around languidly on the soft bed, Arran stretched his body fully before lazily getting up from bed. Checking the time, Arran discovered that four hours had passed since he fell asleep.Looking around his room, Arran discovered that it was dark. He remembered that when he went to sleep; it was still bright outside, so Arran became momentarily confused after suddenly waking up in darkness. Fortunately, there was a dim light on in the room, so Arran could still vaguely make out his surroundings.After thinking for a moment, Arran eventually figured out why it was suddenly dark after waking up. Turns out, the space station was in its night cycle, so all the brightness during the day cycle had been turned off. This was a very common function for the station to simulate the day and night cycles of planets, and there was nothing to worry about. Because Arran had not experienced something like this, had been momentarily unnerv
Kingsman Return Feeling Complicated For Some Reason
Arran was torn about what to get for dinner, mainly because he didn't know where to get it. Thinking for a moment, Arran started to consider how to resolve the issue of finding food."I wonder if this auction house has a room service option where they would deliver the food to my room?""Hmm, considering how sophisticated this all looks, they definitely do..."Arran thought of getting the auction house to deliver his meal to him. But after thinking for a moment, Arran rejected this idea."Forget it. I'm supposed to be exploring the auction house and checking the sights, so eating indoors kinda defeats the purpose. Then again, that reminds me... I think the person who showed me my room mentioned something about being on call at all hours to attend to any of my needs."Arran thought about this for a moment as he remembered what happened earlier during the day. Although he had been extremely tired, Arran could still recall hearing something of the sor
Kingsman Return Touring The Auction House
"Right, thought I lost you there for a moment. Good day to you, sir. I am Elena and I will be your personal attendant for the rest of your stay with us at Fort Crawford's auction house. May I know how I can be of help to you, sir?"The sweet voice on the other end of the call introduced herself.Hearing her words, Arran quickly complimented her, "Elena, that's a nice name and it rings well with your sweet voice.""Thank you, sir, for the compliment," Elena responded.Then she said professionally, "Well then, sir, what would you like me to do for you?""Do you have any concerns that need addressing or questions you need to be answered? Would you like me to come over personally to serve you, or do you want to arrange for other services for you?""Please tell me whatever request you may have and I assure you will be completely satisfied..."Listening to Elena speaking so enthusiastically, Arran, who was curious about a few things, took t
Kingsman Return Touring The Auction House 2
Arran waited for five minutes when he finally received a call from Elena, telling him she was outside his suite. Having waited for a while now, Arran was ready to get moving, so he quickly stepped out.In the hallway outside his suite, Arran saw a small car just like the one that had ferried Arran and Trapp to the auction house, only it was smaller and more compact. This car reminded Arran of the golf carts back on earth, but with a more futuristic and advanced look to it.Seated in the car was a cute and lovely looking girl. She had dark caramel brown skin and coffee brown eyes that assented her light burgundy hair.When Arran first laid his eyes on her, he was slightly surprised by her appearance.Elena's appearance was not outstanding and she could be said to be quite average, but there was something about her that drew Arran's attention to her. Elena possessed a certain kind of charm that captivated Arran, not enough that he would be charmed to like h
