Sandra Roberts was known to be a despicable woman who instilled fear in everyone who came in contact with herHowever, despite her cruelty and ice Queen status, one man proved stubborn and dismissive of her influence and power. This man was Zion Walker, the mob boss of the Fifth Avenue neighborhoodDue to the city's lack of interest in the Fifth Avenue ward, leading to the outbreak in crime amongst the occupants of the neighborhood, each major business that operated there was affected, from cases of arson to burglary, daylight robbery, petty thefts and more, making it generally unsafe for the customers in the heart of the city who occasionally shopped thereAs a result of this, some businesses closed down due to lack of patronage, while most suffered a major decline in revenue generationThat was until a few months ago, Zion Walker decided to capitalize on this eventuality and make himself a rich man, by offering protection to the stores, customers, and shop owners for a protection fe
Dennis smiled and shook hands with her, "I look forward to our collaboration" he said softlyAfter shaking hands with her, Dennis and Deshaun got up to leave, but Sandra immediately called him before he walked out of her office "Mr Apollo!",Dennis turned slowly towards her. Sandra gave him a gentle and sweet smile as she said "What do you know about the Schitzu vase?"Dennis smiled politely and responded "Not a lot. I know the vase belonged to an Emperor in the Kang dynasty and was rumoured to be lost somewhere between Asia and Europe",Sandra couldn't help but gape in marvel when she heard Dennis's response. Just as she expected, this man was not aware of what he was acquiring If she had any Cultivation skills of herself, she never would sell this item. But Dennis seemed like a good man, so she wasn't generally concerned with what he had planned to do with the vase. However, she still felt the need to warn him of its powerWith that flowing in her mind, she pressed her hand agains
Outside the store, as soon as Dennis got into the car, Deshaun began to brief him "Dennis, I heard there'll be an auction at the party, and there's quite the competition. This isn't just a typical ball, your uncle is using it as a private auction to acquire some rare antique itemsOne of the items in the auction is the Vilga necklace. I've heard that quite a few people from the city are going to be bidding for this item as well"Dennis sat quietly in the car's passenger seat, caressing his beard deep in thought. What was his uncle planning? The man could not just be trying to expand his antique collection. He must have been looking for somethingCould it be? He pondered and then immediately dismissed the thought Certainly, this auction was just a means to acquire something, but what else could he want if he already had connections and ties with several factions in this city and could find whatever antique piece he was looking forStruggling to arrive at a conclusion, he nodded and sa
After they reached Deshaun's apartment, Dennis got out of the car and looked around the placeDeshaun's pad was as typical as a bachelor's could be. Without wasting time, Deshaun walked towards the fridge, brought out a bottle of water, tossed it to Dennis, and immediately headed to his room"Will be out in a few",Dennis took several gulps from the bottle and quickly changed into the Michael Kors suitShortly after dressing up, they headed off to pick up SandraUpon reaching her house, Dennis rang on the doorbell, and shortly after Sandra emerged wearing a black maxi dressWhen Dennis saw her, his eyes were glued to her and he reflexively muttered "Wow!",A look of awkwardness flashed across Sandra's face, but she nodded at Dennis and said "Thank you""I tried my best. You clean up nice yourself" she said, flattering DennisDennis smiled and extended his hand courteously "Are you ready?","Let's do this" Sandra replied, taking Dennis's handAfter some minutes of driving, they finally
The fat man glanced at Graham before placing a small wooden box on the table. Inside the box was a porcelain horn with a red dragon imprinted on the body of the horn, seemingly an ancient war horn. As soon as the box was opened, everyone present felt as though the hall had been filled with a hint of warm energy, and their eyes lit upSandra turned to Dennis and said "That's the ancient necromancer horn that the Druids, war servants of the emperor used to summon unnatural battle forcesThe market value for such a powerful relic today should be in the millions. It's definitely going to be worth at least fifteen million"Deshaun felt odd witnessing this auction. The world of powerful relics, restoration, and everything in between was new to him. He could not imagine what set of people would want to own a relic so dangerous, but then again, these were the same people who didn't care about the masses and considered themselves gods, just because they had moneyDennis glanced at her and mut
Dennis glanced at Graham and chuckled"You brat!" Graham yelled and stood up in annoyance"You're fucking dead!" He raged, marching towards DennisThe crowd gasped at the outburst, and a slight uproar happened in the hall as the security guards hurriedly grabbed him, pinning his hands behind his back"Mr Finley, compose yourself!" The fat man yelled "You're just a youngster, how dare you interrupt such an honorable event?" Michael Xavier, the old man sitting next to Travis glowered"You know the rules Mr. Finley", the fat man said disappointedlyOverwhelmed with spiteful emotions, Graham flared up "He played me. He's a con, get him out of here!" He yelled and the entire crowd gasped in shock again"Quiet!" Michael thundered"Don't you understand the rules of auction? As long as you're the highest bidder and no one contests your bid, you're automatically the winner of that auction. Besides I don't see what you have to complain about, you won an authentic Fellal necklace","Listen to h
"It's real" Sandra confirmedRight at this moment, the fat man announced "Ladies and gentlemen, we have the Vigla. This is an item that most of you are familiar withThis relic dates back further than the Kang dynasty. Emperor Schitzu himself was said to have once worn this mask in battle and snuck into the enemy's camp in the pretense of being their general", he said then paused dramatically and smiled"However, no one could tell it was him. What everyone saw was their general Zing" As he said this, the entire audience gasped in awe and started murmuring amongst themselves"Yes, ladies and gentlemen, this item is one of our most-priced items in the collection. Having the power to transform into anything, is just one of its many potential and benefitsThe mask not only allows you to change your appearance to that of anyone at will, but it also allows you to control the minds of peopleLadies and gentlemen, this is not just an ordinary item, this piece is worth every dime and penny of
Immediately the lights in the hall went out, everyone became frenzy. Deshaun immediately pulled out his phone and turned on the flashlight, searching for any infiltrators, while calling the police over Suddenly, there was a scream, and Deshaun turned his flashlight towards the stageAt this time, the fat man was sweating bullets and panicking, bundled up on the floor trembling in horrorDeshaun hurried towards him and squatted beside him, "They took it. They took the Vigla mask" the man said. Dennis Apollo was now a popular name amongst the higher-ups in the city and not someone he should ever piss off. Losing his mask right after he had made the payment was the worst thing that could happen to him, or at least he pretended to beOn the other hand, Dennis slowly strode past the frenzied crowd, heading towards the exit of the building.At this time the emergency red lights of the hall were flicking, illuminating the hall. Dennis spotted Diana heading towards the exit, trying to esca
