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
Rob remained quiet for some time, then turned to Dennis "If I tell you, I need you to assure me that nothing will happen to me. I'll face no jail term" he said trying to capitalise on this situation to ensure his safetyDennis stared at him coldly. How dare he give him an ultimatum after trying to scam him?However, he realized that if he was to get this fat slob to give him the information, he'd need to play along with his demands. With that flowing in his mind, Dennis turned to Deshaun and said "Is that something you can do Mr Mayor?",Deshaun glared at Rob, disgusted by the nervous grin on his face. He felt that the fat man deserved anything that happened to him at this point. Because of his greed, this fool had condemned the entire world to the hands of a psychotic man with a big Napoleon complex, and now they were supposed to protect him.If anything, Rob deserved to be thrown in prison and forgotten about.However, he knew that this was probably the only way to get the mask bac
After having a short and explanatory conversation with the police, Dennis gave them the details of the item stolen and the scheme that was going onLeaving Deshaun with the police, Dennis turned and headed towards the lobby, followed by SandraShe rushed, grabbed his hand, and turned him around"Why?" She repeated again"What?" Dennis turned slowly and asked Sandra in confusionShe scoffed and grabbed his hand, pulling him aside "The girl, Diana Finley. I saw you, you allowed her to escape. You could have stopped her, but you let her go, why?", she asked with curiosity and a slight frown creasing her browsDennis was taken aback upon hearing Sandra's words. He had not expected anyone to notice that. In truth, he could not figure out exactly why he had allowed Diana to go. It would have been simpler to find out what her uncle was up to if she had been capturedHe could not help but sigh. Why did Diana join his uncle when she seemed so innocent and even helped him to defeat her uncle, L
When they finally approached the Mariner, Dennis parked the car and instructed Sloane to go home. There was no need to endanger her lifeWithout any arguments, Sandra did as she was instructed and got into a can heading back to her apartmentAs soon as Dennis parked the car, a call entered his phone immediately. Glancing at Deshaun, he hesitantly answered it"Hello nephew", Jon's deep voice sounded over the microphone"I heard you've been looking for me", he said teasinglyA deep wrinkled frown immediately formed on Dennis's forehead as he spoke "What do you want you old bastard?",Jon chuckled as he asked him in a mysterious manner "Isn't it obvious at this point, I'm not here to negotiate anything with you. I'm already taking everything I want",Dennis hesitated for a moment before replying "Come on Jon, we all know that is not what you really want, is it?""You know I've been thinking about it, trying to figure out why you've decided to show up now. After years of hiding behind you
As soon as he heard those words, Dennis's face turned red with anger. This entire time he had been searching everywhere for who was responsible for his mother's death, when in truth it was his uncle all alongHe swallowed angrily trying to control his temper, then snorted coldly "You are going to wish you had stayed in jail, Jon"Jon chuckled before replying "Guess, it'll be pointless to ask you to turn over the company and house deeds and make this all simple, wouldn't it?","I'll be seeing you, Jon," Dennis said and then ended the call immediately.He turned towards Deshaun who had heard everything and had a sympathetic look towards him.Without saying anything, Dennis immediately ignited the car in a fit of rage and wanted to drive off when suddenly Deshaun grabbed his hand, removing it from the steering wheel"Dennis! Dennis! Listen to me!" He spoke hurriedly"This is what he wants, to throw you off your game. He knows we're on to him, so he's going to say anything to trigger you
