After Alex and the others took their seats, they spent another half an hour waiting for the other buyers to arrive and for the auction to start. At that time they had spent it looking at the guests that had arrived, at least those who had their faces out in the open as just like the three of them, most of the buyers had on masks. Of the people that had arrived here, Alex recognized two people without being told who they were.
The first being Red Dragon, the man who now had the privilege of being called his step father, but in the end even that was just in name. And the second person happened to be the second prince, or some people would say, the tenth prince seeing as he was the tenth and final child of the current Emperor. Either way, the Auction hadn't started yet, so Louis used the extra time he had on hand to explain to Alex what had led to the Aenz automobile industry backing out of their signed deal.
