After he set the rendezvous time with the hangar's seller Elliot turned his attention to security, he had thought about buying the services of a security agency as registered security guard are allowed to carry guns and that was what he needed.
Adventurers were still humans after all and nobody would dare make a move against him if he was surrounded by guns.
This time it was a lot easier, since he had made a great deal with the hangar Elliot called the closest security agency around him and rented the services of 50 security guards, all of them were registered and so all of them would carry weapons on that day.
The plan was sailing smoothly and finally all that was left was was advertising ! But first he wanted to buy the hangar and make sure he wouldn't have a bad surprise.

The next day Elliot met the middle aged business man who owned the hangar and spent a whole hour with him in a cafe, in the end the man still tried to bargain a better price but Elliot refused categorically, after making the deal yesterday he was set on having it for the cheapest possible price.
"Alright you win, 75 it is then."
"It was nice doing business with you."
Elliot smiled and the man shook his hand, Elliot looked at the time and decided to eat before taking care of the advertising, now he had already thought of a few things he could do to bring people to his auction.
After his lunch Elliot moved to a cyber cafe and turned on a computer as he didn't bring his old laptop with him when he moved to Australia that was the fastest way to proceed as he was way too lazy to buy a new computer and configure it, for now this would be enough.
Elliot had never been someone social so he obviously didn't have social media's accounts, on top of not being very social he also didn't have much time for useless stuff as he spent most of his time working during the last 6 years.
Today for the first time ever he opened F**ebook, the biggest social network at the moment from what he had read on random forums, his goal was to get the most people to come to his auction so he simply created an event the next day and called it :
[Large number of items from the breach auctioned.]
He then added the time and the address and it was done ! Elliot was almost ready, he just wanted to make sure that he would have customers and went to print flyers and handed them out at the breach.
After this busy day Elliot was feeling tired but he still had something to do as the hangar was completely empty for now, he ordered a large quantity of medium quality chairs that he got delivered there and a high platform on which he would be standing, the place didn't look too shabby but didn't look very good either, it was obviously made in a rush but since he had done all this in only three days Elliot was satisfied.
He started to wonder weather his voice could be heard from the back of the room when there were lots of people talking at the same time and he decided to buy a microphone and a sound system, he just bought the cheapest for now as he had started thinking about lots of other indispensable spendings.
'Alright let's stop it here for now, I'll make it look better when I'm rich enough. Tomorrow is the big day so I should sleep now.'

The next day Elliot left his hotel, for the occasion he was dressed in a pitch black suit as he was going to be on stage in front of lots of people and felt like it was better to leave a good impression.
He also shaved the beard that had been growing on him for the last few days, he never took the time to shave in the breach and so yesterday he had a too long of a beard for a 22 years old young man.
As he had woken up earlier Elliot took his time to eat breakfast at the hotel and then moved to the hangar.
'Taking 5 taxis a day is annoying, should I buy a car or a bike ?'
/
A few minutes later Elliot walked out of the taxi and was met by the guards who had arrived before him.
"Sir Evans ?"
"It's me, is everyone here ?"
"Yes sir, the 50 of us."
"Alright perfect, I'll let you decide on how you want to arrange yourselves. I mostly want you guys to frighten them so that nobody gets weird ideas, can you do it ?"
"Of course that's the biggest part of our job ! We rarely even get to protect someone, most of the time we just stand here scaring people away haha."
"Alright there is less than 20 minutes left, people should start arriving soon..."
Elliot scanned the area but there was still nobody except him and the guards... although twenty minutes was early it wasn't unusual for people to come a little bit earlier right ?
Then he checked his watch again and asked the chief of the guards.
"Uhmm is it normal that there is nobody yet ?"
"Oh you should check inside."
The guard slowly pulled the sliding door of the hangar and a ruckus suddenly escaped from the gap, at first Elliot couldn't hear anything but when the door was opened a cacophony of voices gushed out and assaulted his eardrums, he took a few steps ahead and was utterly shocked.
Just in case he had made a wrong calculation Elliot prepared 1000 chairs which he already believed was a lot more than necessary but there were so much people that some were standing, others were sitting on the cold floor, some madmen even found their way to the top of the horizontal pillars that held the ceiling !
Elliot looked at the guard and that one only shrugged, he was surprised too as they were only ordered to protect their client. They had no more informations on today's mission, that was Elliot's wish as he didn't want the guards to get greedy and make a plan ahead of time.
So the guard who had car here clueless about the depths of the mission couldn't help but be dumbfounded !
