Looking at the majestic black and red building that gave off a secretive, dangerous, and majestic feeling I knew I was at the right place.
The Heaven and Hell auction house was a place where all the elites and secret organizations came to bid for extraordinary and mythical items and do business. There are many rumors and stories surrounding the place as some say it's a front that the emperor uses to keep tabs on the elite of the Federation, while others say that the place is owned and run by a secret organization that is as old as the Federation itself and only the current and past emperors know of their existence. Either way, it is a place where some of the rarest and most exotic things are auctioned off. If you want something that you can't get from the store or even the back channels of the underworld, nine times out of ten the auction house has it.
Taking my steps towards the entrance I suddenly heard a voice "Yo Hakari, the fuck you doing here? Shouldn't you be at school learning something and getting pussy?" the loud voice that I would recognize anywhere said drawing attention.
I turned my head and smiled seeing the amused look on Everen's face. Everen was the most carefree out of all my uncles as he acted the most kidlike out of the three even though he was the oldest. He may look like he is in his late twenties but he was actually hundreds of years old.
"I'm here to do some last-second preparations and try to find a new katana Everen. You know I can't go to the academy with that piece of shit that Vincent crafted, with how I publically embarrassed Zantar there will surely be people coming for me." I responded and to be honest the first few weeks of the academy were going to be the most annoying. I'm sure Zantar is probably trying to call a hit out on me or something and is probably paying out the ass since no one is dumb enough to accept a job like this. It's not even thanks to my family it's just black dragons in general, they are very combat-oriented that it is not even a joke. The only people who can honestly compare are the shadow hydras in my opinion as they are not to be underestimated in any way at all.
But assassination is the least I am worried about. Thanks to Astral Transcendence my perception is so high that sneaking up on me is impossible. The only people who can do that is anyone in the realm of dao and I am one hundred percent sure Zantar will not go overboard, not because he has nothing to give but because his pride is far too high for him to do something like that. But I do regret what I did back there and let my annoyance get the best of me, now thanks to what I did by showing off my demonic dao I'm sure he will stay as far away from me as possible and put himself around as much security as he can. Of course, this doesn't really bother me thanks to my assassination skills, but this just makes my work far more time-consuming, and if it wasn't for the fact that I have to be the one to kill him I would've put crypto on his head already.
But what are you doing here Everen? Shouldn't you be busy fucking? I remember father chasing you out of the house because you wasted his vintage wine on some whores." I laughed thinking about the memory when my father threw Everen out of the roof of the estate when he was his precious wine collection being wasted. I and Treysin laughed until we almost passed out and I even remember grandfather sneaking out the leftover bottles.
"We don't speak on that." He said quickly, looking around to see if anybody heard our conversation. "I'm here since I heard that some amazing things even by the standards of the auction are being sold today and in case you didn't know ever since you founded crypto the family's relationship with the auction has risen. Even though it has always been good for a reason that I don't know but it has gotten better thanks to you. But enough about that let's go inside the auction is about to start." He said putting his shoulder around me while leading me to the front door.
As we walked to the door I thought we would be asked about our identities but shock filled me when Everen somehow had my ticket in his hand and showed it to the doorman. When he saw the tickets his body went stiff as he bowed and said "Members of the Kenji Family of the Black Dragon Clan. We already have a private room set up for you two, just go ahead."
I showed no emotion as I just said thanks and let Everen lead me up the stairs and brought me to the luxurious private room. It had a large couch that was able to fit seven people, a bed for some reason, and a large one-way window that gave us a view of the auction house below. I had to be honest I was impressed by their service of us.
I took my seat next to Everen as we look down at the packed auction house that had people who were just getting settled in their seats.
Everen looked for a little while before he asked "Do you think you can do it?"
"Kill Zantar? Definitely. Although it might take a little more work due to what I did to him during orientation but it won't be that much of a bother." I answered. Killing Zantar will not be hard but the investigation will be hectic since I'm sure Duke Valerian himself and the top elders of the House will make sure they find the culprit and the culprit will for sure be found, just not the right one.
The lights went dim and the curtains opened to reveal a alluring light skin maiden with curly brown and hair and orange eyes. She was curvaceous but not as wild as the empress or Calysto but was enough to make men stare.
"Welcome to the Heaven and Hell Auction House. We hope you guys brought you bank accounts since ever item we sell will have you on the edge of your seats and you all will for sure leave this place with new enemies."
