JacQuarius immediately went to pick up Tela after hearing about the auction.
Now with some money, a base of operations, and a solid team they just lacked everything cultivation-related.
Resources, Techniques, Heaven Animals, Artifacts, etc.
But he had a plan for all that, he just needed to play his cards right. And he had a huge advantage compared to everyone else, he had the PSIA agents.
With dead PSIA Agents' phones, those agents at the auction were basically his pawns.
All he had to do was play Chess, not Checkers, using all his pawns correctly.
Arriving at the makeshift building, he immediately entered since he came alone.
He had everyone doing their own tasks, preparing for the auction, he had big plans.
He had Kiyomi picking up formal clothing, Midnight was sent on an assassination mission, and Ian was preparing for any worst-case scenario.
"Yo Doc, how is he?"
"He's been ready, he's been on his phone the entire time waiting for you. I've explained everything to him, and he even offered to do the favor for you. Now you two leave, before you bring any unwanted trouble!"
Tela, seeing JacQuarius, immediately got up and dapped up JacQuarius.
"How you feeling my nigga? Dropped half a million to heal yo ass, you better be feeling like a god!"
"Man I don't know how to explain it, I just want to fight somebody. Actions speak louder than words."
They both headed out and began to walk to Neimans.
Heading inside Neimans, they immediately begin picking out clothes.
With their newfound wealth, he decided to drop 100k on a wardrobe for everyone.
JacQuarius chose a large amount of drip, but they originally came for a suit so he began looking at those as he walked around the store.
He then pulled out his phone and called Kiyomi.
"Kiyomi, go buy a Tesla straight off the lot in one of the PSIA Agent's name. Show them his/her ID and information if they ask for any shit to prove you're there for them. Get a cybertruck then come sweep me and Tela from Neimans. Hurry up too, shit might get hot."
He then hung up and finally chose his suit.
He picked out the Gucci Slim Fit Wool Suit. (Can google it, it's a real suit, if you're curious about how it looks)
"Tela you done yet?"
"Hold on nigga, I don't know if I want the Balenciaga triple s or the Dior b23's."
"Take them both, let's go, we gotta hurry and get to the auction before we miss any good shit."
They then carried a stack of clothes to the counter, completely burying the counter, the clothes overflowed and began to fall on the floor in all directions.
There were so many clothes, the employee couldn't see the cash register.
"Here's 100k in cash, give me my receipt so we can get changed and leave."
"Ummm sir, there is at least 200-300k worth of clothes here. You'll need to either leave or put some items back."
"Bitch we ain't putting shit back, give me the receipt before or else. I want a real nigga discount so 60% off everything making it 100k or I'm about to Queen Latifah set it off in this bitch!"
The worker immediately got scared, reaching under the table about to press the emergency button.
SLAP!
"Bitch you think we stupid? Why do you think we took so long getting the clothes, we were probing the place. I know your panic button is under the table, and this store has no security guards."
The worker, holding her reddened cheek, felt immediate fear. She still hadn't realized his identity.
Why?
Well, JacQuarius is obviously at a huge disadvantage in every fight because his right side is a huge blind spot.
So he put in a fake eye, to hide it.
Walking around with a missing right eye and his appearance gave away his location everywhere he went since he's not hard to recognize. The missing right eye was a dead giveaway.
"But sir I'll lose my job. Without this job, I won't be able to afford to take care of my kids."
JacQuarius then felt some compassion and came up with a plan instantaneously.
"Alright, fine I'll offer you a deal, this is your only chance. It ends in my Kawasaki Family becoming this store's sole protector and paying us a 20% protection tax monthly, but you'll get a raise and a serious bonus."
"How will it work?"
"Tela go outside and grab a random nigga."
Tela did as told, heading outside.
"Here's the plan, I'll knock this nigga out and leave him here. We'll go outside and cause a scene, and you'll be recognized as the 'female worker who fought off 3 men and protected the store,' if the store owner doesn't seriously compensate you and give you a raise then call me and I'll talk to him. I'm not hard to find, after all, I'm Akiba's Black Dragon. Take this 100k we're out!"
JacQuarius then darted out the door with the clothes.
"Tela knock that nigga out then throw him in the store."
JacQuarius then brings out his phone and calls Kiyomi.
"Where the fuck are you?"
"I'm at the end of the block. Come down here, I can't drive on the pathway with all those people there."
JacQuarius then shook his head and ran with Tela to the car.
They fit all the clothes in the truck, then took Kiyomi's gun and let off a few shots into the air.
"FUCK NEIMAN MARCUS!"
They then hopped in the car and Kiyomi sped off.
As she drove to the location, Tela and JacQuarius switched into their suits.
JacQuarius then called Ian.
"Ian are the preparations ready?"
"Yeah, I'm just sitting out here bored as fuck."
"Stay keen and vigilant, you never know what might happen."
He hangs up and then calls Midnight.
"Are them niggas dead yet?"
"They're both dead. It wasn't easy but we made a profit from it. They had a few artifacts on them."
"Alright, go to Ian and await my commands. Stay vigilant, we don't know who will be at this auction."
JacQuarius then hung up, as Kiyomi began to park the cybertruck in the parking lot of a small club.
"Let's immediately go in, we'll disguise ourselves as Tanaka family members. As the Tanaka family is keeping Kiyomi's betrayal a secret, we'll be her 'brothers.' Kiyomi use your charm to find the richest nigga inside the auction, and stick close to him. Try to get him to buy you shit, if he tries anything just call my phone, and I'll immediately feel the vibration and come to your aid. Now that we have the plan set, let's go!"
JacQuarius, Tela, and Kiyomi walked into the club with confidence, their formal attire exuding sophistication and elegance.
JacQuarius donned a sharp Gucci tuxedo, his demeanor oozing charm and charisma.
Tela looked dapper in a Christian Dior tailored suit, his posture commanding attention as he surveyed the room with a cool demeanor.
Kiyomi, stunning in a sleek evening gown, exuded poise and grace with every step she took. All the men couldn't help but admire her beautiful presence with her silk lavender hair.
As they made their way through the crowd, all eyes turned to the trio, their presence commanding respect and admiration.
The anticipation in the air was palpable as they took their seats, ready for the auction to begin.
Each of them was prepared to assert their dominance and make their mark on the event, their formal attire serving as a visual representation of their power and influence.
Kiyomi immediately got up and went to do her task.
The club buzzed with excitement as the auctioneer prepared to start, and the three of them were poised and ready to make their moves.
"HELLOOOOOOOOOO Everyone! We're going to be kicking off the auction in just a few moments, so I'll go over everything. The auction will be held in 5 rounds, the first will be Cultivation materials, the Second will be Techniques, the Third will be artifacts, the fourth will be inheritances, and the final round will be an open exchange for everyone! Now whoever wants to start, please come right on up to the stage!"
A man then walked up and listed a name of cultivation materials. The bidding instantly began.
"200k!"
"225k!"
Hearing the bids start so high, JacQuarius immediately gave up on his plan of getting some materials. He had bigger fish to fry!
This round and the 2nd quickly went by, and the host began to ask who would like to start the 3rd round.
JacQuarius and Tela immediately went up, beginning his plan.
"Hey everyone, I'm James and this is Jonathan, we're the twin dragons of the Tanaka Family. We found this thing at a flea market and looking to sell it for a fair price!"
JacQuarius then brought out the God Rank Artifact: Buddha's Love!
Everyone's eyes began to shine with intense need.
No one expected a God Rank artifact to be sold at this small auction, they all had the intention to get it.
"1 BILLION DOLLARS!"
The bids began to fly, so JacQuarius finally made his statement.
"Sorry everyone, but we're not looking for money. We're looking for cultivation materials, an Emperor or Legend Rank inheritance, and cash!"
Hearing the extremely high price, everyone began to show expressions of frustration.
"Don't worry everyone, I know the price is high, but that's because you all didn't let me finish. My Tanaka family is also offering an infant Heaven Rank Animal, a Celestial Earth-Shaking Kangaroo! We brought a vial of its blood to show proof that we have it, but it is still in our Tanaka family headquarters to remain safe and secure."
He then showed the vial to everyone, and let the host authenticate, she tasted a drop and confirmed it wasn't human blood but the actual blood of a Heaven Ranked Animal!
"Now let me list off our wants. We need cultivation materials for Space, Shadow, and whatever style the inheritance is. At least 100 million, and an Emperor to Legend Rank Inheritance of any style!"
With such a high price, the bids were extremely slow but much more worth it.
Hearing each bid, JacQuarius had to hold back his huge smile and take keen notice of each bid before finally picking one.
"25 Cultivation Materials Of Space and Shadow Style, an Emperor Rank Chaos Style Inheritance, and 100 cultivation materials for Chaos Style. Finally, I'll throw in 500 million in cash and offer a favor of any kind in the future!"
