Chapter 193: Chapter 193 - The Auction [ Part 4 ]
Adam and Carl were still waiting for the auction to start but they knew that the auction itself could start itself by now if it had wanted to.
The Great Houses were someone who were at the highest ranking in this planet, only ranking below the royal families but still the connections they had and the hidden power was something not even the royal families would ignore.
So the auction house remained quiet, waiting for the groups of people from different houses. Even though the auction house had some power and connections that could pull a lot of strings but they still waited as a show of respect to the great houses and some others similar to them.
Carl was drinking his third glass of high quality alcohol and as he was going for another gulp, he looked down to see that he had finished this one as well.
'Damn! This is the third glass, I had finished by now. Just how long are this people gonna make us wait for the real thing?'
He wanted to complain but looked at other people beside him. They too were waiting for the auction and some were like him, Irritated at being waited so long for the event.
But he noticed that not even one of them were going to complain about it. Even though they wore much finer clothes and he could see some high valued target among them, they still were as quiet as they can be.
Only sometimes getting angry at the time but the only thing they did were order more drinks or food to keep them occupied.
Carl looking at them also thought about refilling his drink. He raised his hands to the waiter and was about to call him.
Right before he could call the guy, Adam who was leaning on his chair and had been taking a rest, opened his eyes and spoke, "They're Here."
Carl didn't understand what he meant and was about to ask, "What do you mea-" but before he could he was interrupted.
Suddenly all the lights of the whole auction hall turned off.
Carl and the guests started to murmur and look around for some kind of explanation.
Carl asked, "What do you think happened? Did the fuse blow off or did someone do it intentionally?"
Adam who was still looking at the auction's stage said in a calm tone, "It was intentional."
"What! Does that mean the auction house is under some attack or is being looted?"
"No. It's because those people had finally arrived."
"Wha-" Carl could not finish his sentence as he was again cut off.
The stage where the auction house is going to showcase the items suddenly lit up as all the attention was directed towards it.
Carl, Adam and everybody else looked at the stage to see that there was a lone man standing there with a cane which stood in front of the man who supported is whole upper half of the body on the cane.
One look and the audience knew that it was all just for show. The lights turning off, the stage, the man in dark green clothes and even the cane was for show as the man didn't need the cane at all.
The man smiled under the intense light that hid his face. He saw that the effect he wanted to have happened as the crowd now looked only at him and all the attention was either towards him or on the stage.
The unknown man then used his cane to knock on the floor as a 'Thud' sound appeared and the lights that were turned off immediately lit up as the auction house's hall was once again filled with bright colors.
Suddenly being flashed by the lights made everyone close their eyes and rub them as to numb the effect it had on their eyes. But Adam, the groups in the second floor and some special person were able to shield their eyes from the flash of lights and could see what happened on the stage.
Carl also rubbed his eyes as he wasn't prepared for being flashed like that and as he opened his eyes, they were still a little hazy from the previous effect and slowly wore off.
"What the-"
Carl said as he looked at the stage to see that there were now three people on it.
The unknown man was still on the stage as he were but behind him were two girls on the left and right side.
What was even stranger were that the girls were wearing bunny girl outfits. The top part was in night black color with bright sparkles on it and the pants were a tight cloth which was rabbit white.
Even more captivating was that the outfit had two large bunny ears and a small tail behind them, making the already beautiful girls much more attracting to the groups of middle aged people.
Carl looked at the girls and blurted out, "The costume… Truly Heavenly."
William immediately broke the guy from his dreams as he said, "Carl! Focus on the mission."
Hearing his boss's clear voice from the small earplugs made Carl shiver as he straightened himself.
"You can ban* girls later in your apartment. For now focus on what's happening and not on the beautiful girls."
Carl didn't notice the last words but immediately replied, "Sorry Boss. I didn't know what got over me."
Adam from his side reprimanded him, "Quite man. Others might hear you and that will bring us a lot of problems so shut!"
Carl shut up as he looked at the ladies again.
In the hotel room, William and everyone's attention were on the tv screen as he said, "Carl should really be focusing on the job."
Delmar laughed from his side as he said, "Yeah but still the curves on the ladies…"
"Yeah, they are something." William said as he looked at the butts of the ladies.
The man on the stage smiled as he started talking.
"Good Evening, Ladies and Gentleman. I am Nigel De Null and this beautiful ladies behind me are my assistants Bunny 01 and Bunny 02." Nigel spoke with a french tone as his middle aged visage was shown.
"Say hi to the crowd, ladies."
Both girls in the bunny outfits said in a unified tone.
"Welcome, Masters and Madam. We are Bunny 01 and Bunny 02 and I hope that our appearance might be as appealing to you as we hope it is."
Hearing the beautiful voice and the unified acts of the ladies made the men smile lecherously as they spoke to their male companions about some very nasty details.
Nigel could see the disgusting faces that most of the middle aged rich fat asses were making but didn't comment on it as he gave a smile and said.
"First of all, Welcome to Heaven Defying Auction House.
And we thank you beautiful people for attending to our prestigious event, Which I can say for certain will satisfy everyone in this hall."
Adam thought with a smirk on his face, 'Someone is very sure of himself.'
Nigel then said with another knock off his cane.
"Without wasting any more of your time, let's start the show now, shall we?"
