EYE OF THE STORM

"Welcome to the twenty fifth annual Auction run by the House of independent trade association. I am your host Kaptin Big D!" 

It's so nice to come here every year. Although the attendants keep getting smaller and smaller the energy here never changes. 

"Oh Hades please refrain from betting in the military arms section okay we actually need it." Princess Laura says fanning herself down.

"I'm not here to bet I'm here to sell." I say with a smile.

"Yeah then our chance of success raises." Princess Laura then puts on a beaming smile.

She really is naive you don't every show your desperate in getting something because the other will try to buy it then sell it at a higher price.

"So that means your the only one here in that industry don't worry I will ensure your victory." Asami says cuffing her hands together then bows.

"I as well since we don't need any military equipment."Andrea Goule says while smoking a cigar.

Two of the biggest crime family backing someone, I highly doubt any would run against her anyways.

"Now let's begin first take your eyes and feast on these lovely beauties." Coming out of the this time are bluish white in colour.

"These belong to the last first wife of the last president from the King family, Daniel King." He says and the place is quiet after all number here want those.

"Going, once going twice sold!" 

Like that the first sale went without problems.

"Next is something sure to wet your tongue." This it's a gold trident covered in blue gems.

"Don't judge this by it's looks because these gems aren't ordinary gems, they are parts of Spirit beast core!" 

Oh a beast weapon that's rare but one made using Spirit beast core aren't worth anything to someone with a good enough codex.

"Hey Princess what is a beast weapon.?" La puppeteer ask her Princess who's glasses shine hear we go.

"They are Weapons imbued with cores that allow them to use the ability of the beast it was from. Like Warmonger Soul Scythe or That girl, Death Spade light bringer." Yep of course those two would have one, from what I remember those two are using a Mythical beast core.

"200,000 I hear 200,000, what 210,000 I hear 210,000, what 250,000 I hear 250,000 , oh my 300,000 going once going twice sold to the Mayor of Delmore." 

Even if I say that to ordinary people these things are a life savior. 

"Next something very precious to us, the property rights and businesses contracts that belong to the Vennetti's!" 

It's only been a day since their destruction yet still these bastards are able to bring these up so fast. They truly are capitalist.

"The starting bid is 1,000,000!" 

"1.5 million." Asami says raising up her number.

"1.8 million." Andrea responds with while smiling.

"2 million." The person who says so is a member or rather the member of the Capone family Giovanni Capone the Godfather of Capone the youngest in history.

"2.5 million" Haruo Nobunaga says with a smile on his face. 

"3.5 million old man are sure you at the right place." Giovanni says and all his goons laugh at the "joke."

"Young one know your place, respect your elders." Haruo says rubbing his beard.

"You got the elder part right atleast." Andrea says smiling at the shame the  Nobunaga Daiymo is facing. 

"4 million." Asami says trying to get ahead.

"4.5 million dollars." Haruo says. 

"6 million." Giovanni says letting out a chuckle. 

"This boring why are you guys slowly raising the price." Princess Laura says to both Andrea and Asami who let out a self deprecating laugh. 

"It's to gauge our opponents, I've seen enough though 30 million dollars." Asami says raising up a loud uproar in the building.

Haruo Nobunaga places down his fan then sit back and sigh. 

"The Vennetti mansion was destroyed yesterday and St.Ellis is taken over by rebels, it's not worth the cost." Andrea says putting down his fan.

"What a bold and smart move no wonder you are the Shogun of the Ryu clan." Giovanni says placing down their fan aswell. 

This round goes to Asami bravo.

"Wasn't the price she got that for five times the last bid." Princess Laura ask while whispering to me.

"The actual price of the all the Vennetti family would have been 100 million, but with their destroyed mansion and all of their members dead or missing and the seastone trade lost no way the price could stay up. Especially with how vindictive the criminal world can be." Princess answers in my stead. 

The cruel cold world of crime.

"Next something we are proudly representing the Yamamoto clan for. The Hawkeye second second generation model." 

What was unfold this time wasn't the actual thing since it's too large to fit in here more like a small replica model. It's army green in colour with the Futam national Flag on both side. They are two elongated iron at the front most likely their guns. It looked like a metal hawk.

"These are fighters planes although they are outdated they are more than worth it. They are hundred of these available for purchase starting at 20,000 per bird!" 

"2 million dollars for all planes." Princess Laura says with a smile on her face.

"2 million from the beautiful princess will anyone challeng her!" 

"2.5 million, I am proud citizen of Futam I can't allow foreigners to get our preciousmilitary technology." A old man says raising his fan.

"4 million." Princess Laura says ignoring the man much to his suprise. 

"Four million dollars! How will the president of southern military Corporation respond!" 

"4.5 million Princess Laura there is more than enough planes for both of us." 

"5 millio, sorry but my pride as a member of royalty won't allow me to give up." Princess Laura says to everyone with a big smile on her face. 

"If that case you can gave them." The old man says putting down his fan.

Oh wow this round was overwhelming. Maybe she does have some skills in negotiations.

"Next on the list will be another military assets, the famed Rhino heavy tank that protected our troops in the Mappan attack that happened ten years ago!"

Despite being a replica it's quite chunky like really chunky. Although from my perspective it just looks like a box with a cannon on it a green and black box but a box no less.

"Just like the Hawkeye second generation model theirs one hundred here starting at 50,000 a piece." 

"Well this is not something my brother is interested in we did randomly found a Rhino tank strolling towards us."

I'm not sure if I should be proud or concerned, anyways like that another round ended peacefully. The southern military Corporation head looks on both happy and depressed at the same time.

"The next item on the list will surely wet lips, known as the Blue Thunder it's made of almost entirely of a Mythical Beast core!" 

The item that got everyone riled up is a small floating cube filled with what looks like a thunder bolt. 

"Staring price is 1 million dollars." 

"1.5 million." 

"2 million." 

"3 million." 

"4 million ." 

"5.5 million." 

Like the battle for the beast weapon begins. From here I can confidentiality say that beast weapon is one of if not the strongest of it's class. 

"6 million a beast weapon this will be a fine addition to my collection." Harou Nobunaga says rubbing his beard.

"7 million, old man with old money give up now that thing will never be yours." Andrea says to Haruo who stares back intensely.

"8 million dollars." Asami says raising her fan.

"9 million, sorry lady Asami my family might be only in the Military industry but even we need something to show our power." Sai Yamamoto says while bowing apologetically.

"No worries in this world we must each do what we must." Asami says then put down her fan signaling her retreat. 

"How touching but in this world power is what matters not respect, 10 million dollars!" Giovanni says holding up his fan with a proud smile on his face.

"I absolutely agree with you but power comes with age, am I not right Harou Nobunaga 15 million dollars." The old man from the southern military Corporation says with a smile on his face.

"You old men truly wanted to prove don't you Alright then 20 million." Andrea says putting down his fan. 

"This is mr. Goule final bet, will anyone stop his bet." Kaptin Big D says with a smile on his face.

"Poor as always best to join us since we actually pay a decent wage 22 million." Giovanni says waving his fan around energetically.

"25 million dollars!" A suprise entry by Death Spade atleast on the surface.

"30 million dollars. Miss please stay out of the way of adults when they working." Giovanni says fanning of Death Spade who looks on confused but also slightly upset. 

"Adults what a funny term now know your place 40 million dollars." Oh Harou says but it's too late, he will making a move now.  

"70 million dollars." With a load vibrating voice he commands the presence of everyone here. 

"Going once going twice and sold."

Another uneventful bidding how great.

"Now the main even that you all have been waiting for courtesy of the Shogun of the Ryu clan, a Spirit beast core of a fire beast!" 

It truly is beautiful almost as red as Princess red hair, it stands out with it's shape alone but with it's aura it shines even more magnificently. 

"The starting price of 100 million dollars!" Now the true uproar as begin.

" 500 million dollars." A old man wearing red mask says.

"1.5 billion." A youth dressed in a plain white suits says. I haven't noticed him at all during the auction.

"Princess who is he?." 

"He is Prince Henry brother of the crown prince of Mappa behind him are the famed angel guards." Oh I see guess they managed to sneak in as usual or rather let in no one is refusing good money.

"3 billion, filthy Mappan return back home now." A old man says with his men behind him begins to place their pockets.

"Who is that old man as well?" I ask her 

"He is Theodore Washington uncle of the current president of Futam." She says with her glasses constantly shining. 

"Anyone who fight here will feel the full force of Flock." Oh no way I'm allowing them to ruining my segment after I got this far.

"4 billion, big brother would praise me for bringing this home." Princess Laura says not reading the mood or the she.

"Don't worry Hades unlike these filthy Futam cowards I have pride 5 billion." Prince Henry says with a condescending look on his face. 

"You northerners, really love to talk in the southern island we show not tell 7 billion." I see that's the King original purpose.

"I fear no one not even you King, 10 billion dollars." Prince Henry says drinking wine from his glass. 

"15 billion dollars!" The old man says raising his voice and fan.

"20 billion." Prince Henry says causing the old man to deflate.

"25 billion dollars." The King says then prince Henry places down his fan. So it's my victory. 

The auction is over well that's a quick buck in hand. Walking up to King we both begin to shake hands until he grip my hands tightly.

"Hades, a pleasure to deal with you." 

"You seem to be doing alot better than the last time we meet." I say squeezing his arm back.

"Yes of course. Unlike you I'm blessed by the universe , everything and anything revolves around me." He says with big smile on his face.

"Really now your still stuck in your head anyways pay up." I say dragging my hands away from him. 

"1A pay this man his due money." King says to one of his girls who nods then hands me a card that's gold tinted.

"Pleasure doing business with you." I say to him.

"Hey Giovanni guess what, I quit." Grandmaster says walking towards the core then easily dispatch the guards protecting it.

"I live for one thing and one thing alone and that's to fight. I can't allow the chance to fight both you guys. Now this is mine." 

"(One arm style: Flash strike)." Before he could touch the core a purple blade comes down block his path.

"My client order me to kill you Grandmaster." Death Spade says with ferocious look in her eyes. 

"Since you guys don't want it, I will gladly take it." Prince Charles says causing his men to run towards the gem.

Theodore Washington men rush after him. The Nobunaga and the Ryu is having full on battle. The Goule and Capone have drawn their guns. Can't this auction goes one year with a bloodbath.

"(Open vault)." 

"(Infinite: amplification)." 

"(God hand: second stage)." 

"A real shame isn't it."

I say unleashing my aura and charge at Grandmaster.
