Heero's plan - Part 4

Ten minutes before the auction started, in another private room on the second floor of Vermillion Auction House. Two men were chatting, one was a man in his early twenties while the other man was in the mid-thirties.

"Uncle Yan, I heard Vermillion Auction House will auction a Gold Class and Legendary Class weapon tonight, is it true?" the man in his early twenties asked. Even though he called the older man with an uncle, but the way he spoke was more into interrogative tone.

The person called Uncle Yan smiled, "Yes, this information is legit. I got this information from the insider."

"But Young Master Boxun, it's hard for us to get that legendary Class sword. I heard Vermillion Auction House informed all Emperor Class Heroes and all Legend Class Rankers about they will auction a Legendary Class weapon. My advice is, we better focus to get the Gold Class sword instead." The man in his mid-thirties voiced his thoughts regarding the auction.

"Hmm," the young man nodded in agreement, "So who is coming?"

"Four Emperor Class heroes and ten Legend Class rankers are coming. But I don't know who is attending the auction, but I heard Musashi Naizen back from the dungeon to attend the auction."

Uncle Yan briefly paused and replied afterward. The person called Uncle Yan seemed to be respectful to the young man.

After that, the young man stopped asking.

Knock! Knock!

The door suddenly knocked twice and a person wore white martial clothes entered the room. Uncle Yan and the young man turned toward the door.

The man in white martial clothes knelt before Uncle Yan and the young man, "Young Master Boxun, Master!"

Young Master Boxun nodded his head while Uncle Yan frowned.

"What's wrong?" Uncle Yan questioned the man in white martial clothes who was also his disciple. He already told his disciples to not disturb him and Young Master Boxun except for something important.

One disciple came now which also meant there was something important had happened.

"Master, that man also come here!"

"That man also comes?" Uncle Yan's frown was getting deeper, but then he had a dark smile on his face, "I was looking for a chance to pay back, but he has presented that chance to me now."

"What's wrong?" Young Master Boxun asked curiously.

Uncle Yan told what happened to his disciples three months ago. It was the incident where his youngest disciple Dong Gong crippled.

Yes, this Uncle Yan was Yan Tie, the head of Iron Fist Martial House. Meanwhile, the person called Young Master Boxun was the eldest grandson of the Ming Group's head, Ming Boxun.

Yan Tie told everything about what happened to his disciples. Young Master Boxun listened to the story with an interesting look.

"Oho, there's someone strong enough to cripple Dong Gong in the outer region. I want to invite him to join Ming Group, but if that person dared to disregard Ming Group just like you said, he is not needed. Ming Group only needs a loyal dog, not a dog who bites its master…"

"What a pity, what a pity such an interested person like him has to die… What a pity… What a pity… Do you know what you have to do, right Uncle Yan?" Young Master Boxun shot a cold glare to Yan Tie.

Yan Tie smiled and nodded. There was a part he did not tell Young Master Boxun. It was Kang Family who meddled in his business. Kang Family told him to not look for Heero anymore.

However, there was no way Yan Tie would afraid of the declined family just like Kang Family. A family with only Crown Ranker as the strongest. Ming Group was stronger than Kang Family, it was what Yan Tie believed.

That was why he was not afraid of Kang Family's warning as long as he had Ming Group as his back up.

"I know, Young Master Boxun," Yan Tie replied with an evil smile on his face.

…...

The auction started, but Heero did not expect the auction on Earth was so borings. The items auctioned just trivial items such as jewelry, an old car, a limited edition car, a luxurious villa, land outside the city, etc.

In Heero's eyes, the auction was not that interesting at all, but it was different when it came to the two girls. They were talking about jewelry, the villas, etc. Hearing the two sisters talked about, Heero felt that he needed to work harder to make the district alive. More people more money and they could get what they wanted.

Aside from hearing the talk between the two sisters, Heero was just boring to death. There was no single item that interested him.

It was different from the auction on Dramonia. An auction house on Dramonia usually auctioned a rare material, such as ore, herb, or even beast precious part. Not only material, but weapons, armor, potions, or other treasures.

As for Lan Lan, she was busy with the food provided by the auction house. The table now filled with food she ordered. Because the auction would last until 10 pm, the auction house prepared dinner for the guests.

It was rare to enjoy expensive food, Lan Lan ordered a lot of them. Now, she was devouring the food on the table. She did not care at the auction at all. As for Blacksmith Huang, he seemed also had little interest at the auction.

7.30 pm

"Now we will show one of the main items for tonight auction. The item is for the heroes and rankers, it's a sword made by an unknown blacksmith, Huang Jun. Even though this blacksmith has no fame, but he made a good sword, Gold Class sword. Our blacksmiths have also checked the sword, this sword is indeed a Gold Class sword."

A hunky man in his thirty announced through the microphone on his hand.

When the words Gold Class sword came out from the hunky man's mouth, the audience buzzed.

Weapons were also classified into different classes, just like heroes and rankers. The lowest was Wood Class, a weapon used hunting by Butcher Wang before. Butcher Wang's butcher knife fell under Wood Class weapon.

From the lowest to the highest, it started from Wood Class, Bronze Class, Silver Class, Gold Class, and Legendary Class.

Actually, there was also another higher class weapon than a Legendary Class, Supreme Class. However, people would exclude this class out because this weapon never came out to the public.

The Seven Realms Sword made by Legendary Blacksmith was at Legendary Class. Supreme Class would never put under an auction.

Gold Class sword was a good sword. Usually, the blacksmith would sell the sword in their shop or sell the sword directly to a famous hero or some big organizations. It was still worse compared to Legendary Class, but Gold Class weapon sought by everyone.

It was rare to find a Gold Class weapon sold or auctioned like this. On the big screen right behind the stage, a woman wore a sexy attire brought a case with trolley.

The hunky host took the case and put it on the table. The case made of wood, about two and a half meters. The host opened the case and showed a sword without a sheath inside the case.

The giant screen showed a silver sword glistening under the bright light inside the case. It was Blacksmith Huang's sword showed to Heero three days ago.

"Vermillion Auction House's chief blacksmith has verified this sword is a Gold Class sword! The price starts from 500,000 WD and you can only raise the offer at least 100,000 WD…" The hunky man had not finished his words, but the audience started their bids.

On the giant screens, there was a sword picture, below the picture, there was a serial number. That number was the bid. In an instant, the bid rose to five million. It shocked Han Ying, Hong Yu, and even Heero.

Looking at the number, Heero stupefied. A sword that worse in quality then his sword was this expensive. The number kept changing every second, it kept changing and stopped at 12,500,000 WD.

It paused a moment and it jumped out once again to 13,000,000 WD. The bidding war continued and stopped when it reached 16,700,000 WD.

Blacksmith Huang's sword was sold for almost seventeen million WD. Heero looked at the screen in a daze. He was working to get money to marry his girlfriend, but Blacksmith Huang could get 16,700,000 WD in one night.

But then, the daze Heero turned overjoyed, his sword was better in quality and it also auctioned here. This meant he could get more money than Blacksmith Huang.

The bored Heero turned excited now. He also began savoring the food with Lan Lan. The auction house told Blacksmith Huang his sword would be the last show. He had to fill his stomach until then.

The boring auction continued, another two hours had passed, there were no items that really interested Heero. He spent most of his time on food just like the little glutton Lan Lan instead of watching the auction.

As for Blacksmith Huang, he was sleeping. Yes, after his sword was sold, he had no interest to watch the auction. If not for waiting for Heero, he might get home already.

Even Hong Yu and Han Yin had lost their interest in watching the auction. The two sisters were sleeping on the comfy sofa. Leaving a big glutton and a little glutton.

Lan Lan stopped eating, "Woah, I am sooooooo fullll!"

She let out a satisfied groan as she rubbed the bulging belly of her.

"Teacher Xing I want to go to the toilet. I need to unload some 'cargo', so I can get more space for the food that I haven't tasted yet."

In short, she wanted to poop and came back to eat more. This was the third time she said this. After that, she ran out of the room.

"Oy, call the pretty sister to accompany you!" Heero called Lan Lan.

"It's okay, Teacher Xing, I already know where the toilet is, so I can go alone!" Lan Lan replied as she ran out.

Heero nodded his head. Lan Lan was sensible, only became mischevious to someone close to her. So, Heero let Lan Lan go with ease.

However, Heero later regretted his decision so much to let Lan Lan going alone. He enjoyed the steamed giant crab on the table.

Five minutes, Lan Lan still not back yet.

"This little glutton is sure unloading many cargos…" Heero shook his head with a funny smile.

Five minutes later, Lan Lan still not back yet. Heero was worried, after all, this place was not hospitable for them who came from the outer region. Afraid something happened to Lan Lan, Heero stood up and intended to look for Lan Lan.

Heero went out and turned to the right. The toilet was at the end of the corridor. He somehow felt uneasy inside and hastened his steps.

When he almost reached the toilet, he found five attendants in black and white gathered around there. They seemed to block a man who looked furious.

Across the furious man, there was a little girl in a blue dress. The little girl had her head leaned on the wall, blood flooded from out from her head, from her forehead and the left side of her head.

The little girl had her eyes half-closed and half-opened, with tears mixed with her blood from her head.

"I…. a-am…. S-sso...sowwy…" it was what little girl uttered before her body fell to the white carpet that covered the floor.

Heero recognized this little girl, this little girl was Lan Lan. Even suffered heavy injuries on her head, she still apologized and fainted.
