Seeing my reaction. Max misunderstood something. He is smiling, said, "You are right, it's for special element users. But, it's a known fact that, no one with lightning element appeared."

Hearing that, I came back to reality. I don't know what to answer. If I told him to buy that thing. He would be scared right now.

Meanwhile, the old man at the podium. He didn't move to the next item. He is waiting for people to bid. Seeing that, no one was able to bid after ten minutes. "As expected life is more important than this stone" The old man muttered to himself..

People would be running for their life. Even if they mistakenly bid for this item. Meanwhile, in other separate three rooms. Will Roach, Frank Terry, and Bernard Barks. The trio was individually looking at this auction in separate rooms.

There is no one behind them. To not arose any suspicious activity. They didn't bring their aid with them. Frank Terry remained silent. He seems to think something else. His mind is not on auction. Crazy ran through his mind.

He is imagining the robbing situation. But every possible outcome resulted in bad. He is getting the ominous feelings. In another room, Unlike Frank Terry. Bernard is taking nap. He plans to wake up at the time of the robbery.

He doesn't want to bid anything. Unlike both of them. Will Roach is observing everything from his room. He is very attentive. He ordered his men to rob the items.

Once the bidding was done. His men will rob at transaction floor. He hired a team of five people. The five were currently hiding at a different locations. All of them were Early Special Trainee Warriors.

The five people were outsiders. He made deal with them to have an equal share of the treasure. They were disguised as Staff. So, Will Roach is waiting for an auction to be over.

Meanwhile, in Zack's room.

"Sigh" I sighed in my heart. Thinking no one is bidding for the item. Earlier, I made a deal with a fatty that he will buy the auction item that I like. But, seeing lighting stone I couldn't do anything. It's not wise to bid it. It will expose my identity. And then I will be targeted even more.

Time passes, few items were auctioned simultaneously. Max is not interested in these items. So, I didn't bid for it. Every item that were shown after the affinity stone was ordinary. Nothing special about it like research documents.

"Meditation Mat Artefact"

Base Price: 10 k credit points.

Type: Effective under Special Trainee.

Seller: Anonymous.

"Zack, Bid for this item," Max told me. I waste no time to bid for it. I asked him," is it really good?" I wonder why he wants this item. I can enter into meditation without artifact.

Hearing Zack's question. "Not all people can enter into deep meditation. Like me there are people. Who can't enter into deep meditation without external help? This Mat artifact provides an amazing effect.

Which helps people to calm their minds. And unknowingly they enter into deep meditation. It's an amazing artifact for us. Hearing Max's explanation I nodded at him. I started to bid for this item.

Once I bid for this item. I saw the old man from the podium looking at us. I don't like his eyes. No one is bidding for this item except us. I wondered. Max told me people will cause him trouble if they knew Max was the bidder.

"What happened to your competitors? They are not rising the price. " I turned toward Max and asked him. "It's just a Mat. This is not useful for them and they don't know your bidding on behalf of me" Max answered.

I nodded at him. Since no one is bidding. In the end, We successfully bid for this Mat. We can collect at this item after the auction was over. Seeing Max got what he want. I really expect some useful things to appear next.

I couldn't do it for lightning stone. Hope there will be something similar to this.

"Ancient Tribal Paintings".

Base price: 50K Credit points.historical

Type: Painting.

Seller: Anonymous.

Seeing this item, my gut feeling tells me to buy it. But, my brain tells it is a normal painting. I don't know what to decide. But, finally, I made my mind to bid for it.

"Max, I need this item," I told Max. Max got surprised hearing that. "It's just a painting. Only artistic people will buy it as a collection. It's not useful for warriors in any way." Max answered. I don't know how to reply to that.

"I want this item. Even it's not useful for me." I told Max. Max sighed seeing my conviction. Then he allowed me to bid for it. Wasting no time I bid for it. Like Mat artifacts, luckily no one bid for it. Because of it, I got a successful bid.

I can have it later after the bidding was done. Soon, several items are shown. I bid one or two items for Max. Like he said there are people who raise the bid purposely. But, we did not continue to bid for it.

We move on to the next auction items. Time went by, we made two successful bids after mat. Max was pleased with it. He decided not to bid for anything further. Even I got what I wanted. Max is annoyed by the painting. He told me that, I wasted my opportunity. I should have bid for something else.

I shook my head hearing that. We were watching the old man in the podium. Patiently waiting for bidding to be over. There are some items sold like hotcakes. Some hours later, the old man declared the auction was over.

"It's time to collect auction items," Max said with a smile. I'm pleased with today's auction. It's eye-opening for me. Especially, the lightning stone. Max explained to me that, it's a mini-auction. The things auctioned here were ordinary items compare to the Grand auctions.

Hearing about Grand Auction. I had anticipation in my heart. I want to participate in something like that and bid for items that I like. For that, I need to get richer. After the bidding was done. We remained in our room.

The transaction location will be shown on monitor screen. Once it was shown I can go and collect there. Soon, Max transferred all the credit points for the purchase to my account. Only the bidder can go and collect the items. Max won't be accompanying me.

"So, where can I meet you?" I asked Max. "We can meet at the Leki restaurant. Leki restaurant run by my father's friend. I will be waiting for you there" explained Max.

I nodded at him. Suddenly, the monitor screen has shown the transaction location for bidder Zack. It was 8th-floor room number nine.

Seeing that, "It's time "I commented in my heart. "Let's go Zack" Max uttered. Hearing that, I got up from the seat and exited the room. Max also exited the room. He will be waiting outside at leki restaurant.

We separated here. I move towards the 8th floor. Meanwhile, the old man from the podium disappeared once the auction was done. He is observing everything from the side-lines.

People who had successfully bids going to their transaction location. But he is waiting for one particular room. There was a sharp glint in his eyes. When he saw Zack and Max excited the room. He saw both of them separated there went in different directions.

"Look like the kid name Zack is going for transaction location and the target is moving outside." The old man muttered He wastes no time in following Max. The old man changed his disguise. The moustache is not a real one it's a fake identity.

Now he is wearing a face mask of a different person. As Max was entering the lift. The old man caught up with him. "Hey, kid wait a second" the old man started to put up a performance. Hearing that, Max stopped his movement He was inches away from the lift's door.

Meanwhile, Zack entered the 8th floor. I saw there were a hundred rooms on the 8th floor. People dressed as butlers moving from one room to another. I'm walking towards room number nine. Where my transaction going to be held. As I was moving towards.

Suddenly, my instincts started to alarm. I stopped my movements. I observed their butlers moving here and there. Among them. There were two people who unlike other butlers remained silent and stationary. Earlier, I noticed they were watching my back.

I shook my head and removed these thoughts from my mind. Then I entered room number nine. There I found two people. One male and female. They both were auction staff. I showed my bidder credentials.

After verification. I transferred credit points to them. They put all the auction items into low-end storage rings. The storage ring came free of cost. I collected the storage ring and put it into my left-hand ring finger.

Meanwhile, the robbers at different transaction floors started robbing. At one particular floor. The bidder came out of the transaction room. The robber dressed as a butler. He used his special trainee power to kill the bidder. And looted his storage ring and other valuable items.

Same incidents happening at different locations. The Five Special Trainee robbers started killing and looting items. They hide the body in nearby empty rooms. But, everything done in the hallway is recorded by the Monitor screen.
