Chapter 69: 68 - Crystal Dragon Auction House
"Suprise? What suprise and why do we need to dress nicely?" Michael first asked in interest but then complained, not wanting to wear fancy clothes.
"Well if I tell you then it won't be a suprise, so what's the point. As for wearing something nice it has to be really nice, so nothing stupid." Violet finished with a hard stare at him just to hammer it in further.
Sending them off to get ready Violet turned her gaze to the pile of loot, staring at it for a few seconds before waving her hand storing it all away into her ring.
Making sure that both boys were busy getting ready, she pulled out her phone before calling someone.
"Hello?" Hearing them pick up almost immediately Violet couldn't help but let out a sigh.
"Hi dad, I'm just asking if you've got any tickets for the new year auction." Violet said.
"Let me see... Ah I've got five but why do you need them? After all you're not one to usually go to this event." He asked back in interest.
"Well that would've been the case but I want to take the two boys to broaden their horizons." Violet said not revealing her true thoughts.
"Oh... Really..." He said back in thought before coming to a decision.
"Alright, if that's the case then they can buy whatever they want, I'll pay for it." When she heard this Violet was shocked.
"What but that's breaking the rules! Your rules!" Violet immediately said with worry in her voice.
"Yep my rules, so I get to break them when I want." A cocky voice retorted back.
"Fine but don't blame me for the bill." Saying this Violet hung up the phone without any hesitation.
Violet was truly worried as those rules were put in place for a reason and they've been strictly followed by everyone for years.
That combined with what he had told her a few days ago couldn't help but worry her even more.
"What's with that face?" She was brought out of her thoughts by Michael tapping her on the shoulder.
"Oh, oh umm nothing, anyway are you guys ready?" Violet quickly changed the topic as she turned to him.
Michael was dressed up in a white suit with a blue shirt, this outfit fit his style even if it looked a little tight.
"So where are we going?" Victor asked as he finished tieing his tie, Victor was also wearing a suit but it was entirely black from the shirt to the tie.
"Good choice boys, now let's get going." Violet smiled before leading them out of the hotel were a carriage was already waiting for them.
Victor looked out of the window as they made their way through the streets further into the city.
"Now before we get their I need to tell you something." Violet said with a serious face catching their attention.
"Now where we are going is going to have a tone of people, and most of them are either powerful or have a hight background. So behave while we there, alright." Violet mainly had her gaze locked on Michael as she warned them.
"Why are you staring at me?" Michael complained but still promised to behave.
Soon the surroundings change becoming more and more expensive with less people.
But soon they reached a open area where a huge building sat, there were all sorts of people wearing expensive clothes around the building.
These people much like them were all there for the event happening in the building today.
What suprised Victor was that there were even people who could teleport or move at insane speeds as these people were just appearing out of nowhere.
"So why are we here?" Victor asked as they stepped down from the carriage joining the huge crowd of people.
"This here is Crystal Dragon Auction House and we're here for the first auction of the year." Violet said leading them towards the building.
Michael looked around in interest as he saw all sorts of people and races.
"Elves, dwarfs, beastman there's so many people here." Michael muttered while looking around.
"Of course, have you forgotten that the school has new students from all races, so of course they family's will appear here.
After all there's some good stuff sold here every time, there's even so fellow new students here today." Violet explained as they entered the building.
And the reception was beyond luxurious compared to anything Victor had seen before.
Black stone polished floors and walls, but what caught his attention was the wide arrange of artwork.
Not only was it lavish but it also had a higher concentration of mana in the building.
Violet led them through the reception full of people talking to each other while drinking different wine, that was handed out by staff.
Violet stopped one of the staff, a young pretty women who was wearing a black skirt and shirt with a red vest.
"How can I help you Ma'am?" With a professional smile she asked Violet.
"Yes I've got a three vip tickets and I would like to enter our private room." Violet said before pulling out three tickets.
As for how she got them... Well she doesn't know other than her father somehow did.
"Oh, please follow me." Slightly suprised the staff member checked the gold tickets, before bowing slightly and lead them over towards a VIP area.
The three followed her into another area which had less people with most of them sitting down on the expensive couches as they enjoyed alcohol and talked to each other.
"Please sit down and relax, the auction will begin shortly." Hearing this the three sat down together at an empty spot.
"I would also like to put two items up for auction as well." Violet suddenly said before pulling out both the set of armour and the spear.
"One second please." The young woman said before leaving in a hurry.
"Hey that's our loot." Michael immediately went to yell but stopped himself but he still complained.
"To sell them obviously, and before you two complain they're not useful to you, and you're both going to need funds when you start school." Violet said without any care.
"What do you mean? I could have used that armour." Michael muttered annoyed.
"Oh don't worry, that set didn't suit you anyway. By the time you've reached the requirements to wear it you'll have gotten a set that matches your mana, so just listen to elder sister." Violet smiled as she saw the same staff member come back with an older man.
"Hello I'm Henry, here at Crystal Dragon work as an Appraiser, if you would allow me to check the items then they can be put up for auction." Henry said with a kind old face.
"It's nice to meet you, these are the items I wish to sell." Violet pointed at the armour set and spear with a smile.
As for why she only took out these things it's quite simple, she knew for a fact that Michael didn't need them as for the rest... Well she had a gut feeling that Victor would need them.
"Excuse me." Henry said before carefully picking up the helmet like it weighed nothing.
Then his eyes glowed as he used an Appraisal ability scanning the helmet while checking every part of it before moving to the next piece.
"This armour set is of a truly excellent quality, it doesn't have any damage and is unused. Any earth tank or frontliner would love to own this set." Henry said, happy as this set was worth more then three pieces of low quality platinum armour, meaning that he'll get a higher commission.
"That's excellent, then what about this spear?" Violet smiled knowing that the two boys would earn quite a bit from this.
Henry picked up the long spear with both hands before using the same skill once more, only it suprised him as it failed.
"Well I have to admit I didn't expect a platinum weapon, just one second please." Henry said now with even more respect.
His hands started to glow in a soft blue light with his eyes as he used another skill.
"Well this is more than acceptable and can even be put into the later half of the auction Ma'am." Henry said respectfully as he put back the spear.
"Oh then that's perfect." Violet said suppressing her suprise, as she was taken aback that it was a platinum weapon.
"Then please excuse us." He said as staff came forwards and placed each thing onto a pillow before taking them away.
He took Violets ticket number before leaving as well to get back to his duties.
"I didn't know you two were so lucky." Violet smiled happily at the thought of the money they'll earn.
Completely unaware to the three of them a pair of eyes were staring right at Victor with a mix of complicated emotions in them.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I apologise to everyone for the long wait but the auction will now begin, please make your way to your rooms, as the auction will now start." A beautiful woman wearing a sexy one piece white dress appeared before everyone.
Even though she spoke normally everyone in the room could hear her.
Her dress caught a few glances especially the cut in the side to show off her leg and her open top which showed a large amount of cleavage.
Everyone immediately started to make their way to their respective rooms.
