"Why are they auctioning a wine bottle...?" Das asked with a confused face after seeing the old, tattered bottle inside the glass box.
"Because it is a rare wine which is not available in the present day. The bottle before you is the last one remaining in the whole world." An old man who wore a nice tuxedo suit replied to Das's question with a smiling face.
"You are?!..." Das questioned him, as he did not recognise this strange old man.
"Hai, my name is Max. I'm the auctioneer today." The old man extended his hand with a happy face.
"Hai, I'm Mohan Das." Das shook his hand with a firm grip.
"How much do you think, this bottle will cost?" Ria asked Max, who was busily explaining about the Himalayan monk wine.
"Why are you asking for its price? Are you planning to buy this thing?" Das interrupted her, as he did not expect Ria to buy an expensive wine.
"It's not for me. My first sister really likes wine collections." Ria said before turning towards Max to get an estimated price.
"Young lady, people will definitely pay ten to fifteen crores for this bottle. During the auction, its price may go beyond that." Max answered with a dignified demeanour. Ria's eyes went wide after listening to the price of this old, tattered wine.
"People really like wine, I think." Das commented funnily after seeing the dumbfounded look on Ria's face.
"Haha, young man, don't tease that young lady. Please enjoy this beautiful day." Max turned back after saying that sentence.
"Mr. Max, can you answer one more question for me?" Das requested Max before he took his leave.
"What is it...?" Do you need price for any other item?" Max asked with a slight grin. n).o-)V-/e)-l((b.(I.-n
"Nah, it's not that. There are more valuable things on the lower floors than this tattered wine. Why are you not auctioning them instead of this monk wine?" Das asked with a curious look after finding out the price of this wine bottle.
"Haha, you are a really interesting young man. The reason for that is very simple. We can't guarantee the authenticity of the items on the lower floors."
"But the items on this floor and the fifteenth floor are very real, and my organisation can guarantee their authenticity." Max answered before leaving to attend to other guests.
Later, Das and Ria continued their exploration.
"Are you still thinking about that monk wine?" Das questioned Ria, as she is still in a state of deep thinking.
"No..." Ria denied it instantly. But Das saw her eager eyes for that monk's wine. While looking into Ria's face, Das suddenly bumped into an old man.
"Idiot, are you blind?" A young man who stood beside that old man cried out with a hot temper.
"Jethin, stop. The old man controlled his son before looking at Das."
Das first saw the old man before turning his focus towards Jethin. After a moment, Das said sorry to the old man, as it was his fault.
"It's okay, young man." Jethin's father behaved like a humble gentleman. "Jethin, you should control your emotions." The old man lectured his son while staring at the back view of Das, who left him a long time ago.
Das joined Ria, who was observing a pair of black heels.
"Do you like them?" Das asked after seeing the beautiful, plain black heels.
"No, I don't like wearing heels. That's too these heels were ultra-modern." Ria said before moving towards another object. But Das stayed behind, as he really liked those heels. He thought of gifting them to Stella, as she likes this type of luxury fashion wear.
Ria and Das stood beside her.

"Why are you not moving...?" Ria asked as Das stood in one place without moving.
"Nothing... I really want to buy these heels for someone." Das said without turning his head.
"Haha, why are you buying lady foot wear? Is it for your girl friend?" Ria asked curiously as she moved back towards Das.
"Haha, in your dreams. Do you know what you are looking at?"
"These are the Porsche company heels, which are designed by top designers from all over the world. There are only ten sets available in the whole world."
"Do you think you can afford these?"... Ellen laughed loudly to make more people hear her ridicule. She did not stop her mocking as more people gathered around her.
"Everybody see this pauper; he wants to buy these heels, which were the only set available in our country." Ellen announced loudly as she got her chance to take revenge against Das.
Before Das roasted her back, Ria dragged him away from the crowd as she got afraid of big crowds.
"That bitch needs a lesson. Why did you drag me away?" Das questioned her with an impatient face as he is razing over Ellen, Jethin's girlfriend.
"Das, leave it. There is no use in arguing with that shameless loud speaker. That too we really can't afford those heels." Ria tried cool him down as she passed him a water bottle.
After a moment, Das also understood Ria's concern. But inside, he decided to buy those heels at any cost.
After another half hour, they both went to the seventeenth floor, where the old granny was checking the jade rocks. By the time they reached the seventeenth floor, the old granny sat leisurely in one corner while sipping hot tea.
"Sorry, madam, I made you wait." Ria apologised in a respectful way as she took more time to check out the things on the lower floors.
"It's ok... I completed my work just now."
"That medium-sized rock has the highest probability of containing jade inside." The old granny pointed towards the fourth rock in the display.
"Even though there are other rocks with jade, most people will compete for them, and the price will be higher. The rock at which I pointed has the least probability of containing jade. So, most people avoid it."
"But I guarantee, that there is definitely jade inside that rock." The old granny explained in detail as Ria and Das stood beside her.
Instead of listening to her lengthy explanation, Das decided to check out that rock with his special vision.
