Chapter 30 A 'New' Identity#2

Bryxton Night's Auction.

One of the most influential auctions held in the whole of Arcadia. It holds its own prestige by only allowing the strongest and wealthiest ones to join it and that too by invitation only. Either you have a very strong connection with someone influential or you have a direct invitation from one of the Auction Holder's members, are the ways that can get you entry to the auction.

This auction hold's various rare goods and antiquities from all over the world, whether it is artefacts, Supreme Grade potion or first class weapons, everything can be expected to be present here. That too of the top-notch quality…. at least for this timeline.

Sometimes… even special things… or people are too sold here.

...

"And the third thing that I want is… A Black Entry Card to the Bryxton Night's Auction."

Spoke Zero as he stared directly into Lare's eyes. Lare couldn't help but widen his eyes as he observed Zero and spoke,"how do you even know about that? No! Scratch that! How can you even ask me to get something like that when I don't even possess one?"

His face filled with ridicule looked at Zero for an answer. Zero however smiled as he looked at him and spoke,

"I know you have someone who can sell it at a certain price. If you can persuade him and arrange a meeting with him, I can strike a deal with both him and you and trust me when I say it'll be worth your while to accept this deal."

Lare observed Zero with a slightly scared expression as he looked at him. He gulped before speaking.

"I don't get what you are talking about."

Zero then rolled his eyes before sighing and then standing up and speaking,"all right. I will try some other way of acquiring that black card. For now, try to arrange the other two things I asked you to do. Hmmmm…. How long will it take?"

Lare looked at Zero for a few moments, trying to understand what was going on in Zero's mind at this exact moment before he spoke.

"It will take 30 minutes. Do you want to use your own fingerprint or an artificially created one?"

'What was the difference between them again? Oh! The one where you have a single identity but you show up as two different persons for superhero kind of stuff while the other one is for having two different identities for having a separate identity all together, though you need to carry something like an artificial eye or a finger with you all the time in case you need to use the other identity,' Zero pondered over the options given by Lare.

"I will use my own fingerprint," Zero spoke with a smile on his face. While it may be almost impossible in this timeline to change your fingerprint, it isn't exactly impossible to change it. There are certain ways… which aren't really that hard to be honest… just painful.

Lare looked at Zero's smile with a sharp gaze. His instincts were telling him that there's more to Zero's smile than what it seems, but he couldn't pinpoint exactly what it was. Not being able to look through Zero, Lare cursed in his mind,'for f*cks sake just what kind of mess am I diving in right now?' before moving on and bringing a machine in front of Zero and asked him to put his finger on the sensor.

Zero placed his finger on the sensor, and after a few seconds, the scan was complete. After that, Lare dialed somewhere and talked for a few minutes before sighing and looking at Zero again.

"I finished your work. It should be done within half an hour," Lare spoke as he wiped off the sweat from his forehead.

'A Black Card, huh? Should I go for it… but this looks too shady to be honest,' Lare thought as he observed Zero. He was contemplating whether he should go for it or not, though his heart was mostly tilted to not take the chance.

"Would you like to drink something?" he asked Zero and Zero nodded before answering,"a cup of lemon tea, please!" with a sweet smile that sent another chill down the Lare's spine.

Lare shook his head before nodding and ordering a cup of coffee for himself and a cup of lemon tea for Zero.

For the next few minutes, nobody spoke. Zero simply kept smiling at Lare and Lare couldn't help but ask," What… what is it?"

Zero answered,"nothing. Just planning something, it reached a very interesting part, so I couldn't help but smile."

At his words, Lare rolled his eyes and then moved to take a sip of his coffee before asking," care to share it?"

Zero too took a sip and answered,"Something along the lines of getting the whole Bryxton's police department involved and then getting rid of a couple of organisations."

At his words Lare stopped for a few seconds before smiling at Zero with a slight glare as he spoke,"Is this supposed to be a threat?"

"Um? No. It's not about you. It's just part of something that I have been planning for a while. It's just that I couldn't find a proper way out of a few steps, though now I have finally solved that mystery," Zero spoke as he shook his head.

Lare looked at him for a few moments before sighing, ignoring Zero's babbling as nonsense and getting back to his own work. After a few minutes, a man arrives with a ring in a case.

"Here is your new identity and other stuff. They are all present in the ring," Lare spoke as he presented the ring in front of Zero and Zero took out the other potions in front of Lare and immediately began getting out of the place.

Lare checked the potions and found no problem in them, but by the time he looked, Zero was already gone. Lare couldn't help but think of the Zero's weird behavior for the past few moments and the crazy talk he was going on about.

"He didn't even ask about the details to create an identity. Did he know about it previously?" the man who brought the ring asked with a confused expression.

"Well… at least we got our cut of the deal. What happens with him, it's none of our concern…" Lare thought before sighing as he got back to his chair and began pondering over Zero's words once again before shaking his head and moving on with his own work.
