Chapter 712 Cap 710: Eclipse Merchants Auction

On the day of the auction, I helped with very little, I don't know enough to help Nira with the paperwork so I let Ivan handle it, Leonardo was bringing some things with the help of some Onis and Ghouls, these are the Auction items that come from the Dungeon.

There were also some beefy Demons carrying large crates containing rare and high-value goods that Nira approved of being sold at auction.

The auction was only supposed to last one day, but now it will last two days, the place where the auction takes place is big enough for 5000 people, and it also offers 20 VIP lounges on a higher floor, I took one of these lounges the second largest for For me, the biggest would be in the hands of the Royal family from what I hear.

I've already looked at the list of Auction items, there's nothing I want, but I told Nira to show the others, if anyone wants something I could buy it, I asked them to put together a list with whatever they want to send me later.

The one who would take care of everything on stage would be Elsaris, she has done this kind of work many times in the Black Market, so should do well as Auctioneer, Samira also insisted a lot on participating and will keep her sister company on stage.

Barok, Leo, Irius, Irina, Karina, and Diana will take care of security, I know Nira is looking to find more flaws in the Trading Guild to get more money out of them, but in case something really happens I still want to ensure the safety of the items and the public if possible, so I let these 6 handle security.

The Auction will take place in the early afternoon today, we are finishing the preparations, the Auction tickets have already been fully sold by the Commerce Guild, they charge for the ticket so they don't let people in just to watch for free, they want everyone in the auction to have the intention to buy.

When I took the stage, Irina and Rakan were creating a magic circle to protect the stage, which will be hidden under the rug.

I look around and notice that there are already people watching the surroundings, some are disguised as Guild members while others are hiding in discreet corners, but their surveillance eyes give away who they are in an almost empty environment like this.

I could also feel the magic on the walls and ceiling, probably protection spells and barriers.

Almost everything was ready and I went out next to Nira to get something to eat.

"Almost everything is ready, where are Elsaris and Samira?" (I)

"They went out on a date, but they'll be here before the auction starts." (Nira)

"Have you talked to the others about the items in the auction?" (I)

"I left it on the bulletin board inside the Dungeon next to a piece of paper to let them know if they want anything, but nobody wanted anything." (Nira)

p "I try very hard to be self-sufficient." (I)

"I can't tell you how rare these items are or what their value is, but we already have a lot of rare things in the Dungeon." (I)

"Let's have, even more, Kira will disappear during this time, she will attack the targets tonight." (Nira)

"Lilith will be with her, I hope they bring a big heist this time." (Nira)

"Kira basically confirmed Lilith's targets with her investigation, so let's get on with the plan, first we're going to rob their homes and then just take the targets." (I)

"Don't do anything against innocent people." (I)

"Only one of them has an innocent wife and a young son, the wife is cheating on him, but he doesn't have an Aura of revenge for what Lilith said." (Nira)

"Are you sure he's a scum?" (I)

"Yes, he trafficked specific slaves for some people with very specific tastes." (Nira)

"You mean?" (I)

"Yea." (Nira)

"How did they find out?" (I)

"With enough money, we can get many kinds of information in the Assassin's Guild." (Nira)

"Information alone would be useless without evidence to convict him, but knowing what to look for didn't take long for us to find out more, they're all bastards." (Nira)

"I have a whole new level of respect for Lilith after that." (Nira)

I've merged Kira's robbery plans and Lilith's torture plans into one plan to catch the worst individuals in this town who happen to be very rich as well.

I will use the time that everyone will be at the auction to rob their houses while leaving messages saying that they stole from their hiding places too, when they go to the hidden places where their illegal earnings are being followed, at that moment we will steal everything while we take these bastards for Lilith to do as she pleases.

As far as we find out, only one of Lilith's original targets was spared, he opened an orphanage and rescues children to take to the orphanage, he gave up his life of crime and chose to live in penance helping others, in his case the children were the targets for your change.

Just to be sure I let Nix have a conversation with him next to Lilith, from the stories of his past I was very surprised at the kind man covered in scars I found looking through Nix's eyes.

He escaped being targeted by Lilith, as far as I know, he was the first and it helped when I explained to Lilith that not everyone deserves punishment, often the path of redemption is more painful than the punishment of someone's crimes, so few choose to admit your mistakes and redeem yourself as this man did.

----------

Soon it's time to start the auction, Elsaris and Samira are getting ready while some Elves are welcoming the Auction participants with tickets.

Those with VIP tickets are being joined by Alice, Nolan, and a few others wearing patterned black and red outfits with an image of an eclipse.

I was already in my VIP cabin with Vanessa, érica, and my family members to watch the Auction.

"Finally will start." (I)

"Kira just left, I think the master must know that Hela went along." (Nix)

"Why did Hela go with them?" (I)

"She and Lilith have been training with Kira to improve her concealment skills, Kira said it was a good time to put the results of the training to the test." (Nix)

Sigh

"They could have warned me sooner." (I)

As I talked to Nix, érica was drawing magic circles with my blood to create tracking curses.

"Do you already know the targets?" (I)

"Of course, I won't let them get away, that way it's much easier to follow them to the second part of the plan." (érica)
