After ten minutes,

“Hello Old Kei, I have arrived at the location with 10 more brothers, so do you have a plan to proceed?” Old Sun called old Kei and informed him of their arrival and made sure that after arriving near the black market they did not alert the opponent so he parked their car a few alleys away from there.

.....

“Good that you arrived on time and let me brief you on a simple plan we two decided to follow!” Old Kei said on the phone and old Sun was attentive to how they will solve this problem.

“Hmmn! Go on old Kei, I am listening!” Old Sun implored Old Kei to continue what he was saying.

“Well, It’s not much of a plan. I and old Ren would first check the waters and see if we can find evidence with the man who is responsible for counterfeit company products and you all need to blend in the crowd of people and entered the black market without making any suspicious moves then wait for my signal, also don’t forget to wear the micro earpiece!” Old Sun listened to a simple plan that old Kei told him which wasn’t hard for them to follow as a veteran on the battlefield.

After closing the call, he put the earpiece on his ear which is connected with commas, old Sun and others change into ordinary attire from their working suits.

“Are you ready brothers, we can today bash some serious heads without holding backs!” Old Sun looked at the 10 brothers who he brought with him and asked with a smile.

“Yeah!!” (10×)

Everyone shouted with excitement feeling their blood rush in their heads.

“Hahahahaha! Well then Let’s go with the old Kei plan so divide into two pairs each and go blend in the crowd then wait in the black market for the signal to make our move!” Old Sun laughed, feeling that everyone is eager to flex their muscles for a while. Even old Sun felt that adrenaline rush in his body so without further adieu he gave instructions to the rest of them to follow and went separately towards the antique street or black market.

On the old Kei and old Ren sides,

Both of them had long since come over and were looking at the goons’ den, the three-story building from which the voice of music was coming from with the smell of alcohol.

Just as they were about to enter the building, they stooped by two guards asking for a membership card or invitation.

“Ohh! Here it is!” Fortunately, old Ren was quite meticulous so he searched the body of the goon and then knocked him out before throwing him in the garbage, who coincidentally has an invitation card that he took from him.

After that, both entered the building and just as they came inside, they were welcomed with loud music and people having fun with ladies with skimpy clothes.

Not minding this kind of scene, they sat down on the empty stools and ordered a drink to not look conspicuous.

The first floor is used for pub purposes, the second and third floors have private rooms where small groups can enjoy themselves.

Every Sunday this pub would host an auction and only VIPs invited who have membership cards of this pub.

The auction items are mostly illegal things which aren’t allowed by the government like counterfeit goods or stolen high-quality items. Even though they sell fake goods and someone ended up buying them and then found out about it, even then nobody made it hard for the guys operating the pub and the auction.

As the most sought-after things like nature beast material are also sold here sometime. So the people who knew the value of these things suppressed the small problem of doing the favour to the pub.

Coincidentally, today is the day when the auction will be held. And getting the information Old Kei and old Ren looked at each other’s eyes and communicated, then they concluded that they needed to wait for the auction to start and capture them in red hands.

At exactly noon, every customer of the pub was pushed aside and made space for a hunched-back man to enter, light focused on him and also the music stopped completely.

“Hello, everyone! Today is for our weekly auction that we hold so please everyone get seated comfortably!” The hunched old man spoke in a crude voice with the help of a mic. The voice reached everyone’s ear.

After everyone sat down on the stools prepared by the staff workers of the pub in an orderly manner as burly guys were gesturing people to sit down so nobody caused any problem.

Then a lady wearing very skimpy clothes walked in with a plate covered in cloth and then stood beside the hunched old man like a good servant.

“Well, now then as everyone already knows the rule so please follow along with them, otherwise you know the consequences!” The hunched old man said with a smile then in the last word he showed a dark and vicious grin which made a few people shudder from fear.

Even though normal people can’t perceive what just happened, old Ren and old Kei knew that the hunched old man was very dangerous as he just flared his killing aura for a bit to scare the audience. Even for a bit, they can tell that the aura shown by an old man can’t be acquired unless he has been on the battlefield and has also faced life and death situations many times.

“Ahem, now with the first item!” The hunched old man coughed and pulled everyone’s attention again by gesturing to the bar girl to lift the cloth from the plate to show the audience what the item was.

“Wow, what a beautiful ornament?” A sassy young master exclaimed looking at the jade hairpin which has a unique design with a dragon head carved on it.

“Ohhh! Marvellous, this is very well made. From a distance, I can’t quite look at the details clearly but the pristine smell around it made me interested in it!” An old man with a white beard said with quite a loud voice and who knows from where he took a binocular to look closer.

As the crowd exclaimed with the beautiful design which had a shine of high-quality material and the ancient feel captivated the crowd.

The hunched old man looked at the crowd’s reaction with a glint in his eyes with a calculating smile. He observed the crowd and tried to see who was more interested in this ornament so he could cut the fat sheep very well.

“As you can see the ornament is very beautiful and is perfect for a gift when you are a girl or woman. I can assure you that anyone would be pleased with this present!” Hunched old man trying to hook some fat rich young master so he can earn a large bonus so he tried to rile up with his speech.
