Chapter 126: The auction
The auction room was a large hall on one of the floors of the Union building. It had a floor section where countless seats were neatly arranged and an upper section where several private booths were located. One could look down at what was happening on the platform below from their private booths but those in the floor section could not see those in the private booths because of the dark glass blocking it.
These booths were the VIP and VVIP rooms reserved for important figures such as the representatives of big families, leaders of various large explorer groups, and influential figures with large wealth or strength.
The room that Alex was assigned was a VVIP booth. It was very spacious and well decorated with an elegant appeal. A large, soft couch was placed in front of the black glass while a tray stand stood beside the couch.
This was for Alex to enjoy himself while watching the auction. On the tray stand was a plaque with a number written on it, the number on it would be how he would be addressed during the auction.
Alex’s plaque had the number "1" written on it. Seems like Clint and the others were treating him with utmost importance.
A sort of magic item was also placed inside the room that made the temperature inside to become cool. Along with this, an attendant was also assigned to him, this person would follow all of his orders if he needed anything.
Alex sat on the couch and his body sank in slightly.
Comfortable.
Alex thought to himself as he looked down at the platform below, the stage where the auction would be happening was just a few meters away from the first row of seats.
People were already starting to pour in and occupying the seats. They were all dressed in rich and exquisite clothes, clearly people with some level of wealth.
The auction will be starting soon. While he waited, Alex turned his gaze and stared at the other private booths. He could easily see through the dark glass that was supposed to make them ’private’.
