Chapter 125: Auction House (2)
He understood what the guard wanted to say.
The special invitation. The special guest. The special table. .
Adam moved forward. He walked past the tables of masked men. He walked to the lone table with the single chair. He sat down.
The guard gave a slight bow and then walked away. He disappeared back into the shadows from which he came.
A moment later a new person approached Adam’s table. It was a lady. She was wearing very fancy clothes. She also had a mask on her face.
She came forward and placed some food on his table. She then set down a pair of glasses and a large menu-like card. The card was very big and was closed inside a thick file.
Adam’s mask covered his eyes well. But his mouth was left open. He realized he could eat the food that was kept there.
The lady bent down a little. She spoke to Adam in a low voice. "Sir you should wear these glasses. Then you will be able to see even in this dark."
She said this and then pointed toward the file. "The details of whatever item you will find in the auction are already given inside."
Adam did not speak. He raised his hand toward the lady.
It was a simple gesture. A clear signal for her to go from there.
She understood immediately. She bowed and retreated into the dark.
