"The Violet Twilight auction house has opened its doors."

  "Items and artifacts of unparalleled level, just one of them could change the life of a hunter, but... Hah, people like us can only watch from a distance."

  The big day has arrived, the Violet Twilight auction house no longer accepts visitors, but clients who have acquired prior authorization. Anyone without a ticket is hindered, only high-prestige characters can enter with their carriage displaying opulence.

  Lesser characters enter quietly, yet they do not go unnoticed. Among them are hidden experts, very few are capable of recognizing their identities.

  "People without authorization cannot enter!"

  A man is stopped by one of the guards.

  "Ha! There's always that type of person."

  "They humiliate themselves by trying to enter, they don't know their place."

  Everyone mocks the man who lacks pride, at least they know their position and admire the spectacle from afar. They would never dare to embarrass themselves.

  The man clicks his tongue and pulls something from his pocket. The guard receives it angrily and reads it, the next second, his attitude changes completely.

  "Excuse me, sir, here you are. Please, you may enter."

  The man does not wish to cause trouble, so he overlooks this mistake and walks on without looking back. Passersby are shocked after seeing that the criminal actually turned out to be a hero who did not wish to reveal his identity.

  "Does anyone know him?"

  "Unprecedented. A big shot who doesn't make a fuss over such a significant error?"

  "Anyone else would have sought the guard's life, not stopping until they saw blood."

  The crowd is astonished at this event, if they were in his place, they couldn't assure they would respond in the same way. Getting a ticket is not easy, the amount the holder must possess is considerable. That one of them overlooks a mistake shows they have a broad view of the panorama, that they don’t get bothered by minor issues.

  "Tsk, if I didn't have to hide my identity, this kind of thing wouldn't happen."

  Of course, this man is none other than Lawrence.

  "Even the most humble character brings along ostentatious clothing, I, for my part, cannot bring it even if I wanted to. I just escaped from my pursuers."

  His pursuit has decreased in priority, he has more room to escape, but this does not mean they have put aside their job. Just a few moments ago, he made sure none of them were pursuing him, drawing attention would result in the opposite outcome.

  In fact, he is not poorly dressed, quite the contrary. It's just that in this kind of occasion more is needed, much more. Something for which he is not willing to strive.

  "Sir, may I have your ticket?"

  The employee kindly gives him directions, the place reserved for Lawrence to witness the auction.

  "This is the room, if you'll excuse me."

  Once the employee leaves, Lawrence opens the door and then maintains an expressionless gaze. Inside, he is not alone.

  "A new item owner? When was the last time a new face appeared in the Violet Twilight auction house?"

  "The high ranks must hold him in high esteem to be sent to this place without having previously heard of him, but..."

  Dozens of item owners are in this place interacting with each other. In the center of the room is a large table with dishes from various parts of the Divine Plane. Many servants are present, fulfilling their demands to the letter.

  While some are standing chatting pleasantly, others are seated enjoying the view from the balcony towards the center of the stage. Not all of them are here to bid, but to establish relationships and observe the spectacle.

  Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.

  "Doesn't he know where he is? To enter this place, one must have the minimum of principles, but he, on the other hand..."

  "There are anomalous cases, one should not judge by appearances."

  Those who talk and criticize Lawrence's carefree dress are those in the lower strata, who are afraid of being replaced and left behind in time. The high-level item owners didn't even look this way, they hold a position difficult to remove, what happens around is not enough to attract their attention.

  That a man like Lawrence enters this room can only mean that he possesses an item that can produce or obtain every so often, unique item owners do not have the authority to set foot in this place. There are exceptions to the rule, but they are those who can obtain extraordinary items frequently.

  "This is the first time we meet, sir."

  A woman of beautiful appearance approaches Lawrence. Every fiber of her body possesses some kind of ostentation, rings, earrings, necklaces, and endless goods that make her look glamorous, a noble woman of high birth.

  "May I know the origin of the gentleman? If our items are related, we can establish business to benefit each other."

  Everyone immediately silenced to know Lawrence's response. Depending on his words, friendships and resentments will be established without turning back.

  "I am just an intermediary, I do not deserve the lady's cordiality."

  The unique beauty of Lawrence can attract some women, as well as repel others. He is handsome or ugly depending on the eyes that observe him, and in the case of this woman, she looks back, towards a person in the distance.

  A beautiful woman is sitting there, who looks at Lawrence for a moment and then nods. Action that she knows its meaning.

  "My lady is Eminent Greed, if you ever want to talk, do not hesitate to address her."

  Lawrence directs his gaze towards that woman. Eminent Greed is a woman of the fox race, both her ears and her seven tails are white. Her ostentation is more simplistic than the woman in front of him, but her nature surpasses her by far.

  Without caring about the eyes of Lawrence, she continues sitting, observing the rankers arriving or who have just arrived at the auction house. Whether their companions or the emotions reflected on their face, everything is an indication of what will happen on this day.

  "I will do that. With your permission."

  He does not know anyone, does not know who is good and who is bad, so he decides to lean against the wall next to the balcony. Being alone and watching how the situation unfolds is the best course of action he can take at this moment.

  "He is just an intermediary, I see. Does he not know that his appearance represents his master?"

  "When the voices reach his ears, we will never see this man again. It is unnecessary to establish relationships, everyone knows the strange tastes of Eminent Greed. Only once his master presents himself, will we speak again."

  The lesser owners do not want to accept their mistake, but they know that continuing further is futile, so they simply decided to steer the conversation towards something more important. That this intermediary has presented himself in this way implies that sooner or later he will be replaced, a mistake of such magnitude cannot be forgiven.

  The conversations continue, while Lawrence observes what happens in this room as in the center of the auction house.

  'I feel the presences of rankers with an unfathomable level, though I do not know from where they come. Tsk, if it weren't for the invitation of that guy, I wouldn't have come.'

  In the lower part of the Violet Twilight auction house are the bidders without a clear background, seated next to each other in the center, visible from the private rooms as well as from the balconies. It is in these last two where the big shots are divided between privacy and ostentation.

  This room is a clear example of ostentation, everyone demonstrating their wealth.

  Time passes and each seat is occupied, everyone remains silent when the auctioneer sets foot on the stage.

  "I am honored to be in the presence of rankers and the heroes who will make up the history of the Divine Plane. I am Taciturn Wanderer and I will be in charge of the auction at the end of this year."

  "T- Taciturn Wanderer?"

  "The level 900 ranker? God! The Violet Twilight auction house did not skimp on resources! Hiring a ranker to be the auctioneer? Incredible."

  A commotion occurs after learning the identity of the auctioneer, even Lawrence is surprised after learning that the person presenting his fertility pill is none other than a ranker of level 900.

  This agitation only occurs in the lower strata, the important characters do not even blink after hearing this information. Because of this Lawrence must maintain his expressionless gaze, because for a moment he could feel eyes watching him. Had he shown his emotions on his face, what would have happened?

  "Today we have special guests from the Immortal Radiance Kingdom and the Wind Divider Kingdom. This year's auction will be remembered for a long time."

  This time even the big shots paid attention. The Immortal Radiance Kingdom is understandable, but the Wind Divider Kingdom? What are they doing here?

  "It's an open secret that our kingdom has not had very good relations with the Wind Divider Kingdom during this century, but that is about to change."

  The pauses and smiles that the auctioneer occasionally makes, irritate Lawrence. He wishes not to be the only one, because it is inexcusable that an esteemed ranker of level 900 still seeks fame, recognition from others.

  He is and will be unable to reach the same level as Imperishable Night.

  "Their arrival is a sign that good times are approaching and as a sign of this, a very special item has been provided by our guests to be auctioned. If you want to know what it is about, I urge you to stay until the end... But meanwhile, let's start the auction. The first item to be auctioned is none other than a Clairvoyant Eye!"

  'An left eye that allows you to see 5 seconds into the future, damn...' Lawrence can't believe that the first item has such capability, in Heaven’s Fortress city really happen events that in any other place would be impossible.

  The following items only maintained the gap and even slowly surpassed it. All of them indispensable goods for rankers of level 800 and above.

  When the auction developed until half of the scheduled time, a man enters the room.

  Demontre Sagul.
