1095 DAYS BEFORE THE APOCALYPSE
Chp 66: Auction And Mysterious Woman

Kim Park Lee's daughter's birthday party is over and Zhara goes with her to Kim Park Lee's dark auction, on the way they both chatted casually even though Kim Park Lee was still a little awkward with Zhara.

Her goal of inviting Zhara to come to her daughter's birthday party was none other than to match the two of them, if she had a daughter-in-law like Zhara surely her family's degree would rise drastically.

But who would have thought that Zhara would find out about her dark business...

"Well, by the way, is there a mobster in town?" ask Zhara arrived.

"O-Oh, it's true, they're underground organizations, they usually hide their identity and do something illegal without the public knowing." reply Kim Park Lee even though somewhat reluctant to say it.

Kim Park Lee was also one of the people who did underground business, so he must have known a lot of mafia-like organizations and so on, so Zhara wanted to dig up information from him.

"You must know a lot about them, can you name them?"

"All right..."

Actually spreading underground information is something that is strictly prohibited and anyone who violates it will definitely be executed.

But Kim Park Lee also had no other choice but to tell everything to Zhara.

"In the city of Seoul there are some mafia groups that are most famous and respected for their strength and stagnation, namely Moonlife, Hwanafa, Seoyunice. But reportedly the Hwanafa mafia group is now on the brink of collapse since their chairman was killed by a man from the Seoyunice mafia group."

"Seoyunice? it seems I've heard that name." murmured Zhara to be heard by Kim Park Lee.

"I suggest not to get involved with that crazy group, even though it's rumored their chairman is unwell but they have his 16-year-old daughter who is much more sadistic and bruntal than her father..." advice Kim Park Lee.

Despite having strange feelings about this, Zhara did not think much about it and still calmed herself down.

He was convinced that the mafia group mentioned earlier had no relationship with him at all.

If asked if Zhara was afraid of the three mafia groups, then your answer would have been impossible since she had an invincible mainstay weapon at the moment....

A few minutes later, the two of them reached their destination, a fairly famous bar in the area.

Zhara and Kim Park Lee enter the bar and walk through a secret passageway connected to the basement that is where the dark auction is held.

But before that Kim Park Lee told Zhara to wear a mask to keep her identity a secret.

At the dark auction, everyone involved in it was obliged to wear a mask and keep his identity secret. Starting from buyers, people who auction, even until the staff is obliged to use a mask that covers their entire face.

After all the preparations were ready, Kim Park Lee led Zhara to a special room reserved for people auctioning her goods.

"Em, sorry.... What do you want to auction?" kim Park Lee.

Zhara had not answered, but took out a crystal from her pocket and gave it to Kim Park Lee.

"I-This!"

Kim Park Lee's eyes immediately rounded seeing the crystal that Zhara had given him, he knew very well about the crystal, it was a thousand-year-old crystal obtained by an archaeologist in an ancient tomb in Egypt.

And a few months ago the crystal was stolen by a mysterious person and made the world an uproar, a great detective from Japan has been investigating the case from a few months ago but until now still has not found the culprit.

This made Kim Park Lee sad that Zhara was involved in the theft.

"Why are you so surprised? isn't this really the place to sell illegal goods like that?" zhara said raising one eyebrow.

"It's true that this is the place to sell illegal goods, but it's already far beyond illegal!"

Why would just a crystal already make the world an uproar? it was therefore not an ordinary crystal, according to Archaeologists the crystal was previously owned by the Egyptian queen Cleopatra VII Philopator given by Ptolemy XIII Theos Philopator.

Ptolemy XIII Theos Philopator was king of the Ptolemaic dynasty in the Ptolemaic Kingdom of Egypt. He was one of the last kings of the dynasty. 

So you could say the crystal is one of the most historic objects of the relics of the Egyptian kingdom around 69 BC.

Back to Zhara's side.

"What happened to that? I don't care what reason you're the most important crystal sold here for whatever price" Zhara said coldly.

Kim Park Lee goosebumps in fear and responds to Zhara's orders, in her heart she desperately hopes that the party investigating the crystal doesn't know about it...

A few hours had passed and the auction had finally begun, where the auction was a large stage with many seats in front of it that were seated by the masked auctioneer.

Zhara and several others who were auctioning goods were in a special place that was above the back of the participants.

So Zhara could see the auctioned item easily.

A masked clown man took to the stage and introduced himself to his signature style.

A man named Mr. The Clown introduced himself and the auction event at length, then began the auction with the first item, an ancient painting from the Chinese tang dynasty.

Zhara had heard the news about the theft of this painting and it was sold here.

Not only ancient paintings, but there are various items that are actually prohibited from sale from various countries such as endangered exotic animals, ancient sculpture statues from thailand and Indonesia, there are even some illegal drugs.

Previously Zhara had hoped to get some items that caught her attention, but it seemed that she had to be disappointed because what was auctioned was not up to her expectations.

Hours had passed and it was about time that the final item would be auctioned off, Zhara's crystal.

"We deliberately kept this thing at the end of the event to make it more festive! see the beauty of the oldest crystal ever!"

Some masked sexy women came with a crystal placed in an ornamental glass container.

The participants of the auction were instantly shocked and in an uproar at the sight of the crystal.

"Isn't that the crystal that was stolen a few months ago!?"

"That's right, I never thought I'd see her in this place!"

"I have to get that crystal at any cost!"

They had no idea who stole the crystal or tried to find it, they were rich people who lived just to spend money for pleasure.

So they will race to get the goods no matter what the price.

"The initial price starts from 7 billion USD, the price increase should not be below 1 billion!"

The initial price of the crystal was already determined and the rich and foolish people began to offer them as much money as possible to obtain a single item.

"9.5 Billion USD!"

"10 billion USD!"

"12 billion USD!"

"14 billion USD!"

The offer price is rising rapidly until it reaches 20 billion USD, this was the craziest offer anyone had ever seen but not with Zhara who possessed wealth far beyond all those who were there.

Even Zhara was made sleepy because it waited too long, until the sound of one of the bidders made Zhara immediately open her eyes.

"50 billion USD..."

No, Zhara was not surprised because of the price offered by that person, but rather shocked because of the voice of that person.

It was the voice of a girl that sounded very delicate and gentle, even when he bid as much as 50 billion USD his voice still seemed relaxed as if spending 50 billion USD was not difficult (50 billion USD around 72 trillion rupiah).

Zhara looked at the woman who offered that fantastic amount, she could not see her entire body and could only see her hair from behind, it was pitch-black hair and looked extremely smooth.

But somehow Zhara felt uncomfortable with the woman and wanted to leave the place immediately.

On the other hand, the participants who tried hard to get the crystal were also very surprised because there was a woman who arrived to raise the bid price sky-high.

But they did not dare to protest knowing that the woman must not be a random person if they could easily spend 50 billion USD, so they could only let the crystal fall into the hands of the woman.

"Congratulations to participant number 45 for successfully winning this precious crystal..."

Mr. Clown congratulated and foreshadowed the auction was over. Zhara stood up from her seat and immediately wanted to leave from there.

"Then what about the money?" kim Park Lee said he saw Zhara leaving.

"Later to take it, now give me your car keys first" Zhara said in a hurry.

"All right." Kim Park Lee responded quickly.

Zhara did not bring her own car to come to this place, so she wanted to use Kim Park Lee's car.

Zhara walked away from the auction site without removing her mask through the secret passage that Kim Park Lee told her, it was a street directly connected to the bar parking lot.

But Zhara felt something strange as she walked through the hallway connected to the parking lot.

"Some one followed me...."
