Between The Strongest and The Weakest Family
Chapter 63: The Auction

“But before explaining it, I'll give this captain” to say Diana while taking something from her pouch

Srreet...

Diana put some paper on Reed's desk, on the paper there were some Items that Diana thought were good.

Reed then took the papers, Reed also checked one by one the Items on the paper, he saw there were no Items that attracted his attention, he saw, and then Reed stopped at the Item he had been aiming for all this time, The Item was in the form of a slightly purplish black crystal stone, The item was a Crystal Void Essence.

“Finally I can get this Item” said Reed.

“why is the captain so obsessed with the Crystal Void Essence Item?, unlike your usual” asked the curious Diana.

“I need it for the last touch of my weapon”

“bunk the captain's dagger is already very strong?”

“I want to get a Void weapon, Void weapon will be a better weapon than now, but when getting Void weapon, it must have a risk, because Mana Void will enter my body, and I want to surpass my current limit by probing the Mana Void that will probably damage my body”

“is that not the danger of the captain?”

“*haa...* that's the way it is..\, but it's a long term plan\, the important thing is I get the material core first”.

“well.. alright..., so the captain wants to hear more information?”

“ya.., please describe”

Diana then explained about the auction place, where the auction is located in a building that is west of the capital, different from other auction sites, which are, there will be some rare items that will be auctioned there, one of which is Crystal Void Essence that Reed was after, Diana also gave a warning about one of the underworld organizations also eyeing the Crystal Void Essence.

Ssrraaakkkp...

Reed stood up from where he was sitting.

“Alright I'll go” say Reed.

“what about the plan?” say Diana.

“you don't have to worry, I can handle it later, and you come with me, so wear it well” says Reed while pointing to Diana.

Diana was surprised Reed told her to accompany him, Diana's face was a bit embarrassed and at the same time happy, but Diana replied with a reaction as flat as possible.

“uuummm.... alright..,” says Diana timidly.

“then, you go first, because surely you will dress up long, later we meet near my apartment, I will wait for you”.

“Good captain.”.

Taps...

Taps...

“*haa..*\, what happened to him?\, I don't understand” said Reed was astonished.

Reed then goes to the apartment where he lives near his office, Reed gets ready to dress up neatly as well, and Reed prepares something if something bad is going to happen later.

A few hours later......

Reed is standing in front of his apartment, Reed is waiting for his companion.

Taps..

Taps...

“oohh.., finally you came” said Reed.

A woman comes to Reed, she wears a black and blue dress, she shyly looks at Reed, she is Diana.

“aahh.., captain sorry to wait long” said Diana.

“it's okay, but.., you look beautiful in a beautiful dress you wear” praises Reed.

“iiihhh..., captaincy.., can you seriously say Diana was upset but shy too.

“ahaha.., alright.. alright.., then let's go” says Reed while extending his hand to Diana.

Reed then walked with Diana to the auction building, and in the end they reached the auction building, when in the auction building, a lot of famous people came to the building, the building, from the nobles to the underworld organizations in the auction place, Reed and Diana had to be on the lookout for what would happen later, Reed and Diana arrived at the front door of the auction building, two guards dressed in black and wearing sunglasses at the door blocked Reed and Diana.

“please show me the invitation letter” said one of the guards.

Reed then gave a white letter with a gold colored stamp on the letter, the guard checked the authenticity of the letter, after checking, he folded it again and entered the letter.

“this letter is original, please log in, and welcome to auction” told the guard.

Reed and Diana entered the auction, when Reed saw many underworld organizations.

“this is so beyond expectations, they must be eyeing Crystal Void Essence” saying Reed.

“so how about captain.?, do you have a plan..?, or should we kill the person who managed to get the Crystal Void Essence?” ask Diana.

“*haa..*\, what do you think?\, do not be too rash in reading the situation\, however I will get Crystal Void Essence\, although I have to drain the money I” said Reed while showing a serious face.

“good captain” says Diana.

After having a conversation along the way, Reed and Diana enter the auction room, the auction room is shaped like a fairly large opera performance, but there were very few people in the room, sitting far apart from each other, one organization or their nobility numbered three to five, and they sat on the side, Reed and Diana sat in the middle of the room.

Before long they sat down, then a man in a white suit and a butterfly tie emerged from the back stage of the stage, the man holding a mic, the man took a deep breath, then the man spoke very loudly on the mic.

“Halo Mr and Madam, tonight's auction will start” soon
