Alando And Silvi

5. Auction Event

"Silvy! The principal called you." A student walks over to Silvi and his two gang members eating meatballs in the cafeteria.

Silvi gave a quick glance at the female student who glazed over her eyes with a hairstyle that was paled two and then refocused on her food. "What did the principal call me?"

"I don't know. He just told me to call you."

"Hm. You can go."

Not waiting for a long time, the student quickly disappeared from before Silvi. Almost every student at Candrawan High School has the same sense of disdain for the Dusk gang.

Seeing Silvi still cool eating her meat makes Lania growled. Because the principal of Candrawan High School is Robert Candrawan who is the uncle of Lithuania.

"You made my uncle wait for Silvi dear."

"I just want to finish my meatballs. 3 more seeds."

"Yes. Let him eat." Tono responded casually.

Lania nodded. His anger disappeared. After thinking about it again, it didn't matter that his uncle waited for Silvi to finish off the rest of his meatballs.

It did not take long for Silvi to spend the remaining 3 meatball seeds. Silvi finished her iced tea and left Lania and Tono towards the headmaster's room.

"Excuse me sir. You called me?" Sapa Silvi by standing in front of the open door of the principal's room.

"Yes Silvi. Step inside".

After Silvi enters, Robert Candrawan lets Silvi sit down. "Please sit down, Silvi."

Silvi according to

"It's near your exam time. Yet you are the best and only student who can be relied upon for this task."

Silvi just silently listened, letting the headmaster continue his speech until it was finished.

"Can you do some research at the auction? Be the representative of our school."

"Do all schools have their own representatives?"

"No. Only the 7 largest schools across the country got this opportunity. Our school is one of them. I chose you because you were so deft, there was nothing to explain. But you have to come back with an explanation."

"Hm, what did the school get with the explanation I got?"

"Of course knowledge. The items to be auctioned are historical relics that have been guarded for 100 years."

"Then why did the country auction it?"

"The item does not belong to the state anymore. The organization managed to have it. Somehow, the reason is still kept secret. State representatives successfully negotiated student representatives to attend the auction. Yeah, even if it's only 7 people."

"Why not a history student? I mean, why should the school representative? why not university representatives?"

"The organization of the owner of the auction event does not approve of the attendance of students. I think they're pretty scared of student insight."

"alright sir. I-i understand. I'll try my best." Silvi closes the conversation with Robert and leaves Robert's room.

Silvi gets into the auction show by showing her identification as a student from Candrawan High School. A committee invited Silvi to sit in a chair that had been prepared for her school representative.

This auction event was quite prestigious in Silvi's eyes. People who come in formal dress. This place is filled with different types of ages. According to Silvi's estimation, there were those in their twenties to fifties. But Silvi could not guess the other 6 school envoys. Silvi didn't know anyone in this place.

The host opened the auction event with a speech that was so boring according to Silvi. Silvi rolled her eyes lazily. But his gaze found someone familiar to him was sitting leaning on a chair at the main table. The table was only filled by him and the 2 middle-aged men.

Silvi sharpened her eyes once more to reassure her vision. Until Silvi is sure if it's true it's Alando. The man's appearance was very different. If on the island of Dusk he was wearing ripped pants and a t-shirt, now he was wearing a formal suit just like the others.

Silvi wrestles in her mind about who Alando really is. The brambly jerk who is now filling the number one table at the auction event.

Alando also glanced at Silvi at a glance at the omen if he was aware of Silvi's whereabouts. But there is no greeting between the two. As if I didn't know each other.

Silvi's attention is now distracted by the voice of the Host who announced the first auction item will be shown. A muscular man came out by pushing the wheel table containing the first auction item an urn. Without explanation, the people there were already amazed.

Silvi looked at the urn carefully and wrote a few sentences in her small note. Silvi glanced at Alando. Alando didn't budge. His face was very flat with no expression.

A few minutes' delay. The first auction item was declared to already have an owner with a final price of 500 million.

"How does the item get a final price of 500 million? I don't see people making offers. Is there something they hold as a means of communication with the host?" Silvi was increasingly confused by the situation that was going on.

Not long after, the second auction item was brought by a different committee with a black box covering it. When the box was opened, Silvi was hypnotized. Blue jewel necklace emits blue light. 5 minutes later the item was again obtained by someone with a price of 2 billion.

The third auction item was brought out by several organizers. The auction item is a landscape painting. Silvi who had never been interested in painting could not write much.

"It's just an ordinary painting. What can I see from this painting?" Silvi muttered poutily

Silvi looked at her watch. The time had already passed by 10 minutes, yet the painting seemed to have no owner yet.

"Is this painting not working?"

"10 billion." The host shouted in a loud voice and some people looked disappointed.

The auction event was closed, making everyone one by one out of the auction room.

Silvi also stepped out of the event building. But his steps stopped. The host shouted saying that the auction painting had been stolen before it reached its owner.

Silvi did not show her surprise. Everyone ran to and fro so Silvi's position became desperate. Feeling no other choice, Silvi also ran out of the event building.

Because the auction event was conducted in the middle of the forest. Silvi did not understand the direction she should choose. Silvi just ran away from the building which was starting to be full surrounded by many people. Silvi did not understand where these people came from.

Silvi thought, there will be chaos because of the disappearance of 10 billion auction objects. The people here might not hesitate to kill each other. Especially with a strategic place like this.

Silvi just stopped running when her legs felt tired. Silvi started to loosen her gaze and found no one around her.

"Am I lost?"

Silvi regulated her irregular breathing. He remained calm, considering the tracking device was always with him.

"I'll be fine." he thought.

Silvi sat down and leaned against a shady tree. Silvi tried to close her eyes until she realized that dreamland almost hugged her. But the sound of footsteps eliminates the drowsiness. Silvi also prepared to standby and peek behind the tree that was used as a lean earlier.

A man who was behind him was giving an auction painting to a middle-aged man. Behind the middle-aged man were countless bodyguards with Lion symbols on their chests. Silvi recalled that the Lion symbol was the Ferocious Lion Organization which was an enemy of the Ranita Organization. His father always remembered him for never interfering with someone who had bodyguards from the Ferocious Lion community.

After the submission of the painting, the middle-aged man left with all the bodyguards behind him until only the auction painting man remained. The man turned around and his eyes caught someone hiding behind a tree.

Silvi was surprised because the man was someone she knew. It was Alando. According to Silvi's estimation, her bodyguards will find her in 5 minutes at the latest. So Silvi came out of her hiding place without fear.

"Hey jerk's. So you're the painting thief, huh." Silvi raised her chin haughtily.

Alando's eyes that had been slightly widened, returned to normal as before when he realized the figure that caught him was Silvi. Alando smiled and advanced making the distance between them no more than 3 steps.

"You shouldn't have seen this."

"I've seen it."

"Hide this."

"If I refuse?"

"You're just making it harder for yourself. Old man will kill you."

"What does Silvi look like? How can his eyes not show fear?"

"You're the one, right? Kill me before I tell anyone else."

Alando smiled mockingly. "I'm going to kill you"

Alando advanced shortening the distance of the two. His hand was about to reach Silvi's waist, but Silvi's leg first kicked the object that was between her crotch. Alando who was in pain took 3 steps back.

"not anymore. You're a jerk who likes to harass women. Finish history. I wouldn't rethink telling everyone if you were the auction painting thief."

Alando smiled back. He had managed to neutralize the pain in his groin. Alando advanced towards Silvi. When Silvi's leg again wanted to kick him, Alando had moved quickly behind Silvi. His hand quickly twisted Silvi's body and managed to lock Silvi in his arms. Silvi tries to rebel but her powers do not work at all on Alando. Alando then forcefully kissed Silvi's forehead.

"You won't be able to do it." Alando releases Silvi and steps away from Silvi.

"Basic jerk. How dare you kiss my forehead" Silvi threw a piece of twig not far from her. But the throw missed.
