[Mars Mission Arc - #7]
...----------------...
"Forget it" is brief and clear what Dae-Vin said when asked by Araya about it. Araya smiled faintly, and then only remembered her previously delayed intention.
"Ehm okay. I'm gonna change clothes first. Hihihi.." said Araya who he ended with a small oddity. Then there was the sound of the door being closed and then locked.
Araya has entered a special room to change. Ignoring Kim Dae-Vin who was still silently staring at the door.
"That's all," she opened the closet to look for her new uniform. Slide a few sets of clothes hung with hanger, then take one of them.
"Ah yes, this transformation tool is energy exhausted. It must be filled immediately." muttered Araya after a quick look at her left wrist. The lamp on the device is dead. It was no longer dying of energy.
Releasing the device, Araya inserts it into a cube-shaped object that is used to charge the transformation tool. It didn't take long, it only took fifteen minutes to fully charge his energy.
While filling the energy, Araya also began to take off the jacket that she used since. Then he put on the uniform he took from the closet. The uniform is white with some gray parts.
Long story short, after Araya finished wearing her uniform. The sound of the announcement, his voice was not unfamiliar.
"All members please gather in the cabin." as soon as the sentence successfully delivered. That voice was Hanny's. I don't know what, without a second thought Araya immediately went to the cabin.
...----------------...
Arriving at the cabin, Araya comes last. It was not too late, but his other friends had been there since.
"What's wrong? Uh yeah, what about the element?" araya asked after the cabin door she passed was closed back automatically.
"That's what I want to talk about with everyone." turned the chair back, Hanny said. Araya immediately sat on the last and only seat that was still empty.
"So then, after monitoring the planet with Kim Dae-Vin, we concluded that the four third stage element stones are actually here" Hanny said seriously, while showing a hard scrap that does not seem to be made of tree fiber.
"Huh? Element auction?" frowning his forehead, Zaaryan asked after briefly reading the title of the small poster.
"Yep," Hanny replied while letting Zaaryan and Araya see the poster clearly.
"So you're saying, we're going to this auction?" tanya Araya concluded while looking at Hanny and Dae-Vin alternately.
They both nodded. Araya was again confused, "how do we follow him? Don't we have enough money?"
"Don't worry about that. We've got this that we're gonna use as collateral." With confidence, Hanny took something from inside her transformation tool. A black card.
"Huh? VVIP black card?!" Araya and Zaaryan widened their eyes to see what Hanny had shown them.
"Why are you surprised? We all have," Dae-Vin flatly said while doing the same thing as Hanny. Take his card from inside the transformation tool, then show it. The same card.
"What's? Then I have one too?" Zaaryan tried to do the same. It didn't take long, the third VVIP black card was already in his grasp.
"In a moment, I will try to take mine." said briefly, Araya immediately walked away from the room. He went to the locker room to get his VVIP black card inside the transformation device.
"This is the fourth one," while showing his card, Araya again sat in his original place.
"Do you think members shouldn't be refreshing? The contents of this card can be used for refreshing during the holidays." reply Dae-Vin at a glance he stared at the side face of Araya.
"Refreshing? It's in here, how many millions?" interested in the current topic of conversation, Araya asked again.
"Not just a million, but.. Billions. More precisely, each card contained ten billion." explained Hanny who made Araya and Zaaryan widen their eyes.
"You two still don't really understand this organization. Well then, you can ask us anything." said Hanny proudly. He and Kim Dae-Vin did understand more about the organization than Araya and Zaaryan did. You could say, they were both more senior.
"I wonder how rich are the people who founded this organization? Even its members were facilitated by VVIP black cards" Araya said in his heart while imagining a house as big as a palace, dozens of luxury cars, said Araya, as well as a company that has been worked on by someone who also founded this Asian element organization.
"I know you're hallucinating." Dae-Vin's voice dawned on Araya's mind as she began to travel.
"Hehehe, yes. But, I'm not thinking about the usefulness of this card. I just thought, if we were provided with this card, maybe the founder of this organization is very very rich." explained Araya.
"All right, you done talking about this? Can we go back to the original topic?" asked Hanny who was able to seize the attention of her three other colleagues.
"Continue on that topic." Zaaryan. He was also quite curious about the contents of Hanny's head that had been smoothly in thinking about the plan.
"alright. So, we're going to go to the auction of elements" Hanny said excitedly.
"Well, I thought you'd say that." Dae-Vin responds with a sigh.
"But but but, only two of us four will be representatives."
"What's? Why that?" Araya asked, before she had thought that the four of them would go together.
"Here, haven't you read it yet?" Hanny again thrust the small poster into Araya. Araya read it carefully. And there it says, "only representatives of two people from each group are allowed to join the auction."
"Then, who will go?" after reading, Araya asked again.
With confidence and a faint smile, Hanny pointed to herself. Then change to appoint Zaaryan.
"Huh? Why me?" zaaryan asked, he slightly did not accept. He thought that if he were to join, this money-wasting mission would not work.
"Here you go, don't worry, you're not alone anyway" Hanny said. "Well, I'm gonna borrow all your cards, okay?"
"What's? All?"
"He'em, we won't know how rich our opponents are, Araya. So, there's no harm in us being on guard" Hanny explained her point.
Indeed the reason it was quite reasonable, considering that this was a massive auction event that would be attended by creatures from various dimensions, so there was no harm in preparing a huge amount of money.
"Then, if you go with Zaaryan, what should Dae-Vin and I do here?" asked Araya while looking at Dae-Vin who had a flat face.
"You two just wait here, just in case there's anything. If there's an unwanted incident, then Zaaryan will ask to contact you."
