Lucas was glazed, he was setting himself up in a black tuxedo suit without a tie. His body reflected clearly in the mirror, revealing a handsome male figure, like a Greek God. If the most handsome God is Zeus, the strongest God is Poseidon, and Hades is among them. So Lucas is a blend of the three. He was handsome, powerful, yet ruthless like Hades the ruler
hell.
Lucas is still busy steadying himself, he's getting ready to go to a place. Very dear indeed, Lucas's good looks are inversely proportional to his more inclined character. Horrifically. His high arrogance, his inexorable domineering sense.
It was all Lucas' side that was just shown to one woman, Rachel. Since yesterday Lucas has been clueless. For the first time, he regretted his actions. His actions are in the land of spontaneity without basis. He immediately showed his dominance towards Rachel. Hurt the woman, not just her physique. But also through his words the other day. It never crossed his mind that a Lucas Norwest man got a strong rejection from a woman.
Therefore he was very provoked, but the result was widespread expectations. Today he was not as usual, all day he just stayed in the office. Not doing anything, he's just waiting for Rachel's arrival.
Stupid, really. Waiting for the person you just harassed to come see you back the next day. All of Lucas' employees could see the radiance of that aura.The gruesome glow of Lucas's aura, today was many times more terrifying. But the difference is, today there is gloom
in Lucas' eyes, not the usual intimidating glare.
“ Sir, the car is ready ... “ Shawn reported to Lucas, he knew all day his master was in a bad mood, more than the usual day. It would be better if Lucas swore and swore the oath as usual. Because it is a normal count if measured with a thermometer. But it was his Master who was silent, but Lucas' silence seemed to emit a more dense dark aura. It was dark, dark and horrible.
“ where the auction was held today .... ? “
Lucas asked Shawn in a lazy tone and his hands were still busy buttoning his shirt arms, his hair was really neatly arranged. Like a flamboyant male style with shiny hair and very melancholy, giving a firm impression that adorns a beautiful face, not boring if viewed repeatedly though. His reflection in the mirror showed every line of Lucas's face that was completely inexhaustible. So perfect. Too perfect even.
“ Hotel Glory, in the city center close to our subsidiary Mr ... “
It took a long trip to get there and maybe even Lucas would come late to attend the auction, because he was in his house on the outskirts of the city. Not in his apartment in the heart of the city. But he has to go there now, no matter what. Were it not for the sizzling rumors that spread quickly this afternoon, Lucas would not have had the passion to attend such an auction event.
“ Alright, let's go ... “
Lucas walked out his feet leaving the crowded wardrobe room with all sorts of suits he used to wear every day. Walking through the hallway of an uninhabited house other than himself and his employees.
Lucas' employee no one dared to do human interaction with Lucas, which is to talk to him. No one dared to talk to Lucas. Only Shawn spoke to him, and that was because of the demands of the job.
Lucas is already in the living room, a very spacious living room with all the expensive and classy furniture. Chair with shiny teak wood. Marble that became a floor decoration that was stepped on by the sole of Lucas's shoes. All is not cheap, all is really expensive and exclusive. But apparently, after meeting Rachel. He grew tired of this luxury and wealth.
Shwan opens the car door, allowing his master to enter.
“ Please, Mr ... “ Shawn looked politely at Lucas, but was only answered with a lazy nod by him. He went in and sat down, leaning his shoulders against the back of the chair. Her legs were crossed and it exposed her legs. Lucas' height may exceed one hundred and eighty inches, this is the gene he got from his father. Italian blood mix with Indonesian women beauty. That's that
it flows in Lucas's body. His body is tall, but his skin is a warm brown wood unlike many other Europeans who are pale white and have a lot of freckles. It was all because of the genes that his mother had.
Lucas looked straight ahead, watching the car Shawn was driving slowly leaving the yard, and a gatekeeper opened the gate to allow Lucas to leave. It's the same car as the other day.
The car he used to take Rachel. Unknowingly, Lucas' mind floated in the day as he carried the cold Rachel. The day she saved Rachel during a heavy rain from a perverted bastard. Uh! Waitaminute! I'm no different than that guy, I'm a perverted bastard, too. I'm a perverted bastard in the guise of a rich man. Now I'm sorry, as hard as I can explain to Rachel. He could not believe that I was his savior.
After a long drive, the car finally reached in front of the Glory Hotel. Red carpet has been named, dozens of people in neat and expensive suits of course, they have filled the ball room. It was seen from dozens of luxury cars parked neatly.
After Lucas' car had been parked neatly, he now stepped into the hotel hall. Walk through the red carpet with a lot of camera highlights that photograph it. Many journalists wanted to interview him. But Lucas ignored them, he didn't care. Lucas immediately showed the invitation card he received a month before the event was held, after being directed to the auction room, Lucas immediately took a seat listed on the invitation. Table number one. Front row table, closest table to display table.
Suddenly, a man pulled up a chair and sat down in front of Lucas. After he sat down, their eyes stared. That man is, Ramses.
For some reason they circled sharp glances towards each other. But Lucas is not afraid of anyone, even if it's Ramses. But, he doesn't know. If the courage that surrounds Ramses is the courage that comes from revenge. Such courage is terrible courage.
“ good night, Mr Lucas Nortwet “
Ramses greeted Lucas in a cold tone. Trying to pull his lips to frame a smile.
“ night, Ramses .... “
Lucas simply replied to Ramses without a hint of interest and without showing any respect. But it made the glint of anger in Ramses' eyes burn even more and blazing even greater. They then ignore each other.
Before long, the guest table was fully filled. Lucas could see a foreign minister sitting at table number five, he was rumored to commit acts of corruption in the art of trillions of rupiah but now he was even with the funds to attend an auction event like this, he said, this clearly proves that he is just waiting for the KPK to take care of it.
On the other hand, Lucas found an old face. A recently married senior businessman at his forty year old. He came with his young wife, a young woman. Women will be confused with treasure. Just look at them, the age difference is not in mind as long as the treasure flows smoothly. Lucas could already guess what kind of thing the newlyweds would buy.
In the middle, a lot of faces are always wara wiri on television. One of them is a public figure who is very famous, beautiful women who prefer to go to the auction alone without a partner alias without a partner like Lucas. In the middle is also the most crowded part, the most dense. There are a lot of strangers there. Because this is an international auction. A footballer
the famous ball is also there, he may buy whatever he wants, considering the payment is the most expensive.
A host took the stage with the show's breastfeeding paper in his hand. He stood next to the display table to place the auction items later. Before long, another male appeared approaching the host. It looks like he is the auction moderator this time around. And, Lucas's guess is correct. The man went straight to the moderator's desk which had a hammer tap and with a display screen
big behind him. The screen will show an increase in price.
The host opened the auction event in two languages. Shortly thereafter the welcoming event by the auctioneer. Willian georgi's. The old man who is also the owner of this Glory Hotel. The host handed over the loudspeaker to William.
“ good night everyone, so glad all the invited guests can be present at the auction tonight. Because I believe this auction is the most impressive auction from the auction before. The big star of the auction this time is really surprising, so I hope you guys anticipate your surprise tonight “
When you are done, talk. Foreign guests used earphones to listen to what William had just said in their own languages. And at the same time, the servants were circulating the wine on the tables of the guests. A thick wine and gives off a sweet aroma that is legit. From the wine, this wine must be expensive.
“ let's open the auction tonight with a toast ... “
William raised the wine glass he was holding high, rang the glass with a small spoon and made a loud ting sound. That means the auction has officially opened. With that a butler puts the first thing to be at auction.
A gold mask is placed inside the display table, the camera quickly highlights the mask and displays its visuals on the screen. The mask shaped like a puppet character is clearly visible on the screen there. The host began to describe the description of the mask. So too
the foreign guests who nodded in a nod when they heard the explanation on their earphones.
“ this mask is one of the rare masks found from the era of Maja Pahit kingdom. Red rubies placed right in the middle of the mask are rare rubies. The gold is forged manually in that era, this mask is true true rare artworks also impress “
I noticed the appearance of the mask, its shape is small when compared with other masks. The figure depicted on the mask was also clearly the figure of a woman. With a flat gaze and minimal smile, as well as the number of gemstones attached to the mask. No doubt, the mask must have been owned by a queen at that time.
“ we open with price starting from one hundred million “
Hammers are tapped by moderators. All the interested guests were instantly glued to the ipad screen on their desks. Pressing the number button that immediately appears on the screen.
“ one hundred and thirty million, still rising again now one hundred and sixty million. Oh getting up to two hundred million, still can be bargained “
The price has soared, now even on the screen already displays the number four hundred million. And still going up again, means many are eyeing the queen's mask. But Lucas didn't budge a bit. He has his own purpose tonight. And finally after a long time bargaining and bidding at increasingly higher prices. The hammer on tap, a sign that the mask was sold, sold for five hundred million.
Next, the display changed with the contents of the statue. A very large and heavy statue. Ordinary wooden statues. I don't know, maybe the wood material is expensive wood. We'll never know the price if we haven't seen it.
“ this statue is a wooden statue that comes from a tribe in the country of Sudan. Wooden statues made by former chieftains who are highly respected there. The wood is hundreds of years old, therefore we can call it an artifact. Therefore this wooden statue is very unique, rare and there is only one in the world “
The host conveyed the description of the statue in a seductive tone, as if to spread suggestions to all the guests. You must have this statue! Even if the price, pay. That's what makes the auction will last alot.
Bargain bidding on rising prices, it was all because of their ego. Bid high and higher again as if it was carrying their prestige. Until the end the most
rich and powerful who will run out of money because of the heat.
“ let's start with price, one hundred million rupiah “
The numbers on the screen are high, the nominal continues to rise and rise. But unlike before, now the price of the statue was a little slow in experiencing an increase. The price is two hundred million and has not gone up in the least.
“ there are still others who will bid ... ? “ the moderator offers, he will knock the hammer if this is the final price. But suddenly arrived the price soared up to two hundred and fifty million, a thrilling increase. Accidentally Lucas' eyes stared at the anxiety in the foreign minister's gestures.he looked anxious and typed a number on the ipad in his hand. Lucas immediately threw his gaze towards the screen, Just as Lucas had expected.
The price of the statue goes up, but it's irresponsible. From two hundred and fifty million to four hundred and fifty million. Lucas salutes the Minister's courage to take risks. But it seems like there are others who want the statue, as the price goes up again.
Five hundred million. The minister was a drunk, he did not think anyone would bid more than the price he offered. The river has a lot of money.
Lucas watched the Minister with great interest, his eyes staring at the hand that typed the number of misterisu numbers, no matter what price will appear on the screen later. It's interesting, Lucas thought as he sipped wine in his glass. The numbers on the screen show the price of six hundred million now, not bad. It means he has a lot of money just to buy a statue. But prices are back on the wobble, now
six hundred and forty million.
The minister was getting more and more drunk, Lucas could see the panic on his face. A sweat dripped down his temple. For a moment Lucas saw that the man took a deep breath, okay. Let's see, the final price you're offering.
The price changed after the Minister pressed the enter button. Guests were astonished, prices soaring up from before. Now the price on offer is one billion!!!. Up almost four hundred million, ten times the price offered. The veteran minister was so enthusiastic about anticipating an increase in prices. Butno.
“ with this, statue sold for one billion rupiah “ hammer on tap. The offer sign is over. Now Lucas looked at the Minister, breathing a sigh of relief. Lucas smiled here. He lifted his wine glass.
Inhaling the sweet aroma that filled his sense of smell. Sipping the wine little by little. That's how you enjoy wine.
“ let's see, politics will not be far from money ... “
Lucas muttered and immediately turned his body facing the display. What else this time?
