Part 1: Viper City's auction

From MC's perspective:

When we reached the auction house. The place was heavily guarded. There are a lot of guards monitoring the place.

"Many influential people are going to come," Ernest said with emotion. 

"Don't worry, we will get our spot," I said. 

Then we started walking towards the entrance. The guards who were inspecting everyone paused after seeing our attire. 

Then they let us enter inside without much checking. After walking into the building, we were greeted by a fat middle-aged man.

"Welcome to our auction!"

"Zack Lockwood" 

The middle-aged man said with a smile.

Hearing that both of us were stunned.

I asked, "Who are you?" 

I have never seen him before.

The fat middle-aged man let out an embarrassed smile before replying, "I'm Audrey, manager of this auction house."

"If I knew you were coming, then I would have formally sent the invitation to you," the manager added.
