The black market auction

"The auction shall begin shortly!" A man dressed in a golden jacket with a black hat on his head exclaimed loudly as he stood in the middle of the stage. 

Everyone's attention was immediately drawn towards him and Hecathe also looked over at the man as he waited for the man to begin the auction. 

There were a few chattering noises coming before this but after the man had announced that the auction would begin shortly after, everyone simply fell silent as they settled down and waited in anticipation together. 

The man also seemed to be waiting as he looked down at his watch. 

A few more minutes passed and the announcer finally picked up his mic once again, "Since it's time and all of you have already arrived, we shall now begin the auction!" 

The atmosphere was dead silent and cold, giving off an eery vibe as everyone listened attentively to the announcer.
