The VIP Auction [2]

After the short break of about five minutes, Nox, along with the other VIP members, was led into a much smaller yet lavishly adorned room. However, no one seemed to care about the opulence. All eyes were focused on the stage as the auction staff prepared for the final act.

Just like before, each of them was placed in a different box. It seemed the black market auction house was hell-bent on keeping the identity of their VIPs a secret. Nox didn't know the reason they were doing this, but he appreciated it. After all, he was not here to attract unnecessary attention.

By coincidence, Nox was also placed in Box Seven again for this auction. Shortly after he stepped inside his designated box, Amos entered the room as well. If only he had been a fraction of a second earlier, he could have encountered the person he had been looking for all these years.
