"It's The BROKEN HEAVEN"
The crowd gasped slightly before their whole demeanor changed as they looked at the stage with hawk like eyes, waiting for the item to reveal itself in front of their eyes.
There were some people in the crowd who came here especially for the sword and some came here to see if it really was the real sword or not.
The people who came to verify the sword brought out a set of binoculars and other necessary items to see through the crowd and onto the sword as clear as one can in front of an item.
And those that came here especially to buy that sword clenched onto their table number tightly as they were ready to buy it the moment the bid would start.
This people were so excited about the sword that they seemed to forget that it wasn't even unveiled yet.
Adam too looked at the sword as he brought his table number and clenched hard on it, then he thought about something as he looked around him and became irritated.
Not because they were looking at him or his foolish companion but because they were also looking at the sword intently like him and some even more as drool came out just from the excitement of it.
As he looked on the crowd his concentration was broken by a jab in the arm as he quickly turn to hear Carl's voice.
"So what do you think, is it real?"
"What's real?" Adam asked as he was still confused because his full concentration was on something else previously.
"The Sword, Obviously." Carl said in an exaggerated manner and then composing himself before anyone saw him like that.
"It's got to be."
"But what if it's not."
"An auction house of this caliber does not do business on maybe's or second hand stuff. This is as legitimate as it could get.
If the auction house said that it is the broken heaven then it will be the broken heaven."
"But the sword had been missing for a lot of years. Surely it had got decayed in the hundreds of years it was gone."
Adam laughed slightly as he looked at Carl like he was a fool. While Carl became a little offensive, he did not make a scene as their boss was listening on to them.
"If you really think that a legendary sword like the broken heaven would get decayed so easily then you need to get some knowledge about mostly everything legendary items."
Carl nodded slightly as he said, "Will do."
Adam snickered quietly as the man didn't know that he had just insulted him even if it's slightly.
'BANG'
Nigel brought the attention back to himself by stomping the floor with the cane with slight strength as a sound appeared and some air flew away in all direction.
"If you guys are being like that when I still haven't unveiled the sword yet, I wonder what it would be like when I unveil it."
Nigel didn't wait for the crowd's reaction to his slightly offensive words as he looked back and nodded towards the bunny girls.
The bunny girls getting their signal unveiled the item as the white cloth flew off but immediately caught on fire before it got evaporated by it.
The people in the auction hall were interested looking at the sudden fire but their attention was quickly diverted to the glass case below.
The item like all other was in a glass case but because of its big size it looked like the bunny girls were having trouble holding on to it. But their faces said something else or it was because of their professionalism.
Everyone in the hall was immersed in the beauty of the sword that was rumored to be the strongest before it got cut in half.
Adam was the most quiet one on the in the hall as his eyes glittered looking at the sword that seemed to be his childhood dream.
The sword was a Falchion, a single edged sword in the shape of a saber.
Adam looked at the handle that was a very old bone with white color from a dignified beast of the old age.
He looked at the swords middle point as light glimmered on it and was reflected back with clear clarity.
Finally he looked at the sword's main point which was its edge, even from where he was he could clearly see that the edge hadn't decayed nor was it any less sharper than he thought, What's more is that the edge looked even sharper than he had previously heard or imagined.
As he looked at the sword with full concentration like he had only been on life or death situation, his concentration was broken by a static sound from the earplug.
"Adam don't raise your table number at the start of the bid."
Adam became shocked as he stammered, "What? Wh- Why shouldn't I?"
"Are we giving up on the sword?" Adam asked as desperation etched in his voice.
"Yes" Delmar's voice came from the earplug as Adam felt an exhaustion coming to him.
Then William voice came from the earplugs.
"Relax, We are not giving up on the sword."
"Bu- But he said…"
"Yeah I know what he said, Do you really think after so much I will really back out on the deal?"
"Then was it…"
"Yes, it was a joke from him. Which couldn't come at any worse time." William said as he looked at Delmar with deadpan eyes who laughed sneakily as he looked at the face that Adam had.
Adam gave a huge sigh of relief as the feeling of exhaustion seemed to slowly leave from his body.
"So why shouldn't I bid at the start?"
"Why should you?"
Adam had a question mark above his head which William fulfilled.
"Why would you start at the beginning when you can bid at the end and easily be able to get the sword."
Adam nodded as Carl thought that it was a good idea too before a thought came to his head.
"But boss, Wouldn't that bring some attention to us?"
"Buying the sword will bring attention to us whether we want it or not. At least leave a cool expression behind which might increase some of our popularity."
"And also our business." Delmar added.
"Yeah and that too. Think about it…"
"A new and flourishing family that didn't seem to be any more common than the others in this hall suddenly turned out to be the black horse at the end that stole the show."
William said as Adam and Carl seemed to imagine a completely dark place around them and suddenly a huge flashlight lit on them as it brought a sense a fame in it.
But Delmar was quick to pop that bubble as he said, "But will the Great Houses let us get that fame though?"
All four of them fell into deep thoughts as William said, "Yeah, they are the ones that will be the most problematic but even they won't do anything inside the auction."
"What about outside?"
"We'll think about it later."
"And what if they bid let's say… 100 Billion Dollars?"
"If the great houses even bet a trillion dollars you can still bid for it, which you don't have to."
"Seriously Don't"
