Ch: 84 [Rumble in Auction]
Ch: 84 [Rumble in Auction]
[3rd person POV]
Gizzle Grace was chatting with her friends in a private room in the auction house. Well, to be more specific, her friend Mariah was chatting, and Gizzie's other friend Lani was listening, while her eyes were on her phone. She was reading a mail from one of her associates.
Today, Gizzle came to the auction to sell a car and buy some cars for her collections. She heard the news that in today's auction, the auction house is putting up three rarest cars that are next to near impossible to get in mint condition. So, she flew in yesterday to attend the auction and since she was here, she decided to sell the Mustang, that was gathering dust in her warehouse.
After all, it would be the first time that Gizzie had been in an auction in a few years. There had been a small event when she had gone, but it was nothing like this in a long time.
A lot of people were selling their own cars, which were probably worth millions. And they were selling at auction just because they had money, which was ridiculous to anyone but some of the wealthier folks who liked the thrill of watching money being made by others. It was like gambling.
The auction house was packed and the atmosphere was lively. It always got busy here as soon as someone enters a place. People kept walking up and down the aisle, bidding off their cars, and sometimes there were shouts and screams that echoed through the hall. Gizzie liked to stay out of those kinds of situations. She had her trusted men take care of the bids.
And if she needed anything, she would just order them.
While Gizzle was enjoying the useless chatter, the door opened and a man in a black suit came in. He looked at Gizzle's friends and said, "Leave." Mariah nodded curtly and followed Lani outside of the room. As soon as the door closed, he turned to Gizzie with a serious expression.
"John," said Gizzle.
"Alex Wilson is here. He is standing before his car," John whispered in a low tone as if he feared he might wake someone. "He might have suspected something."
"John," Gizzle looked calm and composed, "There are too many people in this place and where there are too many people, accidents are bound to happen. Do take care of the situation and if it fails, maybe another terrorist bombing won't be that bad, I suppose." With that, she walked around John and dusted the specks of dust from his black suit.
"As you command," John responded with a smile and left the room.
"Alex Wilson. It seems our paths crossed again," Gizzle mumbled to herself as she sat on the sofa with a cold expression.
...
The auction started.
The first car was auctioned off. Everyone was waiting for the buyer to make the bid. Alex Wilson didn't make a single move during the whole procedure. His face didn't change when he read the price tag of the car. He could care less about the other cars. His eyes were on his Mustang.
After the fifth car, his Mustang Eleanor was up for bidding. A lot of people wanted the car, since there are only 2 or 3 of them in the world in working condition and the fact that it has been used in a movie made it even rarer. The bidding started at 1 million dollars.
"Freaking hell!!!" Jenny gasped after hearing the bidding prices. She never imagined a car could cost that much, "You sure you want to buy it? Couldn't you just report it to the police or something?"
"If you want, I know some guys..." Harley whispered in Alex's ears.
"Nope. Don't worry about it. I will get this car legally right before everyone and then you will see how I make that bitch pay," Alex said, trying to keep his calm.
In the end, Alex bought back his car for 2.8 million dollars. However, a sudden explosion shook the building. Everybody panicked and started screaming.
The ceiling fell down and shattered everywhere. Luckily no one was caught under it. People kept falling and rolling in different directions. Some people ran for the exit. Many of them tripped over something and crashed into things.
The awakened guards escorted the VIPs while the others barred the door after hearing the sounds of gunshots. To infiltrate a secured place requires power and information on the layouts. So the ones who infiltrated the auction must be a high-class terrorists. No one knows what kind of threat they pose. All everyone did was take a guess after hearing the gunshots and civilians screaming.
"Hey, everything going to be alright," Alex said as he tightly grabbed Jenny's hands. Then he turned toward Harley, "Keep her safe, Harl. At all cost."
"I will, Puddin'... You go and rip their guts out," Harley said as she grabbed Jenny's shoulder.
Alex nodded and turned toward Nyssa and said, "You coming?"
He had his suspicions about Nyssa. he knew that she was someone with power and influence. But he couldn't find anything about her. So, he wanted to see her reaction to this situation.
"I thought you will never ask," Nyssa said as she cracked her knuckles, "It's been a long time since I stretched my legs."
"Alright, let's go kick some ass!" Alex shouted with a grin on his face as he took off with Nyssa behind him.
As they were about to exit the room, the security guards tried to stop them from opening the door, Alex kicked the door open and went outside with Nyssa. Then he fixed the door with his Q&Q and enhanced the entire room. Right now, that room can withstand at least five to six shots from a tank. And since he had already enhanced Jenny's and Harley's bodies, he have nothing to worry about anymore. He can let loose his anger.
Now he could finally feel the satisfaction that he had been craving for ages. He won't have to hold back his power against some terrorists.
"When did you figure it out?" Nyssa asked Alex as they walked openly through the empty hallways.
"I had my suspicions for a while now and it seems I was right," Alex answered calmly.
[Booom!] Their conversation was cut short. The wall on their right broke and a man flew out like a meteor. He crashed into the left wall. His condition doesn't look good though. Blood covered his mouth and his left arm was mangled. He looked like he lost a fight with Hercules or Godzilla.
Then a woman in a suit jumped out from the other side of the broken wall. She stopped and turned toward Alex and Nyssa.
"Who are you guys?" She questioned, "You two don't look like one of these fuckers and my tingle says you two aren't regular civilians either."
Alex's Weapon Master senses were tingling. He could see details of the explosives grafted into that man's jacket.
"Neither are you," Alex blinked before the half-dead man, picked him up by his throat with his right hand, and ripped open his shirt, revealing a ticking time bomb it's about to explode in 10 seconds, "But, you are too hot-headed." He pulled the yellow wire and then crushed the timer between his fingers.
'Weapon Master is awesome. Fuck! Can't believe I diffused a freaking bomb. But who is this lady?' Alex thought.
[Ting!] The elevator opened.
"Damn it!!!" The hot-headed woman screamed. She punched the wall on the left, shattering it to pieces, and jumped out. Then she shot out webs from her wrist and tried to pull Alex and Nyssa out. But both of them avoided.
'Webs! Spider woman!' Alex thought.
[Bang] [Bang] The three armed men came out of the elevator and started shooting.
Alex turned his back and hugged Nyssa. The bullets got reflected from Alex's body, "Fuck! It still stings like mosquito bites."
"You are bulletproof?!" Nyssa asked.
Alex just smiled without replying. The terrorists stopped to reload.
*Shadow Dasher*
Alex became a wisp of shadow and appeared before the first man and punched his stomach. His guts and organs burst out from his back. Then Alex blinked before the second terrorist and punched his guts out just like the first one and as for the third one, Alex blinked behind him and grabbed his spine, and pulled it out from his back.
Three terrorists died in less than 5 seconds.
