Chapter 385

: Funny

Grey, Charles, and Aphrodite got down from the car. Grey put on his face mask before getting down.

They walked towards the entrance which was guarded by two hefty and strong-looking men.

"There were men before them. So, they had to wait as the security guards took the invites before they
allowed them inside.

Grey brought out the two invites and stretched them out to one of the men. Charles gave out his as
well.

One of the men regarded Grey for a moment. "Who are you and why do you use a nose mask?"

"He's Hercules,” Charles revealed.

The guy's eyes twitched but they were gone from his eyes as quickly as they had started. Instead, he
stepped aside for them to enter.

Grey, Aphrodite, and Charles entered the spacious hall and realised that it was almost filled up. And
the auction has already started.

Aphrodite did tell him that only a few do attend the auction but seeing how many people were, Grey
was shocked.

They walked to their seat, and though Charles turned away he soon returned with a bidder card for
Grey.

"The Artemis and the Stag go to Giovanni!” The auctioneer announced.

"Giovanni is always an early bird,” Aphrodite muttered in annoyance.



"I bet he’s the only one that has been bidding,” Charles whispered.

Charles was sitting on the left side of Grey while Aphrodite was on the left side. So, Grey was in the
middle.

Grey looked at Charles. "What do you mean?”

"Giovanni has always been the only one bidding in places like this. No other people had the boldness
to go against him unless he let go of the antiques from his heart,” he confessed.

"That's nonsense. Isn't this place supposed to be for everyone?”

"I don't think so. If it is, then why do we need an invite?” Aphrodite wondered aloud.

Grey reasoned it for a moment. "So, why are there so many here if they wouldn't be bidding?"

Charles shrugged slightly. "Maybe they hoped that Giovanni wouldn't show up. But the moment they
are inside, there's no going back,” he explained. "It's the rule of the place.”

Grey groaned inwardly. "Why are there so many rules?”

Charles laughed softly. "I bet Giovanni is stacking the antiques for the future.”

Grey looked at Charles again. "I don't understand that. Why would he spend his money on antiques?"

"Well, that's why there's an auction. Giovanni could always make a lot of money on it later on. He's
obviously stacking them up Incase disaster occurs," he muttered.

"Just like the one we went to weeks ago. Giovanni wouldn't have expected to see me here but I will
spoil plans for him this time as well,” he said with determination.

"This Persian Rug will go for 20 million dollars,” the auctioneer started. "Who's going for it?"



"Are you getting this?” Charles inquired.

Grey nodded once. "Yes but not yet."

Silence descended for a few minutes.

Aman raised his bidder card. "I will take it for 21 million dollars.”

“Alright. Is there anyone? Or the Persian rug will go with Mr. Parker!” The auctioneer stated.

"Giovanni isn't saying anything again. Does he know you are around?” Aphrodite observed.

"30 million dollars,” Giovanni said suddenly and raised his bidder card.

"I knew he was going to,” Charles laughed.

"40 million dollars!" Grey announced suddenly, shocking everyone as they didn't expect anyone else to
talk the moment Giovanni had spoken.

Charles raised Grey's bidder card in the air.

The auctioneer cleared his throat. "Does anyone has another day?” He waited for a few minutes.
"Good! The Persian Rug goes to the Hercules!"

The name sparked murmurs immediately as people turn around to look at him. Whenever they see the
mask, they would release an exasperated sigh.

But they didn't expect Hercules to be at the auction at all.

"The next antique is a white porcelain moonflash. And this is going for 10 million dollars."



"20 million dollars," Giovanni stressed and looked backward toward Grey. His gaze locked with Grey for
a moment before he looked away.

"30 million dollars!" Grey yelled out.

Everyone gasped.

The auctioneer smiled. "The White Porcelain Moonflash goes to Hercules," he announced.

"The next item is the Patel Philippe Super complication Pocket Watch,” the watch was pulled out as he
spoke.

The watch was a nice one and Grey loved it for himself immediately.

"It's going for_," the auctioneer started but was cut off by Giovanni.

"30 million dollars!” He announced and raised his bidder card.

"35 million dollars!" Grey said quickly.

Giovanni looked backward and one could see the angry look on his face. If looks could kill, Grey might
have been dead at that moment.

"Right! Patel Philippe Super complication Pocket Watch goes to Hercules!"

Four men stood up at once, they were all clad in a black suits and wearing a difficult look like the
security guards at the entrance.

They walked slowly towards the door but turned suddenly and moved towards Grey.

"What are they doing?" Aphrodite inquired.



Aman got up and moved closer to the auctioneer. He whispered in his ears and the auctioneer's eyes
went wide with shock.

Grey was able to read his expression before he rushed out of the hall.

"Why does it look like something is going to happen?" Charles uttered while still observing what was
going on around them.

"It looks like Giovanni is planning something,” Grey whispered.

Five men stood from the congregation at the same time and moved back towards where Grey was.

Grey saw Giovanni whisper something into a man's ear. The man stood upright and brought out his
gun. He shot it in the air and everyone jerked up in shock.

There was a sudden scream as some people rushed towards the entrance.

"What just happened? One of Giovanni's men just shot in the air," Aphrodite noticed.

"Are you guys seeing what I'm seeing?’ Charles looked at Grey. "It looked like Giovanni planned it.
Maybe he has been doing that for so long.”

Giovanni stood suddenly, and five men stood up with him.

"Leave now, if you can or you will be gone forever,” Giovanni yelled in anger.
