Chapter 27

“Very well, I now announce that this auction has officially ended. Thank you everyone for participating and making this a great auction.” Manager Han excitedly slammed his gavel and announced.

He was very jubilant at the moment. This was the biggest and most surreal auction he had ever hosted.

It would leave a bright mark on his career as an auctioneer. Furthermore, the profit he has made today far exceeded its initial calculation.

Aside from that, this single auction has also raised the prestige of his auction house due to the powerful weapons provided by Natasha and Amelia.

It wouldn't be long before the news about what happened here today spread throughout the nearby survival bases like a wildfire.

At that time, the popularity of his auction house would reach a new height and hunters would travel from far and wide to participate in the next auction.

Manager Han’s mouth couldn't help but salivate with greed just thinking about the next auction.

“It seems like I hit the jackpot this time. I need to hold onto the thighs of these ladies as tight as I could.” He mumbled to himself as a cunning and resolute expression flashed in his eyes.

He wasn't stupid. He knew that if it wasn't for the weapons provided by Natasha and Amelia, this auction wouldn't have been that successful.

If he wanted to continue on that successful path, he would need them to continue to provide him with more powerful and rare weapons including ammo.

Meanwhile, soon as Manager Han announced the end of the auction, everyone on the first floor of the auction house began to disperse.

Most left happier than when they came in. They managed to see some of the big shots and even Lord Black Tiger himself- people whom they would never see otherwise.

Moreover, they also saw some incredible and powerful weapons, broadening their horizon as a result.

They witnessed the world of the rich as well, such as the Nine Executives. Most of them who thought they were rich realized just how impoverished they were in comparison.

They realized that their wealth was nothing in comparison to those big shots, just enough for food and clothes.

The majority of them left empty-handed but they were perfectly fine with it. They could tell their friends and comrades about the event, the characters and treasures they have seen, and most importantly, those executives who spent tens of thousands of white energy crystals like it was nothing.

......................................................

“Lady Amelia, Lady Natasha, thank you for your patience. Everything is ready, please follow me.” Manager Han bowed towards Natasha and Amelia and smiled.

Unlike before, Manager Han has become even more respectful towards Natasha and Amelia.

Even though he was older than them by several years, he treated them as though they were his elders. He felt very grateful to them for giving him this opportunity.

“Good, lead the way then.” Natasha nonchalantly said as she gestured for Manager Han to get a move on before following him.

They might look calm but they were dying with excitement and anticipation on the inside. It was needless to say mention Amelia, she was on cloud nine at the moment.

“We’re here.” Manager Han said as he took them to a large empty room. Aside from the three large poly box trucks on the floor, there wasn't anything else in the room.

Looking at the three large poly box trucks, whether it was Natasha or Amelia, they already knew what was inside of them even though they were all tightly sealed.

Without wasting any time, Manager Han took off the cover of one of the three large poly box trucks which then emitted a blinding radiance making it hard to keep their eyes open.

They struggled; their eyes narrowed before getting a good look at the pile of white energy crystals inside.

‘Holy shit.’

Even though they were both mentally prepared, they were still thunderstruck upon seeing the poly box truck which was filled with white energy crystals.

This was their first time seeing so many white energy crystals in one place. That was even more true for Amelia. Unlike Natasha, she failed to maintain her calmness as she was looking at the poly box truck filled with white energy crystals with bated breath.

Her eyes were wide open from shock. She gradually became dizzy since she had never seen such a mass quantity of white energy crystals before.

This was akin to a mortal finding himself in a room with gold bricks piling on top of each other - enough to drive someone crazy.

“There are a total of 71,100 white energy crystals in those three poly box trucks. Each one of them contained 23,700 white energy crystals.”

“We were able to sell all the items you provided for a total price of 79,000 white energy crystals. And after taking the 10% cut, you were left with 71,100 white energy crystals.” Explained Manager Han.

“Not bad.“ Natasha coldly uttered as she was looking at the three large poly box trucks filled with white energy crystals, not thinking that it was a big deal

According to her fake background, she was the representative of a powerful and wealthy gun manufacturing company.

If she were to be shocked at the sight of this meager amount of money, her cover would be blown.

As such, she did her utmost to maintain her calm in front of Amelia and Manager Han even though she was thunderstruck and dumbfounded as well.

“Lady Natasha, if you want, I can provide you security as well as people and vehicle to help you carry the money.” Manager Han suggested.

Even though vehicles were prohibited in the base, this rule didn't apply to a big shot like him and the high-level awakeners on the base.

“That’s not necessary.” Answered Natasha with a slight smile on her face.

At the same time, she began to circle around the three large poly box trucks before placing her palm on one of them and closing her eyes.

Swoosh!

In the next second, the entire large poly box truck filled with white energy crystals suddenly disappeared without leaving a trace.

“Hidden-Dimension Awakener…….” The moment the large box disappeared along with the white energy crystals, Manager Han’s expression greatly shifted.

In an instant, his old pair of eyes opened wide while gazing at the location where the large box had disappeared. He even rubbed his eyes since he thought he was only seeing things.

However, after rubbing his eyes for a while, the large box was still nowhere to be seen, meaning that it was not only in his mind!

Not to mention Natasha, even Amelia was shocked by the disappearance of the large box of white energy crystals as well.

However, unlike Manager Han, she didn’t know how Natasha was able to accomplish such a feat. She didn’t know anything about Hidden-Dimension Awakener.

Meanwhile, Natasha pretended not to see their surprised expressions as she proceeded on absorbing the other two large poly box trucks within his dimensional storage.

“This… This… is not possible…” Manager Han couldn’t accept what his eyes were telling him. He took a deep breath and tried to soak in this reality.

“How…..how come there’s a Hidden-Dimension Warrior this backwater place!” Manager Han quickly went from feeling shocked to being aghast.

Even a well-known and well-informed existence like himself who had seen many types of awakeners couldn’t help but be shocked upon seeing this scene.

Just like Spiritual Awakener, Hidden-Dimension Awakeners were extremely rare. Though they weren’t as powerful and frightening as Spiritual Awakeners, they were the most sought after and the most guarded against in this post-apocalyptic world.

They were known as the Ultimate thief or Dimensional thief by many, they could rob an entire base blind and no one would know it was them.

Aside from that, they could smuggle foods and weapons in and out of a base like it was nothing. They could use their dimensional storage to hide a plethora of things without ever being discovered.

Manager Han had heard about them but he had never seen one before until today.

“I think I got everything. Manager Han, it was a pleasure doing business with you. We’ll be in touch.” Said Natasha with a cunning smile on her face as she raised her hand to give Manager a handshake.

Even though she knew that Manager Han mistook him for the so-called Hidden-Dimension Awakener due to the system’s dimensional storage, she didn’t plan on correcting him and decided to leave it like that.

The more mysterious she looked in the eyes of the public, the better it was for her image. Also, it wasn’t completely wrong to call her a Hidden-Dimension Awakener as she indeed possessed dimensional storage.

Upon hearing Natasha’s words, Manager Han suddenly jolted awake from his daze as he hurriedly answered.” Yes……yes…yes, the pleasure was all mine.”

Manager Han found it hard to regain his composure after finding out that Natasha was a Hidden-Dimension Awakener.

“Ohh yeah! I almost forgot. I would like to buy the little cub you failed to sell at the auction house today.”Asked Natasha.

“Ohh, that little cub, I can give it to you for free. Consider it as a little gift.”Answered Manager Han with a respectful expression on her face.

The way Manager Han was looking at Natasha has greatly changed. His eyes were filled with a mix of respect and fear.

“Thanks.” Natasha smiled and answered.

After taking the little cub from Manager Han, Natasha didn’t stay there any longer as she left along with Amelia.

However, before leaving, Manager Han didn’t forget to remind her to be extra careful tonight as many people were watching her.

Though he didn’t how that happened, he believed that some of the big shots of the base suspected that she was one behind the new weapons and leaked the information to the public as well.

Sure enough, from leaving the auction house until returning to her residence, Natasha noticed more than one scout all along the way, and they were simply like cancer as they filled every single corner of the city.

Not only that but there were also many people waiting near the entrance of the auction house when she was leaving. They were strangely staring at them.

Unlike Amelia who was uncomfortable and restless due to the greedy gazes, Natasha still leisurely sauntered through the street as if unaware of the gazes.

“Amelia, go get your brother. You’re gonna be staying with me tonight. We’re gonna have some company.” Natasha coldly uttered as they entered the house.
