Chapter 196 Waiting For tomorrow (Part One)
It was an extremely gloomy day.
The QY ind renders differently at night - it twinkles and radiates pure charm by the time the moon
arrives.
The ind was scintiting as if it was a dark night sky littered with yellow stars.
The yellow stars emitted the most beautiful sparkling making the entire night special somehow -
stunning, even.
Veiling the sky were the luminous stars hovered over the ind.
The QY ind was a gift from mother nature - it was opulent and fruitful. This made the ind a
popr tourist-spot and gain international attention.
However, because as what happens to allmercialized tourist-spots, businesses, small andrge as
like would start sprouting left and right. Everything could be found in the ind now - luxurious food,
wine, and entertainment.
Across the Eastern District of QY ind was the Southern District where business was also booming.
At the heart of the Southern District was an entertainment center where traffic was a constant and
people never slept. Cars that definitely cost a pretty penny were parked in front of the center and only
men in suits drove them. These people were tycoons and businessmen - people of wealth and stature.
Eric watched everything happen from his car - he sat there, eyeing the people. He nce over to
Lenny, a mischievous look stered on his face,"Let''s go in!"
"Apologies, Young Master, but not everyone can get in. Only those with an invitation." Lenny''s eyes
were the shape of an almond''s, it rested underneath her eyebrows that crooked upwards - teasing Eric.
Ericughed at Lenny''s words and slid a ck card printed with golden words out of his pocket. He
held the ck card up,"Don''t forget about Aaron," Eric winked. "There isn''t a single ce on the ind
I can''t go to. I go wherever I please,"
"Young Master, this is not the first day I know you, but I''m still notfortable about what you do,"
Lenny was starting to get impatient,"I can see it clearly that you just want to involve Aaron in this." She
rolled her eyes and crossed her arms, obviously irked.
Eric remained unfazed - he always was steadfast in what he wanted to do even if they were as stupid
as this. He shrugged and said,"If he can stay out of it, then good. I doubt it though, especially after he
got me and my brother involved in this whole thing." There was no getting through to Eric.
Lenny pursed her lips and didn''t respond. She couldn''t get through to Eric anymore. ''Who is Aaron?
Who could possibly mess with both Eric and Mr. Long?'' she wondered.
Before Lenny could even decide on anything, Eric had already stepped off the car. Lenny followed as
Eric walked briskly towards the entertainment center. The concierge weed them both like they
were any other guest.
"Hi there, do you have any new auctions today?" shooting the man at the concierge with a knowing
smile. Eric was trying to charm the man as he asked this. ''Would''ve been easier if this were ady, ''
Eric thought to himself.
The man at the concierge kept the smile pasted on his face as he looked at Eric thinking resentfully,
''Must be an heir.'' The man kept his disdain to himself as he answered Eric in his best self,"What kind of
auctions are you interested in, sir?"
Eric was smug as he slid his business card across the counter,"His Highness thinks he deserves some
fun."
The moment the man saw the ck card that Eric slid over, all the blood from his face had drained out.
He fixed himself and gave Eric the most reverent smile handing him back his card,"Yes, we do have a
special auction today, sir. If you would just follow me," he stepped out of the counter, slightly bowing
towards Eric''s direction - partly out of fear.

Eric nced over at Lenny, arrogantly. How dare she doubt him?
The entertainment center was luxurious - bars, restaurants, and resorts were everywhere. Though
they''ve seen hundreds of luxurious ces before, it still amazed Eric and Lenny - the bright city lights
reflecting on their eyes as they experienced this entirely new world.
The city was jam-packed - everyone was on elbows to elbows. Only the waitresses and waiters stood
out as they walked through the crowd in their sparsely clothed selves. They were sparsely clothed that
they were attracted to all of the people. It''s worth mentioning that the waiters were adonis-like in their
half-naked selves - beautiful and perfectly sculpted. And the waitresses? Beautiful and curvy.
Because Eric was a guest of Aaron''s, he was led to a seat at the front row where the VIPs sat.
"I didn''t know there was a ce like this on the ind!" Eric said excitedly. His eyes were gleaming as
he spotted the jade tea set on the auctioning tform. The jade tea set was said to be famous for
maintaining beauty. They also said that water could never spill from the cup - even if you poured it all
the way to the top.
Lenny was a professional shadow. She was trained by the Shadow Organization famous for its
services for the royal family. Women were notmonce in her profession but she was undaunted.
Lennymented,"I thought this was an auction for selling items, not selling morals?"
Eric shed her a quick smile, ignoring herment. He was so focused on the items being sold, like
he was eager to buy something.
They sat through the auction for about an hour until Eric got bored. Eric tugged on Lenny''s arms,"Let''s
leave, I''m bored," he said, almost childlike. Lenny nodded and stood up - they headed out, leaving the
city before anything interesting could even happen.
"The best part hasn''t even started, right?" Lenny blurted as she nced over at Eric. As much as she
was against going there at first, Lenny was also curious as to why Eric really wanted toe here. He
obviously didn''t just go here to wander around aimlessly.
"Yes, it hasn''t even started yet, remember?" Eric responded, giving her a wink. The items that were up
for auction that day were rare finds acquired illegally. This didn''t surprise Eric at all because this was
commonce for countless countries to hold auctions and even have dark auction clubs where they
sold treasures like this. However, there was something about this auction that didn''t seem right. It was
different - at least to Eric it was. He had a gut feeling and he was rarely wrong about these things - the
items that were put on auction for that day were just appetizers, so to speak. He knew the main
courses were yet toe but none of these things were of interest to Eric.
