Sacred Time

Chapter 8: Surprised and puzzled



Back in the auction house party night .

Chattering noise covered the entire party hall.

Two more people joined the dining table.

"You Gentleman seems to enjoy the party !" A man in his mind 40's speaks.

" Something like that " Levi answers.

Igor doesn't say anything, he just looks at them and nods.

Mr.glynn also nods at them.

These two people are holy church and revolutionary crusades .

Thomas Davies leader of the crusades and Leto Abate head of the holy church

One more person joins the table.

This man, he is in his 70's . He looks fragile, he can pass away anytime soon.

" I hope I didn't interrupt anyone " the old man says.

" No, no, Mr.Bó. you are welcome here " levi greets him

Everyone at the table stands up and greets him.

This old man is Chen Bo, one of the oldest Chinese families. The Bó Family.

He owns several corporations all over the world, his wealth is immense . If we calculate his wealth he would be one of the richest men on earth .

"Haha , thank you young man " mr.bo laughs and sits on the chair.

"You look healthy old man " Igor says while sipping his drink

" What do you mean healthy, I feel like I'm gonna die anytime soon " mr.bo replays

" Come on , I'm pretty sure you could live more than a hundred year mr.bo" mr.glynn says with a playful smile.

" Hahah , do you really think that yu-jin "

" You already live seventy years, what could stop you from living thirty more years " levi comments as he eats his steak.

" Mr.bo, I heard you bought some shares in apex tech " Thomas asks

" Oh it's nothing, my grandson persisted on investing in the future " mr.bo brushes off.

" You sound like you have a lot of change laying around to play with your grandson" Thomas jokes

" For your grandson ? I think he is around ten years old, right ? How does he know about finance and the future ?" Leto says.

" He is a genius, he is more useful than some of my kids"

" I too have grand kids but they are spoiled brats" mr.glynn says.

" Well they are kids, they are supposed to be like that " Levi tells

" Now. Everyone please enjoy the dinner " mr.bo tells

Everyone continues to dine and chat about some normal conversation like financial and stocks. After a few minutes mr.bo confronts.

" Today's auction was special, right?"

" No, it was more than special " mr.glynn says.

Everyone agrees." Yeah it was. "

" I'm not sure if we can ever have one like this again" leto says as he keeps his utensils down.

"Don't worry, we will do a lot more than this in the future"Mr.glynn says

Mr.bo asks " are you sure ? "

" I'm pretty sure. We are about to enter a new era "

Everyone on the table was shocked and stopped eating their dinner.

What mr.glynn said was a typical word. Like some old man speaking, If normal people said that it would be normal, but if a rich billionaire with power and influence said that it would be a lot more than normal, more like major changes , significant transformations in social, political, or economic structures that alter the course of history.

"Mr.glynn, what do you mean by that" Thomas asks.

" Just as i said , soon we will enter a new era " mr.glynn says as he eats.

" How ? Are the stock markets gonna rise ? Is any country or government gonna fall ?" Leto asks

" Hmm , not like that. Think of it like new innovations and inventions "

" Like what ?" Levi asks.

" You are a major part of it Levi, and not just you everyone here will be part of it "

" What do you mean "

" Didn't you get the item? "

" You mean the Lycaon claws and fangs ? I.. we haven't even started anything, or know anything and we don't know if we can succeed" Levi says.

" Don't worry it's gonna be successful soon, soon enough to shake the world"

" I don't understand " Thomas says .

" Now, if you know the future there is no fun in that . Right ? You have to keep some suspense "

" Yu-jin , it's not fun to keep suspense for an old man who is about to die soon "

Everyone pressures me.glynn to answer

" Alright, alright, I lost. When I said we are about to enter a new era is ...."

Some of them sweat down, nervous after hearing mr.glynn's words, a few of them think it as a joke and Levi asks " how sure are you ? What is your source"

" Hundred percent sure, as for the source i would like to keep that part a secret, we all gentlemen have secrets right !.

Everyone tensed up. Levi laughs, like a lunatic. He shouts "voooooooo"

"Will you sit down please" Igor calms him down

Levi sits down for a minute then stands again and makes an announcement, not just for their table but for the whole party hall " everyone, I'm holding a party, a few days from now . All of you are invited "

Everyone in the hall starts applauding as they get happy, to be invited by a billionaire CEO.

" I'll let you know one more secret for example, I'm the one who released the items, not all of them but most of them, except the gem and the mystery box. "

Everyone puzzled .

"You had this this whole time ?" Thomas asks.

" What ? Why ? If you had this item all this time you could have stood on top of the world " mr.bo says.

" Nah, it's a hassle. That's not what I wish for " mr.bo while drinking his champion.

All of them stay quiet for a while and then " mr.thomas, would like to work with us, with the gem ?" mr.bo asks.

Mr.thomas exclaimed and surprised " that would be an honour mr.bo but what's in return?"

" Equal terms on the item "

" Done "

"Then, my assistant will inform you of the details later " mr.bo and Thomas shakes hands .

" Alright then Gentlemen's, if you excuse me, I have some places to be " mr.glynn as he gets up from his chair .

As he was about to leave Levi spoke " mr.glynn before you leave , can I ask you one more question"

"Go on" me.glynn stops is steps and turns back .

" The item you bought, what is it .? I know you are a very smart man. Is it really worth it ?" Levi asks

Everyone stopped what they were doing and got curious, they all wanted to know the answer.

" I wanna know too, what is inside that's worth 700 million dollars that no one can open the box" mr.bo asks.

" Who said it can't be opened "

" Do you know a way to open ?" Igor questions.

" Of course I do , I have the key "

Once again everyone is puzzled, that box predates back to a billion year old and yet he says he has the key to open it ?

"So what's inside ?" Levi asks with the serious expression.

"Hmmm " he thinks for a bit and says

"Knowledge and power. An ancient deity,

;??#?!#@?#! SUPREME BEING"

As they heard the words, everyone was shocked, terrified, they felt a chill in their core .

Mr.glynn turns around and leaves but stops for a moment and speaks " Mr.bo, you're not dying anytime soon. Brace yourselves" and left.
