Adam could hear a blaring alarm as the speakers began to wail sirens.

“The building has entered a state of lockdown and nobody can leave or enter” repeated the speakers. ​​

[They must be planning to trap in the thieves and wipe them out before they can get external assistance and they must have dozens of guards that are armed within the building] observed Adam.

[The thieves can’t be that stupid and must know that there will be reinforcements coming from around the building] thought Adam to himself, confused by the plan of the thieves.

The building they had entered, from what Adam had seen, had a hollow centre where there was the stage and the Auction House, with the area around it being viewing rooms that went up the floors.

So, unless the thieves were able somehow blocking off the hollow centre, that had the valuables and not that many guards, it would be impossible for the thieves to pull off the robbery and get away.

As Adam thought that, while dashing towards the centre, there was a chain of explosions all around the auction house, blocking it off from the rest of the building, before reinforcements could enter to support Angelo, the woman and their loyal guards.

The wolf fang gang’s plan was much more detailed and intelligent than any of them imagined, and the wolf fang leader had taken into consideration all complications that would and could occur.

The shutdown of the building was inevitable after they took out the power, and helped them with their plan, as they detonated the bombs that they had previously placed at all the entrances into the Auction House, that was situated in the centre of the building.

After the power shut down, everybody would rush to get away, apart from the few guards, the woman and Angelo, that wouldn’t want to leave their valuables.

They also had prepared themselves weapons, and night vision, and also had an escape route through the sewers that they had prepared and tested before hand.

Therefore everything that the Auction House would do to defend itself, was part of the wolf fang gang’s plan, and if all witnesses were massacred, nobody would know what had occured.

It was the perfect plan that took into consideration everything that could possibly happen, including everything that the Auction House would do to defend itself.

It included ways of dealing with everything, apart from Adam, the anomaly, that couldn’t be seen as a normal person that would react in the same way as everybody else.

Adam sensed something was off, and as he did so he was launched flying and crashing into a wall by the shockwave of the bomb closest to him.

However he had luckily prepared his body for the shock and with his high HP and resistance, he had only lost 10 HP from the impact, that he knew would recover quite quickly.

[Whoever did this must be very smart and prepared and I must be careful] noticed Adam as he got up and dusted his clothes.

Adam, the woman and her 5 guards, Angelo and his 5 guards and the members of the wolf fang gang were all blocked in the centre of the Auction House.

The winner would be able to either gain, or defend their valuables and was also the one that decided what was released to the public, if they needed to justify themselves, just like throughout history where the winner dictated what was stated in records.

While Adam was looking for a vantage point of the centre, that he knew would be the inevitable meeting points of the thieves and the woman and Angelo with their guards, that were at the back of the auction house.

The woman who was previously presenting the auction on the stage, was also the founder and owner of the Silver Moon Auction House and by the wolf fang gang attempting to steal from them, they were making a massive declaration to the underworld of Brooklyn.

“We are blocked inside the centre and if we stay here we will be merely sitting ducks that will be easier to slaughter. The only option we have is to negotiate with the thieves and hope that they don’t have a way to escape that we can offer for our safety” stated the woman.

Angelo was very arrogant and didn’t want to lower himself to having to negotiate with them, but at the same time, he was human just like everybody else and the most important thing to him was self-preservation.

“Okay, but my weapon is not up for offer and if we see that we have a chance against them in battle we will take it” agreed Angelo who held tightly to his creation.

It took him months to find the materials necessary to make it and weeks of work and designing to be able to make the weapon that was one of his greatest creations.

Their 10 guards, without needing orders, knew that their life in comparison to a master weapon forger and the master of a large auction house, was worthless, and formed a circle around their masters.

All 10 of them were armed with knives and pistols, that were small and easy to carry without showing that you were armed, but were also less powerful and intimidating than other weapons.

Withdrawing their weapons, they led their masters towards the central area where they knew was the obvious meeting ground, and stood on the stage, that had the storage area behind it that would usually be heavily guarded.

But when the power went off, many workers went down to see what had occurred and to turned on the back up generator and the others had left to escape, leaving the woman with only 5 guards by her side.

On the other side of the open centre, was the other entrance to the centre from which people could enter from, where the wolf fang gang members, that were involved in the robbery, stood.

“The wolf fang gang leader, you are behind this” exclaimed the woman furiously
