The name of this beauty is Nora. She was smiling at those sitting opposite her. She took a sip of the tea served by the servant.
"You have invited difficulties for yourself along with that stone."
The person opposite her didn't react to her words. This made the smile on her face grow wider. "There is no one here that you need to hide from; you can be comfortable, as I am sure those waiting for you outside can wait for some time."
After a few minutes of silence, the person took off the robe; beneath it was a beautiful girl with long black hair, watery black eyes, small red lips, and snow-white skin in an oval face. She had an arrogant expression on her face, as if she didn't put anything in her eyes. Her name is Jaya.
"By the way, I don't know why the young miss of the country's strongest clan had to visit my small branch and buy a stone by going against an arrogant guy, taking such a huge risk."
Hearing her question, Jaya smiled in return while sipping her tea.
"Lady Nora, I would like to assure you that I was here to gain experience; there was no other reason. And I found the gem good to make a gift for my mother. She likes to collect various types of rare gems and diamonds."
"Young miss, sorry to interfere, but now we need to leave; we are already late. If we waste any more time, it will be difficult to get out of here.", the middle-aged person standing behind Jaya spoke at this moment.
Jaya nodded to him and stood up, "Sorry, Lady Nora, but I will have to leave now."
Nora smiled and nodded at her, "I am happy that young miss visited me. I wish you a safe journey, but I want to warn you not to go through the VIP passage, as there are many people waiting for you. It will be much easier for you to go through the normal passage."
Jaya nodded and left along with the guy.
As they left the building, many eyes followed them, one pair of which was Arther's.
****************
Arther was standing in front of a stall that sold tabs and other electronic accessories. He had been visiting all the stores around the auction building to avoid any suspicion and keep an eye on the entrance.
After waiting for some time, he found many people doing the same as him. This made it more difficult for him to carry out his plan. Still, he didn't have any other choice but to try it out.
As he was doubting whether those people left through the VIP passage, he found them coming out of the building. They seemed oblivious to the situation they were in as they leisurely strolled around the street while visiting the nearby stores.
What piqued Arthur's interest was the person beside the middle aged man who never spoke or touched anything.
As they went farther and farther away from the building, towards the exist of the black market, the crowd thinned out visibly.
Arhter knew he had to wait for others to male a move first to find out the other parties strength.
While observing their actions, he understood that they were intentionally leading everyone outside the market well aware about the trails following them.
Arther is well experienced in spying on someone without getting noticed, as he has learned many such skills for survival.
