[Felix POV]
After I bought the Promethium, the next item that was introduced was Mutant Growth Hormone, it's also called MGH for short.
It is a serum that has the ability to grant temporary powers to the powerless, and increased powers to those who already wield them. It just began to be produced and there are few of them.
The bidding started at $2 million and it was sold for $9 million. It looks like no one wanted to gamble on it.
The next item was Adamantium, which is the strongest metal on Earth. It is nearly indestructible and nobody has been able to damage the material. A very skilled metallurgist was able to create Adamantium by combining other known metals in the periodic table and it was successful.
The Adamantium weighed about 440 lb (200 kg). The bidding price started at $500 million. It cost that much because currently, only the government has the material and it was more like it was stolen from the government.
The Adamantium was sold for $1.5 billion.
Damn, I thought I was rich but I'm not at that level yet.
The last items that were introduced were 2 dead blue aliens. Yes, that's what the presenter called them, they had humanoid appearances but they were blue all over.
SPACE found out what they were.
[SPECIES: KREE]
They were Kree aliens. The presenter said they were the remnants of dead aliens that were left behind in 1995 during an invasion of shapeshifting aliens.
I guess Nick Fury hid the events of Mar-Vell but couldn't hide what the public or criminal organizations saw or heard. So, people made up stories in their minds to understand what was going on.
I don't know how they got the bodies and I don't care about them.
The bidding started at $100 million per body. The first body was sold for $600 million to one of the HYDRA agents and the next was sold for $750 million to John Sublime. The total for the Kree was $1.35 billion, which was a lot for 2 dead bodies.
I thought the last item was going to be Vibranium. The only person I know who can sell Vibranium is Ulysses Klaue and he didn't even show up. I don't know if it's smart of him not to sell at an auction or dumb of him not to sell at an auction.
[A/N: I thought I should've made the last item Vibranium but I changed my mind and had to change the course of the story.]
As I looked at my surroundings, everyone was beginning to stand up and leave, but I noticed I had eyes on me.
I noticed about 2 of them, but I don't know how many there were. I looked at Melina and Melina directed me with her eyes without moving her head. Melina showed me 5 others besides the 2.
I thought of an idea.
I got called to the other room to process the payment and collect my reward. Maintaining a voice like Jinwoo throughout the night is hard because I gotta say less and have a poker face to look badass.
I don't think looking badass is working, but looking like I belong with everyone in the room was working.
Melina walked behind me while I went to collect the materials.
I said something to Melina, only she could hear, when I got out. The promethium was put on a foldable flatbed steel platform trolley and Melina was pushing it, which she didn't like one bit.
We went to the back door to take the materials to DRIVE because they said we can't exit at the front door.
I opened the door for Melina to get out first.
"Stay dead," I said in a low voice towards her, which she didn't say anything to.
I activated my NAPS before I got out, which covered my body in 9 seconds. The guy that was showing us the way was surprised when he saw me in a different outfit.
The minute we got out, we got attacked by people who looked like ninjas. They were dressed in red, most of them, or more like, all of them. Which means it's some sort of organisation that's been operating for years, maybe decades if possible.
There were about 20 ninjas or more like assassins at this point. Ninjas tend to finish the job before they get noticed.
I don't know why they're planning to attack me. Is it because of that Japanese man that was trying to buy Promethium?
What was his name?
[NAME: NOBU YOSHIOKA]
Nice one, SPACE.
I looked at Melina and she was already holding her guns and aiming at them.
One of them threw a dagger at the guide and it stabbed his throat and he started to bleed out on the spot.
Melina started shooting but those damn ninjas were so agile that they avoided critical damage. They threw daggers at me and I had to protect my head because I didn't make a helmet for the suit, I thought it looked ridiculous.
When they threw daggers at my head, I made sure to dodge even if there were cuts on my face, but it was better than death.
Melina killed 6 ninjas and she's not sweating while we've been fighting for about 10 minutes. Well, I'm hiding like a coward and Melina is the only one fighting them.
I don't have any experience fighting killers and I don't think I'm ready to kill anybody. My body can't stop shaking and that's when I realised.
I'm afraid.
It's not that I'm afraid of fighting but I'm afraid of dying. Technically, all living beings are afraid of dying. When I looked at Melina fighting all on her own, I don't know what makes her keep fighting but she fights. She fights to not be killed but to be the one doing the killing.
If she doesn't kill, she dies and if she kills, she lives to see another day.
My body stopped shaking and I get it.
I NEED TO SEE ANOTHER DAY.
