Asher said goodbye to his parents and began typing important information related to his new company, Aztech, which would be his first step towards achieving his goal.
"Emmy, tell Stephen to check the file I just sent him and arrange the car. We're going to the Harkins Auction House," Asher said to Emmy, who nodded and left to make all the preparations.
Asher wore a designer all-black suit and looked dashing, with a sharp jawline and crimson red eyes. He resembled a handsome devil who would fulfill your wish, but take your life in return. His charm was very high, and stats like charm were inherited values that were mostly decided at birth. While a person could increase their charm, there were limits to how much they could improve it. However, Asher could also increase his charm using the system's "AP." If he wished, he could spend his attribute points on increasing his charm.
Asher left the mansion and got into his car. Emmy signaled the driver to head towards the Auction House. They passed through a bustling area, which caught the attention of many as they saw a group of high-end cars passing by. A kid on the road was fascinated by the cool cars and asked his mom to buy such cars as well. The mother could only smile and say that they were too expensive for them.
They arrived at the Harkins Private Estate, which had been turned into an Auction House. Emmy got out and walked with Asher towards the VIP entrance. She had already arranged everything, so Asher received the best VIP room. Asher sat down on the sofa and signaled for Emmy to sit beside him.
"Emmy, I told Stephen that you will handle the administrative work for my new company. Do you mind?" Asher asked while looking at the catalog handed to him by a female assistant stationed there to assist the VIPs and make them feel comfortable.
"How could I refuse the young master? If you feel that I am capable of doing this, I will make sure I don't let your expectations down," Emmy replied confidently with bright eyes.
Asher was happy to see his loyal maid, who was ready to accept his sudden request. He needed to gather his own team of people to achieve his future goals and make sure most of his future actions were hidden from his family. This was one of the reasons Asher created his own company, so he could move more freely in the future.
At the same time, outside the Auction House, two sports cars stopped and two young women and two young men got out. It seemed they were heading towards the Auction House.
"Marcus, you're sure spending big today!" the other young boy told him excitedly.
"Of course, a man should never be cheap when escorting a beauty!" Marcus said while gesturing towards the two young girls accompanying them.
At his flirtatious words, both of the girls blushed a little. It seemed like Marcus was taking some girls on a date to the Auction House to show off his wealth.
"But are you sure? It seems like we may not be able to buy any land here," the young boy accompanying Marcus spoke to him in a low voice.
"Don't worry, who would stop me? I'm a member of the Williams family. They have to give me face here," Marcus muttered to his friend while laughing out loud. Indeed, Marcus was part of one of the elite families named Williams, but he was just a son from the branch family.
When Asher almost died in his previous life, the blue-haired woman who talked to Kevin was none other than the famous Heir of the Williams Family, Eva Williams, who was called the Genius Scholar in that future by the whole world. In the previous timeline, Marcus Williams bought this property, and when the "opportunity" arrived, Eva Williams cleverly took the rights of the land from Marcus Williams, and her family became one of the major contenders against the Greville family.
This "opportunity" was actually a dungeon. It was a low-level E-Class dungeon with low-level monsters, but this dungeon world had multiple Mana Stone caves. Even though Mana Stones were useless for awakening, they were used everywhere in the world. They were used as a power source, to enchant items, and to charge up teleportation gates. This world basically used Mana Stones as a fuel source, and Abyss Enterprises' main industry revolved around the constant supply and distribution of Mana Stones. The Williams Family was also one of the few elite families that did similar business to the Greville.
In his previous life, this dungeon cost the Greville Family around 30% of its net worth of 250 Billion AUR. This time, Asher would cut off the major business opportunity for the Williams.
"Come on, ladies, let's go inside," Marcus waved at the girls, who were admiring the whole Auction House. Marcus took them to a VIP room, and his room number was 6.
Meanwhile, in VIP Room No. 1, Asher was sitting on the sofa, waiting for the Auction to start.
After some time, Harris Harkin got on stage and said, "Welcome to our Auction, ladies and gentlemen. I, Harris Harkin, will be your auctioneer for today!"
*Murmur*Murmur*
Other guests were surprised to see Harris himself hosting today because he was usually a busy person, but it seemed like today was a special day.
Harris hosted today because he wanted to increase his network with the Greville family, so he decided to host the day Asher was coming.
Seeing the chattering of the audience Harris quickly started the introduction before wasting more time.
"Today, we have several mountain ranges and two special surprises for you guys," Harris announced excitedly. This news made the people who attended the Auction happy.
Marcus and his group were also happy to see this change from the usual.
"This was done because we have some special guests in the VIP Room today," Harris announced.
Hearing this, one of the girls got curious and asked, "Is it because of you, Marcus?" she said with shining eyes.
Marcus was dumbfounded, but he saw the opportunity and decided to grab it.
"Of course, the Williams Family is respected wherever we go, no matter who we encounter," Marcus said, spouting whatever came to mind.
Both girls started praising him, which pleased Marcus, who was only there to show off to these girls.

"Are you buying these lands?" the other girl asked.
"Of course, I will buy one land and one of the surprises Mr. Harris will show today," Marcus originally planned to buy a land, but decided to impress these girls more. Even the young boy was impressed by his friend Marcus.
"So let's start with our first land in a mountain range northwest of Soran. The starting bid will be 1 Million AUR, and the increment will be 100k AUR each!" Harris announced.
People started to bid on this land, and Marcus also decided to play along.
"1.5 Million AUR,"
"1.8 Million AUR,"
"2 Million AUR,"
"2.5 Million AUR," Marcus said from his VIP Room.
"100 Million AUR ! " a voice came from VIP Room 1 nobody knew who was sitting there but they were shocked at the bid. Even Marcus got startled by the amount.
"Going once, going twice, sold to bidder VIP Room 1 for 100 Million AUR !" Harris announced happily.
