Inside VIP Room No.1, a soft ding rang in Ethan's ears.
[Side Mission: Completed]
Objective: Acquire the Rings of Promise
Reward: $30 million
Ethan smirked to himself, resting an arm casually on the velvet backrest. Not bad. Three shiny rings for his girls, and $30 million straight into his system wallet. A win-win.
Just then, Arion's voice rang out through the hall once again, louder and more dramatic than before.
"Ladies and gentlemen… the moment you've all been waiting for."
The lights dimmed slightly. A faint gasp rippled across the audience.
"The final piece tonight,one of the rarest artistic treasures ever recorded. The legendary lost painting, created by the famed master… Da Goatcy."
He gestured toward the center of the stage. The floor opened smoothly once more, and rising from below was a tall, sealed glass frame.
"And now,Mosalina!"
The moment the spotlight hit the painting, the room practically stopped breathing.
