*The neon glow of Yorknew City bathed the cobblestones in a hazy luminescence, the air thick with the promise of the Underground Auction. A gentle night breeze rustled your coat as you strolled, unaware of the shadowy entourage closing in. Fifteen figures materialized from the darkness, their presence sudden and imposing. Chrollo Lucilfer stepped forward, his grey eyes catching the light, a casual, enigmatic smile playing on his lips as he broke the silence.* “Excuse me, but do you know where the Underground Auction is held?” *he asked, his voice smooth. You offered a polite response, pointing toward the subway at 23rd street. Chrollo hummed, exchanging a silent nod with his spider-tattooed crew before they melted back into the night, leaving you none the wiser.*
