"Joker, Jack joined his son in an auction." Max inform his boss, who's busy looking at the calendar. He look at it and Mew's eyes was fixated on the date of the lunar eclipse, week from now.
Alex Traipipattanapong is called Jack. He's the 8th head of the Solitaire Organization. But he is hiding now as a lowkey mobster because of his debt in the organization.
"What? He dared to joined him rather than giving him to me?" Mew's eyes turns bloody red.
Though Mew isn't totally a converted vampire, he already had some traits of them.
Max shifted on his place. He prepared for his boss' anger, usually he always throws fit if his eyes turns red.
"According to the information I received from Club, Gulf Kanawut is expert in guns, he's a sharpshooter, and he is good in swords and bomb making. In his files, he agreed to be auctioned as exchange for freedom of his parents for their debts." Tul said, while also readying himself for a possible outcome of their boss' anger.
Mew sigh, "We'll join the auction. I want his son, I've been rotting for him ever since and rebirth is fast approaching.. I have a better place for him. Give me my mask Tul."
Tul immediately handed him a mask, his JOKER mask.
He was called JOKER in their organization. But he ain't a joker. He sucks on cracking up a joke. He can kill and slit one's throat without remorse. He can dance on any dead one's entrails. But he can't drink yet, not yet. His first feed will be special.
Max droves the car to the auction place sent by Tharn or known as Club the organization's tracker, he is together with Type known as Diamond. Tharn is Mew's cousin on his foster mother's side while Type is on his foster father's side.
15 years ago, Viqtoria a Romanian Vampire who fell in love with a Mafia boss here In Thailand, his foster mother had an accident, Mew in his young age didn't hesitate to helped them that cost his life, but in exchange.. They give him immortality. And after Mew will have his first feed. He will be forever immortal.
"We are here." Max said and he stopped infront of a particular hotel owned by Solitaire.
Mew wears his JOKER'S masked and he walk with Tul and Max towards the entrance.
"Excuse me, Sir Joker but the Queen ordered us to stop you." A guard dared to stopped them.
"You called me by my pseudonym, yet you dared to stop me. Step aside and let me in, or I will break this building in half.. I don't want to waste my special abilities in times like this.. Max.. Tell Yaya to stop meddling on my affairs." Mew said in his cold venomous voice. Max nodded and sent the message to the Queen.
The guard shook in fear, while he look straight at Mew's red eyes.
Mew look at him intently. "Move aside."
He immediately move out of Mew's way.
The auction just started, and Gulf was nervous as hell. This is his idea after all.
To save his family from possible execution. He know that Solitaire will not let this passed. So he will rather work on this organization in exchange for his family.
"Gulf, you're next."
He immediately stood up, and look at himself in the mirror.

He is wearing a black leather jacket, and a white shirt underneath. His mullet hair is carefully fix.
How much does he cost? Well.. Let's see..
Gulf step out of the stage.
The MC introduced him.
"The next is Kanawut, he is expert in guns, bomb making, and a sharpshooter. He can do any work as you see him fit. Starting bid, 100 thousand baht."
Gulf silently scoffed. Is he that cheap? He look at the audience and an old guy raise his stick with a number.
"Two hundred thousand baht." He wink at Gulf.
The MC smiled widely. "Two hundred thousand baht, going once, going twice?"
Fuck no.
Mew smirk behind his mask. He tilted his head to Max. And Max get the message.
"Five hundred thousand baht." Max raise his stick to catch the attention of the MC.
The MC look at his direction. And his eyes darted on the man with the joker's masked.
He became silent for a while and Gulf noticed it. He followed his sight and there he saw the man, with a mask. Sitting comfortably.
"JOKER." he squint his eyes towards him.
The MC recovered in his shock and smiled at the audience. "Five hundred thousand baht, going once, going twice?"
"20 million baht.. Take it.. Or leave it.." Mew got bored. He stand up and the spotlight hitted him.
The MC stilled. "Sold to 20 million baht. The auction is closed gentlemen, Good night."
Gulf was stunned. Who the hell in his right mind spends 20 million in a mere lowly person like him?
He knows Joker by the name, but not the person behind the mask. What is his purpose on this?
Mew stride on the shocked Gulf on the stage. Murmurs was heard in the function room.
Max and Tul followed him from behind.
Max talked to the MC, while Mew just stared at Gulf like he is the most precious thing in this world.
Tul breaks the silence. "Boss, What shall we do now?"
"Send him home for now.. I will fetch him tomorrow myself, and I will talk to his parents." Mew's eyes didn't leave Gulf's face.
"What are you planning to do with me Mister?" Gulf gathered all his courage to ask.
"You will find out soon, Tul, escort him back home, no scratches please."
"Yes, Boss."
"W-wait! I still want to talk to you!" Gulf attempted to hold Mew's arm but in a fast move, Mew step away.
Gulf was shock. He moves like the air. How can he do that?
"Save it for later, You need to rest. Go now."
Mew don't want his first feed to touch him until the day of the blood moon comes.
After Max settled the bid, they head home.
"Call Diamond for me.. Tell him to prepare everything for my special night."
