When she left the company, she walked a few steps before her phone rung. She looked at the number before picking.
"Boa, it's about time you realised a new song. The nitizens are driving me nuts. They won't let me be. I'm afraid if you don't release a song soon, they would technically eat me up ."
"Let them wait two more months. I have a lot on my plate."
"TWO MORE MONTHS?" Was this girl out to get to get her? She just told her that the netizens are so mad they might verbally eat her up and this girl was asking for two more months?
She shouted so loud Yaa had to pull the phone from her ear in fear that she might lose her eardrums if she didn't.
After, the call, she hailed a taxi again.
An hour later, she told the taxi driver to stop, paid him and got out. She stood rooted to the spot she alighted and wachted as the taxi disappeared from her view before she turned and walked to her destination.
The sky was turning dark so she looked practically odd in her black top, black baggy jeans, black mask and black hat. In summary, she looked like a walking funeral.
She entered the place and walked straight into a private room. She took her phone and sent a text before she opened an app and started playing an online game.
When she logged in, the whole website technically exploded.
[ Did B just log in?]
[ Gosh, I'm so lucky I logged in today to witness the legendary B play.]
[ Even though I feel lucky that I am witnessing a legend play, now I don't think I have a chance of winning. I will just give up and watch B play.]
[ I think you're right. Well at least seeing him play will be able to pacify me.]
[ Who told you B is a male?]
[ Isn't it obvious, only boys can play that good.]
When the user posted this, there was a heated argument between the male and female users as to whether B was a male or female. Each gender insisted that B was their gender.
Yaa on the other hand ignored their argument and continued playing. Within thirty minutes, she was done and half a million cedis was transferred to her account. She quitted the app and concentrated on the reason she was here.
Unbeknownst to her, the discussion that started had become so heated it became the most heated conversation on Weibo and also the number one searched topic.

The auction started twenty minutes later.
The host gave a small info about every item that was presented. Those who came here for them battled and if someone offered a big amount and no one battled with it, the item was automatically theirs.
At last, she spotted the item she came here for.
" The zolgenma scientifically known as API asemnogene is one of the rare drugs in the world. It can cure almost every disease known to mankind. There is only three of it's kind that still exists. Due to how rare it is, it's starting price will be 21. 5 million Cedis. "
" 22 million", a card was raised and the host read.
" 28 million."
" 30 million."
The price went higher and higher but the two people in the higher
rooms were quite. Finally the guy in the room next to Yaa's couldn't take it anymore and raised his card.
" 40 million" it read.
The whole place went silent but Yaa laughed. Sure enough, she would have some company. Well it was time to let the game begin.
She also raised a card and the host read. " 80 million."
At this point the place was dead silent.
In the other room opposite Yaa Boateng's.

"Who is the person bargaining for the drug" a man's cold voice rang.
His personal assistant, Selorm Kluste answered.
" I have no idea. Maybe I can ask about the person's identity after the auction is over."
" Uh uh." He couldn't help it but his interest was quipped. It was either the person knew who he was and didn't care or the person didn't know but didn't bother or care. Whichever way it was, he wanted to know.
" 100 million." a card from room one which happened to be the room Yaa was in read.
"200 million" a card from room two which happened to be the room opposite Yaa's read.
"400 million" again Yaa offered but she didn't wait and quickly offered ."1 billion"
Selorm Kluste was about to raise a card when Ankomah signalled for him to stop with the bidding.
" The zolgenma is selling out at a price of one billion Cedis in 3, 2, 1 and it is sold out" The host said in an overly excited voice.
" Seems like the game ended earlier than expected." Yaa shook her head as she headed out to pay for the drugs.
She was walking towards the exit when four men who seemed to be older than her blocked her path.
She couldn't help but sigh.
" I'm not in the mood for this, just step aside and let me go. That way none of us would be injured."
Kwame Ankomah who was passing bye stopped when he heard a voice behind him. Initially, he was going to ignore it but decided against it to see if the girl could stand up for herself or not.
Not that he cared, most girls would retreat when faced with such circumstances but this one was actually not retreating and was even talking back, this was going to be interesting, he thought as he learned against the wall with his hands folded before him.
" What are you going to do if we don't? Call your big brother to beat us up?" the leader of the group mocked.
" I'm going to beat you up myself. I don't have a big brother" she said unhurriedly and lazily.
" I like it, you seem to be a fierce and mysterious one, don't worry I like fierce ones" the leader said as he walked towards her.
He stretched his hand in an attempt to remove her mask but before he could, Yaa grabbed his wrist.
" Ahh" he screamed as she broke his wrist in a go and kicked his thighs. His adherences charged forward to attack her.
She kicked the first one in the belly and he screamed as he fell down.
The other two paused seeing their friend on the floor but charged once they heard their leader ordering them. One of them threw a punch but was caught off guard when Yaa kicked him in the groin. He yelled in agony as he held his precious groin.
The other one retreated timidly when he looked around and found his friends on the ground screaming in pian. The one who got kicked in the groin passed out due to the pain.
Yaa walked up to him and said" Be smart and take your friends home. When they are in their right senses tell them I said they should pick on someone their size. And oh, wish them speedy recovery on my behalf, bye for now."
Saying that, she walked away with her hand in her pockets. When she reached where Kwame was standing she paused and said " Didn't your mom teach you not to sneak on people. Whatever you withnessed here never happened."
She continued walking leisurely and unhurriedly as if she had not just beaten three men a few minutes ago.
After she was out of sight, Kwame turned to his P. A and said "Find out who she is. "
