Kapitel 60: Not everything is sweet- Part 2

The count of gold went on when finally a man with blonde hair with gentle appearance was the last one to let the number fall at eight hundred and ninety-nine gold coins where no other person dared to increase the gold coins on the slave that was being sold on the stage. 

As free as the money came to the high society it wasn't the same when it came to the middle and lower class folks. They had to think more than twice and thrice before deciding if the slave was worth it. Of course, there were some idiots who didn't think much about their livelihood but it was only people who belonged to the higher society who could afford to throw away the gold coins without blinking their eyes.
