章節 63: Attending The Auction

"Hhmm, I should be able to grab her during the auction," Alros said to himself. It is currently morning of the day after he told Diana of his plan on grabbing her from the brothel.

The ecstatic cat woman was excited by the prospect but was told by him to remain calm. She agreed, acting like there is nothing wrong.

As for the reason of him choosing the time, it fairly simple. He was still not sure if he wanted to cause a commotion or not. But if he did so, at the same time, his clones will grab her away from the brothel.

There are some decent fighters, probably mercenaries, at the brothel, but with his clone receiving several upgrades from him, in preparation for the day, they are more than enough to grab Diana.

Now that he thought about it, he should also grab the rest of prostitutes as well, they will make a fine addition to his collection.

"Let's do that then," he smiled. He should have thought big from the very start.

To attend the auction, one did not need an invitation or anything. After all, it is the Underworld and while there are some organizing put in creating the place, it is still lawless, just less so with some enforcers to maintain control of it.

While the Jarasi Slave Market is not part of Suren City's Underworld, it is allowed to sell their goods here for one good reason, it has a lot of contact with a lot of Underworld. After all, it is an infamous slave trading group, probably in the 10 largest slave trading merchant in the continent, or the fat man said so.

With such reputation and being ranked so high, there is no reason why the Suren City's Underworld would deny such group from doing business deal and auction here. Aside from possible ruining themselves by trying to chase of the group, they could also gain a lot by letting them do business here.

From getting in some of the cuts, along with getting more reputation as the slave traders spread the word of the Suren City's Underworld, only a fool would do such a thing.

As he entered the Underworld, he did a quick check on the time. He still has 5 hours before the auction but the fat man had warned him that there will be no seat if he went 3 hours before the auction began.

He was not able to tell if the man lied or not, but just in case, he decide to head towards the auction spot, just to be safe.

Apparently, what the fat man said was correct. Even when he arrive with 5 hours to spare, there already some seat that had been occupied.

The auction was famous it seem, or it should be allure of an elf that attract them. He will never be sure. But still, he should be patient though he was starting to get bored.

Thankfully, he had 2 of his slaves with him, the one he bought before. While he cannot do it with them, he is not that shameless, he can still amuse himself by toying with them discretely. Not to mention, getting them to buy some item for him. He did not want his seat to be stolen after all.

As he waited for the auction to begin, more people began to crowd the hall. He had estimate the hall can hold up to 100 to 200 people, and it already reached its limit in 2 hours after he arrive, proving his decision to thrust the fat man was spot on.

His slave was able to get him some refreshment, and he was not the only one with such ideas. A lot of the attendance have brought their own slaves getting them snacks and refreshments prepared in the hall. Which is free by the way, courtesies of the Jasari Slave Market and the Suren City's Underworld, or he manage to hear, his demonic lineage helping him in such thing.

The hall itself have the seating arrange like a banquet, with tables and chairs arranged in such manner that he had seen in his previous life, having the displeasure of attending such event before.

At least, this will be more interesting, especially is he plan on causing some havoc to get what he wanted.

As his slaves get him another snack, the curtain on the stage part themselves, as a woman in a red dress, with slit reaching near to her buttock come into view. He almost whistled, appreciating the eye candy.

The woman looked around, her gaze falling on all of the people attending the auction before giving them a wide smile.

"Welcome to this Slave Auction. This auction had been arrange by the Jasari Slave Market and assisted by the Suren City's Underworld. But I will not get into detail of such boring thing. I am sure all of you are here to see and if able, buy the slaves.

So, we will not delay it any longer, so let's bring in the first slave," the woman walked away from the center of the stage, as a cuff woman with creamy skin come into view. She was wearing a thin and nearly transparent strapless dress, clearly done to increase the allure of the woman.

It clearly did it job as the hotblooded men in the room began to whistle in appreciation, liking the show and free eye candy. Not that he blame them, his junior already woken up by such display.

The auctioneer clearly appreciate it all, her smile become wider as she began to speak once more.

"This is a slave procured from the war-torn region of Salar. In fact, a lot of Jasari Slave Market slaves in this season come from that area. She was a daughter of low-ranking noble that was captured there.

Her purity was still here, but the slave was trained extensively to please the owner, which could be any one of you! So, if you want her, better grab your pouches as she did not come cheap. Let's start with 100 gold coins!" as the auctioneer announced the starting price, Alros felt like he was punched in the gut.

Even with the amount he took from the settlements, soldiers and the three adventurers, he still only gain somewhere about 800 gold coins. To think a single very good slave will amount to about one-eight of his total wealth, it show how poor, at least in the eyes of the rich, he is.

However, he did not plan letting such a good looking woman get out of his grasp. Especially a virgin. Already, a plan slowly come into being, with his original plan becoming even bolder and bigger.
