Chapter 256: Auction Race
The next morning, just after the sun rose, the crowds outside the market were already bustling. A huge stage was set up, decorated with gold and jade, which was particularly eye-catching. The auction was about to begin, and the surrounding stands were already filled with spectators from all over the world. They had different expressions, but they were all full of anticipation.
The trafficker leader stood in the center of the stage with a smug look on his face. He swept his eyes across the excited crowd below the stage, secretly delighted. He knew that today's auction would be an important experience in his life and would bring him a huge fortune. He cleared his throat and shouted in a loud and penetrating voice: "Dear adults, welcome to today's auction! I believe that today's auction will definitely bring surprises and satisfaction to everyone."
He paused for a moment, and then continued, "Today, we have specially prepared a batch of rare and exquisite items in the world. They are top-notch in both appearance and temperament. I hope they will be favored by you all. Now, please allow me to introduce the first item..." As he finished speaking, a person with his body tied up with ropes was pushed onto the auction platform.
Ladies and Gentlemen, the starting price for this race is 500 taels of silver, and each bid must be no less than 10 taels. " As soon as the trafficker leader finished speaking, a whisper broke out from the audience. Some people's eyes flashed with greed, and they began to calculate how to bid; while others frowned, as if they were weighing the value of this race.
A moment later, a woman in gorgeous clothes raised the sign in her hand and shouted in a clear voice: "Five hundred and ten taels." Her voice broke the brief silence and also aroused the desire of others to compete. Then, someone else shouted: "Five hundred and twenty taels." The price continued to rise, and the competition became more and more fierce.
The trafficker leader looked at the lively scene below the stage, and his smile became even brighter. He knew that this opening was very successful, and the following auctions would definitely be even more popular.
As the price continued to rise, the price of this species soon exceeded 800 taels of silver. At this time, the number of bidders began to decrease, and the atmosphere became tense. In the end, this species was bought by a woman who looked like a wealthy businessman for 950 taels of silver.
The trafficker leader smiled with satisfaction, and then said: "Next, we will launch the second lot..." With his gesture, another bound person was brought to the auction table. Compared with the previous one, this person was younger, more handsome, and had a more outstanding temperament.
"The starting price for this race is 800 taels of silver, and each bid must be no less than 20 taels." The trafficker leader called out the price again. The audience in the audience immediately became excited, and they all discussed the value of this auction item. Soon, bids came one after another, and the price rose rapidly.
In the fierce competition, the price soared to 1,200 taels of silver. At this time, most people had given up bidding, and only a few powerful buyers were still insisting. Although they liked this race very much, there was no need to buy it. Now it was only the second batch, and there would be more later, and the later ones would definitely be more perfect. In the end, this young and handsome race was bought at a high price of 1,500 taels of silver.
The auction continued, one after another, people were pushed onto the auction platform, and the prices kept reaching new highs. The whole scene was lively and full of greed and desire. But behind the scenes, the people being auctioned could only helplessly bear the fate, their eyes full of despair and helplessness.
When it came to the second to last person, this person had fair skin, red lips and white teeth, and a melancholy temperament in his bones, which made people feel pity for him. The leader of the human traffickers looked at the reactions of the people in the audience with pride, and he was sure that this "stuff" would be sold at an astonishingly high price.
"Everyone, the starting price of this top-quality item is 5,000 taels of silver, and each bid must not be less than 100 taels." As soon as the trafficker leader finished speaking, there was an uproar in the audience. Some people began to whisper and discuss the value of this race. Soon, a wealthy lady raised the sign in her hand and shouted in a delicate voice: "Six thousand taels." Her bid immediately triggered a response from others. A woman in a gorgeous brocade robe followed and shouted: "Seven thousand taels" The price continued to rise, and the competition became more and more fierce. The melancholy temperament of this race seemed to have a unique magic, which made the buyers in the audience fall into a frenzy of competition.
The trafficker leader watched the price go up, and his smile grew brighter. He was secretly happy, knowing that he had made the right bet again. As the bids continued to rise, some buyers with weaker strength gradually withdrew from the competition, leaving only a few wealthy and determined people who were still holding on.
"Eight thousand taels" a stern-looking female general shouted, her eyes revealing determination and dominance. Another noblewoman was not to be outdone and immediately responded, "Ten thousand taels" The price was far beyond any race in the previous auction, and the atmosphere at the scene was extremely tense.
In the fierce competition, the price was finally settled at 12,000 taels of silver. The noble woman bought this person at an astonishingly high price. The trafficker leader was so excited that his face turned red. He seemed to have seen countless wealth beckoning to him.
"Next, it's time for the show's finale. There's no doubt that this is the most perfect human being I've ever encountered in my career. They're like gods descended from heaven, and they're truly astonishing." The human trafficker leader raised his voice excitedly, his eyes flashing with a mixture of greed and pride.
As the host finished speaking, Roth was slowly pushed onto the auction platform by two guards. His figure was as straight as a pine tree, his face was handsome, and every line seemed to be carefully carved. His eyes revealed a kind of determination and unyielding, as hard as steel. This unique temperament made him stand out among the many slaves.
Lot was like a fallen immortal from heaven, untainted by the mundane world. Even though he was wearing ragged linen clothes, it could not conceal his brilliance. His hair was a little messy and his face was covered with dust, but this did not affect his outstanding temperament and handsome face. His presence made people feel a kind of beauty that transcended the mundane world.
The audience gasped the moment they saw Roth. Their eyes showed a complex mixture of amazement and greed. Roth's appearance made the whole scene lively, and people were talking about this mysterious and charming man.
The trafficker leader looked at the crowd's reactions with pride, and was even more certain that Roth would get an unprecedented high price. He cleared his throat and said loudly, "The starting price for this race is 30,000 taels of silver, and each bid must not be less than 1,000 taels." When this price was announced, the whole audience was shocked. Everyone began to whisper and discuss, on the one hand marveling at Roth's amazing price, and on the other hand thinking in their hearts whether to participate in this fierce bidding.
Soon, a wealthy business woman raised a sign and shouted, "35,000 taels." As soon as she finished speaking, another noblewoman responded, "38,000 taels." The price rose rapidly, and the competition became more intense. Roth stood on the stage, his eyes firmly scanning the crowd below, his heart filled with anger and indomitable will. He knew that he had to find a way to break this dilemma and not let these people auction him off as a commodity.
As the price continued to rise, some weaker buyers gradually withdrew from the competition, while the remaining wealthy people were caught in a fierce competition. "Forty-five thousand taels." A dignified female official shouted, her eyes revealing her determination to win. However, the wife of another wealthy businessman did not back down and immediately bid: "Fifty thousand taels."
Just as the price was soaring, suddenly, a cold voice came from the crowd: "One hundred thousand taels." Everyone turned their heads and saw a mysterious woman standing there. She was wearing a white robe, with a beautiful face and a cold and noble temperament. Her bid instantly made the whole audience fall into silence, and everyone was shocked by this amazing price.
The trafficker leader was so excited that he almost jumped up. He didn't expect that Roth could bid so high. However, Roth was full of worries. He didn't know what the purpose of this mysterious woman was, but he knew that he had to find a way to get out of this predicament as soon as possible. At this time, an accident happened...
The price of 100,000 taels was about to be finalized, but a clear and majestic female voice rang out, "500,000 taels!"
