"Sold for 610 gold," the auctioneer loudly declared.
Madam Selner smiled at Stanley and said, "Their first time with my new escort will be on the house, Lady's Pleasure looks forward to their visit," she said with a happy smile.
The three escorts pretended to be oblivious to Stanley's anger and happily thanked madam Selner for the opportunity.

[Threat averted; host can feel free to speak your mind]
As the system alerted him Lirian could hear Stanley speaking to Madam Selner, "The elf will be mine no matter what you do, I've come here to obtain the elf at my father's command," he said with a smug smile.
It was madam Selner's turn to frown, if Stanley had the direct order of Lord Rupid Kurt, then he'd have full access to the estate's coffers as well as the reserve coffers, with that being the case she'd never be able to beat him.
It was then that they all heard a ridiculing laugh, and as they followed the voice everyone's gaze fell on Lirian who was sitting comfortably with his legs spread out in the cage as he laughed at the lot of them.
"What a bunch of dumbasses," Lirian mocked them with a happy smile.
"What did you say?" Stanley asked in a threatening tone as he turned around, for some reason he felt like Lirian's words were being directed at him specifically.
"yawn," Lirian covered his mouth to stifle a yawn, he faced Stanley and put on a confused look, "I would have thought that one such as yourself would have heard and understood me clearly,"
"But I guess since you're a dumbass it makes sense," Lirian said with a look of sincere understanding.
"You're looking to die boy," Stanley said coldly.
"No, no, unlike you I'm very smart," Lirian said with a light smile, "I wanted to call all of you dumbasses for a long time now but I waited until I was sold," Lirian said with a refreshing smile.
"Please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but as of a couple seconds ago I was officially bought by that respectable lady," Lirian said pointing to Madam Selner.
"And she serve's Lady Izlandi, who is the daughter of the Lord of house Kurt, which makes me the private property of Lady Izlandi worth 610 gold coins,"
"And if I understood your conversation correctly then you are Lady Izlandi's brother, which makes any attack on me an attack on your sister,"
"And if people start saying that you attacked your sister…" Lirian paused for dramatic effect as he let the knowledge sink in and let Stanley think of the consequences his reputation would face for attacking his sister whether directly or indirectly.
"Hence why I have aptly named you dumbass of dumbasses," Lirian added with a mocking bow to Stanley, as Stanley looked at him as if he had been god smacked.
In fact it wasn't just Stanley who was looking at him with stunned silence, everyone was openly gapping at him in disbelief, not only was he a mere slave speaking to a lord disrespectfully, he was using the law and political implications to back himself up.
"You little shit!" Stanley roared and leapt forward delivering a heavy kick to the cage.
Lirian grabbed onto the bars as the entire cage bent inwards and went tumbling across the stage and crashed against a wall.
"tsk, tsk, tsk," Lirian clicked his tongue, "A dumbasses solution to all problems is to use their fists, and you even managed to royally fuck that up," Lirian commented from inside the cage and Stanley was completely stunned when he saw Lirian completely fine.
"The correct solution for a servant insulting you is to take it up with the servants master, then the master will deliver a suitable punishment to their property," Lirian said in a matter of fact tone.
"To think that even a lord doesn't know the law, your father must be so disappointed," Lirian said shaking his head like he was disappointed.
"You really don't know what is good for you," Stanley said through gritted teeth and a thin layer of yellow light started to surround his body.
'Battle aura!' Lirian noted as he felt the energy ripples, that was the main ability of all body cultivators, but it took time to master, most people would only start to use it in the late stages of the second grade, but from the energy Lirian could feel, Stanley was only at the fifth stage, which meant that he had some talent as a body cultivator.
Just before Stanley charged at Lirian madam Selner appeared in front of Lirian's cage, "What he said is correct Lord Stanley, if you have a problem with his conduct then you may take it up with his master," she said firmly and just as quickly as she finished speaking she turned to Lirian inside the cage.
A powerful punch went flying towards Lirian, Lirian felt it coming almost as soon as madam Selner arrived, he could have easily dodged the punch, but he allowed it to land squarely against his gut.
Madam Selner had the power of a seventh stage novice, and Lirian could tell that she held back in the punch to avoid killing him after all she had just paid a large amount for him, what would be the point of killing him.
"In the future you will learn to speak only when spoken to," Madam Selner said coldly.
Lirian didn't bother responding as he rubbed his aching body, Lirian might have developed techniques and used skill to battle against stronger opponents, but his body wasn't at the level where he could freely take hits from such people.
"Lord Stanley I apologise for this servant's behaviour, I will be certain to have him properly trained and disciplined," she said bowing respectfully.
"Brat!" Stanley yelled, "I will make your life a living hell for what you did today," he snarled coldly.
Stanley then turned to the auctioneer, "Bring out the elf, I've waited long enough," he said in an irritated tone.
"Um, uh, y-y-yesss," the auctioneer stuttered, and gulped nervously.
The moment Stanley turned away she ran back onto the stage and went running into the side where the items were usually brought in from.
"What's going on?" a noble asked in confusion when he noticed that the girl was missing.
One by one more and more people noticed and found it odd, the auctioneer was never supposed to leave the room.
They waited for a couple minutes but even then the auctioneer didn't return.
"What going on behind there?" some of the nobles started shouting angrily, but no matter how much they shouted no one came forward.
A noble quickly climbed onto the stage and went running into the back, only to come running back a moment later, "It's empty," he muttered.
"The entire place is empty there isn't a single person or item inside," he muttered like he was still having a hard time grasping what was happening.
"What?" half the people started to shout in surprise.
All the items they had bidden for were all supposed to be in the back for them to pick up, when they brought the money.
It was then that they heard Lirian chuckling on the side while still inside his bent out of shape cage.
"What do you know?" Madam Selner asked.
"hahaha," Lirian chuckled, "I know that all of you are dumbasses," he repeated once again, earning him many scowls.
"The head curator isn't sick," Lirian said with an amused grin, "He took all the gifts you presented him when you arrived and ran away, long before the auction even started,"
"As for the nonsense about an elf, that was just one big lie to get you all to dish out extravagant gifts," Lirian laughed wildly as he lied, after understanding a bit more about why male elves were so valuable, he felt a little sorry for the elf and decided to try covering his tracks as a small favour.
It wasn't like it would cost him anything, so he didn't mind doing it.
"From the moment the auction started they've been carefully clearing out everything and none of you even noticed a thing,"
"And I mean did none of you find it odd that a girl who evidently never hosted an auction in her life, was handling what could have been the most important auction to ever be held in this place,"
"And yet you all frown when I call you dumbasses," Lirian laughed so hard that his entire body was shaking and this time no one could say anything.
As much as they hated to admit it all of them had been played for fools.
Lirian secretly praised the people that ran the auction, since they knew that just by wasting the nobles time they would end on their bad side they committed by going all the way in offending them thoroughly.
Not only did they use the auction to buy time for them to pack up, but they took all the items they auctioned back, and they didn't even leave a note of apology.
Lirian especially admired the girl who hosted the auction not only did she do a great job despite being clueless but the moment she realised she was in trouble, she ran away without any hesitation.
But most of all Lirian was proud of himself, he was the one who made all this possible, by letting two very important prisoners escape, but unfortunately his main goal was averted, and he somehow ended up as the only thing sold.
