285 Anemoi and Animals

Rio paid close attention to the things lined up on the stage one by one, as a beautiful girl came forward and they all became a backdrop for her. Dressed in a tight red gown which slit near her thighs, giving her a seductive look and charming aura.

Just a glance at her pretty face and the way she smiled and twisted her body with her every move was enough to charm those who sat near the stage.

Their eyes were glued to that girl, probably undressing her with their luscious thoughts and imagining scenes of that hot figure in their hands.

Noticing the burning gaze on her, the lady on the stage didn't frown, or feel discomforted , but had a proud smile on her face. After all, the day her charm ended, will be the day she'd be kicked out of these facilities, who're paying her in millions now.

Same was the case with waiters and servers walking around the guests, the reason to hire these pretty faces was just because they can fool some idiots into spending more money.

"Ladies and gentlemen, esteemed guests and all the visitors from far away places, welcome to the annual auction event organized by the Nishkal family and our Golden Temple."

"I won't waste much of your time explaining the rules that everybody already knows. But to those who're coming here for their first experience, I hope you will all maintain this peaceful order." The lady in red said and waved her hand, as a golden parchment floated in the air and clear lines of words formed over it in perfect handwriting - explaining some basic rules to follow and manner of bidding. What was allowed and what was not.

There weren't any exaggerated rules, simple things like every item sold would have a similar time frame for the bidders to think and start bidding. And the item would either be sold to the highest bidder, when no one else is willing to outbid them or when the timer runs out.

So if they want to buy something they better not waste time and lose their pockets fast or someone else might snatch it.

There shall be no fighting, stealing or any double dealing of sold items inside the auction venue. Outside of it, well that just depends on your own capabilities.

To make it simple and efficient, only money or simple currencies were the mode of bidding. No return treasures or favors would count as a bid. Pressuring others using prestige or reputation wasn't allowed either.

If you don't pay the money you bid or boasted about, then you will be sacrificed to the gods who guard this venue as an offering. And your dues will be taken from your friends, family, relatives or anyone close to you , by any means necessary.

After showing everyone these rules, the lady took a glance at the crowd of newbies who were especially afraid of the final rule. That was too cruel, right.

After all, the gods guarding this auction were the same ones who pulled the Nishkal family out of the gutters and made them one of the richest elite families on these islands.

There are rumors that to maintain their favor, the Nishkal family always made sure that the rivers of blood sprayed on the cathedrals of these gods in the name of sacrificial offerings, is always flowing non-stop.

The lady in red waved her hand and the parchment disappeared and a flowery scent lingered in the entire venue, giving everyone a refreshing feeling.The initial posting of this chapter occurred via Ñøv€l-B!n.

[Anemoi laughs at your pathetic self. Encouraging you to teach this impudent girl a lesson.]

[Anemoi wishes you to man up and deal with your problems like a grown up should.]

Seeing the notifications of his gods on the status, Alfred tried hard to maintain the smile on his face, which was a little hideous and twisted to look at.

'Fucking horses thinking they're something high and mighty. Once I get my father's approval I'll be sure to slaughter everyone who even whispers your name.' Alfred cursed in his heart and calmed himself down.

He glanced at the room opposite him and clenched his fists. Despite the distance and obvious restraints, he could still feel that familiar dark aura lingering inside that room.

'It's all because of him. If not for him, I wouldn't be tied to these idiots in the first place.' Alfred thought with hatred and the more he remembered about his past, the more angry he got.

"10000 coins"

Alfred was in his world, when Leon's words nearby pulled him out. Currently he was bidding on a healing herb that had the properties of calming the mind.

Though not particularly efficient but it was a little rare and so he wanted to buy it for his mother, who was still unconscious with no signs of recovery.

"12000 coins"

"12,000 coins going once, going twice, and sold(hammer falls sounds) to the gentleman in room number 5."

The lady in red said and pointed at Leon's room and waved her hands to uncover the cloth over the next item.

Soon a waiter knocked on the room, holding a tray which had the healing grass placed inside and came inside to finish the process of exchange.

Surprisingly Leon had another hidden storage ring, which he got from the people of Warzy when they attacked him and Seraphina at the Dorsia incident. He killed them and kept their rings to himself.

Leon took the green herb in his hands and checked its condition. After feeling satisfied, that it was perfectly fine and he wasn't cheated of his money, Leon smiled and put it into a leather satchel which worked well for medicinal herbs storage, without damaging their effects.

Alfred who saw his happy and thoughtful expression throughout this process curled his lips in a thoughtful smile and found the way to trick this treat.

'We'll meet soon, Rio. But before that, let's see if this bumpkin can be of any use.' Alfred thought and looked at Leon with a smile.

He moved closer and started chatting with Leon about the academy, the classes, trainings and well obviously his big sister, who's his classmate.
