Chapter 781 - I Have My Rules! (1/2)
No one else in the whole room knew what he was talking about. However, they speculated that the people he was contacting were definitely not simple – at least Exquisite Rank!
They really thought too much…
The last break of the auction ended not long after Rui Mengqi left. Outside, the sky was already dark.
“That felt like a long wait, didn’t it? Up next is the last round of today’s auction. I won’t talk much, so let us welcome our first item!”
Qing Han returned to the stage. Unlike the previous rounds, he did not worry about this one at all. Unify Business’ slave auctions had never once failed to sell an ‘item’ even with the worst auctioneer, let alone him who was the former chief auctioneer.
As soon as Qing Han finished speaking, the first slave was brought up: a tall and burly man!
The man was over two meters tall. His bulging, granite-like muscles were barely covered under the shabby clothes on his body. His eyes sharply scanned all the auction guests as if wanting to kill them all.
“Our first item is a Grandmaster Rank martial artist who was once the general of a dukedom. After the collapse of said dukedom, he volunteered to sell himself as a slave in order to protect his princess. However, as you can see, ‘volunteered’ is probably misjudging the situation, but I believe that you all have a way to resolve this. Starting price: one million amethyst coins!”
By the end of the introduction, some people had already placed their hands on the bid buttons.
A Grandmaster Rank martial artist who could compare with an Exquisite Rank puppet master would make a great bodyguard. Even if he fell short to an Exquisite Rank puppet master, bullying a Grandmaster Rank puppet master was not a problem.
Before long, the price was raised to eight million and was still rising steadily. Bai Xiaofei gave a long sigh.
“Young Master, why the sigh?” Qing Ya asked in confusion. As he would be her future boss, it was necessary that she had a deep understanding of him.
“A mighty Grandmaster Rank martial artist who used his whole life to cultivate to this level, but is now a commodity on an auction stage for such a low price. Isn’t it absurd?” Bai Xiaofei shook his head. He found it hard to adapt to the slave auction.
“The law of the jungle and the survival of the fittest are the unchanging laws of this continent.” Qing Ya looked at Bai Xiaofei, obviously ready to engage in a debate.
“This is the world of mankind, not beasts. There is nothing wrong with the law of the jungle, but what is the reason for this kind of meaningless killing and abuse?” Bai Xiaofei asked back.
However, his question did not stump her.
“To stop this situation, the continent has to be unified under one legal system, or else this will only continue!” Qing Ya solemnly pointed out the only way to Bai Xiaofei. Unfortunately, this way was a bit too far out of reach.
“Believe me, even without that, things that should not exist like these will still disappear slowly.” Bai Xiaofei chuckled and stopped the argument there as his focus returned to the auction.
