Chapter 224 Searching for demons 4 (1/2)
Mars and Yel was led into the venue by a servant. The venue was a big stage with rows of seats in front of it, but that was not where Mars and Yel was going. They were lead up some stairs and was then seated box that was elevated above the regular seats. There were five of these boxes and Mars took note of them from inside his own box as he sat in a comfy couch with Yel sitting besides him.
'Those are most likely going to be my main competition...'
Mars leaned back on the couch and wrapped an arm around Yel's waist pulling her a little closer as he waited for the auction to start...
Meanwhile in the box next to Mars sat a general, he had a mighty imposing figure and a body like a younger man, he sat on the couch and looked down onto the empty stage for sometime then he called out.
”Number 17.”
A figure stepped forwards from the back of the box, it was a young woman with yellow eyes and yellow hair that was cut to shoulder length and was dressed in a military uniform. She had a slave collar around her neck and wore a blank expression on her face as she answered.
”Yes master?”
”Control your blood lust a little better, I can still feel it from here.”
The young woman, number 17 gave a short bow as she answered.
”Understood master.”
”Remember this is a civil event, you are just here as insurance. Under no circumstances may you attack with lethal force.”
”Yes master.”
”Good, now return to your post.”
”Understood master.”
Soon a figure emerged on stage, it was Vanessa again, this caused Mars to give a slight frown, as she said the welcome to the entire venue Yel asked Mars that was still frowning.
”Master do you know that woman?”
”Yeah... We used to be friends if you can believe it.”
”Used to be? What happened?”
”Well we represented two different sides in a war... From there I slaughtered some of her soldiers during a pacetalk, well they were planning to attack me so I was justified, she just didn't see it that way.”
”I see, so she's what Chloe would call a 'basic bitch'?”
Mars facepalmed at Yel's innocent remark.
”What? master was I wrong?”
”No just please don't say that to anyone's face.”
”Okay master.”
Just as Mars and Yel was finished talking Vanessa also seemed to be done with introducing the event and finished off her grand speech with:
”--- And so without further ado, let the action begin!”
As soon as Vanessa was done speaking the venue erupted in applause, Mars himself gave a few claps as well. Soon the first lot was brought onto the stage, it was a small piece of dull red metal, just as most of the guests were wondering what it was Vanessa started explaining.
”Those that have seen it before know what it is, but to those that have never seen it before this is adamantite in its purest form and exactly 300 grams of it! Now the bidding starts at 500.000 cel.”
Mars was a little disappointed with the first lot as he already had a broadsword made of adamantite and so of course he didn't bid on it, and soon the lot went to a lucky person in one of the five boxes for a grand price of 1.3 million cel. Next were various pieces of art and such, none of which interested Mars but then in the middle of the auction it finally happened, a cage of demons was rolled onto the stage. There were about 15 in the cage and one of them was Mars very familiar with and stood up from his couch as he struggled with controlling his anger.
'Old demon!'
Oblivious to Mars' anger Vanessa introduced the lot.
”This is one of the main lots from the recent conquest of the wasteland, 15 battle hardened demons that fought to the last when our armies invaded the capital of demons! These may just look like old demons but their individual fighting force is amazing perfect for either a bodyguard or private soldier! now the bidding starts on 1.5 million cel!”
Mars was about to call out when a voice was heard from the box besides his.
”3 million cel!”
Mars looked over and saw a general in military clothes and gave a snort as he called out.
”5 million cel!”
The entire venue gasped and the general looked over at Mars before he called out.
”5.5 million cel!”
Mars gave a disdainful look at the general before he called out.
