Surviving As The Villainess
Chapter 143 - Auction Goods

Bruk—

Liyuna's body was violently thrown into a cell.

He lowered his head to calm his heartbeat that continued to beat violently.

Slowly but surely, his breathing began to reorganize.

"Please calm down and obey!"

The sound of a cell returning in the key goes into his eardrum. Liyuna looked at Harry who was starting to move away with the tip of her eye.

This is where he is now, in a cell filled with strangers he doesn't know.

Liyuna tried to stare at the people inside the cell one by one.

There was a small child, a teenager, an adult man, and also a woman. Everything looks like someone who has lost the will to live.

Liyuna could also see the scars and wounds on their bodies. It doesn't matter if it's children or adults.

Seeing the circumstances of these people, Liyuna realized a reality that was so shocking.

Harrys... Conducting human trafficking.

Back to the auction hall. A man wearing a white tuxedo stood on stage.

He turned on the mic in front of him and started greeting the guests.

"Good night, dear guests. The auction will begin in a moment. Hopefully, the honored guests are ready."

From one of the guest benches, a man is seen staring intently at the MC who will open the event.

He was a man with fingers not intact before.

The lights were suddenly turned off, the entire room was immersed in darkness. Suddenly, a light shone on the stage where the MC was standing.

It was the only light that illuminated this dark room.

The invited guests who were already impatient to see the auction items, sat on their seats excitedly.

Looking at the catalogue provided, the night auction there was an awful lot of rare items.

"Have you seen the catalogue we gave you?" Ask the MC, in his hand there is a catalog.

As he opened the catalogue, the MC spoke, "Maybe many of the honored guests have seen it. This auction tonight is different from before. There are so many rare items that are hard to find."

The guests nodded softly at the MC's words as a sign of agreement. Indeed, tonight's auction is different than usual.

"On this incredible ship, the Red Diamond. We brought a national treasure that would definitely interest the Master and Madam."

The guests who heard that started to stir up a little. They whispered to each other with other guests, trying to second-guess what kind of National treasure they had.

"And of course, don't forget about the most special items we'll put out at the end of the show."

Everyone who was interested was silent. There was no one who was not interested in the last item in the auction.

Usually, the last item issued was such a special item and there was only one in the world.

If you look at the catalog, the national treasure previously mentioned is in the book. In addition to the last item, everything is in the catalog.

This indicates that the last item is of higher value than the national treasure.

The guests began to smile thinking about how special the item was.

"Is this the first time you've participated in the auction?"

"No, this is the third time."

"I, Lea." The woman introduced herself.

Of course, it was not his real name but a pseudonym that he always used when following the activities of buying and selling on the black market.

"Biern." Answer the man briefly.

Lea smiled when she knew that the man beside her was patiently serving her.

She had already realized that the man beside her had a good body.

In addition, Lea was also curious about the man's fingers that seemed to be missing.

As someone who really likes stressful things, Lea feels challenged. He believed that the man beside him was not a random man.

'It's not bad to make it my toy.'

"Is there anything that interests you?" Leah tried to ask back.

If there was any he intended to get it and give it to Biern. Who knows, if he did this Biern would spend the night with him once.

"Nothing interesting in the catalog. Maybe I'll wait until the last thing is taken out."

"Ah, your taste is quite high apparently."

Seeing how Biern was completely uninterested in the items in the catalog made Lea even more interested.

Although Biern was silent and did not respond, Lea knew from her movements that Biern was currently bored.

If the rare item in the catalog cannot move Biern, it means to him it is just a piece of trash.

Looks like Lea has found such a big catch.

"Once again, good evening dear guests. With this, I officially open the auction tonight."

MC's voice again grabbed the attention of the guests. Lea, who had been trying to get close to Biern, also shifted her focus.

"Well, then, first thing."

A formally dressed woman pushed a trolley covered in white cloth. It stopped right in the middle of the stage.

Sreeek—

The MC pulls a white covering, revealing a sculptured sculpture no more than 25 inches in size. The statue is protected by a glass box that looks very sturdy.

"Goddess of Dream, the work of a famous sculptor of the 17th century. Like the information we've listed in the catalog, this statue we took directly from Greece."

The guests who were interested in the statue, grasped their boards tightly.

"Our prices start from $10,000."

A guest held up his board as a sign that he wanted it.

"Number 20, $10,050."

Others also raised their boards.

"Thank you, Mr. Rabbit, $110,000."

"Mrs number 31, $110,050."

"Number 11, $120,000."

The MCs were waiting for someone else to lift their boards, but it seemed that no one was interested anymore.

"$120,000 going once,"

"$120,000 going twice,"

Still no movement.

"$120,000 sold."

Geck!

The hammer is tapped as a sign that the item has been sold.

Items issued in an auction are usually sequential from the most ordinary to the rarest.

The price of $1200 it includes cheap price for opening. Therefore, usually guests who are eyeing rare items will wait until the items they want come out.

Sometimes, there are also those who use sneaky tricks so that opponents spend money at the beginning of the auction. That way, the person can get the item he is looking for easily.

But not everyone is easy to deceive because everyone who attends this auction are people who have power.

Which means, to maintain their position, they have high intelligence capabilities so it is not easy to be deceived.

The auction continued as it should. One by one, the goods are removed and sold.

Biern who had been silent since, stared bored at the stuff. This is not what he was looking for.

The only reason why Biern was here was the rumor of an extraordinary item going to auction. He heard from someone that there is a good thing that can make anyone who has it can get anything.

An impossible thing exists. But Biern is interested in that. In Zen, there was only one item that could make him get whatever he wanted.

The look in his eyes started to darken, if his thinking was right then he should get the item. No matter how high the price.
