Surviving As The Villainess
Chapter 144 - The Identity of the Leader Cerberus

The auction went well. Until at one point, rare items began to be often issued.

"That's..."

Guests started whispering to each other when they saw a piece of jewelry glistening under the lights.

"Mermaid's Tears?!"

"That's really Mermaid's Tears?!"

"I don't believe this."

Especially the female guests. None of them knew Mermaid's Tears.

A piece of jewelry that is so famous all over the world and is said to be the most expensive piece of jewelry because of its intricate manufacturing techniques. Not only that, the jewel attached in the jewelry was the first light blue that was said to be the rarest in the world.

Every woman wants such jewelry and is no exception. What else if they are people who have a lot of money.

Their thinking is the same, Mermaid's Tears should be where they can get.

"Mermaid's Tears. The most expensive jewelry in the world and is said to be the hardest to get. Auction starts from $150.000!"

In a voice full of enthusiasm, the MCs opened up with quite fantastic numbers.

"Number 44, $151.000!"

"That's there, number 1, $152,000!"

"Number 52, $153.000!"

"$154.000! $155.000! Mr Croco, $200,000!"

"Mrs Lily, $205,000!"

"Number 77, Mrs Rose, $210,000!"

The guests started to get boisterous as the numbers grew. No one seems to want to budge on this one thing.

"Mr Croco, $250,000!"

The MC waited for a few seconds to see if anyone wanted to bid again.

"$250,000 going once,"

"$250,000 going twice,"

"$250,000 sold!"

Some guests applauded when Mermaid's Tears was successfully bargained for a high price.

"Mr Croco, it looks like your wife will be very happy to get this gift." MC praised.

The goods are then removed one by one and the auction runs smoothly under control.

Even Endless Prayer paintings have sold for over $100,000, a pretty fantastic number.

On the other hand, Liyuna was seen sitting in a corner inside the cell. He did not know what to do because right now, there was nothing he could do but wait.

At first Liyuna tried to get the same prisoners to talk, but her efforts were in vain. Many of them come from abroad.

Liyuna did not know their language. In addition, it was also impossible to invite the wounded to escape.

Even so, Liyuna still tried to think positively. He tried to put aside the torn skin of his hand to bleed.

"Aren't you Liyuna?"

The voice of someone rippled his daydream. He turned to the source of the voice and found a female figure that was much older a few years from him.

"Who?"

Liyuna did not recognize the woman. But seeing how he could speak the same language as her, it was likely that she was also a citizen of Zen.

"Sorry to introduce myself too late, I'm Nava. You're Liyuna, the rightful heir to the Castris family, right?"

Nava, a very foreign name for Liyuna.

"You know me?"

"I think all Zen people know you."

That's right, Liyuna didn't deny the fact that everyone knew her.

"How did you get here?" Ask Nava.

"Oh, that..." Liyuna looked a little doubtful. But in the end, I decided to be honest.

"I was kidnapped, and brought here."

Even so, all of this is still within estimates. From the beginning Cerberus was the Castris family.

The Ravenray family was just being unlucky to be dragged into trouble.

"You yourself how did you get caught?"

Upon seeing that there were Zen citizens besides her, Liyuna could not help but ask. He wanted to gather as much information as he could possibly use to survive.

"Hm... I was drunk and accidentally made someone angry. Then he dragged me here and brought me here."

Of course it's just a story. There was no reason for Nava to tell Liyuna what had really happened. But Liyuna also will not know the facts about his lies.

Liyuna felt sorry for Nava. It turned out that he was here only because he had accidentally provoked a powerful person.

"What exactly is this place?"

"Seeing that there are many different types of humans captured here, the chances are only one."

Nava looked into Liyuna's eyes with great seriousness.

"Human trafficking!!" Both spoke at the same time.

Yeah, there's no other explanation for this. In the depths of her heart, Liyuna understood the reason why there were such a large number of people being held in this cell. What else if it wasn't that. 

Although she already had a premonition, Liyuna felt reluctant to say it blatantly.

The one who brought him here was someone who introduced himself as his Uncle. He did not want to believe this bad thing. Liyuna wanted to believe that her Uncle did not do such a thing.

But no matter how hard Liyuna tried to deny, in reality her Uncle was indeed not a good person.

Some time he showed me a lot of rare things. All of these items are impossible to get if not dirty.

Liyuna knew that. Liyuna was not a person who knew nothing. He is a man who has lived twice. It's strange if he doesn't understand anything.

"Is there nothing we can do to escape?" Liyuna asked in a soft voice.

"none. Do you know where we are right now?"

"Ocean."

"Right, since we're in the ocean, it's impossible to escape. Even if you can swim, it won't guarantee your safety."

Liyuna bit her lower lip. What Nava said is true. However Liyuna did not want to end up being sold to someone else.

Liyuna did not know what would happen if she was sold. Bad things flashed through his mind, making, Liyuna even more determined to save herself.

"But take it easy, the leader can definitely save us."

"Leader?"

Nava smiled slightly. He walked up to Liyuna and whispered softly in her ear.

"This ship is called the Red Diamond. From the beginning, my goal here was to capture Chief Cerberus."

Liyuna's eyes were perfectly rounded when she heard what Nava said.

With just that sentence alone, Liyuna could tell that the reason for Nava's capture just now was a lie.

But not only that surprised him, but the fact that Chief Cerberus was here.

Chief Cerberus... Does that mean the leader?

Liyuna had long been curious about Cerberus. He knew that they were the ones who made the Ravenray family fall like it is now. They're the reason Allen's father and mother died.

There was no way that Liyuna was not curious about them. What else happened to Aunt Almera first, the name Castris was mentioned.

"Is that guy really here?" Ask Liyuna curiously.

"Of course, this place belongs to him."

"Is it possible to catch him?"

"Why is it impossible? Although it is impossible to arrest him at this time, but this place will be a great proof of his crime."

If that were true, would it be possible that Leader Cerberus would soon be revealed?

"Do you know his identity?"

"We already know."

"Who is he?"

"Harry."
