The Moon In Darkness
Ch.42 Green Auction
With the veiled woman entering the room and choosing the front seat, several servants came and gave them a paper to write down the names and numbers they got from the numberboard.
"well, Mr. white fox number 66 and Mrs red veil number 13, enjoy our event" said one of the waiters as he walked away.
"finally I can rest my body" the woman complained by hitting her on the back.
"don't say that with a woman's body, it's taboo you know. "
"essentially, today's child doesn't know manners, can't you just be polite with me?"
"dreams." An then confirmed his mask and leaned his body onto the chair.
It had been 10 minutes since the two of them had walked into the room, but the auction had still not begun. In a quiet moment without a sound, the veiled woman who was the marrionet of an old man whispered softly, "i've thought about the deal."
"let's add some rules, I'll consider you comparable, but you'll have to contribute fully to every auction I do. Our opinion is for 50:50." continued the woman plays her hair.
"you forgot if I didn't want to share the results?" sindir An's.
"come on, I'm a trader, my money instinct is strong! won't you share a little with me?"
"20 : 80"
"hey! aren't you being too greedy? 35:65." The woman replied in surprise.
"10:90, if you bid again then I'm out."
"you." the woman grasped tightly the handle of the chair that was about to crack, she took a rough breath and massaged her head, "good well, 10:90. Why would I do this anyway? what is the benefit of trying. "groaning.
money problems settle.' Inner An satisfied.
An excitedly smiled, he raised one leg up on the other and turned to the woman next to him, "what about the slave?"
The woman flinched, she looked away as if she had not heard the question.
"... You remember, don't you? the fourth condition is mandatory if you want to cooperate with me." said An while staring cynically at the veiled woman.
"i remember shit! but I can't easily end the contract with that guy!" The woman scratched her head violently, she clucked in annoyance and muttered, "base of a noble child."
"who?"
"huh.. w-what? what did I say, huh? ahaha" the woman's pretext was stiff, as she continued to be stared at with a sharp gaze she finally told the person behind the slavery.
"Lee Jiang, that fox of the Jiang family! he's the chairman." he continued resigned.
"how do you know?"
"how what? of course because of that contract! very unfavorable agreement for customers!"
"you know it's not profitable but why is it still being done?"
"ah.. You stabbed my heart, you're a brash kid. Don't you know how tempting the offer was at the beginning of the contract?!"
"let's just say you're interested in the money."
Jiang. isn't that one of the nuclear family?' batin An, even though he still gets a little information, he remains happy because it will be the beginning of pleasure.
After they finished speaking, the guests had filled all the empty seats and were ready for his auction, the lights instantly turning off leaving a large lamp in the middle of the stage wide open.
"Hello ladies and gentlemen! welcome to our simple show! "the auction began, the host who called himself Goblin also chanted beautiful words before presenting his auction goods.
There was nothing interesting in the first ten items, only jewelry, silk cloth, as well as other things that were of no value. But foolishly, countless noble ladies offered a price for it.
"well, the 11th item tonight is a Hogweed Flower that only grows in the North! starting at 100 dang!" the burning goblin screams.
Everyone whispered when they saw the flower in front of the stage,
"why did they sell that useless thing?"
"what the hell is this? why sell crops that can be picked in the North directly? it is also not a rare plant. Is it a fox?" the veiled woman, he was surprised not to play when An bid the flower at a good price.
"1000 dang." said An casually, Goblin and the other guests were surprised by him, they thought that he had gone mad.
"you're crazy?! you're gonna throw 1000 dang just for roadside grass!" the veiled woman could not believe it.
"wa-wah. are you sure, sir number 66?" ask Goblin to make sure.
"yes, didn't you hear what I said?"
"ah. well, Hogweed Flower with the first price of 1000 dang! does anyone want to bid back?!" The Goblin heats the guests, which is unfortunate because from the beginning they were not interested in the flower.
Because no one made an offer, the flower finally fell into the hands of An with a single offer.
"can you explain to me why you bought it?" ask the veiled woman, not thinking.
"you won't understand." An said coldly, the woman only shook her head at what An had done.
Hogweed by name alone I already know him, a poison plant that helped me a lot in my previous life.' Inner An.
Plants that can give heat, numbness, sun-hate and blindness, it may be able to help me with my physical condition now.' An nodded his head proudly.
The auction continued, although many things were quite good but no one made An want it.
"i thought you'd buy if a lot of people were bidding on that thing." sneered the woman.
"you don't think I can tell which is good and which is not?"
"well.you're right, somehow the auction this time is sad. So next time just stop by my place." said the woman confidently, "here also there are loh, no need far to Chengse city!" continued.
An only glanced at the woman beside him at a glance and did not reply at all.
After all the goods were almost sold out, the Goblin excitedly said something that once again horrendous to the guests, "all! do you know why we're preparing a little something today? because we're going to bring you something that's the end of this as the main topic!"
All the guests who had initially started to get tired, now re-smoulder when they knew the 'something' mentioned by the Goblin.
The veiled woman glanced at An whose face was undetectable at all, About what would she do huh?' the woman was impatient.
Shortly before bringing the goods out, the Goblin looked annoyed and asked the audience for permission to go behind for a while.
Sensing something strange, she fumbled and removed the sapphire earrings in her ear, before long, the girl chuckled when she heard what the Goblin said backstage.
"what?! how could they retreat that special item! they know it's the main day, right?!" the Goblin snapped at a man who looked disheveled.
"sorry sir, our side was just told tonight, they said dope for the goods are exhausted and can not be purchased.we-" the man was hit to bounce far away hit the wall, he said, he trembled and could only hold the blood pouring out of his nose.
"tell them to bring me that special item immediately! you useless human!" the Goblin said, showing an extremely dense aura of hatred.
