CHAPTER 27

LISANDRO MANOBAN (PETER) POV

[The Auction]

Little by little, the guests began to fill the dimly lit Auction room. After ordering my first drink, I didn't call the waitress again, but she came up to me on her initiative several times to ask if I needed anything else. Of course, she did it just to flirt with me, but I didn't give in to her, just politely declined. Like I said earlier, I don't want someone to be in a bad mood and cause an argument later tonight.

After all the seats had been filled, the spotlight in front of the stage lit up to highlight Valdo Bykov, who was standing in the middle of it while giving a speech and opening the event. He informed that there would be a dozen women today and would definitely not disappoint the clients. That's what Valdo Bykov claims. Then without further ado, he opened the program and went down to sit in his seat, in the front beside the stage.

The first woman appeared from behind the slightly opened curtains accompanied by a woman's voice that filled the entire room, giving information about the first girl. The poor girl looked scared and walked to the center of the stage awkwardly and then stood there. She glanced around the room in confusion. The blonde-haired girl was 20 years old. She is from France. Her skin was white, smooth, and her nose was very sharp. This girl is very beautiful.

From the area to the left of the stage, someone lifted the small circular sign that had been provided on each of our tables to make an offer. The standard increase is 2,500 Euros with the opening price being 50,000 Euros.

"52,500," the MC's voice echoed as soon as the man raised the board.

"52,500, first," the MC's voice starts the counts after a while.

"55,000," the MC stated as the man in the front row of the right side raised his board.

"55,000, first,"

"55,000, second,"

"55,000, third. And sold to number 6," the MC announced the number listed on our respective boards. My number is 23, and I don't hold it at all. I'm still observing and waiting.

The beginning of this auction went very slowly. With only two times bid increase as this is the first lady. They must be waiting for another woman who is must be more special. Generally like that. The best is left for last.

The girl who didn't even wear a piece of cloth left the stage after being pulled by one of Valdo's men. I glanced briefly at Valdo and his brows furrowed. It seems that he is not satisfied with this initial price deal. He must have been expecting a hot auction where bidders were vying to raise their bid prices to win the auction.

But there are still 11 other girls. If from one girl he earns 55,000 Euros, multiply by 12. In just a few hours, he earns 660,000 Euros. That is if the auction doesn't warm up. If the auction warms up, it will be more than that.

As happened to the second woman. The 19-year-old girl attracted quite a few bidders. She is from Poland. With her brown hair and sexy body, she sold for 70,000 Euros. A fight between 4 bidders. She is an interesting girl. Especially her eyes. Her eyes are gray, like my real eyes, which are currently covered by black contact lenses to cover the difference in the color of my right and left eyes. I can't show my uniqueness amid the enemy. It will only make it easier for them to remember me.
