Bids

His words echoed in the room.

"Who is it?" Kyungsoo hyung asked standing up.

Liu Zhan shuffled in his blazer jacket and pulled out a picture. He handed it over to kyungsoo hyung.

Curiousity took best of them and they crowded near him to see who is that bastard. Since I am still hooked up with IV's I can't move. Noticing my expressions Liu Zhan spoke,

"His name is Andrew Pierce. He is the CEO of Pierce corp. no wonder he could afford all those Elite Assassins."

Pierce corp. I have heard about it before. It is a major company doing all sorts of businesses. We met Pierce once in a fashion event. What was more funny was that we almost signed up with his fashion line.

Kyungsoo hyung shows me the picture and my scowl deepens. He is exactly as we saw him last. He had a stern face and sharp eyes. There were wrinkles around his eyes and mouth. A straight nose and very thin lips.

He still disgusts me.

"Judging by your faces I believe you have met him before?" Inquired Liu Zhan.

"We have in Prague where he offered us to join his fashion line." Informed Suho hyung. I didn't know when but he had returned. I felt myself relax.

"But that bastard did not look like he was such an as***le."

Liu Zhan laughed slightly.
"I agree."

"Why does he want us though?" Xiumin hyung asked him.

"He is a frequent client of the Doom, usually he deals with arms, we didn't know when he developed this strange...taste. So we did some digging."

"And...?"

"And we found that he is a maniac. He likes collecting unique things. And I think he wants you into his collection."

"We are not objects!"

"You can be made into one. Killed and preserved."

Pure horror slithered on our faces. We were shocked to the core and beyond so much that Kai's face has paled and Sehun was shaking. For a good while none of us said a word.

It took him a while to process our reaction and when he did, he hurriedly added,

"Or maybe not. From what we know he wants you alive so he won't kill you or anything he may just want to use you to entertain himself." He laughs awkwardly scratching his head.

Right, that is very assuring. I roll my eyes. He is not making the situation easy.

"It's getting quite difficult to trust you when you don't have all the facts agent. I believe you know this is not a 'maybe' situation anymore."

I quoted the word maybe with my hands. He stared at me offended.
"What do you want to know?"
"I want you to be honest with me."

He shrugged,"ok."

Well that was unexpected. I didn't think it would be this easy to make him speak. I scanned his face to make sure if he is serious or not.

"I don't have the whole day." He grumbled folding his arms. I snapped out of it.

"He is going to sell us as slaves." I stated more than asked. He pursued his lips and nodded.

"He is. Most probably will. Not only that he will let other people to have a share if they pay enough."

That was as honest as he can be with us. Besides I had expected it. Now that it's out in open we at least are clear about it all.

"Now what? What's going to happen to us?" Kai asked in fear and hope.

"Nothing will happen to any of you. We are changing our tactics."

"We will attack instead of defence. We are sick of his games."

Said Annie, entering the room. Her eyes landing on me first and then greeting all other faces. Her stance strong and calm however I can clearly see the fire in her eyes.

Everyone was surprised but nodded anyway. The way she said the words was so full with confidence that it left no place for doubts.

I wished to touch her, my arms itched to hold her close to my chest and inhale that sweet scent of her skin. My mouth watered. I swallowed fisting my hands to hold back.

She walked ahead and picked up the notepad from the table scanning my vitals.

"You still need some rest."

She wondered outloud.

Then suddenly the door to the room opened with a loud bang and a guy rushed in, his eyes wide.

Both Annie and Liu Zhan turned to him as he spoke.

"They caught one in China, he is being auctioned right now!"

He thrusted an iPad towards them. Annie held it.

Without realising we all crowded near it.

It was a large hall filled with people. There was a podium and stage. On the left side of the stage there were some people standing their eyes wide as if a deer caught in the lights, bodies shaking and heads down. The attire they had on were indeed expensive and screamed luxury.

On right side of the stage on a podium there was an MC, his face covered in a masquerade mask same as everyone else. The front row had all the esteemed guests. Even though you can't see their faces completely the view of their jaws and the way their mouths formed an ugly smile had us all in shivers.

But that is not all, in the middle of the stage there was a man standing in a black louis vuitton jacket and black pants. He is tall and has a good build. His styled perfectly. Pair of grape eyes hooded with thick and dark black eyebrows, pink lips. High cheekbones and strong jaws completed his look. His legs were tied with iron shackles.

"Ladies and gentlemen our model doesn't need any introduction. He is the prince of China. The prince of pop and everyone's heartthrob, I present you,
KRIS WU!!!!!"

There was an eardeafening applause and cheering.

"The starting price is 20 million dollars!! Anyone wants to bid more?"

The MC asked full of excitement.

"22 million dollars!"
"25 million dollars!!"

The bid went higher with each second. A havoc erupted in the hall people were almost falling off the chairs with excitement. Some even tried to get a hold of him on the stage and the bouncers were having a tough time holding them all back.

The greed in their eyes was sickening. I felt my stomach roll.

"Fu***ng hell!!! What kind of joke is this??"
Shouted Baekhyun with a pale face. His eyes wide in alarm. He had an expression that refused to believe what he was seeing.

"They have Yifan!!! How did they get him?"

"What are they going to do with him?"

The questions were asked one after another. But no answer was given.

"2 billion dollars!!"
Came a calm voice. A silence fell in the hall. All the faces turned to the source of voice. The MC was searched the face with a huge smile and spoke in the mic

"Do we have a higher bid? More than 2 billion? Anyone?"

He asked again with hope but noone raised their boards.

" And Sold to Mr. Pierce for 2 billion dollars!"
