Chapter 290: Chapter 63 Persuasion of Ice_5
A hoarse voice echoed from the right side of the hall, "Alright, we all know the rules, hurry up and start."
Jin Bo nodded, saying, "In that case, please bring out the first item up for auction." His voice had barely faded when two burly men wheeled a small cart onto the stage from behind, covered with a red cloth. Jin Bo smiled and said, "The first item up for auction is an expensive purchase from the Empire of Tian Jing." With that, he casually lifted the red cloth, revealing a shimmering silver vest. It didn’t look very large and aside from being silver, didn’t seem particularly special. Jin Bo explained, "This vest was made by an alchemist in the Empire of Tian Jing. Its most significant feature is that it can protect the wearer. Moreover, it has a certain degree of resistance to magic. Please, look." Saying this, he pulled out a dagger from his bosom and spread the vest out. He stabbed forcefully at it, but the vest remained unscathed without a single mark. He even tried to burn the vest with fire, but it did not change in any way.
Ah Dai furrowed his brows. Although the vest was valuable, it didn’t look as good as his Giant Spirit Snake Clothes. It didn’t seem to have any unique features, and did not seem to fit the characteristics of this dark auction.
Jin Bo continued, "With this vest, it’s like having an additional life. The starting price is ten thousand gold coins, please place your bids."
The customers did not seem very interested in the vest, and the bids weren’t fervent, eventually, it was bought by a VIP guest number eleven at the price of twenty-one thousand gold coins.
Perhaps sensing some dissatisfaction, Jin Bo gave a mysterious smile, saying, "The second item for auction is something that invariably appears in every auction. However, this time, it’s far more valuable. Please bring out the second item." Again, two burly men came up, pushing another cart onto the stage, removing the previous cart and its red cloth. Jin Bo uncovered the red cloth on the second cart, revealing five bottles laid out on it. The bottles had a common design, seemingly made of crystal. Each of the five bottles was filled with a dark red liquid, within which floated some small white objects.
Ah Dai clearly felt Ice, who was leaning on him, shuddering. He lowered his gaze to her and noticed that Ice’s lips were slightly trembling. She lowered her head and did not say anything.
Jin Bo proudly announced: "Honorable guests, you should all know what this is. These five bottles contain Fetuses. But unlike previous auctions, this time, the Fetuses are very special. Not only are they of the finest quality, prenatal between four and five months, but the five bottles also contain Fetuses of the Sunset People, Washington people, Tian Jing people, and Yalian people, the largest race of the Federation of Sordum. The bottle in the middle is the most valuable because it was extracted from a high-level light magician. But do not worry, the light magician is definitely not from the church. We wouldn’t dare to violate the respectable Sky God. The divine energy inherent in a light magician makes the Fetus she gestated particularly valuable; it did cost us a lot of effort to acquire. With these five Fetuses, you can prepare premium healing medicines. Of course, they can be used for other things too. These are undoubtedly the best sacrificial offerings."
After Jin Bo’s introduction, there was an uproar among the guests. It seemed that everyone was surprised by the second item up for auction. Ah Dai looked at Yan Shi in confusion, only to find Yan Shi’s face as pale as a sheet with his hands balled into fists. He couldn’t help asking, "Big brother, what is this Fetus?"
Yan Shi glanced at Yan Li who was just as curious on the other side, then turned to Ah Dai, forcing himself to speak in a whisper, "Brother, you mustn’t let your emotions get the better of you. This Fetus is actually an unfinished embryo. In other words, the Dark Night Society has murdered five pregnant women and extracted their fetuses through cesarean sections." Yan Shi wasn’t very strong and even though they were close, even whispering took a lot of his strength. Catching his breath, his eyes flashed coldly while staring fixedly at the five bottles on the stage.
Hearing Yan Shi’s explanation, Ah Dai was completely dumbfounded; the five bottles on the stage represented ten lives! Why, why were these people so cruel? They even killed pregnant women. Unprecedented anger surged through Ah Dai’s mind. Ah Dai felt his body’s energy boiling, his mind filled with rage, and he wanted to storm the stage without care for the consequences. At that point, Ice who had been clinging to his arm suddenly held him tighter, her delicate body shifted onto his thighs, her arms wrapping around Ah Dai’s neck. Her cold lips covered Ah Dai’s in a kiss, sending a shock throughout Ah Dai’s body. His arms instinctively wrapped around Ice, and from her lips transferred a chilling energy that quickly dispersed his anger, restoring calmness. As he kissed her soft lips, Ah Dai was in a panic. The powerful allure continuously stimulated his body, making his breathing heavy. Yan Shi and Yan Li were looking at Ah Dai in surprise, not understanding what he was doing.
