Chapter 67 - Bidding For Slaves And Zino’s Arrival

Everyone started to laugh again when Rex suddenly stood up and said, "Yes, thank you for the explanation but can you tell me by what means is 1 million platinum coins less than 100 million gold coins?"

"Huh...?"

The silence returned again and everyone stopped laughing immeditely the moment they heard this.

Even Emilia herself was shocked and asked, "1 million... platinum coins?"

NOTE:

100 copper coins = 1 bronze coin.

100 bronze coins = 1 silver coin.

1000 silver coins = 1 gold coin.

1000 gold coins = 1 platinum coin.

So when Rex told that he was bidding 1 million platinum coins, it's worth was equivalent to 1 billion gold coins which was 10 times of 100 million gold coins.

Everyone was just staring at Rex after being shocked in such a way because the king himself would not have so many platinum coins.

They wondered about the source from where he got them but were unable to think anything.

Emilia didn't have any more gold in her hand and even if she did have, she wouldn't have been able to bid anymore. It seemed as if all her guys and dedication was broken by this one move which Rex made.

"So? Is my bid still invalid?" Rex asked while looking at the boat who was standing on the stage.

The host immediately changed his attitude the Maine then he heard about the platinum coins and said, "N-no not at all! Your bid is considered!"

The bid price had finally exceeded the total worth of many estates. It was indeed shocking news to all.

They wondered about the origins of Rex but little did he know that he was the heir of the kingdom of Rhone in which they were bidding.

The host finally sealed the bid and the item was given to Rex who immediately asked to be sent to him.

However the rule of the auction hall was that the items cannot be given immediately. They had to wait until the auction gets over and only after that can they take the items.

Thus, Rex waited patiently in his seat. All of them decided to not mess with Rex after looking at the amazing wealth he had but some of them eyed on his wealth and thought about gaining the wealth for themselves.

But their greediness didn't affect Rex in the slightest. All he was thinking about was the heart of the dragon that was beating even now.

He wanted to get it as soon as possible and understand the reason for the unusual behaviour of his Red Dragon Crest which was imprinted on his back.

The host then decided to continue the auction and it proceeded smoothly.

Everyone was trying to show off their wealth but they already knew who was the wealthiest person here.

Emilia too stopped buying things on random and was just waiting for Rex to

Bid again as she thought that he wouldn't have any more money now after bidding that great amount of coins!

"Okay my dear guests, that's all for today's item auction...", the host announced that proudly and elegantly.

Rex thought that the auction was over and was about to get up and leave the hall when suddenly the host announced another thing which made Rex pause.

"Now we will continue the auction since now that we will be bidding on are for SLAVES!"

All the esteemed guests including all the remaining people gave out a loud cheer as if that was what they were waiting for.

"So are you all excited!!!?", the host was cheering up the mood and everyone was responding to it rather perfectly.

They were indeed looking forward to this and Rex too thought about looking at the so called slaves trade that was going to happen.

"So here, lets welcome the first item..."

Rex was gritting his teeth when he heard the host say that living beings were just mere items in their eyes. But he controlled himself.

Even if he had extraordinary powers and unlimited wealth, he couldn't possibly change people's thinking right away.

One by one the slaves were shown and many of them were buying them. Rex didn't buy them in fact he couldn't because he thought that buying them would mean that he isn't against slavery.

Emilia was somewhat happy after she looked Rex sitting back and just closing his eyes. She too had a similar point of view as that of Rex.

She too hates slavery and wanted a system where everyone had equal rights. But that would mean the demolition of royal monarchy system and it would be targeted by many haters.

She had no one to support her so she never thought about making or even trying such a thing. But when she saw that Rex had somewhat similar mindset, she thought about asking him to join forces with her and help her to abolish slavery.

"So, now I'm going to introduce you to a fine material! She is a virgin and very cute! She can satisfy you perfectly!"

As soon as he announced this a cute girl with a fair skin tone was brought forward. She had two white ears on her head and a tail too which was white.

Her hairs were yellowish-golden and her eyes were sparkling like the blue gems. She seemed to be just 15-16 years old. It looked like she was beaten up a lot and was forced to come here. The bruises were clearly visible.

Also the crying marks were clearly seen. She was shackled completely so that she couldn't escape but it seemed like she didn't have any intentions of escaping in the first place.

She had already given up on living so her eyes that were sparkling was actually dead!

The moment other laid eyes on her they suddenly became excited. Most of them were men and basically they wanted to girl to satisfy their sexual desires and nothing else.

But among them was Emilia too. She too seemed tensed and wanted to bid right away.

"W-why? Why is she here?"

It was as if she knew about the girl who was on the stage. She couldn't bear to see that and immediately shouted, "Start the bidding!!!"

The host heard the voice and understood that she was being impatient and so were the others. So he immediately said, "Okay, without anymore delay, let's start the bidding! The one who wants to sell her had offered the starting bid to be 10,000 gold coins!"

Some of them stared at themselves the moment they heard the money.

"Are you kidding me? 10,000 gold coins only for this one slave girl? And that too a beast kin!!?"

The host replied, "Since she is a beast kin, and that too pure, her value is 10,000 gold coins!"

His answer did seem satisfying sobthey started to bid but even before the first bid was placed by anyone else, Emilia shouted, "I bid 1 million gold coins for the girl!"

"Huh...?", the host was again baffled by the bidding which Emilia made. It seemed as if she was ready to go to anu extent for the girl but there were still many people who were ready to his higher.

The bid started to rise and had finally reached 20 million gold coins when suddenly the door was banged open and someone arrived.

"His highness, prince Zino Ernado has arrived!"

The moment they heard the name everyone was shocked and immediately stood up on their own to greet him.

He was a greedy fucking bastard who had a very bad reputation but no one dared to do anything against him since he was the eldest prince of the strongest nation of the world - ERNADO!

It was situated in a completely different continent and the prince had just recently arrived in the estate when he heard that an auction was being held here.

He looked at them and was smirking after looking at all of them tremble. But suddenly his gazes was turned towards Emilia and Rex who were sitting carefreely as if they didn't concern who entered or not.

"Tsk, how dare both of you disrespect me!!?"

He pointed his finger towards both of them.

Emilia immediately answered," I don't respect those who barge in like a barbarian."

"Pffftt.", some of them laughed uncontrollably while managing themselves to be quiet.

"How dare you!!!?", he immediately removed his sword in order to kill her when one of his body guards asked him to stop or else he would report this to his father.

He listened to him and took a seat because he didn't want to go against his father since he knew that the consequences will be really bad.

So immediately after he settled down the bidding started again. He looked at Emilia and found that she was really eager to buy the girl.

The moment he laid his eyes on her, he started salivating like a dog and put his own bid too!

"1,000 million gold coins!", he exclaimed.

The moment he said that the entire hall went into silence just like it had happened a moment ago.

"No... he cant take her...", she clenched her fist.

"I don't even have any more money. What do I do?"

Her expression changed completely and she was completely miserable when suddenly Zino said, "If you agree to sleep with me for a night, I will be ready to give this girl to you... decision is yours!"
