Chapter 213: Price

The underground auction house is located next to the Tasok River, in a building with a pointed ceiling and arched windows, in the Renaissance style.

Lewis followed Detective Rupert out of the carriage to the back door in the middle of nowhere.

"Knock knock...... Knock knock! ”

Rupert knocked on the door at a frequency of three long and two short, and after about a dozen seconds, Lewis noticed that a gaze was peering at him in the upper right position.

When the gaze disappeared and the dark black door opened, a waiter in a tuxedo suit asked:

"What's the matter? This gentleman. ”

Lewis frowned, this waiter knew Rupert and let him in?

It's clear that Rupert isn't just a detective who specializes in cracking human trafficking, he probably has something to do with local human trafficking.

Perhaps, under the chain of human trafficking, Rupert is an intermediary.

None of this had anything to do with Lewis, though, he just wanted to get Mandy away as soon as possible.

Rupert coughed lightly and introduced:

"This gentleman is a businessman from Rune, and he has some special fetishes, you know."

The waiter raised his head and looked at Lewis, Lewis smiled and nodded, if you have a special fetish, you have a special fetish, and reputation is not important.

"Please come in."

With Rupert's assurance, Lewis was able to enter the building, and the waiter was only responsible for guiding them into the house, and soon an old man with one eye took over.

The old man, with a lantern in his hand, walked in front and led Lewis and them all the way to the staircase that led to the underground.

Stepping onto the blue-black stone bricks, Lewis paid attention to his surroundings and the smell, the sound of chains rattling and moaning below, and the smell of feces mixed with the air.

It is hard to imagine that in the current Intis, you can still see the prison of the knightly era.

Lewis's inspiration has permeated everywhere, and with it, he has mastered the structure of the prison and can even find the way to escape in an instant.

Reaching the end of the stairs, Lewis met two heavily armed men armed with steam rifles.

You must know that neither the steam rifle nor the equipment on their body can be obtained by ordinary people, and it requires not only a lot of money, but also enough status.

The presence of these two men is a warning, presumably to tell traders not to want to do anything out of the ordinary, otherwise they simply cannot afford the consequences.

Lewis lowered his head, and taking advantage of this opportunity, he blinked his right eyelid three times in a row and turned on his vision.

In his line of sight, the two star spirits in front of him showed bright colors, and it was obvious that they were two transcendents.

"Judging from the color of the star spirit, these two people should be sequence seven, and Count Yael is really generous."

Lewis didn't alarm the other man, nor did he show any eagerness, even though he knew where Mandy was.

The old man, who was blind in one eye, occasionally poked the slave in the cage and, with a hideous smile, introduced Lewis to the side:

"The slaves here are all shipped from Byron and Rune, and the girls don't know how much purity they are compared to the sluts of Intis, so the prices are a bit on the high side.

Of course, if you like men, we can arrange it too, and even the length can be chosen. ”

"They don't look very old, and I like to be a few years older than me." Lewis could always find the right excuse to turn down the one-eyed old man's offer.

Stop-and-go, Lewis finally came to the cage where Mandy was kept.

The gray hair has long been dirty, and even the clothes on his body are not intact, and the sister who once made him proud is like a down-and-out homeless man at this time.

What's more, even when she saw him, Mandy didn't have any mood swings in his eyes, perhaps because the memory was gone.

"Sir, I didn't expect you to like this." The one-eyed old man looked at Mandy and smiled strangely.

"Don't you think that 25 to 30 years old is the time when women are the most attractive?" Lewis didn't deny it, he just stepped forward and roughly looked at it, as if he were looking at the goods.

Next, he looked at a few more slaves, and when he had finished the surface work, he returned to Mandy and said, "That's it, I want a reasonable price." ”

"Of course, £500 is a very reasonable price." The blind old man said that in a slave auction, this price was considered a medium price.

Lewis didn't continue to negotiate the price at all, he just nodded and said coldly, "I'll pay soon." ”

"Wait a minute!" At this moment, Rupert stopped Lewis and reminded: "Mr. Lewis, think again, this young lady has been sold many times, maybe she is not suitable for this price." ”

As he spoke, Rupert winked at Lewis.

Lewis immediately realized that he was behaving too much like a slave-buying merchant, and that if he left like this, he would probably attract the attention of the Earl of Yales.

Of course, more importantly, he also wants to know something that will help him judge next.

Thinking of this, Lewis frowned, struck the ground with his cane, and questioned the blind old man:

"She's been sold many times, why didn't you tell me in advance? In that case, I have to consider whether the £500 is worth it. ”

The blind old man's face was gloomy, and there was obvious nervousness on his face.

"Guest, I don't think it's important.

There is no doubt that this lady is the best in terms of figure and appearance, and she deserves 500 pounds! ”

Lewis grimaced and slammed his cane on the ground again.

"Good...... Well......"

The blind old man was much more honest, and explained:

"This lady has actually been auctioned off a few times, but the buyers are all discerning businessmen.

At first, they were also happy with the lady, but soon they got tired of it, after all, many people only had a few days of novelty for slaves.

After that, they found all kinds of excuses, saying that the lady had terrible bad luck, and then they managed to retreat. ”

Lewis was thoughtful, Amon had assured him of Mandy's safety, and it was not surprising that those merchants were likely intimidated by Amon.

"No matter what the era, there are always some stupid people who don't believe in the power of science and are always suspicious." Lewis smiled faintly and made a decision on the matter.

However, he also got a £100 discount and bought Mandy for £400.

Before you know it, it's approaching noon, and Lewis is transporting Mandy under the arrangement of the staff.

After all, human trafficking is an illegal act, and it must be dealt with properly so as not to cause problems for buyers, and in many cases even use supernatural powers to do some follow-up.
