Chapter 258 Woof! Woof! Woof!
When the host announced the girl's value, everyone exclaimed in surprise.
But when they saw that the girl in the cage was actually a Dark Elf, everyone felt that the price was really reasonable.
The host glanced at everyone; of course, he did not think that these people could afford to buy this Dark Elf girl.
The host looked at the VIP rooms, as those were the people he was targeting.
Suddenly, a female employee walked up to him and whispered something in his ear.
The host frowned, then raised his head to look at the girl: "Are you telling the truth?"
"Yes, Manager Miconia has confirmed so." The female employee nodded and spoke firmly.
The host also nodded: "Good! I understand."
Then he smiled, looked at the people participating in the auction, and said: "Guest number 27 just now made me realise that the new auction method is a very suitable method for valuable objects of high value."
"It both increases excitement and ensures fairness by ensuring that no auction room staff will cheat and push prices above normal levels."
"That's why I want to use the blind auction method to bid on this Dark Elf girl."
As soon as the host finished speaking, he let the female staff distribute the papers to all the guests present in the room.
Hearing that, Lathel frowned, glanced at Miconia, and then looked at the Dark-Elf girl with some expectation in his heart.
"Akna, is the Dark-Elf race very rare?"
Hearing Lathel's question, Akna bowed her head and explained: "Yes, Young Master. Their number is extremely small, and besides, their natural talent is many times stronger than that of humans."
"When they are born, they already have access to dark energy, and most Dark-Elves worship the 'goddess of lust', so they are also considered high-class Succubus."
Hearing that, Lathel nodded slightly while thinking to himself: 'Since Alec is auctioning Rolen, it means that he doesn't have 100,000,000 gold coins.'
'He certainly won't participate in the auction to buy that Dark-Elf girl. So... that girl is most likely not a heroine.'
Lathel looked at the Dark-Elf girl imprisoned in a cage. He silently assessed that she was not as beautiful as Lilith; however, she was still very beautiful.
'Hm… she's a Dark Elf of very high quality, and she is also considered a high-class Succubus; she's very suitable for my Harem.'
'Good! I will buy her, however…'
Lathel remembered the money he had left. After paying 5,000,000 gold coins to buy Rolen, he only had less than 20 million gold coins left.
He sighed. He had never needed so many gold coins. Anyway, in his mind, he never thought that he would buy slaves to add to his harem.
However, that Dark Elf girl was really too seductive, and he really wanted to possess her.
Akna saw Lathel's pensive expression and asked: "Young master, do you want to buy her?"
"Ah! I'm a little interested in her, it's just… I don't have enough money." Lathel spoke frankly about the problem he was facing.
"Young master, we still have this card, inside there are 200,000,000 gold coins. Although it probably won't be enough, I think Young Master can try a little."
Lathel frowned; his mind was torn. Half of him wanted to buy that girl, and the other half didn't want to use Ryne's money.
Holding the piece of paper in her hand, Lathel decided to write 130,000,000 gold coins on the paper, and then he gave it back to the auction room staff.
"Okay, I can only give such a number. If I can't buy her, then it means that our fate doesn't intersect."
"Huh!" Miconia smiled contemptuously: "It seems that men are all the same as they all use their lower heads to think, hahahaha..."
"That's right." Lathel was not angry. On the contrary, he sighed and said: "It's because I use the head below that I don't need you."
"What did you say?!" Miconia angrily shouted: "Am I not as beautiful as her?"
"Am I not as attractive as her? Compared to her, I am a hundred times better, more beautiful, and a hundred times more attractive."
"Your eyes are blind, that's why you think she's better than me. Stupid man, I curse you to be impotent, I curse you to be alone all your life."
After Miconia finished speaking, she panted, her large breasts rising and falling with each breath.
Hearing that, Lathel just sighed; he was not angry or worried at all: "Thank you; I heard that if you are cursed by ugly people, what happens will be the opposite."
"You… you… AAA!!!" Miconia shouted angrily, then she sat down on the chair, not wanting to pay attention to Lathel anymore.
Her face was as red as a block of embers, and her eyes were bloodshot.
Suddenly, Miconia thought of something, and she immediately called the old housekeeper to her side.
"You should do it like this… then do it like this…"
Hearing that, the butler frowned and said: "Miss, if you do that, I'm afraid..."
"Hmm?!"
"Okay…" The old butler sighed, then left.
Lathel also didn't pay attention to them; he was looking at the Dark-Elf girl in the cage, and he felt that if he managed to own her, he would be really lucky.
Akna glanced at Lathel, saw his expression, and felt extremely uncomfortable.
But she didn't say anything; she just silently looked at the Dark Elf girl while she thought of something.
A moment later, the host was checking the pieces of paper on the table when a female employee approached and whispered in his ear.
He frowned, looked towards VIP room 1, then looked at the female employee and asked: "Oy! Are you telling the truth? You must know that someone paid up to 160 million gold coins."
The female employee did not answer; she signalled the host to look behind the stage curtain.
The host saw Miconia's old butler, took a deep breath, quickly nodded, and said: "I know."
He wiped away his sweat while feeling a bit worried. This was the first time he had received two consecutive orders in one auction.
However, he is just an auction chairperson, so he still has to do as this branch manager asks, otherwise...
The host shook his head, looked towards the people attending today's auction, and said: "I already have the results in hand; however, because the value of this girl is too high for everyone's safety, I will keep the customer who bought the Dark-Elf girl a secret."
"Therefore, everyone, please remain seated; please do not move. After the transaction is completed, everyone can leave normally."
Everyone frowned when they heard that. It was for the safety of the person who bought the Dark Elf girl, and everyone felt reassured.
After all, the transaction value was too large. If the identity of the person who bought the Dark-Elf girl is revealed, then there will be some people who are not afraid of death and want to steal the girl.
Or the Dark-Elf girl's friends will try to rescue her, and her buyer will definitely be in danger.
It can be said that the host's way of doing things made everyone here feel extremely satisfied, so they did not object.
Lathel sat in the room while feeling a bit strange. He glanced at Miconia, while he was secretly certain in his heart that she had controlled the host to do this.
Why did he think so?
First of all, she is the female lead, and female leads cannot be ordinary flower vases as they all have some function to help the male protagonist grow stronger.
Secondly, this is an auction room, and when the female protagonist appears in an auction room, 80% of the time she has a very high status here.
Therefore, Lathel could guess that the host was following Miconia's words.
Besides... As soon as the old butler left, the host changed the decision and auction method. He didn't think that everything would be so coincidental.
'Okay, it seems… It's my destiny to not be able to possess that Dark Elf girl.'
'It's okay, I still have Akna. Hehehe… just now Akna promised that she would do this, then do that too… hehehe…'
Lathel suddenly wished that time would pass quickly, and reach the evening... hehehe...
He stood up and then left. Akna felt strange seeing that, but she didn't ask and followed behind Lathel.
"Wait!" Miconia stood up and shouted in annoyance: "Have you forgotten what we said at the beginning?"
"After the auction ends, we will 'talk privately' for a bit. Whoever runs away is a dog, hahaha… Lathel, are you running away?"
Lathel turned her head to look at Miconia. She pouted, and then from his mouth came three barking sounds: "Woof! Woof! Woof!"
Miconia: "…" (°ロ°)!
Without waiting for her to react, Lathel left the room.
"Young master…" Upon leaving the room, Akna suddenly spoke: "Aren't you waiting for the results?"
Hearing that, Lathel shook her head: "No need, I know there will definitely be someone who will pay a higher price than me to own that Dark-Elf girl."
"Young master, what price did you offer?" Akna frowned and asked.
"130 million gold coins."
"That's very low; I thought that you would use all the 200 million gold coins in the card." Akna nodded and said.
Lathel smiled and replied: "At first, I also had that plan, however, after thinking carefully, I felt that the price was too high."
"Besides…" He said while patting Akna on the shoulder: "I have you now; I don't need any other women."
Akna's face didn't show any emotion, however, her heart was beating continuously, like it was about to jump out of her chest.
"You can't run away either." Lathel said, his eyes filled with anticipation and worry.
Akna bowed her head and said respectfully: "Young master, I am your servant; I will not run away. It's just... I'm afraid you won't accept me."
