TOP SECRET: Adventures in the Dark Continent

Chapter 264: Marsh Group's Auction

"Are you ready?" Liu Yang asked the two women in front of him.

"Yes" Both respond at the same time.

"Let's go to the auction." Liu Yang left the room and was followed by the two women.

The trio spent the last four days inside the room drowning in the carnal pleasures. None of them left the room all that time.

The only things they did were sleep, sex, eat, and bathe. Apart from these four things, nothing else has been done.

That was the rest they decided to have before going to the auction.

If the pair gets the items they are looking for, they will leave when the exit doors open. they took advantage of each other's warmth in every possible way.

The city center was more lively than usual. The cheerful mood spread throughout the area because of the auction.

The auctioned items were valuable, but the biggest curiosity was about the last three items to be sold. For they were the most secret and possibly most expensive items in the entire auction.

Unfortunately, the number of places for the public is limited, so not everyone had a chance to enter. Besides, the price was quite expensive for an entry. This further decreased the number of people who can enter.

During the walk to the city center, Liu Yang saw that many nobles were heading towards the center using their luxurious and decorated carriages.

They were all excited to see the auction.

The poorest didn't have a chance to go to the auction because they didn't have enough crystals to pay the entry fee. Only a few commoners had a chance to do this.

Thus, the vast majority of customers at the auction were noble.

The large auditorium in the center of the city was already with many people entering. The lively place with all kinds of conversations echoes around.

A large sign can be seen at the entrance with the following words written, Marsh Group's Commercial Auditorium.

The Marsh Group is one of the most famous and wealthy merchant groups in the Temore Kingdom, they even had business in other kingdoms.

The place looked like a big theater with beautiful women dressed in sexy clothes dancing in the entrance. They were advertisements to attract noble customers.

If they manage to attract the attention of a noble and are chosen to accompany them. They will receive a commission for that. Thus, women do all kinds of dance and erotic poses.

Nobles are proud to have the chance to go to such a place, they look at the commoners around with arrogant looks. Because they are entering a place that the vast majority cannot.

The entrance to the auditorium was not supervised by any guard, as it is not necessary. Nobody has the courage to confuse the surrounding areas because the place belongs to a very influential business group within the Temore Kingdom.

So it is normal not to need guards to avoid confusion or theft.

To enter the auditorium, the person only needs to put the crystals inside the inbox to be allowed to enter. Customers also receive a business card to prove that they are a customer.

If someone takes a slave to the auction, that person will also need to pay.

Anyone who wants to enter the auditorium for the auction must pay the entry fee.

This system is the same as the city entrance. It is quite safe.

As the place is very influential and feared by others, even the other nobles. No one would like to confuse the place.

The queue moved quickly and without a problem.

Liu Yang, Aruna, and Maev's turn came quickly. They just needed to put the crystals inside the box to be able to enter.

None of the three had problems with entry and passed without a problem.

The interior of the auditorium was spacious with large numbers of people walking around.

As in the entrance, many half-naked women walk around the place in an attempt to seduce a nobleman. But there were not only women, some handsome, muscular men wearing only pants can also be seen standing near doors and walls, they did the same job as women.

The difference is that men attract women. These women were usually noble middle-aged women with slightly poor sex life or widows who have not been active for a long time. So they call men to do activities with them in places like this.

Young women rarely do this kind of thing because they were used as tools for political marriages, so they need to be virgins for that.

The auditorium was divided into two sides, the VIPs and the common ones. As always, VIPs had a private room for added security and relaxation. Ordinary people only had one chair to sit on.

To be considered a VIP, this person must be a special customer of the Marsh Group. But to do that someone needs to spend a large amount of money in the group's stores.

The Marsh Group peculiarly classifies its customers. The more money that person spends, the better their rank will be within the store.

That is, to be considered a good customer, that person only needs to spend a lot of money. The group does not care about the person's influence or power, they just want to know about the money they have spent on it.

Because of that, it is very easy to be a VIP. The problem is that the amount of money spent is very large and not everyone can do that.

As the city inside the mine is different from the outside. Customers who are Marsh Group's VIPs outside are not considered VIPs within the mining city, as they are totally different locations. 

The only way to be a VIP at Marsh Group within the city of the mine is to spend an absurd amount of crystals. Be it mined or creatures, but the sum of the two must reach a certain value to be considered VIP.

The VIP title at Marsh Group was not just an empty title, it also represents wealth and power within the mining city. Only a few achieve this feat.

Thus, noble families compete with each other to see who is VIP or not.

In the eyes of ordinary people, this dispute is meaningless and useless, but for nobles, it is a very valuable thing.

When they meet other nobles, they can boast of being a March Group VIP customer. This shows how much money they have already spent and also the power of the family.

The auditorium was already full of people, but it still has a lot of empty seats. The VIP rooms were in less quantity, only fifty, but only thirty were used.

The number of people who can enter the auction is around fifteen hundred, but only seventy percent has been completed so far.

One hour later

The auditorium was not yet completely full, but enough to start the auction

"Ladies and gentlemen, the March Group's auction will begin"
