Chapter 471: Girl in a Cage
Chapter 471: Girl in a Cage
After pondering for a while, the man waved to the two women behind him, signaling them to leave.
After the two men left, the man cautiously took a few steps forward and said,
"I want to ask, do you know the Queen?"
Liu Chi nodded without denying and immediately answered the man's question.
"I think there is no one in Liro who doesn't know Her Majesty the Queen, right? Isn't it a bit redundant for you to ask these questions?"
The man lowered his head and said quickly,
"Yes, yes! I am sorry for offending you. I will discuss your request and ideas with the guests in the North Hall. If that fails, the item will go to the one with the highest bid."
Liu Chi nodded and smiled.
"The essence of an auction is that the highest bidder wins. If you dare to maliciously raise the price or conduct a shady auction, you will no longer be able to work in Liro."
The man nodded in agreement, saying yes several times in a row, and then said,
"Then I will take my leave first. Please come in, distinguished guest. I hope you will forgive me for the poor hospitality of Qin Pavilion."
As he spoke, the man bowed to Liu Chi, then he turned and left the room.
As the man left, the original room disappeared instantly, and Liu Chi, who had been invisible in the corridor, reappeared. He looked at the corridor where the man left, shook his head slightly, took a few steps, and pushed open the door of the room.
While Liu Chi was talking to the man, the price of the cat-eared girl rose all the way to seven hundred diamond coins, and the man in charge of the auction seemed to have received instructions. He delayed counting down and guided Maggie and the bald man to continuously raise the price.
"Lord Liu Chi, why did you take so long to go out? I can't control the price any more, it's almost going to be one thousand!"
When Maggie saw Liu Chi coming back, she felt like she had seen a savior, and subconsciously handed the crystal ball in her hand to Liu Chi who was walking towards her.
"No, you take it."
Liu Chi walked around for a while, sat down at his seat, picked up his chopsticks and started eating.
"Are you waiting for our quotation now?"
Liu Chi asked,
"Yes, the host is not counting down now, so we can delay the time. That's why I'm waiting for you to come back. Do you want to increase the price? How much?"
Liu Chi chewed the food in his mouth fiercely, and only spoke after swallowing it.
"Just wait and see. The results should be out soon."
Maggie understood. He also heard the hidden meaning from Liu Chi's words. The reason why Liu Chi went out was to deal with the auction item.
Seeing that Liu Chi had the money, Maggie raised the price to seven hundred and five diamond coins.
While the man was reporting, the person in charge also returned to North Hall No. 1.
Seeing the man's depressed look, the bald man was very unhappy. Before the man came over, he questioned,
"What? You didn't finish what I asked you to do? Why are you raising the price again?"
The man took a deep breath and walked up to the bald man and said,
"My Lord Earl, you can't afford to offend the people at West Hall No. 3."
"Oh?"
The bald man was a little confused, and at the same time he started to think in his mind, could it be that the title of the person opposite him was higher than his?
"Duke or Marquis?"
The bald man asked directly that if the other party was really older than him, he would decisively give up the auction item. After all, buying a slave for 500 diamond coins was already a huge loss.
"Neither. I looked at the appointment registration and it's just a baron. But this person, Lord Earl, you really can't afford to offend him."
The bald man became puzzled and asked,
"As a count, would I be afraid of a mere baron?"
The man quickly laughed, using a smile to make up for the embarrassment. At the same time, he deliberately moved his head closer to the bald man. Under the bald man's disgusted eyes, he slowly opened his mouth and asked in a low voice,
"Mr. Earl, can you please spare me a moment to talk?"
The bald man raised his eyebrows, and instantly realized that the man was not convenient to talk here, so he opened his mouth and said,
"You all get out."
After patting the buttocks of the two women beside him, he continued to speak while pinching them.
"You two get out too."
Soon there were only two people left in the huge room.
The man carefully looked around and confirmed that no one was hiding. Then he whispered,
"My Lord Earl, there was the Baron's men in the room just now. Your every move was under his surveillance. He already knew our conversation just now, so."
The man paused and continued,
"For the future of Qin Pavilion, I'm afraid we can no longer cooperate with you in this auction. For this slave, between you and the baron, the higher bidder will win."
The bald man looked at the man solemnly. He knew very well what the man meant by his words. The reason why Qin Ge became the most famous restaurant in central Liro, in addition to its outstanding style, was the powerful force behind it.
After thinking for a while, the bald man's mind was no longer on the cat-eared girl, but began to think about who the traitor was among his subordinates.
"Forget it. Thanks for your reminder. I won't fight for this auction item. You guys can handle it in your own way."
The bald man said to the man, watching the man leave, he leaned back on the recliner and said with a smile,
"Remember to tell your superiors after you get out that I will not come to Qin Pavilion again! Help me call the people outside in."
"Yes, Lord Earl!"
The man walked out of the room with a serious expression and called out to the people in the corridor, asking them to return to their rooms.
After receiving the message, the man in the theater frowned slightly, then quickly smiled and started counting down.
"It seems that our VIP guest in North Hall No. 1 has given up the fight, so this half-orc girl belongs to guest No. 3 in West Hall!"
"Seven hundred and five once!"
. . .
After three announcements accompanied by the sound of hammers, Liu Chi and his team successfully captured the cat-eared girl in the cage.
Maggie looked at Liu Chi in surprise. In his sight, Liu Chi was concentrating on tasting the food and didn't even turn his head to watch the theater.
"Lord Liu Chi, we won!"
Maggie was a little excited. From the corner of his eye he saw the cage being covered with red cloth again and pushed out.
Liu Chi nodded, threw out a piece of uncut fur, and said,
"Get ready first. That demi-human is about to be sent over. He's naked."
Maggie took the fur and smiled happily.
As the knock on the door sounded, Maggie's mind was no longer on the auction.
Seeing the man in the theater pushing the cage covered with red cloth into the room, Maggie immediately stood up and walked to the side.
Seeing Maggie taking the initiative, the man laughed and quickly uncovered the red cloth.
Seeing the cat's ears trembling slightly, Maggie's heartbeat suddenly quickened.
The cat-eared girl curled up her body, frowned slightly, and stared at Maggie with alert eyes. There was no expression on her face.
The man said,
"Orcs are wild animals. For your safety, Qin Pavilion will provide a slave contract before you release it from the cage."
As he spoke, the man took out the slave contract he carried with him and skillfully reached his big hand into the cage.
This action caused the cat-eared girl to riot, and hard and sharp nails instantly grew on her fingertips. However, the girl's attack had no effect on the man.
The man took advantage of the situation and grabbed her arm, squeezing it slightly, and blood dyed the man's palm red.
"My Lord, don't be afraid. This is a normal phenomenon of orc enslavement!"
The man smeared the blood on the slave contract, and then handed the slave contract to Maggie.
"You put your blood on this piece, and the slave contract is completed. From now on, this orc can no longer disobey your orders."
Listening to the man's words, Maggie tilted her head slightly, glanced at the girl in the cage, then put her finger in her mouth and gently bit it open, smearing her blood on the slave contract.
"Congratulations!"
The man congratulated them, then he said goodbye to the three people and left the room.
After the man left, Maggie leaned over to the cage, handed the fur in her hand inside, and asked,
"Can you understand us? Put it on. It will be more comfortable."
After not feeling any evil from Maggie, the girl relaxed her guard and reached out to take back the fur while speaking,
"I can talk."
