The Japanese startled for a second before he muttered in disbelief, "But, this amount of money is enough to get me ten gram in normal days!"
"Go ahead and get it then." With that said, Sawyer shifted his gaze disdainfully while waiting for someone else to offer a higher price.
"Get lost! Don't block my way if you can't afford to buy it!" It did not take long for the Japanese to be shoved away from the table.
It was shameful for the Japanese to be rejected openly in the crowd. He held a grudge against Sawyer, he scoffed, "Humph! Who are you to turn me down?"
A Briton who had also been shoved away earlier comforted him, "Dude, you're not the first one that he turned down. I'm pretty confident that you won't be the last one too. You can't deny the fact that his stock is guaranteed by the finest quality."
Just as everyone was busy striking deals with Sawyer, a massive metal cage covered with a cloth was being brought to the front from backstage. With the help of the four wheels fastened at the bottom part of the cage, it was not an impossible task for the men to transport the cage to the stage.
The emcee on the stage began to speak, "Gentlemen, we're here to present you with our eighth sideshow! The same rule applies! If any of you are interested with our display item, feel free to make your bid..."
The crowd was getting impatient with his long-winded explanation of the rule. They began booing, "That's enough! We already know how this works! Hurry up and show us what's in there!"
Before Amelia's turn, the emcee had successfully auctioned women, men, children and also one South America tiger which belonged to one of the endangered species...
"All right then! Gentlemen, we are honored to present to you our eighth item for today's auction!"
It was almost at the same time when the emcee finished his speech that the black curtain was being pulled off from the cage!
In the next second, the cage was fully revealed at the stage!
Amelia who was being caged still, successfully attracted attention from the crowd in the hall. Unlike those previous items, it was certainly eyecatching for men that a curvaceous young lady
was going to be auctioned!
Amelia was not used to the spotlight of the stage all in a sudden after spending the past hour in the dark. Hence, she subconsciously shut her eyes before she opened them up again gradually.
Her black pupils could be seen dilated in fear of the completely unfamiliar surrounding. It was not hard to tell from the quality of the fabric that the dress that she wore was tailor-made to her needs. In fact, they doubted if any other women could fit into the dress perfectly as Amelia did.
The spaghetti straps on her shoulder barely held the dress in place. The large area of skin including her cleavage was exposed in the air. The movement of her chest following her anxious panting made her look irresistibly tempting at this moment. Every men present at the scene was lured by her seductive beauty.
In addition, it was hard to overlook her slender legs with her leg-crossed position. Under the pressure of their stare, she brought her legs closer together in fear that she might experience wardrobe malfunction at any time.
The moment she heard that they were discussing her as if she was no more than an object, she could not help feeling humiliated. Her pupils dilated in a fury as she glared at them outrageously.
They were so used to have women flattering them. Even the South China tiger that was being auctioned earlier had its teeth removed which made it completely harmless to them. That was why none of the items could attract their attention as much as Amelia did. At this point in time, they were longing for a woman like Amelia who was both alluring and challenging to take down!
While everyone's attention was distracted by the woman in the cage temporarily, the Japanese approached Sawyer again. He then teased, "Quartley, I spot something interesting. Look, you and that woman in the cage share one similarity. Both of you seem to have black pupils."
Sawyer was in the middle of counting money when the Japanese spoke.
Sawyer continued, "Mr. Yamamoto, have you made up your mind to buy one gram of heroin from me with the amount of money you have? If not, I think you're blocking my view."
Yamamoto was furious.
"Quartley, you don't get to decide everything in this club. I guess I have a right to stand here at my wish!"
"Of course you do." Sawyer nodded expressionlessly before he stood up from his seat. In the next second, he was towering Yamamoto.
After all, Yamamoto was no more than five feet tall as compared to Sawyer who was probably over six feet tall in height.
Yamamoto subconsciously took a step back before he stammered, "What are you going to do?"
Sawyer had to lower his glance in order to meet Yamamoto's eyes. With a triumphant smile on his face, he said, "I guess this is the only way that you won't be blocking my view."
With that said, his gaze drifted away from Yamamoto and fell steadily onto the stage.
Amelia could not be any more terrified.
In fact, she had never found herself in such crisis before!
She was certain of a fact that she would be dead today!
The bidding was ongoing from the moment when her face was being revealed on the stage. Amelia could not help but tearing up. At this juncture, not only her terror was eating her alive, she was overwhelmed by a mixed feeling of humiliation and hatred!
Ten minutes later...
"Five hundred thousand dollar! Mr. George had just offered five hundred thousand dollar to bid on this beautiful lady! Is there anyone else who is willing to offer a higher price than this?"
The emcee had faith that Amelia was able to generate so much more than the amount being offered on the table at this moment. He thought for a while before he revealed the secret to the audience, "Gentlemen! Do you know what's the biggest secret that this beautiful lady has been keeping?"
"Enlighten us!"
"She is pregnant, guys!" The emcee was trying to make her weakness the biggest selling point. Hence, he called out ruthlessly, "Is there anyone who has a fetish towards pregnant women? I believe you can even make her into giving birth on the spot right now!"
"Me! I want her all by myself!"
"That's interesting! I'd like to offer ten hundred thousand dollar!"
Yamamoto was over the moon at the unexpected gift from Sawyer. His hands were trembling in excitement when he reached out to take the sealed packet from Sawyer. Meanwhile, he also promised that he would no longer serve as a trouble for Sawyer in return.
At this juncture in time, Amelia had not noticed Sawyer's presence so far. She was too caught up in dodging away from those perverted hands which were trying to reach out to the cage and touch her!
Meanwhile, someone took out a bag of gold and put into the cage as he offered, "This is all yours if you open up your legs." "Get lost!" Amelia cursed and struggled to contain her lust desire that was going to take charge of her at any time.
"Sweetheart, I'm sure that you've been spiked. You don't have to suppress yourself. I can assure you that you'd feel so much better if you let me touch you."
With that said, a foreigner reached out to grab one of her ankles that was dodging frantically in the air.
"Ah!" Fuming, Amelia counterattacked the perverted man by giving him a forceful kick with the help of her heels that she was forced to wear. As a result, he grunted in pain, the man released his grip on her ankle in the next second.
Her spiteful reaction managed to keep his perverted hand away for the time being. Nonetheless, meanwhile she had inevitably annoyed the person whom she kicked.
He could not feel his hand for some time after getting a forceful kick from Amelia. Holding grudge against her, the man was determined to teach her a lesson. Hence, he turned around and asked for the key to the cage from the watchman nearby. It was at this time that the emcee came forward and spoke to him regretfully, "Hey, Mr. George. I'm afraid that you no longer have a right to handle her. She is now officially Quartley's property. I have to send her over to him right away."
George had to admit that he was frustrated upon his words. However, he was also smart enough to know that it made no different from digging his own grave had he laid a finger on Quartley's property without his permission. After all, he could not risk ruining the chance of striking deal with Quartley.
After closing the deal, the emcee walked into the cage which was being left wide opened. Beaming, he said to Amelia, "You're free to go now, Miss."
Amelia bit her lips resentfully. She came to think that she was going to bite this man to death as soon as she was being released.
When the chain around her waist had been removed, Amelia was overwhelmed by an indescribable feeling which made her restless all in a sudden. At this moment, she longed for sexual intimacy desperately.
The emcee could not help but ask as soon as he noticed her suppressive expression, "Can you walk by yourself? Do you need me to hold you, Miss?"
With a murderous look on her face, Amelia stood up gradually. She tried to suppress the skin
irritation that was sweeping her feet away as she shot a cold glance at the emcee.
At the sight of this, the emcee shrugged it off, "Well, it seems like you don't need my help. Follow me then."
Amelia wobbled as she followed the emcee out from the cage.
Meanwhile, she saw a middle-aged man who was sexually assaulting a little boy which was probably not more than three years old. At the same time, a young man was having a charming woman licking his feet. What appeared to be the most irony part was that a South China tiger was being tricked into performing stunts for the audience in exchange for food..
Everything on auction today was being objectified as if they had been deprived of their dignity.
Amelia placed her hands on her tummy while she plaster a bitter smile on her face, "I'm sorry, my child..."
