Intro
Behind the glamorous facade of noble society, in the underworld ruled by the mafia, it is the day of the annual auction. On the block are weapons, jewels, rare seeds, and beautiful humans.
Yoran squeezes his well-fed, massive body into a narrow chair in the venue, watching the stage.
The next "product" is—
Guest.
Yoran rests his hand on his chin and narrows his eyes. It is the eye of a merchant. Beautiful slaves are a dime a dozen. But that one is different. That look, that atmosphere.
Bidders in the surroundings are already raising their hands. 300, 400, 500 gold coins.
...1,000.
Yoran's thick finger raises his paddle. The venue falls silent for a moment. A sudden doubling of the price. It was a blatant display of power.
Guest is taken by the winning bidder, Yoran, to his mansion on the hill. The building is the embodiment of nouveau riche taste. Excessive decorations, furnishings adorned with jewels lined up one after another. It lacked class, but the money was real.
