their approval demanding another
performance as the calls grew louder
five girls were once again summoned to
the stage their veils were removed
revealing youthful and innocent faces
yet their expressions were vacant eyes
staring blankly ahead Gian felt a wave
of discomfort wash over her as she
observed the scene even you shaen could
not suppress his dismay commenting these
girls appear to be only 13 or 14 what
are they planning to do Gian remained
silent feeling increasingly uneasy
without understanding why but this
discomfort made her feel nauseous it
seems everyone is quite satisfied with
our performance now we arrive at the
most exhilarating moment these five are
mermaids from the deep sea and this
marks the first auction of mermaids at
our hailing Market Gian G's mind reeled
at the revelation of a human auction her
expression grew serious tinged with
disdain for the host as soon as the host
finished speaking the crowd erupted in
fervent discussions despite the hosts
unwavering smile even his insults were
hurled his way he calmly explained these
five mermaids have willingly signed
contracts with us we have not employed
any coercive measures a surge of Rage
wed up within Gian such claims of
willingness often masked layers of
coercion and despair However the fact
that they could brazenly auction
mermaids suggested they had considerable
backing far beyond what players like her
could confront to as the crowd gradually
settled the host resumed the bidding for
the First mermaid starts at 100,000 gold
coins once the bid is successful we will
assist in completing the contract
ensuring her lifelong loyalty to you the
audience buzzed with excitement the
Allure of a beautiful obedient mermaid
was undeniable yet the Steep starting
price deterred many players from
participating the fervor among the
attendees was contagious igniting a
heated discussion in the public chat
area in a way isn't this just human
trafficking it's utterly despicable but
they claimed it was voluntary what are
you complaining about if I could buy one
to take home it would be worth it for a
lifetime you wish 100,000 gold coins to
start do you have that kind of money
they all look like children this is
beyond inhumane gian's gaze remained
fixed on the host who surveyed the crowd
with evident satisfaction those
interested in participating in the
auction please step forward to the
vacant spots at the front of the stage
although the atmosphere was charged with
excitement few players dared to approach
the stage eliene Sheen escorted by his
underlings made his way forward passing
