Mystery: From Meeting Amon

Chapter 213 Price
The subterranean auction house is located next to the Tussock River in a Renaissance-style building with a pointed roof and arched windows.

Lewis followed Detective Rupert out of the carriage and walked to the remote back door.

"Boom boom boom... boom boom!"

Rupert knocked on the door according to the frequency of three long and two short, and after about ten seconds, Lewis found that there was a gaze peeping at him at the upper right.

After that gaze disappeared, the dark black door was opened, and a waiter in a tuxedo asked:
"What's the matter, sir."

Lewis frowned. This waiter knew Rupert and let him in?

Obviously, Rupert is not just a detective who is good at cracking human trafficking, he is likely to have something to do with local human trafficking.

Maybe Rupert is an intermediary in the industrial chain of human trafficking.

However, none of this has anything to do with Lewis, he just wants to take Mandy away quickly.

Rupert coughed lightly and introduced:
"This gentleman is a businessman from Loen. He has some special hobbies, you know."

The waiter raised his head and looked at Lewis. Lewis nodded with a smile. If you have a special hobby, you have a special hobby. Fame is not important.

"please come in."

With Rupert's guarantee, Lewis was able to enter the building. The waiter was only responsible for ushering them into the house, and soon an old man who was blind in one eye took over his job.

The old man held a lantern in his hand, and he walked ahead, leading Lewis and the others all the way to the stairs leading to the ground.

Stepping on the black stone bricks, Lewis paid attention to the surrounding environment and atmosphere. There were sounds of iron chains ringing and moaning below, and the air was mixed with the smell of excrement.

It's hard to imagine that in the current Intis, you can still see the prison of the knight era.

Lewis' inspiration has permeated everywhere. With his inspiration, he has completely mastered the structure of the prison, and can even find the direction of escape in an instant.

At the end of the stairs, Lewis came across two heavily armed men with steam rifles.

You must know that neither the steam rifle nor the equipment on them can be obtained by ordinary people. Not only does it require a lot of money, but it also requires sufficient identity.

The existence of these two people is a warning, probably telling traders not to do anything out of line, otherwise they will not be able to bear the consequences.

Lewis lowered his head, taking advantage of this opportunity, he blinked his right eyelid three times in a row, and activated his spirit vision.

In the line of sight, the two astral bodies in front of them showed bright colors, and they were obviously two extraordinary beings.

"Judging from the color of the astral body, these two should be Sequence Seven. Earl Yell is really a big deal."

Lewis didn't alarm the opponent, and he didn't show any urgent desire, even though he already knew where Mandy was.

The old man who was blind in one eye would occasionally poke the slave in the cage, and with a ferocious smile, introduced to Lewis from the side:

"The slaves here are all brought from Balam and Loen, and the girls are much purer than those sluts in Intis, so the prices are a bit high.

Of course, if you like men, we can also arrange, even the length can be chosen. "

"They don't look very old. I like those who are a few years older than me." Lewis can always find a suitable excuse to refuse the one-eyed old man's proposal.

Stopping and stopping, Lewis finally came to the cage where Mandy was locked.

That head of gray hair has long been dirty, and even the clothes on his body are not intact. His sister, who was once proud of him, is now like a down-and-out tramp.

More importantly, even after seeing him, Mandy didn't show any emotional fluctuations in his eyes, maybe the memory has disappeared.

"Sir, I didn't expect you to like this." The one-eyed old man looked at Mandy and said with a strange smile.

"Don't you think 25 to 30 years old is the most attractive time for women?" Lewis didn't deny it, he just stepped forward and looked around, like looking at goods.

Next, he looked at a few more slaves, and after finishing the superficial work, he returned to Mandy and said, "That's it, I hope to get a reasonable price."

"Of course, 500 pounds is a very reasonable price." The blind old man said, in the slave auction, this price is considered a middle price.

Lewis didn't continue to negotiate the price at all, he just nodded and said coldly: "I will pay soon."

"Wait a minute!" At this moment, Rupert stopped Lewis and reminded: "Mr. Lewis, think again, this lady has failed auctions many times, maybe she is not suitable for this price."

As he spoke, Rupert winked at Lewis.

Lewis immediately understood that his behavior was too unlike a merchant who bought slaves. If he left like this, he might attract the attention of the Earl of Yale.

Of course, more importantly, he still wants to know some things, which will help him in his next judgment.

Thinking of this, Lewis frowned, hit the ground hard with his cane, and asked the blind old man:

"She has failed many auctions, why didn't you tell me in advance? In this case, I will have to consider whether the 500 pounds is worth it."

The blind old man's face was gloomy, and there was obvious tension on his face.

"Guest, I don't think this matter is important.

There is no doubt that this lady is the best in body and appearance, and she is worth 500 pounds! "

With a gloomy face, Lewis hit the ground hard again with his cane.

"Okay... well..."

The blind old man was much more honest, and explained:
"This lady has actually been auctioned several times, but the buyers are all businessmen with little vision.

At first, they were also satisfied with the lady, but soon they got bored, after all, many people have only been new to slaves for a few days.

After that, they found various reasons, saying that this lady had terrible bad luck, and then tried to return it. "

Lewis was thoughtful. Amon had assured him of Mandy's safety. It is not surprising that those businessmen were probably intimidated by Amon.

"No matter what era, there are always some stupid people who don't believe in the power of science and are always suspicious." Lewis smiled faintly and concluded the matter.

However, he also received a discount of 100 pounds and bought Mandy out for 400 pounds.

Unknowingly, it was almost noon, and Lewis transported Mandy under the arrangement of the staff.

After all, human trafficking is an illegal act, and it must be handled properly so as not to cause trouble to the buyer. In many cases, it is even necessary to use extraordinary power to do some follow-up matters.
